| description | Rerouting the tradition of defiant putdown, his name is a shibboleth for
troubled intervention, still unearthing values stubbornly uninterrogated by
other branches of philosophical enquiry. He drew from Carl Schmitt the
persistent atmospherics of hostility to politicize social aspects of
aggregation and Mitsein. The oeuvre of Jacques Derrida thus continues to
stir hostility, generating implications of seething mistrust for the textual
and institutional strategies of a “Derridean” workspace. This is not the
first time that philosophy has been exposed to bad faith or phobic taunts.
Since Socrates’s countdown, we know, as Arendt alerts us, that philosophy
continually faces state hostility. What provokes different types and
gradations of philosophical hostility, prompting a perceptible level of
anger-to this day, dispensing the calculated dosages of mistrust that issue
from other philosophers and civic cohorts? Or is hostility-and the anger
that it breeds, whether historically latent or effective, part and parcel of
the philosophical profile-a course of action? Are philosophers, while
rhetorically armed to the teeth, basically unarmed warriors, politically
hungry, as in the differently deposed cases of Plato and Heidegger? It could
certainly be the case that what attracts hostility is mainly a question of
the objects that are brought into play. But there’s something more at stake. |
