CULTURE, COMMUNITY AND THE MULTICULTURAL INDIVIDUAL Liberalism and the Challenge of Multiculturality by DIMITRIOS (JIM) MOLOS A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Philosophy in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada December, 2012 Copyright © Dimitrios (Jim) Molos, 2012 ABSTRACT Every theory of liberal multiculturalism is premised on some account of the nature of culture, cultural difference and social reality, or what I call “the conditions of multi- culturality”. In this dissertation, I offer a revised account of the conditions and challenge of multiculturality. Beginning with the widely accepted idea that individuals depend on both culture and community as social preconditions for choice, freedom and autonomy, and informing this idea with collectivist and individualist lessons from Tyler Burge’s famous externalist thought-experiment, my analysis shows that social contexts are multi- cultural when they are characterized by a plurality of social communities offering distinct sets of cultural norms, and individuals are multicultural to the extent that they are capable of using cultural norms from various social communities. The depth, pervasiveness, and complexity of multiculturality raises important normative questions about fair and just terms for protecting and promoting social communities under conditions of internal and external cultural contestation, and these questions are not only restricted to cases involv- ing internal minorities. As a theory of cultural justice, liberal multiculturalism must respond to the challenge of multiculturality generated by cultural difference per se, but it cannot do so adequately in all cases armed with only the traditional tools of toleration, freedom of association and exit, fundamental rights and freedoms, and internal political autonomy. -

Deleuze's Theory of Sensation: Overcoming the Kantian Duality
3 Deleuze's Theory of Sensation: Overcoming the Kantian Duality Daniel W Smith Aesthetics since Kant has been haunted by a seemingly irretractable dualism. On the one hand. aesthetics designates the theory of sensib ility as the form of possible experience; on the other hand, it desig nates the theory of art as a rdl ection on real experience. The first is the objective element of sensation. which is conditioned by the a priori Conns of space and time (the 'T ranscendental Aesthetic ' aCthe en"rique of Pure Reason); the second is the subjective element of sensation, which is expressed in the feeling of pleasure and pain (the 'Critiqu e of Aesthetic Judgment' in the Critique of Judgment) , Gilles Deleuze ar gues that these two aspects of the theory of sensation (aesthetics) can � reunited only at the pric e of a radic al recasting of the transcenden tal project as form!Jlated by Kant, pushing it in the direction of what Schelling once called a 'superior empiricism': it is only when the conditions of experience in general become the genetic conditions of experience that they can be reunited with the structures of works real of an. In this case, the principles of sensation would at the same time Constitute the principles of composition of the work of art, and conver sely it would be the structure of the work of that reveals these conditions. I In what follows, I would like to examinean the means by �'hich Deleuze anempts to overcome this duality in aesthetics. follow this single thread through the network of his thought, even if in tramgcin g this line we sacrifice a cenain amount of detail in favor of a nain perspicuity. -
Russell and Philip Jourdain a Study of Their Relationship
Russell and Philip Jourdain a study of their relationship One of the frustrations of Russellian scholarship is that there is often no trace among his papers of the letters he wrote Defore 1952 to his many correspondents. One of the most important missions of the Bertrand Russell Archives is to find as many of these letters as possible; for whenever some are found, new insights and detail s emerge. Without denying the central importance of the papers purchased from Russell in 1968, the most exciting development may be the growth of its section of recent acquisitions from 'other sources. A collection of letters of this type which is of unique importance is the surviving correspondence between Russell and the mathematician and historian of mathematics Philip Jourdain (1879-1919}. Jourdain suffered throughout his life from FriedriCh's ataxia, a crippling palsey which made writing extremely difficult for him. l Nevertheless he successfully pursued a career in research and scholarship. Indeed, all his brothers and sisters were remarkable in one way or another. For example, his eldest sister Eleanor was Vice-Principal of st. Hugh's College, Oxford (and Russell knew her quite we].l in the years when he lived in the city), and in 1911 she and her Principal Annie Moberley caused a sensation when they published pseudonymously a book claiming that in 1901 they had seen Marie Antoinette and members of her court during a visit to Versailles. 2 Philip had strong views, especially in favour of foundational studies in mathematics and against the church, and later in his life he shared with Russell strong pacifist inclinations. -

