17A Chronology of Key Events, Texts and Thinkers A Chronology of Key 17 Events, Texts and Thinkers 1807 Hegel, The Phenomenology of Spirit. 1819 Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation. 1827–1854 The later philosophy of F. W. J. von Schelling, which critiqued Hegelian idealism and developed the special concept of ‘existence’ infl uential on Kierkegaard and later existentialists. 1843–1855 In various texts, the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855) challenged the religious orthodoxy of his time, as well as the enlightenment emphasis on rationality and Hegel’s systematizing ambitions that he felt left no place for the indi- vidual. He instead called for a lived commitment and ‘a leap of faith’ that he insisted involved facing up to the prospect of ‘dread’. 1843 Kierkegaard, Either/Or (2 vols). Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling. 1844 Kierkegaard, The Concept of Dread. Kierkegaard, Philosophical Fragments. 1845 Kierkegaard, Stages on Life’s Way. 1846 Kierkegaard, Concluding Unscientifi c Postscript. Marx and Engels, The German Ideology. 1848 Marx and Engels, The Communist Manifesto. 1849 Kierkegaard, The Sickness unto Death. 1872 Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) argued for a more Dionysian and excessive relation to the world, in op- position to the Apollonian rationality that he thought unduly dominant. In his later books, he diagnosed the ressentiment and slave morality affl icting his times, and tried to encourage a more life-affi rmative relation to the world through provocative ideas such as the will to power, the eternal return of the same, and the Übermensch. 373 99780826438454_CH17_Finals_txt_Prf.indd780826438454_CH17_Finals_txt_Prf.indd 337373 55/11/2011/11/2011 55:23:02:23:02 PPMM The Continuum Companion to Existentialism 1874 Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment and The Idiot. Tolstoy, War and Peace. 1878 Nietzsche, Human All Too Human. 1880 Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov. 1881 Nietzsche, Daybreak. 1882 Nietzsche, The Gay Science. 1883 Dilthey, The Introduction to the Human Sciences. 1883–1885 Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. 1885 Marx, Capital vol. 2. 1886 Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil. 1887 Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals. Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych. 1888 Nietzsche, The Case of Wagner, Twilight of the Idols, Ecce Homo and The Anti-Christ. 1896 Bergson, Matter and Memory. 1900–1901 Husserl, Logical Investigations. Edmund Husserl (1859–1938) was the founder of phenom- enology, a way of thinking that focuses on our experiences and tries to discern the essences of such experiences. Hus- serl’s work, and particularly his Logical Investigations and Ideas (1913), were taken up in very different ways by Heide- gger (who was his student and assistant for a time), Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and many other philosophers associated with existential phenomenology. 1913 Freud, Totem and Taboo. Husserl, Ideas Pertaining to a Pure Phenomenology and to a Phenom- enological Philosophy book 1. Basque philosopher Unamuno published his The Tragic Sense of Life in Men and Nations. Jaspers, General Psychopathology. Writing his early works around the time of the First World War, German philosopher Karl Jaspers (1883–1969) developed the notion of Existenz, arguing that we have no fi xed or essential self; the self is instead only its possibilities and what it might become. The revelation of the lack of any essential self is best revealed in ‘limit situations’, which include death, suffering and guilt. 1925 Kafka, The Trial. 374 99780826438454_CH17_Finals_txt_Prf.indd780826438454_CH17_Finals_txt_Prf.indd 337474 55/11/2011/11/2011 55:23:03:23:03 PPMM A Chronology of Key Events, Texts and Thinker 1927 Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) published his famous existential work, Being and Time, which immediately attracted great interest in Germany, concerned as it was with moods, facing up to the pros- pect of one’s own death, and with how these phenomena shed light on a question that he thought Western philosophy had forgotten – the question of Being. Gabriel Marcel’s Metaphysical Journal was published, arguably the fi rst work of French existentialism. 1929 Mexican philosopher Jose Gaos’s translation of Scheler’s The Place of Man in the Cosmos into Spanish – it became one of the most widely read books in Latin America. Fritz Heinemann’s New Paths in Philosophy, in which (he later claimed) he was the fi rst to use the term ‘philosophy of existence’ (Existenzphilosophie). 1930 Jean Wahl, The Unhappiness of Consciousness in the Philosophy of Hegel. This book began to popularize Hegel in France and infl u- enced the view of human being as unhappy consciousness found in Sartre and other existentialists. Emmanuel Levinas’s translation of Husserl’s Cartesian Medita- tions into French, which made the methods of phenomenology available to philosophers like Sartre and Merleau-Ponty. 1932 Jaspers, Philosophy (3 vols). 1933 Heidegger was made Rector of the University of Freiburg. At the time he was a supporter of Nazism and made several controversial comments (and introduced policies) that seem to many to have been anti-Semitic. 1935 Jaspers, Reason and Existenz. Marcel, Being and Having. 1932–1939 Alexandre Kojève lectured on Hegel in France, bringing the notion of the ‘master–slave’ dialectic to prominence in this country, along with a more ‘existential’ understanding of Hegel that emphasized, in a Heideggerian manner, the importance for human freedom of confronting the prospect of one’s own death. His seminars were attended by almost all of the major French intellectual fi gures of the time, although possibly not Sartre. 1936 Jaspers, Nietzsche: An Introduction to the Understanding of His Philosophical Activity. This book is an important source for the ‘existentialist’ interpretation of Nietzsche. 375 99780826438454_CH17_Finals_txt_Prf.indd780826438454_CH17_Finals_txt_Prf.indd 337575 55/11/2011/11/2011 55:23:03:23:03 PPMM The Continuum Companion to Existentialism 1937 Sartre, The Transcendence of the Ego. Here Sartre (1905–1980) dis- tances himself from aspects of Husserlian phenomenology and begins to develop his own original account of phenomenology. 1938 Sartre’s remarkably evocative novel Nausea was published to widespread acclaim. Publication of Jean Wahl’s Kierkegaardian Studies helped to popu- larize the little-known Danish philosopher in France. 1939 Borge’s essay ‘Pierre Menard, Author of Quixote’ – a major infl u- 1939–1944 ence on Latin America’s existentialist philosophers and writers. The Second World War and the German occupation of France. Both Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908–1961) and Sartre did military service, and in 1940 Sartre was captured and imprisoned and there he continued to study Heidegger’s Being and Time. 1940s Jose Ortega y Gasset’s student, Julian Marius, coined the term ‘exist entialist or personal novel’. 1941–1949 Sartre quickly attained a greater fame on the basis of his novels, as well as plays like Flies (1943) and No Exit (1944) but also be- cause of his political engagement. He, de Beauvoir and Merleau- Ponty were the founders and co-editors of the infl uential pol- itical, literary and philosophical magazine, Les Temps Modernes. 1942 Albert Camus (1913–1960) published his philosophical treatise on the absurd, The Myth of Sisyphus, which argued, among other things, that the only truly serious philosophical question is whether or not to commit suicide. Published in the same year, his compelling novella, The Outsider, was, however, more signifi - cant in bringing the mood of existentialism to a wider audience. 1943 Sartre’s philosophical magnus opus, Being and Nothingness, was completed, and it quickly became the core text of French exist- entialism, preoccupied as it is with freedom, responsibility and authenticity. Gabriel Marcel coined the term existentialiste to describe Sartre in his review of Being and Nothingness in Les Tempes Modernes. Heidegger’s Being and Time translated into Spanish by Mexican philosopher Jose Gaos, thus making it available to Latin America 19 years before the English translation. De Beauvoir’s ‘metaphysical novel’ She Came to Stay (contains a version of the phenomenological proof of other minds). 1944 Sartre’s play No Exit (contains the famous line ‘Hell is other people’). 376 99780826438454_CH17_Finals_txt_Prf.indd780826438454_CH17_Finals_txt_Prf.indd 337676 55/11/2011/11/2011 55:23:03:23:03 PPMM A Chronology of Key Events, Texts and Thinker 1945 Merleau-Ponty published his very important book, Phenom- enology of Perception, which both endorsed and subtly refi ned Sartrean existentialism by focusing upon the signifi cance of our embodiment. De Beauvoir’s novel, The Blood of Others. Sartre’s public lecture ‘Existentialism is a Humanism’ at the Club Maintenant helped to popularize existentialism when it was later published in an inexpensive volume. It also gave exist entialism a more optimistic tenor – one which Heidegger later rebuffed. 1946 De Beauvoir’s novel, All Men are Mortal. Jean Wahl’s lecture ‘A Short History of Existentialism’ at the Club Maintenant, with responses by Nikolai Berdyaev, Georges Gurvitch and Emmanuel Levinas. 1947 Simone de Beauvoir (1908–1986) published The Ethics of Ambigu- ity, which developed the ethical signifi cance of existentialism. Heidegger’s essay, Letter on Humanism (reply to Sartre). Buber, Between Man and Man. Levinas, Existence and Existents. Merleau-Ponty, Humanism and Terror.

