  • 52 Philosophy in a Dark Time: Martin Heidegger and the Third Reich
    52 Philosophy in a Dark Time: Martin Heidegger and the Third Reich TIMOTHY O’HAGAN Like Oscar Wilde I can resist everything except temptation. So when I re- ceived Anne Meylan’s tempting invitation to contribute to this Festschrift for Pascal Engel I accepted without hesitation, before I had time to think whether I had anything for the occasion. Finally I suggested to Anne the text of a pub- lic lecture which I delivered in 2008 and which I had shown to Pascal, who responded to it with his customary enthusiasm and barrage of papers of his own on similar topics. But when I re-read it, I realized that it had been written for the general public rather than the professional philosophers who would be likely to read this collection of essays. So what was I to do with it? I’ve decided to present it in two parts. In Part One I reproduce the original lecture, unchanged except for a few minor corrections. In Part Two I engage with a tiny fraction of the vast secondary literature which has built up over the years and which shows no sign of abating. 1. Part One: The 2008 Lecture Curtain-Raiser Let us start with two dates, 1927 and 1933. In 1927 Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf (volume II) was published. So too was Martin Heidegger’s magnum opus Being and Time. In 1933 two appointments were made: Hitler as Chancellor of the German Reich and Heidegger as Rector of Freiburg University. In 1927 it was a case of sheer coincidence; in 1933 the two events were closely linked.

  • AUC Interpretationes 1 2015 4473.Indd
    2015/1 ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE PAG. 13–36 Interpretationes Studia Philosophica Europeanea YES, WE CAN1 WALTER MIGNOLO Abstract At the end of 2012 at Al Jazeera, Santiago Zabala published a text about Zizek and the role of the philosopher nowadays. This publication motivated a critical response from the Iranian philosopher Hamid Dabashi, followed by Walter Mignolo ’ s intervention. Both responses emphasized the pending task of decolonizing knowledge. Returning to the axes of that exchange, H. Dabashi wrote the recently published book Can non-Europeans think? The article presented below is the foreword of the book, written by Walter Mignolo: “Yes, we can”. La Europa que consideró que su destino, el destino de sus hombres, era hacer de su humanismo el arquetipo a alcanzar por todo ente que se le pudiese asemejar; esta Europa, lo mismo la cristiana que la moderna, al trascender los linderos de su geografía y tropezar con otros entes que parecían ser hombres, exigió a éstos que justificasen su supuesta humanidad. Leopoldo Zea, La filosofía americana como filosofía sin más (1969) 1 Tiré de Dabashi Hamid, Can Non-Europeans Think?, London, Zed Books, 2015. 13 Ali Shari ’ ati, “Mission of a Free Thinker” (1970–71) I take this opportunity to continue the conversation started in Al Jazeera a while ago, prompted by Santiago Zabala ’ s essays on Slavoj Žižek, followed by Hamid Dabashi ’ s essay titled “Can Non-Europeans Think?”, reprinted in this vol- ume. Dabashi picked up in the first paragraph of Zabala ’ s essays on Žižek an un- conscious dismissal that has run through the history of the coloniality of power in its epistemic and ontological spheres: the self-assumed Eurocentrism (the world seen, described and mapped from European perspectives and interests).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Duquesne Studies in Phenomenology by an authorized editor of Duquesne Scholarship Collection. H ERMENEUTIC R ESPONSIBILITY VATTIMO, GADAMER, AND THE IMPETUS OF INTERPRETIVE ENGAGEMENT THEODORE GEORGE Texas A&M University Few fields of study have drawn more attention to questions of responsibility—moral, social, and political—than contemporary Continental philosophy. In recent writings, Gianni Vattimo has returned to focus on his radical, even revolutionary hermeneutical considerations of responsibility.1 Within this context, his Gifford Lectures and related essays (published as Of Reality: The Purposes of Philosophy) address questions of hermeneutic responsibility elicited by the renewed philosophical interest in realism in our times. For Vattimo, as we shall see, it is our hermeneutical responsibility to resist, even to engage in interpretive conflict against, what he will describe as the “temptation of realism.” Both within the discipline of philosophy and in larger spheres of society and politics, realism is often lauded not only as, say, a metaphysical position but, moreover, as an ideal or even as an attitude.2 ‘Realism’ often stands for belief in the progress of knowledge through research in the sciences, suspicion of intellectual sophistication that obscures the facts, and, accordingly, trust in sound common sense.

