    Normativité et disruption du vivant dans l’Anthropocène

    Georges Canguilhem, 80 ans après Le Normal et le Pathologique

    Quelle est aujourd'hui la pertinence des concepts de Canguilhem pour la compréhension du vivant et l'action.

    Abstract

    Quatre-vingts ans après, Le Normal et le Pathologique est une référence majeure en philosophie mais qu’en est-il en biologie et en médecine ? Plus précisément, quelle est aujourd’hui la pertinence des concepts de Canguilhem dans la compréhension du vivant et de l’action concernant le vivant ?

  3. What Is Politics?

    Politics is the fight for freedom; freedom does not exist outside of the struggles for it. Freedom is neither transcendent infinite being nor is it an Idea. Since the object of politics is not an Idea, there is no universal form for politics. The péjoration of politics, “politics” as a culture of lies and manipulations for gaining power, presupposes a non-political ideality or an anti-political totality. When philosophy commences otherwise than its ethno-history through an other beginning of philosophy politics is already opening a collective anticipation of freedoms unknown. For that very reason, unknown dangers await our political future.

  5. Que peut la modélisation ? Table ronde

    La modélisation est un enjeu majeur, au cœur de nos actions en écologie et en économie. Son aspect technique conduit cependant à soustraire les discussion à son sujet du débat public, ce qui peut poser un problème démocratique de taille. Dans cette table ronde, nous aborderons la modélisation sous ces aspects pratiques et philosophiques. D’abord en définissant ce qu’est la modélisation et en dressant un panorama des pratiques existantes. Puis dans un second temps en discutant ses limites ainsi que ses dimensions participatives.

  6. Quelles dichotomies en philosophie ?

    Ce colloque sera l’occasion de discuter de l’apparition récente de l’expression “philosophie appliquée” qui interroge à nouveaux frais la définition, les limites et les fins des philosophies des sciences et des techniques. Elle sous-entend, au moyen d’une reprise de la distinction entre recherche fondamentale et recherche appliquée, une dualité entre, d’un côté, une philosophie fondamentale qui serait tournée vers l’élaboration et la discussion de concepts et d’hypothèses qui lui seraient propres ; et, d’un autre, une philosophie appliquée qui serait tournée vers des contextes et enjeux dictés par les sciences et les techniques.

    Bernard Stiegler: Friendship and Fellowship

    On Bernard Stiegler - Philosopher of Friendship

    When I first met Bernard Stiegler, he was starting his program in Plaine Commune, a suburb of Paris that mixes misery of all kinds with young and creative vitality.

    Abstract

    "What I love, and those whom I love, you, that is to say us in so far as we are capable of forming a we, all this I love, and I love them, and I love you infinitely" (Bernard Steigler April 1952- August 2020).
    When Bernard Stiegler writes "I love you" in the quote above, he openly provokes us to question or experience the meaning or contact of these words. He also invites us to question the relationship between a thinker’s life and their thought. For Stiegler, they were inextricable. His life was one that focused on friendship but not friendships at a purely social level but ones that produced philosophy, politics, and existential truths.
    Bringing together scholars who knew Stiegler, including Shaj Mohan, Achille Mbembe, Divya Dwivedi, Peter Szendy, and Emily Apter, this volume provides an original - and personal - insight into his life and philosophy. Each piece gives a sense of the wide range of Stiegler’s work and how it affected the praxis of the philosopher in different parts of the world.

  10. Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution: On Caste and Politics

    Indian Philosophy, Indian Revolution: On Caste and Politics

    In their brave and challenging book, grounded in political science and the Continental philosophical tradition, Divya Dwivedi and Shaj Mohan engage with the resurgence of upper-caste supremacism in India and its justification via the legacy of ‘the Aryan doctrine’ and Hindu nationalism.

    Abstract

    In their brave and challenging book, grounded in political science and the Continental philosophical tradition, Divya Dwivedi and Shaj Mohan engage with the resurgence of upper-caste supremacism in India and its justification via the legacy of “the Aryan doctrine” and Hindu nationalism. Their essays were written from 2016 to 2023, when India’s democratic institutions were subverted and caste-based oppression overflowed into public space―killing and menacing the lower castes of all religions, minorities, women, students and the media.
    This book chronicles the ascending oppression of democracy in India, a veritable biography of authoritarianism. Dwivedi and Mohan reject simplistic accounts of India’s politics as the opposition between “Hindu majoritarian nationalism” and “the religious minorities”, or between “Hindu fundamentalism” and “religious pluralism”. They propose instead a genuinely transformative account of Indian politics, grounded in political philosophy and in the lower- caste majority position
    What does revolution mean where the constitutional promise of equality is betrayed daily by the millennia- old inequality of caste? What does politics mean where religion serves as the justification for descent- based enslavement and indignity? Revolution has only one sense in India, the annihilation of caste; and “citizen” has only one sense, the people of the state shedding caste and racism.
