  1. Most accounts of Hermann Weyl's objections to the Dedekind continuum treat them as episodes in the foundations of mathematics. This essay takes a different route. Beginning with Weyl's dissatisfaction with impredicative definitions, it follows a path through intuitionism, Husserlian phenomenology, and Riemannian geometry to ask a broader question: what if continuity is not a completed object but an ongoing achievement?

  2. A quotation from The Bible

    We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
     
    [μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    2 Corinthians 4: 18 [KJV (1611)]

  3. On Wednesday, August 13th, Firestorm Books is teaming up with AK Press to host an online event with multidisciplinary artist Rasheedah Phillips, author of a radical new treatise on time, "Dismantling the Master's Clock." Rasheedah will be joined in conversation by geographer and Scalawag founding editor Danielle Purifoy!

    In "Dismantling the Master's Clock: On Race, Space, and Time," Rasheedah Phillips unfolds the history of time and its legacy of racial oppression, from colonial exploration and the plantation system to the establishment of Daylight Savings. Yet Black communities have long subverted space-time through such tools of resistance as Juneteenth, tenant organizing, ritual, and time travel. What could Black liberation look like if the past were as changeable as the future?

    Register for this free event and find your copy of the book at firestorm.coop/events/3429-dis. Can't make the conversation live? Sign up and we'll send you a recording to enjoy at your convenience!

  6. Open Humanities Press is pleased to announce the #openaccess publication of The Rubble of Culture: Debris of an Extinct Thought by David A. Collings:

    openhumanitiespress.org/books/

    'Humanity now faces the possibility it will become extinct over the next few decades or so. This raises the prospect of thought’s own #extinction. But what does it mean for thought that it, too, might disappear?

    No familiar practice rests on a secure ground; under the prospect of humanity’s extinction, each one is shattered. The cultural legacy becomes a field of rubble.

    This book moves through this field to reconsider the emergence of #capitalism and #biopower the science of #climate change, and philosophies of #temporality

    In the process it contends with many innovative waves of thought from the past two centuries, from German #idealism to #deconstruction, from #psychoanalysis to #queertheory, from #decolonizing theory to #afropessimism, and from the critique of #ideology to speculative realism.'

  7. A rather pointed, good and correct quote on #economics and #growth from a 2005 paper by Andrew Abbott. It is well worth thinking about #process and #temporality. And possible #futures.
