This text is one of the three Latin dissertations that was brought up for discussion before the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Königsberg. Torretti explains that it served as the basis for Kant's second dispute on April 10, 1756, when the philosopher believed that he could obtain the Chair of Mathematics and Philosophy vacant since the death of his teacher Martin Knutzen (1713-1751). This translation is based on the Kurd Lasswitz edition, included in volume I, pages 475-487, of the academic edition of Kant's Works. The German translation by Wilhelm Weischedel (in Kant, Vorkritische Schriften bis 1768, Darmstadt: Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, 1960) is also taken into consideration.

This extense text explains Hugo Dingler's philosophy of geometry. The persistent aim of Dingler's philosophical endeavors was to vindicate and secure our exact knowledge of nature. As the author says, Dingler came to think of it as an ever growing system, continually bringing new patches and aspects of reality under its sway, but resting on the indestructible, inalterable foundations provided by the four "ideal sciences" of logic, arithmetic, geometry and dynamics. Both historically and systematically, geometry played a key role in this construction.

Study on what the domain of nature in general means, starting with Husserl's Crisis, precisely that aspect of it related to the achievements of modern science and its consequences for social purposes.

Unconvinced by the idea that posits U.S. and Latin American race relations as divorced entities, this essay tracks the discourse of mestizaje in its hemispheric development. It does so by focusing on William Carlos Williams’s translation of Luis Palés Matos’ “Preludio en Boricua” in 1942. By framing this translation within its historical conjuncture, engaging with the criticism that surrounds it, and reading it alongside other texts by both authors, this essay connects this poem and its translation to the broader discourse of mestizaje that was promoted by the Partido Popular Democrático in their construction of a consensual Puerto Rican identity. By reading this context contrapuntally with Williams’ situation, I am able to catch another aspect of this Boricua identity in its interaction with an American identity. Williams’ translation serves as a place to explore how consensual both identities actually are, as they intersect over this fundamental anti-blackness. In both cases, the construction of these identities enacts an extractive, parasitic relationship to blackness: black people serve as a foil, props to be incorporated into the nation in order to serve as the ground of identity.

The scope of this article is twofold. First, itreconstructs Africana phenomenology, retracing Lewis R.Gordon’s philosophical elaborations, accounting for theinfluence of figures such as Frantz Fanon, Jean-Paul Sartre,and Søren Kierkegaard. We show how Gordon’s recastingthe Husserlian notion of bracketing impacts politicalthought and social criticism. Second, we evidence inGordon as well as in many prominent contemporary Blackintellectual figures a preferential option for a radicaldemocratic politics that emphasizes creativity and coalitionover enmity and opposition. Finally, this article argues thatwhile notions of violence and self-determination are notpopular within current Black thought, they are intrinsicallypart of the Black radical tradition. Therefore, they should bereinvested by Africana philosophy and phenomenology.

In her collection of poetry, We Are Owed., Ariana Brown asks the reader to develop a Black consciousness by rejecting U.S., Chicano, mestizo, and Mexican nationalism in order to confront anti-Black erasure and empire-building. Brown “maps” not only the racialized, but also the gendered and sexualized experiences of Afro-Mexicans in the diaspora. In this conversation, Brown highlights the necessity to consider everyday life as a space that is rife with historical, political, and cultural information. Brown builds upon Dionne Brand’s concept of “gathering what is left,” that is, making community and archive through imagining not only what might have been, but also through concrete practices in the here-and-now to not only build new strategies for resistance and refusal, but also to forge a future of care, love, pleasure, and joy—to make the world anew.
