Matter and Form - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Matter and Form explores the relationship that has long existed between natural science and political philosophy. Plato''s Socrates articulates the Ideas or Forms as an account of the ultimate source of causality in the cosmos. Aristotle''s natural philosophy had a significant impact on his political philosophy: he argues that humans are by nature political animals, having their natural end in the city whose regime is hierarchically structured based on differences in moral and intellectual capacity. Medieval theorists attempt to synthesize classical natural and political philosophy with the revealed truths of scripture; they argue that divine reason structures an ordered universe, the awareness of which allows for psychic and political harmony among human beings. Enlightenment thinkers challenge the natural philosophy of classical and medieval philosophers, ushering in a more liberal political order. For example, for Hobbes, there is no rest in nature as there are no Aristotelian forms or natural places that govern matter. Hobbes applies his mechanistic understanding of material nature to his understanding of human nature: individuals are by nature locked in an endless pursuit of power until death. However, from this mechanistic understanding of humanity''s natural condition, Hobbes develops a social contract theory in which civil and political society is constituted from consent. Later thinkers, such as Locke and Rousseau, modify this Hobbesian premise in their pursuit of the protection of rights and a free society. Nevertheless, materialist conceptions of the cosmos have not always given rise to liberal democratic philosophies. Historicist influence on scientific inquiry in the nineteenth century is connected to Darwin''s theory of evolution; Darwin reasoned that over time the process of natural selection produces ever newer and more highly adapted species. Reflecting a form of social Darwinism, Nietzsche envisions an aristocratic order that draws its inspiration from art rather than the rationalism

The Power to Assume Form - Sean Mcmorrow - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Power to Assume Form - Sean Mcmorrow - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Power to Assume Form: Cornelius Castoriadis and Regulative Regimes of Historicity examines the major contribution of Cornelius Castoriadis’s work, which elucidated the role of the social imaginary within human societies. What is significant, Sean McMorrow argues, is that Castoriadis’s work presents a unique perspective on the regimes of historicity; modes of instituting power that establish the legitimacy of institutional order in relation to the extensive social imaginary articulations of the world. The author assesses Castoriadis’s theorization of the radically creative capacity of the social imaginary and suggests that there remains a tendency to present an overly dichotomous view of autonomous and heteronomous modes of institution. McMorrow assesses how adherence to this inclination hinders the development of further insights into the creative capacities of social imaginary, while also imposing limits on Castoriadis’s own assessment of the ‘partially’ autonomous situation of modern societies. The author suggests that one way forward is to consider the role of an implicit dimension of instituting power, involved in the reproduction of dominant social imaginary articulations of the world, and which also shape the regulation of historicity more generally. The main purpose of this book is to develop the critical depth of Castoriadis’s work, showing how it remains an insightful framework to analyze the significance of the deepening depoliticization of contemporary ‘liberal-democratic’ regimes and the ‘partially’ autonomous dynamics that underlie their shift toward increasingly authoritarian modes of governance.
