Philosophy Pop (ular) , chronic urban thought blog is the title of pop philosopher Alejandro León Cannok. is a very interesting blog in which subjects are sometimes bizarre but often accurate. The "concept" of pop philosophy (?) I was pleased at how little I understood so far. The dialogues I've read, and participated in that space have been truly rewarding. Blog philosophy is nothing "academic", ie not part of the "academy", whatever that was that. It is situated on the banks of the usual speech and right to offer a space where you can see what is reflected in this blog proclaims: "Ideas that slip of the mind ". The author says what he thinks (something so rare in these days). It is the perfect space emancipatory Vattimo telematics, informatics that Babel, although it may be a homogenizing power device , also has a great liberating power .
Philosophy Pop (ular) embodies the "ideal" that is possible to extend the philosophy to all, leave the image of the philosopher locked in a room of a pension in the Netherlands or philosopher who wakes up at 5 am to read, write and prepare their classes to finish the day tied to his bed by 9 pm, that is, it demystifies the philosopher sitting in his ivory tower. And is that Leon is consistent with video ever posted on Zizek -talking philosophy in a bed with his naked body, how far you can see, and proclaiming that philosophers do not seek eternal truths.
So we have a blog, not to be pop, it ceases to be rigorous, philosophical, Nietzsche, wrong, anarcho , emancipating ... where philosophy with a hammer! Thanks to (because of) Alejandro Leon came to Michel Onfray in a particular way. Issues such as the body, debauchery, meat, hedonism, utilistarismo pragmatic, People's University, the Contrahistoria of Philosophy, alternative thinking, debauchery by writing and insulting the idealists, Platonists and illustrated, in short: A postmodern philosophy with Nietzsche might come to me "debole pensiero" stream of inspiration nihilistic force book La puissance d'exister .
To tell Alejandro León:
Anything can disturb the mind. Anything can be the subject of philosophy. No noble or trivial matters, only surfaces It would slip. Require only lurk. Meetings open to the experience to print some need in our thinking. Pop philosophy is an attitude.
Chevere ", right?
little more about Alexander. To do so, kindly copy words of philosopher Victor J. Krebs, who appreciate and admire, dedicated to Alejandro León.
Alejandro León Cannock - pop philosopher
Brief Alejandro León Cannock
Alejandro León Cannock began his apprenticeship philosophical classic academic education, Orthodox. His early years were dedicated exclusively to the understanding of the history of philosophy. Although the historical approach to philosophy is comfortable and Prove ¬ rights, there was something that did not quite fit. I felt that there was a gap between what com ¬ lit as the philosophical tradition and the needs of real life and everyday existence. After several years and apparently as a result of his encounter with the work of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, Alexander succeeded reconcile their philosophical interests with his personal concerns, and endorsed a language and a way of approaching the philosophy and history at the same time rigorous and consistent with the exegetical work required by the academy and able to think freely outside the box tax bill. His conception of the philosopher's task has changed dramatically: The philosophy is more closely identified with the work of an artist who seeks to affect the sensitivity and enable people with knowledge pretense of objectivity and neutrality, ie it is a creative activity of senses and not discovery of truth. This is how Leo not only understands but also intends to practice philosophy.
now convinced that it is possible, and above all necessary, philosophical discourse comes to all sorts of groups, is embarking on a project to build a philosophy for philosophers not ¬ fos. This way of doing philosophy is, in his view, two complementary sides: on the one hand, appears as a aesthetics of existence focused on providing tools and strategies so that those who approach her to think about their own life in terms of a work art, that is, in terms of personal construction, real, sublime and worthy of himself, on the other hand, we are pre ¬ sented as a war machine directed against the different modes of domination to which individuals are constantly exposed in society, whether at the level of dogma or common sense. Of Alexander's philosophy has, in short, an eminently practical and therefore exercised thinking philosophically is necessarily political.
I therefore consider it essential that the philosophy is linked with other disciplines such as art, psychoanalysis, political science, history or film, to think beyond their borders, and, moreover, also open to popular culture to reconnect with the fertile soil of concrete existence from which all forms of thought emerge. Hence, Alejandro León Cannock define himself with a philosopher or a philosopher urban pop.
