GWF Hegel: Key Concepts G. W. F. Hegel The thought of G. W. F. Hegel (1770–1831) has had a deep and lasting influence on a wide range of philosophical, political, religious, aes- thetic, cultural and scientific movements. But despite the far-reaching importance of Hegel’s thought, there is often a great deal of confusion about what he actually said or believed. G. W. F. Hegel: Key Concepts provides an accessible introduction to both Hegel’s thought and Hegel-inspired philosophy in general, demonstrating how his concepts were understood, adopted and critically transformed by later thinkers. The first section of the book covers the principal philosophical themes in Hegel’s system: epistemology, meta- physics, philosophy of mind, ethical theory, political philosophy, phi- losophy of nature, philosophy of art, philosophy of religion, philosophy of history and theory of the history of philosophy. The second section covers the main post-Hegelian movements in philosophy: Marxism, existentialism, pragmatism, analytic philosophy, hermeneutics and French post-structuralism. The breadth and depth of G. W. F. Hegel: Key Concepts makes it an invaluable introduction for philosophical beginners and a useful reference source for more advanced scholars and researchers.

  • Pride and Sexual Friendship: the Battle of the Sexes in Nietzsche's Post-Democratic World
    PRIDE AND SEXUAL FRIENDSHIP: THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES IN NIETZSCHE’S POST-DEMOCRATIC WORLD Lisa Fleck Uhlir Yancy, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2008 APPROVED: Steven Forde, Major Professor Ken Godwin, Committee Member Richard Ruderman, Committee Member Milan Reban, Committee Member James Meernik, Chair of the Department of Political Science Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Yancy, Lisa Fleck Uhlir, Pride and sexual friendship: The battle of the sexes in Nietzsche’s post-democratic world. Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science), August 2008, 191 pp., bibliography of 227 titles. This dissertation addresses an ignored [partly for its controversial nature] aspect of Nietzschean philosophy: that of the role of modern woman in the creation of a future horizon. Details of the effects of the Enlightenment, Christianity and democracy upon society are discussed, as well as effects on the individual, particularly woman. After this forward look at the changes anticipated by Nietzsche, the traditional roles of woman as the eternal feminine, wife and mother are debated. An argument for the necessity of a continuation of the battle of the sexes, and the struggle among men and women in a context of sexual love and friendship is given. This mutual affirmation must occur through the motivation of pride and not vanity. In conclusion, I argue that one possible avenue for change is a Nietzschean call for a modern revaluation of values by noble woman in conjugation with her warrior scholar to bring about the elevation of mankind.

  • Spaces Between Beginning and End.Indd
    Spaces between Beginning and End: Thoughts on Peter Voigt’s Film Essay Dusk: 1950s East Berlin Bohemia BY CLAUS LÖSER Oh, joyful time of beginnings! The page white and the pencil sketches the overall plan! First line in nothingness, boldly rising through the void into everything! Excavate the ground and depth: the building will be tall. Seeing what has never been seen! Testing the new! —Bertolt Brecht, “Ach, wie doch einst ich sie sah!“1 When Peter Voigt’s documentary Dämmerung – Ostberliner Bohème der 50er Jahre (Dusk: 1950s East Berlin Bohemia) celebrated its premiere in the Grüne Salon of Berlin’s Volksbühne, only those in the know and especially interested • A 2018 DVD Release by the DEFA Film Library • A 2018 DVD Release by the DEFA viewers came to the screening. There were very few reviews. A regular theatrical release did not occur afterwards. In a certain sense, the film arrived both too early and too late. Five years earlier, it would have been a sensation. At the time of its premiere, however, the systematic—and still continuing—examination of phenomena of GDR cultural history had not yet begun. Besides, in the early 1990s, many potentially interested viewers were preoccupied with the reorganization of their daily lives that accompanied the fundamental paradigm change of 1989-90. In view of an uncertain future, affected contemporaries had no relevant interest in tracing the peculiarities of a 1950s East Berlin Bohemia, as Voigt’s title promised. The film did not fit the political mainstream either. Because, back then, the history of the GDR was, “above all, interpreted Dusk: 1950s East Berlin Bohemia in light of its inglorious end,” as film historian Ralf Schenk noted in relation to this film, in particular.2 Public discourse focused primarily on clear victim-perpetrator scenarios; perspectives that dealt with differentiated formations located between opportunism and resistance during the SED dictatorship were not in demand.

  • Philosophy in Berlin: University Reforms from Kant to the Bologna Process
    BERLIN PERSPECTIVES Philosophy in Berlin: University Reforms from Kant to the Bologna Process Semester: Summer semester 2020 Course instructor: Benjamin Wilck, [email protected] Subject area: History and Literature Credits: 5 ECTS Time: Wednesdays 16-18 c.t. (16.15–17:45) Room: 0323-26, 3rd floor, Hausvogteiplatz 5–7 Course description: The course explores the origins and objectives of philosophy in the Prussian Berlin of the 19th century, and also provides a critical perspective on its subsequent history in the 20th century until today. Humboldt University Berlin was founded in 1809/10 under the name “Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität” as a result of revolutionist treatises on university reforms by philosophers in Berlin such as Fichte, Hegel, von Humboldt, and Schleiermacher. In particular, Wilhelm von Humboldt had the idea to create a new kind of university, in which teaching and research form a unity, in which science is independent of political and economic interests, and in which students receive a universal education. Consequently, Humboldt University Berlin became the worldwide paradigm of a new era of university and science. In reading texts written by Berlin-based philosophers before, during, and after the establishment of the Humboldt University, we will trace how ideas relating to the structure and purpose of the university and academic teaching and scientific research changed and were implemented in the course of the last two centuries. (Reading materials will be made available electronically in both the original German as well as in English translation. Seminar discussion will be in English, but German contributions are welcome.) Learning objectives: The objective of this Bachelor-level course is to equip students with an overview of the philosophical activity in Berlin in the 19th century and, in particular, with an in-depth understanding of the philosophical circumstances which led to the establishment of Humboldt University.

