Download or read book 50 Jahre Wahrheit und Methode written by Riccardo Dottori and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2012 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turning point occurred with Heidegger's hermeneutics of facticity saw a great flourishing in Gadamer's works. Hermeneutics becomes the philosophy that undermines the scientific parameters of modernity and it looks for an extra-metodica way that leads up to truth through the rediscovery of the cultural values of our European tradition that is art, taste and culture but above all, rhetoric, practical philosophy, and that particular form of judgment called phronesis, which expresses itself in the understanding of the other and in the dialogue. This sensitivity towards the values of tradition, which represents the authentic authority since it's the consent on which the civil society is based, cannot for Gadamer withdraw into itself but it must open itself to the intercultural dialogue as an ethical answer to the challenge of globalization. PLEASE NOTE: Only three of the book's twenty-two essays are in English language text. (Series: The Dialogue - Yearbook of Philosophical Hermeneutics - Vol. 5)

Download or read book Critical Monks written by Thomas Wallnig and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benedictine scholars around 1700, most prominently proponents of historical criticism, have long been regarded as the spearhead of ecclesiastical learning on the brink of Enlightenment, first in France, then in Germany and other parts of Europe. Based on unpublished sources, this book is the first to contextualize this narrative in its highly complex pre-modern setting, and thus at some distance from modernist ascriptions ex posteriori. Challenged by Protestant and Catholic anti-monasticism, Benedictine scholars strove to maintain control of their intellectual tradition. They failed thoroughly, however: in the Holy Roman Empire, their success depended on an anti-Roman and nationalized reading of their research. For them, becoming part of an Enlightenment narrative meant becoming part of a cultural project of “Germany”.

Download or read book The Historical Constellation of the Sturm und Drang written by Larry Vaughan and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1985 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study weaves the fabric of 18th-century German history into a multilayered garment with an eye to the brilliant and unifying, if broken, thread of the Sturm und Drang. The analysis proceeds in an interdisciplinary fashion between social layers: political economy, institutional structures, cultural configurations, forms of consciousness. The study moves dialectically, considering all phenomena equidistant from a riven yet holding center: on the one hand, a developing market economy and civil society, but the retardive corporative/feudal regime; on the other, a growing absence of genuine value (if only in nostalgia), and the seething need of the «brothers» of unseat the «fathers» of received opinion. Though in life as in literature, the brothers came undone--or did themselves in--and so ended this later 18th-century socio-aesthetic revolution, the German form of the French Revolution (Korff).
Download or read book Heisenberg in the Atomic Age written by Cathryn Carson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-11 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Second World War opened a new era for science in public life. Heisenberg in the Atomic Age explores the transformations of science's public presence in the postwar Federal Republic of Germany. It shows how Heisenberg's philosophical commentaries, circulating in the mass media, secured his role as science's public philosopher, and it reflects on his policy engagements and public political stands, which helped redefine the relationship between science and the state. With deep archival grounding, the book tracks Heisenberg's interactions with intellectuals from Heidegger to Habermas and political leaders from Adenauer to Brandt. It also traces his evolving statements about his wartime research on nuclear fission for the National Socialist regime. Working between the history of science and German history, the book's central theme is the place of scientific rationality in public life - after the atomic bomb, in the wake of the Third Reich.
Download or read book The Event of Meaning in Gadamer s Hermeneutics written by Carlo DaVia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first detailed treatment of Gadamer’s account of the nature of meaning. It argues both that this account is philosophically valuable in its own right and that understanding it sheds new light on his wider hermeneutical project. Whereas philosophers have typically thought of meanings as belonging to a special class of objects, the central claim of Gadamer’s view is that meanings are events. Instead of a pre-existing content that we must unearth through our interpretive efforts, for Gadamer the meaning of a text is what happens when we encounter it in the appropriate way. In events of meaning the world makes itself intelligibly present to us in a manner that is uniquely and irreducibly bound up with the concrete situation in which we find ourselves. When we recognize that Gadamer thinks of meaning in this way, we are better positioned to appreciate what his wider views amount to and how they hang together. Gadamer’s accounts of interpretive normativity, the aspectival character of understanding, and the nature of essences, for example, snap into more vivid relief when we see them as outgrowths of his underlying conception of meanings as events. The Event of Meaning in Gadamer’s Hermeneutics will especially appeal to researchers and advanced students working in hermeneutics, phenomenology, and the philosophy of language. More broadly it will be of interest to humanities teachers and researchers concerned with the question of how texts from distant cultures can be relevant to readers here and now.

Download or read book The Wrath that Came written by Jack E. Brush and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wrath that Came alludes to the preaching of John the Baptist in Mt. 3:7, which serves as the starting point for an analysis of evil and wrath in contemporary society. After establishing the undeniable and inexplicable reality of evil, this book discusses the futile attempts to reconcile evil with the reality of God as well as the modern secularization of evil through psychology, medicine, and philosophy. The primitive concept of divine wrath as “brimstone and fire” is presented, but then rejected in favour of the insight of the Apostle Paul. According to Paul, the wrath of God is manifested not in catastrophic events, but rather in his withdrawal – the silent response to evil. Finally, an analysis of the self demonstrates that evil and wrath have both an individual and a societal dimension.
Download or read book Constructive Destruction written by Richard T. Gray and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-01-02 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study presents a thorough investigation of Kafka's aphoristic writings, examining them in terms of the history of the aphorism in Germany, and paying special regard to Kafka's contemporary Austrian aphorists. Emphasis is placed on the role of the aphorism in the development of Kafka's literary creativity. Aphoristic discourse presented itself to Kafka as a possible manner of resolving specific conflicts in his life and art, above all the crisis of communication the individuality of the self. Aphoristic structure provides the transitional link between Kafka´s early perspectivistic narratives and the parables of the later period.

Book excerpt: Elf Autoren untersuchen in diesem Band das Werk Ralf Dreiers, einem der herausragenden deutschen Rechtsphilosophen der Generation derer, die zwar noch vor 1945 aufgewachsen sind, deren eigenständiges Denken sich aber erst in der Nachkriegszeit entfaltet hat. Im Zentrum der Dreierschen ÿberlegungen steht die klassische Kernfrage der Rechtsphilosophie: 'Was ist Recht?' Seine Art, dies Problem zu behandeln, läÃYt sich durch die Begriffe des Systems und der Interpretation kennzeichnen. Mit groÃYer integrativer Kraft behandelt er die Verhältnisse zwischen Rechtsphilosophie, Rechtstheorie, Rechtssoziologie und Rechtsdogmatik. Sein Leitmotiv ist dabei das ZusammenfÃ1⁄4gen des Getrennten und Zerstreuten zu einem Ganzen, zu einem System.
