Zaner, Vanderbilt University, TN, USA Scope The purpose of the series is to serve as a vehicle for the pursuit of phenomenological research across a broad spectrum, including cross-over developments with other fields of inquiry such as the social sciences and cognitive science. Since its establishment in 1987, Contributions to Phenomenology has published nearly 60 titles on diverse themes of phenomenological philosophy. In addition to welcoming monographs and collections of papers in established areas of scholarship, the series encourages original work in phenomenology. The breadth and depth of the Series reflects the rich and varied presence of phenomenological thinking to seminal questions of human inquiry as well as the increasingly international reach of phenomenological thinking.

The con- tinuing focus has thus been on knowledge and being. But if one began without those interests and with an understanding of the phenomenological style of approach, one might well see that art and aesthetics make up the most natural field to be approached phenomenologically. Contributions to this field have continually been made in the phenomenological tradition from very early on, but, so to speak, along the side. (The situation has been similar with phenomenological ethics.) A great deal of thought about art and aesthetics has nevertheless accumulated during a century and a handbook like the present one is long overdue. The project of this handbook began in conversations over dinner in Sepp’s apart- ment in Baden-Baden at one evening of the hot European summer in the year 2003. As things worked out, he knew more about whom to ask and how much space to allocate to each entry and Embree knew more about how to conduct the inviting, preliminary editing, and prodding of contributors

  • On the Methodological Role of Marxism in Merleau-Ponty's

    On the Methodological Role of Marxism in Merleau-Ponty's

    On the Methodological Role of Marxism in Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology Abstract While contemporary scholarship on Merleau-Ponty virtually overlooks his postwar existential Marxism, this paper argues that the conception of history contained in the latter plays a signifi- cant methodological role in supporting the notion of truth that operates within Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological analyses of embodiment and the perceived world. This is because this con- ception regards the world as an unfinished task, such that the sense and rationality attributed to its historical emergence conditions the phenomenological evidence used by Merleau-Ponty. The result is that the content of Phenomenology of Perception should be seen as implicated in the normative framework of Humanism and Terror. Keywords: Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology, Methodology, Marxism, History On the Methodological Role of Marxism in Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology In her 2007 book Merleau-Ponty and Modern Politics after Anti-Humanism, Diana Coole made the claim (among others) that Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology is “profoundly and intrinsically political,”1 and in particular that it would behoove readers of his work to return to the so-called ‘communist question’ as he posed it in the immediate postwar period.2 For reasons that basical- ly form the substance of this paper, I think that these claims are generally correct and well- taken. But this is in spite of the fact that they go very distinctly against the grain of virtually all contemporary scholarship on Merleau-Ponty. For it is the case that very few scholars today – and this is particularly true of philosophers – have any serious interest in the political dimen- sions of Merleau-Ponty’s work.

At present, no single logical, semantical or methodological framework dominates the philosophy of science. However, the editors of this series believe that formal techniques like, for example, independence friendly logic, dialogical logics, multimodal logics, game theoretic semantics and linear logics, have the potential to cast new light no basic issues in the discussion of the unity of science. This series provides a venue where philosophers and logicians can apply specific technical insights to fundamental philosophical problems. While the series is open to a wide variety of perspectives, including the study and analysis of argumentation and the critical discussion of the relationship between logic and the philosophy of science, the aim is to provide an integrated picture of the scientific enterprise in all its diversity.
  • On the Psychological Motives in Leopold Blaustein's Method

    On the Psychological Motives in Leopold Blaustein's Method

    GESTALT THEORY, DOI 10.2478/gth-2020-0015 © 2020 (ISSN 2519-5808); Vol. 42, No. 2, 181–194 Original Contributions - Originalbeiträge Witold Płotka Approaching the Variety of Lived Experiences: On the Psychological Motives in Leopold Blaustein’s Method 1. Introduction The basic aim of this article is to present selected elements of the method developed by Leopold Blaustein (1905–1942 [or 1944]) as a part of his philosophical investigations into the structure of lived experiences. To make this general aim more specific it is worthwhile to briefly outline the biography of this philosopher. Blaustein read philosophy and German at the John Casimir University in Lvov and completed his education during study visits to Freiburg im Breisgau (in 1925) and Berlin (1927–1928). In Lvov, he attended lectures on logic delivered by Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz (1890–1963) as well as classes conducted by Roman Ingarden (1893–1970) who, at that time, was only partially related to the university although he already tried to obtain the title of professor. Blaustein’s most important influence, however, was Kazimierz Twardowski (1866–1938), the founder of the Lvov-Warsaw School. It was under the supervision of Twardowski that he wrote his doctoral thesis published in 1928 under the title Husserlowska nauka o akcie, treści i przedmiocie przedstawienia [Husserl’s Theory of the Act, Content and the Object of Presentation] (Blaustein, 1928; Płotka, 2017, pp. 85–86). The thesis shows that Blaustein favoured phenomenological methods as formulated by Edmund Husserl (1859–1938) in the first edition ofLogical Investigations from 1900 and 1901. Phenomenology is understood there in the spirit of Franz Brentano (1838–1917), Husserl’s and Twardowski’s teacher from Vienna, as a form of descriptive psychology.

