Mazeppism

Mazeppism is a transgressive humanism.

The Mazeppist explores the transgressive potential of Terence's "homo sum" and the Muslim shahadah.

As any hermeneutics worthy of the mantle of Hermes, Mazeppist hermeneutics transgress through pluralism, humanism, and a commitment to sect-shattering, border-crossing haeresis.

The Mazeppist appropriates Marx's Theses on Feuerbach as principles of a transgressive ethos, translating the XIth thesis into a principle of moral praxis:

While intellectuals fulfill their responsibility to interpret the world in various ways,
they fail to discharge that responsibility completely if they do not succeed in, first,
articulating and, second, enacting, a transgressive moral practice.

Of all Heidegger's "children," perhaps the one whose thought was most akin to Mazeppism was the Hannah Arendt of The Human Condition. Margaret Canovan compares Arendt's analysis of the human condition to "a table around which people are gathered...only the experience of sharing a common human world with others who look at it from different perspectives can enable us to see reality in the round and to develop a shared common sense."

The Mazeppist is the annoying guest who insists on bringing the uninvited to the table, and seating them next to the host.
