Abstract

Kant Trouble offers a highly original and incisive reading of some of the lesser known aspects of Kantian thought. Throughout Morgan challenges the widely held view of Kant as the exponent of concrete and rigid rationality and argues that his airtight 'architectonic' mode of reasoning overlooks certain topics which destabilise it. These include temporary forms of architecture, such as landscape gardening; examples which undermine the autonomy of the Kantian subject, for example, freemasonry; and the concept of radical evil, all of which suggest that Kant's thought was capa

Abstract

This book introduces architects to a philosopher, Immanuel Kant, whose work was constantly informed by a concern for the world as an evolving whole. According to Kant, in this interconnected and dynamic world, humans should act as mutually dependent and responsible subjects. Given his future-oriented and ethico-politically concerned thinking, Kant is a thinker who clearly speaks to architects. This introduction demonstrates how his ideas bear pertinently and creatively upon the world in which we live now and for which we should care thoughtfully. Kant grounded his enlightened vision of philosophy's mission using an architectural metaphor: of the modest 'dwelling-house'. Far from constructing speculative 'castles in the sky' or vertiginous 'towers which reach to the heavens', he tells us that his humble aim is rather to build a 'secure home for ourselves', one which appropriately corresponds at once to the limited material resources available on our planet, and to our need for firm and solid principles to live by. This book also explores Kant's notions of cosmopolitics, which attempts to think politics from a global perspective by taking into account the geographical fact that the earth is a sphere with limited land mass and natural resources. Given the urgent topicality of sustainable development, these Kantian texts are of particular interest for architects of today. Students of architecture, who are necessarily trained in negotiating between theory and practice, gain much from considering Kant, whose critical project also consisted of testing and exploring the viability of ideas, so as to ascertain to what extent, and crucially, how ideas can have a constructive effect on the whole world, and on us as active agents therein.

Abstract

Dans le sillage du colloque international Parier sur l'impossible, penser avec René Schérer organisé en février 2024 à l'université Paris 8, un an après la disparition de René Schérer, les Cahiers Charles Fourier s'ouvrent à ses contributrices et contributeurs. Non seulement pour montrer l'apport de notre ami à la connaissance contemporaine du « rêveur sublime », mais pour attester aussi l'usage de Charles Fourier par René Schérer pour penser le contemporain et en greffer les idées forces, les intuitions sur celles de Gilles Deleuze, de Félix Guattari, de Pier Paolo Pasolini ou, plus tardivement, de pensées anarchistes moins connues.L'important est ici d'exposer comment la pensée qui se déploie chez lui est en permanence fécondée par l'utopie fouriériste, point qu'il assumera toujours jusqu'à donner à son dernier ouvrage le titre éloquent de Fouriériste aujourd'hui, suivant ainsi une voie dont il ne se sera jamais éloigné, celle d'un fouriérisme alerte : ouvert aux dehors, traversé d'anachroniques fulgurances, hospitalier aux déplacements, à une porosité parfois même problématique mais qui, sans cesse, avait pour objet de reconfigurer la pensée de Charles Fourier en une puissance de bouleversements.
