  • Nietzsche's Orientalism
    Duncan Large Nietzsche’s Orientalism Abstract: Edward Said may omit the German tradition from his ground-breaking study of Orientalism (1978), but it is clearly appropriate to describe Nietzsche as Orientalist in outlook. Without ever having left Western Europe, or even having read very widely on the subject, he indulges in a series of undiscriminating stereotypes about “Asia” and “the Orient”, borrowing from a range of contemporary sources. His is an uncom- mon Orientalism, though, for his evaluation of supposedly “Oriental” characteristics is generally positive, and they are used as a means to critique European decadence and degeneration. Because he defines the type “Oriental” reactively in opposition to the “European”, though, it is contradictory. Furthermore, on Nietzsche’s analysis “Europe” itself is less a type or a geographical designation than an agonal process of repeated self-overcoming. He reverses the received evaluation of the Europe-Orient opposition only in turn to deconstruct the opposition itself. Europe first emerged out of Asia in Ancient Greece, Nietzsche claims, and it has remained a precarious achieve- ment ever since, repeatedly liable to “re-orientalisation”. He argues that “Oriental” Christianity has held Europe in its sway for too long, but his preferred antidote is a further instance of European “re-orientalisation”, at the hands of the Jews, whose productive self-difference under a unified will he views as the best model for the “good Europeans” of the future. Keywords: Orientalism, Edward Said, Asia, Europe, Christianity, Jews, good Europeans. Zusammenfassung: Auch wenn in Edward Saids bahnbrechender Studie Orienta- lismus (1978) die deutsche Tradition nicht vorkommt, lässt sich Nietzsches Haltung doch als ‚orientalistisch‘ beschreiben.

  • HABERMAS [Kabinettskriege], Philosophy Assumed This Role a Second Time
    8 Does the Constitutionalization of International Law Still Have a Chance?1 The Introduction Divided As the European system of states was taking shape, phi losophy, in the persons of Francisco Suarez, Hugo Grotius, West and Samuel Pufendorf, still played the role of pacemaker in the creation of modern international law. Moreover, when legally constrained international relations later stabilized at the level of violence of so-called cabinet wars BY JORGEN HABERMAS [Kabinettskriege], philosophy assumed this role a second time. With his conception of a-"cosmopolitan condition" or "wekburgerlichen Zustand," Kant took a decisive step Edited and Translated by beyond international law centered exclusively on states. Since then, international law has not only developed into CIABAN CRONIN a specialized brand of legal theory. Following two world wars, the constitutionalization of international law has evolved along the lines prefigured by Kant toward cosmo politan law and has assumed institutional form in inter national constitutions, organizations, and procedures.2 Since the end of the bipolar world order and the emergence of the US as the pre-eminent world power, an alternative to the evolution of a cosmopolitan constitution has emerged. A world dominated by nation-states is indeed 2-00 in transition toward the postnational constellation of a polity global society. States are losing their autonomy in part as they become increasingly enmeshed in the horizontal 115 THE KANTIAN PROJECT THE CXJNSTITUTIONALIZATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW networks of a global society.3 But in this situation the accord priority to its own, ethically rather than legally, Kantian project of a cosmopolitan order not only has to justified national interests, even over the objections of its confront the traditional objection of "realists" who affirm allies.

