The Theological Origins and Underpinning of the Longing for Total Revolution
The longing for total revolution described in Bernard Yack’s seminal book, which he analyzes as an effort to find a place for human freedom and morality in a world governed by natural necessity, can be traced to Reformation debates between predestinarian Calvinists and free-will theologians. These debates were reflected in Kant’s efforts to establish the very possibility of freedom and in those of Hegel, Marx, and Nietzsche. Considered in this li…
On Debt and Redemption
In this essay, I argue that the notion of monetary debt does not displace but merely conceals our deeper, ontological debt to the sources of our being and way of life. I suggest that first Christianity and then modern science attempted to find a means of redemption that could free us from debt, but that both were unable to reconcile the ideas of freedom and indebtedness. I then examine the way in which Friedrich Nietzsche tried to resolve the app…
The Question of the Examined Life
This essay calls into question Zuckert's claim in Postmodern Platos that Strauss provides the best contemporary defense of the superiority of the philosophic life against the claims of Nietzsche and Heidegger that it leads to nihilism and despair. For her, Strauss persuasively draws on Plato, read through Alfarabi and Maimonides, to defend this view by showing that the philosopher understands the true ends of human life as a whole which is part o…

Nietzsche's Final Teaching
Nietzsche's Final Teaching
Michael Allen Gillespie presents the thought of the late Nietzsche as Nietzsche himself intended, drawing not only on his published works but on the plans for the works he was unable to complete, which can be found throughout his notes and correspondence. Gillespie argues that the idea of the eternal recurrence transformed Nietzsche's thinking from 1881 to 1889. It provided both the basis for his rejection of traditional metaphysics and the groun…
Radical Philosophy and Political Theology
This chapter explores four alternative conceptions of nature that have emerged in European thought over several centuries – Pre-modern, Enlightenment, Romantic, and Environmental – and considers the belief in the animation of the nature as reflected in Hebrew Scriptures and the work of Plato and Ovid. It discusses how the Enlightenment conception of ‘human nature’ – despite its humanistic tone – is actually de-humanizing. The chapter describes th…

Sherlock Holmes, Crime, and the Anxieties of Globalization
Before the establishment in the early 1800s of France's Sûreté Nationale and England's Scotland Yard, the detection of crimes was generally regarded as supernatural work, but the rise of modern science allowed mere mortals to systematize and categorize events—and thus to solve crimes. Reducing the amount of crime, however, did not reduce the fear of crime, which actually grew in the late-nineteenth century as the result of globalization and media…
Political Anti-Theology
In The Stillborn God, Mark Lilla argues that political theology invariably leads to apocalyptic politics, and that we can avoid this fate only by maintaining a “Great Separation” between politics and religion, such as the one that Hobbes initiated, but which was overturned by Rousseau and German liberal theology—leading to Nazism. We argue that Hobbes never established such a divide; political theology is far more diverse than Lilla suggests; and…

Martin Heidegger's Aristotelian National Socialism
Etude de l'attrait de Heidegger pour la national-socialisme a la lumiere de sa rencontre avec la pensee d'Aristote. De 1919 a 1933, l'A. montre que Heidegger developpe une conception aristotelicienne de la praxis et de la politique capable de substituer a la theorie moderne de la technologie une sagesse pratique fondee sur la phronesis, a l'oeuvre dans le nazisme
The theological origins of modernity
Most critiques of modernity rest on an inadequate understanding of its complexity. Modernity should be seen in terms of the question that guides modern thought. 77ns is the question of divine omnipotence that arises out of the nominalist destruction of Scholasticism. Humanism, Reformation Christianity, empiricsim, and rationalism are different responses to this question
The New Hegel
Nietzsche and the premodernist critique of postmodernity
The crisis of modern reason culminates in Nietzsche's proclamation of nihilism. Drawing upon Nietzsche, postmodernists suggest that reason itself is defective, while “premodernists” argue we can regain our balance by returning to premodern rationalism. Peter Berkowitz suggests, however, that Nietzsche is a contradictory thinker who fails in his attempt to combine ancient rationalism with modern voluntarism. Postmodernism thus rests upon a defecti…

Montaigne's Humanistic Liberalism
Many have noted the tendency of liberalism to degenerate into egoism or collectivism. This article examines Montaigne's attempt to preserve liberalism from such degeneration by establishing a basis for the liberal self in friendship and especially friendship for oneself rather than mere self-interest. In Montaigne's view this promotes self-sufficient human beings who are content with private life and unmoved by political ambition and religious fa…
