28Image-politics: Jean-Luc Nancy's ontological rehabilitation of the imageIn Sanja Dejanovic (ed.), Nancy and the Political, Edinburgh University Press. pp. 139-163. 2015.Nancy's writing on the image may be understood as a critical engagement with the traditions of modern aesthetics and classical theories of art. However, the starting point for his approach to the image indicates that his writing on this topic has much wider ambitions than the treatment of a regional aesthetic topic. Nancy defines the image as a mode of access to sense. Nancy attempts an ontological rehabilitation of the image, which reiterates the precepts of his conception of being as ‘co-prese…Read more

27Introduction to Monique David-Ménard on Kant and MadnessHypatia 15 (4): 77-81. 2000.Ross examines the relation between thought and madness within the practical and theoretical wings of Kant's critical philosophy.

She locates the significance of David'Ménard's essay on Kant's pre-critical works in the idea that Kant's own tendency to madness functions in these early works as a motivational principle for the mature, critical system.

In critical theory, this classical distinction has been adapted to provide an image of emancipated life, as purposively driven, fulfilling and meaningful activity. Aspects of this adapted definition undermine the classical leisure/wo…Read more

26Walter Benjamin’s communismThesis Eleven 166 (1): 16-39. 2021.What does ‘communism’ mean in Walter Benjamin’s writing? It has been used in some quarters to claim that Benjamin has a quasi-Marxist theory of communist society. This paper will argue instead that Benjamin’s communism is framed by his distinctive conception of experience and that it is understandable only through that conception. Benjamin’s image of ‘communist society’ refers to a specific type of experience rather than a type of social organization. The paper discusses the conceptual backgroun…Read more
