3La chute et la chance de la natureArchives de Philosophie 83 (3): 81-98. 2020.L’article présente un regard synthétique sur les enjeux de la philosophie de la nature de l’idéalisme allemand. Il montre pourquoi la philosophie hégélienne de la nature doit être lue non pas seulement comme la chute de l’idée dans une extériorité sans esprit, mais aussi comme la chance de l’esprit qui veut penser le réel tel qu’il est. Il compare cela à l’opposition de la gravité et de la lumière dans la philosophie de la nature de Schelling, et fait finalement une hypothèse sur l’utilité de la…Read more

1Limite-illimité, questions au présent (edited book)Éditions nouvelles Cécile Defaut. 2012.L’enjeu de ce recueil est de contribuer à repenser la notion de limite, en l’envisageant sous les différentes figures, philosophiques, écologiques, politiques, que lui confère notre présent. Comme le montrent, sous des modalités diverses, les contributions de ce collectif, la limite peut et doit être conçue en dehors des valeurs négatives – borne, restriction ou frontière –, qui en affaiblissent la portée. Elle peut alors être pensée sur le fond de cet illimité où s’ouvre la question même du deh…Read more

14Jacques Derrida, l’hospitalité au-delà de la tolérance et l’intolérance au cœur de l’hospitalitéLes Etudes Philosophiques 144 (1): 95-109. 2023.Jacques Derrida a formulé une importante critique du concept de tolérance hérité des Lumières. Évidemment, il ne recommande pas l’intolérance, mais il en appelle à une autre forme de tolérance réinterprétée dans le cadre d’une éthique plus générale de l’hospitalité. La parution en 2021 du volume 1 de son séminaire Hospitalité (EHESS, 1995-1996) permet de préciser ses concepts de l’hospitalité conditionnelle et de l’hospitalité inconditionnelle, ainsi que leur enchevêtrement aporétique. Cet artic…Read more

4Four Transcendental Illusions of the Digital World: A Derridean ApproachResearch in Phenomenology 51 (3): 394-413. 2021.This article considers the remote meeting technologies that have become the unavoidable framework of work during the COVID-19 epidemic. I analyze them with the help of Jacques Derrida’s concepts, thus also illustrating the reach of the latter. The article presents four “transcendental illusions” as supporting the digital world and, according to Derrida, experience. The illusion of proximity: digitality relies on a haptocentric illusion but it also reveals the distance at the heart of touching. T…Read more

42Being with Technique–Technique as being-with: The technological communities of Gilbert SimondonContinental Philosophy Review 52 (3): 299-310. 2019.I present Gilbert Simondon’s thinking of technics, that I take to be so compelling today because it articulates technological reality in ecological terms as a technogeography and life as being-with-the-machines. I will flesh out Simondon’s program for a being-with-the-machines, show how it corresponds to the essence of the technical objects described in terms of milieu and relation indicate how this is based on Simondon’s ontology of individuation suggest a criticism of Simondon, insofar as he w…Read more

13Onto-Technics in Bryant, Harman, and NancyPhaenEx 12 (2): 81-102. 2018.My hypothesis in this article is that it is possible to use the philosophical concept of technics to solve a conflict in contemporary continental ontology between speculative materialist and phenomenological approaches. More precisely, I will show that technics gives a privileged access to ontology because it leads to a “materialist” ontology, avoiding both theological and nihilistic approaches, and because technics, being by definition a domain of artificiality, precludes any explication of it …Read more

9Liberation—of Art and Technics: Artistic Responses to Heidegger’s Call for a Dialogue between Technics and ArtJournal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology 4 (2): 139-154. 2017.This paper is motivated by Heidegger’s invitation to think the essence of technics through a dialogue between technics and art. This dialogue is approached with the help of several artworks belonging to what can be called the “technological turn” in art. First, I draw a schematic picture of notions of instrumentality, rationality, totality, and teleology inherited from classical philosophy of art and technology and challenged by contemporary art. I underline the Romantic claim that art overcomes…Read more

26Monde, fin du monde, défaite du monde La mise en question du monde chez Martin Heidegger et Jacques DerridaRevue Philosophique De Louvain 115 (1): 85-118. 2017.L’article examine la question philosophique de la fin du monde en comparant son traitement par Jacques Derrida et par Martin Heidegger. Nous résumons d’abord le concept heideggérien du monde. Après cela, nous présentons la pensée derridienne de la fin du monde comme sa déconstruction. Derrida oppose notamment à Heidegger l’idée de la mort de l’autre comme «fin du monde chaque fois unique». Dans «No apocalypse, not now», il examine également l’idée de la destruction sans reste du monde et de l’hu…Read more

439On the Night of the Elemental ImaginaryResearch in Phenomenology 41 (2): 157-180. 2011.This essay is a comparison between Schelling's and Blanchot's conceptions of the night of the imaginary. Schelling is the most romantic of the German idealist philosophers and Blanchot the most extreme of the French “deconstructionists.“ Their historical link is actually indirect, but they offer two complementary views on the “same“ impersonal nocturnal experience of the imaginary, the approach of which requires a certain self-overcoming of philosophy towards literature.

5The End of the World: Contemporary Philosophy and Art (edited book)Rowman & Littlefield International. 2017.Omnipresent in popular culture, especially in film and literature, the theme of the 'end of the world' is often rejected from contemporary philosophy as hysterical apocalyptism. This volume attempts to show that it is vital that we address the motif of the 'end' in contemporary world – but that this cannot be done without thinking it anew.

20Natural History TodayPhilosophy Today 60 (4): 975-988. 2016.This essay is a broad overview of philosophy’s capacity of facing the historicity of nature. It shows why classical philosophy of history, especially Hegel, left nature outside of history, and also in what sense this kind of philosophy is outdated. Then it shows how natural sciences discovered historical phenomena since the invention of biology at the very end of the eighteenth century and especially since Darwinism, although these did not examine the philosophical presuppositions of their theor…Read more

43Lost in the World of Technology with and after HeideggerEpoché: A Journal for the History of Philosophy 20 (1): 213-232. 2015.Is Heidegger’s theory of the era of technology a sufficent hermeneutics of contemporary globalization? It remains invaluable because it understands technology in terms of transcendence, and transcencence in terms of being-in-the-world. But should it nevertheless be revised in the context of contemporary social and technological environment? This article shows firstly how Heidegger’s general idea of being-in-the-world is specified in his theory of technology, and how technology reduces man and na…Read more

Mon sujet sera le motif du « rythme » d'après des textes de Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. Bien sûr, j'aurais aimé parler du rythme de Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, du dictamen de sa phrase. Rythme admirable, oui, mais sujet pour moi intraitable dans le cadre d'un essai philosophique. Le rythme de la phrase de Lacoue-Labarthe se fait au creux d'autres rythmes et s'amplifie en chambre d'échos des voix qu'il met en scène, -…Read more

25Derrida’s Quasi-TechniqueResearch in Phenomenology 46 (3): 369-389. 2016._ Source: _Volume 46, Issue 3, pp 369 - 389 The article’s aim is to measure the potential of Derrida’s work for a philosophy of technique. It shows why Derrida does not present a positive philosophy of technology but rather describes technique as a _quasi_-technique, _as if_ a technique. The article inquires into the potential of such a quasi-technique for a contemporary philosophy of technology: it is suggested that it can function as a salutary “deconstruction” of mainstream philosophy of tech…Read more
