Levi interviewed

Paul Ennis is on an interviewing tear, and has now posted his interchange with Levi Bryant. (I’m increasingly sad not to have met Levi in Chicago in the late 1990’s during our couple of years of urban overlap.)

My favorite of many good passages:

“I wouldn’t say that philosophers need to be acquainted with developments in the sciences, but rather that philosophy always needs its others in order to think. In my view, philosophical thought always occurs in and through an encounter with the other or non-philosophy. These others can be art, engineering, love, political revolution, harrowing defeat, programming, environmental work, ethnographic field work, or whatever else you might like.”