One could truly say, paraphrasing Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s brilliant 1959 essay “The Philosopher and his Shadow,”1 that Husserl is the philosopher in whose shadow Ricoeur, like Merleau-Ponty, also stands, the thinker to whom he constantly returns. Husserl is Ricoeur’s philosopher of reflection, par excellence. Indeed, Ricoeur always invokes Husserl when he is discussing a paradigmatic instance of contemporary philosophy of “reflection” and also of descriptive, “eidetic” phenomenology.2 Indeed, I shall argue in this chapter that Husserl’s influence on Ricoeur was decisive and provided a methodology which is permanently in play, even when it has to be concretized and mediated by hermeneutics, as Ricoeur proposes after 1960.
  • Barry Smith Kasimir Twardowski

    BARRY SMITH KASIMIR TWARDOWSKI: AN ESSAY ON THE BORDERLINES OF ONTOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY AND LOGIC1 1. Introduction The influence of Kasimir Twardowski on modern Polish philos­ ophy is all -pervasive. As is well known, almost all important 20th century Polish philosophers went through the hard training of his courses in Lvov. Twardowski instilled in his students an enduring concern for clarity and rigour. He taught them to regard philosophy as a collaborative effort, a matter of disciplined discussion and argument. And he encouraged them to work together with scientists from other disciplines above all with psycho­logists, and also with mathematicians - so that the Lvov school of philosophy would gradually evolve into the Warsaw school of logic2. Kasimir Skrzypna - Twardowski, Ritter von Ogonczyk, was born in Vienna in 1866, the son of a high official in the Austro-Hun­ garian Ministry of Finance. He was educated at the Theresianum, where, as in all Austrian grammar schools, a course in philos­ ophy (which is to say, psychology plus logic) was compulsory in the final year3. The officially prescribed textbook for this course for much of the second half of the 19th century (and in many cases also later) was the Philosophische Propadeutik of Robert Zimmermann, first published in Vienna in 1853 and transla - ted into Hungarian and Italian shortly thereafter. Zimmermann's work, the logical sections of which are little more than lightly disguised summaries of Bolzano's Wissenschaftsfehre prepared at Bolzano's own request, can now be seen to have done much to bring about a renaissance of Bolzanianism in Austria in a period when Bolzano's own writings were officially suppressed.
  • My Own Life[1]

    My Own Life[1]

    My Own Life[1] Dorion Cairns I was born July 4th, 1901, in the village of Contoocook, in the town of Hopkinton, New Hampshire. My father, James George Cairns, was the pastor of the Methodist Church in Contoocook, and I was the first child of my parents. During my first three and a half years of life, my father moved from one place to another as pastor of Methodist Churches in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. My brother, Stewart Scott Cairns, currently Professor of Mathematics at the University of Illinois, was born May 8th, 1904. My father felt that there was no future for a young minister in New England, and he decided to move his family—which consisted of my mother, my brother and me—to California. He shipped all of our family goods, all of our furniture and things, to California on the very day of the San Francisco Earthquake, or “Fire,” as they like to call it in San Francisco. The California Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at that time controlled what was called the “Utah Mission.” This was a mission to Mormon Territory, needless to say. My father, since there were so many people of longer standing in the California Conference who had no churches left owing to the earthquake, was given a church in Utah Mission, in Salt Lake City itself. It was there in 1907 that my sister Mary, who is the wife of James Wilkinson Miller, currently Professor of Philosophy at McGill University in Montreal, was born. When they wanted to transfer my father from this little church in Salt Lake City to a church or mission in Provo, Utah, my father went and looked at the set-up in Provo, and he came back, and it was the first time I had seen a grown man cry.
  • The Manifold Concept of the Lifeworld. Husserl and His Posterity

