Bicoastal Philosophy
New York:
“The experience of being hailed by ‘inanimate’ matter—
by objects beautiful or odd, by a refrain, by a piece of cake,
or a buzz from your phone—is widespread.”

The Subject Par Excellence
The previous entry connected the mad Marxist Althusser with Mount Sinai; this connection is not as whimsical as it may seem.
From Althusser's "Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses" (La Pensée, 1970):
" 'And the Lord spoke to Moses and said to him, "I am that I am".'
God thus defines himself as the Subject par excellence, he who is through himself and for himself ('I am that I am'), and he who interpellates [Althusser’s jargon for “hails”] his subject, the individual subjected to him by his very interpellation, i.e. the individual named Moses."
This is from page 179 of Lenin and Philosophy and Other Essays.
The connection of the Althusser disciple Sprinker with the Trinity in Taking Lucifer Seriously is also not as whimsical as it may seem.
See Althusser's note (p. 180, op. cit.) stating that
"The dogma of the Trinity is precisely the theory of the duplication of the Subject (the Father) into a subject (the Son) and of their mirror-connexion (the Holy Spirit)."
