The Integral Stage | What Does It Mean to Say There is No Evolutionary Relationship? @theintegralstage8140 | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Art imitates theory in this recording, where the conversation is marked throughout by cleavages, gaps, and disruptive excesses. But if you can persist through the technical challenges, you will be rewarded by this enriching follow-up discussion between Layman and Cadell, where they explore Lacan's aphoristic declaration, "There is no sexual relationship (il n'y a pas de rapport sexuel)," in evolutionary, developmental, political, and spiritual practice contexts. What is the role of non-relation in the structure of Being, and the evolution of beings? How do Lacan's insights into the constitutive gap between masculine and feminine relate to tantric practice, or to McGilchrist's notion of the relationship between the two sides of the brain? In movements of totalization, what is the "obscene excess," and how does that relate to development? Join Layman and Cadell as they dance around many fissures, crevasses, and yawning black holes to explore these questions and more.
Cadell Last is a philosopher (Ph.D.) with an interest in anthropology and psychoanalysis, and the author of Global Brain Singularity, and Sex, Masculinity, God.
