Proč tak rádi něčemu otročíme, když toužíme po svobodě? Pravda neexistuje #43

Jedni si stěžují na nedostatek svobody; je to trochu móda. Druzí si stěžují na ty, kteří si stěžují na nedostatek svobody; je to taky trochu móda. Začněme u druhé skupiny. Pozdvihování obočí nad tím, že si někdo může v tak svobodné společnosti, jako je ta naše, připadat nesvobodný, není na místě. Filozofové zkoumali otázku svobody odjakživa, neboť se vždy jevilo jako zřejmé, že každá doba svým jedinečným způsobem ohrožuje svobodu. Řekové stavěli svobodu proti osudu; křesťané si pokládali otázku, zda může být vševědoucí Bůh překvapován svobodou člověka; (nejen) od novověku se filozofové zamýšlejí nad tím, jak moc můžeme být svobodní, jsme-li součástí přírody a její kauzality. V současnosti se zdá být občanská i osobní svoboda v ohrožení tváří v tvář nadnárodním institucím, ať už těm politickým či byznysovým. Novu kapitolu v dějinách svobody právě píší moderní technologie. Těm, kteří si stýskají na nedostatek svobody, lze z druhé strany namítnout: svobodu chápete jako artikl, který vám buď někdo dává, nebo upírá. Jenže neexistuje jen občanská svoboda, která je nepochybně definována společenským uspořádáním. Existuje také cosi jako osobní pocit svobody, který je určitou podobou sebevztahu. Možná je tahle svoboda základnější než ta občanská. Osobní svoboda nezávisí na rámci, v němž žijeme. Dobře to vyjadřuje Miroslav Petříček v knize rozhovorů Všichni umřeme: filozof zde poznamenává, že si nikdy nepřipadal nesvobodný, ani v komunismu, ani v demokratické společnosti. Možná je tato svoboda především naším úkolem. Dokonce je možné, že zapomínáme na jednu podstatnou věc: že svoboda je také řemeslo. Spíše než na občanskou svobodu se autorka podcastu Tereza Matějčková tentokrát zaměřuje na zmíněnou osobní svobodu, na pocit, že je někdo svobodný. V nějakém smyslu je asi neproblematické tvrdit, že lidé touží po svobodě. Na straně druhé je v tom případě otázka, proč tolik lidí podléhá závislostem. Stereotypní vysvětlení, že závislost je znamením slabé vůle, je nepřesvědčivé. Kolikrát se zdá být opak pravdou: Vždyť kolik až nadlidského úsilí je schopen závislý člověk vyvinout, aby se dostal ke své látce? Kolik práce dokáže workoholik odvést, co všechno si odepřít, jen aby podal další skvělý výkon? Ale hlavně, proč tak rádi něčemu otročíme, když toužíme po svobodě? Kapitoly I. Svoboda nepřichází; svoboda neodchází. [začátek až 12:55] II. Zvíře je předvídatelné; od člověka čekejme cokoli. [12:55 až 18:00] III. Svobodní, protože umíme myslet? [18:00 až 22:37] IV.

English Description (German below)Guest: Raymond GeussThe sages and wise writings often seem to want to tell us that we should fundamentally change our lives, that we should fundamentally change who we are. But according to which rules and ideas? Should we simply adopt their worldviews?We spoke to Raymond Geuss about what worldviews are, about their imaginative richness and also the dangers of falling into an identity trap, so to speak, which no longer enriches us, but instead narrows our own view of the diversity of the world and of action. We can see, for example, that liberalism, which has become a world view, claims achievements for itself that do not necessarily presuppose it and, in its talk of the thoroughly informed free individual who makes wise decisions about the world, misses the social reality of people. Nevertheless, his apostles praise him as the only correct attitude towards the world.You can find the German and the English transcript on our homepage: www.metis.ethz.ch.

So kann man z.B. sehen, dass der zur Weltanschauung gewordene Liberalismus Errungenschaften für sich beansprucht, die ihn nicht notwendigerweise voraussetzen und in seiner Rede vom durchinformierten freien Individuum, das sich lebensklug durch die Welt entscheidet, an der sozialen Realität der Menschen vorbeigeht.

