Transcendental History defends the claim that historicality is the
very condition for human knowledge. By explaining this thesis, and
by tracing its development from Kant and Hegel to Derrida and
Agamben, this book enriches our understanding of the history of
philosophy and contributes to epistemology and the philosophy of
history.
'Transcendental History' defends the claim that historicality is

The articles in this final volume fall into two main themes,
lifestyle and medical paradigms. By using lifestyle as the point of
departure for describing the use and users of alternative
treatment, research moves beyond the traditional scientific
research categories. Alternative treatments foremost function is
thus perceived to be the creation of identity. The scientific
theoretical concept of paradigm leads the discussion to
differentiate between conventional and alternative treatment seen
in relation to the basic science or knowledge behind them. How is
it possible to characterise an eventual break with tradition?
Finally, this volume of Studies presents several documents related
to the termination of INRAT; an article concerning the
methodological problems connected with the network's research area,
a series of abstracts on methodology submitted by network
participants, and the organising committee's final report on the
research project to the Research Council of the Humanities in
Denmark.
This volume combines a number of examinations of alternative
therapies, in widely diverging contexts, under the title of
communication. The contributions discuss the difficult question of
communication or non-communication between East and West, or
between the alternative and the established, in both therapeutic
and scientific worlds. In addition, the discussion of the body, or
of nature itself, as a communicating medium, in command of its own
organising and healing resources, is breached. This third volume
contains contributions from areas such as psychology, sociology,
anthropology, medicine, and natural science. In 1995, the three
year old International Network for Research on Alternative
Therapies invited outstanding international researchers to present
their work under the heading, "Communication in and about
Alternative Therapies". The most significant results of that
seminar, held in Copenhagen, are published here.
Transcendental history denotes a possible philosophical discipline
on a par with transcendental logic. Through two mutually
complementary endeavours, namely the working out of a notion and
the defending of a thesis, Gosvig Olesen examines the history of
philosophy in areas where the possibility of the transcendental
history will emerge. The notion that is worked out is the notion of
historical time. The thesis that is being defended is that the
human cognition's transcendental condition is history. Notion as
well as thesis place the dissertation in the philosophical genre
traditionally known as transcendental philosophy.
The Danish Yearbook of Philosophy publishes contributions in
English, German and French. The journal contains mainly articles
with element of Danish philosophy or of writers connected to the
Danish philosophy.
