AbtractThree political thinkers who argue that identity politics and multiculturalism should be promoted within the philosophy of modern democracy are analysed. Charles Taylor believes "the politics of recognition" can promote participative citizenship and the search for common goods. Michael Walzer posits that community membership is an essential need as important as fundamental rights. Finally, Will Kymlicka argues that, in certain cases, "group differentiated rights" may be necessary to apply basic liberal principles. Also, this article demonstrates that multiculturalism runs the risk of promoting identity interest groups and the politics of resentment.

Starting with a deconstruction of the dichotomy between production and reproduction that underlines the pairing of composer and performer, Bernard Stiegler suggests that we should think of the relationship between musicians and audiences as a circuit made of a fabric of utterances. Within this context, the discussion outlines Stiegler's philosophical principles which stem in turn from the philosophical works of Husserl and Simondon: primary, secondary, collective-secondary and tertiary retentions; transductive relationships and the process of individuation; epiphylogenesis and technical systems.Conversely, music can provide philosophy with a basis for a general organology, with reference to a Nietzschean genealogical scheme. This in turn allows for a rethinking of human aesthetics in all its historicity through the description of sensory organs, prosthetics and instruments, and organizations and institutions.

Can we philosophize Twitter ? Is 140 characters enough to cultivate a virtual community based on representative communication and the sharing of opinions ? The present article seeks to address these questions through the analysis of two studies conducted on Twitter by the author. The objective is not only to highlight Twitter's potentialities and limits, which are already partly known, but also to confirm the possibility of philosophical investigation as it pertains to the era in which it emerges and to the tools through which it is expressed. It is a question of understanding these times and these tools, to relinquish the acquiescence of common sense and its categorizations, to exercise the right to critique, which philosophy has always upheld, particularly when faced with that which may seem inevitable. In return, it is a question of understanding what philosophy can be today, in an era of new technologies, to ask oneself what philosophizing means with regards to and through these new technologies, and especially to explain how it is possible to truly philosophize, in a just and good way.
