What is more, he also develops those ideas further than anyone else I can think of, adding his own insights as he goes along. The result is a coherent and compelling defense of second-orderism. I would certainly recommend this book to any philosopher interested in ontological commitment or second-order logic, and given its clarity, I would recommend Part II to students as well. —Robert Trueman, Robinson College, Cambridge LUMSDEN, Simon.

  • 467 Viewing the Premises Richard L. Velkley. Heidegger, Strauss
    Review Articles / Research in Phenomenology 42 (2012) 411–477 467 Viewing the Premises Richard L. Velkley. Heidegger, Strauss, and the Premises of Philosophy: On Original Forgetting. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2011. 203 pp. One of the signal merits of Richard Velkley’s Heidegger, Strauss, and The Premises of Philosophy: On Original Forgetting is that it makes impossible any further contention—by readers of Heidegger and Strauss respectively—that the philosophical relationship between the two thinkers is insignificant or irrelevant. Moreover, Velkley’s book shows that Strauss’ critique of Heidegger is actually of a piece with certain affirmative philosophical views that he learned from Heidegger (both directly and indirectly). The aim of this review is to show the importance of Strauss for Heidegger research.1 If readers of Heidegger know nothing else about Strauss’ view of Heide- gger, they are familiar with the following passage (given by Strauss in 1970): “[Heidegger’s] key term is ‘resoluteness,’ without any indication as to the proper objects of resoluteness. There is a straight line which leads from Heide- gger’s resoluteness to his siding with the so-called Nazis in 1933.”2 Another great merit of Velkley’s book is to unpack this critique in a philosophical, rather than political, manner. In so doing, Velkley shows both the shared philosophical trajectory to which Heidegger and Strauss belong and the sub- stantive issues that divide them. At stake is nothing less than the differing conceptions of philosophy as a way of life. These conceptions can be given an initial indication through juxtaposing Heidegger’s statement to the effect that the role of philosophy today is “not to talk about questions, but to act questioningly”3 with Strauss’ statement that “today it is perhaps better .

    PARRHESIA WWW.PARRHESIAJOURNAL.ORG ISSUE 11 2011 PARRHESIA NUMBER 11 • 2011 • 1-34 THE WORK AND THE IDEA Miguel de Beistegui Editorial Note. The text presented here is the first chapter of an upcoming book by the author. The editorial board would like to thank Professor de Beistegui for allowing us to publish it here; our thanks also go to Robert Sinnerbrink for facilitating its publication. INTRODUCTION This book attempts to show that it is through the recognition of what I call the hypersensible, and the work of metaphor, that art comes into its own, and is able to twist free of metaphysical aesthetics, rooted in the ontology of identity and governed by the laws of imitation. By “hypersensible” I mean a dimension that escapes the classical distinction and the space that stretches between the sensible and the supersensible, matter and form, or the image and the original. In a nutshell, the hypersensible designates the excess of the sensible within the sensible, and the genuine matter of art. As such, it escapes any straightforward materialism, as well as any form of idealism, or spiritualism. It could be characterised as hyletics. For reasons that I will clarify later on, I prefer to refer to it as an aesthetics of metaphor, or a metaphoric. Why metaphor? Simply because, twisting free of its own, deeply entrenched metaphysical interpretation, metaphor can be seen as the image or trope, applicable to art in general, which reveals the excess of the sensible in the sensible, or the way in which any given image is virtually more than it actually is.

    the exchange the murphy institute tulane university Volume 14, No. 1 Fall 2016 Thirty Years of Core Courses, Core Strengths THE MURPHY INSTITUTE’S POLITICAL ECONOMY PROGRAM has now graduated 30 classes of political economy majors. While they have gone on to work in a variety of careers, they have all benefitted from the political economy program’s core courses, taught by some of Tulane’s leading faculty. Multidisciplinary programs such as the program in Political Economy at The Murphy Institute face the challenge of preserving the integrity of the curriculum in the face of the plethora of electives available to our students. Over the years we have met this challenge by creating and maintaining an effective core of required courses that allow our students to develop skills that reflect each of our constitutive disciplines: Economics, Political Science, Philosophy, and History. Our five-course core Political Economy sequence begins with pecn 3010, Positive Political Economy. Formerly known as Introduction to Political Economy, this course has been retitled to better reflect its content. Positive political economy seeks to understand and predict policy outcomes and political behavior using tools and concepts from economics. Using this approach, the course Select readings from The Murphy’ Institute’s Political Economy program examines how institutional constraints in the continued on next page THIRTY YEARS OF CORE COURSES, CORE STRENGTHS THE MURPHY INSTITUTE (continued from page 1) Core Faculty political environment affect the choices of these actors and the resulting Steven M.

  • Deleuze and Anarchism and Anarchism Deleuze Edited by Chantelle Gray Van Heerden and Aragorn Eloff
    Deleuze Connections Deleuze Deleuze Connections Series Editor: Ian Buchanan and Deleuze and Anarchism Anarchism Deleuze Edited by Chantelle Gray van Heerden and Aragorn Eloff ’With pleasing rigour and sly provocation, this essential volume frees the child from Oedipal jail. The child now boldly, and no less beautifully, lucidly sits in and Anarchism radical hands.’ Kathryn Bond Stockton, University of Utah ‘This timely new book frees the affective play of childhood from the conceptual persona of the child, reminding readers that the age of childhood never passes. Herein lies a strategy, reiterated on every page, for the invention of new social and political worlds grounded in the praxis of the becoming-child.’ Cameron Duff, RMIT University The first collection of essays to focus on Deleuze’s writing on children and childhood This collection gives an accessible account of the key characterisations of children and childhood made in Deleuze and Guattari‘s work. These concepts are then van Heerden and Eloff applied to concerns that have shaped the child in various disciplines and in interdisciplinary scholarship. Bringing together established and new voices, the essays take up concepts from Deleuze and Guattari’s work to question the popular idea that children are innocent adults-in-the-making caught in an Oedipal grid. Authors working in philosophy, literature, education, sociology, gender and sexuality, music and film studies consider aspects of children‘s lives such as time, language, affect, atmosphere, gender, sexuality and schooling, offering critical approaches to the pervasive interest in the teleology of upward growth of the child. Markus P. J. Bohlmann is Professor of English at Seneca College, Toronto, Canada.
