Peter Lamborn Wilson

Peter Lamborn Wilson ( * 1945 in New York City ), better known under the pseudonym Hakim Bey, is an English writer, subcultural artist, philosopher and anarchist selbstproklamierter ONTOLOGIST. The name Hakim (Arabic حاكم ) means doctor, judge, or scholar. Bey is the Turkish word for lord or prince, and was a traditional title of Turkish and Persian tribal leaders.

Life

Hakim Bey wrote books and numerous essays on art and culture- critical issues, anarchist models of society and Islamic mysticism. By The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade ( WBAI -FM, New York City ), he was also known as radio makers. Bey sees himself in the tradition of Islamic mystics and heretics ( Sufis, Assassins ) and sympathetic to the historic libertarian movements such as the solidarity Tong- secret societies in China and the piracy. On extended trips, he sought meetings with mystics throughout the Islamic world, from Morocco to Java - two years in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and seven years in Iran ( where he edited Sophia Perennis, the Journal of the Royal Iranian Academy of Philosophy ). Together with Iranian scholar, he worked on studies of Sufism and Ismailism and numerous translations of Persian poetry. In addition, he is with Robert Anton Wilson editor of Semiotext ( e).

His now legendary in the anarchist subculture reputation is based on his broadsheets of Ontological Anarchism, in which he also reveals a penchant for the occult and of course on his concept of the Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ ). The idea of ​​a temporary, so only briefly existing zone in which the rules of society and power relations are overridden or intentionally disregarded, is inspired by the Situationists. The French utopian Charles Fourier seems to have also strongly influenced him. In particular, the texts on the Temporary Autonomous Zone also found outside of the English -speaking world attention, they attacked but on motives of communication guerrilla, as they also show remote relationship to the philosophy of Michel Foucault. Bey suggested by practical acts of so designated by him poetic terrorism to attack, for example, mainstream media or publicly known persons or to irritate. Another important term in his writings is the totality that describes the constantly escalating access the capitalist media, capital and goods company on all aspects of human life. Beys solutions and anarchist models lie somewhere between primitive communist communal forms of "primitive " tribes and futuristic utopias of a post-capitalist information society (see his essay Primitive and Extropians ).
