Straipsnyje „Filosofijos ir literatūros susiliejimas nihilistiniame mąstyme“ (Problemos 2010, 77) rašiau, kad postmetafizinė filosofija turėtų suintensyvinti dialogą su literatūra ir galų gale su ja susilieti. Šiame straipsnyje siūlomos dvi galimos šio susiliejimo kryptys: 1) ribų tarp realybės ir išmonės išnykimas. Kartu su G. Vattimo atsisakę korespondentinės tiesos teorijos, prieisime prie išvados apie principinę galimybę bet kuriam naratyvui būti teisingam (angl. truthful). Nihilistiniam mąstymui būdingas silpnesnis realybės jausmas, skeptiškas požiūris į sveiko proto ar natūralistinę poziciją. Tokia situacija,aprašyta Nietzsche’s, skirtį tarp realaus pasaulio ir net neįtikėtinų pasakų daro iš principo neįmanomą. Iš to plaukia keletas toli siekiančių epistemologinių ir etinių konsekvencijų. 2) Susiliedama su literatūra, nihilistinė filosofija ieško kalbos, galinčios artikuliuoti niekį, reprezentuoti tai, kas nereprezentuojama. Straipsnyje šis siekis analizuojamas pasitelkiant postmodernaus diskurso sąvokas – literatūros erdvė, nerimas. Remiamasi Maurice Blanchot, Rolando Barthe’o ir Jeano-François Lyotard’o kūriniais. Susiliedama su literatūra nihilistinė filosofija gali gyvuoti ir neturėdama ką pasakyti.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: nihilizmas, hermeneutika, pramanytumas, niekis, postmodernus.Philosophy and Literature: Two Lines of FusionLeo Luks SummaryIn the article “The Fusion of Philosophy and Literature in Nihilist Thought” (Problemos 2010, 77) I argued that post-metaphysical philosophy should intensify its dialogue with literature to the point of their eventual fusion. In this paper I will start from the conclusions of my previous article and will highlight two possible lines of this fusion:1) The disappearance of the boundary between reality and fiction. Once we let go of the correspondencetheory of truth, as Vattimo recommends, we will arrive at the principled possibility of the truthfulness of any and all narratives. Nihilist thought is characterised by a weakened sense of reality, a renouncement of common sense and naturalism. This condition, described by Nietzsche,where making a distinction between the real world and tall tales is impossible in principle, has several far-reaching epistemological and ethical consequences.2) In its fusion with literature, nihilist thought seeks for a language to articulate the nothing, to represent the unrepresentable. In the paper I will analyse this pursuit by way of the concepts of postmodernity, the space of literature, and anxiety. I will draw on the views of Maurice Blanchot, Roland Barthes and Jean-François Lyotard.By fusing with literature, nihilist philosophy can continue in a situation where it has nothing to say.Keywords: nihilism, hermeneutics, fictionality, nothingness, postmodern.

Though we may be competent at using many technologies, most of what we think we know about technology in general is false. Our error stems from the everyday conception of things as separate from each other and from us. In reality technologies belong to an interconnected network the nodes of which cannot exist independently qua technologies. What is more we tend to see technologies as quasi-natural objects, but they are just as much social as natural, just as much determined by the meanings we give them as by the causal laws that rule over their powers. The errors of common sense have political consequences in domains such as, development, medicine and environmental policy. In this paper I summarize many of the conclusions philosophy of technology has reached reflecting on the reality of our technological world. These conclusions appear as paradoxes judged from our everyday perspective.This paper presents a philosophy of technology. It draws on what we have learnt in the last 30 years as we abandoned old Heideggerian and positivist notions and faced the real world of technology. It turns out that most of our common sense ideas about technology are wrong. This is why I have put my ten propositions in the form of paradoxes, although I use the word loosely here to refer to the counter-intuitive nature of much of what we know about technology.

