  • In Mimetic Theory
    Doubles, Narcissists, Victims, and Philosophers: Truth and “After Truth” in Mimetic Theory Scott Cowdell Many factors contribute to today’s “after truth” situation. Regarding Brexit, for instance, when populist nationalistic myth trumped entrenched economic rationalism, one commentator points to non-serious Tory media tarts like Boris Johnson overshadowing more serious policy contributors from the political left.1 And, from this side of the ditch, Kurt Anderson addresses a cultural history of programmatic American self-delusion in his bestseller Fantasyland.2 He points to America’s early-modern origins in dreams of non- existent Eldorado and projects of religious extremism, to its subsequent tastes for hucksterism and fundamentalism, to its widespread preference for the pleasure principle over the reality principle and, notably, to the key contribution of today’s culturally relativistic left-wing intellectuals whom he considers to be “useful idiots”. All this adds up to what Anderson calls America’s “fantasy industrial complex”. And, wherever you look, social media is supplanting traditional curated media, privatizing the commons and edging out the truth. It creates disconnected echo chambers of invincible ignorance rather than the global unity that Mark Zuckerberg used to say he believed in. The English political theologian Adrian Pabst describes the ideal politician in this brave new world as ideas-free, preferring targeted messaging based on computer algorithms over debate.3 Part of the problem is surely just how human beings are. The Nobel Prize-winning Israeli experimental psychologist, Daniel Kahneman, has shown that many real-life decisions are approached non-rationally. We are prone to biases and unreliable heuristics, we resist thinking carefully and taking stock, and we are not good natural statisticians when assessing financial risks.

What is more, he also develops those ideas further than anyone else I can think of, adding his own insights as he goes along. The result is a coherent and compelling defense of second-orderism.

  • Richard Colledge Between Ultra-Essentialism and Post
    Between Ultra-Essentialism and Post-Essentialism: Kierkegaard as Transitional and Contemporary Richard Colledge Søren Kierkegaard is an extraordinary figure in the history of philosophy. If one is prepared to use the broadest of brushstrokes, there is much to be said for seeing him as standing on the threshold of, and crucially contributing to, the transition between modern and contemporary European philosophy. In this contributory role of mediating between epochs of thought, it is fitting that he shares much in common with his predecessor and fellow herald of the transcendent God of Christianity—Augustine—in the latter’s standing astride the ancient and the medieval, and in likewise providing key elements for a momentous shift in the dominant philo-theological framework. Yet Kierkegaard is also something of an enigma; he is much too multi-dimensional in his concerns and subtle in his distinctions to be easily summed up in catch-phrases such as “the father of existentialism,” as justified as such ascriptions may be. Like Augustine, Kierkegaard’s influence in a range of purportedly distinct ‘disciplines’ is extensive, for like the former, he saw no difficulties in—indeed he saw an imperative for —addressing philosophy, theology and psychology together.1 In this way, Kierkegaard’s influence on twentieth century thought has been immense, from his impact on Jaspers, the early Heidegger, Sartre and the ‘existentialist’ movement generally; to his inspiration of Barth and Tillich and other seminal thinkers in Protestant theology; to his (largely indirect) influence on psychodynamic theory and practice developed by theorists such as May, Fromm and Becker; to the continuing influence of his work on contemporary post-secular and quasi-religious deconstructionist thought.

    PARRHESIA WWW.PARRHESIAJOURNAL.ORG ISSUE 11 2011 PARRHESIA NUMBER 11 • 2011 • 1-34 THE WORK AND THE IDEA Miguel de Beistegui Editorial Note. The text presented here is the first chapter of an upcoming book by the author. The editorial board would like to thank Professor de Beistegui for allowing us to publish it here; our thanks also go to Robert Sinnerbrink for facilitating its publication. INTRODUCTION This book attempts to show that it is through the recognition of what I call the hypersensible, and the work of metaphor, that art comes into its own, and is able to twist free of metaphysical aesthetics, rooted in the ontology of identity and governed by the laws of imitation. By “hypersensible” I mean a dimension that escapes the classical distinction and the space that stretches between the sensible and the supersensible, matter and form, or the image and the original. In a nutshell, the hypersensible designates the excess of the sensible within the sensible, and the genuine matter of art. As such, it escapes any straightforward materialism, as well as any form of idealism, or spiritualism. It could be characterised as hyletics. For reasons that I will clarify later on, I prefer to refer to it as an aesthetics of metaphor, or a metaphoric. Why metaphor? Simply because, twisting free of its own, deeply entrenched metaphysical interpretation, metaphor can be seen as the image or trope, applicable to art in general, which reveals the excess of the sensible in the sensible, or the way in which any given image is virtually more than it actually is.

