Einleitung 1.1 Franz Brentanos Stellung in der Philosophiegeschichte Die Beurteilungder Stellung Franz Brentanos in der Philosophiegeschichts- schreibungist schwankend. Kaum zu überschätzenist die Bedeutung Brentanos und seiner Philosophie naturgemäßinden Augen seiner orthodoxenSchüler.So schreibt OskarKraus, einer der glühendsten Anhänger,imVorwort zu dem von ihm 1924 neu herausgegebenen Hauptwerk Brentanos,der Psychologie vom em- pirischen Standpunkt: Die zunehmende Beachtung, die Brentanos Schriften aufsich ziehen, hat ihren Grund aber nicht etwa nur in ihrer historischen Bedeutung; es ist vielmehr ihr innerer Wert,der sie in dem wissenschaftlichen Daseinskampfe den Sieg über Lehrmeinungendavon tragen läßt, vondenen sie vorlängst als ,überwunden‘ und ,veraltet‘ ausgegeben worden sind.¹ Das gegenteilige Extrem stelltetwa Herbert Schnädelbachs Geschichte der Philo- sophie in Deutschland von 1831bis 1933 dar,inder Brentanos Name erst garnicht auftaucht.² Ein differenzierteres Urteil findet sich dagegen beiWolfgangSteg- müller. In seinen weitverbreiteten Hauptströmungen der Gegenwartsphilosophie schreibt er über Brentano: Die Bedeutungder Brentanoschen Untersuchungenfür die Philosophie der Gegenwart wird immer noch außerordentlich unterschätzt; es besteht ein merkwürdigesMißverhältnis zwi- schen der großen tatsächlichenAuswirkung Brentanos aufdie heutige Philosophie und der verhältnismäßiggeringenBeachtung, die seine Theorien im gegenwärtigenLehr- und For- schungsbetrieb finden. Und doch laufen bei Brentano die Fäden zusammen,die zu den verschiedenartigsten Richtungenführen[…]³. Erst unlängst haben Mauro Antonelli und WernerSauer diese Einschätzungbe- stätigt: „Für[Brentanos] Philosophie gilt immer noch, wenngleich nicht mehr in demselben Ausmaß, WolfgangStegmüllers vor60Jahren getroffene Feststellung, Kraus 1924,XII. Brentanos Psychologie wirdinder Folgeals PeS zitiert. Vgl. Schnädelbach 1983/2008. Es ließen sich noch einigeweitere Philosophiegeschichten an- führen, die diese „Unsichtbarkeit“ Brentanos belegen. Stegmüller1978, 1. Die wichtige Position, die Stegmüller Brentano zuweist,zeigt sich auch darin, dass er das Brentano-Kapitel ganzanden Anfangseiner Darstellung der Gegenwartsphi- losophie stellt. Als Schüler vonFranziskaMayer-Hillebrand könnte man Stegmüller selbst zur viertenGeneration der Brentano-Schule zählen. Zu Mayer-Hillebrand siehe untenausführlich 267–280. https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110595925-002 2 1. Einleitung nicht die ihr gebührende Achtung zu finden.“⁴ Diese Relativierung „wenngleich nicht mehr in demselbenAusmaß“ ließe sich vielleicht aufdie Tatsache beziehen, dass die Brentano-Forschung zwar nicht jeneAusmaße angenommen hat wie etwa die Husserl- oder Wittgenstein-Industrien, dass sie aber durchaus als le- bendig zu bezeichnen ist⁵ – was zu einem kleineren Teil damit zusammenhängen mag,dass sich 2017 Brentanos Todestag zum hundertsten Male gejährt hat⁶. 1.2 DasProblem der mangelnden Zugänglichkeit von Brentanos Werk Diese schwankende Einschätzungvon Brentanos philosophiegeschichtlicher Relevanz hängt nicht zuletzt damit zusammen, dass der Rezeptionseines Werkes ein ganz spezifisches Hindernis entgegensteht,nämlich dessenbeschränkte Zu- gänglichkeit in seiner authentischen Form. Wiehinlänglich bekannt sein dürfte, hat Brentano selbst vergleichsweisewenig publiziert,wenngleich auch dieses Wenigevon großem Einfluss war.Neben den Schriften zu Aristoteles⁷ wären hier vorallem die Psychologie vom empirischen Standpunkte (1874)und VomUrsprung Antonelli/Sauer 2014,XII. Eine Variante, die die Bewertungvon Kraus und Stegmüller ver- bindet,findet sich bei Dale Jacquette: „Brentano is among the most importantyet under-appre- ciated philosophers of the latenineteenth and earlytwentieth centuries“.(Jacquette (2004b), 1. Und, ganz aktuell, Uriah Kriegel: „Brentano’sthoughtishistoricallyrich and yetbears striking relevance to manycurrent daydebates – and the ambit of his influence,sometimes overt but often subterranean, is striking.“ Kriegel 2017,1. Für die Zeitspanne seit dem Jahrtausendwechsel wären hier etwa die ausschließlich Brentano gewidmeten SammelbändeJacquette2004a, Tanasescu 2012 und Fisette/Fréchette2013 sowie die Monographien vonAntonelli 2001,Chrudzimski 2004/2012,Albertazzi 2006 und Tassone 2012 zu nennen. Die Aufsätze zu Brentano sind natürlich zu zahlreich, um hier angeführt zu werden. Nicht zu vergessen sind natürlichdie vonWilhelm Baumgartner und Guillaume Fréchette herausge- gebenen Brentano-Studien,derenXV. Band 2018 erschienenist. Pünktlich zum Jubiläum gabz.B.Uriah Kriegel bei Routledge ein Brentano-Handbook heraus, das mit annähernd vierzigBeiträgen fast alle Bereiche vonBrentanos Denken abdeckt (vgl. Kriegl 2017). Sowohl Die mannigfache Bedeutung des Seienden nach Aristoteles,Brentanos Dissertation von 1862, als auch Die Psychologie des Aristoteles,insbesondere seine Lehre vom Nous Poietikos,seine 1867publizierteHabilitationsschrift,sind bedeutende, auch heutenoch anerkannte Beiträgezur Aristoteles-Forschung; umstrittener sind hingegenseine beiden Aristoteles-Publikationen von 1911, Aristoteles und seine Weltanschauung und Aristoteles Lehre vom Ursprung des menschlichen Geistes. Erst kürzlich hat sich Janina Drucksineiner Monographie ausführlich mit Brentanos Interpretation der aristotelischen Seelenlehrebefasst (vgl. Drucks 2016). 1.2 DasProblem der mangelnden Zugänglichkeit von BrentanosWerk 3 sittlicher Erkenntnis (1889)⁸ zu nennen, die beide zu Klassikern der philosophi- schen Literatur avanciert sind. Nach dem Erscheinenseiner PeS hat Brentano zwei Jahrzehnte hindurch seine philosophischen Überlegungen mit Ausnahme einiger veröffentlichter Vorträgenur noch in seinen Vorlesungen publik gemacht; nach seinem Abgang vonder Universität Wien 1894 veröffentlichteerzwar noch einige kleinere Arbeiten zur Sinnespsychologie und vorallem zu Aristoteles,⁹ darüber hinaus beschränkte er sich aber aufdie mündliche und briefliche Mitteilung seiner sich immer wieder wandelnden Ansichten an einen kleinenauserwählten Kreis vonAnhängern und Schülern.

