From: "Stuart Elden" <stuartelden-AT-btconnect.com> Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?RE:_actualit=E9?= Date: Sat, 6 Nov 2004 15:02:03 -0000 This is my translation of a passage with this term in it I consider myself as a journalist, insofar as what interests me is the present [l'actualiti]... Philosophy, until Nietzsche, had eternity for its raison d'jtre. The first philosopher-journalist was Nietzsche. He introduced the today [l'aujourd'hui] into the field of philosophy. Before, the philosopher knew time and eternity, but Nietzsche was obsessed by the present [l'actualiti]... If we want to be masters of our future we must pose fundamentally the question of the today. That is why, for me, philosophy is a type of radical journalism (Dits et ecrits, Four Volume edition, II, 434).

K I haven't listened to the lecture, but one alternate meaning of actualiti which comes to mind is "news," or "current events." The Quebec newspaper L'actualiti is an example.
