Continental Philosophy - Science topic

Comparative philosophy, distinct from other comparative disciplines, has encountered specific challenges concerning its legitimacy. Scholars have questioned its feasibility, employing Wittgensteinian theories that address the incommensurability of disparate cultures. However, figures such as Robert W. Smid and Ralph Weber argue that comparative phi...

The divide between Analytic and Continental philosophy has profoundly influenced contemporary philosophical discourse, offering distinct approaches to understand logic, language, science, culture, and human experience. Philosophy, hitherto divided into ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary stages, reflects this bifurcation in its contemporary...

Cassirer’s view on ethical objectivity is puzzling. In his scarce comments on Kantian ethics, he defines the “pure will” as a “function of consciousness,” which he considers a prerequisite for the possibility of objective ethical normativity embedded in empirical reality. In the existing body of literature, we find two different interpretations of...

Edited by Artemy Magun The state has been a dominant political form, and the preferred model of political unity , for at least the last two centuries. However, many today speak of its crisis, which stems from two main factors: the state’s changing role in the globalizing international system and the state’s complex relation to democracy, a key nor...

What happens when love unravels one’s knowledge structures? In The Ruins of Solitude, after the birth of a child, Bragg embraces the event of love and examines the resulting disintegration of her supposed authorial subjectivity. Against the pressure to produce and organize knowledge—the pressure of writing a dissertation, for example—Bragg contempl...

Wilhelm Dilthey, a German philosopher, is one of the founders of the continental philosophy of humanities. Following Kant, he regards his intellectual project as the critique of historical reason. This project expresses itself along two main axes: negative and positive. In the negative section, although Dilthey accepts that his project is Kantian a...

This study offers a comprehensive explanation of Sartre's existentialist vision of man's true nature and the concept of freedom in terms of the cognitive categories, moral responsibility, and intelligibility of behaviour of the modern individual. Specifically, the study focuses on the modern individual. It attempts to present some dilemmas about fr...

In continental and analytical philosophy, which developed in parallel in the 20th century, there was a turn to language, which in particular was marked by the creation of a philosophy of dialogue in continental philosophy and dialogical logic in analytical. Despite their significant differences, these two directions have much in common and can sign...

Graham Harman writes that the “basic dualism in the world lies…between things in their intimate reality and things as confronted by other things.” However, dualism implies irreconcilable difference; what Harman points to is better expressed as a dyad, where the two components imply one another and interact. This article shows that systems theory ha...

The distinction between analytic and continental philosophy is not a philosophical distinction. It is a sociological one, incorporating political and psychological dimensions. I shall argue that this distinction is a symptom of, most relevantly, professionalization, and that professionalization excludes philosophy. As a result, the only philosophic...

Despite its formative influence on the subsequent emergence of a supposed ‘divide’ between ‘analytic’ and ‘continental’ philosophy, the clash between the phenomenological tradition and early analytic philosophy is only a small part of a much broader, complex, and multi-faceted ‘parting of the ways’ between various strands of interwar Germanophone p...

This paper explores Quentin Skinner's historiographical thesis, named linguistic contextualism, as a potential challenge to the dichotomy in contemporary philosophy between the ‘analytical’ and ‘continental’ traditions. This divide, rooted in differing approaches to language and methodology, has led to labeling and categorizing philosophers into th...

In this article, I deal with the phenomenon, known to today’s philosophers, as the split between analytic and continental philosophy. I provide a historical-institutional explanation for this split and then a propose a type of doing philosophy beyond the divide, which I call “synthetic philosophy.” Synthetic philosophy should take and synthesize th...

Presence is a palpable sense of space, things and others that overlaps with matters of meaning, yet is not reducible to it: it is a dimension of things that hides in plain sight. This paper is motivated by observations that (1) presence is under-appreciated in questions of modern and nascent human-synthetic agent interaction, and (2) that presence...

This book uses contemporary continental philosophy to develop an alternative theory of the superhero to the one currently offered by the comic book industry and comic book studies. Studying superheroes from South Asian pop culture, this book questions the definition of the superhero and the allegedly sacrosanct nature of its origin and identity in...

The mystery of being touches upon the depths of God’s truth articulated as love [...]

Since I wrote this paper while a graduate student, many years ago, I have expanded and deepened my treatment of text and textuality, in the process exploring other issues related to accessing the past, via "lived experience," and what's called "Continental philosophy," e.g., phenomenology, hermeneutics, Sartre, Heidegger, Deleuze, and other thinker...

