If you classify western philosophers by what they led with, I think it is: Epistemology-first: Spinoza, Descartes, Hume, Kant Ontology-first: Hegel, Marx, Heidegger Phenomenology-first: Nietzche, Husserl, Arendt Treating these as stocks I think E is down, O is up, P is up a lot

Your thinking seems closest to Deleuze, tho...pic.twitter.com/ITh9JxmVXj

You might get a lot out of Graham Harman's object-oriented philosophy & Quentin Meillassoux's anti-correlationism (there is a real world out there that we can know thru science/math). Kinda blows up the tired analytic/continental divide.

From Harman or QM? How about Latour? Can be an infuriating writer but there's a lot going on with actor-network theory.

I like Latour better, but again, as in most cases of relations to existing work, I find the effort of accessing it is almost never worth it, and reinventing wheels for myself is both more productive and more fun. Luxury of non-academic life is ignoring intellectual neighbors

I've made my peace with the fact that readers who are better read and informed than I am around my own writings will likely want to juxtapose and connect and critique in specific traditions, but that's their homework if they want it.

Naturally this means there are people who dismiss me out of hand because something I said, when seen in the context of what they think they know from some tradition I'm unaware of, completely invalidates, undermines, supersedes what I said. That's blogosphere risk.
