Heidegger's reflections on questioning and on technology are read alongside Günther Anders' reflections on the "antiquatedness" of the human being. In the wake of modern techno-science, what is most "question-worthy" is that we do not question-heightened in an age in which critique has come under attack and citizens are urged to "trust," without questioning, what is called "the science."

Gnosticism, political theory and apocalypse: Jacob Taubes and Günther Anders, Tracy Strong and Carl Schmitt

Philosophy & Social Criticism, 2023

Beginning with Jacob Taubes and Günther Anders on eschatology, apocalypse and political theology,... more Beginning with Jacob Taubes and Günther Anders on eschatology, apocalypse and political theology, including Saint Paul and Frankfurt School critical theory along with bombs and power plants (energy/climate), this essay parallels a re-reading of Tracy B. Strong’s political reading of Nietzsche on Jesus (and love) with Taubes, Anders and Carl Schmitt on politics (and technology). Highlighted throughout is the politically charged (and inherently esoteric) context of Gnosticism for philosophy and theory for Taubes but also for Anders.

Drawing on myth, as de Beauvoir does in The Second Sex, connections can be made with Georges Bataille but also Sarah Kofman and Luce Irigaray.

Death and limitation are part of Nietzsche's own reflections and correspond to what de Beauvoir highlights in terms of «mysteries, orgies, and bacchanals», in addition to so-called «sacred frenzy», and the conjunction of marriage and lightning strikes.

Pseudo-Science and 'Fake' News: 'Inventing' Epidemics and the Police State

Philosophically, a critical orientation may be attempted, but it is challenging to do so, beginning from the traditional question of demarcation, as this also has complexities of its own as a kind of science signaling, flagging what 'science,' so defined, discount. The discounting in question can be near-oblivion, to recall 9 the genetics of algae and witnessed by the scientific fortunes of Franz Moewus (1908–1959). Moewus was so very effectively jettisoned from the literature in his own field as in the history of science overall that even the literature on his jettisoning is limited to just one author (Sapp, 1990). In the era of the current coronavirus health crisis, usually designated as
‘Covid-19,’ today’s most telling linguistic move might be the reference to ‘the science.’ Here, by using the definite article, it is implied not only that there is a ‘received view’ in science, just as Thomas Kuhn would tell us, but more crucially that science is a singular, monolithic affair.

The resultant contributes to a classically articulated 'continental' philosophy of science, featuring both phenomenological analysis and hermeneutic reflection. More than a thoughtful reflection on science, the heart of philosophy -- what it is and what it can be -- is also at stake in such reflections. The author argues that if Nietzsche proposes the resources of art to 'defend' us against truth (as he claims) along with the deadly insights of what he names 'tragic knowledge,' then Nietzsche's more arresting claim is his equation of science and art, quite as Heidegger for his part aligns techne and poiesis. For Nietzsche, science and art draw upon the same creative powers and both science and art are directed to life.

Scholars raise the question of Ariadne in Nietzsche's texts as the name seems to code for another name, assigning various candidates, including Nietzsche himself.

Looking at artistic allegories for age and ageing, raising the question of aura for Walter Benjamin along with Ivan Illich and David Hume, this essay reflects on Heidegger on history together with reflections on the 'death of art' as well as Arakawa and Gins and Bazon Brock, both as artists 'at your service,' as Brock would say, contra death, and including a brief discussion of wabi sabi and kintsugi. The 'ageing' of art includes a review of the (ongoing) debate concerning Michelangelo's forging of the Laocoon as well as ancient views of age together with contemporary philosophic reflections (Simone de Beauvoir and Michel de Certeau). The figure of Baubô in ancient Greek sculpture and cultic context can make it plain, as Nietzsche shows (as Sarah Kofman follows him on this), that laughter and death are connected (along with fertility cults in antiquity). Satire preserves the Greek tradition of laughing at death and the essay closes with Swinburne.

Situando este debate a través de Goethe y Platón, junto con las Lecciones de Estética de Adorno de finales de la década de 1950 y una discusión sobre Nietzsche y la Antigüedad, es posible establecer que lo que está en juego es la afinación, así como una tensión que invita a un debate ulterior tanto sobre la detención del amante en Carson como el demorarse en Heidegger. Al revisar la hermenéutica gadameriana de la programación y la interpretación musical, incluida la improvisación y el desafío de la nueva música, las reflexiones de Gadamer sobre la cultura musical en el contexto de la cultura social y su reflexión no solo pueden ser leídas a través de Platón y Goethe, sino también a partir de las concepciones de "lo bello" en Hölderlin y Rilke. Se trata de una "conversación" cultural en la que la contribución del público puede estar en tensión con la programación musical progresiva, además de la dinámica de respuesta que surge en la energeia de la improvisación tanto para el intérprete como para el oyente.

