Quand arriverons-nous donc plus près de nous-mêmes ? au lit ? en voyage ? chez soi, où tant de choses au retour nous paraissent meilleures ? Chacun connaît le sentiment d’avoir oublié quelque chose dans sa vie consciente, quelque chose qui est resté en route et n’a pas été tiré au clair. C’est pourquoi ce qu’on allait dire à l’instant et qui vient de nous échapper nous semble souvent si important. Et lorsqu’on quitte une chambre qu’on a assez longtemps habitée, on jette un regard bizarre autour de soi, avant de partir. Là aussi, quelque chose est resté, dont on n’a pas eu l’idée. On l’emporte néanmoins avec soi pour recommencer ailleurs. Ernst Bloch, Traces, Éditions Gallimard, 1968

It is not only easier for this age to believe in the visible than the invisible, amazingly, but even within the visible, what is discrete, subdivided seems even more real than the whole. *** No solo es más fácil para esta época creer en lo visible que en lo invisible, sorprendentemente, sino que incluso dentro de lo visible, lo que es discreto, subdividido, parece aún más real que el todo.

I’m glad the person who read and annotated this book before me also found it cute when Ernst Bloch called Adorno “Teddy”

Ernst Bloch - Il principio speranza

«Y este último elemento, el constructivo, determina también metódicamente una segunda e importante diferencia: las utopías sociales se nos presentan con el relato, con la descripción, no solo novelesca, de una sociedad futura mejor. Las teorías del Derecho natural, en cambio, trabajan, incluso en Rousseau, con deducciones desde un principio, se esfuerzan en conseguir el rango de una ciencia demostrativa. Y por lo que se refiere a la tercera, importante diferencia, esta se encuentra en la intención objetiva. Las utopías sociales están dirigidas principalmente a la dicha, o por lo menos, a la eliminación de la necesidad y de las circunstancias que mantienen o producen aquella. Las teorías iusnaturalistas, en cambio, como se ha visto claramente, están dirigidas predominantemente a la dignidad, a los derechos del hombre, a garantías jurídicas de la seguridad o libertad humanas, en tanto que categorías del orgullo humano. Y de acuerdo con ello, la utopía social está dirigida, sobre todo, a la eliminación de la miseria humana, mientras que el Derecho natural está dirigido, ante todo, a la eliminación de la humillación humana. La utopía social quiere quitar de en medio todo lo que se opone a la eudemonia de todos, mientras que el Derecho natural quiere terminar con todo lo que se opone a la autonomía y a su eunomía.»

Si è soli con sé stessi. Anche quando sono insieme con gli altri, i più rimangono soli. Dall'una e dall'altra solitudine bisogna tirarsi fuori.

Ernst Bloch – Thomas Münzer (2024)

Yirminci yüzyıla yön veren filozoflardan Ernst Bloch, yola koyuluşun, hareketin, direncin ve öngörü bilincinin düşünürüydü. Onun umut, dimdik yürüme ve somut ütopya ana-motifleri çalkantılı 1960’ların tartışmalarına da nüfûz etti. Bloch’la birlikte, felsefi düşüncenin keşfedilenin haritasını çıkarmaktan daha fazlasını ifade ettiğini öğrenebiliriz. Yaşanan ânın karanlığı ve henüz-olmamanın…

Sure, this is the ex-Vieuxtemps Guarneri and that helps but this is just an absolutely blistering, jaw-dropping performance of Bloch's "Nigun".

[aschenblumen]

Hope is in the darkness itself, partakes ofits imperceptibility, just as darkness and mystery are always related; itthreatens to disappear if it looms up too nearly, too abruptly in this darkness. We tremble in hope, in amazement; something comes over us, and people like to say that at such a moment someone is passing over where we will be buried; but in reality, insofar s we thereby experience the genuine question, a word is approaching the inmost focus of our and thus all being-there, is passing over our final self. The darkness of the nearness thus perhaps still intensifies the darkness of the secret, which of course would precisely not seem so dark if it were not in the deepest way the darkness of the nearness itself (...). *** La esperanza está en la oscuridad misma, participa de su imperceptibilidad, del mismo modo que la oscuridad y el misterio están siempre relacionados; amenaza con desaparecer si se asoma demasiado cerca, demasiado bruscamente en esta oscuridad. Temblamos de esperanza, de asombro; algo se apodera de nosotros, y a la gente le gusta decir que en ese momento alguien está pasando por encima de donde seremos enterrados; pero en realidad, en la medida en que experimentamos así la auténtica pregunta, una palabra se está acercando al foco más íntimo de nuestro ser-todo-ahí, está pasando por encima de nuestro ser final. La oscuridad de la cercanía quiz��s intensifica aún más la oscuridad del secreto, que por supuesto no parecería tan oscuro si no fuera en lo más profundo la oscuridad de la cercanía misma (...).

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY

Ernst Bloch and the Principle of Hope   

Monday 08 July 2024 is the 139th anniversary of the birth of Ernst Bloch (08 July 1885 – 04 August 1977), who was born in Ludwigshafen on this date in 1885.

Bloch wrote in a prophetic and paradoxical voice that wouldn’t work well for a lot of philosophers, but it allowed Bloch to synthesize Marxism, messianism, theology, and eschatology. Bloch’s major work, The Principle of Hope, is essentially about utopias, surveying utopias in all of their forms—medical utopias, social utopias, technological utopias, architectural utopias, and geographical utopias, and the themes of his thought all cluster around the utopian ideal—hope, striving toward and into the future, possibility, and potentiality.

„Man muss ins Gelingen verliebt sein, nicht ins Scheitern.“

Ernst Bloch

[wilderhazard]

Bloch's posture irritated some acquaintances, especially the members of the famous Weber circle in Heidelberg, which Bloch attended in those years. Marianne Weber noted Bloch's appearance at the seminar as follows, "Suddenly a new Jewish philosopher was there—a youth with an enormous head of black wavy hair and equally enormous self-consciousness, he apparently considered himself to be the precursor of a new Messiah and hoped that everyone would recognize him as such." Max Weber was so vexed by Bloch's prophetic manner, his outwardly religious amalgamation of Catholic, agnostic, apocalyptic, expressionist, and above all Jewish attitudes, that he said "the man cannot be taken seriously in scientific matters." His student, Maria Bernays, author of one of the first sociological studies of factory work, remembered Weber remarking, "I would like to send a porter to his house to pack his trunks and take them to the railroad station so that Bloch would go away."
