Gadamer and Levinas on Concepts of Culture

In this work, I have compared the views of Hans Georg Gadamer and Emmanuel Levinas on various concepts of culture and understanding of the ‘man’ within the framework of Western civilization with the help of three of their essays. In two lectures of Gadamer—‘Culture and Peace’, delivered at Salzburg in 1980, and ‘Man and His Hand in Modern Civilization’, delivered in Munich in 1978—and several essays by Emmanuel Levinas such as ‘The Philosophical Determination of the Idea of Culture’ (1983). If both authors are critical of the rational based on the technique and calculation of the concept of culture inherited from the Enlightenment, and further, if this concept is embodied in the bourgeois and later in industrial societies, as retraced in the first chapter, the authors differently see the way out of the dehumanizing crisis of the modern era

Book Review: The Strengthening of American Political Institutions

The essays printed in this volume were originally delivered as lectures inthe Cornell Symposium on America\u27s Freedom and Responsibility in the ContemporaryCrisis. They all deal with topics of present importance, thoughit would not be hard to think of other subjects that would probe more deeplyinto the crisis in American political institutions than do several of the topicschosen. The essays are neither profound nor particularly original but, comingfrom a group of active participants in the current political scene, they makea worthwhile contribution

The Neganthropocene

In the essays and lectures here titled Neganthropocene, Stiegler opens an entirely new front moving beyond the dead-end “banality” of the Anthropocene. Stiegler stakes out a battleplan to proceed beyond, indeed shrugging off, the fulfillment of nihilism that the era of climate chaos ushers in

On the track of the fugitive Gods: Heidegger, Luther, Holderlin

Journal ArticleAt each of the decisive turning points in his philosophical career, Heidegger found inspiration in Holderlin. More recently, commentators have raised questions about the role that his reading of Holderlin played in Heidegger's political actions of the 1930s. It has been suggested that Heidegger's reading of Holderlin is linked with a troubling nationalism, romantic militarism, and cult of the German "fatherland." On this reading, Heidegger's lectures and essays on Holderlin from the 1930s and 1940s testify to his betrayal of his youthful work that had been animated by the more congenial spirits of early Christianity and Kierkegaard. While I by no means wish to deny the troubling aspects of Heidegger's romantic politics, I also want to retrieve another aspect of Heidegger's engagement with Holderlin that has received less attention. In particular, I hope to show in what follows that Heidegger's essays and lectures on Holderlin can be read, in part, as attempts to work out a philosophical theology

Pluralizing International Criminal Justice

From Nuremberg to The Hague scours the institutions of international criminal justice in order to examine their legitimacy and effectiveness. This collection of essays is edited by Philippe Sands, an eminent authority on public international law and professor at University College London. The five essays derive from an equal number of public lectures held in London between April and June 2002. The essays - concise and in places informal - carefully avoid legalese and arcania. Taken together, they cover an impressive spectrum of issues. Read individually, however, each essay is ordered around one or two well-tailored themes, thereby ensuring analytic rigor. Consequently, the overall collection is accessible without being breezy. It provides an insightful contribution to a burgeoning field and busy debate
