NATIONALISM , *LIBERALISM , *PHILOSOPHERS , *JAPANESE philosophy , *COSMOPOLITANISM - Abstract
Discussing An Outline of a Theory of Civilization by the Japanese thinker Fukuzawa Yukichi, this essay shows how theorists of liberal nationalism might draw on "non-Western" theoretical resources to enrich their normative ideas and better appreciate their own tradition. I argue that Fukuzawa's work represents an alternative strand of liberal nationalism that complements its mainstream counterpart pioneered by David Miller, Yael Tamir, and others. More specifically, I argue that Fukuzawa's contributions help us reconsider three central claims made by his more mainstream peers: (1) cosmopolitanism poses the most important threat to liberal nationalism, (2) the strength of liberal nationalism lies in its perceptiveness about ordinary people's sense of national belonging, and (3) liberal nationalism emerged in mid-nineteenth-century Europe and spread elsewhere in the age of decolonization. In so doing, I show how the current "comparative turn" in political theory can benefit a specific debate—on liberal nationalism—within the discipline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

WESTERN society , *PHILOSOPHERS , *BROTHERLINESS , *TEACHERS , *FATHERS , *CULTURE , *ISLAMIC civilization - Abstract
Confronted with the dominant demands of Western societies, the heritage of Islamic civilization offers valuable insights into current models and their cultural matrix. The love for the legacy of fathers, the welcome made to teachers, the feeling of brotherhood that unites the peoples, the tension towards a stable truth, shared and accessible to every man and woman express a lot of philosophical culture of Arab-inspired and its relevance for us even today. A singularly eloquent voice is that of the Andalusian philosopher Ibn Rušd (Averroes), whose proposal, properly understood, can be a remedy for the iconoclastic or identity, particularistic and relativistic, or even nihilistic drifts, that mark the present age.

Among the Spanish intellectuals of the XX century, a woman of thought and action stands out. A philosopher committed to the defense of freedom and involved in the transformation of the exercise of power: María Zambrano. He did not underestimate any of the means at his disposal for the formation of citizenship,ethical awareness and cultural dissemination, with the noble desire to operate the humanization of society. He went from the analysis and reflection on the exercise of politics, to direct collaboration with the power in the government of the Republic in cultural and humanitarian positions. Her powerful intellectual contribution influences the revision of thought and opens up new perspectives, helping to modify the image of women in Europe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

6. The shattering of meaning. Jan Patočka and his triple concept of history.

TELEOLOGY ,PHILOSOPHY ,PHILOSOPHERS ,DRAWING - Abstract
My paper aims at laying out the main tenets of Patočka's unusual and highly provocative position with regard to the question of history, drawing essentially on his Heretical Essays on the Philosophy of History, while also gathering insights from other works such as Eternity and Historicity and Europe and post-Europe. In the first part, I set in place the overall framework of this analysis, and show that three distinct, yet entwined concepts of history are operative in Patočka's work: the understanding of history as a specific regime of meaning, as an existential possibility of the human Dasein, and as a "epochal" dynamic. In the second part, I reconstruct the criticism Patočka mounts against the classical philosophies of history and indicate that his rejection of a teleological account of history is compatible with the attempt of establishing an intrinsic correlation between meaning and history. In the final part, I stress the importance acquired by the experience of the "shattering of meaning" for Patočka's threefold understanding of history and argue for the possibility of crafting a unitary framework which would encompass his analysis.

