Résumé:
How could a Rhineland mystic of the 13th century help us better navigate the 21st? In a provocative reading of the work of Meister Eckhart, Peter Sloterdijk offers a compelling answer: What medieval mysticism teaches us is that all there is doesn’t exist per se—everything only exists in relation. For Eckhart, living on Earth is the same as the Holy Trinity: in a(...)

Résumé:
How could a Rhineland mystic of the 13th century help us better navigate the 21st? In a provocative reading of the work of Meister Eckhart, Peter Sloterdijk offers a compelling answer: What medieval mysticism teaches us is that all there is doesn’t exist per se—everything only exists in relation. For Eckhart, living on Earth is the same as the Holy Trinity: in a symbiosis, a form of co-relationship forgotten for too long. The triumph of individualism led to the shared illusion that humans, like everything else on the planet, had an essence, an identity, a being. But nothing could be more false. What everything is, is the others. What everything is, is a shared relationality. We are not alone—we are also all others; we depend on them. In the Anthropocene, when planetary symbiosis has never been more jeopardized, shifting our metaphysics and recalling lessons such as those of Meister Eckhart has become vital.

Legacy of a prestigious political tradition, sovereignty has metamorphosed into a monster in the 19th century, with the advent of nationalism and the ensuing catastrophes that tainted the globe in blood. Today, at a time when nationalist passions seem to be back with a vengeance, a renewed call for sovereignty presents itself as a return towards populations and territories to be defended. Any project aiming at doing away with nations and finding the route towards a larger political ensembles seems to be barred by what is now presented as a sacred value – the one of a people selecting its own way of being governed. But what if this was wrong? What if sovereignty could designate another horizon than the one of nations? What if Europe could become the place for a new experiment on the meaning and extension of sovereignty and democracy? This would mean a sovereign Europe.

Linear history is a myth. In the past, it was useful. But today, it has become more and more unsustainable as its mythical dimension had to face the hard truths of science. With the evolution of physics, in particular quantum physics, we don’t have any choice left: we have to reconsider the nature of history just as we had to reconsider the very nature of reality.

Résumé:
Linear history is a myth. In the past, it was useful. But today, it has become more and more unsustainable as its mythical dimension had to face the hard truths of science. With the evolution of physics, in particular quantum physics, we don’t have any choice left: we have to reconsider the nature of history just as we had to reconsider the very nature of reality. Rather than a univocal logic, looking at time as if it was some sort of a river flowing from the past to the future, quantum theory introduces us to a world made of multiple states and configurations all at once. The present, the future and the past are suddenly changing status, reversing their course or reinventing the precession of one upon the others. But if history has lost its linearity, what does it change for the creatures of history – for us? What does it change for our historical societies? What does it change for politics? The answer is simple: everything. It is high time that we take notice.

Olavi Laiho (1907-1944) was a writer, political organiser, and communist agitator, who was first imprisoned in 1932—a time when "communist laws" were in effect in Finland—for producing political material and running an illegal printing press in his home. He opposed Finland's WW2 era fighting alongside Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union, edited illegal journals, but also planned armed resistance and facilitated correspondence between the party's leadership in Helsinki and the Soviet embassy in Stockholm. Just a couple of weeks before his execution, Laiho wrote a remarkable essay "Katso Koota" [Look at K], using only words starting with the letter K. "Katso Koota" is an early example of Finnish modern alliterative writing, a lipogram, a literary technique in which every word must start with the same letter. Laiho's "Katso Koota" predates the French Oulipo ("workshop of potential literature") of the 1960s. Considering that he produced his "constrained writing" under conditions of extreme political and cultural confinement, it can be considered a true form of avant-garde subversion.

Résumé:
Nietzsche’s philosophy is provocative and complex and has been hugely influential on modern intellectual history and European culture. But his critical approach and writing style invites misunderstandings, sometimes with disastrous consequences. His ideas—or those loosely associated with him—are often briefly cited in scholarly studies in architectural theory and history. His ideas are thought to have influenced the theories and designs of such iconic architects as Le Corbusier, Henry van de Velde, Bruno Taut, Louis H. Sullivan, Lebbeus Woods, and Peter Eisenman, as well as competing approaches to architecture and design, such as those adopted by the Bauhaus School and the Nazis. In the bewildering array of architectural positions that lay claim to Nietzsche as an influence, how can we begin to make sense of Nietzsche’s own approach to architecture? And how can we identify within his complex philosophy the key ideas and themes we require to make sense of his contribution to architecture? This first introduction to Nietzsche’s philosophy written specifically for architects locates his evaluation of appropriate and inappropriate architecture in the body of his writings and presents a clear overview of Nietzsche’s insights into architectural design alongside his advice for architects and designers.

When the human gaze falls on a body, it constructs and deconstructs it. The setting for this is our daily life in all its different shapes and forms. The human body functions here as a semiotic system, an archive, a fiction, a projection screen, or an alphabet. The gaze that encounters it may manifest as an antagonist—be it incisive or flawed—yet it can itself disappear(...)

The human body functions here as a semiotic system, an archive, a fiction, a projection screen, or an alphabet. The gaze that encounters it may manifest as an antagonist—be it incisive or flawed—yet it can itself disappear from view. The texts and images brought together in this volume seek to remove the body from the firing line and away from these judging and derogatory glances. They act as mirrors redirecting looks, points of view, and ideas to enable us to understand implicit and explicit processes of reading.

''If asked to summarize my philosophical thoughts in one sentence, I would say: The Other disappears.'' The more we immerse ourselves in digital communication, the more we lose the sense of touch and the physical presence of the Other. We become entangled in our own egos and become more and more depressed. We live in a society that is becoming increasingly narcissistic, in which individuals are turned in on themselves, incapable of relating to the Other in the way that Eros, as distinct from sex, requires.

Résumé:
"Thinking after Gaza" means recognizing the collapse of universal reason and democracy, the humanistic values that were the famed—and fragile—promise of modernity. But it also means searching for ways to escape the grim future awaiting those born in this disenchanted century: this century that promises to be the last, in which thought has lost all political power and the survival instinct struggles to withstand the ferocity of techno-military extermination machines. To the generation born in the twilight of Western civilization, we owe this last act of thinking, so as to imagine the desertion of our barbaric present, along pathways that have yet to be illuminated. The latest essay by renowned Italian autonomist theorist Franco “Bifo” Berardi, ''Thinking Gaza'' is a reflection on the multivalent consequences—political, philosophical, civilizational—of the current genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. Bearing sober witness to the conditions on the ground in the Occupied Territories, while tracking the “ferocious optimism” that has replaced Enlightenment ideals, this book is addressed not only to activists but also to pacifist philosophers, historians, and theologians.
