Reading Rödl On Self-Consciousness and Objectivity

Reading Rödl On Self-Consciousness and Objectivity

Sebastian Rödl's Self-Consciousness and Objectivity is one of the most original and thought-provoking books in analytic philosophy for the last several years. An ambitious defence of absolute idealism Rödl rejects the idea that we as thinking beings can position ourselves within a given mind-independent reality and instead advances the position that the very idea of an ‘objective reality’ coincides with the self-consciousness of thought. In this outstanding collection a roster of international contributors critically examine the significance of Rödl's arguments and develop them in new directions. Their contributions are organised into the following six sections: Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and naturalism Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and formal idealism Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and quietism Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and absolute idealism Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and the power of judgment Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and the determinacy of the individual The volume concludes with an extensive response by Sebastian Rödl to his critics. This book constitutes essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary debates at ther intersection of analytic philosophy and philosophical idealism. | Reading Rödl On Self-Consciousness and Objectivity

Death and (Re) Birth of J.S. Bach Reconsidering Musical Authorship and the Work-Concept

Death and (Re) Birth of J.S. Bach Reconsidering Musical Authorship and the Work-Concept

While the study and redefinition of the notion of authorship and its relationship to the idea of the literary work have played a central role in recent research on literature semiotics and related disciplines its impact on contemporary musicology is still limited. Why? What implications would a reconsideration of the author- and work-concepts have on our understanding of the creative musical processes? Why would such a re-examination of these regulative concepts be necessary? Could it emerge from a post-structuralist revision of the notion of musical textuality? In this book Trillo takes the …Bach… project a collection of new music based on Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita No. 1 for solo violin BWV 1002 as a point of departure to sketch some critical answers to these fundamental questions raise new ones and explore their musicological implications. | Death and (Re) Birth of J.

Conversations on Conflict Photography

Conversations on Conflict Photography

In today’s image-saturated culture the visual documentation of suffering around the world is more prevalent than ever. Yet instead of always deepening the knowledge or compassion of viewers conflict photography can result in fatigue or even inspire apathy. Given this tension between the genre’s ostensible goals and its effects what is the purpose behind taking and showing images of war and crisis? Conversations on Conflict Photography invites readers to think through these issues via conversations with award-winning photographers as well as leading photo editors and key representatives of the major human rights and humanitarian organizations. Framed by critical-historical essays these dialogues explore the complexities and ethical dilemmas of this line of work. The practitioners relate the struggles of their craft from brushes with death on the frontlines to the battles for space resources and attention in our media-driven culture. Despite these obstacles they remain true to a purpose one that is palpable as they celebrate remarkable success stories: from changing the life of a single individual to raising broad awareness about human rights issues. Opening with an insightful foreword by the renowned Sebastian Junger and richly illustrated with challenging painful and sometimes beautiful images Conversations offers a uniquely rounded examination of the value of conflict photography in today’s world.

Hegel and Contemporary Practical Philosophy Beyond Kantian Constructivism

Hegel and Contemporary Practical Philosophy Beyond Kantian Constructivism

While Kantian constructivism has become one of the most influential and systematic schools of thought in analytic moral and political philosophy Hegelian approaches to practical normativity hold out the promise of building upon Kantian insights into individual self-determination while avoiding their dualistic tendencies. James Gledhill and Sebastian Stein unite distinguished scholars of German idealism and contemporary Anglophone practical philosophy with rising stars in the field to explore whether Hegelian idealist philosophy can offer the categories that analytic practical philosophy requires to overcome the contradictions that have so far plagued Kantian constructivism. The volume organizes the contributions into three parts. The first of these engages debates in metaethics regarding the relationship between realism and constructivism. The second part sees contributors draw on debates about the nature of political normativity focusing primarily on the problems of historical contextualism relativism and critical reflection. The concluding part considers the application of the Hegelian framework to contemporary debates about specific ethical issues including multiculturalism democracy and human rights. Hegel and Contemporary Practical Philosophy contributes to the on-going debate about the importance of systematic philosophy in the context of practical philosophy engages with contemporary discussions about the shape of a rational social order and gauges the timeliness of Hegelian philosophy. This book is a must read for scholars interested in Hegel and in the contemporary tradition of Kantian constructivism in moral and political philosophy. | Hegel and Contemporary Practical Philosophy Beyond Kantian Constructivism

The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms Volume 1 Language

The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms Volume 1 Language

The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms is a milestone in twentieth century philosophy. Promoting a philosophical vision informed by Kant it incorporates the philosophical advances achieved in the nineteenth century by German Idealism and Neo-Kantianism whilst acknowledging the contributions made by his contemporary phenomenologists. It also encompasses empirical and historical research on culture and the most contemporary work on myth linguistics and psychopathology. As such it ranks in philosophical importance along with other major works of the twentieth century such as Edmund Husserl’s Logical Investigations Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time and Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. In the first volume Cassirer explores the symbolic form of language. Already recognized by thinkers in the tradition of German Idealism such as Wilhelm von Humboldt language is the primary medium by which we interact with others and form a common world. As Cassirer emphasizes in the famous Davos Debate with Heidegger 'there is one objective human world in which a bridge is built from individual to individual. That I find in the primal phenomenon of language. ' The famous trias Cassirer discerns in the functioning of language – the functions of expression (Ausdruck) presentation (Darstellung) and signification (Bedeutung) – has become paradigmatic for accounts of language philosophical linguistic and anthropological alike. Sebastian Luft Professor of Philosophy Marquette University USA. This new translation makes Cassirer’s seminal work available to a new generation of scholars. Each volume includes a translator’s introduction by Steve G. Lofts a foreword by Peter E. Gordon a glossary of key terms and an index. | The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms Volume 1 Language

Johann Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin and Das neu-eröffnete Orchestre Mattheson’s Universal Style in Theory and Practice

Johann Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin and Das neu-eröffnete Orchestre Mattheson’s Universal Style in Theory and Practice

A prolific music theorist and critic as well as an established composer Johannes Mattheson remains surprisingly understudied. In this important study Margaret Seares places Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin (1714) in the context of his work as a public intellectual who encouraged German musicians and their musical public to eschew what he saw as the hidebound traditions of the past and instead embrace a universalism of style and expression derived from contemporary currents in music of the leading European nations. Beginning with the early non-musical writings by Mattheson Seares places them in the context of the cosmopolitan city-state of Hamburg before moving to a detailed study of his first major musical treatise Das neu-er¶ffnete Orchestre of 1713 in which he espoused his views about the musics of the past and present and in particular the characteristics of the musics of Germany Italy France and England. This latter section of the treatise Part III is edited and translated into English in the book's appendix - the first such translation available. Seares then moves on to an evaluation of the Pièces de clavecin as a work in which Mattheson reflects in musical terms the themes of modernism (in the sense of la mode) and universalism that are such a strong part of his writings of the period and a work that represents an important precursor for the keyboard suites of Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Frideric Handel. | Johann Mattheson’s Pièces de clavecin and Das neu-eröffnete Orchestre Mattheson’s Universal Style in Theory and Practice
