Against the hierarchy of knowledge
Georges Sorel’s ideas about education are key to making sense of his critique of the Third Republic. Cutting across the heated debates over classical as opposed to modern curricula, Sorel drew on a complex account of the nature of scientific knowledge to offer a sustained defense of education within the factory and on the picket line as a source of individual autonomy. Sorel’s refusal of the practices and modes of institutionalization of liberal …
Violence and Resistance to the State
This paper explains the meaning and significance of violence in Georges Sorel’s Reflections on Violence (1908) through an examination of three distinctions that structure the book. First between the proletarian strike and the merely political strike; second between myth and utopia; third between violence and force. The paper looks to Sorel’s earlier and later writings, and to the strike actions unfolding around him, to argue that violence was a r…
The First Modern Risk
Julia Moses has written an excellent comparative history of British, German, and Italian state-directed workplace accident insurance in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, organized around the “legal gaze” (255) — or how states evaluated workplace accidents for compensation within a field — determined by “the relationship between risk, responsibility and statehood” (10). The main material out of which she constructs this history i…
Beyond Phenomenology as a Decisive Break
Knox Peden has written an excellent and productive book. The title nods to Gillian Rose's classic Hegel Contra Sociology, and she appears at different points in the notes. We can take this as evide
Georges Sorel’s Diremption
Georges Sorel’s use of the term diremption to describe his method has long been found obscure. This paper shows that the term was associated with Hegel, and that interpreting it in this light can help us make sense of Sorel's method. Sorel, this is to say, in his revision of Marxism and his social theory more generally, was engaging specifically with Hegelian philosophy. In addition to clarifying Sorel's method, this perspective allows us both to…
Liberalism and Rationalism at the Revue de Métaphysique Et de Morale , 1902–1903
This article reconstructs and analyzes a debate on “the crisis of liberalism” that took place in a prominent philosophy journal, the Revue de métaphysique et de morale, in 1902–3. The debate was actuated by combiste anticlerical measures and the apparently liberal demand made by Catholics for freedom of instruction. Participants—all hostile to the church—sought to articulate a principled, rationalist liberalism that could respond to the needs of …
