Decadence Contra Nietzsche
Nietzsche’s focus on decadence in the 1880s coincided with the concept’s dominance on the European literary scene. There is, however, little sustained conceptual investigation of the relationship between Nietzsche’s model of decadence and the vision elaborated by authors in what has become known as the “Decadent Movement.” This article argues that such a comparison is philosophically important. On the one hand, it clarifies what is distinctive in…
Flawed Heroes and Historical Moral Culpability
There has been extensive debate concerning past wrongdoers whose culpability is potentially mitigated by being raised in ethically flawed societies: Rosen’s “Hittite lord”, Fricker’s “traditional schoolmaster” and Wolf’s “male chauvinists”, for example. I argue that the most morally and philosophically significant such cases have been overlooked or misunderstood. To show this, I introduce “flawed heroes”: the example I use is Abraham Lincoln on s…
Remembering Maria Rosa Antognazza (1964–2023)
A little over a year ago, we lost one of the leading historians of philosophy of her generation, Prof. Maria Rosa Antognazza. So many in this community also lost a dear friend.Rosa, as she was know
MacIntyre and The Ethics of Catastrophe
MacIntyre characterises liberal societies as suffering distinctive, structural forms of malaise: they are a ‘disaster’, a ‘moral calamity’, sites of ‘barbarism and darkness’. I argue that, whilst we well understand why MacIntyre thinks liberalism is false, it is unclear why this falsity should imply such moral catastrophe. I begin by motivating the question and distinguishing it from the classic liberal-communitarian debates (§§1-2). In particula…
Kant on revolution as a sign of moral progress
This paper addresses a central aspect of Kant's theory of moral progress and its links to both political violence and pedagogy. Kant claims in the Conflict of the Faculties that the reaction to the French Revolution demonstrates that the ‘human race has always progressed and will further progress toward the better’. It thus constitutes a ‘historical sign’, justifying belief in moral development. This paper argues for three points. First, I conten…
A Heideggerian pedagogy of disruption
The phenomenological tradition developed sophisticated techniques to draw attention to pre-theoretic or pre-reflective experience. This article examines how one of the most famous, Heidegger’s ‘broken tool’, might work in a pedagogical context. I contend that it can be highly effective there, fleshing out his vision of teaching as ‘letting learn’ with a distinctive educational method. At the same time, that context suggests fundamental changes to…
No Rest for the Wicked? Symposium on Irene McMullin’s Existential Flourishing
Irene McMullin’s Existential Flourishing (Cambridge University Press, 2018) weaves together virtue ethics and existential phenomenology: the influence of Heidegger and Levinas, in particular, is clear throughout. This paper provides a summary of McMullin’s elegantly argued position and raises a number of possible concerns, particularly regarding the interaction of Aristotelian and Phenomenological assumptions. I focus specifically on the role of …
Exemplars, Institutions, and Self-Knowledge in Schopenhauer as Educator
This article provides a new analysis of Nietzsche's vision of pedagogy in Schopenhauer as Educator. I examine the institutional threats faced by education as he sees them from 1872 onward, focusing on how his account of conformity moves beyond Enlightenment treatments of that topic. I next consider the role exemplars might play in combatting those threats, arguing that Nietzsche develops a distinctive affective and epistemological model of exempl…
The Cambridge History of Moral Philosophy
With fifty-four chapters charting the development of moral philosophy in the Western world, this volume examines the key thinkers and texts and their influence on the history of moral thought from the pre-Socratics to the present day. Topics including Epicureanism, humanism, Jewish and Arabic thought, perfectionism, pragmatism, idealism and intuitionism are all explored, as are figures including Aristotle, Boethius, Spinoza, Hobbes, Hume, Kant, H…
Kant as Both Conceptualist and Nonconceptualist
This article advances a new account of Kant’s views on conceptualism. On the one hand, I argue that Kant was a nonconceptualist. On the other hand, my approach accommodates many motivations underlying the conceptualist reading of his work: for example, it is fully compatible with the success of the Transcendental Deduction. I motivate my view by providing a new analysis of both Kant’s theory of perception and of the role of categorical synthesis:…
Why the Transcendental Deduction is Compatible with Nonconceptualism
One of the strongest motivations for conceptualist readings of Kant is the belief that the Transcendental Deduction is incompatible with nonconceptualism. In this chapter, Golob argues that this belief is simply false: the Deduction and nonconceptualism are compatible at both an exegetical and a philosophical level. Placing particular emphasis on the case of non-human animals, Golob discusses in detail how and why his reading diverges from those …
The ‘Thing’ in Martin Heidegger and Georges Bataille
This article juxtaposes two of the most influential thinkers of the previous century, Georges Bataille and Martin Heidegger: my overarching claim will be that a contrastive approach allows a better understanding of two central dynamics within their work. First, I show that both were deeply troubled by a certain methodological anxiety; namely, that the practice of writing might distort and deform their insights. By employing a comparative strategy…
