Emanations of Margery Allingham
Is it possible to conceive of a literary text not only as cryptic, but as actually transmitting a crypt? (Nicholas Royle)Margery Allingham’s last completed novel, The Mind Readers, was published by
Existence in its Sexual Being
In 'Geschlecht: Sexual Difference, Ontological Difference', Derrida develops a reading of Heidegger's 'neutral' term 'Dasein' that highlights its openness to a conception of sexual difference that is not yet binary. I explore this theme in relation to two further lines of thought. The first draws Heidegger's remarks on Dasein's factually concrete existence into correspondence with the European humanist tradition and the implications this reveals …
Europe
Europe is inseparable from its history. That history has been extensively studied in terms of its political history, its economic history, its religious history, its literary and cultural history, and so on. Could there be a distinctively philosophical history of Europe? Not a history of philosophy in Europe, but a history of Europe that focuses on what, in its history and identity, ties it to philosophy. In the two volumes of Europe: A Philosoph…
Nietzsche’s Europe
Like Kant a little over a hundred years earlier, Nietzsche saw the history of Europe as moving towards the formation of an integrated political union. Unlike Kant, however, Nietzsche does not see this development as an unambiguous good. Kant had supposed that European integration would belong to a history of constitutional improvements that would make war between what we would now call “democratic” states in Europe increasingly less likely. Nietz…
Varieties of Neoliberalism
The term "neoliberalism" is encountered everywhere today.In popular leftist political rhetoric it is often simply a place-holder for "contemporary capitalism," "austerity politics," and "all that is bad in our world," giving that rhetoric the appearance of a new diagnostic edge.However, one could be excused for thinking that its intelligibility is in inverse proportion to its ubiquity.By defining it in terms of its conceptual relationship with cl…
The End of the World Designed with Men in Mind
According to Derrida, the European self-understanding marking the name "Man" is governed by eschatology and teleology. Man is that being on its way towards its proper end. The times of science seemed to Kant and others to be evidence of just such progress. For Freud, by contrast, the great scientific achievements of Copernicus, Darwin and Freud have cumulatively contributed a series of de-centring blows to our "self-love". This paper explores the…

Japheth's World
This essay explores what it means to say that we live today in “a secular age.” A distinction between two kinds of secularism is introduced and the proposal is made that the secularity that characterises our age belongs to a distinctively Graeco-Christian heritage. This proposal is elaborated and developed in the context of the Nietzschean pronouncement of the death of God and against the background of the decline in theodicial conceptions of his…
What is Phenomenology
Phenomenology is widely credited with being one of the major movements in twentieth-century philosophy. This article attempts to explain the ongoing strength of phenomenology as a force within the contemporary philosophy. It has two parts. The first part outlines the distinctive outlook of phenomenological philosophy. The second part explores a number of key theses that summarily characterise phenomenological inquiries as such. The aim is to prov…
The Idea of Continental Philosophy
The idea of continental philosophy
Providing a clear picture of the state of the contemporary philosophical culture, Simon Glendinning traces the origins and development of the idea of a distinctive continental tradition critiquing attempts to survey the field of contemporary philosophy
Thinking about (going to) the university
Focusing on the possibility of posing questions concerning the essence of the university, the discussion critically explores two traditional shibboleths: the idea of pure learning (the idea that a university education is to be valued not as a means to an end but an end in itself) and the idea of pure inquiry (the idea that research at a university is to be valued not as a means to an end but an end in itself). It is shown that even the most class…
