摘要
The academic boycott against Israeli academics is often justified on the basis of Israeli human rights violations. Against this reasoning this article defends a politics of academic boycott in a narrower, self-contained sense, which is based on the traditional idea of the academic community as a truth- directed social collective. Against postmodern critics this idea is defended by recourse to Charles Peirce's idea of the scientific community. With this idea of academic freedom in hand Judith Butler and the PACBI appeal for the boycott are criticised. Also, a more precise criterion as to when academics can be seen to be 'complicit' with an evil politics is suggested in the essay.
