Admin History: The recording is of the 9th lecture in the series entitled 'The Neighbour', given by Mark Cousins as part of the AA Open Lecture series, 2009-2010. In this lecture Cousins explores the biblical direction to 'love thy neighbour' in terms of notions of physical proximity and sequence. Cousins attends to the discourse of modern atheism and the idea of queueing and listing; exploring the former in respect to housing, architecture and urbanism in modernity. To conclude the lecture, Cousins elaborates on Freud's questioning of the logic of unconditional affection to fellow human beings and Nietzsche's genealogy of morals regarding domination of the weak, with the example of religion.
