I start the analysis with probably the strongest historiography of progress—the Hegelian philosophy. Then I discuss the dynamics of the “conceptual engine” of the theory of progress in Hegel—the concept of sublation. This analysis will make apparent that the Hegelian approach gives us not only a general “historiosophy” of progress, but above all a precise conceptual—even logical— tool, engine, device; thus productively mediatizing contradictions and conditioning the possibility of progress as such. In search of the general “historiography” of regress, I then turn towards psychoanalytical theory. In the psychoanalytical horizon of Freud and Lacan, I introduce a conceptual instrument forged on the basis of the Hegelian sublation—the concept of de-sublation. It will appear as the sought after “conceptual device” of the general theory of regress. We will see how the de-sublation of the previously sublated whole produces two independent conceptual entities, gathered around the moments of the universal and the singular.

In 2019, the New York Times launched a series of articles entitled “The 1619 Project,” which argued that we should reorient our understanding of American history by using as a starting point the year when the first African slaves were sold in the territory that would become the United States.1 Not surprisingly, Donald Trump immediately countered by sponsoring “The 1776 Project,” which attempts to position the libertarian right as the heir to a long tradition of American greatness.2 A furious battle over historical memory is now being fought around these two texts, with school districts mandating that one or the other be adopted into the curriculum, depending on the political orientation dominating in any particular district.3 This was the backdrop for me when I read Adam Leszczyński’s Ludowa historia Polski (“The People’s History of Poland”), so the book felt familiar even before I noticed the references to Howard Zinn’s (1980) A People’s History of the United States.

2019年，《纽约时报》发表了一系列题为“1619计划”的文章，认为我们应该重新定位对美国历史的理解，以第一批非洲奴隶在后来成为美国的领土上被贩卖的那一年为起点。1毫不奇怪，唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）立即发起了“1776计划”（The 1776 Project），试图将自由主义右翼定位为美国伟大悠久传统的继承人，这是我读亚当·莱斯钦斯基（Adam Leszczyński）的《波兰人民史》（Ludowa historia Polski）时的背景，所以这本书在我注意到霍华德·津恩（Howard Zinn）（1980）的《美国人民史》之前就感觉很熟悉。我出生的国家和我作为历史学家研究的国家很少如此明确地一致。二者都

This article moves across the wide spectrum of feminist interpretations of Hegel, starting with Carla Lonzi and revisiting the queer analysis of Judith Butler, in order to re-interpret the famous figure of “Unhappy Consciousness.” From a feminist perspective, these passages in Phenomenology of Spirit should be read as a re-evaluation of the care and reproductive labour, which the Subject experiences as miserably repetitive and mundane, at the stage of dialectics focused on symbolic realm of recognition. The dialectics of the weak can be established based on an in-depth re-evaluation of the material, life maintaining activities traditionally neglected in the discussions of Hegel’s legacy. Here these marginalized elements of the Subject’s lived experience are taken into account, thus allowing the introduction of the Housewife into the dialectical process.

What could be the common thread linking these three very different thinkers: Hegel, Rosenzweig, and Derrida? In my essay, I will argue that this link is provided by a certain form of political theology which is polemical towards Carl Schmitt’s notion of the katechon or the “restrainer of the apocalypse.” While the political theology which they propose is also based on the idea of the restraint, it takes a different form than the Schmittian postponement of the apocalyptic event. Their alternative notion is attenuation which results in the political and philosophical practice of maintaining a distance between God and the world. Neither simply restraining it, nor simply hastening, this new formula takes a third dialectical position between the katechon and the apocalyptic, which consists in “easing the lightning to the children”: the world as God’s child—weak, fragile, and exposed to the infinite power of creation and destruction—must nonetheless find a way to use the revelatory power of the eschaton for the immanent purposes.

Drawing on Hegel’s interpretation of narrative and Lyotard’s rejection of “grand” dialectical narratives, this paper addresses the relationship between emancipatory dialectics and narrative form. It begins by establishing the intimate connection between dialectical thought and narration. On this basis, the paper argues that varying conceptions of dialectics can be associated with varying structures of narrating history. Finally, the paper makes the case for identifying a specific narrative form adequate to the radical rereadings of Hegel that have replaced the perspective of the master (the subject privileged by a given system of historicity) with the perspective of the slave (who, while excluded from historicity, struggles against this exclusion). This narrative form corresponds to none of the classical Greek genres; it is best described as a trickster tale.

From the very beginning of his philosophical journey, Hegel demonstrated time and again his interest in the questions of political economy. In his earliest writings on religion, politics and economics, Hegel expressed his concern for a topic that was to play a vital role in his later works: the phenomenon of private property. In order to present Hegel’s notes on political economy more clearly, I have divided this paper into three sections. The first one deals with Hegel’s analysis of private property, industrialisation, and capitalism. The second addresses his attitudes toward the French Revolution, the transition from feudalism to capitalism, and the problem of labour. Finally, the third section is concerned with the political economy of poverty in the context of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, and in it, I point to Hegel’s emphasis that extreme and increasing poverty and pauperisation are not accidental phenomena, but are in fact endemic to the modern commodity-producing society.
