“Contradiction Resolves Itself” – An Analysis of the Arguments in the Chapter “The Essentialities or the Determinations of Reflection” in Hegel’s Doctrine of Essence
It is well known that Hegel departs from tradition in his treatment of contradiction in a way that is scandalous to some. This book explores the question of what Hegel means by contradiction and how it can be made useful for philosophy. For this purpose, the context of Hegel's analysis of contradiction is subjected to a close analysis - the essentialities, namely identity, difference, diversity, and opposition. The contradiction that arises in the analysis of contradiction is resolved, thus opening up a groundbreaking method for a philosophy that proceeds systematically. Bekannt ist, dass Hegel in seiner Behandlung des Widerspruchs in einer für manche skandalösen Art von der Tradition abwe...
Écriture du pouvoir, pouvoir de l'écriture
Marguerite Yourcenar détestait les étiquettes politiques. Non pas qu'elle n'ait jamais exprimé d'opinions politiques, au contraire: elles foisonnent dans la fiction, les essais, la correspondance et les entretiens, et sont d'ailleurs contradictoires. Alternance plutôt troublante pour qui la lit. Anticonsumériste, altermondialiste, écologiste, pacifiste, contestataire, anarchisante, antifasciste... mais soupçonnée d'antisémitisme, antidémocratique par moments, antiféministe, et parlant du bon peuple en bonne aristocrate. Quelle mosaïque de ces -ismes que Yourcenar disait pourtant détester ! Les vingt-six contributions de ce volume ont relevé le défi d'y voir plus clair dans la vision de la réalité politique et sociale que manifeste l'œuvre de Marguerite Yourcenar, et dans sa relation parfois ambiguë au pouvoir. L'articulation du savoir et du pouvoir, la position du marginal, la perspective historique, l'ambiguïté du discours et celle du personnage, la figure même du monarque ou de l'homme d'État prennent à l'analyse des résonances étonnamment actuelles et témoignent de la complexité et de la puissance de l'imaginaire yourcenarien.
Hegel and Scepticism
“Hegel and scepticism” remains an intriguing topic directly concerning the logical and methodological core of Hegel’s system. A series of contributions is unfolding around a keynote paper by Klaus Vieweg, which tries to understand and restate the limits and the content of the relationship between Hegels philosophy and scepticism. Various Hegel readers with different concerns are dealing with Hegel’s strategy in a large range of theoretical areas.
Voices of Wisdom
First published in 1992 this anthology quickly became the standard for multicultural introductions to philosophy. Composed of a group of culturally diverse readings addressing a selection of seminal philosophical questions in ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics, VOICES OF WISDOM introduces students to the traditional terrain of philosophy as developed in the European tradition, yet in a manner that embraces significant philosophical insights borne out of different cultural legacies.
Beyond Blood and Coercion
This dissertation investigates and criticizes two common assumptions about violence in contemporary political theory and philosophy: that violence is mute and that it is instrumental. Through close readings of the works of Niccolò Machiavelli, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels, I argue that political violence has a semiotic character, that it involves the production of signs and meanings. These signs and meanings are not peripheral but central to the operations of political violence, because the political effectiveness of violence is partially determined by its representation. Practices of representation regulate how political violence is received and understood by an audience, which is why p...
Humanitarian intervention in the long nineteenth century
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. This book is a comprehensive presentation of humanitarian intervention in theory and practice during the course of the nineteenth century. Through four case studies, it sheds new light on the international law debate and the political theory on intervention, linking them to ongoing issues, and paying particular attention to the lesser known Russian dimension. The book begins by tracing the genealogy of the idea of humanitarian intervention to the Renaissance, evaluating the Eurocentric gaze of the civilisation-barbarity dichotomy, and elucidates the international legal arguments of both a...
The Techne of Giving
Over the last five years, corporations and individuals have given more money, more often, to charitable organizations than ever before. What could possibly be the downside to inhabiting a golden age of gift-giving? That question lies at the heart of Timothy Campbell’s account of contemporary giving and its social forms. In a milieu where gift-giving dominates, nearly everything given and received becomes the subject of a calculus—gifts from God, from benefactors, from those who have. Is there another way to conceive of generosity? What would giving and receiving without gifts look like? A lucid and imaginative intervention in both European philosophy and film theory, The Techne of Giving...
Time in Marx
This book demonstrates that the basic concepts of the three volumes of Capital come under different categories of time: "time of production" in the first volume is linear, “time of circulation” in the second is circular, while in the third volume “organic time” is the unity of the two. Capitalist relations emerge as a definite organisation of social time that obeys its own intrinsic criteria and operates as an autonomous, social subject. Reading Capital from this perspective, it becomes possible to restore its dialectical (Hegelian) logic – not in order to reveal the “real” Marx, but as a means to contribute to the understanding of the real, capitalist world with its present-day fetishes, its explosive contradictions and its ever deeper crises.
Autour de Hegel
Restituer toute la vitalite speculative de l'idealisme allemand, si indispensable a l'actualite de la philosophie, et dans cet esprit, faire a Hegel, en France, toute la place qui lui revient: telle est la tache a laquelle Bernard Bourgeois s'est magistralement consacre, par ses traductions et ses commentaires. La necessite de rendre hommage a son oeuvre se concretise donc, dans ce recueil, en tournant Autour de Hegel. Que Hegel soit aborde en personne; qu'on le cotoie au plus pres de son centre, en traitant de Rousseau, Kant, Jacobi, Fichte ou Schelling, ou sur des trajectoires paralleles, en evoquant Comte ou Kierkegaard; qu'on fasse surgir, en allant a sa rensontre, Socrate ou Aristote, et a l'autre extreme, Max Weber, Freud, Pierce, James ou Gadamer, c'est bien l'universel du logos qui entre chaque fois en scene avec la singularite hegelienne, cela meme que Bernard Bourgeois a toujours voulu faire entendre.