Das Lied wurde erst später, nach einem bestimmten sog. "Cover" durch ein von Cohen selber initiiertes Arrangement mit John Cale (einem klassisch ausgebildeten Musiker und Mitglied des Velvet Underground) zu einem eher klischeehaften Popsong. Und seitdem hat anscheinend jeder und jede das Lied gecovert: irische Tenöre, schwedische Tenöre, Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright, und, wenigstens zum Teil, Patsy Cline sowie Cole Porter und nicht zuletzt k.d. lang. Die meisten Bücher über Leonard Cohen-auch die, die seinem Hallelujah gewidmet sind -- gehen davon aus, dass dieser anfängliche Status lediglich einem Mangel an Publicity zu verdanken war. Alle scheinen sich darin einig zu sein, dass das, worum es eigentlich geht, weniger der Genius des Sängers ist als vielmehr seine Medienpräsenz. Die Analyse von Popsongs und deren Erfolg macht fast aus jedem einen Kalkulationsexperten für Sendezeiten und Werbeerfolg, selbst die ehrwürdigen Denker der Kritischen Theorie von Günther Anders über Horkheimer bis zu Adorno.

It may be argued that Anders' 1956 Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen never appeared in English owing to his emphasis on the American use of the atomic bomb in 1945. Anders argued that thereby, with bombs but also with nuclear power plants, we ran the risk of annihilating time itself, both the future and the past. This apocalypse is the world we know, absent, as if by magic, all the people, all of us, as if we never were. The vision is strangely reminiscent of the lockdown landscapes we remember from the past few years and it is a vision in accord with a world of reduced carbon and drastically minimized global populations.

Heidegger et ses juifs

Résumé L’actualité des Juifs de Heidegger démontre que la lecture de Heidegger donne des richess... more Résumé
L’actualité des Juifs de Heidegger démontre que la lecture de Heidegger donne des richesses extraordinaires pour la pensée. Même si j’ai des doutes que l’exigence obligatoire de débattre des Cahiers noirs fonctionnerait dans la même manière, cette intervention a eu une seule touche: c’est la centralité de la lecture in lento que nous avons appris de Nietzsche et Heidegger, et que Heidegger, pour devenir Heidegger, a employé dans son travail. C’est ce qui est nécessaire pour lire Heidegger.

Aujourd’hui nous lisons trop rapidement, nous lisons comme des philologues digitalisés (ou peut-être avons-nous besoin d’un terme plus précis) en chasse pour le texte qui révèle la clé de l’antisémitisme de Heidegger. Car si nous commençons, comme nous le faisons en parlant comme Peter Trawny suggère attentivement que nous devons parler de l’histoire mondiale, de l’onto-historique antisémitisme de Heidegger, nous finirons commenous avons commencé avec une connaissance tout court de son antisémitisme. Nous sommes tous, comme Adorno l’a souligné, que Sartre souligne, antisémite, que ce soit d’une façon ou d’une autre. Nous sommes tous, comme Heidegger le souligne dans Être et Temps, déjà coupables, impliqués à l’avance.

Nous savons qui sont ces Juifs de Heidegger, nous les condamnons, Hannah Arendt en première ligne, mais d’autres aussi, quand et si elles ne s’acharnent suffisamment de se distancier de Heidegger et de le dénoncer, ce qui a toujours été, comme disent les Allemands, keine Kunst. Donc, nous avons surtout perdu la manière de lire qui nous permettrait de lire les Cahiers parce que comme je l’ai affirmé nous considérons le contexte de la préoccupation de Heidegger avec la technique et la science comme une distraction (c’est aussi la raison pour laquelle nous ne lisons pas Anders). Nous commençons donc comme nous finissons en lecteurs qui se sont passés du context. Ceci serait une question de technique, d’une lecture au-delà des clichés de «science allemande» comme Pierre Duhem nous l’avait montré et qui aujourd’hui, sans le moindre soupçon pour l’importance que Duhem trouvait dans la « science française» : on sacrifie au dieu de scandale, hélas pour Bachelard et Serres mais aussi hélas pour l’auteur nous oublions parce que nous le lisons pas, Louis Basso. Et mon point ici est que la plupart de vous ne connaitrons pas son nom.

Nous avons à faire avec un silence non seulement sur les noms réputés insignifiants dans l’académie, mais sur les noms des juifs dans le cercle de Heidegger. Hannah Arendt avait raison de se plaindre, comme je l’ai fait valoir , car beaucoup de ses textes avait inclus en code (mais pas si codés qu’on ne peut pas les voir) des références prévues pour les yeux de Heidegger.

Peut-être qu’elle a fait cela dans le seul but de le tester ou pour voir, comme le font des amis qui sont écrivains avec des amis qui sont écrivains dans le même domaine ou qui se chevauchent, de voir si l’on est lu du tout.

Heidegger a échoué à tous les tests d’amour que Hannah Arendt lui a présentés et elle a répondu comme le font les amants, en l’aimant encore, quand même, comme elle a fait valoir dans sa dissertation sur l’amour et Saint Augustin : c’est ce que fait l’amour.
Est-ce que la philosophie aime toujours, si nous savons qu’elle est réduite à des trivialités analytiques (comme elle l’est trop souvent)? Si elle est pratiquée par des universitaires, fonctionnaires qui ont perdu leur amour pour la pensée et pour questionner, ne pensant qu’au bien des emplois qu’ils occupent ou, et cela vaut pour les jeunes plus ce qu’ils s’imaginent, qu’ils envisagent d’occuper ou organiser? Peut-on encore questionner dans le sillage de la technique?

