Hermeneutic Ontology in Gadamer and Woolf The Being of Art and the Art of Being

Hermeneutic Ontology in Gadamer and Woolf The Being of Art and the Art of Being

This volume analyses Virginia Woolf’s novels through a philosophical lens providing an interpretive overview of her works through Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic ontology. The text argues that interpretation itself is the central subject matter of Woolf’s novels: in order to understand these novels in all of their complexity and depth it is both useful and helpful to comprehend the interpretive pillars that inform these narratives. Indeed interpretation became a central theme during the Modernist movement and Woolf’s novels took part in this conversation. For his part Gadamer was in important voice in these discussions dedicating his life’s work to the concept of interpretation. Gadamer focused on the universality of interpretation arguing that it is inescapable and irrevocably bound up with existence. In many ways Woolf’s novels represent an enactment of Gadamer’s philosophy as they emphasize the radical questionability of the world—what this interpretive imperative requires of its participants and the potential yield that may result. On the other end Gadamer’s philosophy acquires a concrete praxis when applied to Woolf’s novels. His philosophy hinges on the universality of interpretation as it manifests itself in daily existence; the literary text and its interpretation participate in this universality and is shaped by it. | Hermeneutic Ontology in Gadamer and Woolf The Being of Art and the Art of Being

Language and Phenomenology

Language and Phenomenology

At first blush phenomenology seems to be concerned preeminently with questions of knowledge truth and perception and yet closer inspection reveals that the analyses of these phenomena remain bound up with language and that consequently phenomenology is inextricably a philosophy of language. Drawing on the insights of a variety of phenomenological authors including Husserl Heidegger Merleau-Ponty Gadamer and Ricoeur this collection of essays by leading scholars articulates the distinctively phenomenological contribution to language by examining two sets of questions. The first set of questions concerns the relatedness of language to experience. Studies exhibit the first-person character of the philosophy of language by focusing on lived experience the issue of reference and disclosive speech. The second set of questions concerns the relatedness of language to intersubjective experience. Studies exhibit the second-person character of the philosophy of language by focusing on language acquisition culture and conversation. This book will be of interest to scholars of phenomenology and philosophy of language. | Language and Phenomenology

Wallace Stevens and Pre-Socratic Philosophy Metaphysics and the Play of Violence

Wallace Stevens and Pre-Socratic Philosophy Metaphysics and the Play of Violence

This book studies Wallace Stevens and pre-Socratic philosophy showing how concepts that animate Stevens’ poetry parallel concepts and techniques found in the poetic works of Parmenides Empedocles and Xenophanes and in the fragments of Heraclitus. Tompsett traces the transition of pre-Socratic ideas into poetry and philosophy of the post-Kantian period assessing the impact that the mythologies associated with pre-Socratism have had on structures of metaphysical thought that are still found in poetry and philosophy today. This transition is treated as becoming increasingly important as poetic and philosophic forms have progressively taken on the existential burden of our post-theological age. Tompsett argues that Stevens’ poetry attempts to ‘play’ its audience into an ontological ground in an effort to show that his ‘reduction of metaphysics’ is not dry philosophical imposition but is enacted by our encounter with the poems themselves. Through an analysis of the language and form of Stevens’ poems Tompsett uncovers the mythology his poetry shares with certain pre-Socratics and with Greek tragedy. This shows how such mythic rhythms are apparent within the work of Friedrich Nietzsche Martin Heidegger and Hans-Georg Gadamer and how these rhythms release a poetic understanding of the violence of a ‘reduction of metaphysics. ’ | Wallace Stevens and Pre-Socratic Philosophy Metaphysics and the Play of Violence

The Infinity of the Unsaid Unformulated Experience Language and the Nonverbal

The Infinity of the Unsaid Unformulated Experience Language and the Nonverbal

The theory of unformulated experience is an interpersonal/relational conception of unconscious process. The idea is that unconscious content is not fully formed merely awaiting discovery but is instead better understood as potential experience—a vaguely organized primitive global non-ideational affective state. In the past the formulation of experience was most commonly understood as verbal articulation. That was the perspective Donnel B. Stern took in 1997 in his first book Unformulated Experience: From Dissociation to Imagination in Psychoanalysis. In this new book Stern recognizes that we need to theorize the formulation of nonverbal experience as well. Using new concepts of the acceptance and use of experience that feels like me Stern argues for a wider conception of meaningfulness. Some formulated experience is verbal (articulation) but other formulations are nonverbal (realization). Demonstrating how this can be so is at the heart of this book. Stern then goes on to house this entire set of ideas in the commodious conception of language offered by Charles Taylor Gadamer and Merleau-Ponty. The Infinity of the Unsaid offers an expansion of the theory of unformulated experience that has important implications for clinical thinking and practice; it will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists across all schools of thought. | The Infinity of the Unsaid Unformulated Experience Language and the Nonverbal

