Ich war noch keine zwölf Jahre alt, als ich 1976 das erste Mal von diesem «Neuen Ding» aus England hörte: Punk Rock! Etwas ganz neues, rotziges, revolutionäres. Eine musikalische und verbale Revolution gegen das Establishment! Ein Faustschlag, mitten ins Gesicht vom dahinsterbenden Love Song-Gedudel! Ich war sofort fasziniert oder besser gesagt: infiziert! Es fing an mit den Sex Pistols und The Damned – doch als ich Jean Jaques Burnels Bassgitarre bei «Good bye Toulouse» von den Stranglers...

Uncompromising Humanism is the kind of idealism that begins with knowledge, the defining quality of humankind. Only that which has ist basis in reality is viable—the idea of the world endorsed by the world. Proceeding from a priori intuitions to hyperstases, the Concept of Uncompromising Humanism inevitably results in the following: individual happiness need not fail any more than bold dreams, provided that human beings are enabled, know what there is to be known, and set their sights beyond the...

This textbook provides an engrossing overview of contemporary debates in the philosophy of psychology, exploring the ways in which the interaction and collaboration between psychologists and philosophers contribute to a better...

Working from the Bible to contemporary art, Shibboleth surveys the linguistic performances behind the politics of border crossings and the policing of identities. In the Book of Judges, the Gileadites use the word shibboleth to target and kill members of a closely related tribe, the Ephraimites, who cannot pronounce the initial shin phoneme. In modern European languages, shibboleth has come to mean a hard-to-falsify sign that winnows identities and establishes and confirms borders. It...

World Literature for the Wretched of the Earth recovers a genealogy of anticolonial thought that advocated collective inexpertise, unknowing, and unrecognizability. Early-twentieth-century anticolonial thinkers endeavored to imagine a world emancipated from colonial rule, but it was a world they knew they would likely not live to see. Written in exile, in abjection, or in the face of death, anticolonial thought could not afford to base its politics on the hope of eventual success, mastery, or...

Twenty-first-century philosophy has been drawn into a false opposition between speculation and critique. Nathan Brown shows that the key to overcoming this antinomy is a re-engagement with the relation between rationalism and empiricism. If Kant’s transcendental philosophy attempted to displace the opposing priorities of those orientations, any speculative critique of Kant will have to re-open and consider anew the conflict and complementarity of reason and experience. Rationalist Empiricism ...

This book deconstructs the whole lineage of political philosophy, showing the ways democracy abuts and regularly undermines the sovereignist tradition across a range of texts from the Iliad to contemporary philosophy. Politics is an object of perennial difficulty for philosophy—as recalcitrant to philosophical mastery as is philosophy’s traditional adversary, poetry. That difficulty makes it an attractive topic for any deconstructive approach to the tradition from which we inherit our language...

Crowning six decades of literary, rhetorical, and historical scholarship, Harry Berger, Jr., offers readers another trenchant reading. Berger subverts the usual interpretations of Plato’s kalos kagathos , showing Socrates to be trapped in a double ventriloquism, tethered to his interlocutors’ speech acts even as they are tethered to his. Plato’s Republic and Protagoras both reserve a small but significant place for a poet who differs from Homer and Hesiod: the lyric poet Simonides of Ceos....

Featuring scholars at the forefront of contemporary political theology and the study of German Idealism, Nothing Absolute explores the intersection of these two flourishing fields. Against traditional approaches that view German Idealism as a secularizing movement, this volume revisits it as the first fundamentally philosophical articulation of the political-theological problematic in the aftermath of the Enlightenment and the advent of secularity. Nothing Absolute reclaims German Idealism as...

Five hundred years before “Jabberwocky” and Tender Buttons , writers were already preoccupied with the question of nonsense. But even as the prevalence in medieval texts of gibberish, babble, birdsong, and allusions to bare voice has come into view in recent years, an impression persists that these phenomena are exceptions that prove the rule of the period’s theologically motivated commitment to the kernel of meaning over and against the shell of the mere letter.This book shows that, to the...

Radical Hospitality addresses a timely and challenging subject for contemporary philosophy: the ethical responsibility of opening borders, psychic and physical, to the stranger. Kearney and Fitzpatrick show how radical hospitality happens by opening oneself in narrative exchange to someone or something other than ourselves—by crossing borders, whether literal or figurative. Against the fears, dogmas, and demands for certainty and security that push us toward hostility, we also desire to wager...

I dag opfatter mange mennesker sig som religiose, uden at de dermed nodvendigvis tilslutter sig den kristendom, der i Vesten igennem to artusinder har vAeret den dominerende religion. Bogen rejser ikke mindst sporgsmalet om, hvorvidt oplysningen, sekulariseringen og demokratiseringen, der satte ind for et par arhundreder siden, virkelig har distanceret os fra arven fra den kristne religion, eller om sekulariseringen snarere ma ses som en konsekvens af kristendommen selv.Hvis man onsker et...

Ikke, hvis man sporger modoplysningen, som denne bog beskriver: Oplysningsfilosofien perverterer det, der gor livet stabilt og sandt, den forvandler mennesket til noget monstrost, friheden til trAeldom og terror – og fornuften til ufornuft.Modoplysningen er bade en radikal form for oplysningskritik og navnet pa en historisk periode, der strAekker sig over artierne for, under og efter den franske revolution....
