Kant's Transcendental Deduction and the Theory of Apperception
This volume examines (1) the philosophical sources of the Kantian concepts "apperception" and "self-consciousness", (2) the historical development of the theories of apperception and deduction of categories within the pre-critical period, (3) the structure and content of A- as well as B-deduction of categories, and finally (4) the Kantian (and non-Kantian) meaning of "apperception" and "self-consciousness".
Migration, New Nationalisms and Populism
This book examines the antagonistic relationship between new European nationalisms as these often go hand-in-hand with populism, and the phenomenon of migration. Migration has become a significant issue both in Europe and the whole world. Although it has always existed, much of public opinion sees it now as a problem. The latter has been exaggerated through a crisis in hospitality exacerbated by the relatively recently constructed and misplaced feeling of a civilisational threat from islam. Migration is then countered by the escalation of new nationalisms, at least some of which are supported by populism. This book offers an understanding of this conjunction of migration and nationalism in t...
The Travels of Mendes Pinto
"Chronicling adventures from Ethiopia to Japan, Travels covers twenty years of Mendes Pinto’s odyssey as a soldier, a merchant, a diplomat, a slave, a pirate, and a missionary, and continues to overwhelm questions about its source with the sheer enjoyment of its narrative."--Publisher's web-site.
Michel Foucault, the State and the Social Sciences
This book proposes an original reading of Foucault’s political thought. Far from setting aside the question of the State to focus on the relationships of power “from below”, the Foucauldian approach offers a radical anti-substantialist theory of the State. Concepts such as biopolitics, discipline, pastoral power, and governmentality serve as tools for understanding the statization of power relations. Contrary to some of Foucault's own statements, Skornicki highlights the elective affinities between genealogy and sociology, which enable an in-depth dialogue with Marxism, Max Weber, Norbert Elias, Edward P. Thompson, among others. Unexpectedly, the analytics of power appears thereby as a...
Citizen Subject
What can the universals of political philosophy offer to those who experience "the living paradox of an inegalitarian construction of egalitarian citizenship"? Citizen Subject is the summation of Étienne Balibar’s career-long project to think the necessary and necessarily antagonistic relation between the categories of citizen and subject. In this magnum opus, the question of modernity is framed anew with special attention to the self-enunciation of the subject (in Descartes, Locke, Rousseau, and Derrida), the constitution of the community as “we” (in Hegel, Marx, and Tolstoy), and the aporia of the judgment of self and others (in Foucualt, Freud, Kelsen, and Blanchot). After the “h...

Postmodernité et éthique appliquée
La crise est une façon de nommer un réel. Qu’est-ce qu’une crise à l’époque postmoderne ? L’éthique est-elle capable d’en embrasser la complexité ? Comment répondre à ce moment critique et quelles décisions doit prendre le sujet saisi par la contingence ? Dans cet instant les nouvelles coordonnées de l’avenir sont inconnues et pourtant, le sujet responsable doit y répondre en acte. Pas sans éthique. Cet essai est le produit d’un dialogue entre philosophie et psychanalyse entamé avant le Covid-19. Cette pandémie nous a révélé la nécessité de repenser l’acte et son éthique. Mais, qui croire ? À quoi nous référer ? Là où la science a remplacé la religion, toutes deux fomentent la crise du déclin de leur croyance. Les habits d’un savoir acquis se sont déchirés. Ladite postmodernité révèle un monde de défiances envers la science et le politique. L’opinion prend place publique et de nouveaux experts prospèrent. Que reste-t-il du sujet dans son rapport à l’autre ? Précieuse boussole que l’éthique.
