Pierre Verstraeten est Professeur à l’Université libre de Bruxelles (essentiellement laïque), il a été un des principaux interprètes de la pensée de Sartre. Anti-humaniste rigoureux, il a restitué la profondeur philosophique de l’éthique anti-idéaliste de Sartre, notamment dans son livre sur le théâtre, Violence et Ethique (Gallimard 1972), et ses articles sur le Saint Genet et la morale des années 1960. Il a confronté Sartre aux auteurs de la tradition, dont Hegel, et à la pensée française contemporaine. En dévoilant le poids du collectif et de la dialectique dans L’Être et le Néant aussi bien que la teneur morale et phénoménologique de la Critique de la Raison dialectique et de L’Idiot de la Famille, il a montré la profonde unité de l’œuvre. Directeur, d’abord avec Sartre, de la « Bibliothèque de Philosophie » chez Gallimard de 1966 à 1992, qui fut au carrefour des traditions phénoménologique, dialectique et existentialiste, Sartre lui a accordé une interview majeure, « L’écrivain et sa langue, » Situations IX (1966) et a notamment répondu à la question sous-tendant sa trajectoire : peut-on être révolutionnaire sans en appeler discrètement au sacré ? Sartre a reconnu son optimisme vécu bien que non fondé » (ex : Dictionnaire Sartre, Honoré Champion, p.511) .

    Continuing Dispossession: Clearances As a Literary and Philosophical Theme Ian Angus

    Continuing Dispossession: Clearances as a Literary and Philosophical Theme Ian Angus 1. Critique, Hope and Inhabitation a blue heron and it occurs to me that if I were to die at this moment that picture would accompany me wherever I am going for part of the way From “The Last Picture in the World” by Al Purdy1 The study of culture in English Canada seems now to be suffused with the sense that something has come to an end. In this sense it perhaps participates in a wider feeling of fatigue, that the cultural resources at our disposal are insufficient to address the current situation. This situation presents itself as one of either impending catastrophe or long-term decline and corresponds to the already-underway normalization of Canada as a junior member of the world’s dominant nations. There is not much sense any more that the embedded structural inequalities of the past can be criticized and confronted in a manner that would motivate renewal. Within such a mood of dejection and even despair the activity of criticism itself runs the danger of promoting cynicism by showing the ideals of the past as always-already implicated in power structures and thereby contributing to the very impasse that it would diagnose. In order to refuse this repackaging as cynicism, critique must admit to its secret alliance with hope, as naïve and precarious as hope may seem at the moment. It may be impossible to speak this hope positively but it must be acknowledged to lurk within the negation of the negation.2 I will speak of dispossession as historical fact and literary remembrance to confront the continuing dispossession that must be negated in any speech about justice.

    The Hermeneutical Circle Or the Hermeneutical Spiral?

    Intl. J. Humanities (2008) Vol. 15 ( 2): ( 99 - 111 ) The Hermeneutical Circle or the Hermeneutical Spiral? Mohammad Motahari 1 Received: 9/6/2007 Accept: 26/8/2007 Abstract The problem of the hermeneutical circle is one of the contentious issues in philosophical hermeneutics. This paper, begins with focusing on the question as to whether what hermeneuts mean by a hermeneutical circle is in fact a real circle with no analogical sense involved . Recognizing that this problem is not confined to the relation between part and whole, this study confine s itse lf to explor e the problem of the hermeneutical circle with regard to the circularity between part and whole in a sentence. I will argue that, as far as the interdependence between part and whole of a sentence is concerned, there is no real circularity betw een them . This will be followed by scrutinizing the source of such a misunderstanding, i.e. , the circular interdependence between understanding the part and the whole of a sentence . I will Downloaded from eijh.modares.ac.ir at 23:17 IRST on Friday September 24th 2021 present my analy sis through a critical reading of two contemporary hermeneuts , Eric Donald Hirsch and Graeme Nicholson, even though both are on the right track in questioning the existence of such a circle in the first place . The argument presented could apply to contexts well beyond that of the circularity between part and whole in a sentence. Keywords: Philosophical Hermeneutics, Hermeneutical Circle, Sentence , Part and Whole, Frederick Schleiermacher, Hans -Georg Gadamer, Eric Hirsch, Graeme Nicholson. 1.

