Are you dying to know if Hegel hated ersatz coffee? Then boy do I have the piece for you. Very happy to be part of the JHI blog forum on political economy in intellectual history!

Journal of the History of Ideas @jhideas.bsky.social · 16d

As part of the JHI Blog forum on political economy, Marie Louise Krogh examines Hegel's rare reflections on the 19th century international coffee industry as an entry point into the theoretical stakes of political economy in the midst of European imperialism.

Something is rotten in Denmark.

Please consider joining the 150+ signatories of this letter in solidarity with our international students, particularly those from Bangladesh, who are being targeted as part of a broader xenophobic political campaign.

It would be a huge step forward if people stopped reading the Atlantic

Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social · Aug 23

It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.

Is the human being by nature good or evil? And what does this imply for a theory of post-revolutionary political institutions? Big questions and some tentative answers in my newly published article:

Which Human Is Needed for the Revolution? On the Role of Philosophical Anthropology for a Marxist Political Theory

The article addresses a common objection against Marxism, as formulated by Carl Schmitt: that it may be able to criticize the bourgeois state, but that it remains unable to formulate a political th...

Jeg har skrevet en artikel til Information om Hannah Arendts kritik af den etnonationalistiske israelske stat og det manglende opgør med folkemordet som en universel forbrydelse, uanset ofrenes etnicitet. Dele af hendes Eichmann-rapport klinger næsten profetisk i lyset af folkemordet i Gaza i dag.

Med sin Israel-kritik ville Hannah Arendt næppe vinde Hannah Arendt-prisen i dag

Hannah Arendt tog livtag med det israelske retssystem, som ifølge hende forvanskede folkemordets universelle forbrydelse mod menneskeheden i en zionistisk kampagne for et etnonationalistisk og diskrim...

Reaktionære ideologer OPSØGER diskussioner om udklædninger på KUA, de går ingen "bue udenom". Vil vædde med, Berlingske skriver mere om det end Politiken. Venstrefløjen kan aldrig udrense sig selv ideologisk til et punkt, hvor Jordan Peterson-typerne ikke kan finde noget at blive sure over

Det her er det dummeste: "unge mænd går en stor bue udenom, når den mest woke del af venstrefløjen dominerer debatten med ligegyldigheder som kvinder på vejskilte og diskussioner om, hvorvidt det hedder ’slave’ eller ’slavegjort’, eller hvilke udklædninger man må tage på til fredagsbaren på KUA."

it is abstract selection season and it has been TOUGH this year😭💔

We got a lot of ✨a m a z i n g✨ abstracts and had to make some really tough decisions - since we could only select about half!!

So in the interest of transparency here are some insights into our process:

It is about deliberate and targeted persecution, displacement, and destruction of a civil population. At this point, no one can doubt that this is case. STOP THE GENOCIDE NOW! 4/4

Lotte List @lottelist.bsky.social · May 28

There can be no question of “excessive means” since the aim itself is criminal. This is why it is important to insist that what is happening in Gaza is a genocide, not (only) a war crime: it is not about Israel “having gone too far” in securing its military aims. 3/4

Lotte List @lottelist.bsky.social · May 28

Laws on war crimes, she explains, are directed at actions intended to achieve some military (legal) aim, but which uses excessive (illegal) means, thus disproportionately harming civilians. Genocide, however, is not a war crime since it has no military aim EVEN IF it often happens during a war. 2/4
