What does it mean to be a co-temporary subject? Do we exist "simultaneously" with our modern means, or is everything characterized by a combination of different, but equally "real" times? Is such subjectivity formed individually or collectively in a constant mutual exchange with others? Guests of Winzavod Philosophical Club together with Peter Osborne would be able to answer these and other questions.
In his lecture, Peter Osborne will examine the relationship between such historical structures as modern and contemporary. The core of of his analysis is the definition of subjectivity given in Emile Benvinist's General Linguistics (categories of time, person and pronoun), as well as the concept of "transindividual", which has a long philosophical tradition.
Co-curator of Winzavod Philosophical Club Andrey Schental: "Progressive social atomization, which is welcomed by the neo-liberal doctrine, is accompanied by the prosperity of philosophical nominalism, in other words, disobedience of multiple phenomena to universal categories. Nowadays, the place of "public intellectuals", whose role in the middle of the last century was often occupied by philosophers, is given to " key opinion leaders " and "influencers", who advertise fragmentary and utilitarian knowledge. The philosophical answer to this phenomenon, which our course "New cosmologies" is opposed to, seems to lie in the categories of "modernity" and "transindividuality." If an equal co-presence of different times overcomes their fragmentation offered by postmodernism, the second concept describes the process of mutual formation of individuality and collectivity as opposed to the supremacy of purely individual actions".
Peter Osborne (born 1958) is professor of Modern European Philosophy and Director of the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP), Kingston University, London. He is also an editor of the journal Radical Philosophy.
