Starting from the notion that the objective character and the self-conscious character of thought seem in tension, I discuss Sebastian R{\"o}dl's Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and his thesis that this tension is merely apparent. This resolution suggests an immediate route to absolute idealism. I recall two Hegelian objections against such an immediate route. Against this background, it transpires that the dissolution of the apparent opposition of objectivity and self-consciousness can only be a preliminary step, opening our eyes to an actual opposition animating the pursuit of knowledge: the opposition of knowledge of nature and self-knowledge. This actual opposition cannot be removed as merely apparent and instead has to be sublated through articulation of its speculative unity. I consider two paradigms for the exposition of such a speculative unity: Kant's account of judgments of beauty, and Hegel's account of the speculative unity of life and self-consciousness. I close by contrasting these two approaches with R{\"o}dl's characterization, which strikes me as one-sided. Absolute idealism, properly understood, requires us to develop the speculative unity of knowledge of nature and self-knowledge from both sides, showing us that knowledge of nature is self-knowledge, but equally: that self-knowledge requires knowledge of ourselves as nature.}, language = {en} } @article{Khurana2023, author = {Khurana, Thomas}, title = {Die "europ{\"a}ischen Wilden"}, series = {Historische Urteilskraft}, volume = {5}, journal = {Historische Urteilskraft}, publisher = {Stiftung Deutsches Historisches Museum}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-86102-231-2}, issn = {2626-8094}, pages = {15 -- 18}, year = {2023}, language = {de} } @article{Khurana2023, author = {Khurana, Thomas}, title = {Altera Natura: Das Anthropoz{\"a}n als {\"a}sthetisches Problem}, series = {Dritte Natur}, volume = {6}, journal = {Dritte Natur}, number = {1}, publisher = {Matthes \& Seitz}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-7518-0704-3}, issn = {2625-9885}, pages = {175 -- 190}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Der Kunst wird seit langem nachgesagt, dem Subjekt ein anderes Verh{\"a}ltnis zur Natur zu er{\"o}ffnen, als dies die gew{\"o}hnliche theoretische oder praktische Erkenntnis erm{\"o}glicht.

However, this chapter argues that Hegel starts with a form of possessive individualism only to show that it undermines itself.

This can already be noticed in the beginning of the Logic: If there can be nothing outside the absolute, then the beginning cannot be outside the absolute either. Consequently, the beginning must be made with the absolute itself. However, setting the beginning as absolute is at the same time testing the beginning of its absoluteness. And the beginning does not pass this test. For it is the nature of a beginning to be only a beginning and not the whole. And thus it is also not the absolute. The beginning is the most distant determination from being the whole and must therefore be considered as the most non-absolute in Logic. Consequently, the beginning is both: It is a beginning with the absolute and it is a beginning with the most non-absolute. The very beginning of the Logic is already a self-contradiction. The Logic must free itself from this contradiction. And this liberation is what makes the progress that leads beyond the beginning and in which the beginning is sublated. The progress develops subsequent determinations. Each of them is posited as absolute, but none of them can satisfy this absoluteness so that each of them is sublated again in subsequent determinations. Every determination that follows the beginning undergoes this movement of absolutisation, of failing to fulfill absoluteness, and of sublating itself, until - at the very end of Logic - this very movement is recognised as that which alone is capable of fulfilling absoluteness. For if every determination is submitted to this movement, then there is no outside to this movement. And therefore, it must be the absolute. On its progress to elaborate the true meaning of the absolute, the Logic returns repeatedly to the determination of its beginning, in order to catch up with presuppositions that had to be made for exposing its initial determination. The following passages will be of particular interest for catching up with these presuppositions: the transition into the science of Essence, the transition into the science of Notion and the concluding chapter of the Logic. For even at the very end, the Logic returns to its beginning.

We show that, rather than being a peculiarity of Hegel's philosophy, the practice of demonstrating a priori the results of empirical sciences was widespread in the pre-Kantian rationalist tradition. We argue that this practice was intelligible in light of the notion of a priori that was still quite prominent during Hegel's life. This notion of a priori differs from Kant's in that, while the latter's notion concerns propositions, the former concerned only their demonstration. According to it, the same proposition could be demonstrated both a posteriori and a priori. Post-Kantian idealists likewise developed projects of demonstrating specific scientific contents a priori.

This different understanding of the genus- character of the human being opens up a new perspective on the naturalism of the early Marx.

This article argues that this idea is wrongheaded. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that conspiracy theorists are actually motivated by the rational Enlightenment ideal of self-thinking in the first place. In contrast to the standard discourse, the article posits that conspiracism is based on a certain form of social scepticism, according to which conspiracy theorists radically mistrust a certain form of expert testimony, namely "official" statements.

