   Now obviously I'm thinking of Virginia Woolf's Mr. Ramsay in writing this sentence [gestures to sentence on chalkboard: "The philosopher in a dark mood paced on his oriental rug."]. It's a terrible sentence for which I apologize. Virginia Woolf never would have written it; but just to pass in review the way in which what we've been doing is literary theory: the Marxist critic would, of course, focus on "his" because the nexus for the Marxist critic in this sentence would be possession-- that is to say, the deployment of capital such that a strategy of possession can be enacted. The African Ame…

   They use this term in order to underscore, to emphasize, to bring out a dimension of Marxism itself that they thought had been neglected, especially when Marxism had become either a counterrevolutionary ideology with the social democrats and socialists around the Russian Revolution in opposing the Russian Revolution or it had become an official state ideology in the Soviet Union and then eventually expanding into to the east block. So it had become an ideology and yet it was supposed to be ideology critique. It was supposed to be the critique of ideology. So how to rescue it from this ideologi…

   But here it's say okay Marxism in its vulgar ideologized reified form dogmatic form was also a defeatism of reason. But he's saying but actually you know philosophers are not going to be able to convict theory by which he means Marxism. of this and of this anacronism. It is suspected of now as before. Meaning Marxism might be suspected of being preilosophical of being a kind of traditional metaphysics especially materialism. Marxism as materialism might be a traditional metaphysical materialism and ontological materialism. And often it is. Marxists will say reality comes before thinking that k…

   Here's Foucault saying that this is a category. The homosexual identity, as understood in terms of sodomy, is a category. He's going to go on to say that it's punishable in the extreme by law, but in the meantime he's saying there's no discourse. There's a kind of almost universal silence on the subject. You don't get silence in Dante, as I'm sure you know, but in most cases in this period nobody talks about it. It's punishable, severely punishable by law, and yet nobody talks about it. This would seem to violate Foucault's own premise that discourse constitutes identity but also plainly does …

   At least the male homosexual gets to be declared deviant: we're simply erased. That's the position she's taking here, and then at that point, what she says is: To be prohibited explicitly is to occupy a discursive site from which something like a reverse-discourse can be articulated; to be implicitly proscribed is not even to qualify as an object of prohibition. Here's where she gives us a footnote on Foucault, footnote fifteen (you know we love footnotes): It is this particular ruse of erasure which Foucault for the most part fails to take account of in his analysis of power. Butler's argumen…

   Finally, he argues that denials of humanness are always categorical, whereas according to the models in question, they come in degrees (2023: 3). Smith (2014, 2023) argues that dehumanization is always categorical because it involves attributing a subhuman essence to someone, and attributions of essences do not come in degrees (for an extended argument that dehumanization need not involve attributing a subhuman essence to someone, see Kronfeldner 2021c; see also Killmister 2024). Some critics argue that proponents of the psychological approach conflate dehumanization with other negative attitu…

    _M._ As if it did not follow that whatever you speak of in that manner either is or is not. Are you not acquainted with the first principles of logic? For this is the first thing they lay down, Whatever is asserted (for that is the best way that occurs to me, at the moment, of rendering the Greek term [Greek: axiôma]; if I can think of a more accurate expression hereafter, I will use it), is asserted as being either true or false. When, therefore, you say, "Miserable M. Crassus," you either say this, "M. Crassus is miserable," so that some judgment may be made whether it is true or false, or y…
