Emotionen sind in den letzten Jahren als zentraler Gegenstand der
Ethik, der philosophischen Anthropologie und der Philosophie des
Geistes wieder entdeckt worden. Die Thematisierung von Gefuhlen hat
in der Philosophie durchaus Tradition. Seit Platon und Aristoteles
gehoeren Reflexion auf und theoretische Erklarung von Gefuhlen zur
Philosophie. Viele dieser klassischen Emotionstheorien haben
indirekt auf die heutige Diskussion Einfluss, andere eroeffnen
gerade in ihrer heute ungewoehnlichen Sicht neue Perspektiven. Der
vorliegende Band, in dem die wichtigsten Emotionstheorien von
Platon bis Wittgenstein vorgestellt werden, soll fur die aktuelle
Philosophie der Gefuhle neue Anschlussmoeglichkeiten aufzeigen.
The acquisition of self-knowledge is often described as one of the
main goals of philosophical inquiry. At the same time, some sort of
self-knowledge is often regarded as a necessary condition of our
being a human agent or human subject. Thus self-knowledge is taken
to constitute both the beginning and the end of humans' search for
wisdom, and as such it is intricately bound up with the very idea
of philosophy. Not surprisingly therefore, the Delphic injunction
'Know thyself' has fascinated philosophers of different times,
backgrounds, and tempers. But how can we make sense of this
imperative? What is self-knowledge and how is it achieved? What are
the structural features that distinguish self-knowledge from other
types of knowledge? What role do external, second- and
third-personal, sources of knowledge play in the acquisition of
self-knowledge? How can we account for the moral impact ascribed to
self-knowledge? Is it just a form of anthropological knowledge that
allows agents to act in accordance with their aims? Or, does
self-knowledge ultimately ennoble the self of the subjects having
it? Finally, is self-knowledge, or its completion, a goal that may
be reached at all? The book addresses these questions in fifteen
chapters covering approaches of many philosophers from Plato and
Aristotle to Edmund Husserl or Elisabeth Anscombe. The short
reflections inserted between the chapters show that the search for
self-knowledge is an important theme in literature, poetry,
painting and self-portraiture from Homer.
