  • Abstract the Shelter of Philosophy
    ABSTRACT THE SHELTER OF PHILOSOPHY: REPRESSION AND CONFRONTATION OF THE TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE IN THE WORKS OF SARAH KOFMAN by Ashlee M. Cummings Sarah Kofman, philosopher and survivor of the Holocaust, contributed to the treatment of the traumatic narrative as something to be feared and suppressed, yet she also broke from this tradition with the writing of her autobiography, Rue Ordener, rue Labat, which detailed the horrors she suffered during the German occupation of France and the aftermath of her father’s death in Auschwitz. This thesis aims to show that while her autobiography was a drastic separation from her previous writings, in which she denies any such telling of a traumatic story is necessary, all of Kofman’s final texts that were written immediately preceding her suicide express a certain urgency with regard to her personal history. This project considers how Kofman treated her autobiography, from paradoxically hiding and showcasing it, to her claims that it didn’t exist outside of her bibliography.

Notes and Discussions Nietzsche and Aestheticism 1o Alexander Nehamas's Nietzsche: L~fe as Literature' has enjoyed an enthusiastic reception since its publication in 1985 . Reviewed in a wide array of scholarly journals and even in the popular press, the book has won praise nearly everywhere and has already earned for Nehamas--at least in the intellectual community at large--the reputation as the preeminent American Nietzsche scholar. At least two features of the book may help explain this phenomenon. First, Nehamas's Nietzsche is an imaginative synthesis of several important currents in recent Nietzsche commentary, reflecting the influence of writers like Jacques Der- rida, Sarah Kofman, Paul De Man, and Richard Rorty. These authors figure, often by name, throughout Nehamas's book; and it is perhaps Nehamas's most important achievement to have offered a reading of Nietzsche that incorporates the insights of these writers while surpassing them all in the philosophical ingenuity with which this style of interpreting Nietzsche is developed. The high profile that many of these thinkers now enjoy on the intellectual landscape accounts in part for the reception accorded the "Nietzsche" they so deeply influenced.

  • An Introduction to Paul Ricoeur's Philosophy of Action
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Volume 7 • Number 11 • November 2017 Why the Reality is Not Totalisable: An Introduction to Paul Ricoeur’s Philosophy of Action Vinicio Busacchi Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy University of Cagliari Via Is Mirrionis 1 – 09100 Cagliari, Italy Abstract This article the matises Ricoeur’s speculative parcours around the philosophy of action. It starts by offering a perspective on French (Continental) philosophy’s contribution to the Philosophy of Action. The roles played by Sartre and Merleau-Ponty’s existential phenomenology, and the Structure lists are particularly emphasised, including references to Ricoeur’s speculative researches. These Ricoeurian developments can be connected under a general anthropological perspective, creating a double (productive) implication: (1) to recognise a new interpretative key for the Ricoeurian parcours, and (2) to find a new (Ricoeurian) way to defend the idea of the gnoseological and epistemological impossibility that considers the reality of the world as a comprehensive knowledge. Keywords: Action, Reality, Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, Anthropology Introduction Philosophy of action’s continued significance and use in contemporary French philosophy primarily depends on the phenomenological (phenomenological-existential) tradition, as well as philosophical hermeneutics and structuralism. Within this framework, philosophy of action is defined as a broad inter-discipline or inter- dominion, ranging from the general practical philosophy to existentialism, and covering such diverse fields as pragmatism, philosophy of mind and language, structuralism and linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and beyond. The general philosophy of action had its first speculative articulation in the Francophone area. The philosophical-religious work carried out in the mid-nineteenth century by Léon Ollé-Laprune and Maurice Blondel turned the focus of the field to the moral idealism of action (Fichte).

  • Post-Continental Philosophy: Its Definition, Contours, and Fundamental Sources
    Post-continental Philosophy: Its Definition, Contours, and Fundamental Sources NELSON MALDONADO-TORRES It is no accident that the global geographical framework in use today is essentially a cartographic celebration of European power. After centuries of imperialism, the presumptions of a worldview of a once-dominant metropole has become part of the intellectual furniture of the world…. Metageography matters, and the attempt to engage it critically has only begun. Martin W. Lewis and Kären W. Wigen, The Myth of Continents.1 or several decades now the contours of legitimate philosophy have been drawn by advocates of F so-called analytic and continental philosophies. Analytic philosophy is often referred to as a style of thinking centered on the question of whether something is true, rather than, as continental philosophy, on the multiple factors that constitute meaning.2 Analytic philosophy is also said to be closer to the sciences, while continental philosophy has more affinity with the humanities.3 One of the reasons for this lies in that while analytic philosophy tends to dismiss history from its reflections, continental philosophy typically emphasizes the relevance of time, tradition, lived experience, and/or social context. Fortunately, this situation is slowly but gradually changing today. A variety of intellectuals are defying the rigid boundaries of these fields. Some of the most notable are Afro- American, Afro-Caribbean, and Latina/o scholars using the arsenal of these bodies of thought to analyze and interpret problems related to colonialism, racism, and sexism in the contemporary world.4 These challenges demand a critical analysis of the possibilities and limits of change within the main coordinates of these different styles or forms of philosophizing.

Although I was studying sport and play in a different department, I was intrigued by the title – art seemed closely related to play and sport in the landscape of human experiences. Further, the course was offered at a convenient time and it fulfilled a deficiency I had toward graduation. Unfortunately, I had no idea what I was getting into. The course readings, which included Martin Heidegger, Friedrich Nietzsche, Maurice Merleau- Ponty, Jacques Derrida, Jurgen Habermas, and, most prominently, Hans-Georg Gadamer, seemed so dense that they necessitated long hours of introduction and prior training that I did not have.

