April 1999Die Konstitution der Moralität
Transzendentale Anthropologie und praktische Philosophie
by Thomas Rentsch
Die Analysen von Rentsch berühren nicht nur die Grundlagen der Ethik, sondern auch die Methode der Philosophie im Anschluß an Phänomenologie, Hermeneutik und Sprachanalyse nach Heidegger und Wittgenstein. Sie weisen auf die fundamentale Bedeutung der praktischen Grundlagen aller unserer Lebensvollzüge, auch unserer theoretischen und wissenschaftlichen Orientierungen hin und leisten damit eine Ortsbestimmung der Philosophie. Es wird gefragt: Wie ist eine menschliche Welt überhaupt möglich? Bei der Beantwortung dieser Frage zeigt sich: Philosophische Anthropologie und Moralphilosophie können nicht unabhängig voneinander entwickelt werden, sondern verweisen systematisch aufeinander. Rentsch kritisiert die diskursethischen Ansätze von Apel und Habermas, die analytische Ethik von Tugendhat sowie den Neoaristotelismus wegen unzureichender anthropologischer und sprachenanalytischer Fundamente. Seine Destruktion eines subjektzentrierten philosophischen Denkens führt zur Entfaltung einer Konstitutionsanalyse kommunikativer Lebensformen diesseits der Dichotomie eines formalistischen Universalismus und einer materialen Tugendethik. Auf diese Weise wird die Kritik Heideggers und Wittgensteins am Cartesianismus für die praktische Philosophie fruchtbar gemacht. Auf der Grundlage einer negativen Anthropologie menschlicher Würde und einer Ethik wechselseitiger Entzogenheit wird ein hermeneutischer Universalisums entwickelt. Die Untersuchung richtet sich mit einer neuartigen Analyse der einsichtsbezogenen Sprache der Moral gegen einen unkritischen Dualismus von Faktizität und Normativität. So kann auch die geläufige Sicht des Verhältnisses der Ethik des Aristoteles zur praktischen Philosophie Kants revidiert werden. Das neue Vorwort »Methode und Selbsterkenntnis« kommentiert die bisherige Anschlußdiskussion und stellt weitere Argumente für die Kernthesen des Buches vor.

October 1995Vernunft und Lebenspraxis
Philosophische Studien zu den Bedingungen einer rationalen Kultur. Für Friedrich Kambartel
by Thomas Rentsch, Christoph Demmerling, Gottfried Gabriel
"Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Vernunft und Lebenspraxis bestimt die Philosophie seit ihren Anfängen. Die im vorliegenden Band enthaltenen Beiträge gehen dieser Frage mit unterschiedlichen Akzentsetzungen nach. Sie diskutieren zum einen, ob und inwieweit diejenige Rationalität, die sich in wissenschaftlichen Theorien verkörpert, selber unserer alltagsweltlichen Praxis entstammt; zum anderen fragen sie nach den Vernunftanteilen innerhalb solcher Praxisformen, die gemeinhin als vernunftfremd gelten. Die Grundtendenz aller Aufsätze besteht darin, gängige Gegenüberstellungen zwischen der Vernunft und dem ihr Anderen hinter sich zu lassen und einen von szientistischen Verengungen befreiten, weiten und komplex binnendifferenzierten Begriff der Vernunft zu entwickeln."

The ArtsFebruary 2022"I am Jugoslovenka!"
Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism
by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

FictionIVANA IN FRONT OF THE SEA
by VERONIKA SIMONITI
Winner of THE KRESNIK AWARD 2020 for the best novel in Slovenia. Rights sold to Croatia, Serbia, Albania and China! IVANA IN FRONT OF THE SEA (Ivana pred morjem) The narrator returns from Paris, where she has created a home for herself, to the Primorje region in Slovenia in order to clear the apartment that belonged to her late mother for a serious buyer, and in a heap of yellowed photographs she finds a picture of her grandmother, holding her five-year old mother’s hand, whilst her other hand lies on her pregnant stomach. The year it was taken, 1943, was one of troubling events and rapid change. What happened to the unborn child? Through a number of parallel stories taking place at different times and generations of one family, Veronika Simoniti’s novel presents the reader with the collective past and individual fates. These move between Paris and Primorska, also stopping in Gorenjska, Ljubljana and many other places, even in Serbia as refugees, but all this movement cannot break the human bonds. Even the hard times after the war are written about in the author’s gentle manner, looking from ever new standpoints at what we share. A beautiful novel about unattractive times and things.

Historical fictionUnterstadt
by Ivana Šojat-Kuči
The novel Unterstadt tells the story of an urban family of German origin living in Osijek from the end of the nineteenth till the end of the twentieth century. It is narrated through the portrayal of the destinies of four generations of women – a great grandmother, a grandmother, mother, and a daughter – their shattered illusions, the education of their children, the historical events that brutally lash out at them. Ivana Šojat-Kuči creates a world rich in detail and nuance, all her characters, both major and minor, are expressive and suggestive, abundant in virtues and flaws, complex and multidimensional, as life itself is. By depicting a clash of generations through the female characters of a family, the author creates a world in which, often due to bizarre strokes of fate or wrongly selected life-cards, both horrible and beautiful events occur. Yet the central theme, running through all the generations and all the characters, is that of hiding away from the past, fleeing from it, concealing it, which sooner or later leads to traumas and misunderstandings. Unterstadt is a book about a family and a town, written in the manner of the best and greatest modernist novels. Through the history of one family, it speaks of the twentieth century in a multiethnic town, of dictatorships, of wrongly selected sides, of fate which one can hardly defy. Unterstadt reveals the richness of Ivana Šojat-Kuči’s narrative talent, and it is thus not surprising that she has emerged as one of the most interesting writers of contemporary Croatian prose.

Firewood of Sarajevo
by Said Khatibi
In Firewood of Sarajevo, Said Khatibi compares and contrasts the sad destinies of two countries. At one time tied by bonds of friendship and ideology, both have become embroiled in futile civil wars, descending into hell and reaching a state where pain is the only common denominator uniting people. In Algeria, as in Bosnia Herzegovina, the twentieth century had a bloody end, as people were torn apart by issues of religion and ethnicity. The novel’s protagonists, Salim and Ivana, have in common the fact that they have both fled destructive war and hatred in their countries, and gone to build a new life in Slovenia. Through them, the ugliness of conflict between brothers belonging to the same land is exposed, now brothers only in pain. Even in exile, the smell of war lingers in their nostrils and its effects are felt in their everyday lives.

FictionFebruary 2020The Church
by Avgust Demšar
The Church is a typical whodunnit crime novel. The crimes once again take place in native Slovenian surroundings, mostly in the fictitious village of Vodnjaki, where it seems that a special type of evil resides. The tenth, jubilee novel by Demšar is more extensive, the story is more complex and the side stories are even more surprising. The author lures us into a whirlwind of events and holds the reader in suspense even when he delves into the relationships between his mainstay characters known from his previous novels and their characterisation. The rising action that triggers further events is the murder of a high-level church dignitary. Even before the criminal investigators can get down to work, new murders and crimes are reported. In addition to the main storyline, Demšar touches on many different current social issues. This intensely suspenseful read full of intellectual challenges leads the reader on a path to solving an exceptionally complex case.
