The Face of the Other: Levinas and the Ethics of Infinite Responsibility
Levinas puts responsibility to the Other before ontology. You'll work through the face, infinity, and substitution and ask whether ethics can come first.
Start this path →Dark Ecology: Living Inside the Mesh
Timothy Morton’s mind-bending view: in the era of hyperobjects (climate, plastics), “Nature” is gone — only strange, intimate, uncanny entanglement remains. No escape, just eerie coexistence.
Start this path →AI Ethics Beyond the West: Ubuntu, Confucianism, and Indigenous Frameworks
Ifá balance, Buddhist discernment, ayni reciprocity, and kinship: non-Western frames for AI. You'll see how relational and cosmological ethics challenge rights-based and utilitarian defaults.
Start this path →AI Is a Hyperobject
Morton's dark ecology meets AI: we're inside something viscous and nonlocal. You'll work through hyperobjects and longtermism and ask how to coexist with the uncanny.

Start this path →The Productive Disappearing Act: Philosophy of Solitude

Start this path →How to Be Unmoved Without Being Unfeeling: The Stoic Path
Walk with Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca through the Stoic philosophy of resilience, virtue, and inner peace. Learn practical Stoic techniques that remain relevant today.
Start this path →When Did the Earth Stop Being Alive?
Before the scientific revolution, the earth was often imagined as a living mother. Then it became a machine to be mastered. Trace that shift with Merchant and Shiva — and ask why the same dualisms that subordinated women licensed the exploitation of nature.
Start this path →Who Are You When You're Part Machine?
Where do you end and the world begin? From Haraway's cyborg to Braidotti's vital materialism and Black feminist posthumanism, explore ethics for hybrid bodies, entangled species, and a world that's already more-than-human.
