Did Aristotle Anticipate the Body Without Organs? Pneuma, Soul, and Formlessness

What if Aristotle had already conceived of something like a body without organs? In this special walking episode of LEPHT HAND, Craig (aka Sereptie of Acid Horizon) and returning guest Jack Bagby descend the old rail line in Lemont, Pennsylvania to excavate Aristotle’s theory of pneuma—the subtle, instrumental body that mediates between soul and flesh. Along the way, they connect Aristotle to thinkers like Deleuze, James Hillman, and Gilbert Simondon, asking whether pneuma offers a lost model of embodied thought, emergent life, and ecological intelligence. The conversation also turns toward dreams, depth psychology, and the urgent need for experimental forms of political and metaphysical imagination.