  • Saintsand Madmen
    SAINTS AND MADMEN THE LIMITS OF INTEGRITY Konzeption: Amber Carpenter York Susan Neiman Potsdam Rachael Wiseman Durham Internationale Tagung Mittwoch, 4. – Freitag, 6. Juni EINSTEIN FORUM Einstein Forum Am Neuen Markt 7 14467 Potsdam Tel. 0331-27178-0 www.einsteinforum.de [email protected] Speakers and Themes Jeremy Bendik-Keymer Rejecting Integrity, Choosing Humanity Integrity maintains the connotation of being untouched. Two of its prominent images – that of upholding norms or of being idealistic – reinforce that connotation through the concepts of rules and of forms. Incorruptibility is then found in being rigid or absolutely being. I believe there is an undemocratic politics and a stultifying view of moral education in this nest. I would prefer something humane: a trustworthy goodness comfortable in anarchy, disobedience, non-conformity and becoming, stuff of the comedy of life. What happens to what we want out of integrity when we begin with the assumption that the good part of life – and also the moral – involves being in touch with life and with people? Secondly, what happens to the good stuff of life – and the moral – when we avoid being normative or being ideal, that is, when we turn away the very concepts of norms and of ideals? Thirdly, what happens when good people aren’t seen as undeviating or absolute but are seen as in the process of becoming? What is incorruptibility when we reject integrity and prefer humanity? Educated at Yale and at the University of Chicago, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer is Elmer G. Beamer-Hubert H.

  • Kant, Rawls, and the Moral Foundations of the Political Nythamar De Oliveira Porto Alegre, Brazil In
    Kant, Rawls, and the Moral Foundations of the Political Nythamar de Oliveira Porto Alegre, Brazil In: Kant und die Berliner Aufklärung: Akten des IX Internationalen Kant-Kongresses, ed. Volker Gerhardt, Rolf-Peter Horstmann und Ralph Schumacher, Berlin: W. de Gruyter, 2001, 286-295. Abstract: This paper recasts the problematic of the moral foundations of the political in light of John Rawls's critical appropriation of Immanuel Kant's practical philosophy (GMS, KpV, MdS, and political writings). It is shown to what extent one may succeed nowadays in preserving the normative principle of universalizability without falling back into moral foundationalism and in accounting for the stability of a "well-ordered society" in the very terms of an unsociable sociability combining morality and legality (articulation of the universal principle of justice and the categorical imperative). By recasting a theory of justice as fairness, starting from the "fact of pluralism" and from a conception of a "public political culture", Rawlsian contractarianism not only corrects its own inconsistencies but reiterates its Kantian-inspired proceduralism. Despite its shift from a comprehensive doctrine of justice in his 1971 masterpiece (A Theory of Justice), Rawls’s later political conception of justice (esp. Political Liberalism) recasts Kant’s procedural device of self-determination and autonomy insofar as social agency is inevitably caught in reflective equilibrium. In lieu of celebrating a shift from the moral foundations of the political towards a specifically political theory of justice, Rawls’s constructivism recasts some of the very problems inherent in a Kantian critique of moral realism and intuitionism in ethics and political philosophy.

  • “How Much Truth Can a Spirit Dare?” Nietzsche's “Ethical”
    Ethics in Progress Quarterly ▪ ethicsinprogress.org ▪ Volume 2 (2011) ▪ Issue 2 ▪ pp. 23—45 “How Much Truth Can a Spirit Dare?” Nietzsche’s “Ethical” Truth Theory as an Epistemic Background for Philosophizing with Children Eva Marsal (Karlsruhe, Germany) 1. Autonomy through Concept Formation: the Socratic Element Philosophizing, according to Ekkehard Martens, can be seen as an elemental cultural technology, like arithmetic or writing, which both can and should be acquired in childhood. Martens is proposing here an understanding of philosophy that attributes value not only to the content canon, but also to the process itself, as Wittgenstein, for one, also did when he stated in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus , “Philosophy is not a doctrine, but an activity.” For Socrates, this activity consisted in “giving an account of ourselves, our knowledge, our way of life.” (Plato, 2008a, 187d). In Nietzsche’s view, the precondition for this kind of accounting is the personal capacity for self- distancing, which allows us to grasp our quite individual primal experiences of emotion, perception, sudden illuminations of insight, and so on, as general concepts and logical structures. “Let us think […] of the formation of concepts: every word at once becomes an idea by having not just to serve as a kind of reminder for the unique and entirely individualized original experience to which it owes its genesis, but also to fit countless more or less similar cases; strictly speaking, cases that are not the same, or in other words, an assortment of altogether unequal cases. Every concept arises from 24 |Eva Marsal the equation of that which is not equal.” (Nietzsche, KSA1, p.
