  • Nicholas of Cusa and Modern Philosophy
    //FS2/CUP/3-PAGINATION/HRP/2-PROOFS/3B2/9780521846486C09.3D 173 [173–192] 2.5.2007 8:03AM 9 DERMOT MORAN Nicholas of Cusa and modern philosophy ‘‘Gatekeeper of the modern age’’ Nicholas of Cusa (Niklas Krebs, known as Cusanus, 1401–64), one of the most original and creative intellects of the fifteenth century,1 has been variously described as ‘‘the last great philosopher of the dying Middle Ages’’ (Alexandre Koyre´), as a ‘‘transition-thinker’’ between the medieval and modern worlds (Frederick Copleston),2 and as the ‘‘gatekeeper of the modern age’’ (Rudolf Haubst).3 He is a lone figure with no real successor although he had some influence on Copernicus, Kepler, Bruno, and, tangen- tially, on Descartes. The German Idealists showed some interest in Nicholas of Cusa but the real revival of his thought was stimulated by the neo-Kantian philosopher Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945) who called him ‘‘the first modern thinker’’ and by the existentialist Karl Jaspers.4 Cassirer compared him to Kant for his view that objects have to be understood in terms of the categories of our own thought.5 Other scholars, notably Alexandre Koyre´,6 Hans-Georg Gadamer7 Hans Blumenberg,8 Werner Beierwaltes,9 and Karsten Harries,10 all see him in a certain way as a harbinger of modernity.11 Yet his outlook is essentially conservative, aiming, as Hans Blumenberg has recognized, to maintain the medieval synthesis.12 Cusanus was a humanist scholar, Church reformer – his De concordantia catholica (On Catholic Concord, 1434) included proposals for the reform of Church and state – papal diplomat, and Catholic cardinal.

  • Dermot Moran, President of the International Federation Of
    WORLD CONGRESS “ARISTOTLE 2400 YEARS” WELCOME NOTE THESALLONIKI 23 MAY 2016 Dermot Moran University College Dublin President Fédération Internationale des Sociétés de Philosophie (FISP Dear friends of Aristotle, As President of the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés de Philosophie (FISP, International Federation of Philosophical Societies), on behalf of FISP, and in my personal capacity as an academic philosopher, I am deeply honored to be invited to write these words of welcome to you, the participants in this historic event in Thessaloniki, at the renowned Aristotle University to commemorate the 2400 anniversary of the birth of Aristotle (384 to 322 BCE). On your behalf, I want to thank most sincerely Professor Emerita Demetra Sfendoni-Mentzou, President of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Aristotle Studies, and her colleagues at the Aristotle University, for making this international congress a reality in these difficult and challenging times. I want to thank especially Professor Perikles A. Mitkas, the Rector of the Aristotle University, and Professor Evanghelos Moutsopoulos of the Academy of Athens. It is simply impossible to imagine what the world would have been like if there never had been an Aristotle. He was a true polymath of the kind that appears only rarely on the stage of world history. So great was his authority in the Middle Ages that he was known simply as ‘the Philosopher’. For Dante, he was the ‘master of men who know’ (Inferno). We owe to him the word ‘lyceum’ (French: ‘lycée’) that has come to signify – along with the term ‘academy’-- the very title for an institution of scholarly learning. Notoriously, the German philosopher Martin Heidegger is reported to have begun his Aristotle lectures with this short biography: “He was born, he lived, he died.” What mattered, for Heidegger, were Aristotle’s works.

Human consciousness is itself sustained by the pre-reflective and pre-objective unity of the lived body, as Merleau-Ponty points out (1964, 184/1968, 141–42). Embodiment and subjectivity, moreover, are not themes that can be treated fully in isolation from each other or from the wider context of the environ- ing lived world (Husserl’s Lebenswelt or Lebensumwelt; Merleau-Ponty’s monde de vie). Although embodiment is always in each case mine (cf. Hei- degger’s Jemeinigkeit), the experience of embodiment is also always already expressive and communicative, intersubjective and intercorporeal, and inti- mately and seamlessly integrated into and mediating the social and collec- tive cultural and symbolic worlds.

