Commemorating Dieter Henrich
This article is a tribute to Dieter Henrich, the outstanding German philosopher, who died in December 2022. It begins by reviewing his life, academic career and general approach to philosophy. It then tracks the development of his theory of subjectivity, beginning with his classic article of the 1960s on ‘Fichte’s Original Insight’. Subsequent sections of the article consider critiques of Henrich’s position by prominent contemporaries and his res…
Schelling's Liberation of Reason from Itself
It would be an honour for any author to receive two such thoughtful and detailed responses to their published work. I feel particularly grateful because one of my aspirations, in writing Schelling's Late Philosophy in Confrontation with Hegel , was to encourage a more in-depth discussion of the whole range of Schelling's thinking than has been common until now in the English-speaking world. In developing their critiques, both Karen Ng and Markus …
The Problem of Ethical Ideals in Hellenistic Philosophy and in Psychoanalysis
Hellenistic philosophy invites comparison with psychoanalysis. The aim of its leading currents, Epicureanism and Stoicism, was explicitly therapeutic—to enable individuals to lead a good life. Pursuing this comparison, Freud may be regarded as a successor to Epicureanism because of his hedonistic theory of motivation, his materialistic outlook, and his critique of religion. However, both Epicureanism and classical Freudianism are faced with the p…
The Idea of Hope
Reflections on continental philosophy from both sides of the Rhine, tracing complex inter-relations between post-structuralism and the Frankfurt School. Problems of subjectivity and nature, social determination and individual responsibility. Philosophical contexts of critical theory—and German Idealism as laboratory for system-building and experimentalist thought

A forum for philosophical imagination and social critique
In the spring of 1991 Axel Honneth contacted me out of the blue, to ask if I would like to present a paper as part of the "Philosophy and Social Sciences" course at the Interuniversity Centre in Dubrovnik.Of course, I was keen to take this opportunity.Ever since my undergraduate days I had been interested in the critical traditions of Western Marxism, as well as in developments in contemporary French philosophy which seemed to proposethough often…
Nietzsche for Losers
Opening a symposium on Malcolm Bull’s Anti-Nietzsche, Dews retraces the logic of critical supersession in European philosophy before taking issue with the author’s account of Nietzschean will to power and the reading strategy to be pursued in the face of it
Measuring recollection and familiarity
The remember/know (RK) procedure is the most widely used method to investigate recollection and familiarity. It uses trial-by-trial reports to determine how much recollection and familiarity contribute to different kinds of recognition. Few other methods provide information about individual memory judgements and no alternative allows such direct indications of recollection and familiarity influences. Here we review how the RK procedure has been a…
Intersubjectivity and the “Space of Reasons”
Resituating the Postmodern
Peter Dews on Peter Bürger, Ursprung des postmodernen Denkens. The origins of postmodern thought relocated from the era of late capitalism to the civilizational collapse of the First World War, and its crisis for modernity
Postmodernism
Defining postmodernism In the last quarter of the twentieth century the concept of postmodernism, and the associated notion of postmodernity, became a principal focus of discussion in philosophy, cultural analysis, and social and political theory. The notion of ‘postmodernism’ had originally emerged in an aesthetic context, at least as long ago as the 1930s, but the term was only used sporadically until the boom in its scope and currency from the…

The Limits of Disenchantment
In a passage from The Case of Wagner, Nietzsche affirms that ‘Hegel is a taste.—And not merely a German but a European taste.—A taste Wagner comprehended—to which he felt equal—which he immortalized—he invented a style for himself charged with “infinite meaning”—he became the heir of Hegel.—Music as “idea.”—’
Autonomy and Solidarity
Foucault and the French tradition of historical epistemology
Michel Foucault is perhaps best known for, and has exercised most influence through, his historical analyses of the human sciences as forms of power and social control, developed during the 1970s in books such as Discipline andPunish and The History of Sexuality: Volume I.’ However, these analyses of ‘regimes of truth’ were only made possible by the approach to the history of knowledge, under the title of ‘archaeology’, which Foucault had develop…

Adorno, Post-structuralism and the Critique of Identity

Indeed, what is perhaps most

Power and Subjectivity in Foucault
The ‘philosophy of desire’ developed by Jean-Fraçois Lyotard and Gilles Deleuze in the period from the late 1960s to the mid-70s can be seen as the attempt, within post-structuralism, to affirm the independent force of an ‘inner nature’—that ‘transitivism of a spontaneous aesthetic’ to which Discours, Figure refers—against

The Nouvelle Philosophie and Foucault
The first part of the paper gives an account of some of the intellectual and political background to the characteristic positions of the Nouvelle Philosophie, and details the presentation of these positions in the work of André Glucksmann. The important influence of Foucault on the Nouvelle Philosophie is then discussed. Foucault's interpretation of his own earlier work and his present manner of posing the question of power are critically analyse…
