  • Summer Reading - Philosophy
    Summer Reading - Philosophy If you about to embark on your philosophical journey and want to do some preparatory reading beforehand, we suggest two types of book that would be useful for you to read. One or two of each type is sufficient. Although some preparation is undoubtedly helpful, don’t feel that you have to prepare intensively or exhaustively. The two types of book are, 1). an introduction to the history of ideas, and 2). a topic-based introduction. The first will give you a chronological overview of the development of thought, which is useful because later thinkers, in their various traditions, are in conversation with earlier ones and this will help you orientate yourself in those conversations. The second will allow you to engage with particular philosophical problems and arguments more directly and encourage you to think about them for yourself, without necessarily being encumbered by the weight of tradition. In each category, we suggest: Introductions to the History of Ideas David Cooper, World Philosophies: An Historical Introduction. Oxford: Blackwell, 2002, 2nd edition. (Written by a philosopher who is happy working across different thought traditions, this looks at the history of ideas from a global perspective.) Anthony Kenny, A New Introduction to Western Philosophy. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2012. (A comprehensive survey of the key ideas in European thought by one of Britain’s most eminent philosophers. Kenny has also written other introductions that focus on particular historical periods.) Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy. London: Routledge, 2004. (First published in 1945, this is a classic example of the genre—even though it obviously leaves out important developments in the second half of the twentieth century.

The book provides a very accurate account of the modern day existentialists who came into their own before and during the second world war.

  • Existentialism / Biography / Being in the World
    Existentialism / Biography / Being in the World By Walter Cummins Review of Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café: Freedom, Being, and Apricot Cocktails (New York: Other Press, 2016) ne reason Sarah Bakewell’s The Existentialist Café: Freedom, Being, and Apricot Cocktails is O such an engaging read was her decision to organize her examination of philosophy around the lives of the central thinkers, with tantalizing tidbits about their friendships and fallings out, their wives and lovers, their personal tensions over evolving and conflicting theories. But her approach offers far more than revelations of inside gossip—who said what and did what, who turned against whom, who felt betrayed. Biography is inseparable from existentialist thinking: the ways we live, choose, and shape our lives are fundamental to our understanding of the nature of human existence. In many ways, the Existentialists remade the approach to philosophy by personalizing it so profoundly. For them, philosophical systems are not a set of theories “out there,” like mathematical formulas, to be grasped by intellects independent of personal experience, detached from the emotions and behaviors of the person grasping. Instead, the Existentialists believed, philosophies are revealed in our interactions with the world around us. Rather than being “out there,” philosophies come from within, inseparable from our actions and our choices. Basically, one need not be a “professional philosopher” to develop explanations of what matters most to our human existence, to our being in the world, to what we can know about the world, to our choices in such a world, and to our capacity for making all we can of our lives.

  • The Making of the Modern Self
    Final Syllabus The Making of the Modern Self: Existential Philosophy University of Copenhagen Department of Theology / DIS Spring Semester 2017 3 credits Major Disciplines: Literature, Philosophy, Ethics Class Meetings: Thursdays 12:00-14:30. University of Copenhagen, South Campus, Room 6B.0.22 Course Instructors: Anna Strelis Söderquist Brian Söderquist DIS Contacts: Matt Kelley, Program Assistant, European Humanities Department Computer policy: No computers in class. No net, no texting during class. Course Content: Focusing on thinkers from the Existentialist tradition such as Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Copenhagen’s own Søren Kierkegaard, this course traces the development of the conception of “selfhood.” Among other things, we will observe how ethical thinking has moved from the language of duty to that of personal answerability, and how the search for meaningful personal existence has increasingly become the responsibility of the individual. The unique vocabulary of these authors appears not only in works of philosophy, theology, and psychology, but also literature and theatre, which illustrates that we understand ourselves via the stories we tell, and that these narratives are necessarily told in dialogue with “the Other,” our fellow human beings. Readings: Completion of reading assignments as scheduled is required and is a prerequisite for participating in class discussions. Lectures and Discussion: In general, class will be a combination of lecture and class discussion. Class participation includes attendance and contributions students make in class. Small Papers: Three small papers (4-5 double-spaced pages) will be assigned during the course of the semester. Late papers will be penalized a half-grade for each day after the due date.

