Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J'ai souvent admiré par quels arguments les accusateurs de Socrate ont jadis persuadé aux Athéniens qu'il méritait la mort, comme criminel d'État. Voici, en effet, quels étaient à peu près les termes de l'accusation : « Socrate est coupable de ne point reconnaître les dieux que reconnaît la cité et d'introduire des extravagances démoniaques : il est coupable de corrompre les jeunes gens1. »Et d'abord, il ne reconnaissait pas les dieux que reconnaît la cité. Mais quelles preuves en donnait-on ? On le voyait sacrifier souvent, soit dans sa maison, soit sur les autels publics, et il recourait notoirement à la divination. Socrate disait, et c'était un bruit général, qu'un démon2 venait l'inspirer ; et voilà particulièrement pourquoi on l'accusa d'introduire des extravagances démoniaques. Cependant il n'introduisait pas plus de nouveautés que tous ceux qui croient à la divination, et qui interrogent les oiseaux, les voix, les phénomènes naturels, les entrailles des victimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parmi les faits qui concernent Socrate, il en est un qui me parut digne d'être transmis à la mémoire : c'est, lorsqu'il eut été mis en jugement, sa détermination au sujet de son apologie et de sa mort. D'autres, il est vrai , ont écrit sur ce fait, et tous ont bien rendu la noble fierté de son langage , ce qui prouve qu'en cette circonstance Socrate parla bien ainsi. Mais comment dès lors Socrate était convaincu que pour lui la mort était préférable, c'est ce qu'ils n'ont point fait voir clairement ; de sorte qu'il y a quelque déraison dans la hauteur de ses paroles.

Download or read book The Hermeneutics of the Subject written by Michel Foucault and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2005-04-02 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hermeneutics of the Subject is the third volume in the collection of Michel Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France, one of the world's most prestigious institutions. Faculty at the Collège give public lectures, in which they present works-in-progress on any subject of their choosing. Foucault's wide-ranging lectures influenced his groundbreaking works like The History of Sexuality and Discipline and Punish. In the lectures comprising this volume, Foucault focuses on how the "self" and the "care of the self" were convinced during the period of antiquity, beginning with Socrates. The problems of the ethical formation of the self, Foucault argues, form the background for our own questions about subjectivity and remain at the center of contemporary moral thought. This series of lectures throws new light on Foucault's final works and shows the full depth of his engagement with ancient thought. Lucid and provocative, The Hermeneutics of the Subject reveals Foucault at the height of his powers.

Download or read book No Medium written by Craig Dworkin and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Close readings of ostensibly “blank” works—from unprinted pages to silent music—that point to a new understanding of media. In No Medium, Craig Dworkin looks at works that are blank, erased, clear, or silent, writing critically and substantively about works for which there would seem to be not only nothing to see but nothing to say. Examined closely, these ostensibly contentless works of art, literature, and music point to a new understanding of media and the limits of the artistic object. Dworkin considers works predicated on blank sheets of paper, from a fictional collection of poems in Jean Cocteau's Orphée to the actual publication of a ream of typing paper as a book of poetry; he compares Robert Rauschenberg's Erased De Kooning Drawing to the artist Nick Thurston's erased copy of Maurice Blanchot's The Space of Literature (in which only Thurston's marginalia were visible); and he scrutinizes the sexual politics of photographic representation and the implications of obscured or obliterated subjects of photographs. Reexamining the famous case of John Cage's 4'33”, Dworkin links Cage's composition to Rauschenberg's White Paintings, Ken Friedman's Zen for Record (and Nam June Paik's Zen for Film), and other works, offering also a “guide to further listening” that surveys more than 100 scores and recordings of “silent” music. Dworkin argues that we should understand media not as blank, base things but as social events, and that there is no medium, understood in isolation, but only and always a plurality of media: interpretive activities taking place in socially inscribed space.

Download or read book The Death Penalty Volume I written by Jacques Derrida and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this newest installment in Chicago’s series of Jacques Derrida’s seminars, the renowned philosopher attempts one of his most ambitious goals: the first truly philosophical argument against the death penalty. While much has been written against the death penalty, Derrida contends that Western philosophy is massively, if not always overtly, complicit with a logic in which a sovereign state has the right to take a life. Haunted by this notion, he turns to the key places where such logic has been established—and to the place it has been most effectively challenged: literature. With his signature genius and patient yet dazzling readings of an impressive breadth of texts, Derrida examines everything from the Bible to Plato to Camus to Jean Genet, with special attention to Kant and post–World War II juridical texts, to draw the landscape of death penalty discourses. Keeping clearly in view the death rows and execution chambers of the United States, he shows how arguments surrounding cruel and unusual punishment depend on what he calls an “anesthesial logic,” which has also driven the development of death penalty technology from the French guillotine to lethal injection. Confronting a demand for philosophical rigor, he pursues provocative analyses of the shortcomings of abolitionist discourse. Above all, he argues that the death penalty and its attendant technologies are products of a desire to put an end to one of the most fundamental qualities of our finite existence: the radical uncertainty of when we will die. Arriving at a critical juncture in history—especially in the United States, one of the last Christian-inspired democracies to resist abolition—The Death Penalty is both a timely response to an important ethical debate and a timeless addition to Derrida’s esteemed body of work.
