In this talk, Niki Young focuses on Alphonso Lingis’ critique of thanatocentric thinking, namely the notion that a proper understanding of life must be framed in relation to death. He argues that Lingis constructs an alternative philosophy of life centred around a threefold system based on the notions of experience, embodiment, and reality. He highlights Lingis’ novel understanding of what it means to be an embodied being in a more-than-human world. Niki Young is a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Malta. His work explores passion, alterity, community, animality, and relationality, particularly through Alphonso Lingis. He has also just completed, with Emily and Jon Cogburn, a manuscript on panpsychism in contemporary analytic and continental thought, and in 2026 co-edited with Philippe Lynes two special issues of Derrida Today on deconstruction in twenty-first-century thought. 00:00 Introduction 03:07 What Is Thanatocentrism? 07:16 Lingis’s Alternative: Experience, Embodiment, Reality 08:09 Lingis Against Heidegger 11:19 Death as the Unknown 12:53 Must Death Be Experienced Through Anxiety? 15:14 Death as a Communal Experience 17:29 Human Death and Animal Perishing 19:50 Finitude Without Thanatocentrism 22:28 Experience Beyond Consciousness 28:24 Sensation and Reality 30:58 Passion, Excess, and the Emergence of the Self 35:41 Embodiment and Symbiosis 36:51 Against Lack: The Body as Excess 41:52 The Reality and Weight of Things 43:54 Imperatives of the World 46:08 Why Lingis? 49:27 Julie Reshe’s Reflection 53:50 Discussion Links: • Niki Young, “Against Thanatocentrism,” Philosophy Today: https://www.pdcnet.org/philtoday/content/philtoday_2026_0999_7_24_622 • Engaging the Contemporary 2026: Experiences of Life and Death, University of Malta, 18–20 November 2026: https://www.um.edu.mt/events/etc2026