  • Social Media and the Existential Task of Existence
    SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE EXISTENTIAL TASK OF EXISTENCE A Report of a Senior Study By Branden Hunt Philosophy Maryville College Fall, 2013 Date Approved _______________, by ______________________________ Faculty Supervisor Date Approved _______________, by ______________________________ Division Chair ABSTRACT Modern technology continues to barrel ahead at breakneck speeds engulfing our lives in ever greater degrees. It is little wonder that the question of what technology holds in store for us is increasing in its significance. Focusing on one particular dimension of technology that has proved especially volatile and ubiquitous this thesis endeavors to ask what is going on at the meeting of social media and humanity. In an effort to ascertain a more critical ground from which to ask such a question, this project begins with a survey of two thinkers who devoted much due attention to the matter of human being: Soren Kierkegaard and Martin Heidegger. Both carved great and diverse inroads into the strangely proximal yet so often unasked question: what is it to be human? By drawing on and synthesizing significant aspects of their expositions, necessary pre-questions are asked to prepare the lingering question: what is going on with human being in a socially mediated world? The relatively brief conclusions given in response are an exercise in answering that question, revealing a fundamental altercation brought about in the mediation of human being through social media. That transformation is found to take place in technological enframent of human communication. iii Table of Contents Chapter I The Task of Existence 4 Chapter II On Being and Human Being 25 Chapter III Social Media and the Task of Human Being 81 Bibliography 123 iv AN INTRODUCTION It is difficult to decide where to begin this introduction.

  • JOSEPH DE MAISTRE and ITALY Marco Ravera It Is Very Likely That Joseph De Maistre Would Not Have Been Very Much Interested in Th
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Research Information System University of Turin JOSEPH DE MAISTRE AND ITALY Marco Ravera It is very likely that Joseph de Maistre would not have been very much interested in the subject of the reception of his own thought in Italy.1 He did not consider himself Italian—and, in spite of his being Francophone, he did not consider himself French either—but only and exclusively Savoyard (or rather, in the last phase of his life, Savoyard and European at the same time, but certainly not Italian). His eyes and his attention were always drawn to France; and the early impulses for the national unity of Italy that happened a few years aft er the Restoration—a legacy of that Napoleonic epos which he abhorred so much—left him perplexed and astonished, rather than disturbed and troubled. It is true that, given that he died at the end of February 1821, he could not witness (or, we might say, he was spared the sight of) the early risings for unity. However, his opinion in this respect is con- densed, through refl ections enriched by that sarcastic irony which dis- tinguishes several of his writings, in some famous claims included in the letter to the marquis d’Azeglio2 of 21 February 1821—that is, three days before his death—where, with ill-concealed scepticism, he won- ders whether and to what extent one can call himself ‘Italian’. Aft er hav- ing thanked his correspondent for having sent to him a basketful of fruit, the nearly expiring lion still shows his claws and, taking his cue from some considerations on Piedmont and Italy made by d’Azeglio in the letter that accompanied the gift , added long refl ections on this sub- ject.

  • Sacrifice, Self-Formation and Self-Overcoming in Nietzsche Venessa Ercole
    parrhesia 28 · 2017 · 156-175 sacrifice, self-formation and self-overcoming in nietzsche venessa ercole Nietzsche’s emphasis on self-overcoming and self-mastery in the higher type and the figure of the overman are usually associated with aristocracy, rank and the sacrifice of others in the pursuit of personal excellence. Indeed, Nietzsche’s dis- cussion of the “lower types,” “slave morality” and “master morality” lends itself to an elitist misreading. However, Nietzsche’s opposition to democracy and equality stems from his endorsement of differentiation and particularly his concern with life-affirmation and life-denial. That is to say, Nietzsche’s seeming regard for the “higher type” comes from its status, for Nietzsche, as more life-affirming than the herd. However, contrary to popular readings, Nietzsche’s aim is not for a world of noble masters who obtain their rank at the expense of the lower types. Ulti- mately, as a close reading of Thus Spoke Zarathustra reveals, even the higher type must be sacrificed in pursuit of Nietzsche’s ultimate goal, of saying yes to life. The question which then arises is this: what role does self-sacrifice play in Nietzsche’s thoughts on the self in formation—in becoming what one is? Sacrifice has not yet been satisfactorily discussed in the expansive commentary on Nietzsche’s philosophy. The majority of what has been said on Nietzsche’s views of sacrifice paint Nietzsche in an elitist light. It is no wonder, given Ni- etzsche’s aphoristic style, that he has been interpreted in such a way. However, these readings fail to see how Nietzsche’s views of sacrifice are intrinsically tied to his notion of self-overcoming, forming an important component of his vision of the Dionysian man.

  • Confession, Embodiment and Ethics in the Poetry of Antjie Krog and Joan Metelerkamp
    Confession, Embodiment and Ethics in the Poetry of Antjie Krog and Joan Metelerkamp by CHRISTINE LOUISE WEYER Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Meg Samuelson March 2013 Stellenbosch Univeristy http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis/dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch Univeristy http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This thesis examines the work of two contemporary South African poets, Antjie Krog and Joan Metelerkamp. Through an analytical-discursive engagement with their work, it explores the relationship between confession and embodiment, drawing attention to the ethical potential located at the confluence of these theories and modes. The theory informing this thesis is drawn from three broad fields: that of feminism, embodiment studies and ethical philosophy. More specifically, foundational insights will come from the work of Simone de Beauvoir, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Levinas. While much of the theory used originates from Western Europe and North America, this will be mediated by sensitivity towards Krog and Metelerkamp’s South African location, as is fitting for a study focused on embodied confession and the ethical treatment of the other.
