What is this channel, and who am I?
Online philosophy content rarely meets the learning needs of intermediate and advanced viewers. This channel aims to remedy this gap, providing in-depth analyses of primary texts by philosophers and other theorists (e.g., psychoanalytic), and gradually unpacking complex and nuanced arguments influential to the history of ideas.
There are two main series running on this channel:
1) Thought in Motion: The Seminars of Jacques Lacan
2) Back to the Texts Themselves: A Series on Phenomenology
Occasionally, I produce mini-series on specific philosophical texts not part of these two main series
