Joel Anselm Dietz and Edwin Klint Bywater submitted a response article to Anna K. Winters’s “Hegelian e-girl manifesto” in ŠUM #22 Angel Mode. We invited them to Šum Pod to unpack their reply, clarify the core ideas behind the metaphysical Männerbund—literally “bonded men,” often interpreted as a “band of brothers”—and discuss what corrections or updates they propose to the project. We’ll also ask how the metaphysical Männerbund can provide both a means for survival (for projects like the Hegelian e-girl manifesto) and the foundational principles of a new order—philosophy as a lived and embodied social phenomenon.
