To what extent was the non-European a consideration in those efforts of philosophical critical self-reflection? In other words\, to what extent was the history of Europe outside Europe part of that self-reflection? My talk examines this question by looking at a few samples of those efforts\, namely Adorno’s analysis of the “Authoritarian Personality\,” Sartre’s Existentialism and Levinas’s ethical prima philosophia. It compares them with readings of the same epoch and the same phenomena by philosophers from outside Europe\, such as Aimé Césaire\, W.E.B. Dubois and others. My talk ends with a few remarks on some of the findings of this contrapuntal reading and some reflections on the last episode of Europe’s fall in Gaza.

Philosophers and political theorists often underscore the importance of reciprocated speech for sharing in a human world. Hannah Arendt makes this point especially forcefully in The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition\, in which she suggests that ‘speechless’ persons are excluded from the linguistic ‘web of relationships’—they are\, she writes\, ‘literally dead to the world.’ I reconstruct several of Arendt’s analyses of speech and speechlessness\, and argue that they are prima facie exclusionary to nonspeaking persons. I also identify resources in Arendt’s corpus for theorizing unreciprocated speech as a mode of care that can offer listeners footholds in the linguistic spheres of meaning around them. \nMagnus Ferguson (Ph.D.) is a Collegiate Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago and a Harper-Schmidt Fellow in the University of Chicago Society of Fellows. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Boston College in 2023\, and his B.A. in Religion from Columbia University in 2014. \nMore about the New Voices Winter Term Talk Series 25: https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/new-voices-talk-series/ URL:https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/event/new-voices-magnus-ferguson-speaking-others-into-the-world/ LOCATION:online CATEGORIES:Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/wp-content/uploads/Kopie-von-Hannah-Arendt-Today-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20251114T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20251114T180000 DTSTAMP:20260526T145603 CREATED:20251031T092157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251031T101958Z UID:32022-1763136000-1763143200@historyofwomenphilosophers.org SUMMARY:New Voices - Catherine Koekoek: Towards an architecture of democratic infrastructures DESCRIPTION:Hanna Arendt Today\nThe Winter Term Talk Series 2025/26\, organised by Samantha Fazekas (Trinity College Dublin) and Maria Robaszkiewicz (UPB)\, is an online talk series dedicated to Hannah Arendt. \nArendt could aptly be described as a thinker of the crisis\, or perhaps rather of multiple crises. This motif is ever-present in her work and\, indeed\, it is a concept that is becoming ever-present in our own time. This is one of the reasons why academic and public interest in Arendt’s writings is currently skyrocketing. It is because so many politically acute challenges today call not for dogmatic\, but for critical and practical perspectives. In her works\, Arendt seems to be looking for crises: cracks in the fabric of the everyday\, which offer an opening\, enabling individuals to appear before each other and become political actors. It is not that action necessarily needs a crisis\, but a crisis definitely needs action. Crisis\, for Arendt\, is always ambivalent. It presupposes a destructive moment\, but also a constructive one. As she states\, “The opportunity\, provided by the very fact of crisis – which tears away façades and obliterates prejudices to explore and inquire into whatever has been laid bare of the essence of the matter.” A crisis only proves disastrous when the reaction to it consists of recourse to the ways of thinking prescribed by tradition\, answered in conventional\, schematic ways. \nIn line with Arendt’s critical spirit\, and especially her concept of natality (every human’s capability of striking new beginnings in the world)\, this edition of the New Voces talk series introduces contributions of emerging Arendt scholars addressing issues of philosophic and political relevance for the world in which we live today. Topics include the female body\, speech and speechlessness\, dwelling and home\, meanings of property\, and natality in times of dictatorship. Everyone is welcome to join us in discussing Hannah Arendt’s relevance today! \nEveryone is welcome to attend. You will get the Zoom-Link here or at maria.robaszkiewicz@upb.de.
