okay, it's not precisely an argument anymore.... More like, due to the irreducible & originary transformability -- the plasticity -- of the faculty of transformation itself, it's been changed from the old, standard, boring trope of writing into a new, cutting-edge form of a book cover!
Seriously, the actual "transformation" is that the first edition of Meta's newest book, an extended discussion of his argument for God as the TSED, will now be published under the auspices of our little micropublisher, "efgpublishing" instead of GrandViaduct's. A free pre-release - with the first two chapters featuring Meta's gloss on postmodernism and a version of his "reverse Derrida" argument, aka the deconstruction of deconstruction itself - should be available on our site and other ebook vendor sites within a few days, and we're looking forward to working with Joe on getting the rest of it up in e-formats soon, in fact, asap....
Here's our working e-book cover in comparison to Catherine Malabou's latest.
What do you guys think?
The "Reverse Malabou"Argument
Moderator:Metacrock
The “One” is the space of the “world” of the tick, but also the “pinch” of the lobster, or that rendezvous in person to confirm online pictures (with a new lover or an old God). This is the machinery operative...as “onto-theology."

Looks cool, met! Who designed it? Kudos to whoever it was. Can't wait to look on the inside.met wrote:okay, so, it's not precisely an argument ....

Re: The "Reverse Malabou"Argument
The design was a collab between us here. From an ...um, "originary" squiggle by Betta using a vector-drawing program. (It's been vetted, as much as possible, and tweaked accordingly already, since it seems like the whole trick to e-cover design is to make something that doesn't look horrible anywhere, but also without having to become absolutely, blah-inducingly blase ... ).
Thanks for your kind comment, Jim. We are flattered.
Here's the working blurb(s) to go up on the various websites:

Here's the working blurb(s) to go up on the various websites:
Scholar and theologian, Joseph Hinman continues to develop the notion that belief in God, while not absolutely provable, is rationally warranted in his newest book, this time addressing philosophical and theological problems raised by the intricacies, the complexities and perplexities of language and meaning.
“What Does ‘Meaning’ Mean?”
Joseph Hinman mediates thorny questions of meaning, and demonstrates ways in which the seeming-intangibility of these issues influence contemporary modes of thought. The discussion carried out here ponders the nature of God, the nature of being, analyzes the complex interrelationship between human existence and wider, philosophical concepts of being, and conducts a thorough analysis of the ambivalent, sometimes-tense relationship between science and religion in our times.
(The current, free, pre-release includes Chapters One & Two from the full book, featuring Joe’s thought-provoking argument to “reverse Derrida,” insisting that every reasonable form of thought has an (implicit, but) absolute requirement for a concept of mind –which is to say, it needs a "Transcendental Signifier.")
