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 fi elds 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 refl ects the rich and varied signifi cance of phenomenological thinking for seminal questions of human inquiry as well as the increasingly international reach of phenomenological research.

Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Foreword The Universality of Hermeneutics in Joseph Kockelmans’s Version of Hermeneutic Phenomenology In an autobiographical sketch, Joseph Kockelmans (2008) refl ects on his Denkweg in a manner that allows him to delineate the profi le of his version of hermeneutic phenomenology. Based essentially on this sketch, I should like in what follows to bring into focus three principal moments of his “ journey into phenomenological philosophy” that allude to his idea of the universality of interpretation in all cultur- ally specifi ed modes of being-in-the-world. I will call these moments respectively (a) the phenomenological reformulation of the Greek episteme; (b) the integration of the ontological difference in the theory of scientifi c truth; and (c) the historicity of objectifying thematization. There is in Professor Kockelmans’s works from the 1950s a gradual transition from Nikolai Hartmann’s theory of the ontological modalities and categories (addressed in its capacity to serve as a prerequisite for reconstructing the onto- logical assumptions of basic scientifi c theories) to a kind of hermeneutic ontol- ogy. This transition is especially palpable in his reading of Hartmann’s “Philosophy of Nature.” In Hartmann’s categorial metaphysics of knowledge Dasein and Sosein (as ways of being) are subordinated to the modes and spheres of being. The transition was by no means accomplished via a direct borrowing of Heidegger’s concept of Dasein . It is rather the idea that the very metaphysics of knowledge should seek to make sense of the ontological categories by having recourse to the interrelations of Dasein and Sosein within the scope of scientifi c knowledge. A true “Philosophy of Nature” cannot avoid addressing the revealing of nature’s being in these interrelations. Professor Kockelmans’s subsequent transformation of Hartmann’s concept of Dasein in terms of ek-sistence as a pre-categorial way of being opened the avenue to hermeneutic phenomenology. The constitution of meaning is the “facticity” which the theory of categories presupposes, being unable at the same time to refl ect upon it. Yet important motifs of a categorial metaphysics of knowledge were retained v vi Foreword in the new philosophical project. These motifs precisely informed the desire for a rehabilitation of the Greek episteme within the ontological framework. Still in his Dutch period, Professor Kockelmans adopted the view that philosophy is neither a meta-scientifi c world-view nor can it be “naturalized” by recasting its problematic in scientifi c terms and languages. The constitution of meaning in human ek-sistence is the subject which philosophy has to address. Philosophy can master this task by developing a kind of hermeneutic ontology that leaves enough room for epistemo- logical investigations. It is the rehabilitation of the Greek episteme that provides the chance for reconciling such investigations with the ontological search for meaning constitution and truth as un-concealment. But what kind of epistemology does this rehabilitation imply? An answer to that question is to be found in Professor Kockelmans’s long-standing critical encounter and dialogue with the post-empiricist philosophy of science. Roughly speaking, in this dialogue he was after an epistemology that is capable to complement hermeneutic phenomenology in a manner that can bridge the analytic of meaning constitution with a theory of epistemic-thematic articulation of various kinds of objects. Obviously, such a theory has little to do with the established (in the analytic philosophy) concept of epistemology as a normative theory about “justifi ed true beliefs.” By exploring the leeway released by the combination of the Greek episteme with the Greek phronēsis, Professor Kockelmans unfolded in diverse directions the claim that there is a horizonal understanding at the root of all specifi c forms of articulated knowing. It is this understanding that is a subject shared by both, herme- neutic phenomenology and the kind of epistemology which he looked for. Refl ecting on horizonal understanding provides the access to both the transcendence of the world, i.e. to what is at issue in the ontology of the potentiality-for-being, and to the ongoing fore-structuring of knowing by contextualized epistemic practices and procedures. Kockelmans (1993, p. 101) made the case that horizonal understanding “has in itself the eksistential structure of being a projection.” Because of this structure it acquires epistemological relevance. Understanding as “grasping by anticipation”—so the argument goes—fore- structures the formation of each epistemic-thematizing attitude toward the world. (Professor Kockelmans was preoccupied in the fi rst place with the triads of fore- having, fore-sight, and fore-conception that characterize the kinds of scien- tifi c thematization qua objectifi cation of the

