Download or read book 100 years of European Philosophy Since the Great War written by Matthew Sharpe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of specifically commissioned articles on the key continental European philosophical movements since 1914. It shows how each of these bodies of thought has been shaped by their responses to the horrors set in train by World War I, and considers whether we are yet ‘post-post-war’. The outbreak of World War I in August 1914,set in chain a series of crises and re-configurations, which have continued to shape the world for a century: industrialized slaughter, the end of colonialism and European empires, the rise of the USA, economic crises, fascism, Soviet Marxism, the gulags and the Shoah. Nearly all of the major movements in European thinking (phenomenology, psychoanalysis, Hegelianism, Marxism, political theology, critical theory and neoliberalism) were forged in, or shaped by, attempts to come to terms with the global trauma of the World Wars. This is the first book to describe the development of these movements after World War I, and as such promises to be of interest to philosophers and historians of philosophy around the world.

Download or read book In Itinere written by Roberto Poli and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1997 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume describes a virtual tour of the cities in which Franz Brentano and his pupils worked and lived, with a reconstruction of the intellectual climate of their time. After the Introduction, the intellectual life of Wurzburg, Munich, Vienna, Prag, Lvov, Warsaw, Cambridge, Florence and Milan is presented and analyzed. The papers collected in this volume propose several answers to the following question: to what do we refer when we speak of Central European philosophy?. Interpretations of Central European philosophy have developed in at least two broad directions. An interpretation fashionable during the 1970s lumps specific philosophical achievements, especially those of Mach and Wittgenstein, characterized by research into and development of new languages, of new philosophical, scientific and artistic grammars. In this situation, literature was seen as the exploration of meanings moving towards frontiers in which reality and possibility, science and metaphor, meet and merge. On the other hands, the theme of a Central European philosophy, connected with but independent of literature, has recently been given more thorough development. The two outstanding figures to have emerged from this inquiry are those of Bernard Bolzano and Franz Brentano. With reference to Brentano in particular, it is almost as if the collapse of the Empire also erased awareness of the common origin of many diverse components of Central European philosophical and scientific thought. The Polish logical school, logical neopositivism, phenomenology, the Prague school of linguistics, analytic philosophy, Gestalt psychology, the Vienna economics school - as well as a number of individual thinkers - are all movements and groups connected in some manner with Brentano's work and teaching. Although in some respects these are movements still at the centre of interest, the overall effect, the pattern of their common and unifying aspects have been neglected if they have not entirely disappeared. It seems that the unity of this philosophical tradition was lost with the end of the geographical and political unity of the Danubian empire and with the events that accompanied its downfall. After 1918 the centres of that tradition - Vienna, Prague, Lvov, Graz - belonged to different states, and its rich network of exchanges, contacts and relationships was dismantled forever. However, there still remained something of its philosophical style in each individual school; traits which enable us to speak, as the Authors have done in this volume, of Central European philosophy."

