Many contemporary accounts of personhood are systematically focused on rational phenomena as self-consciousness or practical reasoning, which are understood as 'conditions of personhood'. Apart from having some technical problems, those accounts limit our self-under-standing as persons on distinct rational properties and often fail to consider the sociocultural aspects of the personal situation. Nicolai Hartmann — although respecting the role of reason — understands personhood particularly as participation in a shared spiritual sphere called Objektiver Geist (objective spirit), which includes various intersubjective phenomena as languages, religion, moral, arts, and the sciences. Being part of this sphere seems to be more fundamental than having distinct rational properties, which requests a spiritual frame to be exerted. Further it is shown that Hartmann's ontology of person also includes a notion of being affected by the existential weight of situations and other person's actions — an idea often maintained by phenomenological positions. By regarding rational, intersubjective and affective aspects, Hartmann's philosophy of person succeeds in offering a broad articulation of our self-understanding and may also be seen as providing a background to understand certain phenomena that are part of the personal situation.}, language = {de} } @article{Schierl2020, author = {Schierl, Petra}, title = {Der Heldenk{\"o}rper in Szene gesetzt}, series = {thersites 11: tessellae - Birthday Issue for Christine Walde}, volume = {2020}, journal = {thersites 11: tessellae - Birthday Issue for Christine Walde}, number = {11}, editor = {Amb{\"u}hl, Annemarie}, issn = {2364-7612}, doi = {10.34679/thersites.vol11.182}, pages = {31 -- 68}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Taking its cue from the portrayal of Hercules as muscleman in both films and ancient sculpture this article turns to poetry as a verbal art and examines when and how the hero's body comes into focus in Roman epic and elegy. It is argued that moments of crisis contrasting Hercules' state in a given situation to his former heroic achievements give rise to representations of his body, while epic fight scenes rather draw attention to the bodies of his inferior opponents. The body is described through references to different body parts, qualified by attributes as masculine in elegiac contexts. A somewhat exotic word as tori suffices to highlight the hero's muscular body.}, language = {de} }
