For more information, please contact [email protected]. IS A DETERMINANT JUDGMENT REALLY A JUDGMENT? RODOLPHE GASCHÉ The concern with the power of judgment arises in Hannah Arendt‘s work in response to critical events in modernity in which, as a result of the impotence of familiar standards and categories to provide answers and orientation, this power has become undone.1 Arendt already broaches the crisis of understanding and judgment in 1953, that is, two years after the publication of her work on totalitarianism, in an essay entitled Understanding and Politics (The Difficulties of Understanding) where she states that ―the rise of totalitarian governments is the central event of our world.‖ However, it is only as a result of her reading (or rather re-reading) of Kant‘s Critique of the Power of Judgment in 1957 that Arendt explicitly begins to develop a political concept of judgment that would be up to the challenge of events that defy both common sense and cognitive understanding.2 In a letter from August 29, 1957, to Karl Jaspers she writes: At the moment I‘m reading the Kritik der Urteilskraft with increasing fascination.

He would send us back to the library with that twinkle in his eye “to do more library detective work”, as he called it, citing from memory at least a dozen more sources we had overlooked. Oh, how many a time since then have I rechecked my sources one more time!” 1 We also would like to thank our colleagues, friends and families who bear with us once we go down the rabbit hole – mornings, afternoons, evenings, nights, and weekends.

  • 2. Natural Versus Social Sciences: on Understanding in Economics* Wolfgang Drechsler
    2. Natural versus social sciences: on understanding in economics* Wolfgang Drechsler Verstehen ist der ursprüngliche Seinscharakter des menschlichen Lebens selber. (Gadamer 1990, p. 264, 1989, p. 259) Half a century ago, Ludwig von Mises concluded an essay with a title very similar to the present one by addressing the proponents of mathematical economics thus: ‘If it may some day be necessary to reform economic theory radically this change will not take its direction along the lines sug- gested by the present critics. The objections of these are thoroughly refuted forever’ (1942, p. 253).1 Mises’s first statement was factually wrong; this does not mean, however, that the second one was incorrect as well. Indeed, it seems to me that the problem of the current mainstream, math- ematical, usually neoclassical approach to economics2 is two-fold. It is flawed both practically and theoretically: practically because it does not deliver, theoretically because it rests on premises that are problematic at best, and extrapolates from them by equally questionable means. The argu- ment by its protagonists has been to excuse practical problems by pointing to theoretical truth-value, and theoretical ones by pointing to practical success. This chapter concentrates on the theoretical problems. It rests on the assumption, rather than tries to demonstrate, that mathematical econom- ics does not deliver; if one feels that it does, then one need not read on. But of course the theoretical problems have a practical connection (see Kant 1992, pp. 23–5), because the purpose of pursuing economic scholarship is not to create an aesthetically pleasing theoretical system, but rather to say something meaningful and consequential, directly or indirectly, about reality.

  • Linguistic Scepticism in Mauthner's Philosophy
    LiberaPisano Misunderstanding Metaphors: Linguistic ScepticisminMauthner’s Philosophy Nous sommes tous dans un désert. Personne ne comprend personne. Gustave Flaubert¹ This essayisanoverview of Fritz Mauthner’slinguistic scepticism, which, in my view, represents apowerful hermeneutic category of philosophical doubts about the com- municative,epistemological, and ontological value of language. In order to shed light on the main features of Mauthner’sthought, Idrawattention to his long-stand- ing dialogue with both the sceptical tradition and philosophyoflanguage. This con- tribution has nine short sections: the first has an introductory function and illus- tratesseveral aspectsoflinguistic scepticism in the history of philosophy; the second offers acontextualisation of Mauthner’sphilosophyoflanguage; the remain- der present abroad examination of the main features of Mauthner’sthought as fol- lows: the impossibility of knowledge that stems from aradicalisationofempiricism; the coincidencebetween wordand thought,thinkingand speaking;the notion of use, the relevanceoflinguistic habits,and the utopia of communication; the decep- tive metaphors at the root of an epoché of meaning;the new task of philosophyasan exercise of liberation against the limits of language; the controversial relationship between Judaism and scepticism; and the mystical silence as an extreme conse- quence of his thought.² Mauthnerturns scepticism into aform of life and philosophy into acritique of language, and he inauguratesanew approach that is traceable in manyGerman—Jewish

  • Annual Report 2004
    The Tile Project, Destination: The World Installation (Boston; photo by Glynette Scott) TransCultural Exchange’s 2004 Annual Report 516 East 2nd Street, #30 Boston, MA 02127 617.464.4086 www.transculturalexchange.org 2004 ANNUAL REPORT Executive Summary Thanks to our generous supporters and artists, TransCultural Exchange’s second full year of operating as a 501c3 organization confirmed the hopes and dreams of those who banded together in Chicago in 1988 to create TransCultural Exchange’s first international, cultural exchange Reverse Angle. Since then, some of the faces have changed. Both Kim Geldhill and Heejung Kim resigned after their two-year appointment as board members to tend to the birth of their first children. To take their place, Virginia Ilg, who has been with the organization since 2003, was voted onto the board. Additionally Dorothea Fleiss, who runs an international artist residency program in Romania, was added as an East European Liaison. Ralph Brancaccio was added as the European Liaison. These new members are committed to the original organizers’ dream of a world without barriers, boundaries or obstacles to cultural understanding, respect and artistic innovation. In over two short years, TransCultural Exchange has made financial leaps, securing important in-kind, individual, foundation and corporation contributions and grants, including one from the Asian Cultural Council and sponsorship from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). According to the United Nations press liaison, Suzanne Bilello, TransCultural Exchange’s current endeavor The Tile Project, Destination: The World is the first and only UNESCO sponsored U.S. project since the U.S. mission’s re-entry into UNESCO, confirming the global importance and significance of the organization’s project to the world at large.

  • Werdiger on Kohler, 'Kabbalah Research in the Wissenschaft Des Judentums (1820-1880): the Foundation of an Academic Discipline'
    H-Judaic Werdiger on Kohler, 'Kabbalah Research in the Wissenschaft des Judentums (1820-1880): The Foundation of an Academic Discipline' Review published on Monday, April 20, 2020 George Y. Kohler. Kabbalah Research in the Wissenschaft des Judentums (1820-1880): The Foundation of an Academic Discipline. Berlin: De Gruyter, 2019. 282 pp. $114.99 (cloth), ISBN 978-3-11-062037-5. Reviewed by Ori Werdiger (University of Chicago)Published on H-Judaic (April, 2020) Commissioned by Barbara Krawcowicz (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=54537 “It is very meritorious to provide information about the essence and substance of such a profound intellectual endeavor, especially if its creations are only accessible to such a small number of scholars, and have up to now so often been misunderstood.” This observation was made by a towering figure of nineteenth-century Wissenschaft des Judentums, the historian Isaac Marcus Jost. The endeavor to which Jost referred was kabbalah and its literary productions, one of many research objects of the then emerging field of Jewish studies in Germany. Yet, within this endorsement of research on Jewish mysticism, made on the occasion of reviewing a monograph on the history of kabbalah by his colleague Adolf Jellinek, Jost also confessed he viewed kabbalah as nothing short of “aberrances of the human intellect” (p. 124). An aberrancy, then, that nevertheless must be thoroughly studied and explained. In contrast to nineteenth-century Germany, in today’s arguably post-secular age, Jewish mysticism often counts among the most studied and in a certain way also most accessible elements of Judaism, both in the academy and in popular culture.
