Without Criteria


Book Description

A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.

El Existencialismo En Kierkegaard, Dilthey, Heidegger y Sartre


Book Description

LA FILOSOFÍA EXISTENCIALISTA "Uno de los pensamientos que en este momento está conmoviendo al mundo civilizado es la de la Filosofía Existencialista. No es una simple especulación de la inteligencia, ni tampoco una lucubración de aula o de gabinete solamente; tiene su raigambre en la vida social, en el momento histórico. Ciertamente, la historia la está forjando y los pensadores que la formulan, principalmente de Europa, ven en ella una solución al desaliento que está destrozando las almas después de las guerras catastróficas que han deshecho tantas obras de belleza y anulado tantas vidas." Adalberto García de Mendoza (1948)
