  • Contrapaganda
    G. V. Loewen
    Philosophy, Cultural Criticism'For the whole of modernity thus far, we have relied upon art to counter the ’false consciousness.’ But with the advent of information as the general lingua franca of politics, economics, and the technical and applied sciences, we require a different response; one that does not seek to overcome through transcendence, as did art, but rather seeks th...

  • A Social Marginalia
    G.V. Loewen
    Philosophy, Social ScienceFrom the book’s introduction:'What is arrests my attention, commands it, but does not possess it for overlong. I too am a moving target, for others and even for the world in its own anonymous concern. I am a being completed only in mine ownmost death, and whence I am presented with its more radical otherness I find that it is, in itself, something valu...

  • What if Questioned I
    G.V. Loewen
    What does it mean to be a self, and a self which lives? At first, we would seek to alter the 'which' into a 'who,' giving us the sense not only of agency but also of individuality and even perhaps that of purpose. Who is the self who lives? But a distinction must be immediately made; that between self and selfhood. For if we share life with other creatures grand and minuscule, ...

  • Got Action
    G.V. Loewen
    'Stand down, drop your weapon!' Make me, almighty officer of the peace. And what peace is that which abuses children in the name of discipline, sends poor people off to martyr themselves for an elite nation state, defends policy that allows the rich to get richer and the poor onlyf urther poverty, and stockpiles technology-speaking of weapons-that can destroy all life on earth?...

  • The Work of Warning
    G.V. Loewen
    Philosophy, Cultural Criticism 'In dreaming desire, there are no real consequences. In order to make such fantasies real, we must disarm and thence dismiss no less than history along with biography. The perpetrators dream awake. This is how they can commit the impassioned acts of horror upon the others who now appear to them as mere projections, in their way or submissive, it...

  • Her Ownmost Lives
    G.V. Loewen
    'Amy was in tears now, shaking and distraught. Anne’s adorable little head had popped over the side of the pit in dismay, doing its best impression of one of those baroque cherubs except with the weight of an equally baroque fate upon it. Kent’s brows were in the ionosphere and me, well. For a minute, for longer, I thought I had completely lost it, for the body we had just un...

  • Only Love Is Real
    G.V. Loewen
    Only love is real. A noble sentiment. But what, exactly, are its implications? Does it mean that all else is unreal, as in fake? As in fraudulent, as in a lie? Or unreal as in truly intolerable, unlivable, tragic, horrifying? Or is it only surreal, the world a simulacrum of feeling, sentimental and cloying? Or could it be hyper-real, like parents loving their children too muc...

  • Investigations, Insights, Indictments
    G.V. Loewen / Gregory Loewen
    Cultural Criticism, Philosophy'The loss of wider purpose in our cosmology is no technical deficit. Though we loathe nostalgia of all kinds, and history does not run backwards, nevertheless we feel a deeper absence, even to the point of the encounter with the ’abyss of meaning.’ Gazing into it, however, we find after all that it cuts both ways; there is an absence of ultimate or...

  • The Misplaced Love of the Dead
    G.V. Loewen
    Philosophy/Ethics The ’sacrifice of the intellect’ is today mostly either a convenience or a contrivance. The marketeer assuages the consumer by her own feigned idiocy, the parish pirate invites the listless into his own fraudulent faith. It is exceedingly rare, in my estimation, to discover an authentically latter-day saint. But the ignominious fate of faith in our own time ...

  • A Pedagogy for the Suppressed

    Education, Philosophy This is a book very much of the moment. It presents a third way of teaching ethics for a modern world rife with the forces of suppression. Critiquing both neo-conservative and 'neo-liberal' fashions, it puts forward in their place a pedagogy inspired by art and based on interpretation theory, dialogue, and dialectic. A Pedagogy for the Suppressed encompa...

