How might we motivate an ethical subject to commit to a conception of the good<\/p>\n
Jay Bernstein and me: motivational deficit, secular liberal democratic institutions suck, and demotivate<\/p>\n
An ethics that motivate people to acts of political resistance<\/p>\n
DEMAND: a demand that I approve, this begins to shape my ethical subjectivity.<\/p>\n
fidelity to a demand that cannot be fulfilled.<\/p>\n
divides subjectivity: a ‘dividual’\u00a0 demand to which it responds and inability to be an equal to that demand, excess of demand over approval.<\/p>\n
one can never attain the autarchy of self-mastery<\/p>\n
comically ridiculous:<\/p>\n
What’s the link between conscience and political action?<\/p>\n
neo-anarchism: Seattle protests, anti-war, protests against G-8 in Germany, horizontal aggregation of a collective will by disperse groups, forging of a new language of civil disobedience<\/p>\n
non-violence: Peace can be warlike without being violent<\/p>\n
ne0 leninists:virile heroic figure<\/p>\n
politics of powerlessness, refusal of violence, creative non-violence.<\/p>\n
thomas paine deep democracy, pneumatic anarchism<\/p>\n
Interstitial distance: creation of spaces of distance from state, Marx’s true democracy, inidigenous rights movements.\u00a0 Courtney Young, rise of Indigenous Rights Movement in Mexico<\/p>\n
creation of new political actor, “indigenous” at a distance from the state.<\/p>\n
Appeal to Universality<\/p>\n
Infinite Responsibility: provide the glue to think of ethical subject, infinitely demanding, ethical subject, experience of fidelity, what differentiates contemporary anarchist practices turns on freedom and responsibility: 1960 non-repressive sublimation the joy of sex, this is pseudo-liberatarianism of which contemporary Anarchists are critical – ethical outrage of yawning poverty and disenfranchisement, visceral experience of deep democratization<\/p>\n
what ties together the various groups? Not common set of theoretical doctrines, a shared sense of grievance and wrong, war is wrong etc.\u00a0 contemporary anarchism is closer to Levinas than Marcuse, opens me to the other’s infinite demand.<\/p>\n
