Jean Vioulac is one of the great contemporary French thinkers. His work attempts an ontology of the present through a focus on technology, the Anthropocenic predicament, a critique of mathematization, and an emphasis on the need for an an-archeology of history premised on a genealogy of (broken) hegemonic principles. This workshop will discuss his philosophical project and benefit from his presence among us. It will include an open conversation with the audience. The workshops is free and open to the public.
