Symposium: What is Radical Philosophy?

...can make, or the function that he can have, in cultural debate. Certainly Jonathan R~e’s accusations against some aspects of modern philosophy are justifiable: that it adopts an uncritical and dependent attitude towards scientific disciplines, and that it accepts implicitly a technocratic and purely instrumental perspective with respect to the achieveaents of science (cf. the siJailar critique by Haberaas). Nevertheless this line of cri ticiSJll...

Poor Bertie

Poor Bertie Jonathan Rée In the dark midwinter of 1916, Londoners had an unusual opportunity to see radical philosophical principles applied to the urgent issues of the day. The peace campaigner and feminist C.K. Ogden had hired the Caxton Hall for a series of eight weekly lectures on politics, to be given by Bertrand Russell. It was a risky venture, both financially and intellectually. Russell was a small-voiced weedy-looking man; although he was...

The affinities of Richard Rorty and Edward Bellamy: A response to Jonathan Rée

..., Roy Bhaskar and Terry Eagleton (ʻRortyʼs Nationʼ, Radical Philosophy 87) Jonathan Rée confesses himself puzzled by Rorty on one point. He ʻcannot quite understandʼ Rortyʼs ʻaffectionʼ for the bureaucratic collectivist utopia of the nineteenthcentury American socialist and novelist Edward Bellamy. It is indeed an odd affection for a liberal to declare. Hal Draper, in his classic essay The Two Souls of Socialism (1966), described Bellamyʼs 1888 ut...

Philosophy in China

Philosophy in China What Can We Learn From It ? Jonathan Ree China and Chinoiserie I went on a three-week general tour of China in November 1975. I know very well that this does not make me an expert on China; nevertheless many of the rumours about China that circulate in the West derive from sources no more authoritative than myself, so I think I have the right to comment on some of these. The rumours I mean are utopias about the virtues of the...

On National Identity: A Response to Jonathan Rée

On National Identity A Response to Jonathan Ree Ross Poole Jonathan Ree’s ‘Internationality’l makes a number of significant contributions to the sparse philosophical literature on nationalism. The concept which gives the paper its title promises, I think, to be particularly useful. Just as we are now accustomed to think of individual subjects as constituted in and through relations of intersubjectivity, so Ree suggests we should think of individu...

When Cacciari was eighteen, this group founded a journal of critical theory, Angelus Novus, the title of which acknowledges their roots in the thought of Benjamin. Through this period Cacciari developed his early work on ʻnegative thoughtʼ from Nietzsche and Wittgenstein, which in his hands becomes effectively a tool for deconstruction, for s...

Fielding and the Moralists

...e is constantly aware – indeed it is a central theme of both Tom Jones and Jonathan Wild – that overt virtue is very often merely the mask of vice. 20 And yet at tne same time Fielding presents us with cases of extraordinary altruism, such as Tom’s handing over of Lady Bellaston’s £50, practically all the money he has in the world, to Mrs Miller for the relief of her cousin the ‘highwayman’ of his destitute family. We do not need to have read Mand...

Rorty’s nation

Rorty’s nation Jonathan rée I know he has no need of my help, but I sometimes feel rather protective towards Richard Rorty. Especially when I see him being set upon by members of the realist old Left: the salt-of-the-earth socialist internationalists who enjoy looking back to the great days of organized labour, wringing their hands over yet another opportunist who has proved unequal to the struggle and sold out to the blandishments of bourgeoisdo...

Internationality

Internationality Jonathan Ree With the unification of Gennany and the fragmentation of the Soviet Union and its satellites, nationhood has suddenly become a topical issue. * And, by good fortune, scholars are well prepared to debate it: in the past decade several historians and social scientists have revived and perhaps transfonned the whole question of nations and nationalism. The corpus, as they say, which defines the new approach includes four...
