Acid Horizon

by 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.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Listening to Acid Horizon is like attending the graduate program in philosophy I never got to attend. The three enviously powerful young minds of Adam, Will and Craig (Craig perhaps a little less young but quite youthful and spry) cut radiants from a core of poststructuralist theory into the many folds of thinking, feeling, and living, always with an urgent ethical dimension and flight towards a yet-to-be mapped possibility and freedom. There some great podcasts out there, but this by far is my favorite.

Node Dancer · May 2024

I’ve listened to this great podcast for about a year now. I love all the various guests. The hosts of the show are lively and ask wonderful questions. This is a must listen if you’re looking to challenge your perspective and grow in knowledge!

Quique Autrey · Sep 2023

I listened to all the philosophy and “left” podcasts out there and this one is the best for these reasons: -Ontological humility -They make it about the topic and the guests not about showing off their hipster takes -They have good voices -Good design

gerech · May 2023

These folks have an inspiring platform and disrupt the status quo wherever they turn their attention. They have taught me much from their YT and Patreon content. I will continue to be looking to their material as ethos for learning Deleuzian and related content. Also Craig’s voice sounds like a golden stringed harp. Check these creators out!