    The Manifold Concept of the Lifeworld. Husserl and His Posterity

    Doctorado en Filosofía The Manifold Concept of the lifeworld. Husserl and his posterity Academic Term 2nd Semester 2021 Credits 6 Calendar Once-a-week sessions, Tuesdays, 15.30-18.30; September 28 – December 14 Office hours Fridays, 17.00-18.00 Profesor Ovidiu Stanciu Mail [email protected] DESCRIPTION The concept of the world has played a significant role in the phenomenological tradition. By redefining the meaning of the world and proposing a “natural concept of the world” (natürliche Weltbegriff) or a concept of the lifeworld (Lebenswelt), phenomenology was able to make clear the peculiarity of its own undertaking against competing philosophical directions such as Neo-Kantianism, logical positivism or neutral monism (Whitehead, W. James). The first major formulation of the concept of lifeworld can be traced back to Husserl’s last writings, namely the ‘‘Crisis’’-texts. This course aims at unpacking the various ramifications and levels of analysis entailed in this question and at proposing a critical discussion of the ambiguities the concept of “life-world” contains. The basic claim Husserl (and the subsequent phenomenological tradition) is issuing is that although the world is never an immediate object of experience, although it cannot be experienced in a straightforward way as we experience things in the world, it is yet a built-in structure and a necessary ingredient of every experience. In and through each of our particular perceptions and actions we experience not only particular things but also of the world as their ultimate horizon. The correlative thesis is that every experience has an intuitive core and a non-thematic background, which properly understood is that of the world.

Part of this re­ assessment concerns those philosophers who, during the lives of Husserl and Heidegger, sought to defend an updated version of Kant’s philosophy, the neo-Kantians. The chapter shows where the phenomenologists were able to benefit from some of the insights on the part of Kant and the neo-Kantians, but also clearly points to the differences. The aim of this chapter is to offer a fair evaluation of the relation of the main phenomenologists to Kant and to what was at the time the most powerful philosophical movement in Europe. Keywords: Immanuel Kant, neo-Kantianism, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Marburg School of neo-Kantian­ ism 3.1 Introduction THE relation between phenomenology, Kant, and Kantian philosophizing broadly con­ strued (historically and systematically), has been a mainstay in phenomenological re­ search.1 This mutual testing of both philosophies is hardly surprising given phenomenology’s promise to provide a wholly novel type of philosophy.

Instytucja ta dotychczas pozostawała nieznana w historii polskiej pedagogiki społecznej i pracy socjalnej, niniejszy artykuł uzupełnia zatem stan badań nad dziejami kształcenia służb społecznych w Polsce międzywojennej, ograniczający się jak dotąd do wiedzy na temat Studium Pracy Społeczno-Oświatowej, zorganizowanego w 1925 r. przy Wolnej Wszechnicy Polskiej w Warszawie. W artykule przybliżono genezę placówki lwowskiej, wskazując na potrzeby w zakresie wykwalifikowanych pracowników pomocy i opieki społecznej oraz animatorów działań oświatowych we Lwowie oraz na terenach byłej Galicji. Scharakteryzowano kierunki kształcenia i plany nauczania, podkreślając ich wielodyscyplinarność, odpowiadającą różnorodności zadań stojących przed absolwentami Studium. Wykazano także powiązanie studium lwowskiego z warszawskim – jego organizację konsultowano z Heleną Radlińską, twórczynią polskiej pedagogiki społecznej, a wykładowcą był Józef Czesław Babicki, jeden z twórców polskiej pedagogiki opiekuńczej. Wysoki poziom kształcenia w lwowskim Studium zapewniała starannie dobrana kadra, naturalnym zapleczem naukowo- dydaktycznym okazał się Uniwersytet Jana Kazimierza we Lwowie, jeden z najważniejszych ośrodków akademickich w międzywojennej Polsce.

    92 Necessitate Scrutiny Beyond the Scope of His Thesis, Schneider Reiterates His Long-Standing Argument Against the Utopian Expa

    92 BOOK REVIEWS necessitate scrutiny beyond the scope of his thesis, Schneider reiterates his long-standing argument against the utopian expansiveness of the "Wilbe- rians" as well as suggests an existential basis for religion. Finally, Schneider presents his contribution to existential therapy. Essentially, it consists of the attempt to help the patient integrate the contradictory, paradoxical extremes of everyday life. He summarizes: The key dictums here have been (1) address the client's desire and capacity for (constrictive or expansive) integration; (2) align the ther- apeutic approach with this desire and capacity; and (3) invite clients into increasingly anxious domains of their experience (keeping fully aware of the first dictum), so as to enhance their capacity to construc- tively transform those domains. (p. 204) Schneider's consideration of the paradoxical phenomena of constriction and expansion continues the existential tradition in psychotherapy. While one might wonder about the constrictive nature of the thesis itself as it reduces a vast array of descriptions (as well as psychoanalytic and psycho- logical nosology) to the polarity, it provides a means of understanding the fear and dread experienced by troubled people in the context of the contradictions of everyday existence. Furthermore, it offers both a philo- sophic and psychotherapeutic means of' understanding and being with individuals stymied or troubled by those contradictions. Michael W.