  • Post-War Argentinian Philosophical Debates and the Peripheral Condition
    Post-war Argentinian Philosophical Debates and the Peripheral Condition Clara Ruvituso1 Abstract: In this paper we propose a reflection on the condition of written philoso- phy in Latin America, analysing the philosophical essays of three central Argentinian scholars: Francisco Romero, Carlos Astrada and Rodolfo Kusch during the controver- sial political context of first Peronism (1946-1955). The salient focus is the analysis of the ways in which these philosophers confronted the question of Latin American philosophy, in particular the role of the Western tradition in crisis and the question of the European, mestizo and indigenous heritage, linking these ideas with their political positions and mutual influences within the academic field. Finally, we propose some reflections on the possibility to write philosophy in Latin America within strong cen- tre/periphery structures and political polarisations, analysing how these factors could operate by connection and disconnection within the construction of the Argentinian philosophical field. Introduction In 1926, the Argentinian philosopher Coriolano Alberini was the first and only Latin-American professor invited to participate in the VI International Congress of Philosophy at Harvard. He aroused curiosity from the international community speaking for the first time in Spanish at an international philosophical conference. At the beginning of his speech about the role of philosophy in international relations he spoke provocatively about the importance of Spanish as a language in the USA, spoken by millions of people in that country and across the rest of the continent. On his return to Argentina, Alberini criticised the anti-(North)Americanism that had expanded throughout Latin American intellectual circles: \It is surprising that the USA, in spite of its mate- rial opulence, has for many years an artistic, scientific and philosophical history that is respected in Europe.

