Postmodernity and policy debate

bleeeeezy look!

(Source: thefinaljourney, via ohtheseweatherveins)

the easy answer: the relations between art, aesthetics and disclosive speech in founding a historical subject.

the long answer: it’s a seven section thesis that strives to explain how the internet represents perhaps one of the fullest embodiments of the critique of metaphysical thought. the lineup goes something like this:

searle, habermas, some derrida & lacan on speaking and meaning 

bahktin, habermas, recanati, and heidegger on localizing speech and meaning

young heidegger on leibniz, building the concept of the metaphysical subject

olafson on there being just one heidegger, later heidegger & critique of metaphysics, craig’s kalam argument, a heideggerian deskrution of the kalam

problems and concerns with dreyfus’ account of heidegger’s ontology of art

discussion of the latent hegelian motifs of artworking and the impotence of art as commonly defined. here, i reject neo-kantianism in art and wrap up the importance of disclosive meaning by discussing piet mondrian’s writings and martin seel’s account of the aesthetic subject. but i just went through this conference: https://reason.kzoo.edu/criticaltheory/conference/

and actually interviewed seel so i’ve got some reflection left and conference papers to reference yet.

here are the sections:

Introduction.

Section I.

Revisiting the ‘truth’ of meaning for the linguistic subject

Section II.

Speech genre and the subject’s relation to what is said

Section III.

Section IV.

Section V.
