“…What the main character feels is that his freedom is limited. This is indeed in line with the principle of human right that must be limited by own deeds and restricted by others' (Levy, 2011;Rae, 2011). It is not infinite and will surely come to point of being alienated.…”

“…He knows that he is original, but he is annoyed since his job is not usual for people. Common people only know that laughter in television and any other media is quite original (Gusman, 2020;Howells, 1992;Rae, 2011). They do not know that it is set and done by the main character.…”

“…It is done for the job but not for his own life. In the term of spontaneous laughing, people laugh from inside to the outside (Howells, 1992;Rae, 2011). People do not care if the laughter is perfect since it is instant emotion that comes out.…”

People are justified to be original but it could hinder people from their freedom as stated by Jean-Paul Sartre. The Laugher is Heinrich Böll’s short story of someone whose job is to laugh in various platforms. His laughter must be heard as original but his own life is full of pessimistic conditions. Then, how may being authentic be contested through Böll’s The Laugher? Through qualitative method on cultural studies, this paper puts tensions between being authentic by Sartre and reality of Böll’s story. The laugh seems to be authentic, but it is set to trigger other laughter, yet he is not happy though he laughs every time. He is demanded to laugh, but the laugh is bad faith as supported by Sartre. Authenticity in Böll’s story shows its own discontent. In conclusion, the story shows how laughter is done in a timed set. His laugh is not freedom since his own life is full of sad conditions.

“…Melagingos sąmonės, kaip nuoširdžiai tikinčios prekinio fetišizmo formomis, pakeistinėmis mąstymo formomis, idėja stipriai paveikė visą Vakarų marksizmą, Karlą Mannheimą (Mažeikis, 2005, 282-284) ir tapo viena svarbesnių Sartre'o idėjų. Tačiau jis šį klausimą kelia naujai, siedamas su Niekio ir apsisprendimo problema (Rae, 2011).…”

Vytauto Didžiojo universitetas, Politikos mokslų fakultetas, Filosofijos ir socialinės kritikos katedra, Gedimino 44-101, 44240 Kaunas, gintautas�mazeikis@pmdf�vdu�lt Anotacija. Straipsnyje plėtojama apšvietos idealų kritika, pabrėžiamas sąžiningo proto ir objektyvios saviapgaulės ribotumas ir aiškinamos egzistencijos ir nepamatiškumo sąsajos. Objektyvacija, principingumas, nuoseklus sąžiningumas yra apšvietos paskatinti krypsmai, kurie ir šiandien veikia politinius ir institucinius sprendimus ir visuomenės reguliavimą. Straipsnyje polemiškai analizuojami: a) Hegelio samprotavimai apie apšviestą sąžiningą ir nelaimingą protą, objektyvacijos ribotumą, tarnystę abstraktiems principams, kurie išdėstyti "Dvasios fenomenologijoje"; b) Sartre'o diskusija apie sąžiningą, nuoseklią, principingą saviapgaulę ir žmogaus būties kartu su kitais fenomenas, aiškinami kūriniai "Būtis ir Niekis" ir "Egzistencializmas-tai humanizmas"; c) aptariamas nepamatiškumas kaip egzistencinio apsisprendimo prielaida ir jo sąsajos su politiškumu ir alternatyvų svarstymu. Straipsnyje aptariamas veiklus, integruotas į visuomenę ir įgalinantis žmogus, kuris kartu su kitais nuolatos peržengia objektyvizmo ir principingumo suvaržymus, atveria kelią alternatyviam dialogui, diplomatijai ir politiškumui. Straipsnio tikslas yra aktualizuoti sąžiningo proto ir apšviestosios saviapgaulės kritiką, kuri taikoma dabarties objektyvistinėms nuostatoms ir tariamai pakankamai pagrįstiems socialinio konstruktyvizmo sprendimams.

“…While it is true that the pre-conversion consciousness of Being and Nothingness cannot develop a form of positive recognition, in his later works, Sartre holds that, if each consciousness undergoes a process of conversion so as to recognize its dependence on objectivity and the other, then social relations based on a positive form of mutual recognition are possible. Disley’s Sartre is, therefore, not one that contemporary Sartrean scholarship would recognize (Heter 2008; Mirvish 2002; Rae 2011, 2012). This means that her comparison between Hegel and Sartre is a missed opportunity to bring the two thinkers together in a nuanced and subtle manner.…”

Both conceptually and historically speaking, Hegel's analysis of recognition has a justifiable claim to being the most famous and influential aspect of his system. While the importance of the other to questions of selfhood had been previously recognized, it is with Hegel that the concept fully enters the philosophical lexicon: he not only diagnoses the failings of a monadic conception of self, but also shows that the other is a constitutive aspect of the self. Not surprisingly, much has been written on this topic, meaning that a new study must find some way to distinguish itself. Liz Disley does this by offering a condensed examination of the relationship between love, forgiveness, and recognition to suggest that love and forgiveness 'are both examples of positive recognition and can serve as ethical norms of human interaction' (1). Love is a topic that, while often discussed by Hegel, has tended to be overlooked in the literature. One of the few exceptions to this is Toula Nicolacopoulos and George Vassilacopoulos's Hegel and the Logical Structure of Love (1999), which examines Hegel's conception of love through the lens of the categories of the Science of Logic. Disley takes a different approach. Setting herself an ambitious agenda, especially within a book of 152 pages of actual text, she not only aims to show how love, forgiveness and recognition are conceptualized within Hegel's thought, but at the same time engages with a number of questions relating to the nature of meaningful intersubjectivity and the conditions that make this possible, such as how moral responsibility and forgiveness can have meaning, what Hegel's conception of love/forgiveness can contribute to contemporary discussions in moral philosophy, the relationship between Hegel's conceptions of love/forgiveness and German Idealism, and the former's applicability to contemporary discussions of forgiveness (1-2). The aim is not to argue that Hegel 'has all of the answers, much less all of the correct answers, but [that he is] someone who serves as the originator of the most promising kind of approach' (2). Rather than offering an exhaustive account of Hegel's thinking on love, forgiveness and recognition, the book is an attempt to think through the theme of intersubjectivity that touches on and borrows from a particular assumed reading of love, forgiveness and recognition in Hegel.
