Joseph 1. Kockelmans Pennsylvania State University In July of 1999,
Prof. Dr. Thomas M. Seebohm turned 65 years old, and thus en tered
mandatory retirement. His friends, colleagues, and former students
thought that it would be fitting to celebrate the event of his
retirement with a volume of essays in his honor, in order to render
homage to a great human being, an outstanding and dedicated
teacher, a highly regarded philosopher and scholar, but above all a
dear friend and colleague. When the editors thought about a
unifying theme for the anthology, they finally settled on the
research interests of Professor Seebohm; in their view the vast do
main of his competence and interests would leave all participants
the freedom to select a topic of their own choice that would
nonetheless lie within this large realm as well as within the area
of their own research interests. Professor Seebohm's research
interests encompass work in Phenomenology, Hermeneutics, German
Idealism (Kant in particular), History of Philosophy, Phi losophy
of the formal sciences (of Logic in particular), Philosophy of
History, Methodology and Philosophy of the Human Sciences,
(including Psychology and Sociology), History of 19th Century
British Empiricism (Mill), American Pragma tism, Analytic
Philosophy, Philosophy of Law and Practical Philosophy, the devel
opment of the history of philosophy in Eastern Europe, especially
in the Middle Ages, but also in the nineteenth century."
These essays span a period of fourteen years. The earliest was
written in 1960, the latest in 1983. They all represent various
attempts to understand the motives and the central concepts of
Husserl's transcen dental phenomenology, and to locate the latter
in the background of other varieties of transcendental philosophy.
Implicitly, they also con tain a defense of transcendental
philosophy, and make attempts to respond to the more familiar
criticisms against it. It is hoped that they will contribute to a
better understanding not only of Husserl's transcen dental
phenomenology but also of transcendental philosophy in gener al.
The ordering of the essays is not chronological. They are rather
divided thematically into three groups. The first group of six
essays is concerned with relating Husserlian phenomenology to more
contem porary analytic concerns: in fact, the opening essay on
Husserl and Frege establishes a certain continuity of concern with
my last published book with that title. Of these, Essay 2 was
written for an American Philosophical Association, Eastern Division
symposium in which the other symposiast was John Searle. The
discussion in that symposium concentrated chiefly on the relation
between intentionality and causali ty - which led me to write Essay
6, later read as the Gurwitsch Memo rial Lecture at the Society for
Phenomenology and Existential Philos ophy meetings in 1982 at Penn
State."
The Encyclopedia of Phenomenology presents phenomenological thought
and the phenomenological movement within philosophy and within more
than a score of other disciplines on a level accessible to
professional colleagues of other orientations as well as to
advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Entries average 3,000
words. In practically all cases, they include lists of works For
Further Study'. The Introduction briefly chronicles the changing
phenomenological agenda and compares phenomenology with other 20th
Century movements. The 166 entries are about matters of seven
sorts: the four broad tendencies and periods within the
phenomenological movement; twenty-three national traditions of
phenomenology; twenty-two philosophical sub-disciplines, including
those referred to with the formula the philosophy of x';
phenomenological tendencies within twenty-one non-philosophical
disciplines; forty major phenomenological topics; twenty-eight
leading phenomenological figures; and twenty-seven
non-phenomenological figures and movements of interesting
similarities and differences with phenomenology. Concerning
persons, years of birth and death are given upon first mention in
an entry of the names of deceased non-phenomenologists. The names
of persons believed to be phenomenologists and also, for
cross-referencing purposes, the titles of other entries are printed
entirely in SMALL CAPITAL letters, also upon first mention. In
addition, all words thus occurring in all small capital letters are
listed in the index with the numbers of all pages on which they
occur. To facilitate indexing, Chinese, Hungarian and Japanese
names have been re-arranged so that the personal name precedes the
family name.Concerning works referred to, the complete titles of
books and articles are given in the original language or in a
transliteration into Roman script, followed by literalistic
translations and the year of original publication in parentheses
or, where the date of composition is substantially earlier than
that of publication, by the year of composition between brackets.
This volume is a collection of my essays on philosophy of logic
from a phenomenological perspective. They deal with the four kinds
of logic I have been concerned with: formal logic, transcendental
logic, speculative logic and hermeneutic logic. Of these, only one,
the essay on Hegel, touches upon 'speculative logic', and two,
those on Heidegger and Konig, are concerned with hermeneutic logic.
The rest have to do with Husser and Kant. I have not tried to show
that the four logics are compatible. I believe, they are--once they
are given a phenomenological underpinning. The original plan of
writing an Introduction in which the issues would have to be
formulated, developed and brought together, was abandoned in favor
of writing an Introductory Essay on the 'origin'- in the
phenomenological sense -of logic. J.N.M. Philadelphia INTRODUCTION:
THE ORIGIN OF LOGIC The question of the origin of logic may pertain
to historical origin (When did it all begin? Who founded the
science of logic?), psychological origin (When, in the course of
its mental development, does the child learn logical operations?),
cultural origin (What cultural - theological, metaphysical and
linguisti- conditions make such a discipline as logic possible?),
or transcendental constitutive origin (What sorts of acts and/or
practices make logic possible?)."
In this work I have tried to present HusserI's Philosophy of
thinking and meaning in as clear a manner as I can. In doing this,
I had in mind a two-fold purpose. I wanted on the one hand to
disentangle what I have come to regard as the central line of
thought from the vast mass of details of the Logische Unter
suchungen and the Formale und transzendentale Logik. On the other
hand, I tried to take into consideration the immense developments
in logic and semantics that have taken place since HusserI's major
logical studies were published. It is my belief that no one to day
can look back upon the philosophers of the past except in the light
of the admirable progress achieved and consolidated in the fields
of logic and semantics in recent times. Fortunately enough, from
this point of view HusserI fares remarkably well. He certainly
anticipated many of those recent investigations. What is more, a
true understanding and appraisal of his logical studies is not
possible except in the light of the corresponding modern
investigations. This last consider ation may provide us with some
explanation of the rather puzzling fact that orthodox HusserIian
scholarship both within and outside Germany has not accorded to his
logical studies the central importance that they, from all points
of view, unmis takeably deserve."

