A Philosophy of Crisis? Methodological and Critical Perspectives
Building on Miguel de Beistegui's Crisis: A Critique (2026, Bloomsbury Academic), this forum exchange debates the book's central arguments and their significance for contemporary social, political, and ecological thought. In contrast to philosophers such as Jacques Derrida, who question the relevance of the concept of crisis because of its entanglement with a meta-physical vision of temporality and history or scholars like Janet Roitman who decon…
Crisis – of Phenomenology
This article locates an irreducible point of crisis in phenomenology’s attempt to think historically and critically. Using the notion of crisis as my guiding thread, I show how Husserlian phenomenology cannot think history, or historically, without renouncing its fundamental principles. I focus on Merleau-Ponty’s diagnosis of a double crisis of western rationality – the collapse of its “civilizing” mission at a time of decolonial struggles and th…
Regimes of Crisis
Towards a Philosophy of Crisis
Thirty years ago, Fukuyama announced the end of history in the form of the triumph of liberal democracy and free markets. Crises were going to be something of the past. Today, crises abound. Does this mean that the eschatology of the 1980s and 90s should give way to a crisology? Given the many ways in which the vocabulary of crisis is used, and crises are instrumentalized, can the word crisis become a rigorous philosophical concept ? In this essa…
Desire in and Beyond Liberalism
Critique & Praxis is nothing short of a colossal achievement, which will be discussed for years to come
Critique and Praxis can be read as a remarkable intellectual history of critical theory in the broadest sense, which demonstrates a highly sophisticated, original understanding of its concepts and methods, its historical, social and political contexts, as well as its unquestioned assumptions and limitations. Harcourt's scholarship and depth of thought are impressive. But Critique & Praxis is much more than that. It is a genuine intervention withi…
The Government of Desire
The Government of Desire
Desire is everywhere – everywhere recognised, displayed, discussed, and drawn upon. It is so much part of our lives, so deeply entrenched in our bodies and minds – so “hard-wired” into our brains, some would say – that we cannot imagine a life without it, indeed cannot imagine what it could mean to live without experiencing its force and appeal, but also the conflicts and struggles it gives rise to. The Law of Desire, Almodóvar would say, is one …
The New Critique of Political Economy
Immanence - Deleuze and Philosophy
This title identifies the original impetus and the driving force behind Deleuze's philosophy as a whole and the many concepts it creates. It seeks to extract the inner consistency of Deleuze's thought by returning to its source or to what, following Deleuze's own vocabulary, it calls the event of that thought

mmanence - Deleuze and Philosophy identifies the original impetus and the driving force behind Deleuze's philosophy as a whole and the many concepts it creates. It seeks to extract the inner consistency of Deleuze's thought by returning to its source or to what, following Deleuze's own vocabulary, it calls the event of that thought. The source of Deleuzian thought, the book argues, is immanence. In five chapters dealing with the status of thought…
Questioning Politics, or Beyond Power
The axiom at the heart of this article stipulates that everything that can be extracted from Heidegger's thought by way of political contribution can be so extracted only from a position that is itself essentially non-political. This means that everything Heidegger says about politics, or that can be seen to resonate with our political situation, is articulated from a position or a space that is itself not political, a space that, furthermore, de…
Science and Ontology
If philosophy today must, as I believe it does, posit itself as ontology again, it cannot do so without engaging in a close confrontation with the natural sciences. Why? First of all, because many

Heidegger and the Political
Recent studies of Heidegger's involvement with National Socialism have often presented Heidegger's philosophy as a forerunner to his political involvement. This has occured often to the detriment of the highly complex nature of Heidegger's relation to the political. Heidegger and the Political redresses this imbalance and is one of the first books to critically assess Heidegger's relation to politics and his conception of the political.Miguel de …

Etude de la troisieme etape du projet de radicalisation de l'ontologie fondamentale chez Heidegger, qui consiste en une metontologie de la totalite de l'etant.
