Ingo Schramm<p>The concept of “eternal return” is actually a concept of death, not of life.</p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/nietzsche" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nietzsche</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/heidegger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>heidegger</span></a><br><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/adorno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adorno</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/malabou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malabou</span></a></p>
Ingo Schramm<p>“Mutual aid is the social response of nature, and is thus a key example of the death drive turning back on itself.”</p><p>Catherine <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Malabou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malabou</span></a>, Stop Thief!

Ingo Schramm<p>/3</p><p>As the domain of the singular, <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a> reaches beyond all automatisms, like habit or morals (<a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Hegel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hegel</span></a>, <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Dewey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dewey</span></a>, <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Malabou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malabou</span></a>). Automatisms are serial. Ethics starts where all series end. ("Intelligence" is an ethical concept.) </p><p>Ethics is a sibling of the event to come and has a teleological structure. It is not so much the domain of freedom (the moral <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Kant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kant</span></a>) as the domain of autonomy (the teleological Kant, and again Malabou), the domain of life.</p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> </p><p>...</p>
Ingo Schramm<p>2/2</p><p>For <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Foucault" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Foucault</span></a>, the Frankfurt School was "ahead of time". Or was he late?</p><p>However, also in <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Malabou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malabou</span></a>'s recent book about anarchism <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Adorno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Adorno</span></a> is missing. His work was a staggering attempt to think without a first, without identity and totality, without "hypostasis", to think "natural history" without progress, but still not without dawn. A thinking that longs for a rationality without an absolute. </p><p>And yet, Adorno was just another one who rejected to admit the <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a> in this rationality.</p>
Ingo Schramm<p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a></p><p>Occasionally, I think about a great missing background voice in the writings of Catherine <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Malabou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malabou</span></a>: <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Adorno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Adorno</span></a>. </p><p>It may just be due to a historical aberration that his works were almost ignored in France while Heidegger's were unfortunately adored. In a late interview <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Foucault" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Foucault</span></a> noted: "if I had encountered the Frankfurt School while young, I would have been seduced to the point of doing nothing else in life but the job of commenting on them."</p><p><a href="https://radicalarchives.org/2013/07/08/foucault-on-the-frankfurt-school/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">radicalarchives.org/2013/07/08</span><span class="invisible">/foucault-on-the-frankfurt-school/</span></a></p><p>1/2</p>

Ingo Schramm<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://qoto.org/@TruthSandwich" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>TruthSandwich</span></a></span> Sure, or well, partly …</p><p>You can substitute <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Dewey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dewey</span></a> with his „habit“ for the Freudian subconscious, or take <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Lacan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lacan</span></a> with his „real“ or, a little more 21st century, <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Malabou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malabou</span></a> with her „cerebrality“, it doesn’t change my question (which is actually really about <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Adorno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Adorno</span></a>). </p><p>All these concepts show a blind spot in the subject, that it cannot rationalize and also cannot just make go away. Still, it is a good part of the subject’s being. Is this „<a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a>“ (for Adorno)?</p>
Ingo Schramm<p>The problem with definitions is, they suggest a finality that does not exist. Definitions hold only in a historical context, for much less than a human lifetime. Our condition of being is change without end. Thinking is no system of toy blocks. It is a process of life, goes with the swirling stream of beings. This is why poets are often closer to truth. They know, the published poem is a fallacy. Only that which is in the making can grasp it.</p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a> of <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <br><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/benjamin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>benjamin</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/malabou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malabou</span></a></p>
Ingo Schramm<p>In a pragmaticist view, production may indeed be the limit of prediction. Prediction converges in production, and the truth of prediction is the working of a production. That working is working in a particular environment, which is again changed by production - future. A system that is able to predict/produce further in such a changed environment may be called a plastic system. It changes with its changing of environment. </p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/plasticity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plasticity</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/intelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intelligence</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Malabou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malabou</span></a> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/philosophy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>philosophy</span></a></span></p>