McDowell and the Hermeneutic Tradition

McDowell and the Hermeneutic Tradition

This volume explores the connections between John McDowell’s philosophy and the hermeneutic tradition. The contributions not only explore the hermeneutical aspects of McDowell’s thought but also ask how this reading of McDowell can inform the hermeneutical tradition itself. John McDowell has made important contributions to debates in epistemology metaethics and philosophy of language and his readings of Aristotle Kant Hegel and Wittgenstein have proved widely influential. While there are instances in which McDowell draws upon the work of hermeneutic thinkers the hermeneutic strand of McDowell’s philosophy has not yet been systematically explored in depth. The chapters in this volume open up a space in which to read McDowell himself as a hermeneutic thinker. They address several research questions: How can McDowell’s recourse to the hermeneutical tradition be understood in detail? Besides Gadamer does McDowell’s work implicitly convey and advance motives from other seminal figures of this tradition such as Heidegger and Dilthey? Are there aspects of McDowell’s position that can be enhanced through a juxtaposition with central hermeneutic concepts like World Tradition and Understanding? Are there further perhaps yet unexplored aspects of McDowell’s infl uences that ought to be interpreted as expressing hermeneutic ideas? McDowell and the Hermeneutic Tradition will appeal to researchers and advanced students working in American philosophy Continental philosophy hermeneutics history of philosophy philosophy of language and epistemology.

The Utopian Human Right to Science and Culture Toward the Philosophy of Excendence in the Postmodern Society

The Utopian Human Right to Science and Culture Toward the Philosophy of Excendence in the Postmodern Society

This book explores the question of whether the ideal right to science and culture exists. It proposes that the human right to science and culture is of a utopian character and argues for the necessity of the existence of such a right by developing a philosophical project situated in postmodernity based on the assumption of ’thinking in terms of excendence’. The book brings a novel and critical approach to human rights in general and to the human right to science and culture in particular. It offers a new way of thinking about access to knowledge in the postanalogue postmodern society. Inspired by twentieth-century critical theorists such as Levinas Gadamer Bauman and Habermas the book begins by using excendence as a way of thinking about the individual speech and text. It considers paradigms arising from postanalogue society revealing the neglected normative content of the human right to science and culture and proposes a morality dignity and solidarity situated in a postmodern context. Finally the book concludes by responding to questions on happiness dignity and that which is social. Including an Annex which presents the author’s private project related to thinking in the context of the journey from ’myth to reason’ this book is of interest to researchers in the fields of philosophy and the theory of law human rights intellectual property and social theory. | The Utopian Human Right to Science and Culture Toward the Philosophy of Excendence in the Postmodern Society

The Ethics of Interpretation From Charity as a Principle to Love as a Hermeneutic Imperative

The Ethics of Interpretation From Charity as a Principle to Love as a Hermeneutic Imperative

This book discusses the ethical dimension of the interpretation of texts and events. Its purpose is not to address the neutrality or ideological biases of interpreters but rather to discuss the underlying issue of the intervention of interpreters into the process of interpretation. The author calls this intervention the ethical aspect of interpretation and argues that interpreters are neither neutral nor necessarily activists. He examines three models of interpretation all of which recognize the role that interpreters play in the process of interpretation. In these models the question of the truth or validity of interpretation is dependent upon the attitude of interpreters. These three models are: (1) the principle of charity in interpretation in the two different versions defended by Hans-Georg Gadamer and Donald Davidson; (2) the production of truth as developed by Paul Ricoeur and Michel Foucault; and (3) the regulative principle in interpretation as formal validity claims—as presented by Karl-Otto Apel and Jürgen Habermas—and as benevolence or love as an epistemic virtue—as defended by Friedrich Schlegel and Friedrich Schleiermacher. The critical discussion of these three models which brings to the fore the different manners in which interpreters intervene in the process of interpretation as persons lays the foundations for an ethics of interpretation. The Ethics of Interpretation will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in hermeneutics 19th- and 20th-century philosophy literary theory and cultural theory. | The Ethics of Interpretation From Charity as a Principle to Love as a Hermeneutic Imperative