Effects of the Agrégation De Philosophie on Twentieth- Century French Philosophy
Effects of the Agrégation de Philosophie on Twentieth- Century French Philosophy AL A N D . S C HRI ft much attention has been paid to developments in French philosophy over the past half century, and it has been frequently noted that the recent history of French philosophy differs significantly from its counterparts in England, Germany, and the United States. While many reasons for these differences have been suggested, in what follows I would like to suggest that there is an important and unique French institution—one with no equivalent in the English-speaking or German academic systems—that has had a significant impact on developments in French philosophy throughout the twentieth century. This institution is the Agrégation de Philosophie, and its effects are virtually unknown among philosophers outside France. Even within France—while knowledge of and experience with the agréga- tion is part of the intellectual formation and career of virtually every academic educated in France, including every philosopher teaching in a university and the majority of philosophers teaching the classe de philosophie in French lycées—French philosophers themselves seem relatively unaware and uninterested in the history of the agrégation and the effects that this history has had on philosophical practices in France. What I hope to do in the following pages is explain how the agréga- tion de philosophie works, and suggest that its impact on the education of French philosophy students and the teaching corps in both the university and lycée helps explain a number of developments in French philosophy over the past century. I will also explain why the French philosophical tradition differs from its American counterpart in some very significant ways. -

In order to emphasize this “close relationship between pure Mathematics and theoretical Philosophy”, he described the intrusion of Abel’s and Galois’ general methods into the theory of algebraic equations. They would supersede genetic methods at work in Lagrange’s works and allow a “glimpse” of the new idea of structure. By transferring his analysis to philosophy, he brought out some connections, sometimes surprising, between mathematical and philosophical methods, for instance between Lagrange’s and Fichte’s methods. He then concluded by a long study of Mathesis Universalis in which he presented and compared Klein’s and Lie’s mathematical theories with Husserlian phenomenology. -
Deleuze, Maïmon, and the Post-Kantian Reading of Leibniz Daniel W
6 Genesis and Difference: Deleuze, Maïmon, and the Post-Kantian Reading of Leibniz Daniel W. Smith Introduction: Deleuze, Maïmon, Leibniz Deleuze’s appropriation of Leibniz’s philosophy is undertaken from a resolutely post-Kantian viewpoint. On this score, it would be difficult to overemphasize the influence on Deleuze of Salomon Maïmon, one of the earliest critics of Kant’s critical philosophy. Maïmon’s Essay on Transcendental Philosophy was published in 1790, one year before the publi- cation of Kant’s Critique of Judgment. It was Maïmon’s critiques of Kant that largely determined the subsequent direction of post-Kantian philosophy, at least with regard to the issues that would come to preoccupy Deleuze’s early work. The two primary substantive exigencies laid down by Maïmon in his critique of Kant reappear like leitmotifs in almost every one of Deleuze’s books up through 1969, even if Maïmon’s name is not always explicitly mentioned: the search for the genetic elements of real experience (and not merely the conditions of possible experience), and the positing of a principle of difference as the fulfillment of this condition (whereas identity is the condition of the possible, difference is the condition of the real). One might say that these two exigencies of Maïmon’s thought are the two components of Deleuze’s own ‘transcendental empiricism’.1 In this article, I would like to examine the way in which Deleuze’s early interpretation of Leibniz was determined by his reading of Maïmon’s critique of Kant. Deleuze considered Maïmon to be ‘a great, great philosopher’, (CGD 13 March 1978), and his own understanding of Maïmon was indebted to the well-known French interpretations of Martial Gueroult and Jules Vuillemin.2 In general terms, Maïmon’s influence on Deleuze can be traced to at least two factors. -
