Dethroning Sovereign Logology
This article opens by considering a famous line from Gorgias that Cassin repeatedly returns to, namely, a line where Gorgias calls logos a great dunastês. In particular, the article examines Cassin's translation of dunastês as 'sovereign' and demonstrates how describing the logos as a sovereign is connected to Cassin's view of the 'almightiness of speech'. Next, it examines Cassin's critique of Derrida when it comes to power, above all, that he i…
The Disrobing of Aphrodite
This article examines a number of philosophical concepts that are at stake in the visual culture of the nude. It particularly focuses on Aphrodite’s appearance, or rather, what I call her exposed concealment, in Jean-Luc Godard’s 1963 Le Mépris. A film, I argue, which is not only concerned with Aphrodite and the figure of the female nude via Brigitte Bardot, but which also explores the very idea of the sex goddess in cinema. In the first section …
Cosmo-nationalism
Interrogates the rise of national philosophies and their impact on cosmopolitanism and nationalismThe idea of national philosophy carries in it a strange contradiction. We talk about 'German philosophy' or 'American philosophy'. But philosophy has always pictured itself to be the project of universality. It presents itself as something that takes place outside or beyond the national - detachable from language, culture and history.So why do we ass…
Bodin on Sovereignty
This article analyses the definition of sovereignty that Bodin provides in his 1576 Six livres de la république, which outlines sovereignty using French, Greek, Latin, Italian and Hebrew terms. It argues that, despite this attention to more than one language, Bodin wishes to present sovereignty as an unbound ideality beyond any and every language. Nevertheless, it is argued that Bodin in fact privileges the French souveraineté as that which sets …
Fichte and the German Idiom
This article argues against the dominant Anglophone and Francophone interpretation of Fichte, which reads him as advancing either a form of ethnic or cultural nationalism. It claims that what is missing from the current reception of Fichte is the essentially philosophical and cosmopolitan character of his nationalism – the fact that the Addresses to the German Nation uses non‐empirical and cosmopolitical concepts to develop and articulate its nat…
