The article proposes an analysis of the encounter between Merry Pranksters and Hell’s Angels that took place in the mid-sixties in California. The objective was to understand the complex and ambiguous logic and dynamics of that encounter: from the first contacts to a temporary alliance, built mostly during the joint LSD parties, and the final conflict that had also its political expression. The events described have been put in the wider context of the rise and fall of the American counterculture and yet presented basically in their singularity. Main points of reference were the writings of Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe.

Artykuł zawiera analizę spotkania, do jakiego doszło w połowie lat sześćdziesiątych w Kalifornii między grupą Merry Pranksters a członkami Hell’s Angels. Chodziło zrozumienie złożonej i niejednoznacznej logiki i dynamiki tego spotkania – począwszy od nawiązania kontaktu, przez tymczasowy alians, w którym dużą rolę odegrały wspólne imprezy i zażywanie LSD, aż do konfliktu, który znalazł także swój wyraz polityczny. Opisywane wydarzenia zostały wpisane w szerszy kontekst rozkwitu i zmierzchu amerykańskiej kontrkultury, zasadniczo jednak ukazano je w ich jednostkowości. Głównymi punktami odniesienia były teksty Huntera S. Thompsona i Toma Wolfe’a.

Michel Foucault defined parrhesia as “the free courage by which one binds oneself in the act of telling the truth.” Could telling objective untruth also be a parrhesiastic act, insofar as it requires courage and initiates subjectivation? Climate deniers, anti-vaccinationists and other groups that delegitimize the authority of science present themselves as courageously standing up against the dominant discourse, as rebellious subjects who speak the inconvenient and unaccepted truths. It is not difficult to prove that their truths are untruths, but it remains problematic to distinguish true courage from its simulacra. This article argues that Foucault’s investigations of truth, subjectivity, and power become of great use in the face of today’s confusion. The phenomenon of post-truth cannot be explained simply as the product of postmodern relativism. The will-to-truth, along with the will to constitute oneself as a truth-telling subject, persists, requiring critical analysis more than ever. What may prove politically efficient is to engage in the kind of critique that would account for actual power relations and unmask false courage rather than debunk specific concepts or ideas.

Preview: /Review: Agata Bielik-Robson, Another Finitude: Messianic Vitalism and Philosophy (London and New York: Bloomsbury, 2019), 312 pages./ Since Nietzsche announced (or prophesied) the death of God, thinkers who took his words seriously have been dealing with one crucial question: how to live a life stripped of any references to transcendent divinity? Are we to mourn God’s death indefinitely? Will we finally acknowledge and embrace our status of finite and contingent creatures? In her recent book titled Another Finitude Agata Bielik Robson addresses these questions. While this is certainly not the first time she has tackled such issues, this study displays the kind of determination, clarity and subtlety that makes it truly exceptional. Further, Bielik-Robson’s style is compelling, precise, yet fluent; it boasts a highly affirmative tone.

Od ontologii do etyki wydarzenia

The text is an attempt of a double reading of Gilles Deleuze’s Logic of Sense as an otology of incorporeal events as well as an ethics calling for “being worthy of what happens to us”. The first aspect refers to the necessity of overcoming phenomenology and revisiting the foundations of transcendentalism, while in his ethics of the event Deleuze draws inspiration from stoics and Nietzsche, as well as writers like Bousquet, Lowry and Fitzgerald. It is an ethics based on the imperative of affirmation of the world as becoming – an affirmation both on the level or surfaceof the pure thought and in one’s own body, for which such an act means alwaysa kind of wound or the threat of breakdown.
PL
Tekst stanowi próbę podwójnej lektury Deleuzjańskiej Logiki sensu jako, z jednej strony, ontologii niecielesnych wydarzeń, z drugiej zaś – etyki wzywającej do „bycia godnym tego, co nam się przydarza”. Ten pierwszy aspekt wiąże się z koniecznością przezwyciężenia fenomenologii i zrewidowania założeń filozofii transcendentalnej. Z kolei swoją etykę wydarzenia Deleuze rozwija, nawiązując do stoików i Nietzschego, a także pisarzy takich jak Bousquet, Lowry czy Fitzgerald. Opiera się ona na imperatywie afirmacji świata jako stawania się – afirmacji zarówno na płaszczyźnie albo powierzchni czystej myśli, jak i we własnym ciele, dla którego jednak oznacza to zawsze ranę, zagrożenie rozpadem.
