The undissolvable color. On Adorno's disclosing critique.
Stoel, Hendrik Lambert ; Goddard, Jean-Christophe (advisor) ; Klass, Tobias Nikolaus (referee)
The undissolvable colour - On Adorno's disclosing critique Abstract For a long time, the hermeneutical tradition and that of Critical Theory have been considered as antithetical. In the work of Theodor W. Adorno, a key representative of Critical Theory, both traditions coincide. The central thesis of this essay is that the meaning of 'critique' for Adorno can only be fully grasped if it is at the same time understood as an interpretation of social reality. This essay attempts to demonstrate that his critique is fundamentally a disclosing critique. In the light of this thesis, several aspects of Adorno's critique are examined and several problems delineated. Key words: Adorno, critique, interpretation, Critical Theory, praxis.

Me impersonal by young Fichte (1794-1800) - in the light of fenomenology contemporary
Tai, Yuen Hung ; Goddard, Jean-Christophe (advisor) ; Novotný, Karel (referee)
Le Moi impersonnel chez le jeune Fichte (1794-1800) - à la lumière de la phénoménologie contemporaine Yuen-Hung TAI (2009-2011 Erasmus Mundus Master) Our studies aim at interpreting the notion of I in early Fichte (1794-1800) in the light of contemporary phenomenology. It is essential to understand the Fichte's I not as a overhanging and substantial subject, but rather as the place of encounter between I and Not-I, subjects and objects. We attempt to answer the following four problems starting from Fichte's conception of I. (1) What is the practice of philosophy? (2) What does it mean by I? (3) How could I know myself? (4) Where I move myself as being alive?

Sartre, the Dialectic and History: About Existential Subjectivity in Marxism
El-Hajj, Philippe ; Serban, Claudia (advisor) ; Goddard, Jean-Christophe (referee)
The two Sartrian categories of the series and the group-in-fusion - developed in la Critique de la raison dialectique - constitute a real essential ideological foundation to a set of situations as diverse as complex. They represent "the eternal return" of a materially frozen reality, and of various attempts to get out of it - worker against employers, proletarian against the bourgeois, colonized against colonizer, Palestinian against the violent Zionist entity, ecologist against businessman - as many situations kneaded with inertia which we must obstruct in everyday life and which freeze the latter in a static ontological posture. As per our study, it goes further and deepens how the Sartrian subjectivity retains all its importance as long as it finds itself placed in a profoundly Marxian perspective, acquiring through group mediation and its praxis an active dimension giving it real potential for change. The main problem which therefore we are facing is to determine how Sartre, by his reworking of the foundations of the dialectic of History, was able to lead to a new vision of praxis which involves as many unique forms of action as there are unique subjectivities that participate in it. It will also be a question of demonstrating the ethical outlets of this Sartrian dialectic enterprise. The main goal of...

Modern Capitalism and the "Negro Future of the World" in Achille Mbembe's work
Koudoglo, Agbeko Yao ; Klass, Tobias Nikolaus (advisor) ; Goddard, Jean-Christophe (referee)
OF THE MASTER THESIS : Keywords: Capitalism, black slave trade, slavery, negro, racism, plantation, work, profit, surplus value, becoming a negro of the world, Achille Mbembe. In the face of the resurgence of debates linked to the Black question and the changes in capitalism over time, it seems essential to analyse the intrinsic link between the development of capitalism and the slave trade. Our paper therefore explores, without exhausting it, the problem of the future of humanity in the face of the mutations of capitalism. It is certainly true that slavery is an old phenomenon, but the slave trade was an unprecedented event in the history of humanity. However, the extraction of the human body for capitalist purposes did not stop with the abolition of slavery. The slavery, exploitation and dehumanisation that are still widely practised are the result of the liberalism that has shaped our present in our way of being in the world. This is why the concept of "becoming a Negro of the world" helps us to understand that the figure of the plantation Negro is actualised in every person. The social grasp of the individual in a global way is better able to account for neo-liberalism, its planetaryisation of markets and the trend towards globalisation of the negro condition.

