Abstract

This groundbreaking book focuses on Alfred Dreyfus the man, with emphasis placed on his own writings, including his recently published prison workbooks and his letters to his wife Lucie. Through close reading of these documents, a much more sensitive, intellectual, and Jewish man is revealed than was previously suspected. He and Lucie, through their family connections and mutual loyalty, were interested in and supported the artistic, scientific, philosophical and historical movements that formed their Parisian milieu. But as an Alsatian Jew, Alfred was also critical of many aspects of technological and ideological developments, making his mentality one of skepticism as well as idealism. Norman Simms addresses the way Dreyfus perceived the world, challenged many of its assumptions and contextualized it in the style of a rabbinical midrash, a process that created what Alfred called a “phantasmagoria” of the Affair that bears his name, and also interprets the man, his milieu and his mentality in the style of a midrash, a creative, transformative reading.

Abstract

Terry Pinkard draws on Hegel's central works as well as his lectures on aesthetics, the history of philosophy, and the philosophy of history in this deeply informed and original exploration of Hegel's naturalism. As Pinkard explains, Hegel's version of naturalism was in fact drawn from Aristotelian naturalism: Hegel fused Aristotle's conception of nature with his insistence that the origin and development of philosophy has empirical physics as its presupposition. As a result, Hegel found that, although modern nature must be understood as a whole to be non-purposive, there is nonetheless a place for Aristotelian purposiveness within such nature. Such a naturalism provides the framework for explaining how we are both natural organisms and also practically minded (self-determining, rationally responsive, reason-giving) beings. In arguing for this point, Hegel shows that the kind of self-division which is characteristic of human agency also provides human agents with an updated version of an Aristotelian final end of life. Pinkard treats this conception of the final end of "being at one with oneself" in two parts. The first part focuses on Hegel's account of agency in naturalist terms and how it is that agency requires such a self-division, while the second part explores how Hegel thinks a historical narration is essential for understanding what this kind of self-division has come to require of itself. In making his case, Hegel argues that both the antinomies of philosophical thought and the essential fragmentation of modern life are all not to be understood as overcome in a higher order unity in the "State." On the contrary, Hegel demonstrates that modern institutions do not resolve such tensions any more than a comprehensive philosophical account can resolve them theoretically. The job of modern practices and institutions (and at a reflective level the task of modern philosophy) is to help us understand and live with precisely the unresolvability of these oppositions. Therefore, Pinkard explains, Hegel is not the totality theorist he has been taken to be, nor is he an "identity thinker," a la Adorno. He is an anti-totality thinker.

Abstract

Quel rapport Hegel entretient-il avec la métaphysique ? Cette question engage un jugement quant à la nature des convictions fondamentales sur lesquelles repose sa philosophie : alors qu’elle a longtemps été louée (ou vilipendée) en tant que métaphysique spéculative, des approches récentes s’estiment en mesure de contourner ce problème. Les arguments hégéliens semblent alors pouvoir être reconstruits et évalués indépendamment des convictions métaphysiques professées par leur auteur ; la « conscience de soi métaphysique » de Hegel ferait en quelque sorte écran au potentiel rationnel et normatif de cette pensée. D’autres lectures actuelles résistent à une telle façon de voir : dissocier les analyses hégéliennes de leur arrière-plan métaphysique serait les priver de ce qu’elles ont de plus tranchant, les ramener au niveau de ce que Hegel nommait la pensée d’entendement. À vouloir actualiser sa philosophie, ne la condamne-t-on pas à l’insignifiance ? Ce débat, au cœur du commentaire hégélien actuel, s’est développé au mois de juin 2009 à l’Université de Poitiers et à la Sorbonne, lors d’un colloque international qui a réuni au total plus de vingt contributeurs comptant parmi les commentateurs les plus réputés de Hegel. Ce volume contient les textes qui y ont été présentés. Il constitue une pièce majeure de la discussion contemporaine autour de cette philosophie et montre combien Hegel est plus que jamais présent.
