Le penseur privé au prisme de l’amitié

Author(s): Lauralie Chatelet / Language(s): French Issue: 23/2019

Cet article propose d’étudier les rapports entre l’élaboration d’une pensée existentielle et l’amitié tels qu’ils apparaissent dans les textes d’Emil Cioran consacrés à Samuel Beckett. En dépit de la solitude intrinsèque au penseur privé, l’amitié semble paradoxalement constitutive de son rapport au monde. // This article aims to study the relationship between the development of an existential thought and friendship as they appear in a few texts of Emil Cioran dedicated to Samuel Beckett. In spite of the private thinker’s inner solitude, friendship seems paradoxically constitutive of his understanding of the world.

Philosophy in the Epoch of Alternative Facts: An Invitation from East Asia

Author(s): Naruhiko Mikado / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The primary aim of this essay was to elucidate the unique philosophical concept of “the non-interpretive”, which Masaya Chiba, one of the most prominent philosophers in East Asia, formulated mainly by bridging the theories of Quentin Meillassoux and Graham Harman, who have generally been reckoned as two of the most pivotal proponents in the contemporary philosophical movement dubbed Speculative Realism. In order to achieve the aim, the first part clarified the chief arguments and doctrines of Meillassoux’s Speculative Materialism and Harman’s Object-Oriented Philosophy. Thereupon, the second and main part investigated how Chiba invented the concept, what it precisely meant, and what insights it could offer for us. The concluding section summarized the chief arguments of this paper and sketched a worldview which we could adopt in order to survive the turbulent epoch of alternative facts and post-truth.

ROMAN INGARDEN’S EGOLOGY AND CARTESIANISM

Author(s): Wojciech Starzyński / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

The article focuses on the problem of egology in the thought of Roman Ingarden, a conception that offers a creative and critical response to Husserl’s egology and converges with the historical conception of the ego in Descartes. It analyses the problem in two stages based on two important texts by Ingarden: Controversy over the Existence of the World and Man and Time. Starting with reflections on the status of pure consciousness, Ingarden recognises the pure ego as something solely abstract compared with the worldly and irreducible real ego. From there his reflections on the ego move on to the problem of its substantiality, specific temporality as well as the role and experience of the body to finally produce a philosophy of existence with ethical and personalistic overtones. In this way Ingarden recreates the egological journey in Descartes, who, searching for the foundation of knowledge, identified subjectivity as the union of body and soul and saw its fulfilment in the ethical experience of generosity.

A filozófiai vita természetrajza. Leo Strauss és Kojève vitája a zsarnokságról és filozófiáról

Author(s): András Lánczi / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 05/2021

There are a number of writings dedicated to the analysis of the controversy between Leo Strauss and Alexandre Kojève on tyranny and the aim of philosophy. This essay makes an attempt to focus not so much on the contents of their particular debate, but on the character of their exchange. The gist of the argument is that philosophy as such is based on various forms of debates including hidden dialogues, discussions or exchanges of ideas. Methodologically the Strauss-Kojève debate is a blueprint for the quarrel between ancients and moderns in the 20th century. One has to take a side of either historicism or the classical view of politics and the nature of philosophy on the whole.

Barthes et l’idiorrythmie

Author(s): Justine Brisson / Language(s): French Issue: 27/2021

En 1974, Barthes voyage en Chine avec des membres de la revue Tel Quel. Ses notes rendent compte du malaise qu’il a ressenti lors de ce séjour. Dans cet article, nous souhaiterions montrer que ce mal-être tient à l’imposition d’un emploi du temps irrespectueux de sa temporalité subjective. Barthes anticipe ainsi le « fantasme idiorrythmique » qu’il théorisera deux ans plus tard, lors de son premier cours au Collège de France. In 1974, Barthes travels to China with members of the French avant-garde literary magazine Tel Quel. His notes give an account of the discomfort he felt during this trip. In this article, we will show how this uneasiness is due to the imposition of a schedule that disrespects his subjective temporality. Barthes thus anticipates the “idiorrhythmic fantasy” he theorized two years later, during his first course at the Collège de France.

