Download or read book Goethes Naturphilosophie zwischen Spinoza und Nietzsche written by Albert Jungmann and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1989 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die vorliegende Untersuchung will zeigen, wie sehr Goethes Naturverständnis in der Anthropologie und Ontologie der Aufklärung und des Sturm und Drang integriert ist. Erst mit der Rezeption der Ethik Spinozas, in der er, ganz gegen das allgemeine Verständnis, keine mathematisch-mechanistische Metaphysik sieht, sondern sie als eine Theorie der Lebendigkeit versteht, gewinnt Goethes Denken ein eigenständiges anthropologisches und ontologisches Profil. Dies bestimmt seine Naturforschung. Aus dieser Spinozistisch- Goethischen Perspektive - durchaus eine Alternative zu Kants «kopernikanischer Wende» - verliert selbst der radikal erscheinende Ansatz Nietzscher Metaphysik seine Radikalität: Goethes Naturphilosophie scheint in Nietzsches Theorie des Willens zur Macht eine folgerichtige Fortsetzung und Auslegung zu finden. Die aktuelle Diskussion um die Zerstörung der Natur muß sich, will sie sich Goethes Physis-Begriff zu eigen machen, diese Nähe zur Metaphysik vergegenwärtigen. Eine technologisch- naturwissenschaftliche Wende erscheint zwar als eine notwendige, aber keineswegs hinreichende Bedingung für eine Veränderung in unserem Naturverständnis. Es bedarf darüber hinaus auch einer tiefer greifenden metaphysischen Anstrengung.

Download or read book The Gift of Truth written by Stephen David Ross and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1997-04-24 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume traces the history of the idea of truth as an ethical movement, exploring those developments in Western thought, from Plato and Aristotle through Kant and Hegel, when ethics was separated from science and philosophy. At the heart of the project is a reexamination of the good, found in Plato as that which makes being possible, which gives authority to knowledge and beckons to art, preserved in Levinas as infinite responsibility. The idea of the good is interpreted as nature's abundance, giving beauty and truth as gifts. It gives rise to an ethics of inclusion.

Download or read book Critical Rationalism the Social Sciences and the Humanities written by I.C. Jarvie and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An outstanding feature of this book is the broad range of the contributors, drawn from Europe, the Middle East and North America, testifying both to the range of Professor Agassi's interests and the geographical spread of his influence. Most contributors use Agassi's ideas as a springboard to engage in debate on issues, or offer a contribution in an area that interests him. In this volume contributors consider such questions as Agassi's philosophy of education, in practice as well as in theory; the impact of psychologism in philosophy; the origins of critical rationalism in the Bible; the debates in economics stimulated by the work of Popper and Agassi, and many other topics. Besides the special topics, the reader gains some sense of the fruitfulness of critical rationalism in the hands of Agassi's friends and colleagues.
Download or read book Lectures on Imagination written by Paul Ricoeur and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Paul Ricoeur died in 2005, the New York Times described him as "one of the most eminent philosophers of the twentieth century." In his lifetime, Ricoeur published influential works on language, memory, identity, and history, creating an innovative blend of hermeneutics and phenomenology. Despite his major interest in the imagination, however, he never wrote a complete text on the topic. The present volume, Lectures on Imagination, fills this gap, providing an indispensable resource for philosophically inclined readers from all backgrounds. Over the course of these lectures, Ricoeur examines classical and contemporary philosophical theories of imagination, ranging from thinkers such as Aristotle, Pascal, Spinoza, Hume, and Kant to Husserl, Wittgenstein, Sartre, and Ryle. He argues that, with few exceptions, Western philosophy has focused on reproductive rather than productive imagination, thus diminishing the creative capacity of the human mind. For Ricoeur, productive imagination is a form of fiction-a new dimension of reality generated by the human mind. His theory has far-reaching implications. In all domains, we are not restricted by existing structures or institutions, because the productive imagination has the power to break through and transform our sense of our own horizons"--
Download or read book The Gift of Kinds written by Stephen David Ross and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1999-09-16 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fourth volume of Stephen David Ross's ongoing project reexamining the Western philosophical tradition, The Gift of Kinds explores the order of things, linking the kinds of the natural world to disciplinary distinctions and to social divisions by gender, race, class, and nationality. It pursues a local and contingent ethics that pervades human life and the earth that responds to the expressiveness of things everywhere, resisting the tyranny of kinds, human and otherwise. The book examines the idea of natural and human kinds as requisite to any thought of heterogeneity and any resistance to neutrality, developed in relation to ecological and environmental issues. The giving of the good is understood in terms of species and kinds, linked with genealogy: family, gender, race, kin, and kind. Levinas's sense of exposure–expression and proximity–is interpreted as propinquity. Kinds are interpreted as intermediary figures between histories of domination and celebrations of responsibility, between essentialism and identity politics.

