My interest in Schelling intersects with broader theoretical aspects concerning nature and the paradigmatic shift to post-ecological thinking in critical theory, psychoanalysis, and contemporary phenomenology - overall, with nomadic thought as a point-attractor of the indifference of Nature. My dissertation 'Schelling and the Commitments of Nature' broadly explores this tautegorical relation between Nature and nomadic thinking, i.e., a relation distinctive of the scandal of Nature and the hyperstitional anomaly of freedom in a mutual indifference that seeps into the texture of creation.
Presently I am connected to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Letters of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. I once served as a research director of the now-defunct Institute for Cultural Studies, and former Chair of the Department of Philosophy and Humanities (of the same University) before I went on leave (in 2017). I also serve on the Board of Directors as a board member of the Philosophical Association of the Philippines and a lifetime (founding) director of the Phillippine Association for the Sociology of Religion.
I’m a Ph.D. holder in Philosophy (Pontifical University of Santo Tomas, Graduate School)
This goes out a to faraway friend, in Tanzania. The story was set in Cebu and Bohol. I missed spending Holy Week for entirely different reason. In Bantayan Island, there's a place where contrary to Christian tradition in observing Good Friday people eat pork.

In the West, Germany is officially transitioning into posthuman protocols. The stipulations for so-called re-entry into society are now ripe for speculative materialism of a new conception of being and nature. In the East, China has already won the ‘generic filtering’ of a new postpandemic subject, ie, the subject that appears to be the first … Continue reading Germany will issue coronavirus antibody certificates to allow quarantined to re-enter society
Notwithstanding there is now a greater window of opportunity to begin a global process of reversing the acceleration of climate change, even as humanity is forced to cut back on carbon emissions brought about by the pandemic, thereby providing a paradoxical model to unburden the atmosphere and the ecosystem of carbon imprints that cause rapid … Continue reading There’s a lot worse to come
Again, do not forget, there’s also stationary flight pace rhizomes of the world. Kafka had invented a weapon against the condition when ‘movement in space’ becomes useless, anticipating a global pandemic: “Flight is challenged when it is useless movement in space, a movement of false liberty; but in contrast, flight is affirmed when it is … Continue reading The schizo difference
Apropos our latest post on the difference and complementary relation between Negarestani’s ‘hegemonic pointer’ and Ian H. Grant’s ‘speculative attractor’, the following is Schelling’s handwritten note on his second Naturphilosophie (First Outline of a System of the Philosophy of Nature), concerning illness and disease: “The concept of poison only has a meaning for the organic … Continue reading Viral assimilation vs quarantine
In the months ahead, assuming this virus dried out, the next social media phenomenon is going to be the most desocialized one. This is not to say that the thing called ‘social’ in the era of internet and mobile phones isn’t desocialized yet, but rather, it will become the new norm in much intensified form, … Continue reading The Generic Filter, Badiou and the Chinese ‘selfie’ model: The Covid-19 Event matrix