  • The Alleged Activity of Active Intellect: a Wild Goose Chase Or a Puzzle to Be Solved?1
    The alleged activity of active intellect: A wild goose chase or a puzzle to be solved?1 Sonia Kamińska Summary Trying to describe the activity of Aristotle’s active intellect, we will sooner or later realize that we cannot find its right description, because Aristotle did not provide for one. He left us with many ir- reconcilable statements and questions with no answers. In the fa- | LIV • 2014 w Nauce Zagadnienia Filozoficzne mous text Aristotle’s Two Intellects: a Modest Proposal Victor Cas- ton claims that Aristotle did not describe the activity, because there simply is no such activity and we should therefore identify nous poietikos with God, because God too does nothing. Trying to find this lacking description is like going on a wild goose chase – Caston argues. In my text I will show that his solution, albeit tempting, is in fact a kind of “dissolution” and that a wild goose chase, although for many doomed to failure, can be fruitful. I will do so by present- ing three groups or clusters of views on active intellect which – I believe – are philosophically significant. Caston’s proposal will be 1 �����������������������������������������������������������������This publication was supported by Copernicus Center for Interdis- ciplinary Studies under grant "The Limits of Scientific Explanation" founded by the John Templeton Foundation. 79 Sonia Kamińska one of them, but not the privileged one. These three types of inter- pretations will hopefully provide us with an imagery that will help us somewhat come to terms with Aristotle’s succinctness.

