“There Have to Be Crooks in This World Too”: The Speculative Logic of the Constitutive Exception
Original language description
We use phrases such as “the exception proves the rule” to express our occasional fallibility and the necessity of dealing with it. The idea of this paper, however, is that there is a deeper layer contained in this practical necessity that manifests itself most visibly in the classical antinomies. Based on the combination of negativity with generality – in considering totalities that include everything and still must differ, by being objects, from something else – the object is construed that must exist, at least in some shadowy way, in order that the other objects could be real. I will claim that those paradoxes, as well as the spurious status of the given exception, lie even deeper in our language than the standard logical approach indicates, namely in the language’s overall sociality in which the exception is the other human being against whom our sentences our aimed. His or her shadowy existence, as Hegel’s master and slave parable has shown, is, in fact, a constitutive one leading us to Hegel’s concept of speculative logic as an adequate expression of our intrinsic fallibility.
