Attentive Realism: The Mirror That Thinks

For those drawn to consciousness, relation, care, and the moral weight of attention.

How does reality hold itself together? This episode introduces Attentive Realism, a philosophical framework arguing that existence endures not through stability or force, but through the quiet, continuous act of attention.

Where many traditions treat consciousness as a private interior state, Attentive Realism proposes something different: that attention is the universe sustaining coherence through care. Drawing from Baruch Spinoza, Karen Barad, Day Cart, Michel Foucault, Édouard Glissant, Mark Fisher, and Franco Berardi, this episode explores how attention shapes being, truth, and care.

Rather than treating thought as a pursuit of mastery, we follow a gentler proposition: that thinking is the maintenance of relation, the act of keeping the world from falling apart.