    Socio Debate Revista de Ciencias Sociales Año 1-Nº 1 Junio-Julio de 2015 Url: www.feej.org/sociodebate Carlos Astrada y el proyecto político peronista. Una lectura sobre la esencia argentina y la doctrina oficial de la “tercera posición” en la obra del filósofo* Martín Prestía1 Recibido: 27-04-2015 Aceptado: 12-06-2015 Resumen El propósito del presente trabajo es realizar una reflexión y problematización del pensamiento de Carlos Astrada en su relación con la política en el contexto de los primeros gobiernos peronistas. Esa etapa se configura como el momento más álgido de su relación con el poder, acercamiento que lo llevará a asumir el papel de filósofo de Estado, con la pretensión de desarrollar una cosmovisión que funcionara como aglutinadora del movimiento, un pensamiento nacional - vinculado con la tradición filosófica universal- que proveyera sustento y autoconciencia al proyecto político del peronismo. El análisis busca, a través de la exégesis de textos de Astrada y su inscripción en el contexto ideológico y filosófico de la época, arrojar luz sobre el papel del pensador durante el peronismo, el rol histórico que le otorga al movimiento, y algunas de las tensiones de este proceso político. En ese marco, se hará énfasis en las reflexiones en torno a lo que Astrada caracteriza como la esencia argentina y la vinculación que traza de la misma con su presente histórico. Asimismo, se revisarán sus desarrollos acerca del problema de la guerra y la paz, en el contexto oficial de la doctrina de la tercera posición. Palabras clave: Carlos Astrada; peronismo; filosofía política; mito; tercera posición.

  • Effects of the Agrégation De Philosophie on Twentieth- Century French Philosophy
    Effects of the Agrégation de Philosophie on Twentieth- Century French Philosophy AL A N D . S C HRI ft much attention has been paid to developments in French philosophy over the past half century, and it has been frequently noted that the recent history of French philosophy differs significantly from its counterparts in England, Germany, and the United States. While many reasons for these differences have been suggested, in what follows I would like to suggest that there is an important and unique French institution—one with no equivalent in the English-speaking or German academic systems—that has had a significant impact on developments in French philosophy throughout the twentieth century. This institution is the Agrégation de Philosophie, and its effects are virtually unknown among philosophers outside France. Even within France—while knowledge of and experience with the agréga- tion is part of the intellectual formation and career of virtually every academic educated in France, including every philosopher teaching in a university and the majority of philosophers teaching the classe de philosophie in French lycées—French philosophers themselves seem relatively unaware and uninterested in the history of the agrégation and the effects that this history has had on philosophical practices in France. What I hope to do in the following pages is explain how the agréga- tion de philosophie works, and suggest that its impact on the education of French philosophy students and the teaching corps in both the university and lycée helps explain a number of developments in French philosophy over the past century. I will also explain why the French philosophical tradition differs from its American counterpart in some very significant ways.

