Hegel and the Political Economy of the Family
In this article, I show that Hegel’s philosophical articulation of the family is inextricably bound to his engagement with political economy by focusing on three central aspects of his theory of the family. Firstly, I analyze how Hegel construes the family as a historically distinct social dispositif and constitutive element of the modern order of property. I argue that Hegel’s construction of the family and its place in the modern order of prope…

Ecologies of Gender
Ecologies of Gender: Contemporary Nature Relations and the Nonhuman Turn examines the role of gender in recent debates about the nonhuman turn in the humanities, and critically explores the implications for a contemporary theory of gender and nature relations.The interdisciplinary contributions in this volume each provide theoretical reflections based on an analysis of specific naturecultural processes. They reveal how "ecologies of gender" are c…

Shifting Meanings of Politics
Re-articulating Genealogy
In the decades around 1800, genealogical imaginaries, or the social, political, economic and cultural meanings of descent and kinship, underwent far-reaching change. Hegel was deeply concerned with these transformations in various respects and in different parts of his philosophy. By engaging with the issues of kinship and family, with the disputes over racial diversity as well as with the scientific debates about life, reproduction and the meani…
Politicizing the Geological
Against the backdrop of the current “geological turn,” the article sheds light on the ways in which the earth has been articulated through strategies of temporalization and territorialization in the context of modern philosophical race discourse. The author first reconstructs the constitution of a “geographic imagination” as it emerged in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The first part focuses on the role of geography in Kant's…
Conceiving reproduction in German Naturphilosophie. Introduction
Weichenstellungen
Susanne Lettow widmet sich in ihrem Beitrag den Versprechen der Bioökonomie, die, von der öffentlichen Debatte weitgehend unbeachtet, im Kontext der Coronakrise eine neue Konjunktur erleben. Allerdings erscheinen die Versprechen der Bioökonomie - die sich die Abkehr von der Fossilökonomie auf die Fahnen schreibt und gleichzeitig eine neue Welt von Stoffen und Prozessen für die kapitalistische Verwertung erschließt - gerade in diesem Kontext beson…
Turning the turn
In many fields within the social sciences and the humanities, the 'material turn' has inspired fresh debates about human-nature relationships, ecology and the meaning of the social. However, the new materialism also poses some theoretical-political problems. These problems relate to the questions of ontology, epistemology and anthropology, as I argue in the first part of this article. In the second part, I argue that some theoretical-political pr…
Dimensions of Emancipation
“Emancipation” is one of the most opaque words in political language and political theory. It refers to the hope of overcoming all forms of domination, yet is articulated with the highly ambivalent notions of reason, progress, equality and liberty, and with the unfulfilled utopias that accompany them. In light of the different and contested uses that have been made of the concept of emancipation within and beyond contemporary feminist theory, I a…
Population, race and gender
In this article I explore the genealogy of the modern politics of reproduction. My claim is that during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries a political-epistemic regime emerged that came to function as a kind of matrix for subsequent projects of regulating and intervening in processes of reproduction. In particular, I show how this regime was constituted through the three interrelated biopolitical problematics of 'population', 'rac…
Temporalities of reproduction
Modes of naturalization
Strategies of naturalization have pervaded throughout the course of modernity. In order to understand both the stability and the discontinuities of modes of naturalization that refer to the knowledge of the life sciences, it is worth going back to the time when biology and related forms of naturalizing sex and race first emerged. The article explores philosophical articulations of biological knowledge at the end of the 18th and the beginning of t…
Racism and Modernity
Concepts of freedom and equality have been connected to forms of racist exclusion throughout modernity. From early modernity to the present, different forms of racism have been invented and enacted that, despite their heterogeneity, can be understood as modes of “negative socialization.” This concept was coined by the German sociologist Wulf D. Hund, who is honored with this edited volume. It means that in modern societies, social coherence relie…
Dezentrierung und Kritik
Philosophiegeschichte als Verflechtungsgeschichte
Susanne Lettow führt Diskurse aus der postkolonialen Theorie und der Globalgeschichte in die Rekonstruktion der Geschichte der Philosophie ein. Sie untersucht die Theorie der Entstehung der Menschenrassen als globale Wissenschaftsgeschichte und verfolgt den Rassenbegriff bei Forster und Kant als Grundlegung einer Vorstellung von Vererbung in der Biologie und den Humanwissenschaften. Dabei gibt sie eine überzeugende Erläuterung der kantischen Vors…
Les bio-technosciences en philosophie
Depuis les années 1960, les bio/technosciences occupent une place centrale dans la réflexion philosophique. L’article présente trois configurations théoriques incarnant des défis majeurs pour les gender studies d’aujourd’hui en philosophie car elles font obstacle, chacune à sa manière, à la discussion sur les implications des bio/technosciences dans le domaine politique et le champ de la théorie des genres : premièrement, le naturalisme scientist…
Bio-Technosciences in Philosophy
Since the 1960s the bio/technosciences have occupied a central place in philosophical thinking. The paper sets out three theoretical configurations embodying major challenges for today's gender studies in philosophy, since they raise an obstacle, each in its own way, to the discussion on implications of the bio/technosciences in the political field and the area of gender theory: firstly naturalism in the field of the philosophy of science; second…
