Bridging The Gap Between Similarity And Causality: An Integrated Approach To Concepts, Corinne L. Bloch-Mullins
Bridging The Gap Between Similarity And Causality: An Integrated Approach To Concepts, Corinne L. Bloch-Mullins
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
A growing consensus in the philosophy and psychology of concepts is that while theories such as the prototype, exemplar, and theory theories successfully account for some instances of concept formation and application, none of them successfully accounts for all such instances. I argue against this ‘new consensus’ and show that the problem is, in fact, more severe: the explanatory force of each of these theories is limited even with respect to the phenomena often cited to support it, as each fails to satisfy an important explanatory desideratum with respect to these phenomena. I argue that these explanatory shortcomings arise from …

Kant, Neo-Kantianism, And Phenomenology, Sebastian Luft
Kant, Neo-Kantianism, And Phenomenology, Sebastian Luft
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
This chapter offers a reassessment of the relationship between Kant, the Kantian tradition, and phenomenology, here focusing mainly on Husserl and Heidegger. Part of this reassessment concerns those philosophers who, during the lives of Husserl and Heidegger, sought to defend an updated version of Kant’s philosophy, the neo-Kantians. The chapter shows where the phenomenologists were able to benefit from some of the insights on the part of Kant and the neo-Kantians, but also clearly points to the differences. The aim of this chapter is to offer a fair evaluation of the relation of the main phenomenologists to Kant and to …

Mind Als Geist In Der Welt Der Kultur: Kultuphilosophie, "Naturalistische" Transzendentalphilosophie Und Die Frage Nach Dem Raum Der Kultur, Sebastian Luft
Mind Als Geist In Der Welt Der Kultur: Kultuphilosophie, "Naturalistische" Transzendentalphilosophie Und Die Frage Nach Dem Raum Der Kultur, Sebastian Luft

Abstract: Mind as Spirit in the World of Culture. Philosophy of Culture, "Naturalistic" Transcendental Philosophy and the Question of the Space of Culture. In this essay I present Cassirer's philosophy of culture as a special application of Kant's transcendental philosophy. I then compare and contrast it to another tradition, namely the Pittsburgh School, especially McDowell. The starting point here is the Sellarsian concept of the 'Space of reasons', which McDowell expands through his Aristotelian-inspired concept of 'Second nature'. By way of a rather peculiar interpretation of an early interpreter of Cassirer -Howe- I will attempt to bring 'Marburg' and 'Pittsburgh' …
Some Themes In Suárez’S Account Of The Separated Soul, James B. South
Some Themes In Suárez’S Account Of The Separated Soul, James B. South
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
In this article, I focus on three issues in Francisco Suárez’s account of the separated soul: the status of the separated soul as a person, the separated soul’s knowledge of itself, and the question of the soul’s nature both as form of the body and as existing outside the body. I place his discussion in dialogue with St. Thomas Aquinas and Cajetan (Thomas de Vio) and show the ways he departs from those two thinkers. Finally, I show that his account of these problems makes for a philosophically probable account of the resurrection of the body.

Averroes And The Philosophical Account Of Prophecy, Richard C. Taylor
Averroes And The Philosophical Account Of Prophecy, Richard C. Taylor
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Prophecy is conspicuous by its complete absence from all three of the commentaries on De Anima by Averroes. However, prophecy and philosophical metaphysics are discussed by him in his Commentary on the Parva Naturalia, a work written before his methodological work on philosophy and religion, the Faṣl al-maqāl, generally held to have been written ca. 1179-1180. The analyses and remarks of Averroes presented in that Commentary have been characterized by Herbert Davidson as “extremely radical” to the extent that “The term prophet would, on this reading, mean nothing more than the human author of Scripture; and the term revelation …
Reason And Agency In Kant And Fichte, Michael Vater
Reason And Agency In Kant And Fichte, Michael Vater
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
This paper explores the question of the unity of Transcendental Idealism at the end of Eighteenth Century German philosophy, given that it circulated in different versions, Kant’s Critique [of humans’ rational powers] and Fichte’ System of Science [Wissenschaftslehre]. Both thinkers take the transcendental turn. They base conceptual investigations not on facts or empirical evidence, but on the possibility of a situation; they are idealists since they look inward to the spontaneity of the agent/knower for explanation, not the environment, stimulus, or sensory given. Reason can fathom only what it has constructed.
Capturing Transitional Justice: Exploring Colleen Murphy’S The Conceptual Foundations Of Transitional Justice, Margaret Urban Walker
Capturing Transitional Justice: Exploring Colleen Murphy’S The Conceptual Foundations Of Transitional Justice, Margaret Urban Walker
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Colleen Murphy’s impressive book presents a unified theory of transitional justice as a single, novel, distinct kind of justice, intended to guide normative evaluation of the choices transitional societies make in dealing with the past. I raise three central challenges to Murphy’s theory. First, how do we know that transitional justice is fundamentally a single special kind of justice that permits a grand unified theory? Second, is it plausible to hold, as Murphy claims, that societal transformation is the overarching aim or objective of transitional justice? Third, is transitional justice convincingly explained as pursuing societal transformation ‘through’ or ‘by’ dealing …

El Suplemento De La Imaginación En La Narración. O De Cómo Husserl Aporta Un Complemento A La Perspectiva De Ricoeur, Pol Vandevelde
El Suplemento De La Imaginación En La Narración. O De Cómo Husserl Aporta Un Complemento A La Perspectiva De Ricoeur, Pol Vandevelde
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
I apply Edmund Husserl’s notion of “phantasma”, which he sees as the support for pure imagination, to Ricoeur’s understanding of a narrative of real facts or events. I argue, first, that the phantasma, which plays in pure imagination the same role as sensations in perception, allows us to visualize and experience what is recounted in a narrative; and, second, that this phantasma is analogous to the sensations of perceptions that observers had of these facts and events. This component of imagination in a narrative is precisely what allows a narrative to render facts and events “as they …
