Hermeneutic philosophies of social science offer an approach to the
philosophy of social science foregrounding the human subject and
including attention to history as well as a methodological
reflection on the notion of reflection, including the intrusions of
distortions and prejudice. Hermeneutic philosophies of social
science offer an explicit orientation to and concern with the
subject of the human and social sciences. Hermeneutic philosophies
of the social science represented in the present collection of
essays draw inspiration from Gadamer's work as well as from Paul
Ricoeur in addition to Michel de Certeau and Michel Foucault among
others. Special attention is given to Wilhelm Dilthey in addition
to the broader phenomenological traditions of Edmund Husserl and
Martin Heidegger as well as the history of philosophy in Plato and
Descartes. The volume is indispensible reading for students and
scholars interested in epistemology, philosophy of science, social
social studies of knowledge as well as social studies of
technology.
Gunther Anders' Philosophy of Technology is the first comprehensive
exploration of the ground-breaking work of German thinker Gunther
Anders. Anders' philosophy has become increasingly prescient in our
digitised, technological age as his work predicts the prevalence of
social media, ubiquitous surveillance and the turn to big data.
Anders' ouevre also explored the technologies of nuclear power and
the biotech concerns for the human and transhuman condition which
have become so central to current theory. Babette Babich argues
that Anders offers important resources on streaming digital media
through his writings on radio, television and film and is,
unusually, both a comprehensive and profound thinker. Anders'
relationship with key philosophers like Hannah Arendt and Walter
Benjamin and his thinking on Goethe, Nietzsche and Rilke is also
explored with a focus on the deep impact he made on his peers. It
reflects specifically on the intersection of Anders' thought
Heidegger and the Frankfurt school and how influential a figure he
was on the landscape of 20th century philosophy. A compelling
rehabilitation of a thinker with profound contemporary relevance.
Thisbook offers new reflections on the life world, from both
phenomenological and hermeneutic perspectives. It presents a prism
for a new philosophy of science and technology, especially
including the social sciences but also the environment as well as
questions of ethics and philosophical aesthetics in addition to
exploring the themes of theology and religion.
Inspired by the many contributions made by the philosopher
Joseph Kockelmans, this book examines the past, present and future
prospects of hermeneutic phenomenology. It raises key questions of
truth and method as well as highlights both continental and
analytic traditions of philosophy.
Contributors to "The Multidimensionality of Hermeneutic
Phenomenology" include leading scholars in the field as well as new
voices representing analytic philosophers of science, hermeneutic
and phenomenological philosophers of science, scholars of
comparative literature, theorists of environmental studies,
specialists in phenomenological ethics and experts in classical
hermeneutics."
We are facing an environmental crisis that some say is ushering a
new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, one that threatens not only
a great deal of life on the planet but also our understanding of
who we are and our relation to the natural world. In the face of
this crisis it has become clear that we need a more sustainable
culture. In fact the language of sustainability has become
pervasive in our culture and has deeply ingrained itself in our
understanding of what living a good life would entail.
"Sustainability," however, is a contested word, and it carries with
it, often implicitly and unacknowledged, deep philosophical claims
that are entangled with all kinds of assumptions and power
relations, some of them very problematic. This book attempts to set
this urgent goal of sustainability free from its more reductive and
harmful interpretations and to thereby apply a more thoughtful
environmental ethics to current and emerging technologies,
particularly those involving reproduction and the harnessing of
energy that dominate our elemental relations to sun and air, wind
and water, earth and forest. The book is divided into 4 sections:
(1) Sustainability: A Contested Term, (2) Sustainability and
Renewable Technologies: Sun, Air, Wind, Water, (3) Sustainability
and Design, and (4) Sustainability and Ethics. The first section
sets the context for our studies and opens a space for thinking
sustainability in a more thoughtful way than is often the case in
contemporary discussions. The next two sections are the heart of
our contribution to postphenomenology and technoscience, and the
essays, here, turn to concrete examinations of particular
technologies and questions of technological design in the light of
our environmental crisis. The fourth section closes the book by
drawing some more general implications for ethics from the
intersection of the foregoing themes.
