“ Farewell farewell farewell ”: John Ruskin’s Valedictory Gestures

This essay considers John Ruskin’s late lecture, “The Mystery of Life and Its Arts” (1868), in which the Victorian sage imagined he was giving up his career, in order to explore the central role played by scenes of leave-taking in his writings. Uniting a retrospective or elegiac gaze with a prospective or subjunctive finale, the valedictory speaker earns the authority of naming the character of his experience because it is something he may now leave behind. Ruskin’s valedictory gestures, focused in this lecture but stretching across his entire career, suggest that his obsession with failure also structured his understanding of professional authorship.

The Effects of Objects-First and Objects-Late Methods on Achievements of OOP Learners

Our research explored the effects of objects-first and objects-late methods on achievements of object-oriented pro-gramming (OOP) learners during a graduate course. The course’s scope was virtually identical for two groups, but the structure of the contents differed in sequence. The objects-first method emphasized the design and discussion of the object-oriented concepts from the very beginning while the objects-late deferred these concepts to the late lectures. The objects-first learners used all visual functionalities of BlueJ IDE. However, the objects-late learners started with only the text-based interfaces of BlueJ and they benefited its visual support in the last lectures. At the end of the study, we found that there was a statistically significant difference between OOP learner groups.

Encountering the “Ecopolis”: Foucault’s Epimeleia Heautou and Environmental Relations

Frédéric Gros, the editor of Michel Foucault’s 1981-1982 lectures, The Hermeneutics of the Subject, remarks that the last years of Foucault’s life (from 1980 to 1984) were “a period of amazing acceleration, of a sudden proliferation of problematics.” “Never,” he pronounces, “has what Deleuze called the speed of thought been so palpable as in these hundreds of pages, versions, and rewritings, almost without deletion” (Gros 2005: 517). Marking a crucial shift in the focus of Foucault’s thought after a long career of describing systems of power, in this particular series of lectures Foucault lets the figure of the subject appear “no longer [as]constituted [by]” but rather as “constituting itself through well-ordered practices” (Gros 2005:513, italics in the original). My interest in this paper is to examine Foucault’s late lectures on the Ancient Greek practices of epimeleia heautou, or techniques of “care of the self” and their relationship––the way in which they re-encounter––the themes of biopolitics, governmentalityand discipline in his earlier work. In addition, I am interested in how his ideas pertaining to care of the self constitute productive ground for an environmental ethics––an ethics of relating to the spaces that surround and sustain us.

Ethics and Subjectivity

Contemporary accounts of individual self-formation struggle to articulate a mode of subjectivity not determined by relations of power. In response to this dilemma, Foucault's late lectures on the ancient ethical practices of “fearless speech” ( parrhesia) offer a model of ethical self-governance that educates individuals to ethical and political engagement. Rooted in the psychological capacities of curiosity and resolve, such self-governance equips individuals with a “disposition to steadiness” that orients individuals in the face of uncertainty. The practices of parrhesia accomplish this task without fabricating a distinction between internal soul and external body; by creating not a “body of knowledge” but a “body of practices”; and without reference to an external order such as nature, custom, tradition, or religion. The result is an “expressive subject” defined through expressive practices sustained by a simultaneous relationship to herself and to others. Individuals develop themselves not through their ability to “dare to know” but as those who “dare to act.”

Phenomenology of ‘Authentic Time’ in Husserl and Heidegger1

In his dialogue the Timaeus, Plato recognized two aspects of time, the past and the future, but not the present. In contrast, Aristotle’s analysis of time in the Physics took its orientation from the ‘now’. It is the latter path that Husserl follows with his conception of the ‘original impression’ (Urimpression). However, in certain parts of Husserl’s Bernau Manuscripts, the present loses significance because of a novel interpretation of protention. This development, which revitalizes Plato’s understanding of time, is furthered in Heidegger’s late lecture Time and Being: the present can be understood on the basis of the ‘withdrawal’ which determines the mutual relation between the arrival as authentic future and the having‐been as authentic past.

The bodies and the embodiment of modernist painting

This paper considers the theme of materialism that emerged in the late writings of Paul de Man. Drawing on de Man's late essays and lectures, it outlines materialism as a factor of language that philosophical aesthetics must constantly resist or evade to ensure the stability of the category of the aesthetic. It focuses on de Man's still challenging and provocative antipathy towards the category of the aesthetic manifested in the imagery of bodily mutilation of the late writings. The essay then focuses on how these de Manian themes, summed up by the phrase ‘aesthetic ideology’, have been taken up in the writings on modernism of T. J. Clark. It considers two essays on Paul Cézanne to highlight the iconoclastic role Man's elaboration of materialism plays in them. Clark's ‘Freud's Cézanne’ and ‘Phenomenality and Materiality in Cézanne’ see in Cézanne's late painting a disruption or disarticulation of humanism and the body as founding principles of the aesthetic and are marked by a suspicion of the claims and espousals of embodiment of modernism's defenders. Given the strength of the ‘critical-linguistic analysis’ of the category of the aesthetic encountered in de Man's late writings, this essay distances itself from the presuppositions of hermeneutical and phenomenological aesthetics.

Nothing More or Less than Logic: General Logic, Transcendental Philosophy, and Kant's Repudiation of Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre

In this paper I lay the foundations for an understanding of one of Fichte's most neglected and least understood texts: the late lecture course on Transcendental Logic. I situate this work in the context of Fichte's lifelong struggle with the problem of understanding the relation between logic and philosophy – a problem that I show to figure centrally both in Fichte's own revolutionary thinking and in his response to Kant's notorious denunciation of the Wissenschaftslehre. By attending to this context we can understand Fichte's philosophical ambitions in the late lectures: a critique of particular doctrines of general logic; a critique of the conception of thought presupposed both by the traditional logic and by Kant himself; and a new conception of the relation between logic and the philosophical theory of experience.