Philosophy is traditionally divided into several stages: ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary philosophy. In contemporary philosophy, we encounter two distinct voices. One voice focuses on the analysis of language, logic, and science, while the other engages with existential questions, cultural discourse, literary interpretation, humanism, a...

Alchemy is an idea and a practice that has haunted social imagination since the origin of penmanship. This piece reflects upon this perpetual phenomenon's relationship to (conscious as well as unconscious) desires of surmounting one's phenomenal and material finitude, scarcity, and lacking-as laid out by continental philosophy and psychoanalysis. P...

In Heidegger and his Anglo-American Reception, John Rogove and Pietro D’Oriano have compiled nineteen essays discussing or displaying Heidegger’s influence on anglophone philosophy. The collection includes papers taking a pragmatist approach to the interpretation of Heidegger, as well as papers taking a continentalist approach. In this way, the edi...

International Relations theory, in spite of having undergone several epistemic iterations, continues to analyze urban warfare via outdated perspectives. This is exemplified in the state-centric analyses that dominate the literature on the history of Israel-Palestine. There is an overwhelming concentration on policy and belligerent behaviors and lit...

This paper delves into the striking parallels between the linguistic patterns of Large Language Models (LLMs) and the concepts of psychosis in Lacanian psychoanalysis. Lacanian theory, with its focus on the formal and logical underpinnings of psychosis, provides a compelling lens to juxtapose human cognition and AI mechanisms. LLMs, such as GPT-4,...

This paper mainly discusses some important internal connections between Heidegger’s early philosophical thoughts, especially the phenomenological theory of time and Dasein’s existentialism, and Husserl’s phenomenology of inner time consciousness, so as to provide some favorable perspectives for a clearer understanding of the overall ideological con...

This book explores how social robots and synthetic social agents will change our social systems and intersubjective relationships. It is obvious that technology influences societies. But how, and under what conditions do these changes occur? This book provides a theoretical foundation of the social implications of artificial intelligence and robot...

La obra del Marqués de Sade ha sido objeto de múltiples comentarios e interpretaciones filosóficas, particularmente de quienes se han ocupado de analizar críticamente la modernidad, enjuiciando las consecuencias de la institución de la subjetividad del individuo moderno y los pro cesos sociales que le han servido de sostén. La obra de Sade despe...

Since the mid-20th century, the so-called analytic philosophy has been considered the dominant philosophical tradition in English-speaking countries, especially England and the United States. Despite this, there is still no clarity or the slightest consensus on what analytic philosophy means. Given this scenario, I argue in this paper that analytic...

Background When theoretically discussing pain, the distinction between acute and chronic pain is not always taken into consideration. By contrast, informed by the pain medicine distinction between acute and chronic pain, the present theoretical paper analyses the phenomena of chronicity and chronification in the pain setting. Methods Philosopher F...

Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Wittgenstein are two of the most important philosophers of twentieth-century philosophy, and their ideas became the founders of two major philosophical traditions (Continental Philosophy and Anglo-Saxon Philosophy). Their ideas were formed on the basis of a common problematic consciousness, i.e. a critique of the philoso...

Emanuele Severino (1929-2020) and Luigi Capitano (1963-) claim that contemporary nihilism originates from Giacomo Leopardi. Severino is the first one to outline this idea. His reading exerts a great fascination and has been an absolute novelty in Leopardi studies and, in general, in contemporary continental philosophy. On such basis, Capitano adva...

Through this contribution I aim to explore the horizons and limits of digital medicine in light of an embodied approach to the issue of care. I will sketch the historical background of digital medicine and show the contemporary status of this interdisciplinary field, as well as its applications and outcomes. Then, I will address a critique of the c...

A Continental philosophy approach illuminates the BioEpisteme as an information science knowledge regime, analyzing implications of the digital encoding and manipulation of biology with critical genealogies of unreason, episteme, and autoimmunity.

In Continental Philosophy of Psychiatry: The Lure of Madness Alastair Morgan surveys the contributions of a loosely conceived school of psychiatrists, philosophers and social theorists to understanding and responding to madness during the years 1910–1980. Taking my cue from him, I highlight some of the contributors discussed in Morgan's book and re...

Theories of meaning developed within the analytic tradition, starting with Gottlob Frege, and within continental philosophy, starting with Husserl, can be distinguished by their disagreement about the phenomenon of collapse or failure of meaning. Our text focuses on Frege’s legacy, taken up by Rudolph Carnap, which culminated in a view of the colla...

