In the first part of this paper I argue that there is hardly one correct step within the chains of arguments by which Habermas tries to substantiate his theory of communicative action, discourse ethics, and his theory of social order. In the second part of the paper I address Rainer Forst’s “principle of justification,” from which he seeks to deduce his ‘right to justification’ on which a “right to justification” is supposed to be based. I argue that Forst himself does not really justify his views but instead offersmerely unwarranted stipulations.Moreover, I demonstrate that his theory is unclear, incoherent, inapplicable, and thus practically irrelevant.

The text tackles theproblemof tracingback the constitutionofnature and society to the technique of measure and measurement. The conditions of nature and our own capitalistic society can only be made into an object of objective knowledgebecause theyarebeingheld at their “own”measures anddeterminedby values; in case of nature at specific quantities, in case of society at money as the measure of value. The object is given to our mind in a certain manner by these identified values so that, along with the determination of the object, a corresponding mode of perception is being provoked that operates with non-empirical and quantifying termsanddefinitions. First itwill be shownhownature–or society–“releases” themeasures for their ownmeasurement and how the process ofmeasuring produces a first and a second nature. Subsequently it is explained how the values of the first nature are transposed into the second. DOI 10.1515/zksp-2014-0005 ZKSP 2014; 1(1): 109–147

Zusammenfassung Das Essay ist in zwei Teile gegliedert: Der erste fragt allgemein nach den Bedingungen und Möglichkeiten einer materialistischen Ästhetik, der zweite bezieht diese auf die zeitgenössische Lyrik und das Gedicht „Einen jener klassischen“ von Rolf Dieter Brinkmann. Materialistische Ästhetik wird in Abgrenzung zu einer idealistischen und einer formalistischen Ästhetik definiert. Sie ist eine unabschließbare, am besonderen künstlerischen Gegenstand orientierte Hermeneutik, die auf der Dialektik von Allgemeinem und Besonderen beruht. Dabei versucht sie, unter der Prämisse ihrer eigenen Historizität, Formen als mimetisch vermittelte Erfahrungen zu lesen. Der Lyrik kommt dabei eine besondere Rolle zu, weil in ihr das Besondere, ja Fragmentarische Vorrang vor dem Zusammenhängenden und Allgemeinen hat. So kann sie beispielsweise, wie das Gedicht Rolf Dieter Brinkmanns zeigt, den ephemeren Augenblick des Glücks mimetisch abbilden.

Abstract This essay proposes a critical investigation of the notion of suffering as a premise and warning for the Social and Political domains. Drawing from the writings of the contemporary French philosophers Levinas, Marion, Ricœur and Blanchot, comprising a corpus I refer to as “The Ethics of Suffering”, it treats this issue in four stages of analysis: terminological, phenomenological, ethical and political. The phenomenological analysis first reveals the tension resulting from the double nature of “Suffering”, defined both as a feeling and a long lasting condition with its six fundamental components. This duality leads then to question our social ability to simply apply suffering based on the fact that it is widespread and known to all, showing that the lack of a permanent substance or single essence causes its political prevention or propagation to remain totally arbitrary. On this account, the positive outcome of the ethical and phenomenological investigations consists in offering a standard ground for bridging between individual and social suffering while sustaining the tension coming from its dual nature. At the same time, their definition of suffering as a basis for solidarity (suffering is always ‘suffering with the others’) while insisting on the solitary mode of torment reveals a problematic double bind. Taking up the work of Adi Ophir on the evil, the essay goes as far as showing how this double bind affects the political thought and action, when exposing its rather limited power of manipulating the human threshold and using suffering as a political instrument. The paper thus seeks to contribute to the social and political discussion by examining our ability to regulate our conduct in the public and the political spheres through the understanding of suffering and by inquiring whether we can actually protect ourselves and cope with the danger of controlling individuals through the control of their suffering.

The article discusses the analytical and normative foundations for the development of a critical theory of technology. To this end, some seminal historical and contemporary positions of this theoretical tradition shall be reconstructed. Special attention will be given to Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy of technology which allows for a critique of the genesis of technology by connecting the concept of technology with that of alienation in a specific way. Additionally, by tying the argument to recent public debates about planned obsolescence, the article highlights the everyday basis of the advocated critical point of view. Finally, with regard to some crucial questions of the sociology of technology, the empirical potentials of this critique of technological conditions shall be outlined.