A world for peace, from Montessori to Nyerere: the power of education
Njanji Boulleys, Pierre Stephane ; Klass, Tobias Nikolaus (advisor) ; Goddard, Jean-Christophe (referee)
NJANJI BOULLEYS Pierre Stephane pierrestephanenjanji@yahoo.fr Master Erasmus Mundus EuroPhilosophie - Philosophie allemande et française : enjeux contemporains SUBJECT OF THESIS : A world for peace, from Montessori to Nyerere: the power of education. Summary The thesis deals with the issue of peace, how to achieve and maintain peace in a world where conflict takes its toll. The two authors chosen have a similar approach in terms of form, in that both believe that education is the means par excellence for achieving peace. However, while Montessori emphasized the education of children, Nyerere Julius encouraged him to educate adults.

Fichte's Transcendental Approximation to Being 1801-02
Ip, Long Nin Leonard ; Schnell, Alexander (advisor) ; Goddard, Jean-Christophe (referee)
of thesis titled: Fichte's Transcendental Approach to Being 1801-02 submitted by Leonard Ip for the degree of Master of Arts in Philosophie in the programme Erasmus Mundus Master EuroPhilosophie, July 2021 This paper attempts to reconstruct the development of the problem of being within the framework of Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre after 1800 in its initial approach. Textually, it deals mainly with the Darstellung der Wissenschaftslehre from 1801/02. This text is considered the main document with which Fichte's so-called "late philosophy" begins after the first "Jena" period of his philosophising. The main result of the reconstruction presented is the demonstration of a "positive" concept of being, which goes beyond the concept of being explicitly determined as "negative" in Fichte's Jena Wissenschaftslehre and is defined in the Darstellung as "absolute being". In order to show that the positive concept of being is both demanded and legitimised on the basis of the Wissenschaftslehre as transcendental idealism, the reconstruction of this concept is carried out through an analysis of the first part of the Darstellung, i.e. the theory of absolute knowledge. The three chapters of this thesis carry out this analysis in three steps: in the first chapter, the systematic demand for absolute being is...

Radical Relational Ontology: Living the Difference from Within
Garrigue, Arthur ; Klass, Tobias Nikolaus (advisor) ; Goddard, Jean-Christophe (referee)
This work unfolds Arturo Escobar's radical relational ontology in an imagined discussion with Gilbert Simondon. Questioning Escobar's academic reception in the North, we seek the answer in Escobar's own work, in his proposal of a political ontology and the pluriversal posture it underlies. In trying to grasp what radical difference means, understood as ontological excess, we come to the point of having to outline a pluriversal ethic of otherness in order to "live fearlessly the difference from within". Key words: relational-ontology; indigenous-struggles-for-the-territory ;ontological- conflicts ; otherness ; radical-otherness; anthropology ;philosophy; Arturo-Escobar; Gilbert- Simondon

The declension of variation. On the notion of multiplicity in Gilles Deleuze
Bastidas Bolaños, David Antonio ; Goddard, Jean-Christophe (advisor) ; Sáez Tajafuerce, Begonya (referee)
The declension of variation. On the notion of multiplicity in Gilles Deleuze This paper aims at a reconstruction of the notion of multiplicity in the thought of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. To this end, our guiding thread corresponds to the relationship that this thinker establishes between the mathematical doctrine of Bernhard Riemann and the philosophy of Henri Bergson. Our purpose is to go through the various appearances of this relationship and to reconstruct the fundamental axes of an original concept of multiplicity that we believe Deleuze's thought holds. Thus, our inquiry, via a strategic journey through the Bergsonism, A Thousand Plateaus and Difference and Repetition, uncovers a double articulation for the deleuzian multiplicity. This double articulation is expressed in the two axes of thematization that we develop, namely coherence and inherence, or in other terms, a multidimensional organization and an activity of internal division. From these two axes, we believe, the notion of multiplicity describes the dynamics proper to a mouvement of continuous change or variation of nature. Keywords : Deleuze, Multiplicity, Variation, Bergson, Riemann, Bergsonism, A Thousand Plateaus, Difference and repetition.
