Matt Bower - Husserl At The Limits

Matt Bower - Husserl At The Limits

Author: Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour September 10, 2024 Duration: 1:29:13
The week Coop and Taylor are joined by Matt Bower to discuss a few sections from Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s Husserl at the limits of Phenomenology as well as Husserl's The Origin of Geometry. Matt is currently Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Texas State University. Matt completed his doctoral work at University of Memphis (2013) and earned by bachelors' degree, also in philosophy, from Beloit College (2007). His area of specialization is post-Kantian European philosophy, especially as it bears on topics in philosophy of mind and perception. He’s published several articles about Husserl's genetic phenomenology, some attempting to explain Husserl's method and theoretical ambitions in doing genetic phenomenology and others examining its relation to developmental psychology and as a way to understand the embededness of intersubjectivity in perceptual experience. He’s also published articles exploring the phenomenology of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas.

There's a certain kind of conversation that happens when the formalities fade and ideas are allowed to collide freely, often aided by a shared drink. That's the atmosphere cultivated in Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour. This podcast operates from a simple, potent premise: we are all desiring machines, complex systems shaped by culture, technology, and unconscious drives. Each episode is an exploration from that starting point, a meandering yet focused dialogue that digs into the strange intersections of daily life and deeper philosophical currents. You'll hear discussions that might begin with a current event or a piece of art and spiral into considerations of psychology, social structures, and the invisible forces that choreograph our wants and actions. It’s less a lecture and more a participatory eavesdropping on a conversation that is both intellectually rigorous and casually human. The hosts, embodying the show's own title, approach topics without a rigid agenda, allowing the discourse to find its own organic rhythm and conclusions. For anyone curious about the undercurrents of society and the self, this podcast offers a unique, engaging space to reflect on the machinery of our collective existence. Tune in for thoughtful, unstructured, and genuinely connective audio.
