| Ethic of responsibility/ethic of ultimate ends | Max Weber in his “Politics as Vocation.” | Despite the seeming contradiction, Weber believes a good politician should consider both. He writes, “[A]n ethic of ultimate ends and an ethic of responsibility are not absolute contrasts but rather supplements... |
| Repressive Hypothesis | Michel Foucault, The History of Sexuality (Volume 1), 1976 | Foucault DISAGREES with the repressive hypothesis.

| Apolline/Dionysiac | Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy, 1872 | The Apollonian and Dionysian is a philosophical dichotomy based on certain figures in ancient Greek mythology (Apollo and Dionysus). Nietzsche approached the concept from a aesthetic and philosophical point of view. |

| Humanism | Sartre, Beauvoir, Camus—Existentialism is Humanism, 1945 | In creating ourselves, we also construct a mandate for what we want the rest of the world to be. In fashioning myself I fashion man. (Kantian categorical imperative) |
| “Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”: | Freud, Ego & Id, 1923 | the development of an organism (ontogeny) expresses all the intermediate forms of its ancestors throughout evolution (phylogeny). Freud adopted this idea and applied to psychoanalysis |
| Positivism | Weber, The Vocations, 1918 | the only authentic knowledge is that which is based on actual sense experience-EMPIRCISM!! Weber inverts this in his sociology by purporting “ideal types” and generalizable social ideas in society. |
| The “oceanic” | Freud, Civilization and its Discontents 1930 | the feeling of belonging and some greater essence out there. Hearkens to the womb in Freud’s earlier psychology; total comfort and meaning in the universe etc. |
| “The whole is the false” | Lukacs | part of critical theory. Implies the danger of striving for a totality, because that promotes the lie of full social harmony – which was the very idea promoted by capitalism when it tried to defuse revolutionary energy. |

| Cyclops’ Eye | Friedrich Nietzsche The Birth of Tragedy 1872 | the way in which Socrates viewed tragedy – that is, without depth perception. His disengaged theoretical perception of tragedy forced structure onto tragedy that destroyed exactly what made it pure art: |

| Episteme | Foucault, The Order of Things (Les mots et les choses), 1966 | It is he body of ideas that determine the knowledge that is intellectually certain at any particular time, or the accepted mode of acquiring and arranging knowledge in a given period. |

| Authenticity | Heidegger- Being and Time | says that normally we are very artificial with regards to other people, that we follow social norms instead of focusing on how we should be. If we were more accepting of our "throwness", less obsessed with finding a grounding to our lives—more authentic. |
| Presence | Derrida- Structure, Sign and Play | claim is that an obsession with presence has led to a preference for speech to writing in philosophy/anthropology. Writing is by nature ambiguous, better allows for a deconstructive play between signs. |