  • Analytic and Continental Philosophy, Science, and Global Philosophy
    CHAPTER SIX ANALYTIC AND CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY, SCIENCE, AND GLOBAL PHILOSOPHY Richard Tieszen There are many references in the philosophical literature to the division between analytic and Continental philosophy but it is not easy to provide a simple formulation of what it is that distinguishes these approaches to or styles of philosophy. There have been significant subdivisions within what has been considered analytic philosophy, such as that between for- mal philosophy, ordinary language philosophy, and conceptual analysis, and there have of course also been many variations within the general grouping of Continental philosophy, extending from eidetic phenomenol- ogy, existential phenomenology, existentialism, structuralism and semiot- ics, and neo-Freudian analysis to deconstruction. Philosophers who have written about the split between the analytic and Continental traditions have often focused on the work of particular figures who seem to embody much of what is involved in the division. In The Origins of Analytic Philoso- phy, for example, Michael Dummett looks to Frege and Husserl and holds that Frege took a turn into the philosophy of language but that Husserl did not, thus initiating a split in modern philosophy. Michael Friedman, to take another example, writes a book entitled A Parting of the Ways in which he focuses on Carnap, Cassirer, and Heidegger. Over the years I have heard or read a host of characterizations of the two traditions, such as the following: Analytic philosophy strives for clarity, exactness, precision and Continental philosophy does not. Con- tinental philosophy instead tends toward the use of poetic or dramatic language. The methodology of analytic philosophy is argumentation while Continental philosophy, if it has a methodology at all, is concerned with description or narrative or literary quality.

We will pay close attention this semester to the relationship between the self and others. We will look at the debates that followed the rediscovery of Ancient philosophy and the Copernican revolution with Descartes’ rationalist and individualistic philosophy, Condillac’s empiricist critique, whose role for language brings the self into a web of social relations, and the growing recognition of the problem of society with Rousseau. We will then look at Henri Bergson’s reaction to the rise of the empirical sciences in the 19th century and especially at his distinction between the deep self and the social self. We will deepen our appreciation of the issues Bergson highlights with readings from René Girard and Jean Baudrillard, and we will look for possible solutions in Alexandre Kojève’s reading of Hegel and in Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir’s distinctive development of existentialism. ● No prerequisites ● Lecture Tuesday 5 to 6:30pm, recitation sections Thursday 3-4:30pm and 5-6:30pm ● NYU Paris, room TBD Course Overview and Goals Upon Completion of this Course, students will be able to: ● get a sense of the historical evolution of philosophy since the 16th-century, ● see how French philosophers developed some of the key ideas and movements in that history ● identity and debate important issues philosophers still discuss today ● learn how to assess the strength and weaknesses of arguments, ● engage in constructive philosophical discussion, give reasons, and raise objections, Page 1 ● perfect their skills in argumentative writing.

HEELAN PART I: Continental and Analytic Philosophy of Science Compared The two most characteristic interests of continental philosophy1 are (1) its preoccupation with the problem of the “constitution” of knowledge, and (2) the effect of the historical and cultural world context of science on the “social constitution” of scientific knowledge. Such constitution is “hermeneutical,” when it essentially involves language, natural and artifactual symbols, and historical communities of interpreters. Continental philosophy from the start sees science as an institution in a cultural, historical, and hermeneutical setting. The domain of its discourse is values, subjectivity, Life Worlds, history, and society, as these affect the constitution of scientific knowledge.

  • Patrice Bougon
    Revue électronique internationale www.sens-public.org Sartre, Sarah Kofman et Jacques Derrida La déconstruction et son héritage PATRICE BOUGON Résumé : Jacques Derrida et Sarah Kofman ont hérité de Jean Paul Sartre, mais la pratique de la déconstruction a mis en question la démarche du fondateur des Temps Modernes, notamment en ce qui concerne la relation entre la philosophie et la littérature. Il est intéressant d 'analyser comment, après avoir écrit une bonne partie de leurs œuvres, ces deux philosophes ont pris la peine de remarquer les traces de l'oeuvre de Sartre dans leur autobiographie intellectuelle. L'héritage est pour une part de l'ordre de l'inconnu. La temporalité du sujet lecteur, la dette, le rapport entre théorie et autobiographie, le rapport au suicide (S.K.) sont aussi ici analysés. Contact : [email protected] Sartre, Sarah Kofman et Jacques Derrida La déconstruction et son héritage1 Patrice Bougon2 A la mémoire de S.K. « On ne peut pas souhaiter un héritier ou une héritière qui n'invente pas l'héritage, qui ne le porte pas ailleurs, dans la fidélité. Une fidélité infidèle. On retrouve cette double injonction qui ne me quitte pas. »3 Jacques Derrida n guise d'introduction pour situer mon propos dans le cadre de ce colloque « Que faire de Sartre ? » et plus précisément de cette session Sartre philosophe, deux Eremarques préliminaires s'imposent. Une double chance nous est offerte par ces mots donnés que nous lèguent les organisateurs. Il nous faut donc hériter de cette question dont la simplicité n'est qu'apparente : Que faire de Sartre ? Que nous donne à penser Sartre par cet héritage ? La déconstruction hérite de Sartre, mais réciproquement, comme l'indique le double génitif de mon sous-titre, le texte de Sartre hérite aussi de l'apport de cette démarche philosophique sur laquelle je reviendrai.
