Schematising Otherwise: Metropolitan Meta-Modelling

Activity: Talk or presentationTalk or presentation at a workshop, seminar, course or other meeting

Description

Twentieth century philosophy has generally tried to follow Kant by ‘forgetting’ the schematism, that is, by faithfully describing its cognitive and normative achievements. However, authors such as Heidegger, Adorno, Deleuze, Simondon, and Stiegler have emphasized that subjectivity, even in the modest, anti-metaphysical guise of philosophy, remains ignorant of its own preconditions unless it reckons with what for Kant remains ‘a hidden art in the depths of the human soul.’ Posing the question of the schematism once more means asking what is it, beyond what is already intelligible or sensible, that makes us think in the way we do? And also: To what extent does this make our apparently autonomous thought inseparable from a kind of stupefaction, or even enchantment?
