| | DIALECTIC AND EXISTENCE IN KIERKEGAARD AND KANT |
| | Just as Kant’s dialectic shows the impossibility of proving that there is a God, reason can still conceive of the unconditioned even without having knowledge of it: it is ultimately a question of shifting toward a use of reason which is other than the theoretical one. | | | Hence one cannot argue dialectically with Him, for all the dialectical power in the soul of the man concerned God uses against this man. | | | The dialectical terminology of de Silentio’s Fragments was notably retaken by Johannes Climacus in the Concluding Unscientific Postscript to the Philosophical Fragments, Kierkegaard’s most monumental philosophical work. |

| | Dialectical materialism smothers the problem of consciousness, rejects as a "foreign admixture" "a concrete live man with his human relations, his true or wrong thoughts, his real goals. | | | The aim of cognition, as it is formulated in the first volume of Critique of the Dialectical Reason, is the "ability of man to create history while seeking his goals" (ibid., 102). | | | According to J. Sartre, existentialism is humanism for the reason that if draws attention to "real" man, uplifts the value of personality and defends its interests against the hostile influence of collective and society. |

| | The Dogmatic Dialectic and the Critical Dialectic |
| | The reason why Kant could preserve the dualism of noumena and phenomena is that, for him, the unification of sense experience was effected by formal and non-temporal principles: the content of Knowledge could not change the mode of knowing. | | | It is first and foremost a resultant; it is not the dialectic which forces historical men to live their history in terrible contradictions; it is men, as they are, dominated by scarcity and necessity, and confronting one another in circumstances which History or economics can inventory, but which only dialectical reason can explain. | | | As for the dialectic of Nature, it cannot be anything more than the object of a metaphysical hypothesis. |

| | Solzhenitsyn: Postmodern Moralist |
| | The Gulag Archipelago is the antithesis of this form of moral reasoning. | | | In this sense, Solzhenitsyn’s work parallels prehistorical thought (myth) and extrahistorical thought (mysticism), and yet it is neither because its main concern is with particular, concrete events in all of their manifest historicity. | | | In other words, he has reinterpreted the traditional Christian truths in a work of art whose poetics is more philosophically inclusive than that of either dialectical systems or modernism. |

| | Michel Foucault once described Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason as "the effort of a 19th-century man to imagine the 20th century." Many of the left-wing students who nearly toppled the French government during the mass demonstrations of May 1968 absorbed their radical politics from the writings of Sartre, but repaid the debt with condescension. | | | Even philosophers in the crowd that day might have had difficulty with Sartre's arguments, for he was then struggling to reconcile existentialism with Marxist theory by writing a long, dense work called Critique of Dialectical Reason. | | | Bowman, "the ample English-language literature arguing against such a contradictory shift is ignored." |

| | In the Critique of Dialectical Reason, it is the struggle between falling into the mud of everyday existence, the practice inert, and the struggle to transcend the historical particularities of domination. | | | Camus may have begun with a refusal of the dialectic of reason and its accompanying revolts against God and against history, but he ultimately became a Sartrean moralist. | | | All of his intellectual life, which is to say all of his life for in his autobiography, The Words, Sartre speaks of his vocation as a thinker, beginning with his childhood when he first realized that he would write so as not to die, Sartre struggles to mediate the modern dialectic. |

| | Arendt was a dialectical thinker, but she also thought in threes and not fours. | | | A perfect example of this is his famous "Pierre" example, where Sartre has an appointment with Pierre in a cafe, but Pierre "is not there." Sartre has, here, a radical sense of the absence of Pierre, but he only has that sense because of his expectation of Pierre's being there. | | | This ties into Hegel's master/slave dialectic, in which the slave's labor upon nature causes him to develop himself by overcoming material necessity, and the slave finishes on top. |

| | We shall basically read through Kant's Critique of Pure Reason to understand his theories of the nature of space and time, of thinking, and of reality, as well as his "transcendental methodology" for doing philosophy. | | | To what extent is Kantian morality objectionably individualistic, a historical, or "formalistic?" Of particular interest will be Kant's understanding of the variety and sources of human immorality, including the "radical evil in human nature" that Kant thinks gives rational grounds for some kind of distinctive religious or political faith. | | | It should also improve the student's ability to develop, present, and defend his or her own arguments. |

| | The Absolute Intellectual by Brian C. Anderson - Policy Review, No. 123 |
| | The chief theoretical work of this “second” Sartre, The Critique of Dialectical Reason, written in a drug-fueled frenzy and first published in 1961, is one of the scariest books to come from the pen of a major twentieth century thinker. | | | For Bernard-Henri Lévy, contemporary France’s leading public intellectual and a major media star, this neglect of Sartre’s thought and literature is a significant mistake. | | | The reason Lévy does not is that Sartre’s thought provides no such inoculation. |

| | Sartre Fifty Years Later |
| | Finally, the reason why I termed my comments "Sartre Fifty Years Later" is that Gordon's book makes a descriptively vivid analysis of the everyday and persistent experiences of the multiple fragmentations of contemporary society in ways that Sartre thought fifty years ago to be transitory and distracting episodes from class struggle. | | | In this sense, Gordon's book is, like several others, a specific appropriation of Fanon rather than a canonical rendition of how Fanon should be read. | | | The fact that we claim him for understanding the relational dialectics of our own time and locations is perhaps a sign that his own analyses of the consequences of colonialism still enjoy sympathetic translations into new idioms of our own experiences. |

| | While she deals, as do the majority of contemporary theologians, with the New Testament teaching on love and the mystical theology of the relations among the Persons of the Trinity (as if either of those were clear and univocal concepts), she omits from serious consideration the sacramental theology of the Church. | | | It is also a matter, especially in the present time, of living through contradictions, such as knowing rationally that religion is purely a matter of mythologies and yet continuing to pray quite specifically and concretely to God, the Mother of God, and the saints. | | | I suspect that the reason is the unspoken side of Imboden's argument. |

| | Surely Sartre ought to have done this work, but he does not. | | | Critique is a humanist, anti-metaphysical, anti-structuralist explication of the dialectic, but one which was constrained by the limitations of the social position of the author and of his times. | | | “Critique” must be understood as a practical continuum, from the passive interiorisation of the Object, to the assimilation of the Object by the Subject to its own ends, right up to the subsumption of the Object under a new subjectivity — in other words, as a “totality” in the relativised Lukácsian sense. |

| | Convinced that Sartre is first and foremost a philosophical rather than an "imaginative" or literary writer, she subsequently attempts to trace the origins and evolution of his basic categories and methodology from Being and Nothingness, through the Critique of Dialectical Reason, to his recent uncompleted work on Flaubert, The Idiot of the Family. | | | Even his innovations, Grene suggests, are re-christened concepts usually associated with problems of his predecessors. | | | Although in the Critique, Sartre undertakes a critical dialectic of social life and appears to acknowledge a social being of man, "the living" still fails to succeed (or enter?) as a category of his thought. |
