Der vorliegende Aufsatz fragt aus politiktheoretischer Perspektive nach dem Zusammenhang von politischer Freiheit und Bildung und geht dabei in vier argumentativen Schritten vor. Auf die Gegenüberstellung der unterschiedlichen epistemologischen und anthropologischen Prämissen des negativen und positiven Freiheitsbegriffs folgt eine Verortung beider Daseinsformen der Freiheit in Hegels Rechtsphilosophie. Die zentrale These lautet dabei, dass beide Formen in Hegels politischer Theorie berücksichtigt werden. Im Anschluss daran werden politik- und bildungstheoretische Konsequenzen aus dieser Einsicht gezogen. Zunächst zeigt sich, dass beiden Freiheitsbegriffen unterschiedliche Vorstellungen von Staatlichkeit entsprechen, wobei erst die positive Auffassung von Freiheit einen politischen Begriff des Staates zur Folge hat. Schließlich kann gezeigt werden, dass ein umfassender, autonomieorientierter Bildungsbegriff diese Differenzierungen berücksichtigen muss. Eine einseitige Fokussierung auf die Bedingungen und Bestimmungen des negativen Freiheitsbegriffs wird diesen Erfordernissen nicht gerecht, weil ein solches Bildungsverständnis nicht zuletzt die politische Bildung des citoyen vernachlässigt.In my paper I try to show the following: Based on Isaiah Berlin’s distinction of negative and positive liberty, I argue that there exists an epistemological disagreement at the core of the discussion. This disagreement has important consequences for political theory and theory of education (Bildung). My first major argument is as follows: Whereas epistemological individualism leads to concepts of negative freedom, which leads to concepts of a minimal state, which leads to a rather instrumental understanding of education, epistemological holism leads to positive concepts of liberty, which leads to concepts of a political state, which leads to concepts of civic education. While the second step from a specific understanding of freedom to corresponding theories of the state is well known, connecting this discussion with differing epistemologies and concepts of education offers new insights on the continuing relevance of the debate. My second major argument refers to Hegel’s practical philosophy as laid out in the Philosophy of Right, which offers an astonishing modern view on this debate. It can be shown that Hegel resolves the conflicts between both lines of argument by integrating both of them into his philosophy of freedom. Both positive and negative freedom as well as the idea of both a minimal and a political state are integrated into Hegel’s political theory. The concluding major argument states that a one-sided emphasis on one conception of freedom (the negative one) overestimates instrumental and professional education and fails to acknowledge the importance of forms of civic and moral education.

Sexuated Topology and the Suspension of Meaning: A Non-Hermeneutical Phenomenological Approach to Textual AnalysisBailey, Steven (2014-07-31)This study assumes the subject's pursuit of meaning is generally incapacitating and should be suspended. It aims to demonstrate how such a suspension is theoretically accomplished by utilizing Lacan's formulae of sexuation integrated with his work in discourse theory and topology. Part I places this study into context by examining scholarship from the established fields of hermeneutics, phenomenology, (post)structuralism, aesthetic theory and psychoanalysis in order to extract out their respective theory of meaning. These theories reveal that an historical struggle with meaning has been underway since the Reformation and reaches near crisis proportions in the 20th century. On the one hand this crisis is mollified by the rise of Heideggerian-Gadamerian hermeneutical phenomenology which questions traditional epistemological approaches to the text using a new ontological conceptualization of meaning and a conscious rejection of methodology. On the other hand this crisis is exacerbated when the ubiquitous nature of meaning is itself challenged by (post)structuralism's discovery of the signifier which inscribes a limit to meaning, and by the domains of sense and nonsense newly opened up by aesthetic theory. These historical developments culminate in the field of psychoanalysis which most consequentially delimits a cause of meaning said to be closely linked to the core of subjectivity. Part II extends these findings by rigorously constructing out of the Lacanian sexuated formulae a decidedly non-hermeneutical phenomenological approach useful in demonstrating the sexual nature of meaning. Explicated in their static state by way of an account of their original derivation from the Aristotelian logical square, it is argued that these four formulae are relevant to basic concerns of textual theory inclusive of the hermeneutical circle of meaning. These formulae are then set into motion by integrating them with Lacan's four discourses to demonstrate the breakdown of meaning. Finally, the cuts and sutures of two-dimensional space that is topology as set down in L'étourdit are performed to confirm how the very field of meaning is ultimately suspended from a nonsensical singular point known in Lacanian psychoanalysis as objet a. The contention is that by occupying this point the subject frees himself from the debilitating grip of meaning.
