  • Re-Thinking Ideology
    Call for Papers: International Summer School Critical Theory 2018 (JULY 15 – JULY 20) RE-THINKING IDEOLOGY Why do people often accept, and even embrace, social and political conditions that seem to run counter to their own interests? How is it possible that we sometimes support forms of domination with our ways of behaving and thinking without intending or even realizing it? One answer to these questions refers to the notion of ideology. Ideologies are more or less coherent systems of practices and beliefs that shape how individuals relate to their social reality in ways that distort their understanding of what is wrong with that reality and thereby contribute to its reproduction. The summer school will seek to clarify the meanings and theoretical roles of ideology, as the concept has been prominently developed from the writings of Marx via Critical Theory in the tradition of the Frankfurt School to more recent debates in feminism and analytic philosophy. Key contemporary protagonists of ideology critique like Sally Haslanger, Robert Gooding-Williams, Axel Honneth, Alice Crary, Karen Ng, Titus Stahl, Robin Celikates, Martin Saar and Rahel Jaeggi will be present at the summer school and facilitate debates both of key texts from canonical authors and of their own systematic positions. We will discuss questions such as: What is ideology and in which sense are ideologies false or deficient? How do ideologies come into existence and how do they function? On which basis and from which standpoint can ideologies be criticized? What is the continuing

It specifically focuses on neoliberal, ordoliberal and neo-Marxist visions of politics and rationality from the interwar period to the recent Eurocrisis. Beginning with the Methodenstreit (or “methodological dispute”) between Gustav von Schmoller and Carl Menger and the subsequent “socialist calculation debate” about markets and planning, the dissertation charts the political and epistemological formation of the Austrian School (e.g., Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich A.

  • The Concept of Critique in Critical Theory
    Outhwaite W. Generations of Critical Theory? Berlin Journal of Critical Theory 2017, 1(1), 5-27. Copyright: ©2017. With permission granted from the publisher, this is the accepted manuscript of an article published by Berlin Journal of Critical Theory. weblink to article: http://www.bjct.de/home.html Date deposited: 25/08/2017 Newcastle University ePrints - eprint.ncl.ac.uk Generations of Critical Theory? This journal is oriented to re-evaluating early critical theory and is therefore an appropriate place to pose some questions about the periodisation of critical theory as a whole. Whether or not one accepts a generational model with Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse et al in the first generation, Habermas, Apel and Wellmer in the second and Honneth, Fraser and a cluster of other German and North American theorists in the third, a model powerfully criticised in relation to Habermas by Stefan Müller-Doohm (2017), there is general agreement that Habermas’s project has always been substantially diferent from that of the earlier critical theorists – themselves of course quite differentiated despite Horkheimer’s somewhat managerial attempts to present them as a team. But whereas Horkheimer’s earlier opposition to Habermas was based on anxiety that he was too radical and outspoken (Müller-Doohm 2016: 80-88), later commentators have polarised roughly between those who see Habermas’s project as a continuation of critical theory in a different mode more adapted to the realities of postwar advanced capitalist societies with their apparently stable liberal polities and those who see it as an abandonment of some of the more radical motifs of earlier critical theory.

The Case for Critique: Syllabus Course description This course investigates the idea of immanent critique. We will consider forms of criticism that start from conceptual resources of actual or historical social practices, and we will take seriously the possibility that—although these forms of criticism lack the socially transcendent reach laid claim to by various familiar views that draw their main inspiration from Kant, and so might be said not to qualify as ‘external’—they are not merely ‘internal’ in a sense that would deprive them of genuine rational authority. The idea of immanent critique, thus understood, is sometimes rejected as no more than an illusion. Thinkers such as Hegel and Wittgenstein, who treat our normative positions as practice-bound, are often taken to be thereby depriving themselves of the requisite resources for a critical approach that is wholeheartedly rational. But both Hegel and Wittgenstein are plausibly read as insisting on a transformed image of rational critique is like—an image that straightforwardly combines an ineradicable link to practice with unqualified rational authority. Exploring this possibility and its consequences is the task of this seminar. Course readings will include classic and contemporary contributions to Critical Theory as well as contributions to Anglo- American analytic disputes about philosophy and the social sciences.

    PROLEGOMENON FOR AN ETHICS OF VISIBILITY IN HANNAH ARENDT* Bethânia Assy** ABSTRACT This paper aims to discuss the Arendtian notions of appearance and perception in order to promote a displacement of those conceptions from the generally associated domain of passive apprehension of the faculty of knowledge towards the domain of a praxiology of action and language, based on an active perception. Arendt’s appropriations on the Heideggerian “to take one’s <it> place” (sich hin-stellen) will be discussed, as well as the Augustinian “finding oneself in the world” (diligere). A twofold disposition of appearance will be distinguished: producing and position, whose transposed to the Arendtian notion of world correspond, respectively, to fabrication (poiesis) of the world, man’s objective in-between space, and to action (praxis) in the world, man’s subjective in-between space. Those conceptual replacements, in a broad sense, uphold a closer imbrication between the activities of the mind and acting, stricto sensu, and consequently, foment not only the valorization of the public space, but the visibility of our acts and deeds as well, calling out the dignity of appearance in ethics. Key-words Ethics of visibility, Hannah Arendt, Martin Heidegger, Active Perception, Appearance * Paper delivered at Prof. Axel Honneth’s Forschungskolloquium zur Sozialphilosophie in the Philosophy Department at Frankfurt University during my stay as visiting scholar in the Summer Semester/2003. An the same occasion this paper was also delivered at Kolloquium des Hannah Arendt-Zentrums, at the Carl Von Ossietzky University, Oldenburg, directed by Antonia Grunenberg. I am particularly in debt to the comments of Antonia Grunenberg, Hans Scheulen, Zoltan Szankay, Francisco Ortega, Axel Honneth, Rainer Forst and Rahel Jaeggi.

  • Critical Theory
    Nordic Wittgenstein Review 7 (1) 2018 | pp. 7-41 | DOI 10.15845/nwr.v7i1.3493 INVITED PAPER Alice Crary alicecrary @ yahoo.com Wittgenstein Goes to Frankfurt (and Finds Something Useful to Say) Abstract This article aims to shed light on some core challenges of liberating social criticism. Its centerpiece is an intuitively attractive account of the nature and difficulty of critical social thought that nevertheless goes missing in many philosophical conversations about such thought. This omission at bottom reflects the fact that the account presupposes a philosophically contentious conception of rationality. Yet the relevant conception of rationality does in fact inform influential philosophical treatments of social criticism, including, very prominently, a left Hegelian strand of thinking within contemporary Critical Theory. Moreover, it is possible to mount a defense of the conception by reconstructing, if with various qualifications and additions, an argument from classic – mid twentieth-century – Anglo-American philosophy of the social sciences, in particular, the argument that forms the backbone of Peter Winch’s The Idea of a Social Science. Winch draws his guiding insights from the later philosophy of Wittgenstein, and one of the payoffs of considering Winch’s Wittgenstein-inspired work against the backdrop of Hegel-inspired work in Critical Theory is to contest the artificial professional strictures that are sometimes taken to speak against reaching across the so-called ‘Continental Divide’ in philosophy. The larger payoff is advancing, by means of this philosophically ecumenical approach, the enterprise of liberating social thought. 1. The Idea of Widely Rational Critique It is plausible but by no means uncontroversial to suggest that liberating social criticism needs to be conceived so that it is capable 7 Alice Crary CC-BY of harnessing the cognitive power of critical gestures that shape our sense of what is important, inviting us to see social phenomena in new moral and political lights.
