Ryan A. Gustafson, Derrida’s Social Ontology – Institutions in Deconstruction
Sovereignty Crises and the EU’s Moral Challenge
This article investigates the potential responsibility of the European Union (EU) for its ongoing state of permanent crisis, contending that this condition is not merely incidental or externally imposed but rather fundamentally woven into the EU’s political framework. By situating the analysis at the intersection of political philosophy and the conceptual analysis of the idea of Europe, the article reconceptualises crisis not as an exceptional an…
Deconstruction at the Time of Post-Truth Politics
Deconstructionist depiction of fictionality within the relationship between truth and sovereignty helps to understand how time relates to post-truth politics and to counter its proliferation within politics. The article connects the philosophical arguments of Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben to explore the pervasive nature of post-truth within politics. Their differing conceptualisations of the place of time are both fundamentally rooted in th…
Derrida's Wheel – The Circularity of Political (R)Evolutions
This article investigates the relationship between political revolutions and the evolution of politics. It discusses the circularity within the concept of revolution through Jacques Derrida’s theory of sovereignty as particularly per Rogues – Two Essays on Reason and The Beast and the Sovereign. Derrida’s notions of wheel and ipseity display ontological prerogatives and evolutionary limits of political revolutions possibly coinciding with reversa…
Pure Politics and Religion and the Potentiality Not-To-Be
The religious dimension is increasingly at the centre of political claims from individual citizens and collective actors and puts pressure on liberal democracies asserting the separation of politics and religion. The liberal principle of neutrality allows tracing ontological and normative differences between what is and ought to be properly political and religious. Politics would have the potentiality not-to-be religious and keep itself in a spac…
The 2015 Migrant Crisis and EU Member States
This paper questions how the EU Member States handled the 2015 migrant crisis. The EU Humanitarian Aid Policy allows the coexistence of unilateralism, partial delegation and full delegation. Consequently, each EU Member State can also act autonomously. The paper records first the presence of different behaviours among EU Member States in the field of humanitarian aid. Second, it finds a correlation between states’ concern for the defence of their…
The Loss of Sovereignty Control and the Illusion of Building Walls
This paper addresses “walls” as a traditional tool used to establish and preserve sovereignty in different political contexts. By discussing the process of the loss of sovereignty control by states, attention is placed on the impact of phenomena, such as interdependence and integration, on the redefinition of sovereignty repositories. The main hypothesis of this paper is the appearance of an unorganized hypocrisy of sovereignty. Accordingly, stat…