English Description (German below)Guest: Raymond GeussLife is not a game in many ways. No one has set its rules, no one administers its purpose, even though we sometimes would like to have that, and even though we would like to have from wisdom traditions and philosophy in general simple instructions on how to live happily in the sense of a game manual. Language seems endlessly extensible. Why, then, do we not finally succeed in putting the meaning of life into words?Raymond Geuss takes away the illusion of many a metaphorically guided idea and at the same time shows why philosophizing, why thinking about life, remains important and why in philosophizing it is better to strive for understanding, vivid imagination and clarity than for supposedly simple rules of life.You can find the German and the English transcript on our homepage: www.metis.ethz.ch.

"All political action has then in itself a directedness towards knowledge of the good: of the good life, or of the good society", writes Leo Strauss in his well-known essay 'What is Political Philosophy?', published in 1957. For Strauss, political philosophy is essentially normative. We do not understand political things unless we take them as phenomena which cry out to be evaluated as good or bad, just or unjust. Today's episode is a brief recapitulation of Strauss' essay, which includes his thoughts on the nature of political philosophy and the difference between classical and modern approaches to the discipline. This episode forms a nice contrast to our episode on Raymond Geuss and his approach of political realism. Do you agree with Strauss that political philosophy is always normative? Or do value-judgements also fall prey to criticism by positivists and historicists? As always, we would love to hear what you think.

What does it mean to be realistic about politics? Why does Raymond Geuss, a Cambridge political theorist, describe himself as a "neo-Leninist"? In this episode, Louis gives a run-down of Geuss' hugely influential text Philosophy and Real Politics (2008), which revives the longstanding tradition of political realism in Western philosophy. Political realism is a way of studying politics which treats the political realm as distinct or seperate from the realm of ethics or morality. In this sense, realists treat political philosophy as distinct from moral philosophy. Notable realists throughout history include Aristotle, Augustine, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Niebuhr, Morgenthau, and Lenin. This is such an excellent book. Geuss writes clearly and to the point. Best of all, it's only 100 pages. I could not recommend it highly enough.

Friedrich Nietzsche has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy. Thinkers diverse as Martin Heidegger, Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud and Michel Foucault all count Nietzsche as one of their inspirations. Nietzsche is also one of the most popular philosophers among the general public and is sometimes regarded as the “non-philosopher's philosopher”. In our second episode covering this enigmatic thinker, we take a look at Nietzsche's very first publication: The Birth of Tragedy (1872). In brief, Nietzsche argues that art is the only consolation for the horror and absurdity of existence. Existence, he writes, is only justified as an aesthetic phenomenon. This is Nietzsche in his primordial phase; those interested in his more mature philosophy will learn a lot from reading the Birth of Tragedy.

It's a refreshingly clear-eyed argument for what he calls the realist approach in political philosophy, which tries to attend to the messiness of actually existing societies, the opaque and invested people who make them up, and the shifting, contradictory values they hold.

