    Michel Foucault: genealogy as critique.Rudi Visker - 1995 - New York: Verso.
    Rudi Visker's book is not only a lucid and elegant survey of Foucault's corpus, from his early work on madness to the History of Sexuality, but also a major intervention in this debate.

    Is ethics fundamental? Questioning Levinas on irresponsibility.Rudi Visker - 2003 - Continental Philosophy Review 36 (3):263-302.
    My title echoes Levinas' 1951 “Is ontology fundamental?” – a seminal piece that paved the way for his justly famous Totality and Infinity and Otherwise than Being. I suggest that the characteristically enthusiastic, uncritical reception of these works may not be due primarily to their originality and sheer intellectual brilliance, but rather to something in Levinas' position that deeply resonates with the spirit of our times and our preoccupation with the fate of “the Other.” My claim, however, is that accepting (...)

    The Strange(r) Within Me.Rudi Visker - 2005 - Ethical Perspectives 12 (4):425-441.
    Although the relation between philosophy and psychoanalysis has never been an easy one, the recent turn in contemporary philosophy toward the other seems to have bridged the gap that once separated the two. With notions like the other-in-the-self having become almost self-evident in recent philosophical parlour, it would indeed seem that there is no longer any deep disagreement between the psychoanalytic and the philosophical approach to the relation between the same and the other.And yet this article argues that such optimism (...)

    The Core of my Opposition to Levinas.Rudi Visker - 1997 - Ethical Perspectives 4 (3):154-170.
    I should like to thank Professor Rorty for the care that he took in replying to my question and for kindly remembering that we had a similar discussion before. Although I do not recall all the details of that exchange1, I remember leaving him as puzzled as I am now by his renewed impression that my resistance to part of his work has a Levinasian provenance. Hence I could only welcome the invitation by the editors of Ethical Perspectives to include (...)

    Art and Junk.Rudi Visker - 2007 - Phänomenologische Forschungen 2007:39-59.
    In Being and Time the broken piece of equipment (§ 16) or the dead body of an Other (§ 47) were seen as resulting from a process of transition (Übergang) between an original state and a position not so removed from it that one had to do with something entirely different. ‚The Origin of the Work of Art‘ takes a more radical approach: rather than leading toward a ‚no longer, but not yet‘, the movement here is toward a ‚no longer, (...)

    Beyond representation and participation: Pushing Arendt into postmodernity.Rudi Visker - 2009 - Philosophy and Social Criticism 35 (4):411-426.
    Whereas Arendt's work has been traditionally received, both by its critics and its admirers, as of one piece, this article uses her proposals for some sort of `organic representation' in On Revolution as a lever to break open that unity and show that it comprises two lines of thought that as such contradict one another. On the one hand her misgivings about representation betray a political version of the metaphysics of presence Derrida has taught us to deconstruct. On the other (...)

    De onteigening. Hoe te zwijgen na Levinas.Rudi Visker - 1995 - Tijdschrift Voor Filosofie 57 (4):631 - 666.
    Confronted with the face of the Other, the subject according to Levinas loses all its titles. But by the same token it also reaches its truest and most proper core. Indeed, what properly constitutes a subject cannot be understood outside the horizon ofthat ('initial') dispossession. A horizon which for Levinas ultimately refers to the Good which has chosen us before we could choose it: it is thanks to this prior unfreedom that we can at all be free. But what if (...)

    De sterfelijkheid Van de transcendentie: Levinas en het kwaad.Rudi Visker - 2003 - Tijdschrift Voor Filosofie 65 (1):59 - 92.
    Transcendence, Levinas tells us, is not a failed immanence. It presupposes an Exteriority that cannot be integrated into a totality. Such is its excellence: a surplus that rends Being's monism and allows for a pluralism that is not a "missed union". In the first sections of this article I show how the ethical relation with the Other is the only one that, for Levinas, satisfies the conditions he thus imposes on a metaphysical — i.e. transcendent — relation. I subsequently link (...)

    which deliberately imitates Rorty's style), I take issue with the plea for liberalism advocated in his Contingency, Irony and Solidarity by turning a number of his own arguments against him. In particular, I show how Rorty's tendency to think of the 'liberal ironist' as the 'hero' of that book rhetorically obfuscates that the trust of his own argument would rather seem to point to a 'non-ironic non-liberal' individual in the role of the hero. I suggest that what has prevented Rorty (...)

    In Praise of Visibility.Rudi Visker - 2008 - Levinas Studies 3:171-191.
    Those who are familiar with the development of contemporary philosophy and in particular of phenomenology, may have frowned at the prospect of having to sit through a praise of visibility. Indeed, if there is any praise to be sung, it is not the visible but the invisible that should be its subject. The realm of the visible suffers from an intrinsic defect: it lacks the depth to resist the movement of appropriation implied in seeing, or more generally in perceiving. It (...)