Embodied Idealism: Merleau-Ponty’s Transcendental Philosophy argues that Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s early thought—primarily as found in The Structure of Behavior and Phenomenology of Perception—stands as a form of transcendental idealism. This interpretation runs against the grain of much of the Merleau-Ponty scholarship, and opposing interpretations...

a survey of continental philosophy's response to the coronvirus: Nancy, Latour, Sloterdijk and Zizek.

ssue 2023:1 of In Statu Nascendi comprises, amongst others, the following articles: · Ethics of AI and Robotics from an non Anthopomorphic and Zoomorphic Perspective · On the German Foreign Policy Sonderweg: The Mittellage and the Mitteleuropa · Gödel’s non-completeness theorems as hermeneutic questioning in Mathematics · Integrating Ontology in st...

In a recent Metaphilosophy article, Moti Mizrahi and Michael Dickinson argue against characterizing the divide between analytical and continental philosophy as a divide in the use of arguments. This hypothesis is rejected on the basis of a text‐mining approach. The present paper argues that the results they extracted do not answer the questions the...

This article is a book review of The Three Sustainabilities: Energy, Economy, Time (University of Minnesota Press, 2021) by Allan Stoekl. The book marks a new contribution to the critical theory of ecology by one of the translators of the writings of George Bataille. The article situates the book in relation to Stoekl’s previous theorization of pos...

In modern continental philosophy, nihilism has taken place as an important train of thought, both as a consequence of Christian European society and as a novel skeptic argument. It calls for the total removal of current society because humanity has now metaphorically taken the place of God and thus should create its own values and structure. The re...

Eve Tuck’s reflection on a “breakup with Deleuze” and her critical feminist relationship toward Deleuze’s philosophical position leads to my exploration of a feminist approach to a theory of concepts. I argue that in order to be applicable and useful for feminist philosophical scholarship, concepts assume a sheltering function for experiences that...

In this paper, I argue that critical posthumanism is a crucial tool in nursing philosophy and scholarship. Posthumanism entails a reconsideration of what 'human' is and a rejection of the whole tradition founding Western life in the 2500 years of our civilization as narrated in founding texts and embodied in governments, economic formations and eve...

This essay bridges two disparate lines of inquiry: Large Language Models (LLMs) and continental philosophy, specifically Martin Heidegger's reflections on language and Jacques Lacan's structural psychoanalysis grounded in Sigmund Freud's theories. We argue that the linguistic conceptualizations put forth by Heidegger, Freud, and Lacan, primarily em...

The paper aims to unite two currently distinct ways of thinking about and working with language. Large language models and continental philosophy, especially Martin Heidegger's thinking about language and, building on Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan's structural psychoanalysis. We show that the concept of language that Heidegger, Freud, and Lacan disc...

Alenka Zupančič (born 1966) is a distinguished Lacanian philosopher and social theorist from Slovenia whose work focuses on psychoanalysis and continental philosophy. She is a professor of philosophy and psychoanalysis at the European Graduate School, and a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy at the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts. Toget...

The years following Israel’s founding were formative ones for the development of philosophy as an academic discipline in this country. During this period, the distinction between philosophy seen as contiguous with the humanities and social sciences, and philosophy seen as adjacent to the natural and exact sciences began to make its presence felt in...

Acquiring a basic knowledge of philosophy is usually a deprioritised choice for students in undergraduate programmes. Even a basic philosophy course is seldom mandatory in the hard sciences, although it may be an option in the social sciences. While many undergraduate teacher education programmes have stand-alone courses in the philosophy of educat...

This article explores the theme of nihilism from the perspective of post-continental philosophy by focusing on semiotics and information theory and the question of “meaning” at stake between them. Nihilism is characterised here as an avatar of the counter-Enlightenment tradition. Post-continental philosophy is defined by a positive revaluation of r...

Paul Ricoeur (1992) draws on Aristotle’s 'The Nichomachean Ethics' to define the ethical intent as follows: “Living the good life with and for others in just institutions.” Ricoeur points out that this definition encompasses first person (the one living the good life), second person (with and for others) and third person (in just institutions) inte...

What gave to French semiotics, which has dominated most of the second half of the 20th century, its epistemological strength, has, nonetheless, represented its foremost deficiency: beginning with the three possible directions of sign analysis, semantics, syntax and pragmatics, the project of structural semiotics has abridged semantics to syntax and...

It calls for the total removal of current society because humanity has now metaphorically taken the place of God and thus should create its own values and structure. The re...

