The Political Philosophy Trilogy Overview pt. 3 with Benjamin Studebaker at Theory Underground

Benjamin Studebaker studied and taught Political Philosophy at Cambridge, and they go hard! Here he gives TU a crash course overview of the topics and approach they took to part one of the three part series on political philosophy. The reason for this is because Studebaker is helping workers with earbuds and autodidacts at TU get a basis in political theory, for which we are super grateful. Never before in human history has this kind of rigor and depth been available to organic working class intellectuals! TU is planning, with Studebaker, a deep dive course into political philosophy in 2025. Are you excited? We are!

ABOUT
Theory Underground is a research, publishing, and lecture institute. TU exists to develop the concept of timenergy in the context of critical social theory (CST). CST is the umbrella over critical media theory (CMT), critical doxology and timenergy (CDT), critique of libidinal economy (CLE), critique of political economy (CPE), critique of gender and sex (CGS), and critique of psychiatry and therapism (CPT), critique of science and religion (CSR), and many more. To get basically situated in this field you will have to know a handful of important figures from a bunch of areas of the humanities and social sciences. That would be a lot of work for you if not for the fact that Dave, Ann, and Mikey are consolidating hundreds of thousands of hours of effort into a pirate TV-radio-press that goes on tours and throws conferences and shit like that… It’s a crazyfun experiment, and you can enjoy a ton of the content here for free.

I wish this was just an interview with Studebaker with pre-prepared questions tbh.

This is THE best contemporary categorization of relevant concepts, as well as framing toward movement - i have found out in this abysmal putrefied ether.
I am very interested in hearing [perhaps participating in] where it goes in the coming years.
i can't express accurately how encouraging it is to me.
Not much worth attending - otherwise, & elsewhere. My foray into cooperative on-line [no less academic. ooph. That world is totes screwed] political Discourse has revealed little else than affirmation of Nietzsche's take on human nature [not the least of which is demonstrated when it comes to the fools and their specialized channels who claim to represent his views. They are lil mo than archetype reducers and nationalist socialist strong man worshippers.], & a terminally poisoned well. [not that it has ever been any other way] It is immensely encouraging to witness Process such as this.
May ding an sich not slip through thy deft & present fingers.
if ye may Will so, & Geist willing
Here's to The Future!
Cheers! [or whatever the hipsters say] lol
the sentiment is sincere

xitter and re-xit. (said "shitter" and "re-shit")

Sup TU, any thought on referencing which of the marathon streams these shorter videos are coming from?

[jackf]

Lol at the identity politics of teaching Lukacs

If there isn’t much that can be done operationally, isn’t this basically fantasy football with theorists, just more content for entertainment purposes?

I ask this in good faith.
