The Deepening of Apperception
According to Walter Benjamin, the history of photography is a process of progressive emancipation of reproductive technology from magic and the aura. This process culminates in the art of cinema as a public art in which total transparency is achieved. The essay is an attempt to investigate the changes in perception that come with the new technologies and the progressive evacuation of the sacred and the auratic from art
Of a Ghost and Its Resurrection
In La Agonia de Europa , María Zambrano writes: “Europe is not dead, Europe cannot die completely; it agonizes. For Europe is perhaps the only thing—in history—that cannot die; it is the only thing capable of resurrection.” How to understand this provocative statement? What must Europe be for it not being able to completely die, but only to agonize? How to understand the mode of being Europe as one of continuous agonization? What kind of resurrec…
Europe, or The Infinite Task
Gasché's latest book explores the concept or idea of Europe in the philosophies of Husserl, Heidegger, Patoka, and Derrida, and how it is linked to the notions of rationality, universality, world, the relation the other, and responsibility

Patočka on Europe in the aftermath of Europe
Jan Patočka’s elaborations in ‘Europe after Europe’ concern a kind of irrationalism and nativism proper to European thought that has prohibited the embryonic core of the idea of Europe, namely, the renewed Socratic-Platonic motif of the ‘care of the soul’ in Christian Europe, to unfold its full potential. The article investigates a further ‘irrationalism’ that narrows the universalist thrust of the idea of Europe, precisely, by conceiving of it i…

Europe and the Stranger
With few exceptions, the prominent role of the Stranger in Plato’s late dialogue on the Sophist has drawn little attention in Plato scholarship. Yet, in this dialogue Plato charges the expatriated Stranger, who, furthermore, lacks a patronym and thus is not identifiable, remaining a stranger to the end, with the task not only of rejecting all philosophy hitherto as nothing more than a kind of storytelling about Being, but also of committing the p…

The Exercise of Deconstruction
After his, however reluctant, appropriation of the term with which his thought had become identified, Derrida repeatedly insisted that even though deconstruction has a ‘logic’, or a way of proceeding, of its own, it is not an act or operation, and, especially, not a method. On other occasions he has emphasised that deconstruction is something that happens, or takes place, without an active agent as its source. For this reason the reference to the…
Nur Hinsehen oder hütendes Schauen? Zu Heideggers ‚lebensweltlicher‘ Begründung der Theorie
Theorietheorie
Geisteswissenschaften sind der Ort avancierter Theoriebildung, und Theoriebildung ist der Ort avancierter Geisteswissenschaften. Gegenstand dieses Bandes sind die avancierten Theorieentwicklungen der letzten Jahrzehnte. Denn die Geisteswissenschaften sind mehr denn je gera-dezu konstitutiv von der Oszillationsbewegung zwischen Theoriekonjunktur und Theorieabge-sang, Theoriefeier und Theoriemüdigkeit, Theorieexplosion und Theorieverachtung geprägt…

On Seeing Away
On Seeing Away: Attention and Abstraction in Kant Rodolphe Gasché (bio) In one of the chapters that he added to the second edition of the Critique of Pure Reason, in an effort to further clarify the seminal distinction between the power of apperception and inner sense, Kant explains that in inner sense “we intuit ourselves only as we are inwardly affected by ourselves; in other words, that, so far as inner intuition is concerned, we know our own …
This Little Thing That Is Europe
The question of Europe is not merely one question among others.It is, rather, as Jacques Derrida remarks at the beginning of The Other Heading: Reflections on Today's Europe, "a question that will always be of current interest."If this topical question is raised today in Europe in the face of, or under the pressure of, "some imminence" (that is, of something that is occurring now at this very moment), then it is because it is a question that pose…

The Honor of Thinking
The Honor of Thinking investigates the limits of criticism, theory, and philosophy in light of what Martin Heidegger and French post-Heideggerian philosophers have established about the nature and tasks of thinking. In addition to in-depth analyses of Walter Benjamin's conception of critique—and in particular the relation of critique to ethics, as well as alternative models of criticism (such as Heidegger's notion of "Auseinandersetzung," and Der…
The Partisan and the Philosopher
The Partisan and the Philosopher Rodolphe Gasché (bio) The search for clear concepts, precise distinctions, and un-ambiguous criteria are a hallmark of Carl Schmitt's legal and political theory. Yet, as Jacob Taubes has noted, "Schmitt fought against one thing: the pure science of law. Indeed, pure legal science consists in a doctrine that does not take real history into account" (1987, 57). Rather, it is an abstract science, based on pure concep…
Kafka's Law
Alexander Pushkin's story on Potemkin, as retold by Walter Benjamin in "Franz Kafka," is said to storm like a herald two hundred years ahead of Kafka's work. Not only is Potemkin characterized as an "ancestor" of the somnolent and unkempt holders of power in Kafka's work, but the world of offices and registries in the story is held to be no different from that of Kafka's world, and Shuvalkin the same as K. More precisely, what makes Pushkin's sto…
L’expérience aporétique aux origines de la pensée. Platon, Heidegger, Derrida
La pensée de Jacques Derrida a souvent été qualifiée d’autocontradictoire et accusée de se complaire dans des contradictions performatives conduisant à des apories insolubles. Si cette accusation est sans fondement, il est vrai que la notion d’aporie est présente dans le travail du philosophe depuis le début et occupe de plus en plus le centre de la scène dans son oeuvre récente. Cet essai tente de démontrer que, par le moyen de cet intérêt pour…

Unscrambling Positions
Alarmed by the present state of literary studies, many critics, themselves entangled in empirical criticism and obsessed with the need to keep literature safe from outside invasion, have begun to speak in an apocalyptic manner of a conspiracy against all literary values. These critics, who identify the oncoming threat against criticism with the anatomizing science of linguistics or with a conversion of literary studies into a province of philosop…

"Setzung" and "Ubersetzung"
Autobiography as Gestalt
Nietzsche's autobiography, his self-presentation in Ecce Homo,1 has until now been subjected to no other treatment than that inflicted by philosophy. In other words, this text has been considered either as literature or as an essentially philosophical writing disguised under the appearances of a literary genre. According to the second of these two genuinely philosophical alternatives, Ecce Homo has to be stripped of all of its esthetic magic, of …
