It is of Schopenhauer course in response to this perceived requirement that Fichte constructs a system of transcendental idealism which asserts that the self itself ­ conceived of as primordially an absolute self-reverting activity - should RICHARD FINCHAM be the absolute foundation of all philosophy. This article will show why it is that for Fichte, 'reflective consciousness', which for Kant was the ground of all explanation, becomes conceived of as itself requiring explanation. It will be argued Fichte's reconfiguration of Kantian transcendental idealism is motivated that this is due to an engagement with a sceptical attack upon the by an engagement with two specific 'commentaries' upon it.

  • Kierkegaard on Selfhood and Our Need for Others

    Kierkegaard on Selfhood and Our Need for Others

    Kierkegaard on Selfhood and Our Need for Others 1. Kierkegaard in a Secular Age Scholars have devoted much attention lately to Kierkegaard’s views on personal identity and, in particular, to his account of selfhood.1 Central to this account is the idea that a self is not something we automatically are. It is rather something we must become. Thus, selfhood is a goal to realize or a project to undertake.2 To put the point another way, while we may already be selves in some sense, we have to work to become real, true, or “authentic” selves.3 The idea that authentic selfhood is a project is not unique to Kierkegaard. It is common fare in modern philosophy. Yet Kierkegaard distances himself from popular ways of thinking about the matter. He denies the view inherited from Rousseau that we can discover our true selves by consulting our innermost feelings, beliefs, and desires. He also rejects the idea developed by the German Romantics that we can invent our true selves in a burst of artistic or poetic creativity. In fact, according to Kierkegaard, becom- ing an authentic self is not something we can do on our own. If we are to succeed at the project, we must look beyond ourselves for assistance. In particular, Kierkegaard thinks, we must rely on God. For God alone can provide us with the content of our real identi- ties.4 A longstanding concern about Kierkegaard arises at this point. His account of au- thentic selfhood, like his accounts of so many concepts, is religious.

Halpern [email protected] Computer Science Department Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/halpern Abstract The study of belief change has been an active area in philosophy and AI. In recent years two special cases of belief change, belief revision and belief update, have been studied in detail. In a companion paper (Friedman & Halpern, 1997), we introduce a new framework to model belief change. This framework combines temporal and epistemic modalities with a notion of plausibility, allowing us to examine the change of beliefs over time. In this paper, we show how belief revision and belief update can be captured in our framework. This allows us to compare the assumptions made by each method, and to better understand the principles underlying them. In particular, it shows that Katsuno and Mendelzon’s notion of belief update (Katsuno & Mendelzon, 1991a) depends on several strong assumptions that may limit its applicability in artificial intelligence. Finally, our analysis allow us to identify a notion of minimal change that underlies a broad range of belief change operations including revision and update. 1.

  • Whose Who? the Case for a Kantian Right of Publicity

    Whose Who? the Case for a Kantian Right of Publicity

    HAEMMERLI TO PRINTER 01/12/00 11:21 AM Duke Law Journal VOLUME 49 NOVEMBER 1999 NUMBER 2 WHOSE WHO? THE CASE FOR A KANTIAN RIGHT OF PUBLICITY ALICE HAEMMERLI† ABSTRACT Rapidly developing technological opportunities for unauthorized uses of identity—from “virtual kidnapping” to digitalcasting—coin- cide with growing demand for a preemptive federal right of publicity that can replace the existing welter of inconsistent state laws. Progress is impeded, however, by intractable doctrinal confusion and academic hostility to the right as allegedly inimical to society’s cultural need to manipulate celebrity images. Because the right of publicity is tradi- tionally based on Lockean labor theory and analogized to intellectual property in created works, it is vulnerable to such attacks; to date, no serious attempt has been made to elaborate an alternative philosophi- cal justification that can withstand them. In this Article, Dean Haemmerli uses Kantian philosophy to justify an autonomy-based right of publicity. In doing so, she challenges both the traditional approach to the right of publicity and its postmodernist critiques. First, the Article’s proposed reconception of the right of publicity rejects the existing doctrinal bifurcation of publicity and pri- vacy rights and explicitly embraces both the economic and moral fac- ets of the individual’s need to control the use of his identity.

And we also tend to suppose a fairly regular recurrence of scandal—the current instantiation infl amed by the recent publication of Heidegger’s private, philosophical, Tagebücher, invokes what the editor of these recently published ‘black notebooks’ attempts to distinguish as Heidegger’s ‘historial antisemitism’ — ‘historial’ here serving to identify Heidegger’s references to World Jewry in one of the volumes.

    ALASTAIR HANNAY AND GORDON D. MARINO Introduction Myths attach rather easily to some thinkers, especially to those who like Hegel are hard to read or like Kierkegaard hard to place. Such myths are often based on hearsay or a superficial reading of the texts. One lingering myth about Kierkegaard is that he is an irra- tionalist in some sense that denies the value of clear and honest thinking. Kierkegaard did deny the ability of reasoned thought to ar- rive at universal and objective truth on matters of value, but today that is considered quite rational. This collection of previously un- published essays is offered as proof of how wrong it is to suppose that if Kierkegaard's philosophical star is in the ascendant, as it now is, things must be going badly with philosophy. Besides this general myth, though owing as much to them as they to it, are the particular myths - of Kierkegaard's uncontrolled pre- dilection for paradox, a delight in exaggeration, and his writer's weakness for rhetoric over perspicuity - myths that have led in their turn to superficial renditions of the ideas and to failures to de- tect consistency or development in his multiauthored production. More than with any other recent thinker, and for good or ill, the re- ception of Kierkegaard's work has carried the subjective stamp of the receiver's own preferences. So much so that one might well ask if Kierkegaard has not so much enjoyed as "suffered" his several renaissances. Emanuel Hirsch, whose influential German translations reflect personal political leanings, tried to weave Kierkegaard into the tan- gled web of an existence theology adapted to National Socialism.
