Objective Reality

This introductory chapter examines the “problem” of nihilism, beginning with its philosophical origins in the ideas of Plato, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger. It is argued that film is an inherently nihilistic medium involving the evocation of illusory worlds cut loose from objective reality. This nihilism of film is distinguished from nihilism in film; the nihilistic content also present in some (but not all) movies. Criticisms of media nihilism by authors such as Thomas Hibbs and Darren Ambrose are examined. It is then argued, contrary to such critics, that cinematic nihilism is not necessarily degrading or destructive. Because the nihilism of film encourages audiences to linger in the presence of nihilism in film, cinematic nihilism potentially trains audiences to learn the positive lessons of nihilism while remaining safely detached from the sorts of dangers depicted on screen.

Point Of Reference

Readers of Giorgio Agamben would agree that the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) is not one of his primary interlocutors. As such, Agamben’s engagement with Nietzsche is different from the French reception of Nietzsche’s philosophy in Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Georges Bataille, as well as in his contemporary Italian colleague Roberto Esposito, for whom Nietzsche’s philosophy is a key point of reference in their thinking of politics beyond sovereignty. Agamben’s stance towards the thought of Nietzsche may seem ambiguous to some readers, in particular with regard to his shifting position on Nietzsche’s much-debated vision of the eternal recurrence of the same.

To Come

This article exploits a core defect in the phenomenology of sensation and self. Although phenomenology has made great strides in redeeming the body from cognitive solipsisms that often follow short-sighted readings of Descartes and Kant, it has not grappled with the specific kind of corporeal self-reflexivity that emerges in the oral sense of taste with the thoroughness it deserves. This path is illuminated by the works of Martin Luther, Jean-Luc Marion, and Jacques Derrida as they attempt to think through the specific phenomena accessible through the lips, tongue, and mouth. Their attempts are, in turn, supplemented with detours through Walter Benjamin, Hélène Cixous, and Friedrich Nietzsche. The paper draws attention to the German distinction between Geschmack and Kosten as well as the role taste may play in relation to faith, the call to love, justice, and messianism. The messiah of love and justice will have been that one who proclaims: taste the flesh.

Una gran victoria es un gran peligro: Max Weber, Friedrich Nietzsche y el problema del epigonismo.

Max Weber

La hipótesis del artículo –cuyo basamento es a la vez teórico, terminológico y biográfico– sostiene que en la crítica al epigonismo que realiza Max Weber entre 1893 y 1895 se manifiesta una influencia directa del proyecto político-cultural del joven Nietzsche, en particular, el condensado en las Consideraciones intempestivas. El epigonismo es el efecto no deseado de lo grande. El dilema al que se enfrentan tanto Nietzsche como Weber puede ser resumido de la siguiente manera: los grandes hombres dificultan el surgimiento de grandes hombres. Con vistas a demostrar la hipótesis, se desarrollará una lectura apegada de “El Estado nacional y la política económica” develando su condición nietzscheana. La parte central del artículo se dedicará a dicho seguimiento, atento a la estructura propia de la Antrittsrede. Seguido al cuerpo del texto se dedicará unas breves páginas dedicadas a la fundamentación biográfica de la plausibilidad de la hipótesis del artículo.

O presente ensaio faz uma análise do pathos dionisíaco, exaltado no personagem André, do romance Lavoura Arcaica de Raduan Nassar. Nos referenciamos na obra de Friedrich Nietzsche O Nascimento da Tragédia, onde encontramos primeiramente as definições das pulsões apolíneas e dionisíacas, segundo o filósofo elas se mantêm em constante conflito no homem, importante ressaltar, que vamos visitar a primeira fase intelectual de Nietzsche para analisar o romance. Nesse sentido, investigamos, como André entrega-se ao pathos dionisíaco, ou melhor, como deixa aflorar seu êxtase pela vida.  O amor por sua irmã, trará o seu aniquilamento. Dionísio é o deus bárbaro que vem do oriente, e traz à tona o lado humano mais vivo e criativo, de entrega e amor. O que nosso ensaio analisa é o pathos do personagem, que rompe com os padrões da época e de sua família em busca de seu eu no mundo, amor e desejos.
