What we are rolling out in 2025 is a series of courses and ongoing seminars. Base subscribers at TU get access to the most essential of all that. The three tiers of membership grant certain very special privileges, most of which are not on the menu but you'll find out about. What IS on the menu though, for 2025, is a course on The Philosophy of Nature by Nina Power, 12 Essential Political Theorists with Benjamin Studebaker, The Fault-Line Theory with Michael Downs, and what I, the author of this copy, founder of this org, and main labor force for everything (production, socials, business, research, teaching, I'm a busy guy, guys) am coming out with a special series of Public seminars and Private seminars, as well as special introductory and deep dive courses. Never mind wading through the last two years of content. I'm here to be your tour guide through the most essential problems, concepts, and questions at Theory Underground. We're going to be talking about the method we've been developing between dialectics, phenomenology, and socioanalysis, in dialogue with Marxism, psychoanalysis, and French fried German theory (the fun pomo shit).

This is lecture 1 in my series on Totality and Infinity. One of the most beautiful, challenging, and profound works of philosophy, Totality and Infinity is a fundamental challenge to the history philosophy, history, and political thought. He is especially worth tarrying with if you are interested in Marx, Heidegger, or Derrida, much less influenced by Zizek or Land. David McKerracher has been studying Levinas for a long time and is far from an expert, but he has refined his ability to talk about this challenging work in a way that is more accessible and simultaneously in depth than anything else you will find on the internet. To unlock tons of deep dives with Dave into phenomenology and existentialism, especially with Being and Time and Totality and Infinity, become a subscriber at tier 2 or higher here: https://theoryunderground.com/product/tu-subscription-tiersYou can also watch it on YouTube here: This is a public episode.
