Visages de la postmodernité
Jetant un regard en arrière sur Hegel, le premier grand théoricien de la modernité, cet article cherche à discerner les principales forces qui s'opposent dans la transition de la modernité à la postmodernité. Pour ce faire, il propose une interprétation uniquement postmoderne de notions appartenant à la modernité telles l'histoire, le progrès, la révolution, l'universalité, la rationalité, l'humanisme et la société civile. Il affirme que l'époque…
Hermeneutics
THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: ROMANTIC HERMENEUTICSAlthough the term ‘hermeneutics’ (hermeneutica) is, in its current usage, of early modern origin,1 the practice it refers to is as old as western civilization itself. Under the traditional appellation of ars interpretandi, hermeneutics designates the art of textual interpretation, as instanced in biblical exegesis and classical philology. In modern times, hermeneutics progressively redefined itself …
The Political Economy of Civil Society and Human Rights
Madison uses the concept of civil society and his distinctive version of 'communicative rationality' to provide a closely-argued and robust defence of the neo-liberal political and economic tradition. Writing with considerable elegance and humour, the author draws on the hermeneutical and neo-pragmatist traditions, and on a diverse range of evidence and discussion, mainly concerning transitional economies and societies in Eastern Europe and aroun…

The practice of theory, the theory of practice∗
In response to the recent antitheory movement which has called into question the relevance of theory itself, this paper seeks to defend the practice of theory. Taking hermeneutical theory as its model, it seeks to show how a properly postmodern conception of the role and function of theory eludes the criticisms elaborated by various antitheorists. In formulating a new way of envisaging the relation betweeen theory and practice, it seeks not only …
The politics of postmodernity
This paper attempts to delineate some of the principal features and tasks of a politics of postmodernity. An attempt is made in the first part of the paper to reflect on the democratic revolutions of 1989 in Eastern Europe and to discern what lessons they might have to offer. What is called for, it is maintained, is a renewed theory of democracy and, more particularly, a reformulation of traditional liberalism. In the second part of the paper the…
How individualistic is methodological individualism
F.A.Hayek is generally considered to be a representative of what, in regard to the methodology of the human sciences, is commonly referred to as “methodological individualism”; (MI). This paper is an attempt to determine the exact nature and significance of Hayek's own particular brand of “individualism.”; In particular, it attempts to show that Hayek's MI is grossly misinterpreted when it is viewed as being merely another instance of the atomist…

Merleau-Ponty et la contre-tradition
L'Histoire de la pensée occidentale, Heidegger nous le dit, se constitue dans l'unité d'une tradition cohérente et bien définie. Il se peut que sur ce point il ait largement raison. Quoi qu'il en soit, l'œuvre de Heidegger devient elle-même intelligible quand on la considère a la lumière de cette tradition dont elle parle. L'œuvre de Heidegger, on peut alors dire, est la tentative de surmonter la tradition occidentale afin d'instaurer un « nouvea…