  • Bakewell, Sarah. at the Existentialist Café, Chatto & Windus, London
    http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/szhf.2017.035 Bakewell, Sarah. At the Existentialist Café, Chatto & Windus, London, 2016, pp. 440 When we start to discuss existentialism, it is probably impossible to avoid the question of whether existentialism is over or not. I have heard this query since the moment I started to be interested in philosophy, which was almost half a century ago. Recently, I have heard it at a student conference dedicated to existentialism. The conference took place several months ago in Gniezno and was attended by over sixty participants. At that point, I asked: “If existen- tialism is over, what are you doing here, ladies and gentlemen?” With this very question about the end of existentialism, Sarah Bakewell begins and also ends her today’s popularity record-breaking bestseller At the Existentialist Café (the next bestseller of this well-known populariser of phi- losophy). On the third page of the core text in the book, how could it not, we find the photographs of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir sit- ting at a café table. After all, existentialism is “a café philosophical belief”. I heard that “café existentialists” really existed, also in our country, as early as in the seventies; however, the truth is that in Poland, there has never been any true existentialist in the sense in which Roman Ingarden and his nu- merous followers were at that time and still are phenomenologists. And the availability of coffee in the forties in the PRL (the Polish People’s Republic) was problematic as well. Nevertheless, we could always meet young sensitive people dressed in black sweaters, fascinated by the fundamental questions in the field of human philosophy.

No library descriptions found. Bakewell serves up information in steps, from early phenomenological thinkers up to ones that broke off with a lot of the early ones, also putting some history behind things. How did she do it? Of course I may be influenced by my biology, or by aspects of my culture and personal background, but none of this adds up to a complete blueprint for producing me. So, what's this book about? I have always admired existentialism and some of the literary works of Sartre chiefly his short story, "The Wall" and Camus chiefly his novel, The Stranger. Some have come out alive but at a terrible cost. For Jane and Ray.

It is the story of Jorgen Jorgenson, an extraordinary Georgian figure who would have been invented by some novelist had he not in fact existed. As soon as you have said he is a revolutionary you must also say he was an anti-Napoleonic Anglophile. As soon as you say he was an enthusiast you must entertain the possibility that he was, to quote Bakewell, "Toad of Toad Hall", and as soon as you say he was one of the founders of Van Diemen's Land and grand protector of Iceland, you have also to mention that he was a British convict. Jorgenson is remembered both as king of Iceland for one heady summer at one end of the globe, and the Viking of Van Diemen's Land at the other, and to an extent he seems a being created by the Earth's zapping north-south electric field. When the Prince of Denmark recently wedded his Tasmanian Van Diemen's Land wife, he declared he followed in the earlier Dane, Jorgenson's, footsteps with just as much hope and just as much confidence. The prince did not mention Jorgenson's endlessly zealous, inventive and disordered brilliance.

ISBN 978-3-406-72479-4 Weitere Informationen finden Sie hier: https://www.chbeck.de/4588 © Verlag C.H.Beck oHG, München Paris 1932, im Café Bec-de-Gaz sagt Raymond Aron zu seinem Freund Sartre: «Siehst du, mon petit camarade, wenn du Phänomenologe bist, kannst du über diesen Cocktail sprechen, und das ist dann Philoso- phie!» Der einfache Satz war die Geburtsstunde einer neuen Bewe- gung, die sich in Jazzclubs und Cafés verbreitete. Sie inspirierte Musi- ker und Schriftsteller, erregte Abscheu im Bürgertum und befruchtete Feminismus, Antikolonialismus und 68er-Revolte. Sarah Bakewell erzählt in diesem Buch erstmals die Geschichte der Existenzialisten. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Antipoden Heidegger und Sartre, der eine in seiner Hütte im Schwarzwald dem Sein nachsin- nend, der andere in Pariser Cafés wie besessen schreibend. Aber es geht auch um Husserl und Merleau-Ponty, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Iris Murdoch, Colin Wilson und viele andere. Am Ende ster- ben die Protagonisten und verlassen das Café. Doch Sarah Bakewells meisterhafte Kollektivbiographie lässt sie wieder lebendig werden und uns teilhaben an ihren Gesprächen über das Sein, die Freiheit und Ap- rikosencocktails. Sarah Bakewell lebt als Schriftstellerin in London, wo sie außerdem Creative Writing an der City University lehrt und für den National Trust seltene Bücher katalogisiert. Ihre geniale Biographie «Wie soll ich leben? oder Das Leben Montaignes in einer Frage und zwanzig Antworten» (C.H.Beck Paperback, 2016) wurde zu einem internationa- len Bestseller, ausgezeichnet mit dem Duff Cooper Prize for Non-Fic- tion und dem National Books Critics Circle Award for Biography.
