Why Rationalism Fails: Excess, Variation, and Ontogenesis as First Philosophy (with Timothy Jackson)

What happens when the very logic we rely on to understand the world becomes the barrier to understanding it? In this episode, Timothy Jackson joins us to rethink rationalism through the lenses of Darwin, Simondon, Deleuze, and Bataille, challenging inherited frameworks across science and metaphysics. We explore variation, excess, and ontogenesis as the forces that precede and destabilize every closed system of explanation.  To explore more of Timothy’s work, visit his Google Scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?... .