Download or read book Studies in European Philosophy written by James Lindsay and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE can hardly fail to be impressed by the wide reading which is in evidence in Dr. Lindsay's latest volume, ranging at it does from the Oriental philosophies to the,—in some instances relatively obscure, — men and movements of modern France, Italy, and Spain. In fact the book almost constitutes a history of philosophy along certain rather narrow lines, and without much effort at connecting links. The titles of the more historical chapters are as follows: Oriental Philosophy, Plato and Aristotle on Substance, Greek Philosophy of Religion, Ethical Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. Doctrine of the Logos, Gnosticism as a Philosophy of Religion, Augustine's Philosophy of History, Origen, Plotinus, Scholastic and Medieval Philosophy, Aquinas, Wyclif, Spinoza, Lessing's and Kant's Philosophy of Religion, and the chapters on modern Continental philosophy already mentioned. The selection of topics will indicate that for the most part it is the concepts which connect themselves closely with religion and theology in which the author has a particular interest. His own philosophy is constantly in the background as a critical standard, and in several somewhat more general and constructive chapters is given fuller expression, —chapters XX, XXI, XXII, and, especially, XVI, which is called a Constructive Essay in Idealism. Dr. Lindsay is concerned to recommend perhaps two things in particular: the rights of reason, of the speculative instinct as opposed for example to a too exclusive insistence on practical or moral interests, and, secondly, the claims of personality and of freedom, particularly the former, in the interpretation of the universe, alike in God and man. This philosophy of his own, which he calls Theistic Idealism, has frankly a theological bias, and is essentially the historically familiar form of British Theism, interpreted and enriched through an acquaintance with modern critical tendencies,—a universe conceived in terms of a God alike transcendent and immanent, a world of matter really existent but created, and the human soul, also existing for itself, but with the life of God immanent within it. The conclusions are for the most part set forth rather than systematically argued, — set forth most persuasively where the ethical and spiritual implications are concerned. On the more purely metaphysical side there is left the impression at times of a certain lack of rigor, though perhaps this is only due to the mode of treatment. Dr. Lindsay's rationalism is of the modest type familiar in recent times, and is, quite justifiably I should say, ready to admit the limitations of actual human knowledge; in his own words, it is part of human wisdom to be willing to be ignorant of some things with equanimity. Philosophical difficulties are not necessarily fatal; to quote again, there are elements that belong to the larger logic of life against which verbal quibblings do not avail. Nevertheless, I am a little inclined to think that Dr. Lindsay settles back on the limitations of knowledge rather too easily when he comes to the obscure places in his own theory, for example in the concepts of the material world and of creation. On the whole, however, he represents an attitude which, though doubtless it is much less imposing and up-to-date in appearance than some of the popular tendencies, seems to me to be deserving of a renewed and careful consideration. The historical chapters cover too much ground to be easily dealt with except in general terms. They differ naturally in value. In some cases the ground is rather too familiar to appeal much to the philosophical reader (though the less instructed will find it useful), and occasionally the treatment is too sketchy to be satisfactory, — this would be my judgment of the chapter on French philosophy. But there is left much which will be found interesting and instructive... —The Philosophical Review, Volume 18

Download or read book Routledge History of Philosophy Volume VIII written by Richard Kearney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-23 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continental philosophy, as it has emerged in the twentieth century, is less a seamless fabric than a patchquilt of diverse strands. Phenomenology, hermeneutics, existentialism, structuralism, critical theory, deconstruction - these are some of the salient movements which have developed in continental Europe between 1900 and the 1990's, though their influence is by no means confined to geographic location. Continental thought has proved highly exportable, circulating far beyond the frontiers of Europe to provoke strong responses in the intellectual world at large. The fifteen articles in this volume outline and assess some of the issues and experiments of continental philosophy. The first five span the twin movements of phenomenology and existentialism, running from Husserl and Heidegger to Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Levinas. Subsequent essays deal with specific currents of continental thought in such areas as science, Marxism, linguistics, politics, aesthetics, feminism and hermeneutics. A final chapter on postmodernism highlights the manner in which so many concerns of continental thought culminate in a radical anti-foundationalism. This volume provides a broad, scholarly introduction to this period for students of philosophy and related disciplines, as well as some original interpretations of these authors. It includes a glossary of technical terms and a chronological tube of philosophical, scientific and other cultural events.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Early Modern Philosophy and the Sciences written by Dana Jalobeanu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-27 with total page 2267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Encyclopedia offers a fresh, integrated and creative perspective on the formation and foundations of philosophy and science in European modernity. Combining careful contextual reconstruction with arguments from traditional philosophy, the book examines methodological dimensions, breaks down traditional oppositions such as rationalism vs. empiricism, calls attention to gender issues, to ‘insiders and outsiders’, minor figures in philosophy, and underground movements, among many other topics. In addition, and in line with important recent transformations in the fields of history of science and early modern philosophy, the volume recognizes the specificity and significance of early modern science and discusses important developments including issues of historiography (such as historical epistemology), the interplay between the material culture and modes of knowledge, expert knowledge and craft knowledge. This book stands at the crossroads of different disciplines and combines their approaches – particularly the history of science, the history of philosophy, contemporary philosophy of science, and intellectual and cultural history. It brings together over 100 philosophers, historians of science, historians of mathematics, and medicine offering a comprehensive view of early modern philosophy and the sciences. It combines and discusses recent results from two very active fields: early modern philosophy and the history of (early modern) science.