7. A New Path of Thinking for Europe? Care for Life, Personhood, and the Place of Thought in Roberto Esposito.

PHILOSOPHERS , *PERSONALITY (Theory of knowledge) , *CARE ethics (Philosophy) , *POLITICAL theology - Abstract
The philosophy of Roberto Esposito has recently been taking a new path. After a first phase that started an original discussion about the concepts of the "impolitical," he dedicated, in a second phase, more and more attention to questions linked to the concepts of "person" and "personhood" in a critical vein. In the present contribution, I claim that his attempt to avoid such traditional categories to define the human being as a political subject is deeply related to the concept of care, most notably to what I propose to term care of and for life itself. In his last work, which inaugurates a third and new phase, Da fuori. Una filosofia per l'Europa, his reflections focus on the question of how Europe thinks, and sketch out the role of contemporary so-called "Italian Theory" in the framework of today's European thinking. The question of care will therefore be related, in the last part of the present paper, to the problem of understanding the role of though in contemporary Europe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ORIENTALISM , *PROPHETS , *PHILOSOPHERS - Abstract
Napoleon's invasion of Egypt, launched in 1798, is closely linked to the birth of modern Orientalism, which Edward Said describes as the disciplines through which 'the Orient was reconstructed' in forms that brought it 'closer to Europe'. But it can also be linked to what Édouard Glissant calls 'the restlessness of the same disturbed by the other'. This perturbation is the primary object of this essay, which I explore through works by Robert Ker Porter (1777–1842), a well-known artist, traveller and diplomat; Richard Brothers (1757–1824), a popular prophet, who exerted a powerful influence on Europe's millenarian circles in the 1790s; and William Blake (1757–1827), an artist, poet, philosopher and visionary, who is now considered one of Britain's most important writers/artists. As I will argue, in the early nineteenth century, this 'restlessness' is catalyst for attempts to bring the other over to the side of the same (Porter); to bring the same over to the side of the other (Brothers); and finally to dispatch the binary oppositions that underwrite this see-saw (Blake). It is only at the end of our journey, from Napoleon to Porter, Brothers, and then Blake that a modern art and literature comes into view. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From his Problem of Genesis in Husserl's Philosophy (1953–4) to the address given on the fiftieth anniversary of Le monde diplomatique just before he died in 2004, Derrida made constant reference to the subject of Europe. A recent volume of essays, Europe after Derrida: Crisis and Potentiality, seeks to explore this work and the current paper gauges the extent to which it correctly accounts for it. It is suggested that many of the chapters are seriously flawed in failing to note how Derrida's interest in Europe follows that of a long line of philosophers from the phenomenological school, going back to Husserl and including Heidegger and Patočka. Consequently, many of the contributors resort to ideas of identity current in sociology and cultural studies and appear not to understand that central to Derrida's thought is a challenge to such notions. Unlike Gasché's Europe, or The Infinite Task, the only single-volume treatment of Derrida's work on Europe and a text mentioned by only two contributors, they overlook the way in which he proposes that Europe could be precisely a project of pioneering the rethinking of identity.

COSMOPOLITAN democracy , *DEMOCRACY , *NATIONALISM , *PHILOSOPHERS - Abstract
This paper focuses on Habermas's notion of cosmopolitan democracy. Reconfiguring the basic ideas of democracy in postnational terms is inevitable if social and political integration is to succeed on a supranational level. In exploring Habermas's ideas, we draw on Rancière, whose thought stands in a complex relationship to Habermas. On the one hand, Rancière largely shares Habermas's diagnosis of the present. Both bemoan the erosion of the political caused by post‐democracy and censure the rise of right‐wing extremism in Western societies. On the other hand, and in contrast to Habermas, Rancière holds that these problems should be addressed not primarily by strengthening political institutions and reaching a consensus between conflicting parties, but by rethinking conflict and resistance. We show that Habermas's and Rancière's propositions can be productively brought in dialogue by focusing on the paradigmatic types of political subjectivity involved in their accounts: the citizen (Habermas) and the plebeian (Rancière).

PHILOSOPHERS ,ATTENTION ,PHILOSOPHY & literature ,PHENOMENALISM ,GEOPOLITICS - Abstract
When philosophers have turned their attention to Europe they have typically done so in order to interrupt geographical and geo-political determinations of its identity, and to stress instead that its cultural - or spiritual - identity is caught up with the Greek idea of philosophy. Europe, on this classical philosophical construal, is not simply the place where philosophy was first elaborated and developed. On the contrary, Europe first arises as a place only in and through the elaboration and development of philosophy. Europe is thus itself a philosophical phenomenon - its identity inseparable from the idea of a project that concerns 'rational animality' as such, and hence humanity as a whole. In his book on philosophical approaches to Europe from Husserl to Derrida, Rodophe Gasché introduces and defends the classical idea of Europe's Greek origin. Finding a somewhat different stress in Derrida's own study of Europe as a philosophical concept, this review attempts to open up a conception of Europe as a 'philosopheme' which resists conceptual clarification in the terms Gasché recommends, enjoining one instead to a task that is always beyond theoretical lucidity: to 'stick one's neck out' in the name of Europe.

