Ben Woodard is a highly accomplished contemporary philosopher and cultural theorist who works to devise conceptions of reality beyond and productive of the human. In this episode of the Zer0 Books Archive, Adam from Acid Horizon and Kenny speak with Ben Woodard about his 2012 book Slime Dynamics: Generation, Mutation, and the Creep of Life. This book explores what Woodard terms dark vitalism and the sliminess of life, which challenge the thesis that life is inherently positive. Woodard’s philosophy is also guided by his naturalistic reading of Schelling and his attempts to creatively escape anthropocentrism's metaphysical and ethical limits.
