Maailmantalouden taantuma, poikkeuksel- Slisen korkea työttömyys ja talouspolitiikan virheet eivät antaneet aihetta antautua ”taloudelliselle pessimismille”. Synkistä suhdannenäkymistä huolimatta Keynes katseli kehityksen suuntaa pitkällä aikavälillä: elintaso nousee, talous kasvaa ja hyvinvointi lisääntyy. Talouden taantuma ei estänyt häntä hahmottelemasta yhteiskuntaa, jossa askeleittain vapaudutaan kuormittavan työn ikeestä, ”rahan rakkaudesta” ja taloudellisesta välttämättömyy- destä. Keynes otaksui, että hänen kuvaamansa ’talouden ongelman’ ratkaisuun kuluu kenties vuosisata, kenties kauemmin. Ennen pitkää koittaa kuitenkin niin moraa- lisesti, yhteiskunnallisesti kuin elämäntaitojen kultivoin- nillekin otollisempi aika, jolloin taas ”arvostetaan pää- määriä enemmän kuin keinoja ja hyvää enemmän kuin hyödyllistä”.1 Optimisminsa lujikkeeksi Keynes varoitteli kahden- laisen aikalaispessimismin vaaroista. Vallankumouk- selliset pessimistit näkevät vallitsevan tilanteen niin huonona, että ainoa ratkaisu on väkivaltainen murros. Taantumukselliset pessimistit puolestaan pitävät talou- dellista

  • 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.

    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.

    ISSN 1918-7351 Volume 2 (2010) Girard and Anselm: The Ontological Argument and Mimetic Theory1 Paolo Diego Bubbio It may seem strange to connect the ontological argument for God‟s existence with René Girard‟s thought. My first aim is to clarify this connection.2 In order to do so, we must first suggest three distinct hermeneutical approaches to Girard. If we take an internal, literal approach, we find that Girard writes nothing about the ontological proof. Nevertheless, he does cite Anselm. If we take an internal, non- literal approach to Girard, we can try to deduce what he might have thought about the ontological proof on the basis of his mimetic theory, thereby extending his thought while remaining within his theory. If we take a critical approach, we can interpret Girard from an external perspective and critically analyze analogies between the ontological proof and his mimetic theory on the assumption that there is no a priori reason why there cannot be a relationship between an argument and a thinker, even without that thinker‟s awareness and in spite of his intentions. With respect to the internal, non-literal approach, we must go back to the foundations of mimetic theory and briefly clarify what Girard means by “religion” and “philosophy.” According to Girard, the hominization process begins when one human being starts to imitate the desires of another, that is, when a man feels inferior, devoid of something with which other men seem equipped.3 “Wanting to be like another” means wanting to possess what the other possesses. Mimetic rivalry appears, and with it, violence.

  • Hegel and the Concept of World History
    HegeLab 3rd International Workshop HEGEL AND THE CONCEPT OF WORLD HISTORY Supported by the London Graduate School & the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Kingston University 14-15 April 2016 Venue: Antoinette Hotel, Beaufort Road, Kingston, KT1 2TQ Objektiver Geist occupies an intermediary position in the general context of Hegel’s system. It was, however, a late “discovery” encountered in a double exteriority, both outside the subjective and separate from absolute spirit. Hegel’s passion for the objective led to numerous returns to the system’s middle term to rework and update its content. When this effort was interrupted by the philosopher’s death, the first Hegelians took up the challenge to furnish the system’s middle grounds with the philosophy of history and other posthumous fragments of teaching or early writings. If the Hegelian concept of objective spirit was developed on the grounds of history, rather than political economy, is the concept itself subject-specific? What does it cover, designate, constrain, impose, or conceptualize? Is objective spirit still to be thought there, where it imposed itself on Hegel, on the first Hegelians, and on later ones (Left, Right and Centre)? This two-day conference seeks to address questions arising from the concept of world history in relation to the form, function, and content of objective spirit as presented in the Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences and Elements of the Philosophy of Right.

  • Ro Sono Messi in Rapporto. Nel XVI E Ultimo Ca
    Recensioni 243 merito di non astrarre dall’atto del porre mediante cui l’essere e il pensie- ro sono messi in rapporto. Nel XVI e ultimo capitolo, Le rôle de la dimension esthétique dans la que- stion de la fondation, entre romantisme, idéalisme allemand et philosophie transcendan- tale, Alessandro Bertinetto mette in risalto il ruolo che la filosofia dell’arte assume nella problematica della fondazione. L’articolo prende in conside- razione il pensiero di Kant, dei primi romantici, di Schelling e di Hegel, per poi puntare il focus dell’indagine su Fichte: l’esperienza artistica, in quanto sviluppo dell’immaginazione, costituisce il nesso tra il piano empirico e quello trascendentale; detto altrimenti, la dimensione estetica è il modo in cui il soggetto impara a produrre nuove possibilità. Nonostante il presente volume costituisca un contributo importante agli studi sulla filosofia tedesca successiva alla svolta criticista, non ci si può esimere dal rilevarne un grave limite: tutti e sedici i contributi ri- spondono alla domanda sul come fondare la filosofia, ma nemmeno uno di essi affronta la questione del perché. Nemmeno un articolo è dedicato a ricostruire la genesi storica del problema, a illustrare come la ragione dell’Aufklärung si ritrovi schiacciata, dalla disputa sullo Spinozismo e dai prodromi dello Sturm und Drang, tra l’accusa di nichilismo e l’appello all’irrazionale. Inoltre, nessuno dei sedici articoli è dedicato esclusivamen- te – perché tale sarebbe lo spazio richiesto – alla filosofia kantiana, a chiedersi, nello specifico, se per Kant quella del fondamento fosse davve- ro una lacuna da colmare, se costituisse o meno un problema.

  • On the Proper Scope of Philosophy of Religion
    On the Proper Scope of Philosophy of Religion Ali Pirhayati and Zeinab Rezaei (Tehran) Abstract Diego Bubbio criticizes the current debate between the “new the- ists” and the “new atheists,” arguing that philosophy of religion has been reduced to a kind of inconclusive debate between atheistic naturalism and theistic natural philosophy. He calls for a revision of the criteria de- fining the scope of philosophy of religion and believes that the post- Kantian philosophy (particularly contemporary continental philosophy) can help set a proper normative criterion for redefining the scope of phi- losophy of religion. In this article, we elaborate on some other aspects on which continental philosophers can have a role in setting a proper scope for the philosophy of religion. 1. Introduction In “Metaphilosophical Reflections on Theism and Atheism in the Current Debate” (2009),1 the Italian philosopher Diego Bubbio ques- tions the current definition of philosophy of religion as encompassing the works of new atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Quentin Smith, on the one hand, and the works of new theists such as Alvin Plantinga, William Lane Craig, and Robert Koons, on the other hand. The new atheists try to replace supernaturalism and theism with an alternative worldview in which natural science is able to efficiently ex- plain all the facts about the origins of the Earth, the meaning of human life, and ethics. The new theists, in contrast, try to provide “rational proofs for the existence of a personal God and supernatural/religious ex- 1 Diego Bubbio, “Metaphilosophical Reflections on Theism and Atheism in the Current Debate.” In P.
