    Nihilism as Emancipation

    Get PDF
    Is the philosophical idea of nihilism compatible with a project of emancipation based on concepts such as autonomy, equality and freedom? This is the question to which Vattimo's contribution seeks to provide a response. For Vattimo, the notion of nihilism is inseparable from that of hermeneutics, understood as the historically situated character of universal claims. Rather than undermining emancipation, for Vattimo a nihilistic hermeneutics is precisely what frees us from foundations, and should thus be understood as an emancipatory force. The article tries to counter a purely tragic understanding of nihilism with the constructive political horizons opened up by a nihilistic hermeneutics, which allows us to think anew the ideas of freedom and equality

    Crisis and the emotional body : Towards (another) freedom

    Get PDF
    In his analysis of the recent European crisis, Franco 'Bifo' Berardi (2012) looks beyond its economic causes and implications and theorises the role played by poetry and the emotional body in rediscovering the relationship between language and desire and reopening the possibility of social solidarity. Drawing on FĂ©lix Guattari’s (1995) reflections on the correlation between singular refrain and universal chaos in the reinvention of subjectivity, Berardi conceptualises rhythm as a poetic feature which can contribute to restoring our ability to conjoin with other singularities and with our social and cosmic environment. This article considers how a close engagement with rhythmical, repetitive and cyclical performative practices in examples of recent European choreography may offer ways of responding to today’s crisis of social cohesion, reimagining channels of intensive communication. In particular, the article looks at works by the Italian artist Alessandro Sciarroni (Folk-s, will you still love me tomorrow?, 2012 and Chroma_don’t be frightened of turning the page, 2017) and by the London-based duo Igor and Moreno (Idiot-Syncrasy, 2013) and discusses how, in revisiting elements of folk traditions, they mobilise their potential as formal, semantic and affective modalities that can sustain a reconfiguration of social freedom

    Historia de una coma. Gadamer y el sentido del ser

    A partir de la doble posibilidad de traducir en las lenguas romĂĄnicas la expresiĂłn gadameriana «Sein, das verstanden werden kann, ist Sprache» como «El ser, que puede ser comprendido, es lenguaje» o como «El ser que puede ser comprendido es lenguaje», se consideran las importantes repercusiones ontolĂłgicas que tendrĂ­a una interpretaciĂłn mĂĄs moderada (y mĂĄs habitual) de ese enunciado (la primera exhibida), o una lectura mĂĄs radical y nihilista (la que aquĂ­ se defiende) del mismo (la segunda traducciĂłn propuesta). Se intenta mostrar que una correcta comprensiĂłn de la diferencia ontolĂłgica abogarĂ­a por esta segunda posibilidad, por cuanto no son los entes los que se reducen, idealistamente, a mero lenguaje, sino el ser. lo cual evita cualquier residuo «metafĂ­sico» o «positivista » que, dando por supuesto que este Ășltimo se reduce a los primeros, aluda aĂșn a cierto «ser» (o, en esta perspectiva, «entes») que estĂĄ mĂĄs allĂĄ (y aĂșn por descubrir) del lenguaje

