Gamez Philosophyphd.Pdf i ii Abstract This project examines two problems in philosophy: The problem of a self-reflexive theory which interprets the world in a way which makes theorising impossible (the collapsing hermeneutic circle) and the problem of a multiplicity of incompatible theories (positive scepticism). When we interpret the world we are also interpreting ourselves as well. This hermeneutic circle collapses when our theory about the world cancels out our interpretation of ourselves as interpreters. On the one hand we have a world from which we have become absent; on the other hand this world is a theory which depends upon our existence as interpreters. One solution to this paradox is to keep hold of the idea that we are interpreters of the world, and discard theories about the world which threaten this interpretation. Certain theories become impossible (but not necessarily false). Alternatively, we can keep hold of the theories which make theorising impossible. This preserves theories which are useful to us, but pays the price of a fundamental incoherence. When people interpret the world they come up with a number of different interpretations. Sometimes these conflict with one another. At other times there is not enough similarity between them for anything like conflict to go on at. all. Positive scepticism describes this labyrinth of aspects without mediating between the different claims that each aspect makes. This strategy enables positive scepticism to survey a multiplicity of worldviews, but leads it into problems when the situated nature of its own aspect becomes apparent. This forces positive scepticism either to paradoxically endorse its own aspect or to dismiss itself and embrace one of the aspects around it. These problems are explored in two ways in this project. In the first two chapters they are described analytically. In the third chapter they are demonstrated concretely in a study of madness. iii This is the perfectly pure demonstration of the perfection of wisdom. No one has demonstrated it, no one has received it, no one has realized it. And since no one has realized it, no one has therein gone to final Nirvana. Nor has this demonstration of Dharma ever made anyone worthy of gifts. The Large Sutra on Perfect Wisdom, p. 311. I listen and the voice is of a world collapsing endlessly, a frozen world, under a faint untroubled sky, enough to see by, yes, and frozen too. And I hear it murmur that all wilts and yields, as if loaded down, but here there are no loads, and the ground too, unfit for loads, and the light too, down towards an end it seems can never come. For what possible end to these wastes where true light never was, nor any upright thing, nor any true foundation, but only those leaning things, forever lapsing and crumbling away, beneath a sky without memory of morning or hope of night. These things, what things, come from where, made of what? And it says that here nothing stirs, has ever stirred, will ever stir, except myself, who do not stir either, when I am there, but see and am seen. Yes a world at an end, in spite of appearances, its end brought it forth, ending it began, is it clear enough? And I too am at an end when I am there, my eyes close, my sufferings cease and I end, I wither as the living can not. And if I went on listening to that far whisper, silent long since and which I still hear, I would learn still more about this.

