In Derrida’s 1971 text 'White Mythology: Metaphor in the Text of Philosophy' one can distinguish two interconnected strands of reflection: a critique of modern European metaphysics and of the idea that white culture should dominate the world. The commitment to the exceptionality of European culture is — I will show — based upon the metaphysical illusion that something truly universal has come out of this region of the world. The clear and consistent critique of whiteness in Derrida is put into context by showing that such a critique has been around much longer in the works of black thinkers such as Aime Cesaire, Frantz Fanon, and has been continued by Emmanuel Eze and others. Referring to Derrida’s attention in other work for undocumented immigrants and their ghostly presence in European society, I center the fact that European ideas of cultural purity make the death in the Mediterranean of thousands of migrants from the African continent an inescapable effect of white mythology. Like the Berlin Wall, this most dangerous border of Europe will in the end succumb to the continuous attempts of migrants to cross it. When that happens, the Mediterranean could again become what it once was: a sea in the middle of the world, a center which made the complex identity of someone like Derrida as North-African Jew in France first possible.

The central claim of this article is that post-truth requires a political and socio-economical perspective, rather than a moral or epistemological one. The article consists of two parts. The first part offers a critical examination of the dominant analyses of post-truth in terms of shifting standards of the origin and the evaluation of facts. Moreover, the claim that postmodernism is the cause of post-truth is examined and refuted. In the second part an alternative perspective is developed, centring around the notion of gatekeepers. Rather than linking post-truth to bullshit and postmodernism, it should be understood as a symptom of a contemporary shift in the gatekeepers of truth and knowledge. Knowledge and truth are always mediated in society through the hands of gatekeeping institutions such as journalism or science. Post-truth is a symptom of a broader transformation of the gatekeeping institutions of our current society. It therefore requires a political philosophy of these institutional shifts and the new risks they involve.

T. Marvan, F. Focquaert
In this interview, bioethicist Farah Focquaert explains the basic principles of a non-retributive conception of criminal justice. First, the central notions underlying retributivism that of free will and desert-based responsibility are addressed in a critical way. Focquaert then goes on to canvass a new way of conceiving the purposes of the system of criminal justice, with reconceptualized notions of personal responsibility and of sanctions forming its backbone. Focquaert argues that a society can remain safe and healthy without retributive measures, provided that an emphasis is placed on the prevention of crime, on the rehabilitation of the offenders and on the all-important perspective of the victim. The interview also considers the value of retributive emotions and the proper role of the new biomedical and neuroscientific technologies in the framework of the criminal justice system.

Reflecting on peace is intimately connected to how one conceptualizes violence. Moreover, thinking about violence is closely tied to how one conceives of socio-political life and the fundamental problems or threats that it faces. Political disagreement then, translates into disparate notions of violence and of peace. In light of this, some theorists, including Johan Galtung, advocate adoption of a singular, extended definition of violence that can accommodate this divide, paired with a corresponding two-part understanding of peace. In this paper, I argue there are reasons to be wary of this strategy, and to doubt the success of Galtung’s efforts. Specifically, I problematize the methods that obscure substantive disagreement concerning violence and that ultimately limit our ability to conceptualize forms of peace. I then demonstrate the depths such disagreement can reach and thus illustrate both the limitations of existing extended notions of violence (such as Galtung’s) as well as the correspondingly divergent ideals of peace. I end by sketching an alternative account of violence that aims to avoid these flaws and thus offer grounds for a novel understanding of peace.
