  • De Sade. Männlichkeit Und Sexuelle Erniedrigung
    Gert Hekma De Sade. Männlichkeit und sexuelle Erniedrigung Die Entstehung neuer Männlichkeitsideale im 18. Jahrhundert wird von der Histo­ riographie recht unterschiedlich datiert und erklärt. Randolph Trumbach glaubt den Ursprung des heterosexuellen Mannes im England der 1730er Jahre gefunden zu haben und meint, dass dieser Mann bewies, kein molly (kein Homosexueller in der zeitgenössischen Terminologie) zu sein, indem er zu Huren ging. 1 Ungefähr zur selben Zeit habe europaweit der Kampf gegen die Masturbation eingesetzt und da­ mit ein Diskurs, der sowohl die Sexualisierung der männlichen Kultur bewirkte als auch an die männliche Keuschheit appellierte, womit das Sexuelle zum Kern eines neuen Erziehungssystems avancierte.2 Nach Thomas Laqueur entsteht die Ge­ schlechterdichotomie, durch die sich Männer zum überlegenen Geschlecht erklär• ten, erst gegen Ende des Vernunftzeitalters.3 Abigail Solomon-Godeau untersuchte die markanten Veränderungen in der Repräsentation des Männlichen, insbesondere die Verschiebung vom femininen und libidinösen zum tapferen und keuschen Mann. Dieser Wandel lasse sich auch an den veränderten Bekleidungsgewohnheiten ablesen. Der neue Mann drückte seine Tugenden durch eine nüchterne Kleidung aus und sah herrschaftliche Pracht und Zurschaustellung nicht mehr als männliche Privilegien, sondern als weibliche Attribute.4 Die Ideale der Französischen Revolu­ tion führten zur Trennung von öffentlich und privat, wobei das politische Feld den Männern zugesprochen wurde und auch die Kontrolle über Frauen und Kinder im privaten ,Reich, umfasste. George L. Mosse hat darauf hingewiesen, dass Johann Joachim Winckelmanns Studien über die klassische griechische Kunst genauso zur Entwicklung des neuen Ideals einer muskulösen Männlichkeit beigetragen haben wie die Befreiungskriege gegen die napoleonische Armee.5 Die neuen maskulinen Ideale waren recht zwiespältig.

  • Hamann and Kierkegaard'
    Hamann and Kierkegaard' by RONALD GREGOR SMITH Between Johann Georg Hamann (1730-88) and S0renKierkegaard(i8i3-55) there was an extraordinary connexion. Hamann indeed was the figure who more than any other of modern times influenced Kierkegaard both in the form and content of his authorship and also, at a deeper level, in his very existence. It is notoriously difficult to understand Hamann’s writings, and it is per­ fectly possible for varying interpretations to be established with some show of consistency with Hamann’s own words. The trouble is that Hamann’s range is so wide, and so deep, that his epigones do not find it easy to reflect his richness. As Lessing wrote in a letter to Herder: His writings seem to be given out as tests for those gentlemen who call themselves polybistores. For you really do need a bit of panhistory in order to read them. A traveller can be easily found; but a mere stroller is hard to come upon.2 (Seine Schriften scheinen als Prüfungen der Herren aufgesetzt zu sein, die sich für Polyhistores ausgeben. Denn es gehört wirklich ein wenig Panhistorie dazu. Ein Wanderer ist leicht zu finden; aber ein Spazier­ gänger ist schwer zu treffen). Yet in spite of those difficulties, and in spite of the fact that I am not one of those polyhistores of whom Lessing speaks, I am not entirely convinced that Lessing is right when he attributes to Hamann a certain inconsequentiality and lack of deliberation in his interests. Nor is it enough to rescue Hamann from oblivion by setting him in the literary context of influences upon him and effects of his thoughts upon others.