Die Materialität des Kunstwerks, Bronze, Marmor, Farbe, Klang, sowie die Frage nach Nietzsches Artistenmetaphysik werden erörtert. In einem Kernkapitel wird eine neue Lesart von Nietzsches Zarathustra und dessen plastischen Begriff des Erhabenen vorgestellt. Auf Basis von Elementen der klassischen kritischen Theorie werden wiederum Nietzsche und Marx gegeneinander gelesen. Die letzten Kapitel zeigen ein nahezu erotisches Spannungsverhältnis auf zwischen Nietzsche und Georges Batailles “Wille zur Chance” sowie der Erfindung der Frau bei Simone de Beauvoir. Die Überlegungen schließen mit einem esoterischen Blick auf Nietzsches Lehre von der Ewigen Wiederkunft.

Neben seinen Vorlesungen über vorplatonische Philosophie behauptete Nietzsche in seiner „Theorie der quantitirenden Rhythmik“ die Aussprache des Altgriechischen aus dem ‚Geist der Musik' heraus ‚entdeckt‘ zu haben. Dieser Geist spiegelt sich in Nietzsches Auseinandersetzung mit der klassischen Musik wider, insbesondere in der mit Beethoven. Die Beiträge in diesem Buch stammen aus Aufsätzen und Vorträgen zu Nietzsches weniger bekannten Überlegungen zur klassischen Antike zwischen Aufstieg und Dekadenz. Zu den behandelten Themen gehören Lukian und Zarathustra, die Gartenphilosophie von Epikur sowie Wissenschaft und Religion. Über Literaturwissenschaft und Philosophie hinaus, stellt dieses Buch die Kunstgeschichte in den Vordergrund.

Hermeneutic Philosophies of Social Sciences

Hermeneutic Philosophies of Social Sciences, 2017

Hermeneutic philosophies of social science offer an approach to the philosophy of social science ... more Hermeneutic philosophies of social science offer an approach to the philosophy of social science foregrounding the human subject and including attention to history as well as a methodological reflection on the notion of reflection, including the intrusions of distortions and prejudice. Hermeneutic philosophies of social science offer an explicit orientation to and concern with the subject of the human and social sciences.

Hermeneutic philosophies of the social science represented in the present collection of essays draw inspiration from Gadamer’s work as well as from Paul Ricoeur in addition to Michel de Certeau and Michel Foucault among others. Special attention is given to Wilhelm Dilthey in addition to the broader phenomenological traditions of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger as well as the history of philosophy in Plato and Descartes.

The volume is indispensible reading for students and scholars interested in epistemology, philosophy of science, social social studies of knowledge and social studies of technology.

Now in paperback.

Da-Sein's Body: Between Heidegger on Being and Anders on Having

Heidegger Circle Boston University, 2023

Reading between Heidegger's 1927 Being and Time and Anders' 1928 Über das Haben. Sieben Kapitel z... more Reading between Heidegger's 1927 Being and Time and Anders' 1928 Über das Haben. Sieben Kapitel zur Ontologies des Erkenntnis, the current essay undertakes to raise Anders' question of the body, quite specifically as Anders writes in his title chapter, subtitled, (Posse und Possessivum), "Wir haben ein Leib. Wir haben. [We have a body. We have.]" Exploring the erotic in this connection along with other still more ontic afflictions of the body, permits Anders to criticize Heidegger's 'pseudo-concreteness.' A reading of Reiner Schürmann's discussion of Heidegger, the question of the 'who' of Dasein but also the economic, via 'Dasein as proprietor,' allows a discussion, via Anders, of Heidegger on abjection or neediness.

Abstract: How is the philosophy of science to engage with unexplained phenomena of a ‘close encounters’ kind, that is with respect to unidentified aerospace phenomena? Notice that I am not here talking about whether or not philosophers might modify Nagel’s ‘what’s it’s like to be a bat?’ in line with linguistics via Chomsky, although these perspectives are valuable, or Nick Rescher’s “Extraterrestrial Science.” Instead at issue is the concept, key to philosophy of science, of ‘saving the phenomena’ and the politics of science theory and practice in addition to the status of the scientific object and whether or not it might be counted among the items of Eddington style world-furniture or Husserlian ‘things themselves.’ In addition to discussing philosophy’s long standing concern with extraterrestrials, the discounting of UAPs will also be explored as part of the politics of ‘science’.

Once well known, Lucian has become less and less so, arguably consequent to Rudolf Helm's 1906 'comparison' of Lucian and Menippus, decrying Lucian as derivative (absent any comparison of their works as no works of Menippus survive to compare with Lucian). The judgment is repeated by scholars to this day, as is fitting for cliché.

In addition to doubling effects, along with his own grid borrowed from Albrecht Dürer (Fig. 1) and varied, as the artist tells Andrew Cohen in in a 2012 profile of the artist, "because in Chinese culture there is the jiugongge box to make things bigger or smaller." I argue that in addition to this, in addition to his interest in philosophy, Wang Guangyi's work also reflects political theology and I add a reflection on Apelles.