  • Review Essay Art and Exceptionalism: a Critique Arne De Boever
    Review Essay Art and Exceptionalism: A Critique Arne De Boever 1. To Have Done with the Exception? In Why Only Art Can Save Us, philosopher Santiago Zabala takes on the contemporary talk about emergencies and states of emergencies. He argues, contrary to what one might expect, that in spite of all this emer- gency talk—in spite of the fact that today, emergencies appear to be every- where—today’s real emergency is the absence of emergency. We are cur- rently living in a state of “accomplished realism” (2) in which the emergency Book Reviewed: Santiago Zabala, Why Only Art Can Save Us: Aesthetics and the Absence of Emergency (New York: Columbia University Press, 2017).

  • Towards a Critical Hermeneutics of Populism
    Critical Hermeneutics, special (2019) Articolo presentato il 25/5/2019 Biannual International Journal of Philosophy Articolo accettato il 27/5/2019 http://ojs.unica.it/index.php/ecch/index Articolo pubblicato il 1/6/2019 ISSN 2533-1825 (on line); DOI 10.13125/CH/3711 Towards a Critical Hermeneutics of Populism Gonçalo Marcelo Abstract This paper aims to define and set the goals of what it calls a ‘Critical Hermeneutics of Populism’. Starting with the diagnosis of the ascent of rightwing populism being directly tied with the democratic legitimation deficit and the social problems caused by neoliberal policies, it assesses populist phenomena through the lens of hermeneutics. It argues that populism is not an entirely irrational phenomenon and that in spite of some common features of its intrinsic logic, substantive differences ex- ist between left (or progressive) political proposals and their rightwing, exclusionary counterparts. The paper claims that only an assessment of the discourses, values, and practices put forward by each political proposal that can be dubbed ‘populist’ will reveal its perils and prom- ises, and help distinguish which types of populism are lethal to liberal democracy, and which can actually help to deepen it. Finally, it argues that given the interpretative and potentially transformative features of Hermeneutics, a Critical Hermeneutics of populism might be the ap- proach providing us with the best tools to operate such distinctions. Keywords: Critical Theory, democracy, hermeneutics, populism 1. Introduction There is hardly a more urgent matter for social and political theory today than tackling the newfound force of populism. My aim in this paper is to lay the ground for what could be called a critical hermeneu- tics of the various, widespread phenomena of populism.

  • Appeal Signed by 50 European Intellectuals, July 2018
    Appeal signed by 50 European intellectuals, July 2018 Published in French Newspaper Liberation Reconciliation in the Balkans: A Call to Support the Prespes Agreement The historic Agreement of June 17 2018 signed in the Prespes lakes between Greece and the (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) brings to an end an international dispute which had been festering for the last 25 years. It defines the political, historical and cultural boundaries between classical Greek Macedonia and as of now, North Macedonia, by making it clear that the Macedonian identity can be shared between people who endow it with different meanings. It respects the dignity and the right to self-determination of the two peoples and confirms the desire of both countries for peaceful coexistence. To achieve this, each side has had to address the concerns of the other side. North Macedonia obtained the recognition of the existence of a Macedonian language as part of the Slavic family of languages (a fact long recognized by the UN and Greece) the designation of the nationality as Macedonian/Citizens of North Macedonia, and crucially, the promise of starting accession negotiations to NATO and the EU in the very near future.