La nostalgie dans l’œuvre de Jón Kalman Stefánsson

Author(s): Diane Château Alaberdina / Language(s): French Issue: 27/2021

L’œuvre de Jón Kalman Stefánsson met en évidence une quête inlassable du temps révolu et de la nostalgie. N’étant pas des objets matériels, les vestiges du passé demeurent dépendants de consciences fragiles, sujettes à disparaître avec la mort. La durée rejoint alors la crise existentielle pour devenir un objet narratif, capable de mettre en lumière la conscience diffractée du personnage romanesque. Jón Kalman Stefánsson’s novels highlight a tireless quest for the past and nostalgia. Not being material objects, the vestiges of the past remain dependent on fragile consciences, subject to disappearing with death. Duration joins the existential crisis to become a narrative object, capable of bringing to light the diffracted consciousness of the fictional character.

Le passage du temps à travers les œuvres littéraires d'Haruki Murakami

Author(s): Michel Dion / Language(s): French Issue: 27/2021

Le passage du temps fait changer les choses, êtres et phénomènes. Nous percevons leurs formes diverses, tout en étant impliqués dans le temps objectivement perçu et le temps subjectivement ressenti. Le temps objectif et subjectif n’est pas homogène. Dans ses romans et nouvelles, Haruki Murakami dévoile la conjonction circulaire du passé, du présent et de l’avenir. The passing of time makes things, beings and phenomena change. We perceive their various forms, while being involved in the objectively perceived time and the subjectively felt time. Objective and subjective time is never homogeneous. In his novels and short stories, Haruki Murakami unveils the circular conjunction of the past, the present, and the future.

Le temps des plumes

Author(s): Yves Leclair / Language(s): French Issue: 27/2021

Le poète joue sur la fugue inexorable du temps. Dans le vertige fou de son flux aveugle, il tente de filtrer ce qui sauve le sens d’une vie humaine : la beauté crue ou paradoxale, familière ou exotique. Il célèbre les petites illuminations des choses simples et des êtres qu’il rencontre : la chevelure d’une inconnue, la lumière d’un mimosa fleuri aperçu en hiver, l’éclat du citron jaune. Ces instants médités le ressuscitent provisoirement de la misère de son existence de mortel plus ou moins aveugle. The poet plays on the unstoppable flight of time. In the maelstrom of its blind flux, he tries to filter what may give meaning to human life: the sheer or paradoxical beauty, whether it is familiar or exotic. He celebrates the discreet glittering of simple objects and people he meets: the hair of a stranger, the light of a mimosa in the winter, the brightness of a lemon. These reasoned moments temporarily resuscitate him from the misery of his existence as a more or less blind mortal.

Incantations

Author(s): Fabrice Farre / Language(s): French Issue: 27/2021

L’expérience unique de la vie est une succession d’événements. Tous ont leur importance, car nous sommes mortels. Le temps est donc tragique. Mais le temps n’existe pas. Son absence vertigineuse nous renvoie à notre condition. Sa présence permanente en chacun de nous contraint à chercher un sens, lequel se révèle à la fois rationnel et absurde. The unique experience of life is a succession of events. All of them are important, because we are mortal. So, time is tragical. But time doesn't exist. His dizzying absence brings us back to our condition. His permanent presence in all of us compels to search for meaning, in a rational and absurd way at the same time.

Question de temps (Pas d’oubli, 4)

Author(s): Jean Gabriel Cosculluela / Language(s): French Issue: 27/2021

Le temps est le plus souvent perdu. Comment le prendre sans retard, hors le présent ? La forme de l’oubli ou de l’inconnu est à chercher au présent inlassablement. Emportés, nous lisons dans le cœur des choses. Ne reste à demeure que ce passage du temps, le présent : il est l’attente de l’oubli, il est l’attente de l’inconnu. Il s’agit de s’attendre au présent. Inlassablement. Time is most often lost. How to take it without delay, out of the present? The form of oblivion or the unknown is to be tirelessly sought in the present. Carried away, we read in the heart of things. Only this passage of time remains, the present: it is the waiting of oblivion, it is the waiting of the unknown. It’s about waiting for the present. Tirelessly.

Iskustvo dekonstrukcije

Author(s): Peggy Kamuf / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 11-12/2000

In this text authoress considers if deconstruction can be experienced or is it an experience itself, and that this possibility would have to deconstruct some essential notion we have of what experience itself is. Through the reading of Freud’s essay "The Uncanny" the authoress considers his argument concerning the uncanny experience of fiction, which Freud persists in wanting to distinguish from real experience. She shows that this reading of fiction is the very place where his "deconstruction" of experience, which he calls the uncanny, confirms and accepts a limit that later deconstructive thought will not leave intact. It will be the deconstruction on the limits of real experience.
