Self-Understanding and Lifeworld (Studies in Continental Thought)
by Hans-Helmuth Gander
What are the foundations of human self-understanding and the value of responsible philosophical questioning? Focusing on Heidegger's early work on facticity, historicity, and the phenomenological hermeneutics of factical-historical life, Hans-Helmuth Gander develops an idea of understanding that reflects our connection with the world and other, and thus invites deep consideration of phenomenology, hermeneutics, and deconstruction. He draws usefully on Husserl's phenomenology and provides grounds...
Heidegger's Atheism explains what Heidegger meant when he said that all philosophy is atheistic. This unique book traces the development of his explanation of philosophy as a methodological atheism, and relates it to his reading of Aristotle, Aquinas, and Nietzsche. A predominant issue throughout this study is Heidegger's pursuit of an answer to the question: How did God get into philosophy?Laurence Paul Hemming discusses a wide range of topics in this comprehensive volume, including the influen...
Die Geistige Situation Der Zeit (Sammlung G Schen, #1000) (Sammlung Gaschen, #1000)
by Professor Karl Jaspers
Wittgenstein Reading (On Wittgenstein)
Wittgenstein's thought is reflected in his reading and reception of other authors. Wittgenstein Reading approaches the moment of literature as a vehicle of self-reflection for Wittgenstein. What sounds, on the surface, like criticism (e.g. of Shakespeare) can equally be understood as a simple registration of Wittgenstein's own reaction, hence a piece of self-diagnosis or self-analysis. The book brings a representative sample of authors, from Shakespeare, Goethe, or Dostoyevsky to some that hav...
Kierkegaard's Journals and Notebooks, Volume 11, Part 1 (Kierkegaard's Journals and Notebooks, #16)
by Soren Kierkegaard
For over a century, the Danish thinker Soren Kierkegaard (1813-55) has been at the center of a number of important discussions, concerning not only philosophy and theology but also, more recently, fields such as social thought, psychology, and contemporary aesthetics, especially literary theory. Despite his relatively short life, Kierkegaard was an extraordinarily prolific writer, as attested to by the 26-volume Princeton University Press edition of all of his published writings. But Kierkegaar...
Ricoeur, Culture, and Recognition (Studies in the Thought of Paul Ricoeur)
by Timo Helenius
Ricoeur, Culture, and Recognition: A Hermeneutic of Cultural Subjectivity presents Paul Ricoeur's work-from its beginning to its end-as a form of a cultural theory. Timo Helenius proposes a cultural hermeneutic that clarifies the cultural facilitation in a person's process of attaining a sense of being a human. Incorporating insights from Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger, this exploration of human beings as being profoundly formed and influenced by the cultural condition also enables a new understandi...
Arthur Edward Waite's Quest of the Golden Stairs

Das Subjekt als Grenze (Quellen und Studien zur Philosophie)
by Kathrin Stengel
Wittgenstein und Merleau-Ponty gelten als Vertreter zweier gegensatzlicher Schulen, der Analytischen Philosophie und der Phanomenologie. In ihrer topologisch vergleichenden Analyse eroeffnet Stengel an Hand der Situierung des Menschen im intersubjektiven Raum einen neuen Blick auf wesentliche Themen der modernen Philosophie, insbesondere die Probleme der Sprache und der Wahrnehmung. Der Vergleich der Wittgensteinschen Sprach- und der Merleau-Pontyschen Wahrnehmungsanalyse offenbart dabei verbluf...
Habermas and Ricoeur's Depth Hermeneutics (Contributions to Hermeneutics, #3)
by Vinicio Busacchi
This book presents a critical and systematic study of the possibility to consider and practice Freud's psychoanalysis as a form of depth hermeneutics. It contributes to a screening of the possibility of a hermeneutical interpretation of psychoanalysis, particularly with respect to the therapeutic practice. The book is an investigation into the philosophical implications of the hermeneutical re-reading of psychoanalysis and clarifies the real speculative and theoretical potential behind the diale...
Toward a Phenomenology of Addiction: Embodiment, Technology, Transcendence (Contributions to Phenomenology, #93)
by Frank Schalow
This book addresses an epidemic that has developed on a global scale, and, which under the heading of "addiction," presents a new narrative about the travails of the human predicament. The book introduces phenomenological motifs, such as desire, embodiment, and temporality, to uncover the existential roots of addiction, and develops Martin Heidegger's insights into technology to uncover the challenge of becoming a self within the impulsiveness and depersonalization of our digital age. By char...
Grau reconsiders the relationship between "logos" and "mythos" as a precondition to opening theological hermeneutics to discourse from other cultures and genres, other modes of telling and retelling.
Denken UEber Nichts - Intentionalitat Und Nicht-Existenz Bei Husserl

Johann Salomo Semler (Hallesche Beitrage Zur Europaischen Aufklarung, #2)
by Gottfried Hornig
Be-Ron Yahad
The present volume honours Rabbi Professor Nehemia Polen, one of those rare scholars whose religious teachings, spiritual writings, and academic scholarship have come together into a sustained project of interpretive imagination and engagement. Without compromising his intellectual integrity, his work brings forth the sacred from the mundane and expands the reach of Torah. He has shown us a path in which narrow scholarship is directly linked to a quest for ever-broadening depth and connectivity....
Heideggers Wahrheiten (Quellen Und Studien Zur Philosophie, #87)

The Future of Religion
by Richard Rorty, Gianni Vattimo, and Santiago Zabala
Though coming from different and distinct intellectual traditions, Richard Rorty and Gianni Vattimo are united in their criticism of the metaphysical tradition. The challenges they put forward extend beyond philosophy and entail a reconsideration of the foundations of belief in God and the religious life. They urge that the rejection of metaphysical truth does not necessitate the death of religion; instead it opens new ways of imagining what it is to be religious-ways that emphasize charity, sol...