Nie wiem czy wiesz, ale Nietzsche uważał siebie, przede wszystkim, za psychologa, chociaż nim formalnie nie był. Był za to filologiem klasycznym - i to wybitnym - a to realnie oznacza, że wiedział co nie co o starożytnych Grekach czy Rzymianach. Nawet nie będę udawać, że jestem specjalistą od Nietzsche albo że w pełni rozumiem o co mu chodziło. Bo nie rozumiem. Nie jestem w stanie ogarnąć swoim małym rozumkiem tego, co ten geniusz miał na myśli. Nie zmienia to faktu, że coś tam sobie wiem i wychodząc z założenia, że filozofia to nie coś coś stoi na półce tylko coś co ma pomagać Ci w realnym życiu, pobawmy się przez chwilkę psychologią Nietzsche tak jakby miał on okazję doradzać nam osobiście. W skrócie - będzie to post o paru elementach jego filozofii nie w odniesieniu do wydarzeń historycznych czy społeczno-kulturowych, tylko w przełożeniu na nasze światu dupy urywanie. A pomoże nam w tym profesor Raymond Geuss z Cambridge University, w oparciu o którego wykłady ten wpis właśnie tworzę. „Powinieneś stać się tym, kim jesteś.” NIHILIZM: Gdybyś chciał wprowadzić Fryderyka w stan największego obrzydzenia i pieniactwa, warto byłoby popisać się nihilizmem i chęciami nihilizmu promowania. Kiedy mówimy tutaj o nihilizmie, chodzi o BRAK SENSU, podejście, czy filozofię życiową, która odbiera SIŁY WITALNE zamiast ich dodawać. Pozwól, że podam Ci bardzo prostacki przykład: Jeśli mówisz, myślisz i postępujesz zgodnie z założeniem, że: "Każdy może być zdrowy, szczęśliwy i bogaty, więc i ja taki będę!" to DODAJESZ sobie sił, NADAJESZ sobie kierunek, ZWIĘKSZASZ ilość ENERGII. Teraz - być może to założenie jest błędne i złudne. To akurat ma trzeciorzędne znaczenie - znaczenie największe ma fakt, że Ci SŁUŻY. Z kolej, jeśli powiesz sobie, że jesteś tylko nic nie wartym puchem marnym,  bezwładną i bezładną marionetką w rękach losu, Fortuny, czasu, historii oraz innych ludzi to ODBIERASZ sobie siły, ODBIERASZ sobie SENS, ODBIERASZ sobie energię i sprawiasz, że Fryderykowi się cofa... Owszem, być może tak jest, i możemy prowadzić sobie akademickie dysputy na ile Twoja prawda jest prawdziwa - nie zmienia faktu to, że 'manie racji' przy okazji odbierania sobie SENSU nie ma sensu. A nie ma sensu z prostego powodu: SENS MA SENS. A dlaczego ma sens? A dlatego, że jak naucza nas Nietzsche: SENS = WITALNOŚĆ NIHILIZM = IMPOTENCJA A celem życia jest jego AFIRMACJA, czyli UZNAWANIE ŻYCIA ZA DOBRE. Lekka chujnia z trąbką kiedy żyjesz swoje jedyne życie uważając, że sam proces życia jest bez sensu i życie jest 'złe'. Żebyś jednak afirmował życie, niegłupio byłoby afirmować SAMEGO SIEBIE, jako, że to życie, że tak powiem, przez siebie samego przeżywasz. Owszem, nie musisz być ideałem i możesz mieć wiele brudku pod pazurkami, ale to Ty jesteś własnym centrum, to Ty jesteś początkiem całej reszty więc wyrzekanie się samego siebie NIE MA SENSU. Graj żeby wygrać! Czy to co napisałem MA SENS? Dlaczego ludzie tak bardzo lubią ten bezsens, dlaczego nihilizm i dekadencja są obecnie powszechne i panujące? Z prostego powodu - otóż motywacją do nihilizmu jest UNIKANIE ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCI. No bo za co masz niby odpowiadać, skoro nie masz realnego wpływu na swoje życie lub skoro nie widzisz sensu w podejmowaniu jakiegokolwiek konstruktywnego działania? Temat SENSU i BEZsensu uważam za liźnięty. Załóżmy jednak, że Nietzsche został Twoim mentalnym trenerem i pytasz go co masz zrobić, żeby zwiększyć ilość mocy, żeby zwiększyć ilość SENSU, żeby mieć więcej energii i witalności. Witaj zatem w starym jak świat podziale na Panów i Niewolników... PANOWIE & NIEWOLNICY Tu Fryderyk się nieco rozchmurza. "Zwróć uwagę, że kiedy mówię Ci o sensie i nihilizmie - mówi Ci Fryderyk - to mówię o KONTRAŚCIE. A kiedy mówię o kontraście to mówię o KONFLIKCIE. A kiedy mówię o konflikcie, to mówię o ENERGII, bo każdy konflikt, z definicji, generuje ENERGIĘ. Skoro jest przeciwieństwo, skoro jest kontrast to jest NAPIĘCIE a napięcie to dobra i bardzo wzmacniająca rzecz...

To find out why the German workers had not flocked to the Red Flag, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin and others came together around an Institute set up at Frankfurt University and began to focus their critical attention not on the economy, but on culture, asking how it affected people's political outlook and activities.