In this comprehensive textbook, renowned philosopher J. N. Mohanty
examines the range of Indian philosophy from the Sutra period
through the 17th century Navya Nyaya. Classical Indian Philosophy
is divided into three parts that cover epistemology, metaphysics,
and the attempt to transcend the distinction between subject and
object. Instead of concentrating on the different systems, Mohanty
focuses on the major concepts and problems dealt with in Indian
philosophy. The book includes discussions of Indian ethics and
social philosophy, as well as of Indian law and aesthetics.
Classical Indian Philosophy is essential reading for students of
Indian philosophy at every level.
Philosophical Questions: East and West is an anthology of source
material for use in comparative courses in philosophy, religion,
and the humanities. The readings derived from the great works of
the Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Islamic, and Western intellectual
traditions are presented as answers to some of the most enduring
questions in philosophy. Discussions are arranged under the
headings of epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of
religion, aesthetics, and the nature of human being. Each section
begins with an introductory essay in which the leading questions
and their responses from different traditions are presented in
overview.Philosophical Questions raises the central questions of
comparative philosophy and eloquently argues the need for
discarding familiar cliches to make a fresh, unprejudiced study of
these traditions.
In his award-winning book "The Philosophy of Edmund Husserl: A
Historical Development," J. N. Mohanty charted Husserl's
philosophical development from the young man's earliest
studies--informed by his work as a mathematician--to the
publication of his "Ideas" in 1913. In this welcome new volume, the
author takes up the final decades of Husserl's life, addressing the
work of his Freiburg period, from 1916 until his death in 1938.
As in his earlier work, Mohanty here offers close readings of
Husserl's main texts accompanied by accurate summaries, informative
commentaries, and original analyses. This book, along with its
companion volume, completes the most up-to-date, well-informed, and
comprehensive account ever written on Husserl's phenomenological
philosophy and its development.

Most of the essays that follow have originally appeared in
philosophical journals, Indian and Western. They are reprinted here
with the hope that in spite of the wide variety of topics with
which they deal there is nevertheless a certain unity of treatment.
A few major ideas and distinctions run through all the essays: I
need not further single them out here. For permission to reprint, I
have to thank the editors of the journals and books in which the
essays originally appeared. My former pupil Miss Manjusree Ray has
been kind enough to help me in preparing the book for the press. J.

I Edmund Husserl's Logische Untersuchungen is, by any standard and
also by nearly common consent, a great philosophical work. Within
the phenom enological movement, it is generally recognised that the
breakthrough to pure phenomenology - not merely to eidetic
phenomenology, but also to transcendental phenomenology - was first
made in these investiga tions. But in the context of philosophy of
logic and also of theory of know ledge in general, these
investigations took decisive steps forward. Amongst their major
achievements generally recognised are of course: the final
death-blow to psychologism as a theory of logic in the Prolegomena,
a new conception of analyticity which vastly improves upon Kant's,
a theory of meaning which is many-sided in scope and widely
ramified in its appli cations, a conception of pure logical grammar
that eventually became epoch-making, a powerful restatement of the
conception of truth in terms of 'evidence' and a theory of
knowledge in terms of the dynamic movement from empty intention to
graduated fulfillment. There are many other detailed arguments,
counter-arguments, conceptual distinctions and phenomenolo gical
descriptions which deserve the utmost attention, examination and
assimilation on the part of any serious investigator. With the
publication of J. N. Findlay's English translation of the
Untersuchungen, it is expected that this work will find its proper
place in the curriculum of the graduate programs in philosophy in
the English speaking world."
The author applies the methods of latest linguistic analysis to the
Indian theories of reality and the relation between language and
reality. Special attention is given to the Advaita Ved?nta and the
Buddhist theories. The proper methods of philosophy, according to
the author, is the logical analysis of language. In these essays he
shows how this method is fruitfully employed in Vedanta and
Buddhist philosophies. He also shows how the key Advaita concepts
of "avidy? and "adhy?sa are results of logical analysis of ordinary
propositional forms of cognitions, and not metaphysical theses
about a transcendent reality.
Of the eight essays collected in this volume five deal with Advaita
Ved?nta three of which directly interpret ?amkara, the two others
interpret the great Advaita philosopher Vidy?ranya. There is also
an essay on the logical basis of the Buddhist "apoha theory. The
concluding essay on "Spirit, Machine and Man" argues against the
two extreme conceptions of man: materialistic and idealistic, and
argues for the priority of a concept of person.
