摘要

摘要:本文概述了西蒙娜·薇依对伟大的批判及其当代意义。威尔认为，征服和殖民的伟大是建立在暴力基础上的伪伟大。对威尔来说，崇拜伟大是通往法西斯主义的道路。由此，我认为韦尔的批判为废除作为政治叙事的伟大提供了一个开端。为了进行第二步，我扩展了韦尔对历史背景下的伟大概念的批判，通过引用关于拆除雕像和小学教育中批判种族理论的争议，挑战当代美国历史的反动理想。

A Critique of Greatness

Abstract:This article outlines and contextualizes Simone Weil's critique of greatness and its contemporary relevance. Weil argues that the greatness of conquest and colonization is ersatz greatness based on violence. For Weil, worshipping greatness is a path to fascism. Drawing from this, I argue that Weil's critique provides an opening for the abolition of greatness as a political narrative. To make this second move, I expand Weil's critique of the historically situated concept of greatness to challenge reactionary ideals of history in the contemporary US contextualized by referencing controversies about statue removals and Critical Race Theory in primary education.

期刊介绍： The research on discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs) is multi-disciplinary in nature and its development has been dynamic. Examples of DEDSs include manufacturing plants, communication networks, computer systems, management information databases, logistics systems, command-control-communication systems, robotics, and other man-made operational systems. The state processes of such systems cannot be described by differential equations in general. The aim of this journal, Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications, is to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed papers on the modeling and control of, and all other aspects related to, DEDSs. In particular, the journal publishes papers dealing with general theories and methodologies of DEDSs and their applications to any particular subject, including hybrid systems, as well as papers discussing practical problems from which some generally applicable DEDS theories or methodologies can be formulated; The scope of this journal is defined by its emphasis on discrete events and the dynamic nature of the systems and on their modeling, control and optimization.
