Acid Horizon
Emerging from affinities with post-structuralism, abolitionism, biopolitics, communism, critical metaphysics, critical mysticism, and ontological anarchy, Acid Horizon is a philosophy and theory podcast committed to thought in motion and political struggle. While these are our grounding currents, each episode opens out onto a wider constellation: ethics, politics, phenomenology, decolonial thought, queer theory, post-psychoanalysis, disability/crip theory, anarchism, Marxism, feminism, and analyses of the emergence of the new right.
Comprised of a decentralized collective of friends and comrades, Acid Horizon cultivates a terrain of militant inquiry. From readings that span 20th-century French communism to new perspectives on German idealism, the collective has also undertaken forays into aesthetic experimentation, philosophical heresy, and the history of revolt. We seek the concepts and intensities that gesture toward new forms of life.
Acid Horizon pushes theory beyond the academy through live engagements, collaborative reading groups, and collective interventions.

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.
