Hobbs A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, WI August 2017 ABSTRACT INVESTIGATIONS OF WORTH: TOWARDS A PHENOMENOLOGY OF VALUES Dale (D.J.) Hobbs Marquette University, 2017 The purpose of this dissertation is to provide a clear and compelling account of the existence and nature of values within a phenomenological context. Values such as beauty or virtue are certainly a major part of our experiential lives. After all, what would life be worth if we could never describe a painting as beautiful, for example, or a beverage as delicious? Nevertheless, understanding what these values are on their own terms has historically been a rather difficult task. Certainly, they are not ordinary objects that could be seen or heard, touched or tasted, like the physical objects to which they seem to be connected in some mysterious way. In this dissertation, I argue that a phenomenological approach enables us to give a solid account of the role that values play in experience. Working in dialogue with Husserl and other phenomenologists and related thinkers (especially Max Scheler and Nicolai Hartmann), as well as with recent commentary, I develop my own account of values as lying on the phenomenological “horizons” of experience.

Our method is dialectic, bringing a survey of Aristotle’s philosophy together the argumentation of our thesis. We started from the very beginning of the Aristotelian corpus, we devoted our first two chapters to Aristotle’s logic, chapters III and IV to his philosophy of nature, and our last chapters V and VI to his ethical political philosophy. Thus, we have worked on four fundamental meanings of logos respectively: “standard”, “proportion”, “reason” and “discourse”. Our thesis is the following. In its four fundamental meanings in Aristotle’s philosophy, logos each time refers back to a focal meaning: a relation between terms that preserves them together in their difference instead of collapsing one term to the other or holding them in indifference.

AND POLIS Daryl McGowan Tress Fordham University Introduction Aristotle has many different things to say about children and childhood in his writings. For example, begetting offspring is one of the basic efforts in which all animals, including human animals, are engaged. (History of Aniials (HA) 589a5; 596b21; Nichomachean Ethics (MI) 1162al8) Human children are born singly for the most part but, he notes, frequently twins are born; the most babies resulting from one birth is five which "has already been seen to happen in several cases." (HA 584b33-5) He observes that immediately after birth infants cry out and raise their hands to their mouths, but he adds that for forty days afterward they neither laugh nor cry while awake (although they might do both while asleep).

  • Aestimatio 13 (2016–2018) 187–191 188 Aestimatio
    Aristotelismo by Andrea Falcon Turin: Casa Editrice Einaudi, 2018. Pp. x + 150. ISBN 978–88–06–23112–5. Paper €18.00 Reviewed by Marilù Papandreou Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München [email protected] In Aristotelismo (Aristotelianism), Andrea Falcon traces the history of Aris- totelianism from the Hellenistic period to Late Antiquity. Right from the introduction, Falcon defines his notion of this history: it corresponds not with the history of the Peripatos but with the history of the presence of Aristotelian elements in ancient authors. For this reason, the book includes the examination not only of members of Aristotle’s school but also of authors who did not consider themselves exponents of the Aristotelian tradition or who even regarded themselves as its opponents. The book is divided into five chapters following a brief introduction onthe nature and intent of the work. Chapter 1 concerns the Hellenistic period, discussing the activity of the Peripatos as well as Epicurus and the Stoics. Chapters 2 and 3 address the post-Hellenistic age. Chapter 2 focuses on the exponents of the Peripatos (e.g., Boethus of Sidon,Xenarchus of Seleucia, Alexander of Aphrodisias), whereas chapter 3 concentrates on the presence of Aristotelian elements within the Platonic and Stoic traditions (i.e., Antiochus of Ascalon, Eudorus of Alexandria, Plutarch of Chaeronea, Alcinous, Apuleius, the pseudo-Pythagorean treatises, and Stoics such as Panaetius of Rhodes and Posidonius of Apamea). Chapter 4 deals with Late Antiquity, in particular with Porphyry, Iamblichus, and the School of Athens (e.g., Sirianus, Proclus, Damascius, and Simplicius) as well as that of Alexandria (e.g., Ammonius and John Philoponus).

    THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL FOUNDATION OF TRANSCENDENTAL PHENOMENOLOGY: HUSSERL AND THE PROBLEM OF KNOWLEDGE A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy By David John Bachyrycz, B.A. Washington, D.C. December 18, 2009 Copyright 2010 by David John Bachyrycz All Rights Reserved ii THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL FOUNDATION OF TRANSCENDENTAL PHENOMENOLOGY: HUSSERL AND THE PROBLEM OF KNOWLEDGE David John Bachyrycz, B.A. Thesis Advisor: John B. Brough, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The goal of this dissertation is to provide an account of Edmund Husserl’s epistemology and its place within his phenomenology up through the publication of Ideas I in 1913. It represents a challenge to the view that Husserl is a Cartesian epistemologist seeking to safeguard the foundations of theoretical knowledge from the challenge of skepticism. Instead, I argue that Husserl aims to provide a transcendental clarification of knowledge understood as particular kind of intentional performance. The animating question of Husserl’s theory of knowledge is not whether the achievement of objective knowledge is possible for an experiencing subject, but how it is possible. I begin by examining Husserl’s earliest attempt at a general theory of knowledge in the First Edition Logical Investigations, which I argue should be understood in broadly Kantian terms, as a project of disclosing the conditions for possibility of knowledge by way of a phenomenological investigation of intentional consciousness. I next look at how Husserl articulates his analysis of knowledge on the basis of the cardinal phenomenological distinction between empty and fulfilled intentions.

  • Lecture 6.1: Introduction to Aristotle: the Categories Rorty UCSC
    Lecture 6.1: Introduction to Aristotle: The Categories Rorty UCSC Introduction to Aristotle: There are three giants of ancient philosophy: Socrates, Plato’s Socrates—surely one of the most captivating (and annoying) figures in all of literature; his admirer and student, Plato, converted to philosophy by his mentor—and the third giant, Aristotle— 384-322 BC—the son of a physician, a student in Plato’s Academy for 20 years, and the founder of a second great philosophical school, the Lyceum. Three close philosophical generations: three radically diverse approaches. Socrates, the conversationalist—wrote nothing, depicted by his student as specializing in encountering his fellow-citizens in the streets and embarrassing them by pointed questions. Plato, a dramatist-turned-chronicler used the paradoxical figure of his mentor to spin mysteries with metaphors, gradually, through the course of his writing, turning from dialectic to metaphysics and even more abstract puzzles. In Aristotle we encounter yet a different kind of mind. This man, the son of a physician, is more of a scientist than a poet. He was an inexhaustible natural scientist; legend has it that he ordered his most famous pupil, Alexander, to send him specimens of the flora and fauna he passed in his conquest of the ancient world. I’m not sure how fair it is to deny poetry to him; I say that, based only on the evidence that we have: Both men are supposed to have written dialogues AND doctrines; but in one of the paradoxes of history, the treatises of the one and the dialogues of the other have been lost.
