Craig and Adam are joined by Jay Conway for a deep dive into Gilles Deleuze’s essay "Plato and the Simulacrum", a pivotal text for understanding Deleuze’s project of reversing Platonism. The conversation explores The Logic of Sense through themes of simulacra, Stoicism, the event, and the powers of the false, while tracing Deleuze’s engagements with Plato, Nietzsche, and Bergson. Along the way, Jay reflects on pedagogy, philosophical formation, and what it means to affirm philosophy at moments when its value can no longer be taken for granted. This episode also marks the launch of Acid Horizon’s upcoming Logic of Sense reading group, inviting listeners to study Deleuze collectively in the year ahead.