  • INTERVIEW with DERMOT MORAN the Joseph Chair in Catholic Philosophy Διανοια
    INTERVIEW WITH DERMOT MORAN The Joseph Chair in Catholic Philosophy διανοια 8 Interview with Dermot Moran Dianoia conducted an interview with Dermot Moran, the Joseph Chair in Catholic Philosophy and current Chair of the Department of Philosophy. Joining Boston College in 2017 after serving as the Gadamer Visiting Professor in 2015, he is currently the President of the International Federation of Philosophical Studies/Fédération Internationale des Sociétés de Philosophie (FISP) and Founding Editor of ‘The International Journal of Philosophical Studies’ (1993). Moran’s research areas include medieval philosophy (especially Christian Platonism) and contemporary European philosophy (especially phenomenology), and he is the author of nine monographs, fifteen edited books, and hundreds of journal articles and book chapters. Dianoia: Could you describe what phenomenology is and say a little about its founder Edmund Husserl? Moran: Well first of all, I always emphasize that phenomenology is an approach rather than a strict method. Edmund Husserl, who is the founder of phenomenology and the Logical Investigations (1900), really wanted a strict method and a method that would underline all the other sciences. It would be a scientific method to beat all scientific methods, that was his idea. And of course, his famous slogan was “back to the things themselves” since he wanted a descriptive science that describes how our consciousness encounters the world in the manner that it presents itself. It was meant to be a transparent description of our experience in its full richness, but his methodology was very much contested even by his own students (e.g. Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and others), so his bracketing method, his method of pure description evolved.

  • Hilary Putnam and Immanuel Kant: Two ‘Internal Realists’?
    DERMOT MORAN HILARY PUTNAM AND IMMANUEL KANT: TWO ‘INTERNAL REALISTS’? ABSTRACT. Since 1976 Hilary Putnam has drawn parallels between his ‘internal’, ‘prag- matic’, ‘natural’ or ‘common-sense’ realism and Kant’s transcendental idealism. Putnam reads Kant as rejecting the then current metaphysical picture with its in-built assumptions of a unique, mind-independent world, and truth understood as correspondence between the mind and that ready-made world. Putnam reads Kant as overcoming the false dichotomies inherent in that picture and even finds some glimmerings of conceptual relativity in Kant’s proposed solution. Furthermore, Putnam reads Kant as overcoming the pernicious scientific realist distinction between primary and secondary qualities, between things that really exist and their projections, a distinction that haunts modern philosophy. Putnam’s revitalisation of Kant is not just of historical interest, but challenges contemporary versions of scientific realism. Furthermore, Putnam has highlighted themes which have not received the attention they deserve in Kantian exegesis, namely, the problematic role of primary and secondary qualities in Kant’s empirical realism, and the extent of Kant’s commitment to conceptual pluralism. However, I argue that Putnam’s qualified allegiance to Kant exposes him to some of the same metaphysical problems that affected Kant, namely, the familiar problem of postulating an absolute reality (Ding an sich), while at the same time disavowing the meaningfulness of so doing. In conclusion I suggest that Putnam might consider Hegel’s attempts to solve this problem in Kant as a way of furthering his own natural realism. 1. INTRODUCTION: PUTNAM AND KANT Putnam’s central focus since 1976 has been an attempt to articulate a kind of realism which does not end up either falsifying the world, through a false extrapolation from the results of science, or losing it entirely in scepticism and relativism.

  • 2. Edmund Husserl by Dermot Moran in Sebastian Luft and Søren Overgaard, Eds., the Routledge Companion to Phenomenology
    2. Edmund Husserl By Dermot Moran In Sebastian Luft and Søren Overgaard, eds., The Routledge Companion to Phenomenology. London & New York: Routledge, 2011, pp. 28-39. As the leading theoretician of phenomenology as a radical “science of sciences” and as the founder of the phenomenological movement, Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) was one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Among his innovations are his generalization of Brentano's conception of intentionality, his account of categorical intuition, the identification of the natural attitude, the application of the procedures of the epoché and the transcendental-phenomenological reduction, noetic-noematic analysis, and his conceptions of the horizon) habituality and the pre-given "lifeworld” (Lebenswelt), Husserl's earlier descriptive phenomenology developed into full-blown transcendental idealism after 1907, causing many of his followers (including Heidegger) to reject his account of transcendental subjectivity, Husserl was born into a middle-class assimilated Jewish family on April 8, 1859, in Prossnitz, Moravia, then part of the Austrian Empire. His father owned a draper's store, Edmund initially attended a local school, then the Leopoldstädter Realgymnasium in Vienna and the Deutsches Staatsgymnasium in Olmütz. He graduated in 1876, showing some promise in mathematics, and entered the University of Leipzig to study mathematics, physics, and astronomy. There he attended Wilhelm Wundt's (1832-1920) philosophy lectures, which made little impression. Another philosophy student, Thomas Masaryk (1850-1937), the Czech nationalist who later became the first President of Czechoslovakia, encouraged him to read the British empiricists and was also influential in converting Husserl to Protestantism. In 1878 Husserl moved to Berlin to study mathematics with the prominent mathematicians Karl Weierstrass (1815-97) and Leopold Kronecker (1823-91).
