CAN HISTORY ABSOLVE? CAN HISTORY JUDGE?
ABSTRACT Appealing to history, rather than to God, to provide an ultimate judgment about human actions can have a justificatory or consolatory function.

THE OTHER DEMOSTHENES. ON POSSIBLE FORMS OF PHILIATION BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND PHILOLOGY
ABSTRACT Beginning with the oratorial askesis of Demosthenes and its use of nature as a tool for the amplitude and clarity of the human voice as a ‘Vexierbild’, this article suggests that the appropriation of philology to serve a particular end (rather than being an end in itself) risks repeating the very injustice that ecocritical discourses are ...

Abstract In this article I take a closer look at Adorno's methodology, and specifically the question of how – in Adorno's view – philosophy ought to be done.

“I am as American as April in Arizona,” Nabokov claimed in a 1966 interview. Although he repeatedly emphasized his American citizenship and the affection he held for his adopted nation, my argument is that his 1947 novel, Bend Sinister, offers us an ...

What is (the) matter with climate litigation? Law, nature, and the limits of legal technique
Abstract This article examines how nature is mediated by law in climate cases. In the Federal Court of Australia decision in Minister for the Environment v.

Against a predominant judicial, governmental, and academic approach that portrays sovereign citizen beliefs as ‘irrational’ and ‘nonsensical’, I argue that such beliefs should be understood in terms of conflicts within the socio ...
