Sandra Field deposited Democracy and the Multitude: Spinoza against Negri on Humanities Commons 8 years, 8 months ago
Negri celebrates a conception of democracy in which the concrete powers of individual humans are not alienated away, but rather are added together: this is a democracy of the multitude. But how can the multitude act without alienating anyone’s power? To answer this difficulty, Negri explicitly appeals to Spinoza. Nonetheless, in this paper, I a…[Read more]

Eric Brandom deposited Violence in Translation: Georges Sorel, Liberalism, and Totalitarianism from Weimar to Woodstock on Humanities Commons 8 years, 11 months ago
This paper traces readings of Georges Sorel (1847-1922) from Carl Schmitt to Saul Bellow. The image of Sorel that came out of Weimar-era sociological debate around Schmitt and Karl Mannheim was simplified and hardened by émigré scholars in the war years, put to good use in the anti-totalitarian combat of the 1950s, and finally shattered when a…[Read more]

The debate was actuated by combiste anticlerical measures and the apparently liberal demand made by Catholics for freedom of instruction. Participants—all hostile…[Read more]

Eric Brandom deposited Georges Sorel’s Diremption: Hegel, Marxism and Anti-Dialectics on Humanities Commons 8 years, 12 months ago
Georges Sorel’s use of the term diremption to describe his method has long been found obscure. This paper shows that the term was associated with Hegel, and that interpreting it in this light can help us make sense of Sorel’s method. Sorel, this is to say, in his revision of Marxism and his social theory more generally, was engaging spe…[Read more]

It relies on scriptorium documents, temple records, and manuscripts of catalogs to argue that there was no single Buddhist canon in ancient Japan; each was created at a particular moment in a unique configuration to respond to the needs of the patron and…[Read more]