  • Marx and Mendacity: Can There Be a Politics Without Hypocrisy?
    Analyse & Kritik 01+02/2015 (© Lucius & Lucius, Stuttgart) S. 521 Martin Jay Marx and Mendacity: Can There Be a Politics without Hypocrisy? Abstract: As demonstrated by Marx's erce defence of his integrity when anonymously accused of lying in l872, he was a principled believer in both personal honesty and the value of truth in politics. Whether understood as enabling an accurate, `scientic' depiction of the contradictions of the present society or a normative image of a truly just society to come, truth-telling was privileged by Marx over hypocrisy as a political virtue. Contemporary Marxists like Alain Badiou continue this tradition, arguing that revolutionary politics should be understood as a `truth procedure'. Drawing on the alternative position of political theorists such as Hannah Arendt, who distrusted the monologic and absolutist implications of a strong notion of truth in politics, this paper defends the role that hypocrisy and mendacity, understood in terms of lots of little lies rather than one big one, can play in a pluralist politics, in which, pace Marx, rhetoric, opinion and the clash of values resist being subsumed under a singular notion of the truth. 1. Introduction In l872, an anonymous attack was launched in the Berlin Concordia: Zeitschrift für die Arbeiterfrage against Karl Marx for having allegedly falsied a quotation from an 1863 parliamentary speech by the British Liberal politician, and future Prime Minister, William Gladstone in his own Inaugural Address to the First International in l864. The polemic was written, so it was later disclosed, by the eminent liberal political economist Lujo Brentano.1 Marx vigorously defended himself in a response published later that year in Der Volksstaat, launching a bitter debate that would drag on for two decades, involving Marx's daughter Eleanor, an obscure Cambridge don named Sedly Taylor, and even Gladstone himself, who backed Brentano's version.

Yocum This dissertation considers a spectrum of five distinct approaches that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomist Catholic thinkers utilized when engaging with the tradition of modern scientific psychology: a critical approach, a reformulation approach, a synthetic approach, a particular [Jungian] approach, and a personalist approach. This work argues that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomists were essentially united in their concerns about the metaphysical principles of many modern psychologists as well as in their worries that these same modern psychologists had a tendency to overlook the transcendent dimension of human existence. This work shows that the first four neo-Thomist thinkers failed to bring the traditions of neo-Thomism and modern psychology together to the extent that they suggested purely theoretical ways of reconciling them.

  • The Interjurisdictional Migration of European Authors of Liberty, 1660 – 1961: a Quantitative Analysis1
    1 January 12, 2016 THE INTERJURISDICTIONAL MIGRATION OF EUROPEAN AUTHORS OF LIBERTY, 1660 – 1961: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS1 Niklas Potrafke2 Roland Vaubel3 Abstract Hume, Montesquieu and Kant were the first to suggest that the rise of liberty in Europe and the West has been due to political fragmentation and competition among rulers because the creative elites had the option of leaving the country in response to political repression. In this paper we estimate the extent to which emigrating authors of liberty actually reacted to such political and economic factors. We distinguish four types of repressive political events: restoration of an authoritarian monarchy, suppression of liberal protests, takeover by a totalitarian regime and occupation by a foreign repressive power. We test for additional explanations of emigration. Our sample of well-known authors of liberty includes 401 persons from twenty European countries in 1660 to 1961. Our logistic regressions yield the following main results. The repressive events did have significant and large effects on emigration with lags of up to five years. Emigration was also influenced by the author’s occupation and interjurisdictional income differentials. The probability of emigration was larger if the author was of middle age and lived in a small country but these effects were numerically small. The decision to emigrate was not affected by the author’s education.

