105Before and Above: Spinoza and Symbolic NecessityCritical Inquiry 43 (1): 84-109. 2016.In Spinoza, God is without a name and without a shape. His essence is the very form of the necessity of nature, the infinite regularity, actuality and rationality of what there is. Nothing good, nothing bad in this. All representations of God as a legislator, a creator or a father, endowed with intentions, are only human projections produced by an inadequate understanding of what a cause is. A true cause is never separated from its effect, but is immanent to it, which means that it remains withi…Read more

25Une différence d'écart: Heidegger et lévi-StraussRevue Philosophique de la France Et de l'Etranger 192 (4). 2002.A quelles conditions peut-on tenter une mise en perspective critique des pensées de Heidegger et de Levi-Strauss ? Une telle question exige l'examen du concept de « structure » chez les deux auteurs. De la « structure de l'existence » à la « structure du mythe » ou à celle du jeu, quelle différence, quel écart ? Et n'est-ce pas précisément le territoire secret qui sépare la différence et l'écart qu'il faut explorer ? C'est là ce qu'entreprend l'auteur, retrouvant ainsi la question originaire de …Read more

37The Future of Hegel: Plasticity, Temporality, DialecticHypatia 15 (4): 196-220. 2000.At the center of Catherine's Malabou's study of Hegel is a defense of Hegel's relation to time and the future. While many readers, following Kojève, have taken Hegel to be announcing the end of history, Malabou finds a more supple impulse, open to the new, the unexpected. She takes as her guiding thread the concept of “plasticity,” and shows how Hegel's dialectic—introducing the sculptor's art into philosophy—is motivated by the desire for transformation. Malabou is a canny and faithful reader, …Read more

2Négativité dialectique et douleur transcendantaleArchives de Philosophie 66 (2): 265-278. 2003.Cet article se propose d’examiner le concept de « douleur transcendantale » développé par Heidegger dans le volume 68 de la ‘‘ Gesamtausgabe ’’intitulé ‘‘ Hegel’’. Comment une douleur peut-elle être dite ‘‘ transcendantale ’’en général? Cette question en effet à Heidegger d’affirmer que la négativité hégélienne a une double expression, logique et phenoménologique et n’est donc pas une pure abstraction.

39Before tomorrow: epigenesis and rationalityPolity. 2016.Is contemporary continental philosophy making a break with Kant? The structures of knowledge, taken for granted since Kants Critique of Pure Reason, are now being called into question: the finitude of the subject, the phenomenal given, a priori synthesis. Relinquish the transcendental: such is the imperative of postcritical thinking in the 21st century. Questions that we no longer thought it possible to ask now reemerge with renewed vigor: can Kant really maintain the difference between a priori…Read more

26Counterpath: traveling with Jacques DerridaStanford University Press. 2004.Counterpath is a collaborative work by Catherine Malabou and Jacques Derrida that answers to the gamble inherent in the idea of “travelling with” the philosopher of deconstruction. Malabou's readerly text of quotations and commentary demonstrates how Derrida's work, while appearing to be anything but a travelogue, is nevertheless replete with references to geographical and topographical locations, and functions as a kind of counter-Odyssey through meaning, theorizing, and thematizing notions of …Read more

46The brain of history or the mentality of the AnthropoceneSaq : South Atlantic Quarterly 116 (1): 39-53. 2017.: How is it possible to account for the double dimension of the “anthropos” of the Anthropocene? At once both a responsible, historical subject, and a neutral, non-conscious and non-reflexive force? According to Chakrabarty, the “anthropos” has to be considered a geological force; according to Smail, it has to be considered an addicted brain. A subjectivity without being for the former, an emotional and dependent biological and symbolic entity for the latter. As an in between solution, I propose…Read more

71Another possibilityResearch in Phenomenology 36 (1): 115-129. 2006.We try to explore here the Derridean concept of "possibility." Such a concept has no contraries. It does not oppose effectivity or necessity, or even impossibility, but stays what it is in any case: possible. Trying to negate it or to contradict it only leads to denial. To Derrida, this strange status of possibility is addressed as the question of faith as such, as it appears in "Faith and Knowledge." Every belief is always, at its foundation, belief in the possibility of a completely different …Read more
