Revisiting Erich Fromm’s works provides a theoretical foundation for a comprehensive and normative theory of human–nature relations that contains psychical, social, economic, and ethical components...

Erich Fromm’s Ecological Messianism: The First Biophilia Hypothesis as Humanistic Social Theory

I consider reasons for questioning ‘the laws of logic’ (identity, non-contradiction, excluded middle, and negation), and suggest that these laws do not accord with everyday reality. Either they are rhetorical tools rather than absolute truths, or else Plato and his successors were right to think that they identify a reality distinct from the ordinary world of experience, and also from the ultimate source of reality.

Deconstructing the Laws of Logic

Although increasingly recognized as one of the most important and original political thinkers of the twentieth century, Hannah Arendt has not been associated with Hebraic traditions of thought. Indeed, while Arendt explicitly acknowledged the profound impact on the direction and substance of her thought of her experience as a Jew under Nazism, her vehement rejection of onto-theology led her to distance herself from the Hebrew God as a point of orientation for thought and politics alike. Nevertheless, if one attends to the substance of Arendt's ideas, rather than to the explicit reference points she provides by way of intellectual heritage, or even to her own statements about the role of God or Hebraic thought, one finds strong Hebraic resonances. This paper explores some of the dimensions of her thought where one can discern such connections, in particular, her ideas about hope, faith and natality and their relationship with a particular conception of time and her thoughts about the importance of promises...

Hebraic dimensions of hannah arendt's thought

The cover of Atlas reproduces a Winkel projection of a planisphere; it shows a nocturnal view of the orbis terrarum (fictive since night is not simultaneous around the planet), where the oecumene appears, like an upside down sky, as an immense galaxy made of all the lights of the cities of the world. The inhabited space is now dominated by urban megalopolises; increasingly, the human species seems to be concentrated in cities. Global space appears as the archipelago of the cities of the earth. The planet becomes a city. Arnold Toynbee already had a foreboding that this was the major event of current civilization since the Industrial Revolution. He called this planetary megalopolis Oecumenopolis. However, Toynbee's vision still belonged to the nineteenth century, inasmuch as he saw this extension as a proliferation of the industrial city and its metamorphoses, and of the infinite and boring suburbs that today surround these metropolises everywhere or indeed actually constitute most of them. In reality, in this invasion of the urban form, there is more at stake than the city; this transformation of the ways of inhabiting the city is not simply about the extension of the built environment and population management. Something very different is happening on multiple levels. This is what Michel Serres helps us to understand. He does so without having written explicitly about the urban question, not even in Rome, the Book of Foundations. Nevertheless, it is present in his work everywhere, but in the context of numerous other questions. One of the chapters of Angels, a Modern Myth is called "Los Angeles." It contains no analysis of the urban problems of the Californian metropolis; rather it is the extension of a reflection on global space as a worldwide network of messages, as a space filled with angels, figures of a plural Hermes. The journey from Rome to Los Angeles is in fact a journey that goes from questions of foundations to questions of relations, both being intertwined. These are important questions, which include many others, and pervade all of Serres's work: the relations between local and global, be