  • Losing Touch: Rethinking Contingency As Common Tangency in Continental Thought
    Losing Touch: Rethinking Contingency as Common Tangency in Continental Thought Liane Francesca Carlson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Liane Francesca Carlson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Losing Touch: Rethinking Contingency as Common Tangency in Continental Thought Liane F. Carlson This dissertation grows out of the collapse of traditional Christian justifications for evil in the wake of Enlightenment critiques of religion and the atrocities of the twentieth century. Skeptical of teleological narratives that sought to domesticate suffering as part of a necessary plan - whether God’s plan, or some more secularized ideal of progress - a generation of Critical Theorists adopted the concept of contingency as their central tool for political critique. Defined as the realm of chance, change, and the unnecessary, contingency serves for most contemporary thinkers to remind us that even seemingly natural categories, such as sex, race, and religion could have been otherwise. Yet in using contingency to make sweeping statements about the nature of history, scholars often overlook how contingency is understood on the ground by those who feel their bodies and identities abruptly made unstable. This project seeks to reground contingency in the specificity of human experience by returning to a neglected Christian tradition that understood contingency as a state of finitude, defined in contrast to the necessary, impassive God. For such thinkers, contingency was experienced most acutely in the sense of touch as it renders the body vulnerable to the external world and the passions as they ambush the soul.

  • Herder's Debate with Kant
    [Intellectual History Archive 2, 2018] Piirimäe, Imperialism and Peace HUMAN RIGHTS, IMPERIALISM AND PEACE AMONG NATIONS: HERDER’S DEBATE WITH KANT Eva Piirimäe,12 University of Tartu I Human rights is a central normative idea in contemporary political thinking. Yet it is also increasingly common to argue that this idea is not a ‘fixed thing’. As Lynn Hunt has suggested, it is rather a ‘field of conflict’ or ‘a programme, an outlook, embedded in our political and cultural imagination and sensibility’.3 Perhaps it is therefore not entirely surprising that strongly diverging interpretations have been put forward about the origins of this idea during the recent decade. Lynn Hunt herself has charted its complex and often ruptured evolution, tracing its origins back to the emerging values of bodily integrity and empathetic selfhood in the eighteenth century.4 Samuel Moyn, by contrast, has argued that there is not much in common between the Enlightenment’s ‘eternal’ or natural rights of man and human rights, the latter constituting ‘a different conception altogether’.5 The Enlightenment’s natural rights were to be achieved through the construction of spaces of citizenship in which rights were accorded and protected, while human rights are ‘entitlements that might contradict the sovereign nation-state from above and outside’.6 Even more recently, in an Oxford Amnesty lecture of 2012, James Tully has restated the idea of the Enlightenment origins of human rights, focusing on the ways in which rights are derived and seen to be implemented both within states as well as outside them.7 In his lecture, Tully provides what he characterises as a ‘simple historical overview’ of two distinctive traditions of human rights.

  • Early Nineteenth Century German Idealism and Historical Perspectives in Beethoven’S Eroica Variations, Op
    EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY GERMAN IDEALISM AND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES IN BEETHOVEN’S EROICA VARIATIONS, OP. 35 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by Alessandra Tiraterra May 2017 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Charles Abramovic, Advisory Chair, TU Keyboard Department Dr. Sara Davis Buechner, TU Keyboard Department Dr. Maurice Wright, TU Composition Department Dr. David Cannata, External Member, TU Music Studies Department © Copyright 2017 by Alessandra Tiraterra All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This study argues that the dialectic and the metamorphosis of the basso del tema and tema in Beethoven’s Eroica Variations, Op. 35 mirror the stages of the philosophical thought of German Idealism. The philosophical systems of the post-Kantian generation were housed in the values of the Goethezeit, in which the concept of self was regarded as fundamental for the worldview. In Germany these systems generated a new intellectual ethos that merged cultural nationalism with the glorification of the self (Burnham). Beethoven’s music gave reliable expression to the values of the Goethezeit, depicting the self as a spiritual entity with a constitutive autonomy, a possibility for self-transcendence, and a fundamental condition of struggle for freedom. While research has focused on Beethoven’s heroic style (Broyles) and the philosophy of his music (Adorno), there is very little literature on the relationship between Beethoven’s music and the philosophical thought of the time. In 1930 Schenker discussed the use of the Eroica theme in the Eroica Variations (Marston): first, the material is stated in its simple form; then, rhythmic structure, dynamics, tempo, texture, and key transform it.

