Andrew Culp: Invisibility and the Politics of Disappearance
@ Lang Cafe, Eugene Lang College
Oct 4 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Anonymous, concealed, covert, encrypted, opaque, underground, under cover, unintelligible, hidden in plain sight. Invisibility studies — if we were to refer to it as a field of study — examines wars of appearance. It is not a call for democratizing presence. You will not find it shouting in the streets for better representation. It wants nothing to do with appearance, that essential prop necessary for staging dramas of consciousness raising, visibility politics, and the fight[...]

Aaron James Wendland on “’Authenticity, Truth, and Cultural Transformation: A Critical Reading of John Haugeland’s Heidegger”

Aaron James Wendland on “’Authenticity, Truth, and Cultural Transformation: A Critical Reading of John Haugeland’s Heidegger”
@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Oct 11 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Abstract: On the standard reading, Heidegger’s account of authenticity in Being and Time amounts to an existentialist theory of human freedom. Against this interpretation, John Haugeland reads Heidegger’s account of authenticity as a crucial feature of Heidegger’s fundamental ontology: i.e., Heidegger’s attempt to determine the meaning of being via an analysis of human beings. Haugeland’s argument is based on the notion that taking responsibility for our existence entails getting the being of entities right. Specifically, Haugeland says that our ability[...]

Richard M. Rorty and the Trump Years: On the 20th Anniversary of “Achieving Our Country: Leftist Thought in Twentieth-Century America”
@ Bob and Sheila Hoerle Hall, Rm UL105, University Center, 105
Oct 24 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
David E. McClean, PhD Department of Philosophy, Rutgers University (Newark) Just days after the 2016 presidential election a good deal of attention was given to passages from Richard M. Rorty’s book, Achieving Our Country: Leftist Thought in Twentieth-Century America, published in 1998, for those passages seemed to predict the rise of Donald J. Trump and his stunning election to the presidency. Those passages, though sketchy, seem to provide a tenable explanation for such an unlikely series[...]

Dimitris Vardoulakis on “Authority and Utility in Spinoza: From Epicureanism to Neoliberalism?”

Dimitris Vardoulakis on “Authority and Utility in Spinoza: From Epicureanism to Neoliberalism?”
@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Oct 25 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
The paper argues that Spinoza is influenced by epicureanism. This is evident particularly in the conflict between authority—understood as the kind of figure that is impervious to argumentation—and the calculation of utility (phronesis) that is the precondition of action. This conflict is complex because in certain circumstances we may calculate that it is to our utility to allow a person in authority to calculate on our behalf. The paper indicates, in addition, that the way[...]
