Boelderl examines the current state of political theories as developed by ‘deconstructionist’ French philosophers Jean-Luc Nancy and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe regarding their respective stances on the political role of the subject. The dereliction of the subject, meaning the process of recognizing its inner weakness right within the enactment of its highest capacities, reveals itself to be the very condition of the possibility of acting politically, because political action always already implies acknowledging the permanent (ontological) groundlessness of the subject, which in turn calls for its continuous becoming. Given this insight, Boelderl concludes with the question if the subject, rather than being able of giving its life a (political) sense, might not be political in itself insofar as it is required to give its sense a life.

‘We are before Dante’: In this interview, held via email in March 2020 amid the massive outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jean-Luc Nancy leads us on a brief but far-reaching foray through his thought. He succeeds in providing an overview of the subjects that he has raised since the beginning of his career as a philosopher, while maintaining a focus on their pertinence for what we are currently facing in the world today. He supplements his insight that ‘we are before Dante’ with the equally remarkable conclusion: ‘Desire is what is born par excellence’. In between these two propositions, and in between the lines and words documented here – touching upon topics as diverse as the moai statues of Easter Island, the music of Schumann, Wagner, and techno, as well as the writing of Artaud, Proust, and Verlaine – we find an exciting, up-to-date treatment of the question of how to ‘deal with the world intellectually’ (Musil) without, in doing so, participating in the modern claim to ‘master’ it. Instead, Nancy suggests, we ought to be attentive to what escapes us by its very principle, with philosophy, literature, and art serving as witnesses of what has always been absent from our mind, that is, the sensibility of meaning, in order to become aware that, since we are always already before and after birth, ‘we come from nowhere and everywhere’. This realization enables us to understand the political consequences that it has for our understanding of a world in metamorphosis, including for highly controversial issues such as colonialism, anti-Semitism, the far right, neo-liberalism, and other totalitarian forms that supposedly manifest a return of the myth, as well as its consequences for the insurmountability of Marx(ism).

In order to approach the phenomena of responsibility, which is primarily liability and accountability, the author suggests a phenomenological clarification of the question: What is the precondition that makes a responsible life possible? This question should enable to give an answer to another one which is from high anthropological and even political relevance, namely: Is there a spot beyond or "outside" of any responsibility, i.e. can a human being live as "irresponsible" in the radical meaning of the word? The main thesis of the author is that there is a situation in which a human being has no means to act by making any "own" choices and thus everything in his life is imposed to him from the outside. This situation is the nativity and, more concretely, the time-space of the pre-natal human life. The aim of this paper is to analyze this situation by means of Husserl's phenomenological reduction as well as of the "counter reduction" of Mic...

Die Tagung beleuchtet Interdiskursivitäten zwischen Literatur und Philosophie in Musils Werk am Beispiel seines Umgangs mit wissenschaftsphilosophischen Ansätzen im weitesten Verständnis und darunter solchen phänomenologischer Ausrichtung im engeren Sinn – in schlagwortartiger Verkürzung gesagt: zwischen „Mach“ und „Husserl“ – sowie, was letztere betrifft, auch über diese historische Perspektive hinaus, in systematischer Anknüpfung an die zugrundeliegende Fragestellung: Hat Musil – in äußerlichem Einklang mit Husserls berühmtem Aufsatz – das darin erhobene Postulat, Philosophie als strenge Wissenschaft zu betreiben, auf die Literatur und insbesondere den Roman übertragen und zu erproben gesucht, ob und wie dieser als strenge Wissenschaft möglich und durchführbar wäre – mit dem erklärten Ziel vor Augen, das Musil mit dem Essay verbindet: „das Strengste des Erreichbaren auf einem Gebiet, wo man eben nicht genau arbeiten kann“ (KA/Lesetexte/Bd. 14/Ethik und Ästhetik. Über den Essay)?

»Die Zukunft gehört den Phantomen«, so Jacques Derrida 1983 im Film Ghost Dance. In seiner Zukunft – unserer Gegenwart – begeben sich die Autor_innen dieses Text-Bild-Bandes auf deren Spuren in Kunst-, Literatur- und Musikwissenschaft, politischer Philosophie, Kunst und Psychoanalyse.
Am Leitfaden seiner Abarbeitung an der UnGestalt des Phantoms zeichnen Derrida-Kenner und -Leser ein eindrückliches Bild der Dekonstruktion und zeigen, dass diese nichts mit einer früher oft unterstellten Vorliebe für Obskurantismus gemein hat noch vom aktuell erhobenen Vorwurf der Wirklichkeitsverweigerung getroffen wird, sondern im unendlichen Dienst einer radikalen Aufklärung der Vernunft über sich selbst steht.
Mit einem erstmalig auf Deutsch erscheinenden Beitrag von Jacques Derrida.
