POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AND CHEAP POLITICS
Journal Title: Вісник Львівського університету - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue
Abstract
Political philosophy, that rather disreputable, not very philosophical branch of philosophy, has always wanted to get out of politics, to put an end to this politics of politics, by finally speaking its truth. Ideally, the fondest desire may be to find or invent a politics unaffected by the politics of politics (a truly moral politics, perhaps, of the kind Kant seems to encourage), but that desire is metaphysical through and through. So-called “cheap politics” is engaged in the politics of politics as soon as that phenomenon is engaged in politics, i.e. from the very first, “naturally” as Aristotle put it. The logos of politics is irreducibly affected by the kind of distortion and deceit that is usually – moralistically – associated with rhetoric or sophistry, with “spin tactics”. Politics is always already the politics of politics.