  • INTENTIONALITY in MEDIEVAL ARABIC PHILOSOPHY Deborah L
    INTENTIONALITY IN MEDIEVAL ARABIC PHILOSOPHY Deborah L. Black, University of Toronto I. INTRODUCTION: THE ARABIC ORIGINS OF INTENTIONALITY It has long been a truism of the history of philosophy that intentionality is an invention of the medieval period. In light of the explicit homage that Brentano pays to the scholastic tradition in his revival of intentionality in the 19th century, this is, of course, hardly surprising.1 Within this standard narrative, the central place of Arabic philosophy has always been acknowledged, at least to the extent of noting that the Latin term intentio purports to be a translation of the Arabic term maʿnā.2 Still, the details of the Arabic contribution to the theory of intentionality remain obscure, even amongst specialists of Islamic philosophy. Part of this obscurity stems from the intrinsic difficulty of the Arabic material itself: the origins of Arabic accounts of intentionality are murky, and there is no 1 FRANZ BRENTANO, Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint, A. C. RANCURELLO, D. B. TERRELL, AND L. L. MCALISTER (trans.), Routledge and Kegan Paul, London 1973 (translation of Psychologie vom empirischen Standpunkt, 1874), pp. 88-89. There have, of course, been a number of attempts by historians of ancient philosophy to find theories of intentionality latent in ancient philosophy. See in particular the following articles by VICTOR CASTON: Aristotle and the Problem of Intentionality, «Philosophy and Phenomenological Research», 58 (1998), pp. 249–98; Something and Nothing: The Stoics on Concepts and Universals, «Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy», 17 (1999), pp. 145–213; Connecting Traditions: Augustine and the Greeks on Intentionality, in DOMINIK PERLER, (ed.), Ancient and Medieval Theories of Intentionality, Brill, Leiden 2001 («Studien und Texte zur Geistesgeschichte des Mittelalters», 76), pp.

  • Janoušek and Rollinger, the Prague School, Cleaned Up
    The Prague School Hynek Janoušek and Robin Rollinger The name the “Prague school of Brentano” refers to three generations of thinkers who temporarily or permanently lived in Prague, bound together by teacher/student relationships, and who accepted the main views of Franz Brentano’s philosophy. In 1879 Carl Stumpf (see CHAP. 31) arrived in Prague to take up a professorship of philosophy at the Charles-Ferdinand University. In 1880 Stumpf’s close friend and also a student of Brentano, Anton Marty (see CHAP. 30), became a professor in the same department. This marks the beginning of the Prague School. The presence of Stumpf and Marty was in fact a dramatic shift in orientation first and foremost in the domain of psychology, for Prague had previously been an enclave of Herbartian psychology, which Brentano had criticized in various respects throughout his Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint (Brentano 1874). In a certain sense their presence even harked back to an earlier time in Prague when Bernard Bolzano was developing a theory of science very much in opposition to the Kantianism of his time. Though Brentano’s philosophy was very different from Bolzano’s in many respects, it was no less anti-Kantian. This was very important at that time, for neo-Kantianism was on the rise in the German-speaking world and even beyond, whereas Stumpf and Marty made efforts to combat this kind of philosophy. Though Stumpf’s sojourn in Prague was considerably shorter-lived than Marty’s, Stumpf published the first volume of his Tone Psychology (Stumpf 1883) during that time.

  • The Divinity of Human Beings According to Aristotle
    Studia Religiologica 45 (3) 2012, s. 173–182 doi: 10.4467/20844077SR.12.014.0967 What can grow from the divine seed? Th e divinity of human beings according to Aristotle Sonia Kamińska Instytut Filozofi i Uniwersytet Jagielloński Abstract This text aims to show that the core of human divinity according to Aristotle is exercising the divine mind for its own sake. Being happy and thus divine is auto-teleological, and must not be reduced to any sort of instrumental value. This reading of Aristotle excludes the theist interpretations of Prime Mover as well as the attempts at identifying the human mind with God, mainly because both these (different) interpretations seem to make auto-teleological bios theoretikos impossible. The fi rst do this by introducing the divine provision which makes people act for God’s sake and not for their own sake. The others reduce the special status of humans by taking away the divine part, in my opinion being the sine qua non condition of the concept of human divinity. All the interpretations of human divinity which I have presented above can be useful nowadays in the ethical, (bio)ethical, social or even political discourse. This shows that the history of philosophy is not only about the past, but also about the future.
