Class Description:
Theorizing Crisis, Aspects of Weimar Philosophy
The experience and the aftermath of the First World War, a revolution that failed, a democracy fragile and unwanted, continuous financial turmoil and the rise of fascism: it was against this backdrop that a particular strand of thought emerged in Germany, which has had a lasting legacy and has since enjoyed multiple comebacks. Carl Schmitt's "The Concept of the Political", Walter Benjamin's "Critique of Violence", Siegfried Kracauer's essays, Ernst Junger's "The Worker", Friedrich Pollock's "State Capitalism" and other works by authors from the so-called Frankfurt School are perhaps comparable in that they understand themselves as theorizing in times of emergency, or, as attempts to theorize crisis. This seminar seeks to do justice to the differences between these diverse approaches. It will be impossible to reduce them to equivalent expressions of a shared experience. And yet, at the same time, inquire into their commonalities beyond their obvious political affiliations. Moreover, we will try to determine what it is that constitutes their attractiveness today and discuss the appropriateness of their "application" to contemporary conditions.