  • The Scandal of Thought
    G.V. Loewen
    Philosophy/Criticism 'Any institution that centers itself by reproduction is immediately suspect. Criticism, if directed at the unpolished edges of an organization, edges which either sabotage or yet defeat the institution’s ability to reproduce itself, can certainly be found in abundance. But critique, authentic and reflexive, that which calls into question not merely the go...

  • Reimagining the Future
    G.V. Loewen
    'A book like this should not exist. Its topic does not exist, nor does its experience. Yet it is too quick, possessed too much of the now to simply iterate the banality of speculation. Futurology is not futurity, and though it is true by definition that the object of the first remains unknown in the present, the experience of the second is, in fact, what we are. For our being i...

  • Represencing the Present
    G.V. Loewen
    'And when we do perceive the wholeness of the present in its very presence - this is not at all to suggest that we regularly do so; all we have to do is consider when the last time was that we felt we had truly understood everything that could be known about this or that aspect of our existence or the world at large - we ourselves are enlarged, for a corresponding moment, in ou...

  • Reintroducing the Past
    G.V. Loewen
    'We have established what our general expectations of ’the past’ are to be, given that it is our creation and thus it ’owes’ something or other to us. It is at first motivated by resentment, tends toward reification, and divulges reconciliation. It has the character of a ’space,’ it is something more ’moral’ than we, and is also possessed of the variety of other traits, includi...

  • The Truer Trinity
    G.V. Loewen
    'This was the truer source of Evelyn’s tears, that she couldn’t communicate with the dead. Been there, done that, she thought of human history. And wouldn’t you know it, contact, a second sun, a new world for humanity to live upon, none of that stopped history. Maybe time, for a moment, was stopped. The destruction of god and the devil both, the vanquishing of Seryxim, the loss...

    Do not love the dead. Do not hate the living. For life and world are one thing, and you are both, present in the second but the fullest presence of the first. Now the jaguar stood up and swaggered her tail back and forth. 'Some of you might imagine that my speaking with you is a miraculous thing, or the work of an occult force. It is neither. It’s simply our new friend’s techno...

Which then left the dark-haired mortal enemy of all that was evil in the world. Evie, the avenging angel, the fullest-blooded princess of the night; fearless, p...

    'The back-stage people must be so used to not only seeing beauty but also constructing it that they never seemed to even glance at Kristen and the other models. But with Michelle it was different. With her, one didn’t see beauty, but rather felt oneself in the presence of the Beautiful itself. The truth of beauty. For a long while, in human consciousness, beauty, truth and th...

    'Does it matter? You can read the message we’re sending out.' Kristen was now suddenly bored. Tired out. Killing was not really her thing. She didn’t enjoy it, like Evie, and she didn’t remain unaffected by it, like her sister. She wasn’t much good at it technically either, like Mike. It didn’t give her something to hang her hat on, like it had for Kylie for a while. And shamef...

  • Words are also Deeds - Essays in Public Ethics and Private Aesthetics
    G.V. Loewen / G.VLoewen
    Cultural Criticism In the two dozen essays written over a nine-month span, from 2020 to 2021, G.V. Loewen attempts to cast the darkest denizens of our own dubious days into the less lurid chiaroscuro of cultural critique. The sense throughout that saying is also doing and that words thus carry a greater gravity than is often given them, should be kept in mind. For us, if the wo...

  • The Penumbra of Personhood
    G.V. Loewen / G.VLoewen
    The drive to overcome nature is a projection of the anxiety about succumbing to our own nature. Inevitably, this conflict creates a vicious circle. For in subduing nature to our technical goals – themselves arranged so that our human frailty is to be overcome – we end up destroying the world in which we must live.Of late, we have begun to recognize this viciousness, both in our...

  • Blind Spots
    G.V. Loewen / G.VLoewen
    We ask of both ourselves and of our traditions, how does anxiety work? Why does it assail us in this or that place, but never in all places all at once? It is at once the Nothing of the existentialists, but it is more than that. Since it seems all too easy to be more than nothing, we need to immediately note that a capital “N” in Nothing is quite something after all. It is the ...
