In this remains the great, perhaps the eternal paradox: philosophy, ever and always and with the claim of truth, must proceed interpretively without ever possessing a key to interpretation: nothing more is given to it than fleeting, disappearing traces within the ciphers [Ratselfiguren¨ ] of what is and their wondrous entwinings. The history of philosophy is nothing other than the history of such entwinings. That is why it reaches so few ‘results’, why it must always begin anew, and why it cannot do without the slightest thread which earlier times have spun, and which perhaps completes the literature that might transform the ciphers into a text.¹ I. BACKGROUND 1. An Old Dichotomy on History The steady growth of interest in historical development, and in the historical dimension of philosophy in particular, is a phenomenon that calls for explana- tion. Even more than the exact sciences, philosophy has generally striven to be a discipline that escapes the contingencies of time, or at least the limitations of particular historical frameworks and empirical disciplines. This is true not only of ancient and medieval philosophy but also of the modern philosophical systems that came with the rise of the ‘new physics’ in the era of Galileo, Descartes, and Newton. Very much the same kind of commitment to ahistorical procedures and indubitable first truths can be found at the beginning of each of the main phases of modern philosophy: in the programs of the rationalists and empiricists, of the ¹ Theodor Adorno, Gesammelte Schriften, ed. Rolf Tiedemann (Frankfurt: Suhrkamp, 1970), i. 334.

  • Preprint Système En Prétendant Que Le Terme Innovation N’Était Pas Le Terme Approprié Pour Le Qualifier
    Symphilosophie International Journal of Philosophical Romanticism The Very Idea of Innovation From Descartes to Post-Kantianism Karl Ameriks* ABSTRACT Right at the outset of modern philosophy, Descartes surprisingly tried to blunt opposition to his new system by contending that it was not best described as an innovation. Nonetheless, the Scientific Revolution brought about an unparalleled shift in philosophy when the classical early moderns modeled their work largely on the systematic style of the new exact sciences. I discuss how and why the limitations in this approach led to another sea change in philosophical style, with the historically oriented innovations in philosophical writing advanced by the German Idealists and then the Early Romantics. The approaches of these movements are compared and contrasted with respect to how well they do justice to philosophy’s genuine need, after the rise of modern science, to be presented in a distinctive and appropriately innovative manner. Keywords: innovation, Scientific Revolution, Early Romantics, Historical Turn, Late Modernity RÉSUMÉ Dès l’orée de la philosophie moderne, Descartes a tenté de manière surprenante de désamorcer l’opposition à son nouveauPreprint système en prétendant que le terme innovation n’était pas le terme approprié pour le qualifier. Néanmoins, la révolution scientifique a entraîné un changement sans précédent en philosophie, le travail des penseurs de la modernité classique ayant été largement modelé à partir de là sur le style systématique des nouvelles sciences exactes. J’examine ici comment et pourquoi les insuffisances de cette approche ont conduit à un autre changement majeur du style philosophique, à travers les innovations historiques s’opérant dans l’écriture philosophique promue par les idéalistes puis les premiers romantiques allemands.

  • Hegel's Philosophy of Reality, Freedom, And
    Cambridge University Press 0521844843 - Hegel’s Philosophy of Reality, Freedom, and God Robert M. Wallace Frontmatter More information HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF REALITY, FREEDOM, AND GOD In this book, Robert Wallace shows that the repeated pronouncements of the death of Hegel’s philosophical system have been premature. Wallace brings to light unique arguments in Hegel for the reality of freedom, of God, and of knowledge – each of them understood as intimately con- nected to nature, but not as reducible to it – and for the irrationality of egoism. And Wallace systematically answers many of the major criticisms that have been leveled at Hegel’s system, from Feuerbach, Kierkegaard, and Marx through Heidegger and Charles Taylor. The book provides detailed interpretations of the major works of Hegel’s mature system – his entire Philosophy of Spirit, most of his in- dispensable Science of Logic, and key parts of his Philosophy of Nature and Philosophy of Right. With the exception of Chapters 4 and 5, which will particularly interest advanced students, Hegel’s Philosophy of Reality, Freedom, and God is written for students of philosophy at all levels. Wallace explains Hegel’s terminol- ogy thoroughly, analyzes many important passages from Hegel’s works in detail, and outlines alternative approaches (Plato’s, Hume’s, and Kant’s, among others), so that the distinctiveness of Hegel’s solutions becomes apparent. Robert M. Wallace is a writer and scholar who has taught at Colgate Uni- versity, University of Pennsylvania, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Goddard College. He has translated and written introductions to Hans Blumenberg’s The Legitimacy of the Modern Age, Work on Myth, and The Genesis of the Copernican World and has published papers on Blumenberg and on Hegel.

Cultivating nimbleness is to willfully gather together one’s self in the wake of a formative force far richer than the derivative web of living power relationships of human embeddness within a horizon of social, economical, political and historical subjectivating power relations. 2. For an ethical society it is necessary to provide elective spaces. The term, elective space, conveys the type of area, space, structure, building, or venue, that an individual has no requirement to consume, conduct labor within or reside, i.e., it is not a place where one must go, it is a non-market-led place one may choose to go.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 f Abstract In the literature of International Relations the notion of coexistence is not understood as a question for world politics, despite the frequent irruption of issues of coexistence that constantly preoccupy international praxis. Rather, in theoretic terms coexistence is considered self-evidently as the composition of units, identified with co-presence in some spatial sense. This is evident, not from the explicit theorisation of coexistence as such, but from the ontological commitments of the discipline. The enquiry points toward the ontological centrality of the modem subject, whose key attributes are reason, self-mastery and control over others and itself, and which determines coexistence through ‘a logic of composition.’ The logic of composition reduces the multifarious relations of self and other to mere co-presence of already constituted subjects, that is, it occludes the constitutive role of the other in coexistence and for the ‘subject’ itself.

This volume, which complements The Cambridge Compan- ion to Kant, covers every aspect of Kant’s philosophy, with an expanded focus on his moral and political philosophy. It also provides detailed coverage of Kant’s historical context and of the enormous impact and influence that his work has had on the subsequent history of philosophy. The bibli- ography provides extensive and organized coverage of both classical and recent books on Kant in the main languages of Kant scholarship. This volume thus provides the broadest and deepest introduction to Kant and his place in modern philosophy currently available. It makes the philosophical enterprise of Kant accessible to those coming to his work for the first time. Paul Guyer is Florence R. C. Murray Professor in the Human- ities at the University of Pennsylvania. The editor and trans- lator of three volumes in the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Immanuel Kant,heisthe author of more than 150 articles and six books.

Foster The Naturphilosophie of Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling (1775-1854) has been neglected in the Anglophone world for over 200 years, but his detractors are wrong in insisting that his system represented a disguised mysticism and a rejection of empirical science. Although Schelling studied theology at the famous Tubingen seminary, he dedicated his life to philosophy by 1794, eventually turning to an intensive study of the natural sciences.