Fred Dallmayr Critical Phenomenology Cross-cultural Theory Cosmopolitanism

Fred Dallmayr Critical Phenomenology Cross-cultural Theory Cosmopolitanism

Fred Dallmayr’s work is innovative in its rethinking of some of the central concepts of modern political philosophy challenging the hegemony of a modern “subjectivity” at the heart of Western liberalism individualism and rationalism and articulating alternative voices claims and ideas. His writings productively confound the logocentrism of Western modernity while providing alternative conceptions of political community that are post-individualist post-anthropocentric and relational. The editor has focused on work in three key areas:Critical phenomenology and the study of politicsThe first selections focus on the philosophical roots of Dallmayr’s work in two of the most innovative intellectual trends of the twentieth century: phenomenology and critical theory. These chapters outline some of the main arguments advanced by practitioners of phenomenology particularly “existential phenomenology ” as well the guiding ideas of critical theory and critical Marxism while tracing Dallmayr’s debt to thinkers such as Heidegger Gadamer Habermas Adorno and Merleau-Ponty. Cross-cultural theoryThese readings illustrate Dallmayr’s explorations beyond the confines of Western culture as this phase of his thinking turns toward what is now called cross-cultural or “comparative” political theory. In an approach that maintains its linkage with critical phenomenology Dallmayr asserts that Western (or European-American) political theory can no longer claim undisputed hegemony; rather it must allow itself to be contested amplified and corrected through a comparison with non-Western theoretical traditions and initiatives. CosmopolitanismThese selections explore the final phase of Dallmayr’s work in which he applies his insights on cross-cultural studies to the context of global politics rebutting Samuel Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” thesis and instead arguing for a cosmopolitanism that takes a middle path between both global universalism and restrictive particularism advocating sustained dialogue and respectful mutual learning between countries and civilizations. | Fred Dallmayr Critical Phenomenology Cross-cultural Theory Cosmopolitanism

German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism

German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism

German architecture prior to the modern period has received less systemic analytical study than that of Italy France and Britain. Scholarly discussion of broad traditions or continuities within Germanic or Central European façade design is even sparser. Baroque era studies of the region mostly devote themselves to isolated architects monuments or movements. Modernism's advent decisively changed this: Germanic architecture enjoyed sudden ascendancy. Yet even so study specifically of that region's façades still lagged – nothing compares to the dozens of treatments of Le Corbusier's façade systems for example and how these juxtapose with French neoclassical or Italian Renaissance methods. Given the paucity of multi-period studies one can be forgiven for believing Germany's effervescence of radical modern works seems unprecedented. This book takes up these multiple quandaries. It identifies and documents a previously unrecognized compositional tradition - characterized here as the 'screen façade' – and posits it as a counter-narrative critiquing the essentialist 'authentic' canon currently dominant in Western architectural history. By crossing evenly over the dividing line between the historical and modern periods it offers valuable insights on indigenous roots underlying some aspects of Germany's invigorating early twentieth-century architectural developments. The book chronologically examines 400 years of closely related facades concentrated in Germany but also found in Austria the Czech Republic German-speaking Switzerland and nearby areas of Central Europe. While nearly 75 buildings are mentioned and illustrated a dozen are given extensive analysis and the book focuses on the works of three architects – Schinkel Behrens and Mies. Relationships between examples of these three architects' façades far transcend mere homage amongst masters. Glimmers of the system they eventually codify are apparent as early as at Heidelberg Castle in 1559 and Nürnberg's Rathaus in 1622. The book argues that in Germany northern Gothic affinities for bisection intense repetition and rote aggregation intersected with southern Classical affinities for symmetry hierarchy and centrality thereby spawning a unique hybrid product – the screen. Instead of graphic formality this study is guided by on-site perceptions propositional contrasts means of approach interpretive conflicts and emotion and it relates the design of these façades to concepts proposed by contemporary philosophers including Novalis Hegel Nietzsche Freud Adorno and most importantly Gadamer on hermeneutics. | German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism
