Arnold Hauser and the Retreat from Marxism
ON CREATIVITY AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE SUPRANATIONAL STATE Barry SMITH and Wolfgang GRASSL Summary Building on the writings of Wittgenstein on rule-following and deviance, Kristóf Nyíri advanced a theory of creativity as consisting in a fusion of conflicting rules or disciplines. Only such fusion can produce something that is both intrinsically new and yet capable of being apprehended by and passed on to a wider community. Creativity, on this view, involves not the breaking of rules, or the deliberate cultivation of deviant social habits, but rather the acceptance of enriched systems of rules, the adherence to which presupposes simultaneous immersion in disciplines hitherto seen as being unrelated. The paper presents a demonstration of the fruitfulness of this theory by means of an account of some of the political, cultural and intellectual peculiarities of the Habsburg Monarchy. Philosophers of various persuasions have at different times attempted to pin down the nature and peculiarities of large-scale social and political formations. The Greeks concerned themselves with the peculiarities of monarchies, republics, oligarchies, and of course with the nature of the polis, and German thinkers worried themselves philo- sophically about the oppositions of culture and civilization, society and community, nation and state. Philosophical consideration of supranational or imperial orders, in contrast, and in particular of that imperial order which was variously called Austria-Hungary, the Austrian Empire, the Habsburg Empire, or the Danube Monarchy, has been much less common. And where it has occurred it has been associated with a marked lack of sympathy and enthusiasm, often taking on the form of a mere apologia for something which, in a better world, would be more properly organized. -

In This Issue... O Our Donors, in Particular, Are People Who Have Fond Memories of the School, the University, Former Professors and Good Times at KU
Spring 2007 Wooldridge scholarship ‘family’ continues to grow By Shanxi Upsdell, Shawnee, Kan., junior oger Wooldridge was an only child, but the number of R brothers and sisters in his extended family grows each year. The scholarship in his name has helped his “siblings,” the Wooldridge scholars, earn journalism degrees at the University of Kansas since 1974. His parents, Norris and Helena Wooldridge, created the scholarship as a memorial after his death in 1973. Norris died at age 84 in 1999, and Helena died at age 89 on Jan. 15, 2007. Before she died, Helena spoke in a fi nal interview about Roger and the Wooldridge scholars, whose number reached 140 journalism students in 2006. “They were like an extended family,” she said. “That’s the way I felt about them.” Helena Wooldridge The scholarship has become one of the hallmarks of the Journalism School, providing fi nancial assistance, emotional support and lifetime membership in the Wooldridge family in honor of their son. Roger was born in 1952 and grew up in Kingman on the Wooldridges’ farm. Helena described him as “a real good kid” who “never was a minute’s trouble for us.” “He was a lot like me – he might butt in where he wasn’t supposed to,” she said, laughing. “But he’d do it because he thought he was helping.” In 1970, Roger enrolled at KU and began pursuing a public relations major. After interviewing for an internship in South Dakota in 1973, he started driving back to Lawrence. He was killed when his car crashed in a fi eld near Norfolk, Neb.
