    Sergueï Averintsev a été, dans l’URSS finissante, une figure de légende et une référence morale. À travers la traduction d’une sélection de ses textes, Jean-Noël Benoit nous fait découvrir une forme de dissidence peu connue en Occident, qui n’a pas cherché l’affrontement mais a simplement tourné le dos à l’idéocratie régnante et suivi une logique de retour aux sources. Cette réflexion embrasse toute l’histoire européenne, jusqu’aux questions morales liées à la désoviétisation et aux formes récentes du totalitarisme.

    Whether in characterizing Catharine MacKinnon's theory of gender as itself pornographic or in identifying liberalism as unable to make good on its promises, Wendy Brown pursues a central question: how does a sense of woundedness become the basis for a sense of identity? Brown argues that efforts to outlaw hate speech and pornography powerfully legitimize the state: such apparently well-intentioned attempts harm victims further by portraying them as so helpless as to be in continuing need of governmental protection. "Whether one is dealing with the state, the Mafia, parents, pimps, police, or husbands," writes Brown, "the heavy price of institutionalized protection is always a measure of dependence and agreement to abide by the protector's rules." True democracy, she insists, requires sharing power, not regulation by it; freedom, not protection. Refusing any facile identification with one political position or another, Brown applies her argument to a panoply of topics, from the basis of litigiousness in political life to the appearance on the academic Left of themes of revenge and a thwarted will to power. These and other provocations in contemporary political thought and political life provide an occasion for rethinking the value of several of the last two centuries' most compelling theoretical critiques of modern political life, including the positions of Nietzsche, Marx, Weber, and Foucault.

    "This far-ranging and ambitious attempt to rethink postcolonial theory's discussion of the nation and nationalism brings the problems of the postcolonial condition to bear on the philosophy of freedom. Closely identified with totalitarianism and fundamentalism, the nation-state has a tainted history of coercion, ethnic violence, and even, as in ultranationalist Nazi Germany, genocide. Most contemporary theorists are therefore skeptical, if not altogether dismissive, of the idea of the nation and the related metaphor of the political body as an organism. Going against orthodoxy, Pheng Cheah retraces the universal-rationalist foundations and progressive origins of political organicism in the work of Kant and its development in philosophers in the German tradition such as Fichte, Hegel, and Marx. Cheah argues that the widespread association of freedom with the self-generating dynamism of life and culture's power of transcendence is the most important legacy of this tradition. Addressing this legacy's manifestations in Fanon and Cabral's theories of anticolonial struggle and contemporary anticolonial literature, including the Buru Quartet by Indonesian writer Pramoedya Ananta Toer, and the Kenyan writer Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's nationalist novels, Cheah suggests that the profound difficulties of achieving freedom in the postcolonial world indicate the need to reconceptualize freedom in terms of the figure of the specter rather than the living organism." -- Google Books.

    This text is important both as one of the most interesting contributions to the liberalism of the German Enlightenment, and as the most significant source for the ideas which John Stuart Mill popularized in his essay On Liberty. Humboldt's concern is to define the criteria by which the permissible limits of the state's activities may be determined. His basic principle, like that of Mill, is that the only justification for government interference is the prevention of harm to others. He discusses in detail the role and limits of the state's responsibility for the welfare, security and morals of its citizens. Humboldt's special achievement in this work is to enlarge our sense of what a liberal political theory might be by his particularly sensitive grasp of the complexity of our attitudes to and our need of other people. Dr Burrow has based his translation on Coulthard's version of 1854. In an important introduction, he provides a most perceptive as well as scholarly guide to Humboldt's political thought

In this book G. A. Cohen examines the libertarian principle of self-ownership, which says that each person belongs to himself and therefore owes no service or product to anyone else. This principle is used to defend capitalist inequality, which is said to reflect each person's freedom to do as as he wishes with himself. The author argues that self-ownership cannot deliver the freedom it promises to secure, thereby undermining the idea that lovers of freedom should embrace capitalism and the inequality that comes with it. He goes on to show that the standard Marxist condemnation of exploitation implies an endorsement of self-ownership, since, in the Marxist conception, the employer steals from the worker what should belong to her, because she produced it. Thereby a deeply inegalitarian notion has penetrated what is in aspiration an egalitarian theory. Purging that notion from socialist thought, he argues, enables construction of a more consistent egalitarianism

Addressing this legacy's manifestations in Fanon and Cabral's theories of anticolonial struggle and contemporary anticolonial literature, including the Buru Quartet by Indonesian writer Pramoedya Ananta Toer, and the Kenyan writer Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's nationalist novels, Cheah suggests that the profound difficulties of achieving freedom in the postcolonial world indicate the need to reconceptualize freedom in terms of the figure of the specter rather than the living organism." -- Google Books.

