  • An Interview with Bonnie Honig
    DOI: 10.5840/philtoday201510990 Online First: Ordinary Emergences in Democratic Theory: An Interview with Bonnie Honig DIEGO ROSSELLO Abstract: In contrast to framings of the political that emphasize heroic action or emergency’s exceptionalism, Bonnie Honig’s agonistic democracy is linked to ordi- nary emergences and the sororal bond. In this interview, Honig explores the political potential of the ordinary in Franz Rosenzweig’s theology of the everyday, as well as in the work of feminist theorists and writers such as Hanna Pitkin and Adrienne Rich. Commenting on her reading of the relation between Antigone and Ismene in the famous tragedy by Sophocles, Honig also addresses the sororal bond in times of exception. Finally, she extends her argument on the everyday to a discussion of public things and anticipates ideas of her ongoing project on Arendt’s essay “The Jew as Pariah.” Key words: democracy, emergence, ordinary, things, Arendt, Antigone political scientist working at the intersection of political theory and the critical humanities, Bonnie Honig is Nancy Duke Lewis Profes- A sor of Modern Culture and Media, and Political Science, at Brown University.

Dienstag, Chair Within liberal political theory there is a general sense that death’s meaning should be kept strictly private, ‘quarantined’ from political life; yet whether we are comfortable with the idea or not, attitudes about death powerfully shape how individuals engage in political relationships and practices. Mortal Democracy thus provides a way of acknowledging death directly as a part of contemporary political life, one amenable to democratic practices. I develop three distinct political accounts of death and its political meaning from Friedrich Nietzsche, Max Weber, and Hannah Arendt; each read alongside an interlocutor from ancient Greek thought. The first chapter “The Wisdom of Silenus: Friedrich Nietzsche and The Politics of Death” develops a Nietzschean adaptation of Homeric “beautiful death,” where persons are capable of transforming the contingent, painful experiences of death into moments of enacted personal or shared value. The second chapter, “A Vocation Unto Death: Max Weber, Modernity & Soldierly Politics” examines Weber’s turn towards an absolutist soldierly model of meaningful death as a part of ii modern political life.

  • 1 Judgment and Imagination in Habermas's Theory of Law Thomas Fossen Institute for Philosophy Leiden University the Final Ve
    Judgment and Imagination in Habermas’s Theory of Law Thomas Fossen Institute for Philosophy Leiden University The final version of this paper was published in Philosophy & Social Criticism: psc.sagepub.com/cgi/doi/10.1177/0191453714566485 Abstract: Recent debates in political theory display a renewed interest in the problem of judgment. This article critically examines the different senses of judgment that are at play in Jürgen Habermas’s theory of law. The paper offers (a) a new critical reading of Habermas’s account of the legitimacy of law, and (b) a revisionary interpretation of the reconstructive approach to political theory that underpins it. Both of these are instrumental to (c) an understanding of what is involved in judging the legitimacy of law that is richer than has been recognized thus far by both critics and defenders of Habermas. Keywords: Habermas, law, legitimacy, judgment, imagination, reconstruction, communicative action, deliberative democracy, agonistic politics Acknowledgments: I am grateful to Joel Anderson, Bert van den Brink, and Patchen Markell for critical discussions and inspiration, and I’ve also benefited from feedback from Wout Cornelissen, J.J. McFadden, Daniel Gaus, David Owen, Martine Prange, Herman Siemens, an anonymous referee, and an audience at the Dutch Research School for Practical Philosophy, especially discussant Stefan Rummens. Thanks also to Ciarán Ó Faoláin for his careful copy-editing. Work on this paper was funded by a grant from the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), entitled “Between Agonism and Deliberation: Rethinking Conflict and its Relation to Law in Political Philosophy.” 1 1. Introduction What is involved in judging the legitimacy of law? Much of the philosophical debate about legitimacy focuses on the content and justification of principles of legitimacy in light of which law (or political authority more broadly) ought to be considered legitimate or illegitimate.

  • The Moment Has Passed Power After Arendt
    4 THE MOMENT HAS PASSED Power after Arendt Patchen Markell “America’s Tahrir Moment”: that’s the title of an Adbusters blog entry from early September 2011. Nobody Can Predict the Moment of Revolution: the title of a short documentary video about Occupy Wall Street produced by some of its participants. “Transforming Occupy Wall Street from a Moment to a Movement”: the headline of a widely circulated article urging the occupiers to organize themselves behind a series of specific progressive demands.1 It’s not hard to understand the appeal of the language of the “moment” as a way of capturing the political rhythms of the past two years, whether in Sidi Bouzid, Oakland, Cairo, London, or lower Manhattan. Against the background of a feeling of political stuckness, of being in a rut you can’t see how to break out of, or of being subject to something—whether it’s an authoritarian dynasty or an economic system—that you feel powerless to contest, political aspiration can take the form of the desire for a moment of radical transformation, of the sudden appearance of new possibilities. Against the same background, promising moments can prove disappoint- ing precisely in their momentariness as old patterns and entrenched powers reassert themselves. Yet the notion of politics as a matter of the sudden and dramatic interruption of ordinary life, whose transformative effects must somehow be made durable without sacrificing what is radical and new in them, comes with significant costs. It has helped to anchor problematic conceptions of the authority of the political theorist: problematic because they fit poorly with the antihierarchical political principles in whose name they are often articulated and problematic because they help to reproduce 113 114 Patchen Markell subtly disempowering pictures of the very things—political power and political agency—that theory often promises to secure.

