    Dialogues in Philosophy, Mental and Neuro Sciences Crossing Dialogues ORIGINAL ARTICLE

    Dialogues in Philosophy, Mental and Neuro Sciences Crossing Dialogues ORIGINAL ARTICLE Association The roots of psychopathological understanding: Karl Jaspers’ Verstehen and the infl uence of Moritz Geiger’s empathy Crossing Dialogues Association, Rome (Italy) M This paper presents the main contents of Geiger’s 1910 lecture on empathy and focuses on its possible infl uence on Jaspers’ General Psychopathology. In particular, some key methodological distinctions traced by Jaspers (explaining vs. understanding, static vs. genetic understanding, understandability vs. non-understandability) are compared to Geiger’s similar concepts. Geiger’s role in shaping Jaspers’ concept of understanding (and non-understandability) is still neglected and it is time to recognize it. In particular, Geiger’s distinction between the direct empathy for the other’s expressions at one side, and the ‘reliving after the event’ of the ‘inner correlation of the psyche’ on the other side had a major role in shaping Jaspers’ similar distinction between static and genetic understanding. Keywords: psychopathology, phenomenology, hermeneutics, history of psychiatry, Einfühlung. DIAL PHIL MENT NEURO SCI 2016; 9(2): 36-42 INTRODUCTION Understanding (Verstehen) is a crucial issue the psychological ground: in hermeneutics since Schleiermacher’s claim “a sensuous object distinct from me ‘expresses’ that its task is “to understand the discourse [ausdruckt] something interior or soul-like” (Lipps, just as well and even better than its creator” 1906, p.1). (Schleiermacher, 1819/1978, p.9). Empathy was the instrument humans have Through the epistemological debate that took in order to grasp the psychological level, and place in the second half of the nineteenth century according to Lipps there was a projection (known as the Methodenstreit), the following of the observer’s feelings onto the observed distinctions were fi nally imported into Karl Jaspers’ expressions.

    Íngrid Vendrell Ferran1 Geiger and Wollheim on Expressive Properties and Expressive Perception

    Studi di estetica, anno XLVII, IV serie, 2/2019 Sensibilia ISSN 0585-4733, ISSN digitale 1825-8646, DOI 10.7413/18258646094 Íngrid Vendrell Ferran1 Geiger and Wollheim on expressive properties and expressive perception Abstract The aim of this paper is to reconstruct Geiger’s realist and Wollheim’s projection- ist accounts on expressive properties and expressive perception by considering them within the larger contexts from which they emerged, by using as far as pos- sible a common language and by focusing on the questions of the nature of ex- pressive properties and of how we grasp them. My aim is to show that it is possi- ble to put into dialogue phenomenological and Anglo-American aesthetics and that this dialogue might lead to new insights about how we engage with art. Keywords Aesthetics, Realism, Projectionism 1. A dialogue between phenomenological and Anglo-American aesthetics In recent years, philosophers working in the field of aesthetics have become increasingly interested in explaining how we are able to per- ceive qualities expressing emotional states in both nature and works of art. We speak of the cheerfulness of a landscape, the serenity of a poem, the melancholy of a painting, the sadness of a film, and so on. These examples do not refer to the emotional expressions of particu- lar humans, or human-like figures or animals appearing in these works, but to properties which seem to be expressed by natural ob- jects and by art works themselves. Contemporary philosophers em- ploy different names to refer to this phenomenon. On the one hand, authors inspired by the phenomenological tradition deploy the con- cepts of “moods”, “atmospheres” and “characters”; they also speak of “quasi objective feelings” and of “half-things”.

Mulligan, ed., Speech Act and Sachverhalt: Reinach and the Foundations of Realist Phenomenology, Dordrecht/Boston/Lancaster: Nijhoff, 1987, 1–27. §1 PROLOGUE As early as 1741 a Jekel Reinach is mentioned in the Memory Book of the Jewish community in Mainz, and by the end of the century the Reinachs were already one of the most notable and well-to-do Jewish families in the city.2 The Record of Names of 1808 lists Salomon (formerly Seligmann) Reinach, Jacques (Mayer Herz) Reinach, Marx (Mayer Herz) Reinach, and Bernard Jacques (Beer Jacob) Reinach.3 The descendants of Jacques Reinach spread from Mainz to Frankfurt and from there to Paris. His grandson Adolf von Reinach (1814-1879), Belgian consul in Frankfurt, was created an Italian Baron in 1866, and founded 1 The few existing published biographies of Reinach are, if not unreliable (Oesterreicher 1952), then at best very succinct (Avé-Lallemant 1975, 172-74, Crosby 1983, XI-X). In compiling the present essay we have used in particular Reinach’s letters to Husserl (Husserl Archives) and to Conrad and Daubert (Bavarian State Library, Munich). We draw further on Avé-Lallemant’s Catalogue of the Münchener Phänomenologennachlässe, on Schuhmann’s Husserl-Chronik (The Hague: Nijhoff, 1977), and on the pertinent Vorlesungsverzeichnisse of the University of Göttingen. We have also profited from the “Historical Introduction” to Brettler 1974, 1-15. References not given in full here are to be found in the Reinach bibliography on pp. 299-332 below. We would like to thank the Bavarian State Library, the Husserl Archives, Louvain, and Oberarchivrat Schütz of the Stadtarchiv Mainz for providing copies of relevant materials.
  • A Phenomenological Critique of the Idea of Social Science

