  • 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.

  • 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.

We have moved, we suppose, beyond grappling with the Heidegger of Being and Time . And we also tend to suppose a fairly regular recurrence of scandal—the current instantiation infl amed by the recent publication of Heidegger’s private, philosophical, Tagebücher, invokes what the editor of these recently published ‘black notebooks’ attempts to distinguish as Heidegger’s ‘historial antisemitism’ — ‘historial’ here serving to identify Heidegger’s references to World Jewry in one of the volumes.

  • 1 Heraclitus, Seaford and Reversible Exchange Abstract in This Essay We Identify a Characteristic Pattern of Heraclitus' Thoug
    Heraclitus, Seaford and Reversible Exchange Abstract In this essay we identify a characteristic pattern of Heraclitus’ thought and language, the “figure of reversible exchange”. We suggest that this figure allows Heraclitus to propose an ontological structure consisting of two intersecting circuits of relations: a pre-temporal reversible exchange between Being and Becoming and between One and Many, and a temporal reversible exchange within the Many as the very process of Becoming. Against Richard Seaford’s interpretation of Heraclitus’ thought as a reflection of a new world-view predicated on universal exchange-value, the Heraclitus fragments will be read as suggesting that exchange-value emerges within rhythms of concrete, temporal use-value. We shall argue that this instantiates the wider relation Heraclitus proposes between Being and Becoming. Keywords: Heraclitus; Richard Seaford; Money; Reversible Exchange Author biographies: Chris Kassam was at the time of writing a PhD student at Trinity College, Cambridge, working on Nietzsche's engagement with early Greek philosophy. His background was in literary criticism and critical theory. Robbie Duschinsky is University Lecturer in Social Sciences at Cambridge University, and a Fellow of Sidney Sussex College. Acknowledgments: Chris Kassam would like to thank Raymond Geuss, Adrian Poole, Kathy Wheeler and Malcolm Schofield for their insightful and generous supervision of this work. 1 Introduction A ‘figure of reversible exchange’ can be discerned in the fragments of Heraclitus, Again and again we encounter this rhetorical pattern: in the first part of a fragment multiplicity is framed and contained within unity, only for this movement subsequently to be inverted. This inversion, a chiasmus, is not merely a discursive tool of emphasis through contrast; its usage in forming watery and unstable contrasts between the Many and the One, and between Becoming and Being, suggests that the figure operates in Heraclitus with metaphysical stakes.

  • The Problem of Socrates Readable and Engaging, Both for the Philosophical and the Literary Audience
    i 11 I PIi 10 (2000), 267-275. 'I I 266 PIi 10 (2000) J I! This is not to say that Morgan's explorations of radical evil, Egyptian pyramids, regicide, talion law and so on are not interesting, nor that they are unconnected to the architectonic metaphor she wants to deconstruct. Her exploration of these "very heterogeneous themes" (as Morgan herself 13 describes them ) is in fact fascinating for anyone interested in Kant, and the way she draws them together is generally convincing. Her prose is The Problem of Socrates readable and engaging, both for the philosophical and the literary audience. It's just that there are too many heterogeneous themes, and too Sarah Kofman, Socrates: Fictions of a Philosopher, Translated by many textual references, to analyze adequately in one fairly short book Catherine Porter (London: Athlone, 1998) without the analysis seeming scattered and incomplete. If the reader is left I with a sense of frustration at the end of Kant Trouble, it is not because JOHN SELLARS Morgan has revealed the principle of crumbling at the foundation of II I 1 Kant's system, but because she has failed to give her most interesting points the attention they deserve. One wants both more and less of Morgan: more analysis of Kant's II!! They say that Socrates, texts within the limitations of a single thematic cluster, and less 1 having heard Plato reading from his Lysis, said, wandering through her extensive library. This is my one reservation about '1 this otherwise enticing, original, and interesting book. The obvious "By Heracles, how many lies this young man says about me".1 I question, the one about the philosophical validity of asserting the instability of the Kantian edifice on the basis of the metaphors he uses, seems to be precluded by the genre of cultural studies, under which even For many people Socrates is the archetypal philosopher, the patron saint a comparative analysis of Kant and Gainsborough might be applauded.