Within continental philosophy of biology the work of Michel Serres has not received a lot of attention. Nonetheless, this chapter wants to argue that Serres was part of a group of thinkers – together with Jacques Monod and Henri Atlan – that started to think about biology in terms of second-order cybernetics and information theory. Therefore, this...

Ethics applied to Artificial Intelligence (AI), improperly called AI ethics, is mainly addressed through a Western perspective focusing on continental philosophy. As a result, discussions on ethics applied to AI are shaped by the West.

The aim of this paper is to bring Gilles Deleuze and the Kyoto School into an imaginary conversation around the idea of philosophy as a way of life, or what I call ethico-aesthetics. I first show how ethico-aesthetics in the Kyoto School modernizes the traditional notion of geidō, or ways of art, through the language of continental philosophy. Even...

In this explorative paper, I propose that relatively recent trends in Western continental philosophy can provide a much more commensurate access to Chinese philosophy than found in most mainstream Western philosophy. More specifically, I argue that three prominent European philosophical approaches to interpretation can offer meaningful parallels to...

As implied by the title this article deals with a key question running through the history of philosophy virtually since antiquity. This is the question of the relationship, on ontological grounds, of the transcendental and the mundane "universes" to the extent that the nature of transcendence, even as detached from the metaphysical sphere and reca...

Reza Davari Ardakani (1933-) during more than five decades of active presence in contemporary philosophy and humanities of Iran, has tried to understand, analyze and pathologize the experience of contemporary Iran in the face of modernity and philosophy and humanities related to it. to pay Dr. Davari's reading of the relationship between modernity,...

Jean-François Lyotard’s intellectual evolution in the late 1970s and 1980s is well known in continental philosophy. In 1979, with the publication of The Postmodern Condition, Lyotard became famous for his report on “the obsolescence of the metanarrative apparatus of legitimation”. Later, in his magnum opus Le diférend he expanded on this, claiming...

In a 1978 lecture in Tokyo, Foucault drew a comparison between his own philosophical methodology and that of ‘Anglo-Saxon analytic philosophy’, claiming the label ‘analytic philosophy of politics’ for his own approach. This may seem like a somewhat surprising comparison given the gulf between contemporary analytic and continental philosophy, but I...

While the term ‘social work’ has established itself internationally, many countries have alternative social professions with rich histories and distinct theory bases. This article examines a German example by theoretically considering a discipline central to child welfare: social pedagogy. The frameworks of key theorists are presented, reconstructi...

The article provides historical and philosophical reconstruction of the emergence and development of the philosophy of psychiatry. The main cases of interaction between philosophy and psychiatry in the context of the development of the history of philosophical thought from antiquity to the present are demonstrated. The key points of interaction bet...

Albert Maslow points out that Wittgenstein dedicated a copy of the Tractatus to Morris Schlick with the following sentence: “ Jeder disese Sätze ist der Ausdruck einer Krankheit ” (Each of this propositions is the manifestation of a disease.) We will try to see some of the treatments to see if the remedy is not, in many cases, worse than the diseas...

This article examines the milieu of Hermann Rorschach's Psychodiagnostics (1921/2021) under development between 1911 and his death in 1922 and explores new evidence about the direction Rorschach's test might have taken after publication of Psychodiagnostics. This includes direct and indirect influences from turn of the century continental philosoph...

In his influential After Finitude. An Essay on the Necessity of Contingency (2008), Quentin Meillassoux argues that *Correlationism* (an umbrella-term encompassing most varieties of Idealism) gives rise to an irresolvable paradox, called "the Paradox of the Arche-fossil", which is essentially a clash between philosophical principles and scientific...

Does the ‘Zeitenwende’ herald the beginning of a new and as yet undefined open society realism? The present essay argues this question requires critical discussion of nature and value of realist political theory, particularly at a time where international society is accelerating to somewhere which is itself as yet unclear. Adding to revisionist res...

In L’institution, la passivité. Notes de cours au Collège de France (1954-1955), Maurice Merleau-Ponty develops approaches to a concept of the unconscious that can also be relevant to a mental philosophy from the perspective of cognitive science and AI in the tradition of continental philosophy. I consider this all the more important as previous at...

The discovery of Indian spiritual traditions is that, "work, and not culture is the fundamental aspect of being human". Work as karma is independent of Identity (samsara). Identity is the consequence of work, and culture is its composite effect. Clinging to culture dissipates work. Culture is reborn through habit, beyond contexts. Culture is samsar...

