Of course, we can. Indubitably, the notion of communicative action expresses a reality of double enactment inherent to any speech act. One is acted up...
It is possible to argue that both stances do not allow for rendering them irrational within Habermas’s theory of communicative action. A commitment to...
What is finitude for Nietzsche? He affirms the primacy of a world of becoming over a world of being: “That everything recurs is the closest approximat...
You can access a reality beyond a direct and immediate perception by looking at theories of a spectator’s or reader’s relation to a film, text, or art...
This interpretation closely follows Foucault’s perspective on the Nietzschean theory of will to power. Thus, it assumes a strong correlation between t...
Habermas insists that his theory breaks with Kantian philosophy of the subject. And, if we leave aside Habermas’s insistence on the primacy of implici...
It is an interesting and affirmative but incomplete perspective on the implications of the theory of a will to power. There is a need to clarify what ...
Thank you for your response. You are correct that Lacan’s desire is incompatible with the Epicurean’s. There is no simple dichotomy for me, with a gro...
This perspective asserts the primacy of power and the way it circulates through a community. But in what way? The circulation ‘from the bottom up rath...
As far as I know, Deleuze never applies the term society regarding his theory of desire. For him, the concept of ‘a society of selves and a society of...
For Lacan, desire is never fully satisfied. Any material or ‘natural’ need requires articulation and recognition demanded from another. After transfer...
It could be understood that your point is based on the premise of a clear and transparent meaning of ‘we.’ When you write: ‘We do have criteria,’ ‘We ...
New materialism revokes the problem of evaluating modes of existence using criteria immanent to the mode itself or to practices as self-sufficient, au...
The direct contact with the general relational field does not ground the materiality of discourses. There is no immediate access to a world external t...
I think that in spite of his statements, Deleuze is close to Foucault; he tries to further reinterpret, radicalize, and reapply the deindivinduation s...
It is worth considering again the principal difference between Foucault and Butler. Butler writes:” I contravene Foucault in some respects. For if the...
Foucault’s approach is quite different from Butler’s. For Foucault, gender is the effect of the ongoing transformations and intensification of supple ...
Thank you for your post, the logical analyses, and the broad conclusions. As you rightly noted, there are no consistently articulated meanings of defe...
In his example, Shackel rebukes Foucault for “arbitrary redefinition” of “elementary but inherently equivocal terms such as ‘truth’ and ‘power’ in ord...
@"Joshs" The figurative style of “The vision and the riddle” allows us to avoid literal and direct approaches to the problem of time. Nietzsche create...
As far as I see, @"Moliere" admitted that his/her position is just a preliminary note of Harvey’s lecture. I have yet to understand your position, lik...
@"Moliere" I do not think, fdrake, that when you write ‘people create systems together,’ you imply one of the theories of the Social Contracts. They a...
I am not sure I understand your account of Harvey’s lecture correctly. It may be concluded that instead of this appearance - ‘the totality of the proc...
Deconstruction of subjectivity as a way of existence and the production of the new was inherited by Foucault, Deleuze, and Derrida from Nietzcshe. I d...
No, it is not. The figures of Nietzsche’s Dionisius, Foucault’s Baudelaire, and Deleuze’s Proust and Kafka have not returned the identity of the same....
No, it is not. Heidegger asserts the rollback of Nietzsche's thought to metaphysics. He misrepresents the doctrine of the will to power and identifies...
This image of time ensues from Benjamin and Foucault's perspectives on Baudelaire's attitude to modernity. For Foucault, Baudelaire aspires to overcom...
Undoubtedly, Heidegger's philosophy of time significantly supports your affirmation of an individual's capacities to maintain autonomy and adaptabilit...
You stress out our freedom to adopt and reconstruct ‘that overarching framework that guides our motives and understandings.’ Yet, this account implies...
Let's assume that you are right, and we are indeed in a situation where the space of allowed public discourse on social platforms was intentionally co...
I want to get back to my previous post. It may be my fault that I could not articulate my central point clearly; it is about the question of the ineff...
It is unclear how this ‘the most radical aspect of Deleuze’ that you embrace is compatible with your perspective on phenomenology and the ineffable. A...
Your account of the ineffable refers to the formal phenomenological structures and our conscious experience. It is a correct but incomplete presentati...
Based on Deleuze's text 'Desire and Pleasure,' it is not difficult to oppose Deleuze and Foucault's ontologies. Yet, in 'Foucault,' Deleuze entirely c...
I guess this quote is from Derrida's memorial note, written after Deleuze's death. Is it from 'I have to wander All Alone? The text's tone is understa...
Could you expand this? In what way Deleuze was close to Derrida's approach? Could you relate Derrida's perspective on power to your quote from 'Desire...
So, ‘the social” here is significantly reduced to what can be expressed by either discursive or the apparent perceptual features of ’my room.’ Such re...
How can the singularity become ungraspable, but recognizable? “We are before this text that, saying nothing definite and presenting no identifiable co...
Yes, there is no such introjection. But our use of language has no more autonomy than our socially situated organization of perception. As you wrote i...
What is the relationship between "the product of a complex constructive activity of perception" (redness), and the embodiment of language here? When I...
https://youtu.be/qciVozNtCDM Professor Mearsheimer has reiterated his known perspective on the Russo-Ukrainian war. After his presentation, an interes...
"It is because of differance that the movement of signification is possible only if each so-called "present" element, each element appearing on the sc...
This account of the birth of capitalism is significantly influenced by structuralist or classical liberal lines of thought: the market is an impersona...
It looked like the purpose of this thread is not just to fixate the basic concepts but also to show why the critique of capitalism is still productive...
It can be more productive to expand the discussion of contemporary capitalism beyond the framework of “the exchange/production distinction so that pro...
There are so many examples around. Take the US right now: every field of social, political, marital, and private life have been transformed into a zon...
What should be added to this account of the birth of capitalism is the reciprocal interrelation between the impersonal production and reproduction and...
Let's go back to the original quote: "the unconscious libidinal investment is what causes us to look for our interest in one place rather than another...
Likely, what is implied here is the improper identification of drives and desire. It does not matter whether drives are directly referred to as instin...
For Deleuze and Guattari, there is not an I that produces but a process of production of which the I is a kind of product. Or, to put this in terms of...
