摘要：This article develops an outline of Walter Benjamin’s idea of annihilatingcritique as presented in his essay fragment entitled “Theological-PoliticalFragment.” Annihilating critique is a world politics that releases thoughtfrom thinking the good in terms of relativised values and the efficiency ofmeans, in order to think the good as absolute value. My claim is that such acritique is needed to respond to the demand of climate change: the call to mefrom an immanent outside to change my relation to nature from one basedon possessiveness in systems of relative value (the neoliberal market), wherethe good of nature becomes my own self-interest, to one based on nonpossessivehaving of the good of nature as sharing in common. Indeveloping this critique, the article proposes the concept of just-sharing – thecommon sharing of the good of nature – through a reading of Benjamin’sbrief notes entitled “Notes to a Study on the Category of Justice,” in which asubject is retrieved as the novum of critique. Through just-sharing, a nonpossessivesubject – one capable of thinking the good of nature as just – isproposed. Such a subject takes responsibility for ends it shares with others bynaming them and acting as an agent of their fulfilment. Further reading ofBenjamin’s essays on the task of the poet outlines how critique in the nameof a non-possessive subject can become a praxis of poetizing, where thecritical act itself partakes of the good of nature as just-sharing.
