Grimdark Dialectics: Hegel and the Philosophy of Warhammer 40K

About this episode

Acid Horizon Events: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/events Acid Horizon Research Commons (Ongoing Course Series): https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-courses Adam is joined by Jon Greenaway AKA The Lit Crit Guy and Leon from The Left Page to unpack the grimdark dialectics of Warhammer 40,000. How do we narrativize dystopia when utopian futures have been crushed by neoliberalism? How does the Horus Heresy help us understand Hegelian ideas about tragedy, religion, and the origins of Empire? Why do reactionaries keep making 'God Emperor Trump' memes? Join us as we traverse the perils of the Warp to philosophise our way through the 41st century.
