Universals in Second Scholasticism
More LessThis study aims to present a comparative analysis of philosophical theories of universals espoused by the foremost representatives of the three main schools of early modern scholastic thought. The book introduces the doctrines of Francisco Suárez, S.J. (1548–1617), the Thomist John of St. Thomas, O.P. (1589–1644), and the Scotists Bartolomeo Mastri da Meldola, O.F.M. Conv. (1602–1673) and Bonaventura Belluto, O.F.M. Conv. (1600–1676). The author examines in detail their mutual doctrinal delineation as well as the conceptualist tenet of the Jesuit Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza (1578–1641), whose thought constitutes an important systematic point of comparison especially with Suárez’s doctrine. The book offers the first comparative elaboration of the issue of universals, in both its metaphysical and its epistemological aspects, in the era of second scholasticism.

Unfolding Perceptual Continua
More LessThe book analyses the differences between the mathematical interpretation and the phenomenological intuition of the continuum. The basic idea is that the continuity of the experience of space and time originates in phenomenic movement. The problem of consciousness and of the spaces of representation is related to the primary processes of perception. Conceived as an interplay between cognitive science, linguistics and philosophy, the book presents a conceptual framework based on a dynamic and experimental approach to the problem of the continuum. Besides presenting the primitives of a theory of cognitive space and time, it presents a theory of the observer, analyzing the relationship among perspective, points of view and unity of consciousness. The book's chapters deal with the dynamic elaboration and recognition of forms from the lower to the higher processes in the various perceptual fields. Experimental analysis from visual, auditory and tactile perception outline the basic structures of intentionality and its counterpart in language and gesture. (Series B)

Umbrüche
More LessUmbrüche ist keine lückenlose Darstellung aller Wendepunkte in der Philosophiegeschichte, sondern eine Sammlung von Beiträgen, die sowohl bekannte Neuanfänge als auch bislang wenig beachtete Denkbewegungen analysieren bis hin zu Auseinandersetzungen mit Anregungen, die für sich selbst genommen Umbrüche bedeuten, als solche jedoch nicht historisch wirksam werden konnten. Folgende Autoren bzw. Themen werden berücksichtigt: die Sprach- und Erkenntnistheorie Platons, Naturphilosophie und Philosophiekritik bei Augustin, Meister Eckharts Predigt 21, wissenschaftstheoretische und ontologische Neuansätze bei Adam de Wodeham, Hervaeus Natalis und Wilhelm von Ockham, atheistische Tendenzen im 14. Jahrhundert, Niccolò Machiavellis politische Philosophie, philosophiehistorische Überlegungen zum Epochenbegriff, Kants kritische Transzendentalphilosophie und ihre Wende bei Fichte, die Bedeutung der Französischen Revolution für den Freiheitsbegriff Fichtes, die Vollendung des Anselmianischen Arguments durch Schellings Begriff des Überseienden, die Sprachphilosophie W. von Humboldts sowie die Dionysius-Pseudo-Areopagita-Rezeption bei Hugo Ball.
Beiträgen von: Burkhard Mojsisch; Arne Malmsheimer; Udo Reinhold Jeck; Franz-Bernhard Stammkötter; Jens Maassen; Christian Rode; Martin Lenz; Olaf Pluta; Bernhard Milz; Christiane Schultz; Christoph Asmuth; Annette Sell; Orrin F. Summerell; Klaus Kahnert; Matthias Bloch.The volume Umbrüche the German word means “radical changes” presents not a seamless account of the many turning points in the history of philosophy, but instead contributions individually reflecting on both well-known and little regarded crises in the development of philosophical thought, including some whose promise was never fully realized. At issue are the following authors and themes: Plato’s epistemology and theory of language, Augustine‘s philosophy of nature and his critique of philosophy, Meister Eckhart’s German sermon 21, Adam de Wodeham’s, Hervaeus Natalis’s and William of Ockham’s revolutionary theories of science and ontology; atheistic tendencies in the 14th century; Niccolò Machiavelli’s political philosophy; philosophical-historical deliberations on the concept of an ‘epoch’; Kant’s transcendental philosophy and its reception and change by Fichte; the significance of the French Revolution for Fichte’s concept of freedom; the culmination of the Anselmian argument in Schelling’s concept of what is ‘beyond being’; Wilhelm von Humboldt’s philosophy of language and Hugo Ball’s reception of Dionysius Pseudo-Areopagita.
