Jean Harvey: Civilized Oppression And Moral Relations—Victims, Fallibility And The Moral Community, Antonio Calcagno Dec 2014

Jean Harvey: Civilized Oppression And Moral Relations—Victims, Fallibility And The Moral Community, Antonio Calcagno

Antonio Calcagno

There are significant differences between civilized oppression and violent oppression and these differences show not only in the phenomena involved, but also in the nature of those who actively contribute to the two phenomena ('contributing agents'). Fair characterizations of the agents of civilized oppression often require very different descriptions from those applying to violent oppressors. Many of the failings behind civilized oppression are shared by both the contributing agents and a large number of the victims. Often it is the privileged social position of the agents that allows those failings to have such a serious impact, whereas the same failings …


The Transcendental And Inexistence In Alain Badiou’S Philosophy: A Derridean Similarity?, Antonio Calcagno Dec 2014

The Transcendental And Inexistence In Alain Badiou’S Philosophy: A Derridean Similarity?, Antonio Calcagno

Antonio Calcagno

In Logics of Worlds, Badiou claims that his concept of inexistence is similar to Derrida’s différance. This paper argues that Derrida’s double bind of possibility and impossibility, which co-constitutes and flows from the spatio-temporising that is différance, is less binary in its logic than Badiou’s notion of inexistence allows. For Badiou, time and the subject are constituted by the event, by a decision and the fidelity to a decision. He has no real sense of Derridean space: Badiou discusses space as localisation, atoms, situations or the containment that is proper to any set. Derridean spatialsing stems from de Saussure and …


"Comunità Umana", Antonio Calcagno Dec 2014

"Comunità Umana", Antonio Calcagno

Antonio Calcagno

Se noi, per la Stein, accettiamo l’introduzione di una nuova categoria sociale, cioè, la comunità umana universale, bisogna porsi alcune domande. In primo luogo, come giustifica la Stein la tenuta di una siffatta realtà? In secondo luogo, la sua posizione è solida, date le recenti critiche mosse ad una tale possibilità nei lavori di filosofi come R. Esposito e M. Foucault? Ritengo che qui la Stein giustifichi la possibilità del concetto di umanità su un piano fenomenologico e teologico. Oserei dire che possiamo anche trovare motivazioni storico-politiche per la sua affermazione. Infine, sebbene sia veramente convinto della fattibilità del concetto/realtà …

Lived Experience From The Inside Out: The Social And Political Philosophy Of Edith Stein, Antonio Calcagno Dec 2013

Lived Experience From The Inside Out: The Social And Political Philosophy Of Edith Stein, Antonio Calcagno

Antonio Calcagno

While most works devoted to Edith Stein’s philosophical legacy focus on her later, more explicitly Christian works, including Finite and Eternal Being, this comprehensive account offers readers a look into the early social and political philosophy of Stein before her conversion to Catholicism. During this period, Stein produced a significant body of philosophical work drawing on advancements in phenomenology, psychology, philosophy of mind, and sociology. As Antonio Calcagno demonstrates, this leads to a rich account of society, community, and the state through Stein’s analysis of certain states of mind, psychology, and a defense of a law-centered state community. Lived Experience …

Edith Stein’S Philosophy Of Community In Her Early Work And In Her Later Finite And Eternal Being: Martin Heidegger’S Impact, Antonio Calcagno Aug 2011

Edith Stein’S Philosophy Of Community In Her Early Work And In Her Later Finite And Eternal Being: Martin Heidegger’S Impact, Antonio Calcagno

Antonio Calcagno

Edith Stein’s early phenomenological texts describe community as a special unity that is fully lived through in consciousness. In her later works, unity is described in more theological terms as participation in the communal fullness and wholeness of God or Being. Can these two accounts of community or human belonging be reconciled? I argue that consciousness can bring to the fore the meaning of community, thereby conditioning our lived-experience of community, but it can also, through Heideggerian questioning, uncover that which remains somewhat hidden from consciousness itself: its own ground or condition of possibility, namely, being—a being that is both …

Hannah Arendt And Augustine Of Hippo: On The Pleasure Of And Desire For Evil, Antonio Calcagno May 2010

Hannah Arendt And Augustine Of Hippo: On The Pleasure Of And Desire For Evil, Antonio Calcagno

Antonio Calcagno

Hannah Arendt wrote two volumes on thinking and willing in The Life of the Mind, but due to her untimely death her work devoted to judgement, especially political judgement, was never completed. We do, however, have a significant amount of writings on this theme as evidenced by her lectures on Kant’s Third Critique. Judgement and thinking are critical in order to prevent what Arendt calls the “banality of evil”. Drawing on Augustine and Arendt’s work on Augustine, this paper seeks to argue that another form of serious evil has its root in what Augustine calls the libido habendi and the …
