Example text
7 Here is the point at which Hegel’s thought assumes, even more expressly, a contemporary figure. The recuperation of the positivity of labor to the life of Spirit, labors’s very deep involvement [inerenza] and its very fundamental nature, cannot be given as such. Civilization [civiltà] isn’t simply labor but regulated, organized, and r e r e a d i n g h eg e l 33 controlled labor. Labor, without Right, without the State, becomes chaos, the life of a dead body, particularity that arrogates universality for itself.
Augustine provides the foundation, stems from the fact that the political subject has to invent its own facticity. Facticity, as we have seen, never preexists the political community. And invention corresponds to the act that Derrida calls, taking up one of St. Augustine’s expressions, “faire la vérité” (to make the truth). ” What does “to make the truth” mean? ”28 This means that to confess is not to recount one’s life, according to what would be a purely private gesture, but rather to give life itself the political access to its own facticity.
How can Hegel carry out such an inversion: the general will precedes the individual will? Is this not a reversal which threatens to ruin Rousseau’s entire theory for which there is no doubt that the general will is a product of the union of individual wills? To answer these questions, we have to examine the role of language in this process. We are familiar with the Hegelian critique of the contract and contractual ideologies. But the essential reason for this critique is perhaps not always well understood, this being precisely that contract theory in general presents a relationship between the individual and the community that is not ordered in conformity with the concept, since this theory affirms that there are first individuals and then the social body.
