  5. Infinite Jest and the Internet

    David Foster Wallace’s 1996 novel Infinite Jest imagines a not-too-distant future in which the equivalents of Hulu and Netflix streaming kill the advertising business to such an extent that the government decides to save the economy with "sponsored time": hence, a great deal of the novel’s action takes place in the "Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment." The book is deeply (if hilariously) pessimistic about people’s chances of connecting with one another in a culture built on one-way media consumption — this pessimism, of course, is represented most baldly by The Entertainment, a technology-enhanced movie so entertaining that anyone who once sees it becomes incapable of doing anything other than watching it over and over again. This panel will, broadly speaking, address the question of whether David Foster Wallace was or would have been a Clay Shirky fan. In other words, would (did) Wallace believe that the Internet is better for us than TV because we are active participants in the creation of Internet content? Why are the digerati enamored of Infinite Jest, and what can the book tell us about the Internet’s potential to help or hinder human connection?

  6. Philosophers Zone - 27 November 2010 - Hegel and Hegel’s God

    http://www.abc.net.au/rn/philosopherszone/stories/2010/3077690.htm This week, in another trek through the luxuriant and fascinating jungle that is the thought of one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, we turn to Hegel’s god and look at Hegel as a rational mystic.

    Our guest again is Robert M. Wallace, a philosopher best known for his book Hegel’s Philosophy of Reality, Freedom and God, and a man with a keen interest in philosophical mysticism.

    Liberal theologians during the last century and a half have wanted to articulate a conception of God that could satisfy people’s spiritual longings without conflicting with Darwinian evolution and other well-established scientific discoveries. Robert Wallace believes that Hegel had already done this

  7. Philosophers Zone - 20 November 2010 - The Mystery of Hegel

    His thought was hugely influential and hugely difficult. The philosopher Bertrand Russell once described him as the single most difficult philosopher to understand. He was Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Though he enjoyed relative fame during his lifetime, in the decades after his death in 1831, according to one writer, Hegel’s ideas were treated with "a mixture of contempt, horror and indifference."

    But something happened during the 20th century that brought Hegel back into sight for philosophers and thinkers. This week on The Philosopher’s Zone find out what that was. From http://www.abc.net.au/rn/philosopherszone/stories/2010/3071671.htm
