The Fenris Wolf Podcast, Episode 12
3w ago00:19:56Tap to summarizeIn the 12th episode of the Fenris Wolf podcast, Carl Abrahamsson explores the significance of tangible magical experiences and the interplay between the material world and the unseen. He critiques two extreme viewpoints: world-deniers, who see the physical realm as an illusion, and thoroughgoing materialists, who reduce all experiences to mere sensory data. Abrahamsson argues that both perspectives miss the richness of human experience. He emphasizes that the senses are not just tools for data collection; they are gateways to deeper understanding and connection with the world. By truly engaging with our senses, we can appreciate the vividness of life without clinging to it or dismissing its significance. The magical path involves recognizing both the material and the mysterious, where the body serves as an instrument of contact. Ultimately, he advocates for a balanced approach that acknowledges the reality of the world while remaining open to its inherent strangeness, suggesting that a truly magical life embraces both dimensions.

He’s here to talk about his new book False Negatives: Tilted Takes on a World in Flux. https://www.l2upublishing.co.uk/falsenegatives Rendering Unconscious episode 392. On this episode, Christos discusses the origins and themes of his new book False Negatives: Tilted Takes on a World in Flux, a collection of philosophical essays examining truth, evidence, and meaning in the post-truth age. The book, a series of vignettes written as part of an experiment on Open Democracy, navigates the shifting boundaries of politics, science, history, art, and human understanding. Christos delves into the complexities of truth, narratives, and identity; the impact of COVID-19 on personal and professional life; and the role of choice and interpretation in art. He also touches upon the philosophical implications of psychoanalysis and challenges of navigating uncertainty in a rapidly changing world. In an era when “alternative facts” shape public discourse and technology reshapes what we believe to be true, Christos invites us to reconsider how we know what we know. Through vivid examples—from DeepFake videos and AI-generated art to Freud’s dreams and Gödel’s theorem—he explores the fragile relationship between truth and interpretation, reason and belief, evidence and experience. Christos Tombras is a London-based Lacanian psychoanalyst, lecturer, and writer. His work bridges psychoanalysis, philosophy, and contemporary culture. He is known for illuminating the intersections of science, art, and subjectivity in a language both precise and humane. https://www.listeningtoyou.co.uk His books include Discourse Ontology: Body and the Construction of a World from Heidegger through Lacan (2019). https://amzn.to/48W8r8H Check out this previous episode: RU60: CHRISTOS TOMBRAS ON PSYCHOANALYSIS, PHILOSOPHY & THE BODY – FREUD, LACAN, HEIDEGGER RU News & Events: Friday, May 1st: LIVE RU Podcast event with Lara Sheehi on May Day for her new book From the Clinic to the Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures (Pluto Press, 2026).
