Pascalian Meditations
If I have resolved to ask some questions that I would rather have left to philosophy, it is because it seemed to me that philosophy, for all its questioning, did not ask them; and because, especially with re-spect to the social sciences, it never ceased to raise questions that did not seem to me to be essential - while avoiding asking itself about the reasons and above all the (often not very philosophical) causes of its questioning. I wanted to push the critique (in the Kantian sense) of scholarly reason to a point that questionings usually leave untouched and to try to make explicit the presuppositions entailed by the situ-ation of skhole, the free time, freed from the urgencies of the world, that allows a free and liberated relation to those urgencies and to the world. And it has been philosophers who, not content with engaging these presuppositions in their practice, like other professional thinkers, have brought them into the order of discourse, not so much to analyse them as to legitimate them.
