Forschungsprojekt
This project reconstructs the concept of separation based on Gillian Rose’s theory of diremption. Drawing on the young Hegel’s understanding of diremption (Entzweiung) as the source of the need for philosophy, Rose’s project develops a sustained critique of the conflicts at the heart of modern capitalist society. Philosophical work, for Rose, must locate itself within the antinomy of culture that arises from the separation of law from ethics expressed in the diremption of individual liberty and collective unfreedom. To recover the specificity of this concept of separation, the project mobilises the tension, in Hegel’s notion of diremption, between a relative, ontological diremption and an absolute, culturally specific separation. Assembling the elements for a concept of separation through an analysis of Rose’s appropriation of diremption for a political history, its philosophical sources and implications, the project contributes to current debates in the history of philosophy and in continental political philosophy.
