I wanted to let you know that I put up a translation of Laruelle's essay on Kant and finitude on the blog. I just finished it about an hour ago, and I figured you'd be one of the main people who might get a kick out of it! Let me know what you think. Talk to you soon, Taylor Hey Ross,

Malabou also has a book on Heidegger that I haven't had a chance to read yet, but I have it here somewhere...

By the way, I loved your review of Catherine Malabou's book on Hegel. I've been interested for some time in picking that up. Sure thing, Mikhail.

He has some stuff on manifestos in their, including his own, he's at Emory these days. I'm not sure I'd be able to "help a good deal" but I would certainly be attuned to the similar conversations - my main interest in Russian thought is people like Losev or Averintsev (Аверинцев), do you read Russian fairly well?

I would love to check out your website. This paper is itself exerpted from a larger work I was working on in terms of the literary form of the manifesto as expressed in the poetic movements of the Silver Age (Symbolism, Futurism, Acmeism, Imaginism). It was my hunch that this paralleled the prevalence of the manifesto and pamphlet-treatises which appeared in political movements from around that same time. So I guess what I'm saying is that I've explored the other avant-garde groups of the Silver Age as well, and would be thrilled to see what you have to say about it. Best, Ross Michael,

If you are interested in the Russian Avant-garde by any chance have a look at my web site. I have made 6 films about the Russian Avant-garde, specifically but not exclusively form a philosophical/theoretical stand point. What a superb piece of work on this subject.

All those things you've mentioned are the objects of my interest as well (save Derrida, perhaps, though I'm interested in responding to his positions). I've written a piece on Greek tragedy (well, Schelling's theory of tragedy), and am interested in Russian philosophy. I studied Russian history and language at the Smolnyi Institut (Lenin's famous headquarters) in St. Petersburg in Fall 2006, and must say I am enthralled by Russian culture and history. I just posted a piece (work-in-progress) I wrote on Russian Symbolist criticism at the turn of the century. Is this a period you're familiar with? You could probably help me a good deal with these topics. It's exerpted from a larger paper I am working on regarding the literary form of the manifesto as it pertained to aesthetic movements alongside political movements in the Russian Silver Age. Cool.

Personally, however, it's all over the place, but mainly Derrida, some contemporary Russian philosophy, Greek tragedy and etc etc - this question is sort of like: What's your favorite band? It depends. How about yourself?

I just finished Chapter (Lecture) 14 in that book, on Fichte's 1794-1795 <i>Wissenschaftslehre</i>. I've been reading it alongside the translated texts it discusses. Di Giovanni's and Harris' translations in the (similarly titled) <i>Between Kant and Hegel</i> are excellent sources. Henrich is a genius - truly one of the greats. If I might ask, what are your general philosophical interests? Or more broadly, what are intellectual interests in general? Mikhail,
