Histories of Thinking | Philosophy | With Julia Ng, Jonathan Rée, and Justin E H Smith
Accounts of the history of philosophy become so familiar that we forget that they are limited and partial, yet they determine our perception of what counts as philosophical enquiry or knowledge. Which kinds of wisdom are excluded from traditional histories of philosophy? What modes of thought or expression have been neglected or deemed irrational? Whose interests are served by the prevailing accounts? We interrogate familiar narratives of philosophical history and explore more diverse, plural, and sometimes contradictory accounts of philosophical thought.

I came to view this discussion because I (however sporadically) try to follow Dr. Ng's thought. (Starting with her research on mathematics and Scholem/Benjamin, continuing on with the on-line symposium she led on Daniel Heller-Roazen's "Absentees," and more), and I was pleased to see how she insisted on opening up and broadening the discussion (Buber, martial arts, ethnographic imperialism, more), and challenging the premises (and various "load-bearing terms") at those points where they most creaked --- suggesting the abandonment of the idea of origin as being important, for example. The other participants followed her lead, of course --- all for the better, and I won't downplay their contributions [ . . . I enjoyed the gaffe, "Show me the Zulu of the Tolstoys"], but I can't help wondering whether the discussion would have stayed with the usual thought suspects and mile markers had she not been so insistent on opening things up for a better (wider) look. Thanks for hosting/posting this.
This is fantastic, thanks so much for sharing!
