Kunst nach dem Fortschritt Das Buch zielt auf den Kern des Paradigmas gegenwärtiger Performanzforschung. Marita Tatari entwickelt eine originelle Position, die sich von jeglicher Überwindungslogik ...abgrenzt. Wenn der Übergang vom Drama zu neuen Kunstformen analysiert wird, so geschieht dies zumeist in Begrifflichkeiten, die epistemologisch in Fortschrittsschemata verhaftet sind. Ein Eingriff ins Urmodell des Fortschrittsverständnisses, nämlich Hegels Ästhetik, bildet den Kern des Unterfangens, das Kunstwerk in einem eigenständigen, weder sozialen noch ethischen Sinn als Handlung zu denken, mit den technologischen Bedingungen der Gegenwart zu konfrontieren und aus der Überwindungslogik herauszulösen. Peter Szondis Dramenverständnis, Friedrich Kittlers Austreibung des Geistes, Paul De Mans Dekonstruktion und andere Theorieansätze werden so relativiert und neue Perspektiven auf die Entwicklung von Kunstformen eröffnet.
Filipe Campello arbeitet in diesem Buch eine an Hegel anschließende Auffassung der menschlichen Natur für die Skizzierung einer Theorie der Institutionen heraus. Er betrachtet das Verhältnis zwischen ...Natur und Institutionen in doppelter Weise: Eine deskriptive Perspektive bezieht sich auf die Rolle der Gefühle und Affekte innerhalb sozialer Praktiken. Eine zweite, normative Perspektive untersucht den Beitrag dieser Verständnisweise zu einer Theorie der Institutionen, wenn sie sich nicht nur auf strikt vernünftige und kalkulierende Subjekte bezieht, sondern auch auf deren sozial vermittelte, »zweite Natur« - etwa auf Triebe, Neigungen und Leidenschaften. Es zeigt sich, dass Hegels Sittlichkeitstheorie nicht nur eine historische und immanente Sozialontologie darstellt, sondern auch ein Resultat seiner Kritik an verfälschten Formen sozial orientierter Gefühle ist.
Hegels These vom Ende der Kunst beinhaltet nicht die Todesanzeige für die Kunst. Im Gegenteil: Es handelt sich für Hegel um den Anfang der Entfaltung freier Kunst in der Moderne. Hegels These vom ...Ende der Kunst hat zusammen mit dem Topos vom Ende der Geschichte große Entrüstung ausgelöst. In beiden Fällen führte die unzulässige Identifikation vom Ende mit Untergang und Tod zu einem massiven, bis heute wirksamen Missverständnis. Der Mythos von einem Untergang der Kunst in Hegels Ästhetik wird von manchen noch immer und zu Unrecht zu einer Art Grabrede auf die hegelsche Kunstphilosophie stilisiert. Der vorliegende Band versucht, dieses alte Vorurteil über Hegels Ästhetik zu überwinden.

This book is one of the most important recent books on Hegel, a philosopher who has had a crucial impact on the shape of continental philosophy. Published here in English for the first time, it ...includes a substantial preface by Jacques Derrida in which he explores the themes and conclusions of Malabou's book.
The Future of Hegel: Plasticity, Temporality and Dialectic restores Hegel's rich and complex concepts of time and temporality to contemporary philosophy. It examines his concept of time, relating it to perennial topics in philosophy such as substance, accident and the identity of the subject. Catherine Malabou's also contrasts her account of Hegelian temporality with the interpretation given by Heidegger in Being and Time , arguing that it is the concept of 'plasticity' that best describes Hegel's theory of temporality. The future is understood not simply as a moment in time, but as something malleable and constantly open to change through our interpretation. The book also develops Hegel's preoccupation with the history of Greek thought and Christianity and explores the role of theology in his thought. Essential reading for those interested in Hegel and contemporary continental philosophy, The Future of Hegel is also fascinating to those interested in the ideas of Heidegger and Derrida.
Catherine Malabou is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris X, Nanterre.
In the most influential chapter of his most important philosophical work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel makes the central and disarming assertions that "self-consciousness is desire itself" and ...that it attains its "satisfaction" only in another self-consciousness. Hegel on Self-Consciousness presents a groundbreaking new interpretation of these revolutionary claims, tracing their roots to Kant's philosophy and demonstrating their continued relevance for contemporary thought. As Robert Pippin shows, Hegel argues that we must understand Kant's account of the self-conscious nature of consciousness as a claim in practical philosophy, and that therefore we need radically different views of human sentience, the conditions of our knowledge of the world, and the social nature of subjectivity and normativity. Pippin explains why this chapter of Hegel's Phenomenology should be seen as the basis of much later continental philosophy and the Marxist, neo-Marxist, and critical-theory traditions. He also contrasts his own interpretation of Hegel's assertions with influential interpretations of the chapter put forward by philosophers John McDowell and Robert Brandom. Robert B. Pippin is the Evelyn Stefansson Nef Distinguished Service Professor in the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought and in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. His books include Hegel's Practical Philosophy: Rational Agency as Ethical Life and Henry James and Modern Moral Life.
This fresh and original book argues that the central questions in Hegel's practical philosophy are the central questions in modern accounts of freedom: What is freedom, or what would it be to act ...freely? Is it possible so to act? And how important is leading a free life? Robert Pippin argues that the core of Hegel's answers is a social theory of agency, the view that agency is not exclusively a matter of the self-relation and self-determination of an individual but requires the right sort of engagement with and recognition by others. Using a detailed analysis of key Hegelian texts, he develops this interpretation to reveal the bearing of Hegel's claims on many contemporary issues, including much-discussed core problems in the liberal democratic tradition. His important study will be valuable for all readers who are interested in Hegel's philosophy and in the modern problems of agency and freedom.
In this path-breaking work, Susan Buck-Morss draws new connections between history, inequality, social conflict, and human emancipation.Hegel, Haiti, and Universal Historyoffers a fundamental ...reinterpretation of Hegel's master-slave dialectic and points to a way forward to free critical theoretical practice from the prison-house of its own debates.Historicizing the thought of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and the actions taken in the Haitian Revolution, Buck-Morss examines the startling connections between the two and challenges us to widen the boundaries of our historical imagination. She finds that it is in the discontinuities of historical flow, the edges of human experience, and the unexpected linkages between cultures that the possibility to transcend limits is discovered. It is these flashes of clarity that open the potential for understanding in spite of cultural differences. What Buck-Morss proposes amounts to a "new humanism," one that goes beyond the usual ideological implications of such a phrase to embrace a radical neutrality that insists on the permeability of the space between opposing sides and as it reaches for a common humanity.
Jon Stewart's study is a major re-evaluation of the complex relations between the philosophies of Kierkegaard and Hegel. The standard view on the subject is that Kierkegaard defined himself as ...explicitly anti-Hegelian, indeed that he viewed Hegel's philosophy with disdain. Jon Stewart shows convincingly that Kierkegaard's criticism was not of Hegel but of a number of contemporary Danish Hegelians. Kierkegaard's own view of Hegel was in fact much more positive to the point where he was directly influenced by some of Hegel's work. Any scholar working in the tradition of Continental philosophy will find this an insightful and provocative book with implications for the subsequent history of philosophy in the twentieth century. The book will also appeal to scholars in religious studies and the history of ideas.