    A riveting story of faith, politics, and ideas, Liberty or Justice for All? brings to life four of America's greatest thinkers, whose dialogue across the ages has never been more relevant. The book traces a striking pattern--the vexed relationship of individual liberty to inclusive social justice--in an elaborate fabric, woven over more than three centuries of American history. Philip F. Gura begins his nimble tale with Jonathan Edwards, a fiery preacher who insisted that God would reward those who embraced social cooperation. One generation later, the Founding Fathers grounded their own project of civic renewal in rights and freedom. But if every citizen is guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, does this mean America is a nation where the individual reigns supreme? America's young democracy soon found its prophet in Ralph Waldo Emerson, who preached a gospel of self-reliance, small government, and self-improvement. But with the coming of the Civil War, Emerson's triumphant individual became a cog in a vast war machine. Radical technological transformations convinced the psychologist-turned-philosopher William James that the self was more fragmented and fragile than Emerson believed. He found virtue in pluralism and diversity, seeing selfishness as the cardinal sin. Two world wars and several failed revolutions later, John Rawls, shaken by the divisions of Vietnam, sought to establish a new secular foundation for social cooperation. Over time, we have sought to hold these opposing value systems in delicate balance, promising both liberty and justice for all

    Peter Olivi repeatedly uses the word "radical" in his works. While this word sometimes means a foundation, it also includes the sense of something absolute or extreme. In this sense, Olivi uses the expression "radical evil", which he defines as "willing with all one’s force something that is most insulting toward God and those who belong to him." In this article, I try to make clear what Olivi means by this definition. I show that the issue is not willing evil for the sake of evil, although for Olivi, there are real cases of strict akrasia. In fact, the acratic understand actually and in general that their choice is contrary to the good. The possibility of acratic action is rooted in a will that is absolutely self-determining and able to will otherwise. The motive of such a choice consists in proud self-love, which is so excessive that it contradicts the will of God and uses others as a means to power. Finally, I show that Olivi also uses the expression "radical virtue," which is so strong that it approaches a form of self-annihilation for the sake of God. Pierre de Jean Olivi utilise a de nombreuses reprises le terme " radical " dans son œuvre. Si ce dernier désigne parfois un fondement, on le trouve aussi au sens d'un absolu ou d'un extrême. Ainsi, Olivi use de la notion de " mauvaiseté radicale " qu'il définit comme le fait de " vouloir de toutes ses forces ce qui est le plus outrageant à Dieu et aux siens ". Dans cet article, nous essayons de préciser ce qu'Olivi entend par cette définition. Nous montrons qu'il ne s'agit pas de vouloir le mal pour le mal, bien que selon Olivi, les cas d'acrasie stricte soient réels. En effet, les personnes acratiques comprennent, de manière universelle et actuelle, que leur choix est contraire au bien. L'option acratique provient d'une volonté absolument autodéterminée et capable des opposées. Le motif de ce choix consiste en un amour orgueilleux de soi à ce point démesuré qu'il s'oppose à la volonté de Dieu et qu'il utilise autrui comme un moyen de pouvoir. Enfin, nous montrons qu'Olivi utilise également le terme de " vertu radicale ", réalité si forte qu'elle s'approche d'une forme d'annihilation de soi au profit de Dieu.

  24. Notre vagabonde liberté
    à cheval sur les traces de Montaigne

    "Je sais bien ce que je fuis, mais non pas ce que je cherche", expliquait Montaigne à propos de la longue chevauchée qu'il fit à travers l'Europe en 1580. Gaspard Koenig aussi sait ce qu'il fuit: les injonctions permanentes des gouvernements et des algorithmes. Il s'est donc lancé sur les traces de Montaigne, en suivant le même itinéraire, avec le même moyen de transport: un cheval, ou plutôt une jument, Destinada. Pour rejoindre Rome, le cavalier et sa monture ont parcouru 2500 kilomètres pendant cinq mois, passant par le Périgord, la Champagne, les Vosges, la Bavière, la Toscane... Toquant aux portes pour trouver gîte et couvert, parcourant les campagnes mais aussi les zones commerciales et les centres-villes, l'écrivain a eu tout le loisir de "frotter et limer sa cervelle contre celle d'autrui", comme le recommandait Montaigne. Dans cette plongée au coeur des territoires, la générosité et l'hospitalité sont presque toujours au rendez-vous. Au rythme du pas, notre modernité révèle ses vertus et ses travers. L'occasion pour l'auteur de renouer avec certains thèmes chers à Montaigne: la relation entre l'homme et l'animal, l'art du dépouillement, les conflits religieux, la diversité des cultures ou les leçons de la nature... Au fond, que Gaspard Koenig pouvait-il bien chercher dans un tel vagabondage, sinon la liberté? La sienne, celle que l'on cultive dans cette "arrière-boutique" où se réfugiait Montaigne. Mais aussi la nôtre, exigence politique plus contemporaine que jamais."--Page 4 de la couverture

    Introduction: Freedom and the Plastic Cage -- Postmodern Exposures, Feminist Hesitations -- Wounded Attachments -- The Mirror of Pornography -- Rights and Losses -- Liberalism's Family Values -- Finding the Man in the State. Whether in characterizing Catharine MacKinnon's theory of gender as itself pornographic or in identifying liberalism as unable to make good on its promises, Wendy Brown pursues a central question: how does a sense of woundedness become the basis for a sense of identity? Brown argues that efforts to outlaw hate speech and pornography powerfully legitimize the state: such apparently well-intentioned attempts harm victims further by portraying them as so helpless as to be in continuing need of governmental protection. "Whether one is dealing with the state, the Mafia, parents, pimps, police, or husbands," writes Brown, "the heavy price of institutionalized protection is always a measure of dependence and agreement to abide by the protector's rules." True democracy, she insists, requires sharing power, not regulation by it; freedom, not protection. Refusing any facile identification with one political position or another, Brown applies her argument to a panoply of topics, from the basis of litigiousness in political life to the appearance on the academic Left of themes of revenge and a thwarted will to power. These and other provocations in contemporary political thought and political life provide an occasion for rethinking the value of several of the last two centuries' most compelling theoretical critiques of modern political life, including the positions of Nietzsche, Marx, Weber, and Foucault