O artigo discute alguns pontos do pensamento crítico da poeta carioca Ana Cristina Cesar, tendo como foco sua concepção de poesia e literatura. Nosso objetivo é fornecer subsídios, a partir da própria autora, para se perceber o engano de certas leituras que usaram vincular estreitamente sua obra e sua biografia, alimentando uma identificação romântica do senso comum. Essas leituras são alimentadas por dois fatores: o suicídio da autora aos 31 anos de idade e o fato de ela ser dona de uma escrita que remete a escritos íntimos, como o diário e a carta. Em nosso estudo, tentamos mostrar o quanto as reflexões de Ana C. se afinam com alguns importantes pensadores contemporâneos, como Gilles Deleuze, Maurice Blanchot, Roland Barthes, especialmente no que concerne a uma concepção da arte como não-representação. Ana C., the critic behind poetry Abstract The paper discusses some aspects of Ana Cristina Cesar’s critical thinking, focusing on her view of poetry and literature. Our goal is to provide some foundation to the argument that readings of her poetry based on a dose link between her work and her biography, thus fostering a common sense romantic identification, are mistaken. Such readings emerge from two facts: her suicide at the age of 31 and the fact that her writing reflects the intimacies present in diaries and letters. In this paper, we attempt to show the extent to which Ana Cesar’s reflectionsare in harmony with those conveyed by some significant contemporary scholars, such as Gilles Deleuze, Maurice Blanchot, Roland Barthes, particularly in reference to a view of art as non-representation. RÉSUMÉ Cet article discuse certains points de la pensée critique de la poète carioca Ana Cristina Cesar, en tenant par focus sa conception de poésie et littérature. Notre objective c’est de fournir quelques subsides pour percévoir, a partir de ses écrits, les malentendues des études qui ont lié sa production à sa biographie en estimulant une identification romantique pour son oeuvre. Cettes léctures ont été conduites surtout par deux facteurs: le suicide de la poète à l’âge de 31 ans, e le fact de son écriture faire quelques références au style des écrits intime, comme le journal personnel et la lettre. Dans notre étude, on a essayé de démontrer combien les réfléxions d’ Ana C. sont attachées à la pensée de la philosophie de la critique contemporaine, especialement em ce qui concerne à une concéption non-représentative de l’art, comme on l’observe en Gilles Deleuze, Maurice Blanchot, Roland Barthes.

Most of the philosophers assert that every human effort to uncover the myth eventually would be trapped or bring out a new myth. Since the myth is important in order to form the structure of the human mind, then, it is interesting to discuss the analysis proposed by Roland Barthes. The contributions of Barthes, with his study of myth, at least would open a new horizon regarding the understanding, the structure, and the relations of the myth with the real world. Barthes’ efforts in analyzing the myths, especially the contemporary myths, might be taken to be different from what were done by the earlier experts. The studies of Barthes have developed the awarenessand the new horizon about things previously taken unimportant and trivial, especially in the context of the modern world.

Art does not deceive its readers with an illusion of reality, as the common-sense notion has it, but rather pretends to deceive them. For the communicative power of the work of art lies precisely in the fact that we recognise its artificiality, its status as a work within a given genre, following certain conventions, set in a particular frame. What the work really points to, beyond the page, is the existence and actions of a creative consciousness, as that consciousness works through a given set of symbols to express itself. For reading is all about experiencing another’s mind. In the lack. Which makes it a matter of desire. My purpose in the following is to use literature to crack open the everyday, to write about neurosis and psychosis, how they write their way into the real world around us, the dinner table, this novel, a Greek tragedy, I mean Oedipus complex.

Abstract Kevin Schilbrack has pointed out that in my publications over a period from 1994 to 2007 there are some discrepancies in my arguments about some categories, especially “politics” and “culture.” In some earlier research on Dalits and Buddhists in Maharashtra I could not locate “religion,” so I attempted, unsuccessfully, to develop a tripartite conceptual substitution for “religion”—ritual, politics and soteriology—for purposes of description and analysis. However, though this was repeated in Ideology, I have come to realize that it contradicts a more fundamental argument which is tacit all the way through Ideology, for example in the critique of constructions of “religion-and-society.” It has become progressively clearer to me that the religion-politics binary is one of a series which rhetorically invents both domains (fundamentally religion-nonreligion) as mutually parasitic, while simultaneously transforming the nonreligious secular domains into the common sense order of things. Religion acts as the arena of “faith” and “belief ” in contrast to the supposed objective secular knowledge of the “real” world. I have pursued this latter argument most recently in Religion and Politics in International Relations: the Modern Myth, which shows how writers in that discipline have transformed “religion” into a global agent of malice threatening the benignly rational secular state.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
