What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani takes up neo-Kantianism as a concept constructed by Michel Clouscard. He distinguishes it from the neo-Kantianism of the textbooks: it is a generic term that also applies to thinkers who do not call themselves Kantians1. He sees in it contemporary bourgeois philosophy as a whole. This philosophy is marked by a bestowal of meaning that ignores the antepredicative, and by dichotomies: noumenon and phenomenon, empiricism and formalism2, the logical and the ontological3. He considers it a regression relative to Kant, from whom it keeps only the least interesting part, the part that is not the philosophy of the French Revolution4. It is also a regression after Marx. Returning to Kant serves to go back behind dialectics: this is the philosophical constitution of the counter-revolution5. The neo-Kantians thus have the political task of "de-Marxising" the university6. He describes a shift from a cognitive neo-Kantianism, which limits knowledge to nature, to a moral neo-Kantianism, Sartre's voluntarism7. At best, this current produces structural linguistics, without ever reaching the materiality of the tool8.