Above all I would like to acknowledge my father and mother who have supported me both financially and emotionally throughout this PhD. Without them I would never have come to Essex and my work would have lacked all the stimulus and feedback that I have gained from this environment. I would also like to thank my supervisor, Simon Critchley, for finding a way for my work to become a PhD and for suggestions that have improved this project in countless ways. A thank you also to everyone else at Essex for your invaluable feedback and advice; especially Lucia Pizarro for two years of support and encouragement, and Havi Carel for checking through the final draft and making helpful comments. vii A Few General Points Regarding Style and Content Before I embark upon this project and sail off into a dark and stormy sea of theory it will be helpful to clarify a few points about the way in which it is put together. To begin with, few (if any) of the theories within this project are my own. This project is a phenomenology of theory; a description of the multiplicity of ways in which we interpret the world and a study of their collapse. Most of the theories cited here are illustrations for the description that I am undertaking, and for the most part they are taken from our culture and philosophical tradition. Positive scepticism was inspired by Pyrrhonism and the homogenous zone was taken from a strand of thought within psychoanalysis. What is important here is not the theories themselves but the way in which they are pushed hard and torn apart at their limits. In many ways what I am engaged in here is similar to deconstruction – but this is a deconstruction of analytical theories and not continental texts.1 Second, there is my use of quotations. At times I use quotations to illustrate scholarly points. In this context I will either explicitly discuss the content of the quotation, or make the relationship between it and the main text self-evident. At other times I use quotations to illustrate the general direction of what I am saying, but without an explicit discussion of them in the main text. In the this case they are being used both to clarify the point that I am making - by pointing to an author who explains it in greater detail - and also to acknowledge that what I am saying has already been dealt with before. These quotations are intended to be both a distillation and an elaboration of what I am attempting to communicate in the main viii text, and although their explicit content will help to understand the main text, it would be better to look at the texts that they are taken from for a further elaboration of the point being made. Ideally these quotations would be hyperlinks that you could click on to move to the original works.2 Finally, there are two different ways in which I use footnotes. To preserve the flow of the argument I decided to place a lot of the scholarly material in extended footnotes on the right hand side of the page. Here you will find discussions of secondary sources and problems that there was not space for in the main text. At the bottom of the page are the usual footnotes, which provide clarifications and references that are more directly related to the central argument. Now faithful reader, the safety instructions are over; you can sit back, stretch your feet out, and enjoy the ride! 1 Even the theories of relativism and hermeneutic collapse are not my own since they came from the culture that I was thrown into. What I am doing might best be described as Western culture talking about itself. 2 Michel de Montaigne and Walter Benjamin use quotations in a similar way. For Benjamin’s use of quotations see Hannah Arendt’s introduction to Benjamin’s Illuminations (New York: Schocken Books, 1968). 1 Limits Insight into the multiple ambiguity of philosophizing acts as a deterrent [abschrekend] and ultimately betrays the entire fruitlessness of such activity. It would be a misunderstanding if we wished in the slightest to weaken this impression of the hopelessness of philosophizing, or to mediate it belatedly by indicating that in the end things are not so bad after all, that philosophy has achieved many things in the history of mankind, and so on. This is merely idle talk that talks in a direction leading away from philosophy. We must rather uphold and hold out in this terror.1 t a certain point, most philosophical discussions torture themselves with a plurality of self-enclosed and self-justifying theoretical positions. At other junctures, dizzying paradoxes of self-reflexivity bring reflection to a standstill. This project is an investigation into these strange, contradictory, self-undermining limit points. Hyper self-reflexivity will be described using the notion of a stable and collapsing hermeneutic circle. Stable hermeneutic circles can account for the presence of theory in the world. Collapsing hermeneutic circles cannot. These invisible theories claim that theory is impossible. The plurality of worldviews will be described using the notion of an aspect.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Closure A Story of Everything by Hilary Lawson Closure : A Story of Everything PDF. For over 2000 years our culture has believed in the possibility of a single true account of the world. Now this age is coming to a close. As a result there is a deep unease. We are lost both as individuals, and as a culture. In the new relativistic, post-modern era, we have no history, no right or moral action, and no body of knowledge. In their place is a plethora of alternative, and sometimes incompatible theories from 'fuzzy logic' to 'consilience' proposing a theory of everything. Closure is a response to this crisis. It is a radically new story about the nature of ourselves and of the world. Closure exposes the central questions of contemporary philosophy: language and meaning, of the individual and identity, of truth and reality, but it is also philosophical in the broader everyday sense that it enables us to make sense of where and who we are. A central principle, the process of closure, is shown to be at the heart of experience and language. As a theory of knowledge it has dramatic consequences for our understanding of the sciences, involving a reinterpretation of what science does and how it is able to do it. It similarly proposes a profound shift in the role of art and religion. But, above all, it reshapes our understanding of ourselves and the organisation of society, our goals and our capacity to achieve them. A superb new account of how order is created out of disorder, Closure is an exhilarating work of conceptual geography.

  • Legal Writing As a Kind of Philosophy'
    Legal Writing as a Kind of Philosophy' by Joel I. Cornwell* Perhaps what is inexpressible (what I find mysterious and am not able to express) is the background against which whatever I could express has its meaning. -Ludwig Wittgenstein' Literary theory can be said to come into being when the approach to literary texts is no longer based on non-linguistic, that is to say historical and aesthetic, considerations or, to put it somewhat less crudely, when the object of discussion is no longer the meaning or the value but the modalities of production and of reception of meaning and of value prior to their establishment-the implication being that this establishment is problematic enough to require an autonomous discipline of critical investigation to consider its possibility and its status. -Paul de Man2 I. INTRODUCTION Post-structuralist theories of textual meaning have been integrated into legal education in various ways, notably through the influence of the I The title is a play on Richard Rorty's essay on Derrida,Philosophy as a Kind of Writing: An Essay on Derrida, in RICHARD RORTY, CONSEQUENCES OF PRAGMATISM 90 (1982).

