Philosophie politique et socialisme
La dialectique de la raison. Sous bénéfice d’inventaire
Œuvre phare de la littérature philosophique du XXe siècle, la Dialectique de la raison a tenté d'éclairer les formes de domination et les catastrophes politiques dont ses auteurs Max Horkheimer et Theodor W. Adorno ont été les témoins par une réflexion radicale sur le fonctionnement de la rationalité. Adorno et Horkheimer s’interrogent sur la maladie de la raison qu’ils voient à l’œuvre dans la civilisation elle-même. La question qu’ils posent – …
La extravagante hipótesis
Den vedblivende utopi
PERSISTENT UTOPIA | Persistent utopia is not to be confused with the conservative notion of an eternal utopia as a static and authoritarian ideal. Rather, persistent utopia is an impulse towards freedom and justice. It is a fragile phenomenon which is seeking to avoid the closure of reality through a constant displacement. The sites of the persistent utopia can be located at two different levels: through the ontological thinking of Ernst Bloch an…
Is there a proper way to use the voluntary servitude hypothesis
This article explores the problem of voluntary servitude identified by Etienne de La Boétie in his Discours de la servitude volontaire. The article argues that there is a wrong way and a right way to interpret La Boétie's claim that we voluntarily submit to the power of the tyrant. The wrong way-promulgated by a whole tradition of western political philosophy-uses the voluntary servitude thesis to make a claim about the inevitability of dominatio…

Persistent Utopia
Against the Sovereignty of Philosophy over Politics
Miguel Abensour Against the Sovereignty of Philosophy over Politics: Arendt's Reading of Plato's Cave Allegory HANNAH ARENDT IS CELEBRATED AS ONE OF THE GREAT PHILOSOPHERS of our time. But is such a celebration truly legitimate? Indeed, as surprising and as paradoxical as it may seem, Hannah Arendt has always demonstrated a strong opposition to political philosophy and to its tradition of thought. Despite almost unanimous recognition of Arendt, t…
Philosophie politique, critique et émancipation
En quoi consiste le present renouveau de la philosophie politique ? Il faudrait distinguer entre un banal retour a ce qui est percu comme une discipline academique et un retour des « choses politiques ». Pour penser le retour des choses politiques, une interrogation s’impose sur les rapports entre la theorie critique (Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse) et la philosophie politique. Si la theorie critique tend au catastrophisme, c’…

Savage democracy’ and ‘principle of anarchy’
This essay offers only a broad description of a possible comparison between ‘savage democracy’ in the terms of Claude Lefort and the ‘principle of anarchy’ according to Reiner Schurmann. First, I shall try to define savage democracy. Then, in a second move, after having clarified Schurmann's principle of anarchy, I shall outline the terms for a possible confrontation of their respective views. The point here is to show the extent to which the con…
