PART THIRD: ON AUTONOMY
The indispensable task of philosophy: humanity’s responsibility for itself. (EH unrealised 5th part of The Crisis of European Sciences)
Thus, we can now clarify what we said earlier: if the world-becoming (detheologisation) displaces value – makes it immanent – before world-forming displaces the production of value – making it universal – the two together displace ‘creation’ into the ‘without-reason’ of the world. And this displacement is not a transposition, a ‘secularisation’ of the onto-theological or metaphysical-Christian scheme: it is, rather, its deconstruction and emptying out, and it opens onto another space – of place and of risk – which we have just begun to enter. (J-LN Globalisation, 51)
ARGUMENT
THE DECONSTRUCTION OF SOVEREIGNTY or GLOBALISATION
AUTONOMY AS NEW NOMOS OF THE EARTH (FOLLOWING SUNSET, &C. &C.) • AUTONOMY OF THE ARTWORK (∴ MICROCOSM // MACROCOSM)
◊
HIGH ARGUMENT: AUTONOMY IS ANARCHY, THE NON-ORIGIN OF THE LAW
[…] a world perhaps always, at least potentially, shares the unity proper to the work of art. That is, unless it is the opposite, or rather, unless the reciprocity between ‘world’ and ‘art’ is constitutive of both.
