So be it’
Maurice Blanchot's ‘The Apocalypse Is Disappointing’ deals with the danger of an atomic war that might encompass the entire world and annihilate human life on the planet. It is in this context that, on the one hand, he defends modern science and its experiments with truth, while on the other hand, he advocates the creation of a global communist society. If scientific experiments cannot be risked without putting humankind at risk and opening up th…
Be Mimetic
The author of the article analyzes mimesis in terms of behavior that does not aim to express and assert selfhood or identity, but only pretends to do so. “Being mimetic” means: “Stop being yourself and be like yourself!” The article reveals the implications and consequences of such behavior or such mimesis. The author recalls the famous anecdote when Theodor Adorno encounters a dog and urges it to be mimetic, placing it in the context of the rela…
De quel côté ça tombe

Must the Apocalypse Disappoint? Philosophers in the Midst of Climate Change and Before
Is self-preservation the only question humanity faces when confronted with self-induced annihilation? Must humanity not also ask whether there are different ways of extinguishing itself? Whether an extinction that a few impose on the many should not be distinguished from an extinction that results from a collective decision? Is there a self-extinction of humanity that can testify to its unity and autonomy rather than to its dividedness

Spain
When does the confrontation between the government in Barcelona and the government in Madrid stop being an intra-Spanish issue? When one realises that the task at hand is neither contempt for the constitution nor a backwards-oriented issue of sectionalism that Spain has to suppress. And if one realises that Europe's self-understanding is at stake here, the confrontation becomes an issue of the self-understanding of a European democracy
Can There Be Reconciliation with Nature
Can There Be Reconciliation with Nature? Alexander García Düttmann (bio) Among the concepts central to Adorno's philosophical thought, some seem to attract comparatively less attention than others, though not always because their importance remains unrecognized. It is rather as if they provoked a strange sense of embarrassment, a perplexity so strong that it interferes with attempts to take them seriously and to examine them properly. Or are they…

The Feeling of Life
Is there a feeling of life, and if so, can deconstruction contribute to its elucidation? What is a deconstructionist's ‘feeling of life’? If one takes Derrida's argument about iterability as an argument about life, then one could perhaps infer from it that life, for the deconstructionist, is the occurrence, or the event, of what always occurs only once because it occurs more than once, and of what always occurs more than once because it occurs on…

For and Against the Contemporary. An Examination
This essay, a conversation setting different ideas against each other, is an examination of how the concept of the contemporary can be used meaningfully, especially in the context of art. Two forms of the contemporary are distinguished. On the one hand, there is the contemporary that remains subject to constant change and falls prey to a passion of emptiness. On the other hand, there is the contemporary that penetrates into the very heart of meta…

If its political determination were based on an aesthetic condition, could it still be bound to a State, as Schiller thought, or would it need to resist appropriation, as can be shown in the wake of Adorno, and stand incompatible with all attempts to make it instituti…
A man for all seasons
This piece is a critical and polemical discussion of the concept of performativity as used in some quarters of ‘queer studies’. It shows that the usage Judith Butler and her followers make of this concept relies heavily on the work of Jacques Derrida but fails to do justice to it. Such lack of rigour manifests itself in a lack of philosophical originality and thus leaves ‘queer studies’ in a rather precarious position
Derrida und ich
Dieses Buch stellt einen der ersten Versuche dar, das Denken von Jacques Derrida, einem der bedeutendsten Philosophen des vergangenen Jahrhunderts, als Einheit zu begreifen. Alexander García Düttmann umreißt die philosophische Idee der Dekonstruktion, indem er das Verhältnis des Ichs zum Anderen als Leitfaden einer begrifflichen Erörterung wählt und es exemplarisch an vier Denkmodellen dartut. Die Dekonstruktion erweist sich dabei als ein Denken,…

Thinking as Gesture
The idea that there is a relationship between thinking and exaggeration, which proves to be constitutive of thinking itself and its presentation, is an idea Adorno repeatedly formulates without ever expressly and systematically developing. Because this relationship is meant to allow thinking to relate to truth, the lack of a systematic development cannot be explained as the result of a simple omission on the part of the philosopher. The question …

At Odds With Aids
What does it mean to oppose AIDS, to be at odds with AIDS? What kind of rupture with history does AIDS represent? How does AIDS and what is said about AIDS relate to gay identity? How does AIDS relate to thinking and acting, particularly deconstructive thinking? The author confronts these questions from a broad philosophical background that ranges from Kant, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger to contemporary thought concerning gay activism and…

Schuld Sein
Spätestens seit der Implosion des Staatssozialismus, seit also hierzulande wieder über die Totalitarismustheorie gestritten wird, ist Hannah Arendts Werk ins Zentrum politologischer Debatten gerückt. Auch auf einer Tagung der Universität Oldenburg und des Hanse-Wissenschaftskollegs über Arendt Zeitschrift für kritische Theorie 11/2000 6 Vorbemerkung und Adorno stießen Anhänger einer antimarxistischen und einer kritischen Lesart von Arendts Texten…

Denken als Geste
Dem Zusammenhang von Begriff und Darstellung geht auch Alexander García Düttmann nach. Er legt eine Lektüre der »Dialektik der Aufklärung« vor, die den dort in Anspruch genommenen Begriff der Übertreibung auf das begriffliche Vorgehen und auf die Schreibweise der Arbeit selbst bezieht. Das Ineinander von Begriff und Darstellung fasst er mit dem Begriff der Geste. Folgt man dem Autor, so leuchtet ein, warum konsenstheoretische Positionen die »Dial…