PHILOSOPHERS , *EPOCHE , *PHENOMENOLOGY - Abstract
This article analyzes the lectures and texts from the last period of Czech philosopher Jan Patočka, one of the last disciples of Edmund Husserl, the founding father of phenomenology. The point of departure is Patočka’s critical reception of Husserl’s concept of the crisis of European mankind. There are, however, two other elements distinctive of Patočka’s thought essential for this interpretation. First, he was a classical philosopher aiming at Socratic ‘care for the soul’. Second, he approached the theme of universal human history from his own unique historic position: as a Czech philosopher, involved in the Socratic manner primarily with his own Czech national community, for whom the big question of the future of European mankind and its legacy at the end of its golden modern age is inseparably connected with a ‘small’ one: the question of Czech national existence – the question of the future of his nation in a changing world and the issue of its freedom.

AUTHORS , *ALCHEMISTS , *PHILOSOPHERS - Abstract
Continental authors and editors often sought to ground alchemical writing within a long-established, coherent and pan-European tradition, appealing to the authority of adepts from different times and places. Greek, Latin and Islamic alchemists met both in person and between the covers of books, in actual, fictional or coincidental encounters: a trope utilised in Michael Maier's Symboia aureae mettsae duodecim nationum (1617). This essay examines how works attributed to an English authority, George Ripley (d. c. 1490), were received in central Europe and incorporated into continental compendia. Placed alongside works by the philosophers of other nations, Ripley's writings helped affirm the unity and rruth of alchemy in defiance of its critics. His continental editors were therefore concerned not only with the provenance of manuscripts and high-quality exemplars, but by a range of other factors, including the desire to suppress controversial material, intervene in contemporary polemics, and defend their art. In the resulting compilations, the vertical axis of alchemy's long, diachtonic tradition may be compared to the horizontal plane of pan-European alchemy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

I consider if and how far it is possible to live an educational philosophical life, in the fast-changing, globalised world of Higher Education. I begin with Socrates' account of a philosophical life in the Apology. I examine some tensions within different conceptions of what it is to do philosophy. I then go on to focus more closely on what it might be to live a philosophical, educational life in which educational processes and outcomes are influenced by philosophy, using examples taken from published sources and from conversational interviews with philosophers carried out by myself with Kenneth Wain, Bas Levering and Richard Pring. I then outline the directions of current European policy for Higher Education. Finally I discuss how far current policies and trends leave room for doing philosophy of education, concluding that it is possible, but only for individuals who are very much in sympathy with current policy trends or who are creative in constructing smoke screens.

The article discusses the crisis of the constitution of the European economy. The development of Europe, from the first steps to its unification after World War 2, to the current union of economy and currency after the Maastricht treaty, are discussed in detail. The article addresses the struggle of powers between the economic and the political structure of Europe, as well as the shortcomings of legal instances. The reaction to the economic and financial crisis is discussed and used as an example for the flaws of the European constitution by use of a fictitious debate between philosophers Karl Schmitt and Jürgen Habermans. At the end, a suggestion to overcome the crisis is offered.

The article discusses the history and language of constitutional law and constitutionalism in Europe from the 18th century, when it was introduced to prevent the decay of the polity due to passing aspect of popular opinion, and offers a theoretical analysis. The author argues that the codification of the principals of constitutional law indeed created a stability and continuity in political structures, despite changing interpretations. Topics include the problematic concepts of homogeneity (of the state), identity, and sovereignty, from the perspective of the growth in the status of constitutional law in the 20th century, which he argues philosophers may resolve.

