Part 1 here

The Intellectual Bankruptcy of the Present Age

Not only does Strauss claim that historicism is a healthy reaction to the intellectual bankruptcy of the modern world, in the next section of his essay, he also attributes this bankruptcy to non-historicist causes.

First, Strauss talks about Max Weber’s Learning and Science as Vocation. He specifically objects to Weber’s claim that reason cannot speak about the ultimate aims of life: Read more …

Historicizing the Historicists:
Notes on Leo Strauss’ “The Living Issues of German Postwar Philosophy,” Part 1

Greg Johnson

3,215 words

Part 1 of 2

Leo Strauss is widely known as a critic of historicism and an advocate of classical philosophy. Historicism holds that philosophical ideas are relative to culture, whereas classical philosophy aims for knowledge of nature, which is not relative to culture. But what is Strauss’s own point of view? Does he base his arguments on historicist or classical philosophical premises? Read more …

3. The Hermeneutic Circle in Heidegger’s Being and Time

Heidegger’s purpose in Being and Time[1] is to explore the question of the sense (Sinn) of Being (Sein). By “Being” Heidegger means the meaningful presence of beings to a knower. By the “sense of Being,” Heidegger refers to the meaningful presence of meaning itself. Read more …

Ayn Rand & Ortega y Gasset

Greg Johnson

6,280 words

Editor’s Note:

This essay was written in 2000 and published online at a long-defunct website. It is really a sketch of a more detailed research project that somebody else might wish to carry out. Even as such, I think it deserves a new lease on life. I do not regret a single hour spent reading Ortega.

Un preludio a Ser y Tiempo
¿Qué es la metafísica?

Greg Johnson

Rembrandt. Filósofo Leyendo. 1631

3,690 words

English original here

La mejor forma de entender lo que es la metafísica, es entender lo que no es La metafísica no es una disciplina especializada; no es una indagación teórica o práctica que trata sobre un bloque específico de actos, o intenta cambiar el mundo en una forma específica. Cada tipo de hecho y cada tipo de actividad tiene una disciplina correlacionada a ella. No importa qué tipo de hechos nombres, no importa que tan triviales, hay chances de que alguien haya escrito una disertación doctoral sobre ello – o habrá de hacer una algún día. Read more …

Nota del autor:

Hace mucho, mucho tiempo, cuando aún estaba cursando, tuve la tonta idea de enseñar Heidegger en clases de educación adulta. En realidad me fue bastante bien. Generalmente preparaba un resumen bastante detallado, lo seguía una página, y luego empezaba a hablar por fuera de él. Esta es la transcripción de un alumno sobre mi exposición sobre Ser y Tiempo.

A Prelude to Being & Time
What is Metaphysics?

Greg Johnson

3,589 words

Rembrandt, Philosopher Reading, 1631

Spanish translation here

The best way of understanding what metaphysics is, is to understand what it is not. Metaphysics is not a specialized discipline; it is not a theoretical or practical inquiry that deals with a specific set of facts, or tries to change the world in a specific way. Every kind of fact and every kind of activity has some specialized discipline correlated to it. No matter what kind of facts you name, no matter how trivial, chances are that someone has written a doctoral dissertation on it — or will write one someday.

A Prelude to Being & Time
What is Phenomenology?

Spanish translation here

Edmund Husserl, 1859–1938

Author’s Note:

Long, long ago, when I was still in graduate school, I had the daft idea of teaching Heidegger in an adult education class. It actually went quite well. I would usually prepare a detailed outline, follow it for a page, then start speaking extemporaneously. This is a student transcript of my background lecture on Being and Time. It has been only lightly edited. I added a citation and eliminated a few repetitions. If a tape comes to light, I will put it online. Read more …

Heidegger’s Question Beyond Being

Greg Johnson

6,362 words

Author’s Note:

The following text was written 21 years ago when I was in graduate school. I think it is a useful synthesis of the material available at the time, but I make no claims to originality. I tried to remove the kind of preciousness and pedantry that one finds in graduate student papers, but given the subject matter, what remains is necessarily somewhat densely written.

Everybody knows that Martin Heidegger was deeply interested in “Being,” indeed obsessed with it. Read more …

The Tyranny of Values, 1967

Carl Schmitt

6,572 words

Trans. Simona Draghici, Romanian translation here

Jeanne Argent, Alice Through the Looking Glass

Editor’s Note:

The following text, which was written in 1967, is one of two essays Carl Schmitt published under the title “The Tyranny of Values.” Both were reprinted in Carl Schmitt, Die Tyrannei der Werte (Hamburg: Lutherisches Verlagshaus, 1979). The translation is from Carl Schmitt, The Tyranny of Values, ed. and trans. Simona Draghici (Washington, D.C.: Plutarch Press, 1996), which is out of print and very hard to find. If anyone knows the translator, please put me in contact.
