In “Aesthetic Negation and Citation: Levinas, Agnon, and the Paradox of Literature,” Lawrence Harvey complicates our expectation that Levinas had an ethical aversion to literature. Not only is Totality and Infinity, for example, bracketed with literary allusions, his mature work makes frequent and appreciative use of it. The author turns to S. Y. Agnon (1888–1970) to offer a complementary model of the ethical force of the kind of literature that “‘de-nucleates’ the totalizing solidity of the underlying Platonic forms.” In “Is Anti-Oedipus Really a Critique of Psychoanalysis?” Axel Chemiavsky explores the foundations of critique in Deleuze and Guattari’s Anti-Oedipus and suggests that the authors combine a Kantian delimitation of the synthesis of the unconsciousness and Nietzsche’s conception of life. Chemiavsky proceeds by first looking at how Anti-Oedipus tries to distinguish between the illegitimate and legitimate uses of synthesis, turning to the question of the object for critique. Psychoanalysis as a conception of life, as Deleuze and Guattari formulate it, is a particular “configuration of desire” where desire itself is multiple. Leo Kwok looks at the problem of what makes understanding philosophical traditions across cultures possible or impossible. The dilemma that either one “assimilates” one tradition into the other or declares an “incommunicability” thesis assumes that intercultural understanding is identical to intercultural philosophy. To solve this dilemma Kwok proposes an approach of intercultural dialogue which begins with questioning, supplemented by what he calls the “TQX model.” This technique (if one may call it so) is demonstrated through looking at ideas from the Mencius and Levinas. He concludes by giving an example of intercultural dialogue with an investigation into the concept of dao as “origin” and Derrida’s articulations of “genesis.” Jiani Fan pushes against the general conception that Nietzsche is an heir to the Ancient Skeptics, contending that Nietzsche’s position is much more ambivalent, his inheritance not without critique. Through an exploration of Nietzsche’s rhetoric, Fan examines the peculiarity of his literary style that, while indebted to the Pyrrhonians, nevertheless reveals an “assertive” yet “non-committal” perspective. This tension reveals a particular uncertainty in value judgments that do not allow for interrogation into presuppositions and criteria. Joshua Stoll in “Being to Being: Sartre, Ramchandra Gandhi, and Abhinavagupta on Intersubjectivity” critically intervenes into Sartre’s notorious assumption that “hell is other people” as we become trapped in the gaze (le regard) of others. Turning to the advaita or non-dual thought of the contemporary Indian philosopher Ramchandra Gandhi as well as the medieval Kashmiri thinker Abhinavagupta,","PeriodicalId":10599,"journal":{"name":"Comparative and Continental Philosophy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41824664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, in his early work, up to and including Totality and Infinity (1961), literary art is often censured with what amounts to Platonic zeal.

Positioned versus Church and State, a refutation of Christendom and its continuations in secular modernity, Kierkegaard’s political theology also exposes the limits and issues of Schmitt’s project. Tracing the influence of Schelling’s eschatological political theology upon Kierkegaard’s thought, Das articulates a political theology “to come” that is based upon the scandalous event of the crucifixion and in turn creates the scandalous ontology of the event. The result is an ontology lived in response to a negative political theology in which we live without probability within the event of Kierkegaardian sovereign love.","PeriodicalId":10599,"journal":{"name":"Comparative and Continental Philosophy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41771916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, critique, in philosophy, is used in certain technical and precise senses. We will try to demonstrate that, technically, Anti-Oedipus is a delimitation of a Kantian sort, an evaluation of a Nietzschean kind, and, finally, a divergence in terms of Deleuze himself. Thanks to this precision, we will find that the target of Anti-Oedipus is not psychoanalysis in general but what Deleuze and Guattari call, respectively, “the illegitimate use of the synthesis of the unconscious,” a conception of life presupposed by psychoanalysis, and a configuration of desire that explains both psychoanalysis and the system in which it functions.","PeriodicalId":10599,"journal":{"name":"Comparative and Continental Philosophy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42612822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His conception of intersubjectivity as being-for-others views the primary relation between oneself and others as oppressive and objectifying; the other, he says, is the death of my possibilities. It will be argued, however, that others also represent precisely the birth of one’s possibilities. To this end, we will interpret the relation of being to being from a non-dual (advaita) orientation through the work of the contemporary Indian philosopher Ramchandra Gandhi and the medieval Kashmiri polymath Abhinavagupta. Both of these thinkers emphasize the act of address as the primary relation between self-conscious beings, a relation that is fundamentally subjectifying rather than objectifying. Through address, we achieve what Sartre argues is impossible: a free recognition of each other as free self-conscious subjects.","PeriodicalId":10599,"journal":{"name":"Comparative and Continental Philosophy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42655540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On other occasions, Nietzsche criticizes the ancient Skeptics because they separate their academic investigations from their philosophy of life and only comply with conventions or apparent phenomena observed through sensations. Furthermore, he ridicules their ultimate goal – tranquility of mind (ἀταραξία) – as a product of feeble exhaustion. He himself is ready to embrace torments of life as part of the will to power.