His figure of "the hermit in a poet's metaphors" signaled his desire that readers journey to seek out and find answers to the questions posed by his intricately plotted lines. I have been studying Stevens for about forty years, and just recently found a path to one of his richest sources. Stevens's relationship with Jean Wahl in connection with Les Entretiens de Pontigny conference at Mount Holyoke College in 1943 has been remarked by many, including Stanley Cavell. What has not been given attention, however, is the depth of the poet's indebtedness to Wahl. Readers have wondered, for example, where Stevens came to his knowledge of Heidegger, whom he had not read. I realize now that it would have been through Stevens's relationship with Wahl, which began before the Pontigny occasion and continued until the poet's death.

  • Latin American Philosophy by Alexander V
    Page 1 of 17 Latin American Philosophy by Alexander V. Stehn (University of Texas Rio Grande Valley) This article outlines the history of Latin American philosophy: the thinking of its indigenous peoples, the debates over conquest and colonization, the arguments for national independence in the eighteenth century, the challenges of nation-building and modernization in the nineteenth century, the concerns over various forms of development in the twentieth century, and the diverse interests in Latin American philosophy during the opening decades of the twenty-first century. Rather than attempt to provide an exhaustive and impossibly long list of scholars’ names and dates, this article outlines the history of Latin American philosophy while trying to provide a meaningful sense of detail by focusing briefly on individual thinkers whose work points to broader philosophical trends that are inevitably more complex and diverse than any encyclopedic treatment can hope to capture. The term “Latin American philosophy” refers broadly to philosophy in, from, or about Latin America. However, the definitions of both “Latin America” and “philosophy” are historically fluid and contested, leading to even more disagreement when combined. “Latin America” typically refers to the geographic areas on the American continent where languages derived from Latin are widely spoken: Portuguese in Brazil, and Spanish in most of Central America, South America, and parts of the Caribbean. The French- speaking parts of the Caribbean are sometimes included as well, but all mainland North American regions north of the Rio Grande are excluded in spite of French being widely spoken in Canada. Although it is anachronistic to speak of Latin American philosophy before the 1850s when the term “Latin America” first entered usage, most scholars agree that Latin American philosophy extends at least as far back as the sixteenth century when the Spanish founded the first schools and seminaries in the “New World”.

  • Sobre Los Inicios De Un Revisionismo Filosófico En Argentina Y Sus Derivas Políticas: Homero Guglielmini, Saúl Taborda Y Carlos Astrada
    Vol 8, Nº 14 (2020) ISSN 2169-0847 (online) Lucas Domínguez Rubio Centro de Documentación e Investigación de la Cultura de Izquierdas (CeDInCI)/Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSAM)/Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) [email protected] Sobre los inicios de un revisionismo filosófico en Argentina y sus derivas políticas: Homero Guglielmini, Saúl Taborda y Carlos Astrada On the Beginnings of a Philosophical Revisionism in Argentina and its Political Commitments: Homero Guglielmini, Saúl Taborda, and Carlos Astrada Resumen El presente artículo analiza los principales textos que con distintos intereses ideológicos funcionaron como iniciadores de un particular ensayismo filosófico organizacionista y anti- liberal en la Argentina desde espacios académicos y universitarios. Sus autores, Saúl Taborda (1885-1943), Homero Guglielmini (1903-1968) y Carlos Astrada (1894-1971) tuvieron una trayectoria teórica y política en buena medida común. Primero desarrollaron sus textos en términos nietzscheanos y soreleanos. Más tarde se interesaron en el romanticismo alemán y la obra de Heidegger. En este arco, desde la década de 1920 cuando estuvieron a cargo de incipientes revistas filosóficas y vanguardistas hasta el momento en que Astrada y Guglielmini se convirtieron de en dos de las más importantes plumas oficialistas del gobierno de Juan Domingo Perón, estos autores mantuvieron sus intereses anti-iluministas y anti-liberales, con los cuales se opusieron a los estudios históricos como modo de indagación. Frente a ellos, desarrollaron un ensayismo filosófico no histórico que el presente artículo periodiza y caracteriza en oposición al más estudiado revisionismo histórico. A diferencia de estos últimos, los filósofos no reaccionaron frente a las continuas olas inmigratorias, sino más bien a los proyectos políticos foráneos.

