   Shakespeare's idea of the tragic fact is larger than this idea and goes beyond it; but it includes it, and it is worth while to observe the identity of the two in a certain point which is often ignored. Tragedy with Shakespeare is concerned always with persons of 'high degree'; often with kings or princes; if not, with leaders in the state like Coriolanus, Brutus, Antony; at the least, as in _Romeo and Juliet_, with members of great houses, whose quarrels are of public moment. There is a decided difference here between _Othello_ and our three other tragedies, but it is not a difference of kind…

   So clearly, when he says, "A new categorical imperative has been imposed by Hitler upon unfree mankind to arrange their thoughts and actions so that Auschwitz will not repeat itself. So that nothing similar will happen. Now, how then does the negative dialectic do that? How does the negative dialectic achieve that? How does it arrange thoughts and actions so that Auschwitz will not happen again? I think that the answer for Adorno is to philosophize. But to philosophize in a certain way that remains negative that Martin and Billy have presented to us in its negativity that resists the pull of t…

   And last example, Heisenber pictures what bore one day mentioned about famous Chron Castle or Elsino. Isn't it strange how this castle changes as soon as one imagines that Hamlet lived here? As scientists, we believe that a castle consists only of stones and admire the way the architect put them together. The stones, the green roof with its patina, the wood carvings in the church constitute the wall castle. You can say la or objective or onic phenomena. None of these should be changed by the fact that Hamlet lived here. And yet it is changed completely. Suddenly the walls and the ram parts spe…

   The problem which I have chosen is one which is common to metaphysics and psychology, the problem of free will. What I attempt to prove is that all discussion between the determinists and their opponents implies a previous confusion of duration with extensity, of succession with simultaneity, of quality with quantity: this confusion once dispelled, we may perhaps witness the disappearance of the objections raised against free will, of the definitions given of it, and, in a certain sense, of the problem of free will itself. To prove this is the object of the third part of the present volume: th…

   The theme of thinking became especially important for Arendt after the controversy over Eichmann in Jerusalem. Although the deeds that Eichmann performed were monstrous, there's no question about that, she claimed that Eichmann himself was neither monstrous nor demonic. The only specific characteristic that one could detect in his past, as well as in his behavior, was something entirely negative. It was not stupidity, he was very clever, but a curious, quite authentic inability to think. But what did she mean by the inability to think? I think she thought that Eichmann completely lacked that e…

   Here I think you can see Lacan's sense of the relation between metaphor or metonymy hovering between that of Jakobson or Brooks and that of de Man, because there seems to be an underlying irreducible tension between reading the line as though it says that Boaz was generous and free of spite, and reading the line as though it said that Boaz just necessarily-- because he's one who possesses something-- is a person who has the characteristics of miserliness and spitefulness. The tension, in other words, seems to me to be in Lacan an irreducible one so that, at least in that regard, we can place h…

    Yet she also recognized that indeterminism does not suffice for freedom; more is needed to establish that. We will need to understand what more is needed when we discuss her views about action. In her paper “The First Person” [TFP], originally published in 1975, Anscombe argues for a thesis that seems patently false: the word “I” is not a referring expression. That is, while the function of a term like “Elizabeth Anscombe”, or “the daughter of Allen Anscombe”, or “ that woman”, or “she” is referential, the term “I” does not function in the same way. “I” thus refers to nothing at all. (Compare …