By the time of his death in 1910 at the age of 68 years, William James had become the most influential thinker not just of his own period, but indeed of any period. As the sociologist Jack Barbalet has written: "His European reputation was possibly even higher than his standing in America. James not only represented to European thinkers the American advances in psychology and philosophy, for which he was largely responsible, but he entered into the formation of contemporary European thought as much as he did American." The aim of this paper is to provide a vivid sense of James's personal involvement with European thought generally and continental philosophy specifically, giving some indications about various European countries, but with particular attention to Spain as a case study. Accordingly, the talk divides into three sections: (1) Europe in James; (2) James in Europe: friends and translations; and (3) James in Spain: translations and readers. A number of names and facts will be mentioned, since they provide the general framework for understanding the reception of William James in Continental Europe, but in particular the personal relations between William James and some of the most relevant European thinkers of his time are highlighted.

This article attempts, for the first time, to link some central motives in the thought of Jürgen Habermas with the biographical experiences of the philosopher and social theorist. What are the relations which Habermas himself thematizes in his life story by means of discursive analysis? Three elements are central: the change in significance of the nation state against the backdrop of the process of European integration, the concept of a deliberative democracy, and the timely and controversial issue of the taming of world capitalism. Finally, the article discusses the question of how plausible it is that there is no alternative to capitalism and to what extent democracy can tame capitalism. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Today, Constantin François Volney (1757-1820) is an obscure figure. He was once one of the most notorious philosophers in Europe. Celebrated and reviled in equal measure, this philosopher, historian, linguist, travel writer and politician was for two generations the most widely read philosopher of the French Revolution. His work was banned in many countries, but it was distributed by networks of admirers across Europe and its colonial world. Throughout one of the most turbulent eras in European history, Volney sought to develop a philosophical system that would ground private morality and public governance in a scientific understanding of the physiology of the human body and the laws of collective life. His attempts to do so, and the context in which those attempts were made, shed light on the genealogy and early politics of the social sciences in Europe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CULTURE ,PHILOSOPHERS ,PROTAGONISTS (Persons) in literature ,STALINISM - Abstract
This article analyzes Romain Gary's novel Europe (1972), which looks at Europe's fate through the prism of the crisis of culture. Oswald Spengler, the philosopher of culture, is joined to Gary, the writer, via the 18th century, to which both awarded an important place in the history of Europe. Their starting positions, however, differ in that the French writer associates the sunset of culture with the antagonism between reality and culture, whereas the German philosopher believes that every culture sooner or later turns into a civilization. At the novel's center there stands Jean Danthès, the French ambassador in Italy, a survivor of Nazi concentration camp horrors. Surveying Europe's history, he not only judges the fate of culture but also seeks to comprehend Europe's unity. Because in this work the protagonist and other personages (Malvina, Erica, Mark) state their views on Europe and its fate, Europe may be called a thesis novel. Moreover, Jean Danthès himself becomes a multifaceted personage embodying diverse ideas. In his novel the author opposes the 18th and the 20th centuries. If through the eyes of his protagonist he looks at the 18th century as a sort of ideal, then the 20th is compared to a horrible misfortune manifested by two world wars, Naziism and Stalinism, the Holocaust, and the victims of Stalinist deportations. But even in the bleakest of epochs, in the author's opinion, islands of culture may appear, or at least a glimmering of culture. It is no accident that the protagonist ties Europe's vitality to culture, although sometimes the elite is powerless to change the situation. Nevertheless the author understands perfectly well that even the road suggested by Danthès's son Mark, that of the permanent revolution, is just another kind of utopia. Therefore, the author deliberates on Europe's fate and is sorry to see the signs of culture's sunset but is unable to suggest a specific vision for the future. But in describing the situation as it exists in reality, the author is as it were inviting his readers to think about where Europe is headed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to compare the discussions on the theory of the term of "play" between Gadamer who is an important actor of hermeneutic and philosophy of continental Europe and Wittgenstein who has important effects on the scope of today's analytical philosophy. This article also aims to describe the main arguments of these two philosophers. The discussion also puts the backgrounds of the philosophies of the philosophers forward by referring to the discussions between continental Europe and analytical philosophy. Wittgenstein's "language games" which refer to the second term philosophy, pass over the close and strict frontiers of the first term as meaning. But his thinking of games is a mechanical process. In this research, differences between the two philosophers. Gadamer and Wittgenstein, in respect to the two traditions attempt to be understood, compared and investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
