Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The essay characterizes an anthropological impasse of political philosophy dividingthose in a more liberal tradition from those in a more Hegelian tradition, and then itproceeds to sketch a political philosophy without any human or anthropological content.I rely on Foucault’s notion of parrhesia to activate such a political philosophy, andI rely on the philosophical life of the Cynic to make parrhesia possible. Finally by invokingexercises of ascent and of descent, I suggest that this kind of political philosophycan not only solve the anthropological impasse of political philosophy, but also in practice,it can cool hateful passions and warm cold hearts.
