Metaphysics is political
Ehrsam, Raphaël
Metaphysics is political - 2023.
48
For Lagneau, philosophy and metaphysics are one and the same. By making such a claim, Lagneau defends the view that fundamental philosophical thinking is, and ought to be, independent of all political commitment. Conversely, this paper argues that there should be room for a critical materialist reading of the history of metaphysics. It therefore construes Lagneau’s cosmological, psychological, and theological ideas so as to make explicit their connection with his naturalistic, conservative, paternalistic, and anti-democratic positioning.