Das vorliegende Buch bietet hermeneutische und phanomenologische
Reflexionen uber das Kunstwerk aus der Sicht sowohl des Kunstlers -
als Schaffendem - als auch des Rezipienten. Eroertert werden die
Materialitat des Kunstwerks, Bronze, Marmor, Farbe und Klang sowie
die Frage nach Nietzsches Artistenmetaphysik. In einem Kernkapitel
wird eine neue Lesart von Nietzsches Zarathustra und dessen
plastischem Begriff des Erhabenen vorgestellt. Auf Basis von
Elementen der klassischen kritischen Theorie werden wiederum
Nietzsche und Marx gegeneinander gelesen. Die letzten Kapitel
zeigen ein nahezu erotisches Spannungsverhaltnis auf zwischen
Nietzsche und Georges Batailles " Wille zur Chance " sowie der
Erfindung der Frau bei Simone de Beauvoir. Die UEberlegungen
schliessen mit einem esoterischen Blick auf Nietzsches Lehre von
der Ewigen Wiederkunft.
Patrick Aidan Heelan's The Observable offers the reader a
completely articulated development of his 1965 philosophy of
quantum physics, Quantum Mechanics and Objectivity. In this
previously unpublished study dating back more than a half a
century, Heelan brings his background as both a physicist and a
philosopher to his reflections on Werner Heisenberg's physical
philosophy. Including considerably broader connections to the
contributions of Niels Bohr, Wolfgang Pauli, and Albert Einstein,
this study also reflects Heelan's experience in Eugene Wigner's
laboratory at Princeton along with his reflections on working with
Erwin Schroedinger dating from Heelan's years at the Institute for
Advanced Cosmology in Dublin. A contribution to continental
philosophy of science, the phenomenological and hermeneutic
resources applied in this book to the physical and ontological
paradoxes of quantum physics, especially in connection with
laboratory science and measurement, theory and model making, will
enrich students of the history of science as well as those
interested in different approaches to the historiography of
science. University courses in the philosophy of physics will find
this book indispensable as a resource and invaluable for courses in
the history of science.
This book studies the working efficacy of Leonard Cohen's song
Hallelujah in the context of today's network culture. Especially as
recorded on YouTube, k.d. lang's interpretation(s) of Cohen's
Hallelujah, embody acoustically and visually/viscerally, what
Nietzsche named the 'spirit of music'. Today, the working of music
is magnified and transformed by recording dynamics and mediated via
Facebook exchanges, blog postings and video sites. Given the
sexual/religious core of Cohen's Hallelujah, this study poses a
phenomenological reading of the objectification of both men and
women, raising the question of desire, including gender issues and
both homosexual and heterosexual desire. A review of critical
thinking about musical performance as 'currency' and consumed
commodity takes up Adorno's reading of Benjamin's analysis of the
work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction as applied to
music/radio/sound and the persistent role of 'recording
consciousness'. Ultimately, the question of what Nietzsche called
the becoming-human-of-dissonance is explored in terms of both
ancient tragedy and Beethoven's striking deployment of dissonance
as Nietzsche analyses both as playing with suffering, discontent,
and pain itself, a playing for the sake not of language or sense
but musically, as joy.
This astonishingly rich volume collects the work of an
international group of scholars, including some of the best known
in academia. Experts in ethics, epistemology, philosophy of mind,
political theory, aesthetics, history, critical theory, and
hermeneutics bring to light the best philosophical scholarship what
is arguably Friedrich Nietzsche's most rewarding but most
challenging text. Including essays that were commissioned
specifically for the volume as well as essays revised and edited by
their authors, this collection showcases definitive works that have
shaped Nietzsche studies alongside new works of interest to
students and experts alike. Sections are devoted to the topic of
genealogy generally, numerous essays on specific passages,
applications of genealogy in later thinkers, and the import of
Nietzsche's Genealogy in contemporary politics, ethics, and
aesthetics. A lengthy introduction, annotated bibliography, and
index make this an extremely useful guide for the classroom and
advanced research.
