Die Armee, das Kontingent und die sozialen Klassen
Wie die anderen totalitären Institutionen unterwirft die Armee die Rekruten Techniken und Ritualen, deren Funktion es ist, sie vom Alltagsleben zu trennen und ein diszipliniertes Verhalten hervor-zubringen.Trotz der scheinbaren Gleichheit in der Armee richtet sich diese Disziplinierung vor allem gegen jene, die aus den beherrschten Klassen stammen. Dieses folgt sowohl aus der unterschiedlichen Klassenherkunft der Rekruten und deren Verteilung auf verschiedene Waffengattungen, als auch aus der Arbeitsteilung zwischen Offizieren und Unteroffizieren. Das Militär als Institution prägt den unterdrückten Klassen den Ordnungssinn ehi und bereitet sie auf eine Selbstdisziplin vor. Es trägt so dazu bei, das Schicksal des Beherrschten, und dadurch die soziale Ordnung zu reproduzieren.

France's importation of Husserlian phenomenology between 1930 and 1950 can be understood only against the background of the constitution of «German philosophy» as a (quasi) theoretical label. Since the turn of the century, this field had been dominated by a single orientation: «rationalistic idealism», embodied by a key figure of the «New Sorbonne», Léon Brunschvicg: this was an alliance between academic tradition, science and democracy. For the mediators who fostered the importation of phenomenology and German philosophy, the «anti-scientistic» dimension was essential: to the object constructed by the intellect, they opposed the «concrete», «things themselves», the -originaire; because of this, other aspects of Husserl's work were ignored or minimized. This can be seen in the discourses of major figures of this labor of importation who, being of foreign origin and/or occupying marginal positions, combined a specific linguistic capital with a philosophical capital which did not permit them to expect full academic recognition: these outsiders were therefore predisposed to instigate a «conservative revolution» in philosophy, to be sure in an attenuated version adapted to the conditions of an intellectual as well as political order then reigning in France. Husserl's position in the space of «German philosophy», moreover, needs to be compared with that of Hegel, who at the same moment was predisposed to embody the secular pole, more open to existential and historical questions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