    The End of Philosophy in the Age of Democracy

    Get PDF
    « La fin de la philosophie dans l’ñge de la dĂ©mocratie » L’époque actuelle est celle de la fin de la philosophie. Une telle fin Ă©quivaut Ă  l’abandon irrĂ©versible de la notion platonicienne de « VĂ©rité » comprise comme l’expression d’un ordre Ă©ternel et objectif de tout « ÊTRE ». L’époque actuelle est aussi celle de l’émergence ainsi que de la consolidation progressive de sociĂ©tĂ©s dĂ©mocratiques.On objectera que, en dĂ©mocratie, l’ancienne suprĂ©matie d’une caste politique et intellectuelle, fondĂ©e sur sa revendication « mĂ©taphysique » de la possession exclusive de l’absolue « VĂ©ritĂ© de l’ÊTRE », doit nĂ©cessairement ĂȘtre rejetĂ©e en faveur d’une conception ouverte de l’ÊTRE comme « ÉvĂ©nement » (« Ereignis ») ce qu’Heidegger a continuellement rappelĂ© aprĂšs la publication de sa cĂ©lĂšbre confĂ©rence sur l’origine de l’oeuvre d’art en 1936. La prĂ©occupation essentielle qui sous-tend la façon dont Heidegger met en valeur le caractĂšre rĂ©ducteur de la conception « mĂ©taphysique » de l’ÊTRE chez Platon est partagĂ©e par une grande partie de la philosophie contemporaine. En effet elle peut servir Ă  Ă©tablir, quoique paradoxalement, des parallĂšles entre certains arguments de textes tardifs et cruciaux de Heidegger comme l’essai de 1964 sur la « Fin de la philosophie et la TĂąche de PensĂ©e » et ceux des philosophes apparemment antithĂ©tiques comme Popper l’a exposĂ© dans La SociĂ©tĂ© ouverte et ses ennemis. On objectera que la tĂąche majeure de toute rĂ©flexion philosophique lucide est de prĂ©server ce qui reste cachĂ© dans la prĂ©sentation quotidienne de ce qui transparaĂźt dans un monde fortement rationalisĂ©. Un monde dans lequel le dĂ©clin de l’absolu dans l’ontologie et l’influence sociale croissante de l’expertise technique peut encourager un relaps vers le contrĂŽle social autoritaire. Dans un tel contexte, le rĂŽle principal de la philosophie est d’affirmer le caractĂšre irrĂ©ductible de l’ÉvĂ©nement de l’ÊTRE en tant que tel (on he on) et la libertĂ© politique que sa dispensation prĂ©suppose. “The End of Philosophy in the Age of Democracy” The current era is that of the “end” of philosophy. Such an “end” is tanta­mount to the irreversible abandonment of the Platonic notion of “Truth” understood as the expression of an eternal and objective order of all “Being”. The current era is also that of the emergence as well as the progressive consolidation of democratic societies. It shall be argued that, in a democracy, the erstwhile political supremacy of a specific political and intellectual caste (based on its “metaphysical” claim to the exclusive possession of the absolute “Truth of Being”) must necessarily be discarded in favour of an open conception of “Being” as “Event” (“Ereignis”) which Heidegger consistently drew upon after the publication of his famous conference on the origin of the work of art in 1936. The anti-essentialist concern underlying Heidegger’s manner of high­lighting the reductive character of Plato’s “metaphysical” conception of “Being” is shared by much contemporary philosophy. Indeed, it can serve to establish, albeit paradoxically, parallels between some of the arguments of Heidegger’s crucial later texts such as the 1964 essay on “The End of Philosophy and the Task of Thought” and those of such seemingly anti­thetical philosophers as Popper’s expounded in “Open Society and its Enemies”. It shall be argued that the major contemporary task of all lucid philosophical reflection is that of preserving what remains “hidden” in the everyday presentation of what transpires in a strongly rationalized world. A world in which the decline of the absolute in ontology and the growing social influence of technical “expertise” may encourage a relapse into au­thoritarian social control. In such a context, the principal role of phi­losophy is that of affirming the irreducible character of the “Event” of “Being” as such (“on he on”) and the political freedom that its dis­pensation presupposes.La Ă©poca actual es la Ă©poca del final de la filosofĂ­a. Este final significa el abandono irreversible de la nociĂłn platĂłnica de « verdad », entendida como la expresiĂłn de un orden eterno y objetivo de cada « SER ». La Ă©poca actual es tambiĂ©n la Ă©poca de la emergencia y de la consolidaciĂłn progresiva de las sociedades democrĂĄticas. El papel principal de la filosofĂ­a es afirmar el ca­rĂĄcter irreductible del Acontecer del Ser en sĂ­ y la libertad polĂ­tica que pre­supone su distanciaciĂłn.“Das Ende der Philosophie im Zeitalter der Demokratie” Die heutige Zeit entspricht dem Ende der Philosophie, das heisst dem unwiderruflichen Verzicht auf die platonische Idee der Wahrheit als Aus­druck einer ewigen Ordnung und als Ziel eines jeden “Wesen”. Das heu­tige Zeitalter sieht auch die Emergenz und die progressive Konsoli­dierung der demokratischen Gesellschaften. Die hauptsĂ€chliche Rolle der Philoso­phie besteht darin den unreduzierbaren Charakter des "Ereignisses" vom “Sein” zu behaupten, sowie die Voraussetzung der politischen Freiheit als nötige Distan
