Hegel's Philosophy of Religion As a Phenomenology
FILOZOFIA Roč. 75 , 20 20 , č. 5 DOI: https://doi.org/10.31577/filozofia.2020.75.5. 4 HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION AS A PHENOMENOLOGY1 JON STEWART, Institute of Philosophy Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia STEWART, J.: Hegel’s Philosophy of Religion as a Phenomenology FILOZOFIA, 75, 2020, No 5, pp. 386 – 400 The present article takes up the issue of whether Hegel’s accounts of religion can be regarded as phenomenological analyses. This is a complex issue that con- cerns both the “Religion” chapter of the Phenomenology of Spirit and the Berlin Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion. At first, an account is given of how He- gel understands phenomenology. Then this is used as the basis for an evaluation of his analyses of religion in the Phenomenology and the Lectures. The thesis is that these two analyses, although separated by many years, in fact show clear signs of methodological continuity and can indeed be regarded as phenomeno- logical at least on Hegel’s own definition. This reading offers us a way to resolve the long-standing problem of whether the Phenomenology of Spirit can be seen as a genuinely unified text. Moreover, it shows the little-recognized connection between Hegel’s early philosophy of religion and his later philosophy of religion from his Berlin lectures. Keywords: Phenomenology of religion – Coherence theory – Philosophy of religion – Consciousness Hegel is known for his early work the Phenomenology of Spirit from 1807. In the Introduction he outlines the basic approach of phenomenology. This work, however, has confronted commentators with a number of interpretative difficulties with respect to the issue of his phenomenological methodology. -

My own challenge to this thesis inThe Bounds ofLogic (and related articles2) was motivated by what I perceived to be its inade quate philosophical grounding.The bounds of logic are, in an important sense, the bounds of logical constants, yet the bounds of the standard logical constants are specified by enumeration, i.e., dogmatically, without grounding or explanation. -
1 Gila Sher Chen Bo Foundational Holism
1 GILA SHER CHEN BO∗ FOUNDATIONAL HOLISM, SUBSTANTIVE THEORY OF TRUTH, AND A NEW PHILOSOPHY OF LOGIC: INTERVIEW WITH GILA SHER BY CHEN BO (Ⅰ) (To appear Chinese Journal of Philosophy (Blackwell, A&HCI)), 2018 ABSTRACT This interview consists of four parts. The first part outlines Gila Sher’s academic background and earlier research. Although getting strong intellectual influence from Kant, Quine, and Tarski, Sher tries to keep her intellectual independence. The second part discusses Sher’s foundational holism. Among its distinctive features are: applicability to all branches of knowledge; a substantial grounding-in-reality requirement; focus on structural holism; sanctioning not only a rich network of connections among theories, but also a rich network of connections between theories and the world; and a fine-grained approach to circularity, including the introduction of “constructive” circularity. Based on her foundational holism, Sher puts forward a post- Quinean model of knowledge. This involves (i) a conception of reality that puts abstract and concrete features of objects on a par, (ii) a conception of intellect as central to empirical as well as to abstract knowledge, (iii) a conception of intellectual knowledge as quasi rather than fully apriori, (iv) a new paradigm of intellectual activity - “figuring out,” and (v) a new conception of realism - “basic realism” - applicable to all fields of knowledge. The third part discusses Sher’s substantive theory of truth. The theory sets forth three basic principles of truth: the “fundamental principle of truth,” the “manifold correspondence principle,” and the “logicality principle.” The fourth part discusses Sher’s new philosophy of logic, whose key idea is that logic is grounded both in the world and in humans’ mind. -
Project Abstract the Summer Program for Diversity in Logic for Undergraduates Builds Upon the PIKSI Summer Program Model, Focusi
Project Abstract The Summer Program for Diversity in Logic for Undergraduates builds upon the PIKSI Summer Program Model, focusing on Logic, an area in philosophy needing to increase diversity. We request seed funding for the pilot run of the program in May of 2016, when we will offer 12 students the opportunity to explore an exciting research theme in Logic –Paradoxes—receive small-group tutoring in formal techniques, receive mentoring and support for professionalization, experience validation, understanding and advice regarding diversity issues they have encountered –sexism, racism, ableism (and which the students may worry about encountering them in the profession), and develop a sense of community with students and faculty with whom they can identify and, in turn, come to strengthen their own identities. Project Purpose Our goal is to empower students to conceive of themselves as aspiring logicians, philosophers of logic and formal philosophers who belong in our profession. As Audrey Yap has noted, a majority of philosophy majors encounter some logic as a part of their undergraduate curriculum. Increasing diversity in logic is not simply a problem of exposure, but concretely addressing underlying pressures women and minority students experience, particularly stereotype threat and pernicious ideas about “natural aptitude.” (1) These pressures are especially strong in the subfield of logic, where almost no women and minorities have contributed to the research literature until very recently, and women and minorities remain underrepresented to a higher degree than in philosophy more broadly. Women and minorities learning logic can be vulnerable to feeling that a field like logic, that tends to be male and white dominated on the whole, is not welcoming to them. -
Epistemic Friction: Reflections on Knowledge, Truth, and Logic
Erkenn (2010) 72:151–176 DOI 10.1007/s10670-009-9202-x ORIGINAL ARTICLE Epistemic Friction: Reflections on Knowledge, Truth, and Logic Gila Sher Received: 1 July 2008 / Accepted: 16 November 2009 / Published online: 11 December 2009 Ó The Author(s) 2009. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Knowledge requires both freedom and friction. Freedom to set up our epistemic goals, choose the subject matter of our investigations, espouse cognitive norms, design research programs, etc., and friction (constraint) coming from two directions: the object or target of our investigation, i.e., the world in a broad sense, and our mind as the sum total of constraints involving the knower. My goal is to investigate the problem of epistemic friction, the relation between epistemic friction and freedom, the viability of foundationalism as a solution to the problem of fric- tion, an alternative solution in the form of a neo-Quinean model, and the possibility of solving the problem of friction as it applies to logic and the philosophy of logic within that model. 1 The Problem of Epistemic Friction The problem of epistemic friction is the Kantian problem of providing our theories with appropriate resistance so they do not ‘‘hover idly in thin air’’. Kant illustrates the problem with his ‘‘dove’’ metaphor: ‘‘The light dove, cleaving the air in her free flight, and feeling its resistance, might imagine that her flight would be still easier in empty space…’’ (Kant 1781/1787, p. A5/B8-9). Kant’s prototype of a frictionless discipline is traditional metaphysics which purports to provide knowledge of ‘‘things in themselves’’ through our conceptual faculty (‘‘understanding’’) alone, having no adequate tests for its ideas or means for correcting its theories. -

None of genuine philosophers was either a Luther, or a Marat or a Communist Franciszek Krupiński (1863) Various can be the criteria on the basis of which the philosophy practiced by a given nation is presented. Usually the attention is on autonomy, identity, or the internal cohesion of a given tradition. For people who do not know the intellec- tual culture of a given country presentation of distinguishing, characteristic fea- tures of its national philosophy seems to be the most important. The addressee of that profile is also important. It does not seem relevant, for example, to describe 1 Text prepared for the seminar „Polish Philosophers”, org.

For the representative of the intellectual tradition of North America may also find connections with the American thought significant. -
