- Title
Leonard Lawlor’s Renewal of Thinking.
- Authors
Haddad, Samir
- Abstract
Abstract: In this paper I analyze Leonard Lawlor’s strategy of inheriting from the tradition, highlighting the way he traces and amplifies a series of conceptual transformations that take place across twentieth‐century continental philosophy. Focusing on the particular movement from metaphysics to ethics enacted in From Violence to Speaking Out, I raise three concerns regarding Lawlor’s ethics of “the least violence,” arguing that there is a problem with a quantitative understanding of this notion, that the quality of potentiality attributed to it needs more clarification, and that Lawlor’s proposal of a radical letting be has more dangers than he seems to realize.