  23. Is There Death After Life?Rudi Visker - 2006 - Studia Philosophica 1.
    In order to understand the place of death in our contemporary western societies, we need to understand what we mean by death. A number of proposals from philosophy, ordinary life and religion will be examined, focussing especially on the link between death and anxiety . Concrete examples are developped with a positive bias toward the customs and mores of ordinary people . Without taking the position of the religious believer, the religious approach to death is analysed and the question is (...)

    Kunst en grofvuil: Heidegger, Levinas en de overgang.Rudi Visker - 2006 - Tijdschrift Voor Filosofie 68 (3):583 - 612.
    In the first two drafts of The Origin of the Work of Art Heidegger introduces a distinction between an art-work and an art-object, the latter no longer being art in the proper sense of the term. An artwork has, in Heidegger's understanding, a verbal meaning: a work 'works', it opens up a world of its own and sets off such a world against what he calls 'earth'. The temple, for example, is the locus of such a strife between earth and (...)

    Starting from an ambiguity in the title of the recently published journal Economics and Philosophy, this article tries to comment on the task of a philosophy of economics from a more or less continental point of view (no claim to uniqueness being involved however).Seen in this light, the general philosophical relevance of such topics as the reading of economic texts, the choice between absolutism or relativism in the history of economic thought, the relation between ethics and economics, is open to (...)

    Levinas, Multiculturalism and Us.Rudi Visker - 1999 - Ethical Perspectives 6 (2):159-168.
    Multiculturalism is not a recent phenomenon. From the moment a different world appears, a different culture in which the evidence of the cultural world in which I participate is put out of play, we are confronted with the problem of a split between the world as such and my world, which is only one among others, and we find ourselves compelled to seek a solution.One such solution would be to try to deny the split by restricting the meaning of `world' (...)

    Multicultural differences in the public sphere.Rudi Visker - 2014 - Phänomenologische Forschungen 2014:285-299.
    The present article plays off two conceptions of the public sphere against one another. The first one sees in it a sign of what is already present in the private sphere, whereas the second regards it as a symbol that has to inscribe its own symbolic force into the private realm. That this is by no means a mere academic question becomes obvious by way of several examples analyzed at great length: the institution of mourning and the discussion about the (...)

    Ondanks een hardnekkige mythe die aan de basis ligt van een al even hardnekkige leespraktijk, is de naam van de auteur geen garant voor de eenheid van het werk dat onder die naam verschijnt. Wat men misleidend een oeuvre noemt, is vaak door meer dan twee handen gemaakt en bestaat uit tegen elkaar ingaande denkbewegingen die men onrecht doet door er een proces van rijping en groeiend inzicht onder te willen schuiven. Foucaults ‘oeuvre’ vormt hierop geen uitzondering. Ook daarin zijn (...)

    Pluralisme, participatie en vertegenwoordiging Hannah Arendt herlezend.Rudi Visker - 2007 - Tijdschrift Voor Filosofie 69 (3):419 - 445.
    This paper situates Arendt's ideal of political participation at the cross-roads of two entirely opposite traditions of thought: the one, anti-representationist, the otherpleading for something stronger than mere representation. The first leads Arendt into playing off participation against representation in order to avoid the loss of presence that she fears the latter will entail. Whereas this line of thought seems to derive from what contemporary thought has deconstructed under the heading 'metaphysics of presence', Arendt's work at the same time shows (...)

    The Irony of a Contingent Solidarity.Rudi Visker - 1996 - Ethical Perspectives 3 (2):91-100.
    According to Richard Rorty , irony and solidarity are attitudes which work against rather than promote one another. From Rorty s perspective, irony is an inappropriate response to the discovery of our contingency. It prevents us from developing the ethnocentric attitude which Rorty advocates on the grounds that it allows for a sense of solidarity that is not in conflict with the ideal of negative freedom. As I will briefly indicate in the body of this article, the problem with this (...)

    In his final interview Foucault surprised many a reader by stating that the whole of his philosophical development had been influenced by his reading of Heidegger. Until now this Foucault /Heidegger relation has been left largely unexplored, and the few articles that discussed it, took first and foremost an interest in finding parallels between the works of these thinkers. Our title, however, indicates that a different, non-doxographical approach is at stake here : the move from Foucault to Heidegger for which (...)

Apparently only 6% of the population can summon the courage to talk about their anxiety with their doctor.

Nor are they encouraged to do so by the renowned scientific journals, where the focus is solely on a purely medical treatment (...)