And with it our beliefs and values. This year’s HowtheLightGetsIn theme is ‘New Gods: Icons and Ideas in a Changed World’. Are the great narratives that have built and sustained the West under threat? And, if so, what are the new gods that will replace them? This year we have a whole new field to add to our festival space, with new venues and a wider and larger range of events. Although the festival site and the programme continue to grow apace, we are determined to keep the informal atmosphere and the intimate feel that has made HowTheLightGetsIn such a special event. Our line up of philosophers, writers, politicians, scientists, musicians and performers includes many names you will recognise, but HowTheLightGetsIn is not about celebrity: it’s about ideas and playfulness. Our events are the backdrop to creating a space where real conversation and genuine human interaction can take place. And it’s not all going to be cerebral. There will be music and bands and parties into the night, along with documentary screenings, comedy nights, and free acoustic events all day every day.

  • Post-Modernism and the Recovery of the Philosophical Tradition
    Animus 1 (1996) www.swgc.mun.ca/animus Post-Modernism And The Recovery Of The Philosophical Tradition © F. L. Jackson Introduction As century and millennium draw to a close the paradoxical thought preoccupying philosophers is whether or how philosophy is at an end. According to the now common opinion - among many academic philosophers, indeed, a certainty - the ideal of a universal knowledge through principles, philosophia, has long since been exposed as spurious so that no person of right mind would nowadays recognize or indulge in it as a legitimate pursuit. For the new philosophers the fact is that "philosophy" as traditionally understood is a thinking no longer relevant for a post-modern consciousness and world; if it might still have a role it can only be in some radically attenuated sense: as writing its own obituary, clearing away of the rubble of its own ruined foundations, speculating as to what it might now mean to live and think post-philosophically. That the philosophical legacy has become moribund would certainly appear confirmed in the universities, where the former queen of the faculties has long been deposed and the view of philosophy as an obsolete discipline is so broadly established that even full professors of philosophy are rendered mute by the question as to why it should even be taught at all, much less what its proper curriculum should be. In the general culture too the appeal to rational grounds is viewed as un-chic, if not indecent; a moralistic presumption prevails that equates the naive appeal to principles with allegiance to established religions: as indicative of an atavistic and reactionary turn of mind.

  • Applied Nietzsche the Problem of Reflexivity in Habermas, a Postmodern Critique
    APPLIED NIETZSCHE THE PROBLEM OF REFLEXIVITY IN HABERMAS, A POSTMODERN CRITIQUE DEAN PICKARD Claremont Graduate School 1 will be concerned here with the issue of the self-referential or reflexive nature of reason that Nitezsche's perspectivism and anti- foundationalism illuminates. I will apply Nietzsche's anti- foundationalism and his insights about language and reason to a contemporary attempt by Jürgen Habermas to once again ground morality in necessary conditions of reason, this time beyond subjectivist epistemology on purported necessary conditions of speech. The chapter will conclude with a similar application of related insights from Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations and On Certainty. I. Postmodernism1 and Reflexivity One of the most powerful recent attempts to salvage a modernist demand for moral necessity in a postmodern form is in the work of Jürgen Habermas. Habermas sees his work as "postmodern" because he has jettisoned any epistemology based on a philosophy of the subject and moved to communication and language as the appropriate place for grounding any claim and demand of rationality for moral ought. Habermas's argument against other postmodernists, particularly poststructualists,2 rests largely on the self-contradictoriness he finds in 1 Ignoring the well known problems of the term "postmodernism," a number of strands have converged, loosely to be sure, which can be included under the rubric "philosophical postmodernism." These include American Pragmatism, Heidegger and post-Husserlain phenomenology, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Dcrrida, Richard Rorty, and others. Nietzsche does share something in common with this group and it is this commonality with regard to anti-foundationalism that will be the major focus here.
