Mark's writing is great - super clear and always helpful. His essay "Untrue Concepts in Hegel's Logic" in the JHP is excellent. Hope this builds on that work.

Absolutely begging for healthier uses of Black political history!
new episode out today! we talk about Brandon Terry's case for a tragic vision of the Black Civil Rights Movement, in search of a realist political orientation that avoids romantic optimism and ironic pessimism. the struggle continues!

Very happy to announce that "Mapping Malfeasance" is now forthcoming with @IndianaLJ!
I argue that partisan intent is sufficient to invalidate an election map under under any state's constitution.
@SSRN: dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.6204…
I've posted my new paper, "Mapping Malfeasance," on SSRN. I survey all fifty state constitutions to develop a general standard for distinguishing legal from illegal maps. Comments and criticisms are very welcome.

New episode just dropped on The General Strike and Socialism! We discuss Sorel’s 1908 ‘Reflections on Violence’, in which he argues that the ‘mythic’ general strike is the true core of socialist thought and praxis. Check it! open.spotify.com/episode/2oz…

I learned a lot about the proletariat’s specific élan vital! I also learned that my love of reason was holding back the socialist triumph…alas

Love the start to this new series for our podcast!
This episode is really so beautiful. Especially in light of the past few weeks in Minnesota. We reflect on King’s meaning of love, political praxis and spirituality, and what it means to take seriously King as both a socialist *and* religious actor. Hope y’all enjoy it!

Really cool. I look forward to reading them.
Very proud to have been the editor for these two book reviews of William Paris' Race, Time, and Utopia for Puncta Journal. They're critical essays in their own right and very much worth reading on their own!

I was invited to contribute to the “Why Philosophy?” Substack. In it, I talk about what philosophy is, how I was introduced to it, how I practice it, a philosophical issue important to me, and philosophical pods I like. Many thanks to @cc_leboeuf 🤗

Highly consider supporting Crane's translation efforts. Extremely important work; if you know you really know. $5/month and you'll help us all read and think less wrongly in the wrong life: jamescrane.substack.com/p/a-…
