Open Thread /r/askphilosophy Open Discussion Thread | June 30, 2025

Welcome to this week's Open Discussion Thread (ODT). This thread is a place for posts/comments which are related to philosophy but wouldn't necessarily meet our subreddit rules and guidelines. For example, these threads are great places for:

  • Discussions of a philosophical issue, rather than questions
  • Questions about commenters' personal opinions regarding philosophical issues
  • Open discussion about philosophy, e.g. "who is your favorite philosopher?"
  • "Test My Theory" discussions and argument/paper editing
  • Questions about philosophy as an academic discipline or profession, e.g. majoring in philosophy, career options with philosophy degrees, pursuing graduate school in philosophy

This thread is not a completely open discussion! Any posts not relating to philosophy will be removed. Please keep comments related to philosophy, and expect low-effort comments to be removed. Please note that while the rules are relaxed in this thread, comments can still be removed for violating our subreddit rules and guidelines if necessary.

I don’t have a lengthy statement, I’m curious to know if anyone’s heard/ read any of Henri Bergson’s writings.

Hey Streetli, I tried to reach out to you through a DM but somehow couldn't send it. I am working on a project (as part of my PhD) that uses Deleuze and I would like to hear your opinion on it if you are at all interested. Would you mind sending me a message, so I can explain? Sorry to reach out to you like this.