  • The Enlightenment of Jean-Baptiste-Louis Gresset, Léger-Marie Deschamps, and Simon-Nicolas-Henri Linguet
    ‘TOUCHSTONES OF TRUTH’: THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF JEAN-BAPTISTE-LOUIS GRESSET, LÉGER-MARIE DESCHAMPS, AND SIMON-NICOLAS-HENRI LINGUET DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mircea Alexandru Platon, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Dr. Alice Conklin, Adviser Dr. Nicholas Breyfogle Copyright Mircea Alexandru Platon 2012 ABSTRACT My dissertation, “ ‘Touchstones of Truth’: The Enlightenment of J.-B.-L. Gresset, L.-M. Deschamps, and S.-N.-H. Linguet,” focuses on three key but little studied opponents of the philosophes. I argue that the writer Jean-Baptiste-Louis Gresset (1709- 1777), the philosopher Léger-Marie Deschamps (1716-1774), and the lawyer and political theorist Simon-Nicolas-Henri Linguet (1736-1794) opposed the philosophes in the name of a set of universally valid principles against what they took to be the philosophes' superficial, self-serving, and haphazard politicization of language, philosophy and the social sciences. These three intellectuals warned that such politicization fostered economic, political, and intellectual inequality as well as cultural alienation, thereby undermining the Enlightenment’s own vision of a world of self-emancipated human beings and pushing France in the direction of a violent revolution. Gresset supported a “civic republican” political economy of virtue, and warned about the dangers of the consumer culture fostered by the philosophes. The roots of his cultural criticism lay in moral and political concerns that found expression in a patriotic discourse stressing the importance of social “harmony” and the common good while rejecting any temptation to belong to a “party.” In this spirit, Gresset defended the “ancient constitution” against idle monks, royal or ministerial despotism, parlementarian rebellion, and the philosophes.

  • Counter-Enlightenment, Communitarianism and Postmodernism
    META: Research in Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, and Practical Philosophy – IX (1) / 2017 META: RESEARCH IN HERMENEUTICS, PHENOMENOLOGY, AND PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY VOL. IX, NO. 1 / JUNE 2017: 262-283, ISSN 2067-3655, www.metajournal.org Counter-Enlightenment, Communitarianism and Postmodernism Bogdan Constantin Mihailescu “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi Abstract Although different phenomena, having dissimilar messages and horizons, between counter-enlightenment, communitarianism and postmodernism there is a consistent common ground. It's about the critical reaction towards modernity, especially concerning its major cultural ethos, the enlightenment. Counter-enlightenment, commonly interpreted in the history of the political thought as one of the main intellectual sources of conservatism, is even more than that. Its influence constantly reverberates on the entire social reflection proper to modernity, inclusively on some important contemporary orientations, as communitarianism or postmodernism. Without giving to this counter- enlightenment influence careful consideration, the social philosophy of communitarianism or of postmodernism may be seen only as an integrant part of the contemporary political left. Nevertheless, beside the emancipatory discourse, aiming to give an equal respect to all cultures, or beside the critical, liberating view, which intends to carry on the progressive ideals, surpassing all dogmas specific to enlightenment universalist rationalism, there is, within communitarianism and postmodernism, a conservative line, which can be understood by knowing their common counter-enlightenment origins. Keywords: enlightenment, counter-enlightenment, communitarianism, conservatism, language. Although different phenomena, having dissimilar messages and horizons, between counter-enlightenment, communitarianism and postmodernism there is a consistent common ground. It's about the critical reaction towards modernity, especially concerning its major cultural ethos, the enlightenment.

  • The Idea of a Language-Defined Kulturnation In
    Transitions of a Myth? The Idea of a Language-DefinedKulturnation in Germany Arndt Kremer The idea of a nation predominantly based on often vaguely defined cultural values and standards has a long history in Germany, rooted in the development of a supra-regional, widely accepted variety of German, as a standard ‘High German’. This essay focuses on the development of the concept of a language-based cultural nation in Germany, particularly in the 18th and 19th century, but will also analyse recent provocative debates on national culture and identity which are, as affirmative developments or deprecatory deformations, negative or positive transitions of the original idea. The concept of aKulturnation determined by language that brings together the Vaterland ‘fatherland’ and the Muttersprache ‘mother tongue’ in a mat- rimonial relationship is still evocated and could be of new interest for debates on integration with respect to the refugee influx to Germany since 2015. However, the question arises: Are all of these celebrations not only repetitions of an outdated and even dangerous myth? 1. German Kulturnation: an ‘innocent meaning’? The idea of a nation predominately and constantly defined and determined by specific cultural values, standards, and norms is closely linked to questions on national identity and affiliation, and the idea is once again featuring prominently in contemporary debates on the subject.1 In October 2008, Horst Köhler, who was President of the Federal Republic at the time, delivered a speech on the occasion of the Day of German Unity titled “Cultural Nation of Germany.” In his com- memorative speech, President Köhler pointed out the significance of culture as an important constituent of national unity.
