Sartre and the Dialectic of Freedom
In Being and Nothingness , Sartre claims that consciousness is absolutely and inevitably free. This article defends his ontological conception of freedom against the charge that it cannot account for our experience of limitation, coercion, and external causal determination. I argue that Sartre's claim should not be understood as asserting the imperviousness of consciousness to external limitations or causes but rather its irreducibility to them. …
Beyond the Neuter Universal
Hegel is a complicated figure for considering the philosophical significance of sexual difference. On the one hand, he grants an essential place for sexual difference in his analyses of nature and spirit. On the other hand, he treats the telos of sexual difference as a kind of sexual indifferentiation. For Hegel, both life and spirit depend on sexual difference but as something to be sublated, that is, preserved but only in so far as it is negate…
Hegel and the Paradox of Presence
This essay evaluates Hegel's claim that the phenomenon of time exhibits a quantitative logic in the context of a paradox concerning temporal presence. On the one hand, in time, the present always is. It seems that the very nature of time, assuming that it is really passing, requires us to assent to the continuous being of the present. If time is always passing, there must always be a present when the passing actually occurs and thus when beings a…
The Entrance of Fact into Essence
Adorno's critique of phenomenology amounts to nothing less than a denial of its possibility as pure eidetic science. This article traces this critique in terms of the dialectic Adorno presents between fact and essence. Following Adorno, I examine how the contingency of fact mediates the possibility of eidetic analysis, rendering any “pure essence” undetermined by fact impossible. In turn, I uncover the generative potential of Adorno's critique fo…
The omnitemporality of idealities
The reasonableness of doubt
Interview with physicist Christopher Fuchs
The Schizoanalysis of Sex
Deleuze and Guattari’s schizoanalytic project has been understood to be antithetical, or at best indifferent, to any project of sexual ontology. Against these dominant views, I argue for an interpretation of the schizo-analytic project that does justice to the differentiation of beings—particularly the human being—according to distinct forms of sexuate morphology. I claim that, although it is largely absent in Deleuze and Guattari’s writings, we …

This section includes eighty-six short original essays commissioned for the inaugural issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. Written by emerging academics, community-based writers, and senior scholars, each essay in this special issue, “Postposttranssexual: Key Concepts for a Twenty-First-Century Transgender Studies,” revolves around a particular keyword or concept. Some contributions focus on a concept central to transgender studies; other…