From the perspective of linguistic hermeneutics, the world is disclosed and exposed to ongoing articulation in characteristic hermeneutic situations of language use. The concepts of linguistic medium and discursive articulation of the world are treated in terms of hermeneutic trans- subjectivity as enabling all forms of communicative intersubjectivity.

The first section delineates the deep affinities between the two approaches. They both put a reciprocal social constellation front and center from which they derive the fundamental norms of moral and social life and a social conception of freedom. The second section discusses three points of contrast between the two approaches: The accounts differ in that the second-personal approach opts for a narrower conception of recognition focusing on mutual moral accountability, whereas recognition theory suggests a broader conception including relations of love, respect, and esteem. Secondly, the accounts differ as to how they conceive of the interrelation of the I-thou and the I-We relationship. Finally, they differ with regard to the way they think of struggles for recognition. Whereas the second-personal approach suggests that we can understand struggles on the basis of a transcendental infrastructure of second-personal address, the theory of recognition considers norms of recognition as themselves constituted by dialectical social struggles.

In dieser Debatte wird Honneth dahingehend kritisiert, dass es ihm mit seiner kritischen Gesellschaftstheorie entgegen seiner eigenen systematischen Zielsetzung nicht gelingt, in modernen liberaldemokratischen Gesellschaften s{\"a}mtliche Ph{\"a}nomene von sozialer Herrschaft kritisch zu hinterfragen. Denn soziale Anerkennung, die Honneth als Schl{\"u}sselbegriff f{\"u}r diese kritische Hinterfragung behandelt, bei der soziale Herrschaft in Verbindung mit sozialer Missachtung (als mangelnde soziale Anerkennung) steht, kann laut der Kritik faktisch selbst ein Medium f{\"u}r die Stiftung von sozialer Unterwerfung sein. Dies geschieht in Prozessen von Identit{\"a}tsentwicklung, in denen soziale Anerkennung f{\"u}r Individuen als Anerkannte bestimmte Identit{\"a}tsm{\"o}glichkeiten einr{\"a}umt und auf diese Weise gleichzeitig andere Identit{\"a}tsm{\"o}glichkeiten ausschließt, womit sie auf diese Identit{\"a}t einschr{\"a}nkend und insofern herrschend wirkt. Es handelt sich um eine Form von sozialer Herrschaft, die durch soziale Anerkennung gestiftet wird. Honneth zieht dem Vorwurf zufolge nicht in Erw{\"a}gung, dass soziale Anerkennung bei Individuen als Anerkannte einen solchen negativen Effekt erzielen kann. Hieraus ergeben sich die Fragen, ob soziale Anerkennung in Prozessen von Identit{\"a}tsentwicklung jeweils mit sozialer Herrschaft einhergeht und wie dieser Typus von sozialer Herrschaft kritisiert werden kann. Diese Fragen hat Honneth zuletzt in einem pers{\"o}nlichen Gespr{\"a}ch mit Allen und Cooke (als zwei Teilnehmerinnen der Debatte gegen Honneth) beantwortet. An dieser Stelle vertritt er mit beiden Gespr{\"a}chsteilnehmerinnen die Auffassung, dass die Operation der Einschr{\"a}nkung von Identit{\"a}tsm{\"o}glichkeiten an sich keine Operation darstellt, welche, wie sonst in der Debatte gegen seine kritische Gesellschaftstheorie behauptet wird, auf soziale Herrschaft zur{\"u}ckf{\"u}hrt. Diese Auffassung beruht auf der Idee, wonach soziale Anerkennung sich in jenem praktischen Kontext nur unter der Bedingung als herrschaftsstiftend erweist, dass sie immanente Prinzipien verletzt, die substanziell kritische Maßst{\"a}be definieren. Mein Beitrag zu dieser Debatte gegen Honneth besteht auf der einen Seite in der Erkl{\"a}rung, dass sowohl jene Auffassung als auch jene Idee argumentativ mangelhaft sind, und auf der anderen Seite in der Ausf{\"u}hrung des Vorhabens, diesen argumentativen Mangel selbst zu beheben. Gegen jene Auffassung behaupte ich, dass die drei Autoren in ihrem Gespr{\"a}ch nicht erl{\"a}utern, inwiefern soziale Anerkennung nicht herrschend wirkt, wenn sie die Identit{\"a}tsm{\"o}glichkeiten von Individuen als Anerkannte einschr{\"a}nkt, denn mit dieser Einschr{\"a}nkung wird vielmehr faktisch {\"u}ber diese Individuen geherrscht - die Debatte gegen Honneth, so zur Unterst{\"u}tzung dieser Ansicht, baut haupts{\"a}chlich auf ebendiesem Faktum auf. Gegen jene Idee habe ich f{\"u}nf problematische Fragen gestellt und beantwortet, die Bezug eigentlich nicht allein auf diese Idee selbst, sondern {\"u}berdies auf weitere, naheliegende Ideen nehmen, welche die drei Autoren angesprochen haben.}, language = {de} } @misc{Petsche2021, author = {Petsche, Hans-Joachim}, title = {Transzendentaler Materialismus, Emergenz und Quantengravitation}, series = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Philosophische Reihe}, journal = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Philosophische Reihe}, number = {176}, issn = {1866-8380}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-53448}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-534481}, pages = {93 -- 98}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Bezug nehmend auf Rainer E.

