Editing Henry Flynt (section)

==Philosophy==
Flynt's philosophical writing attempts to sketch out a [[post-capitalist]], post-scientific civilization which would be at odds with the current civilization's values.<ref>{{cite web |title=Serpentine Cinema: Henry Flynt and Owen Land |url=https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/serpentine-cinema-henry-flynt-and-owen-land/ |website=Serpentine Galleries |access-date=18 January 2021}}</ref> Flynt's early philosophical writings on logic and epistemology, including the 1961 draft of ''Philosophy Proper'', was published in [[Milan]] in the book ''Blueprint for a Higher Civilization'' (1975). Deriving broadly from his early arguments around "cognitive nihilism" and positivism, Flynt's work aims to overturn the dogmatic [[scientism]] and apparent coherence of contemporary scientific and mathematical discourse.<ref name="stewarthomesociety.org"/>

In the early 1970s, he returned to college to study [[communist economics]].<ref name="stewarthomesociety.org">{{cite web |last1=Home |first1=Stewart |title=Stewart Home Interviews Henry Flynt |url=https://www.stewarthomesociety.org/interviews/flynt.htm |website=Stewart Home Society |access-date=5 August 2020}}</ref> In the late 1970s, he organized several meetings on the "crisis in physics" in an attempt to identify the areas where modern science represses incoherent or irrational logics in order to propagate its "objective" worldview. From about 1980, Flynt has written on philosophy and [[economics]] in mostly unpublished papers,<ref name="wire"/> focusing on two concepts which did not achieve the notoriety of the early actions: his concepts of meta-technology<ref>[http://www.henryflynt.org/meta_tech/lessonsinmeta-t.html Henry Flynt, "Lessons in Meta-Technology"]</ref> and personhood theory.<ref>[http://www.henryflynt.org/person_world/pertheorysketch.html Henry Flynt, "Personhood Theory: A Sketch"]</ref> These concepts continue his work in sketching a worldview which would supersede scientific objectification and dissolve contemporary determinations of [[objective reality]].<ref name="manipulating">{{cite web |last1=Flynt |first1=Henry |title=Manipulating the Determination of Reality: A Treatise on Meta-Technology |url=http://www.vasulka.org/archive/Artists2/Flint/ManipulatingReality.pdf |website=Vasulka |access-date=26 February 2021}}</ref> Much of his writing is now available on his website.