Download or read book Laughter and Narrative in the Later Middle Ages written by Sebastian Coxon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the vernacular literary traditions of France, Italy and England, comic tales in verse flourished in late medieval Germany, providing bawdy entertainment for larger audiences of public recitals as well as for smaller numbers of individual readers. In a sustained close analysis Sebastian Coxon explores both the narrative design and fundamental thematic preoccupations of these short texts. A distinctively performative tradition of pre-modern narrative literature emerges which invited its recipients to think, learn and above all to laugh in a number of different ways.

Download or read book Critique of the Power of Judgment written by Immanuel Kant and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-11 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Critique of the Power of Judgment (a more accurate rendition of what has hitherto been translated as the Critique of Judgment) is the third of Kant's great critiques following the Critique of Pure Reason and the Critique of Practical Reason. This translation of Kant's masterpiece follows the principles and high standards of all other volumes in The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Immanuel Kant. This volume, first published in 2000, includes: the indispensable first draft of Kant's introduction to the work; an English edition notes to the many differences between the first (1790) and second (1793) editions of the work; and relevant passages in Kant's anthropology lectures where he elaborated on his aesthetic views. All in all this edition offers the serious student of Kant a dramatically richer, more complete and more accurate translation.
Download or read book The German Mittelweg written by Michael G. Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1790s, a close-knit group of German philosophers published several garden theory texts. These works are unique in that a close-knit group of philosophers had never before--and has not since--produced so many works on the topic of garden design. In essence, this cohort sought to imbue the most visionary concepts that had been inherited from the German garden tradition with the intellectual resources that were newly available through Kant’s critical philosophy. The most important of these concepts was the prescription for a new Mittelweg, or "middle path," garden that would mediate between the perceived excesses of French formalism and the English picturesque. In close analysis, the author demonstrates that Kant used similar "middle path" techniques in the design of his own "critical path" between dogmatism and skepticism. This similarity is most apparent when he uses topographical metaphors to describe the organizational principles of his system. By interpreting Kant’s topographical metaphors in relation to contemporary garden theories, this book offers new insights into the structural similarities between his "critical path" and the German garden’s "middle path" between French formalism and the English picturesque.
Download or read book Afterlives of Romantic Intermediality written by Leena Eilittä and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-12-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afterlives of Romantic Intermediality addresses the manifold, even global artistic developments that were initiated by European Romantics. In the first section, the contributors show how the rising perspective of intermediality was discussed in philosophical terms and adapted itself to Romantic literature and music. In the second section, the contributors show how post-Romantic writers, visual artists, and composers have engaged with Romantic heritage. By exploring primary works that range from European arts to Latin American literature, these essays focus on the interdisciplinary developments that have emerged in literature, music, painting, film, architecture, and video art. Overall, the contributions in this volume demonstrate that intermedial connections—or sometimes the conscious lack of such connections—embody intriguing aspects of modernity and postmodernity.