Recognizing the multiple discourse roles of euh, we divided out occurrences according to utterance position. We quantified the frequency of euh, and evaluated acoustic changes in formants, fundamental frequency, and voice quality across time and utterance position. Results showed that euh frequency was stable with age. The only acoustic measure that revealed an age effect was harmonics-to-noise ratio, showing less noise at older ages. Other measures mostly varied with utterance position, sometimes in interaction with age. Some voice quality changes could reflect laryngeal adjustments that provide for airflow conservation utterance-finally.

Vor dem Hintergrund einer umfassenden und detaillierten Analyse des „Leitfadens", bei Hinzuziehung verwandter Stellen aus dem umgrenzten Textbestand und nicht zuletzt bei Ber{\"u}cksichtigung des Verh{\"a}ltnisses des „Leitfadens" zu den genannten vier Passagen der Kritik legt sich eine Interpretation der Metaphysischen Deduktion nahe, die sich nur schwer bestreiten l{\"a}sst, sobald diese Texte einmal gemeinsam betrachtet und auf eine bestimmte Weise zueinander ins Verh{\"a}ltnis gesetzt werden. Dabei kann eine durchgehend wohlwollende, argumentative Rekonstruktion dazu beitragen, auch die philosophische {\"U}berzeugungskraft der Position Kants deutlich zu machen.}, subject = {Kant, Immanuel [1724-1804]}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Seiberth2021, author = {Seiberth, Luz Christopher}, title = {Intentionality in Sellars}, series = {Routledge studies in American philosophy}, journal = {Routledge studies in American philosophy}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {New York, NY}, isbn = {978-1-032-11493-4}, doi = {10.4324/9781003221364}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {xxii, 230}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This book argues that Sellars' theory of intentionality can be understood as an advancement of a transcendental philosophical approach. It shows how Sellars develops his theory of intentionality through his engagement with the theoretical philosophy of Immanuel Kant. The book delivers a provocative reinterpretation of one of the most problematic and controversial concepts of Sellars' philosophy: the picturing-relation. Sellars' theory of intentionality addresses the question of how to reconcile two aspects that seem opposed: the non-relational theory of intellectual and linguistic content and a causal-transcendental theory of representation inspired by the philosophy of the early Wittgenstein. The author explains how both parts cohere in a transcendental account of finite knowledge. He claims that this can only be achieved by reading Sellars as committed to a transcendental methodology inspired by Kant. In a final step, he brings his interpretation to bear on the contemporary metaphilosophical debate on pragmatism and expressivism. Intentionality in Sellars will be of interest to scholars of Sellars and Kant, as well as researchers working in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophy.}, language = {en} } @article{Petsche2020, author = {Petsche, Hans-Joachim}, title = {Einf{\"u}hrung}, series = {Zyklizit{\"a}t \& Rhythmik: eine multidisziplin{\"a}re Vorlesungsreihe}, journal = {Zyklizit{\"a}t \& Rhythmik: eine multidisziplin{\"a}re Vorlesungsreihe}, publisher = {trafo}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-86464-169-5}, pages = {9 -- 11}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{BuettnervonStuelpnagel2020, author = {B{\"u}ttner-von St{\"u}lpnagel, Stefan}, title = {Galileis "Platonismus" als Reaktion auf das prinzipielle Manko der aristotelischen Bewegungslehre}, series = {Philosophie \& Weltbild : Philosophie und Wissenschaft im Diskurs - ein interdisziplin{\"a}res Projekt}, journal = {Philosophie \& Weltbild : Philosophie und Wissenschaft im Diskurs - ein interdisziplin{\"a}res Projekt}, publisher = {trafo}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-86464-208-1}, pages = {51 -- 67}, year = {2020}, language = {de} }
