Fichte and the German idiom: the metaphysics of the addresses to the German nation / Keohane, Oisin   Journal Article
Keohane, Oisin Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract This article argues against the dominant Anglophone and Francophone interpretation of Fichte, which reads him as advancing either a form of ethnic or cultural nationalism. It claims that what is missing from the current reception of Fichte is the essentially philosophical and cosmopolitan character of his nationalism - the fact that the Addresses to the German Nation uses non-empirical and cosmopolitical concepts to develop and articulate its nationalistic viewpoint. It therefore claims that the notion of a national philosophical idiom that the Addresses present, far from being a screen for its nationalism, is its driving engine. It does this by considering the problems of translating the German locution ist unsers Geschlechts. Consequently, it is claimed that the cosmo-nationalism of Fichte is not reducible to a set of claims regarding ethnicity or even the empirical world, even if a discourse on the organismic, on what counts as life, irreducibly haunts the Addresses.

Passing the test / Angelos, James   Journal Article

Summary/Abstract Istanbul-Hasibe Koyun has her first German class in Istanbul on a crisp January morning. She's so nervous that her hand, where she wears her large diamond engagement ring, quivers. When she introduces herself to the class, she twirls the ring around her finger and glances at the whiteboard, where the teacher has written the German words for "I'm called," Ich heiße. Koyun's cheeks turn red. "Ich hei-zze Hasibe," she stammers with a thick beginner's accent. For 23-year-old Koyun, these first words of German, spoken at the Goethe Institute in Istanbul, mark the beginning of an odyssey that will, she hopes, take her from her hometown of Ören-a tranquil village of 1,500 in Turkey's western Anatolia-to Germany, where she plans to join her new husband, Ilhan, in the Rhineland city of Düsseldorf.