    Penultimate version - A Phenomenological Grounding of Feminist Ethics1 Citation: Please cite the Journal version which has the correct pages etc,. Society of the British Journal for Phenomenology (accepted 11th April 2018, in press) A Phenomenological Grounding for Feminist Ethics, DOI: 10.1080/00071773.2018.1487195 https://doi.org/10.1080/00071773.2018.1487195 Anya Daly Irish Research Council Fellow, School of Philosophy, University College Dublin, Ireland; Honorary Fellow, School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, University of Melbourne, Australia. Abstract: The central hypothesis of this paper is that the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty offers significant philosophical groundwork for an ethics that honours key feminist commitments – embodiment, situatedness, diversity and the intrinsic sociality of subjectivity. Part 1 evaluates feminist criticisms of Merleau-Ponty. Part 2 defends the claim that Merleau-Ponty’s non-dualist ontology underwrites leading approaches in feminist ethics, notably Care Ethics and the Ethics of Vulnerability. Part 3 examines Merleau-Ponty’s analyses of embodied percipience, arguing that these offer a powerful critique of the view from nowhere, a totalizing God’s-eye-view with pretensions to objectivity. By revealing the normative structure of perceptual gestalts in the intersubjective domain, he establishes the view from everywhere. Normativity is no longer deferred to higher authorities such as duty, utility or the valorised virtue, but through the perceptual gestalt it is returned to the perceiving embodied

Copyright : 2010, Monash University Publishing A COMPANION TO PHILOSOPHY IN AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND I 455 Poststructuralism Poststructuralism Jack Reynolds While it is difficult to precisely define poststructuralism, we can begin ostensively by noting some of the philosophers who are most consistently and famously associated with the term. This includes Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Franc,:ois Lyotard. As such, poststructuralism refers primarily to those philosophers working in France who contested and problematised the reigning orthodoxy in the humanities and social sciences in the early 1960s, which at that time was structuralism. Before positively considering their work and the way in which their overlapping but not univocal interests came to form what we today refer to as poststructuralism, it is important to consider their immediate predecessor on the French scene, structuralism. Structuralism was both a methodological mode of analysis as well as a more thoroughgoing metaphysical and ontological position, and it was widespread in the 1950s and '60s, whether it be Roland Barthes employing structuralist techniques in literary theory, Claude Levi-Strauss in anthropology, Jacques Lacan in psychoanalysis, or Louis Althusser in relation to Marxism and class analysis. The linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure was also garnering renewed attention. Structuralism sought to arrive at a stable and secure knowledge of a system or a structure, by charting differences within that structure, and it sought to do so without any references to subjectivity and consciousness.

I am already speechless.1 In Being and Time, Heidegger engages in a radical critique of Western metaphysics, and more specifically, of the metaphysical subject in its Cartesian form.2In this "destruction" of the tradition, part of Heidegger's project is to demonstrate that the conception of the subject elaborated by metaphysics not only severs the subject from the world but also constitutes a disavowal of Dasein's relationality and dependence on the other. For Heidegger, Dasein is here [being-there], it is being-in-the-world in terms of fallenness and thrownness; it is characterized by motion and projection, anticipation and ek-staticity; it is ontologically being-with others and endowed with the possibility of care.

  • Embodiment Sensuous Promptings of the Body, and to Mould Or Form Material Circumstances Against Their Claim to Be the Source for Action
    In Corporeal Generosity Rosalyn Diprose pursues a novel approach to one of the central topics in contemporary scholarly and practical ethical debates: how to conceive and promote ethical relations responsive to the differences of others. The ghost behind this problem is the Kantian ALISON ROSS conception of ethics. The noumenal, moral capacity of the Kantian subject is, famously, a the ethics of formal idea of reason. Through it the subject houses a double potential: to act against the embodiment sensuous promptings of the body, and to mould or form material circumstances against their claim to be the source for action. In Diprose’s ROSALYN DIPROSE book, testing the assumptions of this model of Corporeal Generosity: On Giving with ethics takes her directly to broader social and Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas political problems. The strength of this work is SUNY Press, Albany, New York, 2002 not, I think, just the philosophically sensitive ISBN 0-79145-322-7 way it considers these problems but its am- RRP US$20.95 (pb) bitious redefinition of works by thinkers, such as Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty and Levinas, who depart from the tradition that contains ‘ethics’ in a model driven by the need to conquer the body and its affects.1 In resetting contemporary treatments of the theme of ethics in the vocabulary of ‘generos- ity’, Diprose asks us to reconsider this term out- side the anthropological model of gift exchange or the contractual model of property, primarily because she conceives of the ethical force of ‘generosity’ as ‘corporeal’. The notion of ‘cor- poreal generosity’ is present in the three sec- tions of the book as an interrogative model for thinking through the operation of institutional practices (such as the place of the body in the clinical encounter, the assumptions regarding the sexed body that drive legal decisions on ALISON ROSS—THE ETHICS OF EMBODIMENT 223 surrogacy rights and the treatment of indi- that the authority we ‘invest in the law … to genous populations in Australia).