Topics include: the meaning and function of Arendt’s distinctions among “public,” “private” and “social” and among “labor,” “work,” and “action”; the significance and prospects of human activity, including especially political activity, in modernity; the relation between philosophy and politics in and beyond Athens; the significance of the scientific revolution for modernity; the meanings of work, leisure, and consumption in postwar capitalism; the nature and basis of political power and freedom; the relations between art and politics; and many others. In addition to The Human Condition, we’ll read some supplementary material, which includes work by some of the thinkers with whom Arendt was more or less explicitly in conversation; work by other writers from her era that will help us to situate Arendt in the larger contexts of twentieth-century intellectual life; and more recent writing that will give us different angles on some of the issues in Arendt’s book. This is a limited-enrollment, by-consent seminar, open to advanced undergraduates and to graduate students; in the event of a scarcity of places, some priority may be given to undergraduates. TEXTS: The primary text for the course is Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition (Chicago, 1958, 2nd ed.

    Neoliberalism's Uneven Revolution: Reflections on Wendy Brown's Undoing the Demos Patchen Markell Theory & Event, Volume 20, Number 2, April 2017, pp. 520-527 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/655784 Access provided by Hunter College Libraries (30 Jul 2018 16:38 GMT) Neoliberalism’s Uneven Revolution: Reflections on Wendy Brown’s Undoing the Demos Patchen Markell endy Brown’s Undoing the Demos1 tells a big, ambitious, and unfamiliar story about what neoliberalism is, and about Wwhat its ascent means for us. Unlike a lot of lesser books and articles on the subject, its sweep does not come at the cost of being vague, hasty, or gestural. It is, to the contrary, theoretically precise, deliberately paced, and carefully rooted in rich and detailed accounts of our present and our recent past. And, most of all, it is a book that is more than the sum of its individual arguments: to read it is to be drawn into a space and a perspective that will change how you look at the world. In that, I think it is a masterpiece of political theory. The questions and comments posed here about Undoing the Dem- os are meant to be internal to its space—that is, they are meant to be questions and comments of the kind that, on my reading anyway, the book means to provoke or invite. Before posing these questions, then, I need to say something about how I understand Brown’s rhetorical stance in Undoing the Demos, which, if I’m right, may also help avoid a possible misunderstanding of the book.

  • Government 4000/6816 Cornell University Fall
    Government 4000/6816 Professor Patchen Markell Cornell University Office hours: Tuesdays, 2–4pm Fall 2021 or by appointment, White Hall 311 [email protected] SEMINAR: ARENDT Mondays, 11:20am–1:50pm, location TBA COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is a seminar on the political thought of Hannah Arendt, meant for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in Government and related fields in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Prior familiarity with Arendt’s work is not necessary, but some prior work in political theory is required (e.g., Government 1615, for undergraduates). One source of Arendt’s enduring interest as a political theorist lies in the fact that she seemed to understand the meaning of “politics” very differently from many of her contemporaries and predecessors. But if politics is not essentially about the distinction between friends and enemies; or the possession of the legitimate means of violence in a territory; or who gets what, when, and how; or who does what to whom; or the rule of reason in the city and the soul—then what was politics, from Arendt’s perspective? Why did it matter? Was there such a thing as doing politics well or badly? What were the prospects for politics as a distinctive human practice in the post-World War II world? In this seminar we will pursue these and other questions via a slow, chapter-by-chapter reading and discussion of Arendt’s 1958 book The Human Condition, along with a number of other, shorter works of Arendt’s from from the 1940s through the 1970s. These readings will be supplemented by selections from the works of philosophers with whom Arendt was tacitly or explicitly engaged; selections from the writings of some of Arendt’s contemporaries, which will help us situate her work in the political and intellectual landscapes of the postwar world; and a few more recent readings that will give us different angles on some of the subjects Arendt addressed.

  • The Idea of Equality in America Emma Rodman a Dissertation Submitted
    The Idea of Equality in America Emma Rodman A dissertation submitted in partial fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Jack Turner III, Chair George Lovell Michael McCann Rebecca Thorpe Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Political Science ©Copyright 2020 Emma Rodman ii University of Washington Abstract The Idea of Equality in America Emma Rodman Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Jack Turner III Political Science In American political thought, it is commonly supposed we make political communities more democratic by making them more equal. In this dissertation, I show that this common supposition is a mistake: efforts to enact equality in America in fact frequently undermine democratic inclusion. In three case studies, I show that some registers of equality produce and naturalize hierarchy, and have a sabotaging relationship to democratic participation and inclusion. Invocations and enactments of equality in the eras of the Founding, the antebellum early republic, and post-Reconstruction all reveal a surprising disjoint between equality and democratic inclusion. Using archival sources, published primary sources, and original datasets of text materials, I offer a complex and historically grounded new framework for understanding the tension between democratic inclusion and the American idea of equality. To understand this seeming paradox requires appreciating both the polyvocality of the concept and the relationship between the different forms of equality. While I show that some important conceptions of equality in American political thought are themselves inegalitarian at core, it is more iii often the case that conceptions of equality compromise one another. As different valences of equality have gained prevalence at different moments in American history, seeking equality in one area – political, economic, or social equality, for instance – has not necessarily supported equality in other areas.
