    Curriculum Vitae Leigh Duffy February, 2020 Email: [email protected] Education PhD, Philosophy, 2009. University at Buffalo. (SUNY) Dissertation: “Modal Illusions: Making Sense of the Necessary A Posteriori” Abstract: My dissertation focused on the question of modal illusions or illusions of possibility. I argue against two prominent explanations of the phenomenon, including the Kripkean view that has been dominant in the history of analytic philosophy. I then propose a better way of understanding why a person might believe that the impossible is possible. My explanation makes use of the distinction between epistemic possibility and metaphysical possibility. According to my account, mind-body dualism is a modal illusion and can be explained away with this theory.

  • Ideen I (Sections 118-124): Drawing-Back to the Ego
    APPENDIX IDEEN I (SECTIONS 118-124): DRAWING-BACK TO THE EGO. SYNTHESIS AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL SCIENCE Husserl's account of synthesis and the single ego in Ideen 1 finally explains how the ongoing process of interpretative consciousness lays out its own intentional history behind it as it goes. One tends to remember the central themes of Ideen 1 as being issues surrounding the absolute ego and the method­ ology of the transcendental reductions. But if we concentrate on sections 118-124 where Husserl discusses the problem of synthesis, we find that while ego and science are still in some sense treated as prior to ongoing con­ sciousness, they are here treated as having been constituted as prior by those syntheses. I offer the following pages not as a complete reading of Ideen 1, or as a general account of the relation between Husserl's early and later works, or even as a close exegesis of sections 118-124, but as a speculative reading of the theories of the ego, of synthesis, and of phenomenology, and in par­ ticular a reading of Husserl's descriptive category of "drawing back", that suggests a solution to the problems of synthesis left over from the Logical I nvestigations. The problem we have to solve is how the synthetic interpretation of actual experience both grounds and depends on the implicit containment of backward references in consciousness. Consciousness must be so constituted as to extend beyond its actualities into a prior unity of all that is possible; it must be so active as to have prepared for the passive reception of any experience what­ soever; so unified as to establish rational connections between distinct spheres of meaning; so committed to natural experience as to reflect back on phe­ nomenological science.

  • 275 Phenomenology Beyond the Spirit of Revenge Kah Kyung Cho
    Phenomenology Beyond the Spirit of Revenge Kah Kyung Cho. Bewusstsein und Natursein. Phänomenologischer West-Ost Diwan. Freiburg und München: Karl Alber, 1987. 360 pp. The subtitle of Professor Kah Kyung Cho's book gives the reader a better idea than the title of what to expect. In his West-istlicher Divan Goethe, like the Arab and Persian poets he was emulating, used "Divan" to refer to a collection of poems, poems he intended to lead poetry beyond European parochialism and to give voice to the universally human. This is a similar collection; to be sure, not of poems: this "divan" is a work of philosophy, a collection of essays in the phenomenological tradition written between 1967 and 1988. But if so, it is equally a work that calls that tradition and its logocentric presuppositions into question. To address the crisis faced by Western culture, Cho enters into a thoughtful confrontation of Western and Eastern thought. As a Korean who, while deeply committed to Taoism, yet also demonstrates an extraordinary command of the phenomenological tradition-Lowith, Gadamer, and especially Landgrebe deserve to be sin- gled out as his mentors-Cho is in a singular position to accomplish what he has set out to do. Having taught at the State University of New York in Buffalo ever since 1970, he knows very well the technological culture that is the subject of his reflections. I only hope that the author's unusual placement between the Korean, the German, and the American philosophical com- munities will not prevent this thoughtful book from receiving the attention it deserves.
