Melancholy As An Aesthetic Emotion, Emily Brady, Arto Haapala

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

In this article, we want to show the relevance and importance of melancholy as an aesthetic emotion. Melancholy often plays a role in our encounters with art works, and it is also present in some of our aesthetic responses to the natural environment. Melancholy invites aesthetic considerations to come into play not only in well-defined aesthetic contexts but also in everyday situations that give reason for melancholy to arise. But the complexity of melancholy, the fact that it is fascinating in itself, suggests the further thought that it may be considered as an aesthetic emotion per se. To this end, …

Ariadne At The Movies, John Dilworth

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

Films are usually assumed to be types, with their templates or performances being tokens of those types. However, I give a counter-example in which two different films are simultaneously made by different directors, with the outcome of this process being a single template length of film which, I claim, embodies both of those films. But no two types could thus have a token in common, and hence type views of films must be incorrect. I further explain and defend the legitimacy of the example, and conclude by offering an alternative, representational view of the nature of films that can also …

Multiple Inheritance And Film Identity: A Reply To Dilworth, Aaron Smuts

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

I argue that Dilworth has not shown the type / token theory of film identity to be non-viable, since there is no reason to think that a single object cannot be a token of two types. Even if we assume a single inheritance view of types, Dilworth's argument runs into other problems. Dilworth does not provide any convincing argument for why intentions are necessary for identifying film and why production history alone will not suffice for identifying hardly conceivable forgeries. Intention is not necessary for distinguishing between fakes and the real thing, nor is it necessary to differentiate between two …

Reflecting The Pacific, Wolfgang Welsch

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

The title of my article has a double meaning: on the one hand, I intend to reflect the Pacific Ocean in the sense of mirroring it; and on the other, of course, also to think about this mirroring, to reflect on it.

Poiesis And Art-Making: A Way Of Letting-Be, Derek H. Whitehead Ph.D.

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

This article is both philosophical and practical in its intent. It endeavors to bring into focus an idea with an Ancient Greek lineage, poiesis, and determine whether it may revitalise our thinking about the 'making' of art. The art-making considered in this paper will concentrate exclusively on Western art and its historical and contemporary manifestations. I suggest that poiesis - that which "pro-duces or leads (a thing) into being'" - may enable practitioners in the varying art forms, and aestheticians who reflect upon them, to come to a deeper sense of how artworks work: that they realize themselves inter-dependently …

An Exchange On Disinterestedness, Ronald Hepburn

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

The idea of aesthetic disinterestedness has been a central concept in aesthetics since the late eighteenth century. This exchange offers a contemporary reconsideration of disinterestedness from different sides of the question.

On The Polemical Nature Of 2 (Slavonic) Enoch: A Reply To C. Böttrich, Andrei Orlov

Theology Faculty Research and Publications

Adam's story occupies a prominent place in 2 Slavonic (Apocalypse of) Enoch. The traditions pertaining to the first human can be found in all the sections of the book. In these materials Adam is depicted as a glorious angelic being, predestined by God to be the ruler of the earth, but falling short of God's expectations. The article argues that the extensive presence of Adamic materials in 2 Enoch has a polemical nature since it is related to the long-lasting competition between Adamic and Enochic traditions. The analysis shows that the polemics taking place in 2 Enoch involve a …

Die Konkretion Des Ich Und Das Problem Der Ichspaltung In Husserls Phänomenologischer Reduktion, Sebastian Luft

Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications

Vorliegender Aufsatz behandelt einen wichtigen Aspekt innerhalb Husserls später Gedanken zur Reduktion: den der Ichspaltung. Unterschieden werden zwei Formen von Ichspaltung: eine, die als "natürliche" bezeichnet werden kann und die im Rahmen der natürlichen Einstellung vorkommt. Die zweite und radikalere Form der Ichspaltung ist die Reduktion selbst, die das Ich in natürliches und transzendentales "aufspaltet", - so scheint es zumindest zunächst. Die höherstufige Reflexion innerhalb der Reduktion jedoch enthüllt diese Spaltung als eine uneigentliehe; denn für Husserl hat die· Reduktion in Wahrheit den Sinn, das Ich erstmals in seiner vollen "Konkretion" zu enthüllen.

The present paper deals with an important …

(2003) Transforming How Teachers Teach And How Students Learn, Laurance J. Splitter

Collected Papers of Laurance J. Splitter

For some time, I have been interested in taking the idea of the community of inquiry (COI) beyond the context of philosophy and philosophy for children, to other subject areas and learning areas. We sometimes speak in impressively general terms about transforming "the classroom" into a community of inquiry assuming, perhaps, that once the practice of collective inquiry is established in one domain (eg philosophy), it will inevitably spread to others by the community itself. Another, somewhat more provocative way of stating this claim is to say that not only can subjects other than philosophy be taught as modes or …