  • French Nietzscheanism and the Emergence of Poststructuralism
    1 French Nietzscheanism and the Emergence of Poststructuralism Alan D. Schrift Grinnell College 1968 may be the watershed year in recent French cultural history, but by the time French students began tearing up the cobblestones of the Latin Quarter and occupying the Sorbonne, a philosophical revolution that would change the course of French philosophy for the remainder of the 20th century was already well under way: in 1966, Michel Foucault published The Order of Things; that same year, in October, Jacques Derrida presented “Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences” at the critically important conference on “Languages of Criticism and the Sciences of Man” at Johns Hopkins University, and the following year saw the publication of his triumvirate Of Grammatology, Writing and Difference, and Speech and Phenomena; and Gilles Deleuze’s two theses – Difference and Repetition and Spinoza and the Problem of Expression – while published in 1968, were completed before the events of May. What these works announce is the posting of structuralism, that is, a distinctly philosophical response to the challenge posed to philosophical thinking by the emergence of structuralism as the dominant intellectual paradigm in the late 1950s, and collectively they set the philosophical agenda for the remainder of the century in terms of what we, outside France, refer to as “French philosophy.” There are a number of stories that might be told about the emergence of structuralism, but I’d like to highlight one – namely, that structuralism rose in popularity proportionate to the fall from hegemony within the French academic and intellectual world of philosophy as the master discourse.

  • Jean Wahl (1888–1974) Michel Weberi
    Jean Wahl (1888–1974) Michel Weberi Jean Wahl was born in Marseille, France, where his father, who was professor of English, succeeded to Mallarmé. He studied in the lycée Janson de Sailly (Paris) and, after a preparatory year in the lycée Louis-le-Grand (Paris), he entered the École normale supérieure (Ulm) in 1907. In 1910 he became “agrégé de philosophie” (first in his year, just before his good friend Gabriel Marcel, 1889–1973). Docteur ès lettres in 1920 with a thesis devoted to Les Philosophies pluralistes d’Angleterre et d’Amérique (translated into English by Fred Rothwell as The Pluralist Philosophies of England and America, London: Open Court, 1925) and a supplementary thesis (“Thèse complémentaire”) on Descartes’ concept of the instant (Le Rôle de l'Idée de l'Instant dans la Philosophie de Descartes). He then successively taught in secondary schools (“lycées” in Saint-Quentin, Tours and Le Mans), in the universities of Besançon, Nancy, Lyon, and finally at the Sorbonne—from 1936 to 1967. His career was interrupted, however, by World War II: first, by the exodus of May 1940; second, in December when Vichy ordered the retirement of all university professors with Jewish roots; third, in July 1941 when he was arrested by the Gestapo, imprisoned and finally interned at the Drancy deportation camp (north-east of Paris), from where he was released in November thanks to the mobilization of his fmily and friends. He then left for the U.S. where he taught from 1942 to 1945 at New York’s New School for Social Research, Smith College, Mount Holyoke College (where he created the Decades inspired by the famous “Décades de Pontigny”) and Pennsylvania State College.

  • 1.9 Andreas Vrahimis
    Journal for the History of “Was There a Sun Before Men Existed?” Analytical Philosophy A.J. Ayer and French Philosophy in the Fifties Volume 1, Number 9 Andreas Vrahimis In contrast to many of his contemporaries, A. J. Ayer was an ana- Editor in Chief lytic philosopher who had sustained throughout his career some Mark Textor, King’s College London interest in developments in the work of his “continental” peers. Ayer, who spoke French, held friendships with some important Parisian intellectuals, such as Camus, Bataille, Wahl and Merleau- Editorial Board Ponty. This paper examines the circumstances of a meeting be- Juliet Floyd, Boston University tween Ayer, Merleau-Ponty, Wahl, Ambrosino and Bataille, which Greg Frost-Arnold, Hobart and William Smith Colleges took place in 1951 at some Parisian bar.
