Download or read book Phenomenology of the View and Impression of the Theory of Philosophical Conceptual Debt written by Martin Heidegger and published by Livraria Press. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new translation of Martin Heidegger's early work "Phenomenology of the View and Impression of the Theory of Philosophical Conceptual Debt" (original German title "Phanomenologie der anschauung und des auddrucks theorie der philosophischen Begriffsbuldung"), originally published in 1919. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. Heidegger's work critically examines the role and function of a "theory of philosophical concept formation" in phenomenology, suggesting that this topic, while seemingly specialized, is essential for understanding broader philosophical issues. The text debates the nature and implications of phenomenological methods, touching on topics like the relationship between absolute and relative concepts, the problem of life as a central phenomenon, and the dichotomy between rational and irrational elements in philosophy. It also explores historical and cultural contexts in philosophy, analyzing how these aspects influence philosophical thinking and concept formation. Heidegger focuses on phenomenological destruction (Destruktion) in philosophy, particularly in the context of phenomenology. It highlights the importance of understanding the origin and direction of meanings in philosophical concepts, emphasizing that these meanings often point to larger, interconnected contexts. The text stresses that phenomenological destruction is not aimless or arbitrary, but is instead a directed deconstruction that leads into the situation of following preconceptions and the execution of preconceptions, thus arriving at foundational experiences. The text also discusses the phenomenon of "pre-signing" (Vorzeichnung) and "pre-grasping" (Vorgriff), explaining that these are fundamental to understanding how multiple meanings and unity of meaning are characterized and founded. It notes that phenomenological destruction is inherently linked to the act of philosophizing and is not just a methodological tool for limited purposes. This is because philosophy is always an element of factual life experience and not just abstract definitions. Heidegger naturally pivots back to the understanding of history in various contexts, outlining six different meanings of 'history' and how each reflects different aspects of life experience and philosophical inquiry. These meanings range from history as a field of study, to a tradition, to personal or city history, and even to history as an occurrence or incident. This exploration serves to illustrate the complexity and richness of phenomenological analysis in philosophy.

Download or read book The Evolution of the Sensitive Soul written by Simona Ginsburg and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new theory about the origins of consciousness that finds learning to be the driving force in the evolutionary transition to basic consciousness. What marked the evolutionary transition from organisms that lacked consciousness to those with consciousness—to minimal subjective experiencing, or, as Aristotle described it, “the sensitive soul”? In this book, Simona Ginsburg and Eva Jablonka propose a new theory about the origin of consciousness that finds learning to be the driving force in the transition to basic consciousness. Using a methodology similar to that used by scientists when they identified the transition from non-life to life, Ginsburg and Jablonka suggest a set of criteria, identify a marker for the transition to minimal consciousness, and explore the far-reaching biological, psychological, and philosophical implications. After presenting the historical, neurobiological, and philosophical foundations of their analysis, Ginsburg and Jablonka propose that the evolutionary marker of basic or minimal consciousness is a complex form of associative learning, which they term unlimited associative learning (UAL). UAL enables an organism to ascribe motivational value to a novel, compound, non-reflex-inducing stimulus or action, and use it as the basis for future learning. Associative learning, Ginsburg and Jablonka argue, drove the Cambrian explosion and its massive diversification of organisms. Finally, Ginsburg and Jablonka propose symbolic language as a similar type of marker for the evolutionary transition to human rationality—to Aristotle's “rational soul.”

Download or read book Truth and Experience written by Gaetano Chiurazzi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spirit of this book is explorative. It meets the contemporary challenge posed by experience and truth with a critical openness that allows for the full complexity of these concepts to be investigated.The distinction between experience and truth has become subject to finitude; how then can these words and concepts be defined? What might be understood by experience and truth, when the distinction between them is not transformed once and for all (eternally), but once and again (historically)?The contributors to the book investigate a wide range of questions revolving around this challenge to the contemporary understanding of experience and truth. They do so through the perspectives of phenomenology and hermeneutics, while also shedding new light on phenomenological and hermeneutic thought as such – on the distinction between phenomenology and hermeneutics, as well as on the interrelation between such philosophical thought and other fields of thought and culture.

Download or read book The Birth of Theory written by Andrew Cole and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern theory needs a history lesson. Neither Marx nor Nietzsche first gave us theory—Hegel did. To support this contention, Andrew Cole’s The Birth of Theory presents a refreshingly clear and lively account of the origins and legacy of Hegel’s dialectic as theory. Cole explains how Hegel boldly broke from modern philosophy when he adopted medieval dialectical habits of thought to fashion his own dialectic. While his contemporaries rejected premodern dialectic as outdated dogma, Hegel embraced both its emphasis on language as thought and its fascination with the categories of identity and difference, creating what we now recognize as theory, distinct from systematic philosophy. Not content merely to change philosophy, Hegel also used this dialectic to expose the persistent archaism of modern life itself, Cole shows, establishing a method of social analysis that has influenced everyone from Marx and the nineteenth-century Hegelians, to Nietzsche and Bakhtin, all the way to Deleuze and Jameson. By uncovering these theoretical filiations across time, The Birth of Theory will not only change the way we read Hegel, but also the way we think about the histories of theory. With chapters that powerfully reanimate the overly familiar topics of ideology, commodity fetishism, and political economy, along with a groundbreaking reinterpretation of Hegel’s famous master/slave dialectic, The Birth of Theory places the disciplines of philosophy, literature, and history in conversation with one another in an unprecedented way. Daring to reconcile the sworn enemies of Hegelianism and Deleuzianism, this timely book will revitalize dialectics for the twenty-first century.

Download or read book After Virtue written by Alasdair MacIntyre and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly controversial when it was first published in 1981, Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue has since established itself as a landmark work in contemporary moral philosophy. In this book, MacIntyre sought to address a crisis in moral language that he traced back to a European Enlightenment that had made the formulation of moral principles increasingly difficult. In the search for a way out of this impasse, MacIntyre returns to an earlier strand of ethical thinking, that of Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of 'virtue' to the ethical life. More than thirty years after its original publication, After Virtue remains a work that is impossible to ignore for anyone interested in our understanding of ethics and morality today.
Download or read book Towards a Phenomenology of Values written by D.J. Hobbs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a framework for phenomenological axiology. It offers a novel account of the existence and nature of values as they appear in conscious experience. By building on previous approaches, including those of Edmund Husserl, Max Scheler, and Nicolai Hartmann, the author develops a unique account of what values really are. After explicating and defending this account, he applies it to several of the most difficult questions in axiology: for example, how our experiences of value can differ from those of others without reducing values to subjective judgments or how the values we experience are connected to the volitional acts that they inspire. This provides satisfactory answers to certain fundamental questions concerning the basic structure of value-experiences. Accordingly, this book represents a novel step forward in phenomenological axiology. Towards a Phenomenology of Values will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in phenomenology and value theory.