CHAPTER 6 Philosophies of science Mach, Duhem, Bachelard Babette E.Babich THE TRADITION OF CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE If the philosophy of science is not typically represented as a ‘continental’ discipline it is nevertheless historically rooted in the tradition of continental thought. The different approaches to the philosophy of science apparent in the writings of Ernst Mach, Pierre Duhem and Gaston Bachelard suggest the range of these roots. But for a discussion of the tradition of continental philosophy of science—as the term ‘continental’ characterizes a contemporary style of philosophic thinking—it is important to emphasize that while Mach, Duhem and Bachelard may be said to be historically continental, a properly continental-style philosophy of science should not be ascribed to any one of them. Contemporary philosophy of science is pursued in what is largely an analytic or Anglo- American-style philosophic tradition.

  • Preface for All Volumes
    Preface for All Volumes Th is volume is one of fi ve that altogether contain 140 articles and approach a total of 4,000 pages. It has been developed from the second meeting, in Lima, of the Organization of Phenomenological Organizations (O.P.O.) (see www.o-p-o.net) and shows the cur- rent state of development and vitality of the world-wide, multidisci- plinary, multilingual, and century-old tradition of phenomenology. Before some remarks about the organization of this massive publi- cation, something further about the magnitude, complexity, and development of this tradition can be grasped through some counts that have been made of publications, organizations, individuals, countries, and disciplines. Th us, for example, the earlier set of 53 essays published on the O.P.O. website from the 2002 founding of the O.P.O. in Prague has been visited well over 9,000 times by October 2007. Not individual phenomenologists, but organizations belong to the O.P.O. Th us far, over 160 such organizations have been iden- tifi ed (see www.phenomenologycenter.org ), the latest being in Siberia, but more have been heard of. Some organizations are as small as 12 members and meet in private homes and one, in Japan, that numbers 500 members. At this point, 27 exist in the Asia-Pacifi c area, 22 in Central and Eastern Europe, 56 in Western Europe, 19 in Latin America, and 37 in North America. Organizations that pay the modest annual dues are formal members of the O.P.O. (Th e next planetary meeting of the O.P.O.

Kockelmans, William McKenna, Algis Mikunas, Jitendra Mohanty, Thomas M. Seebohm, and Richard M. Zaner Contributions to Phenomenology, Vol. 18. Dordrecht: Kluwer, 1997. Pp. xiv + 764. ISBN 0–7923–2956–2. whiteA 507/ US $558/£350 (hbk). This massive, well-researched, handsomely produced tome consists of a total of 166 articles, averaging 3,000 words each, providing essential guidance for both neophytes and the initiated on the nature and broad sweep of phenomenology in the twentieth century. The central themes and concepts of phenomenology (intention- ality, constitutive phenomenology, existential phenomenology, naturalism, lifew- orld, eidetic method, epochēwe,thi reduction, Dasein, noema) are of course covered, but there are also entries on individual philosophers (Arendt, Bergson, Brentano, Cassirer, Stein, etc.), broader survey articles on the development of phenomenology (e.g. perception after Husserl) and its different stages (e.g. realistic phenomenology, constitutive phenomenology, etc.), and articles on phenomenology in diverse geographical regions (including, somewhat unusually, Australia, India, Korea, Russia, South Africa), as well as entries on related themes (action, body, time, truth, possible worlds) and related fields – artificial intelligence (Hubert Dreyfus), cogni- tive science (Osborne Wiggins and Manfred Spitzer), structuralism (Richard Lani- gan), mathematics (Richard Tieszen), etc. Furthermore, although the focus of the majority of entries is philosophical, phenomenology’s impact on other disciplines is also treated, including, as might be expected, in the areas of psychology, sociology, feminism, anthropology, and law. There are even entries on phenomenology’s rela- tion to disciplines as diverse as theatre, dance, and deep ecology.