    A Phenomenological Critique of the Idea of Social Science

    A Phenomenological Critique of the Idea of Social Science Jonathan D. F. Tuckett 17/11/2014 Submitted for the Degree of Ph.D. in Religious Studies School of Literature and Languages Religion University of Stirling Abstract Social science is in crisis. The task of social science is to study “man in situation”: to understand the world as it is for “man”. This thesis charges that this crisis consists in a failure to properly address the philosophical anthropological question “What is man?”. The various social scientific methodologies who have as their object “man” suffer rampant disagreements because they presuppose, rather than consider, what is meant by “man”. It is our intention to show that the root of the crisis is that social science can provide no formal definition of “man”. In order to understand this we propose a phenomenological analysis into the essence of social science. This phenomenological approach will give us reason to abandon the (sexist) word “man” and instead we will speak of wer: the beings which we are. That we have not used the more usual “human being” (or some equivalent) is due to the human prejudice which is one of the major constituents of this crisis we seek to analyse. This thesis is divided into two Parts: normative and evaluative. In the normative Part we will seek a clarification of both “phenomenology” and “social science”. Due to the various ways in which “phenomenology” has been invented we must secure a simipliciter definition of phenomenology as an approach to philosophical anthropology (Chapter 2). Importantly, we will show how the key instigators of the branches of phenomenology, Husserl, Scheler, Heidegger, and Sartre, were all engaged in this task.

We have valuable writings from female philosophers from Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and a continuous tradition from the Renaissance to today. The history of women philosophers thus stretches back as far as the history of philosophy itself. The presence as well as the absence of women philosophers throughout the course of history parallels the history of philosophy as a whole. Edith Stein, Hannah Arendt and Simone de Beauvoir, the most famous represen- tatives of this tradition in the twentieth century, did not appear form nowhere. They stand, so to speak, on the shoulders of the female titans who came before them. The series Women Philosophers and Scientists published by Springer will be of interest not only to the international philosophy community, but also for scholars in history of science and mathematics, the history of ideas, and in women’s studies.

In the meantime new literature appeared on the theme, especially Vogt 2002 and Hausmann 2003. Whereas Hausmann tackled the task from the viewpoint of American Studies in Germany, though adding a number of new sources, Vogts writes as a historian of philosophy without considering any archival files concerning the Baumgarten case. I will not only comment on these works, but also add some new sources from the Göttingen university archive and its library. I thank Prof. Robert P.

University Archivist Christopher Densmore and I identified four previously unpublished lettere from Stein to Marvin Farber, which were then brought to the attention of the Archivum Carmelitanum Edith Stein in Cologne, Germany and subsequently appeared in the new edition of Stein's Selbstbildnis in Briefen2. Elsewhere over the past five years I have published a few brief excerpts from these letters and other accompanying 1 Sr. Josephine Koeppel, OCD, is a Discalced Carmelite nun of the community of Elysburg, PA, and the English language translator of sev­ eral volumes of the works of Edith Stein for ICS Publications. She has provided the English translation of the four Stein letters (actually two letters and two postcards) found in the SUNY-Buffalo Archives, as well as the passage from Husserl quoted by Fritz Kaufmann in his letter of 9-11 September 1945, below. The present article is dedicated to the memory of my brother John Payne, who died shortly before my visit to the archives. 2 A new expanded edition of Edith Steins collected letters can be found in volumes 2 to 4 of Verlag Herder s "Edith Stein Gesamtausgabe” series; see Edith Stein, Selbstbildnis in Briefen, I-III (Herder: Freiburg, 2000-2001).

    Dialogues in Philosophy, Mental and Neuro Sciences Crossing Dialogues ORIGINAL ARTICLE Association An introduction to Moritz Geiger’s psychological contribution on empathy FLORIAN GÖDEL Friedrich-Schiller-Universität, Jena (Germany) Moritz Geiger is known for his work in aesthetics, while his contribution to psychology is rarely cited. There are biographical as well as theoretical reasons for this. However, his project of a Phenomenological Psychology of “pure self-given factuality”, in contrast to Husserl’s idealism of consciousness, deserves to be re-discovered. Here an early work on empathy is briefl y presented and discussed in the context of Geiger’s life and theoretical development, arguing that later ideas are already present in this contribution, although only later they will be developed more deeply. Key words: Empathy, psychology, philosophy, phenomenology. DIAL PHIL MENT NEURO SCI 2015; 8(1):16-18 INTRODUCTION The name of Moritz Geiger does not appear of a maximum of factuality [...].
