Topologies of judgement: Arendt, Schürmann, and Shell on the Politics of Kantian sensus communis

Authors

Reiner Schürmann, in an essay engaging with Michel Foucault’s critique of the modern subject, proposes an ‘anarchistic subject’ to struggle against what he calls the ‘law of social totalization’ that governs modern society. This anarchistic subject is likely to face two connected questions. First, the question of the standpoint or place of resistance: how does the anarchistic subject situate itself in relation to the historical and conceptual determinations of space and time imposed by this society? Second, a question of practice: how is its anarchistic practice connected to hegemonic forms of thinking and acting or, more specifically, of judging in this society? Both questions can be seen to pertain to the problem of orientation, respectively, in space and time and in thinking and acting. To consider the questions of place and judgement together, this chapter explores some variations on the Kantian topology of judgement as it emerges from the Critique of Judgement (CJ) and investigates the role sensus communis can play in this anarchistic struggle....