    Open Philosophy 2019; 2: 582–589 Does Public Art Have to Be Bad Art? Editorial Mark Kingwell* Editorial Introduction to the Topical Issue “Does Public Art Have to Be Bad Art?” https://doi.org/10.1515/opphil-2019-0041 Overview Both the title and the call for papers for this topical issue were phrased with deliberate provocation in mind. So many discussions of public art seem to involve contentious views, citizen outcry, and conflict between ‘the general public’ (who must experience and live with the art) and the creators or curators of that art (who can sometimes seem, or be, elitist, arrogant, and irresponsible). The provocation, therefore, was deliberate but not without reflection. We wanted the articles in this issue to extend and expand on familiar disputes between citizens and government agencies, or corporations, who might commission public art works. We also wanted, naturally, to query the notion of ‘bad art’ in the context of the public sphere, especially in the places where everyday experience leads us to expect encounters with public art: parks, plazas, shared courtyards, airports, subway systems. It is worth noting the obvious links among these various sites, namely, that they are almost always urban and unavoidable. I may choose to drive to a non-gallery artwork such as Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty (1970, Great Salt Lake, Utah), or Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset’s Prada Marfa (2005, Valentine, Texas), or Seven Magic Mountains (2016, Las Vegas, Nevada) by Ugo Rondinone, or Alfredo Barsuglia’s Social Pool (2014, Mojave Desert, California). Here, remoteness is often part of the work.

In order to adequately discuss Heidegger‘s notion of time we first require a historical mediation, i.e., to go back to and interpret the time phenomenon by engaging in a hermeneutical analysis. Therefore, the method that Heidegger adopts (the hermeneutical situation) is the method that I adopt throughout. It is important to note that I will be conducting my own phenomenology, i.e., I will be phenomenologizing in an attempt to better understand the time phenomenon in relation to factical life experience.

    Animus 10 (2005) www.swgc.mun.ca/animus Heidegger, Self And State: Doull, Nicholson And The Problem Of Postmodern Politics James Crooks Bishop’s University jcrooks@ubishops. In the context of Heidegger’s thought it is not easy to say what the state is. .1 I’d like to begin by expressing sincere appreciation to Eli Diamond for organizing this session and inviting me to be part of it. The philosophical life is at bottom, I think, a life of gratitude. As Heidegger himself said more than once, denken ist danken . But I am thankful, in particular, to have been touched by the legacy of James Doull before encountering it explicitly in the handsome volume David Peddle and Neil Robertson have now produced. 2 My parents were students at Dalhousie in the early 1950’s when Doull and George Grant were developing, in classes and informal dialogue, the modes of intellectual engagement that would have such profound impact on Canadian philosophy in the decades to follow. Their recollections of those days shaped my earliest expectations of philosophy and university experience. Much later on, as a doctoral student trying to break into the job market, I made a presentation on Nietzsche and Heidegger at the 1989 meeting of the CPA. My commentator was F.L. Jackson. In a brief correspondence running up to the Congress he sent me a substantial paper he had written on the revolutionary nature of contemporary thought. 3 I came back to it for years in trying to work out my own orientation in the history of philosophy.

    Auto-Prognosis of a Comparative Media Theorist by Ian Angus to Be

    Editorial: Auto-prognosis of a Comparative Media Theorist By Ian Angus To be asked to speak of oneself is more a burden than opportunity. If thinking is immersed in one’s life and situation it can no more be objectified than one’s loves or disgusts. The tone is impossible to stipulate. It wavers. It can’t help but be retrospective like Minerva’s owl. But it may attempt to speak primarily not to what has been done but what remains undone. Its speaking, fessing up, then becomes an aspiration. In this, one may hope not to be alone. Thought in any case belongs to nobody. One seeks only to belong to thought. Confession My engagement (Angus 1984) with issues of language was not primordial, so to speak, in that my initial work on technology and 1 reason, stimulated by the crisis and expectation of the 1960’s, was grounded in the primacy of experience. The teleology of this work aimed to suggest “a role for reason beyond offering technical fixes in the efforts to solve the world’s plethora of environmental crisis” (DeLuca 2001: 325). Already in the 1970’s, whenever one said ‘experience’, both Hegelians and hermeneuticists jumped up and said that ‘experience is always mediated by a past; it is never immediate as such’ and that ‘the embeddedness of thought in language places it in history’. If the immediacy of experience is always mediated, then the starting-place of thought cannot be from the here-and-now but takes place through an engagement with what is inherited in which the here-and-now is from the start constructed and relativized.