The Dauphine Phenomenology Workshop (DPW) is an annual event focused on continental philosophies and their relationships with social sciences in general, and Management and Organization Studies in particular. Although primarily interested in phenomenologies and post-phenomenologies, our agora also covers all major philosophical ventures linked to c...

This paper examines the philosophy of Jean-Francois Lyotard in relation to the analytic philosophy of deep disagreement. It argues not just that his work has relevance for this debate, but that it offers a challenge to the ‘epistemic paradigm’ present in its academic literature, represented by the two most prominent sets of theories within it – the...

This essay claims that Stiegler’s sense of metaphor gives his work an overlooked rigour. Part one argues that La Faute d’Epiméthée’s key claim (that technics is philosophy’s “unthought”) opens an excess of potential that threatens to overwhelm Stiegler’s work. Part two looks at two metaphors (the pharmakon and organ). Part three argues that a focus...

The article discusses the possibility of qualitative completion of the anthropological matrix proposed in this issue of the journal. We give a methodological distinction between the filling that proceeds from ready-made theses, and the filling in that has an individual as the object of application and critical verification of the theses, and the fi...

The research in this paper attempts to outline the connection between Hegel’s concept of action and the contemporary philosophy of action. Hegel’s concept of action has some features in common with the ideas of analytical philosophers, and might open unexpected integration of these different philosophical traditions, which would contribute to the d...

This paper examines works in two of the major streams of thought in contemporary Continental philosophy of religion and theology—theopoetics and political theology—that loosely hang together by two shared threads: philosopher‐cum‐(radical)theologian John D. Caputo and the question of how to live well with the Other. After examining each book in tur...

This paper reconsiders the new mobilities paradigm and its relevance for the understanding of transport systems and behaviour. It argues that the mobilities field will gain from more systematically drawing on conceptual and empirical insights from psychology to complement insights as mostly derived from sociology, geography, innovation studies, ant...

What is fundamental in vision has been discussed for millennia. For philosophical realists and the physiological approach to vision, the objects of the outer world are truly given, and failures to perceive objects properly, such as in illusions, are just sporadic misperceptions. The goal is to replace the subjectivity of the mind by careful physiol...

In this contribution we first sketch an outline of the concept of lifeworld ( Lebenswelt ), to introduce the readers to the guest-edited collection of essays Varieties of the Lifeworld: Phenomenology and Aesthetic Experience , special issue of the “Continental Philosophy Review.” We trace back the origin of the concept of lifeworld to Husserl’s lat...

This book contains meditations on the personal soul and imagination viewed through poetics (written and painted). The conversations navigate through the past, presence, and future of art, with particular insights into poetry and painting. References, metaphors, analogies, images range from Western literature and poetry (Shakespearean vision, Goethe...

The use of genomic selection in agricultural animal breeding is in academic literature generally considered an ethically unproblematic development, but some critical views have been offered. Our paper shows that an important preliminary question for any ethical evaluation of (innovations in) genomic selection is how the scope of discussion should b...

In this study, I explore the challenges that ideological hegemonies of personhood imbibed by nurses and other healthcare workers could pose for the nursing profession, particularly in terms of inhibiting the acknowledgment of difference. Dominant or hegemonic conceptions of personhood in particular spaces often consist of self‐contained ideas and e...

The paper wants to contribute to promotion of the dialogue between the mouvements of the continental philosophy, especially phenomenology, and analitical philosophy. In the first part, the basic articulations of the Merleau-Ponty's theory of freedom are presented; in the second part, is presented the specificity of the Merleau-Ponty's theory of fre...

Contemporary political theory is a game. Individuals compete to publish in ‘top’ journals, to amass greater numbers of publications than their peers; then journal-ranking is combined with number of publications generating scores. The aim is to get the most points. Whoever gets the most points wins: they get the best jobs and the most prestige. This...

What could it mean to think “after the theological turn”? This article proposes one possible answer by reframing the theological turn in light of the way in which Paul’s kenosis serves as a metaphor for deconstruction in a variety of continental philosophers who are all nevertheless hostile to overt theologising. Tracking this notion through the hi...

Violence, Slavery and Freedom between Hegel and Fanon is a volume of secondary literature that dispels common misconceptions about the relationship between Hegelian and Fanonian philosophy, and sheds new light on the connections and divergences between the two thinkers. By engaging in close textual analyses of both Hegel and Fanon, the chapters in...

Direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising (DTCPA) is pervasive in the United States. Beyond its effect on consumer behavior, DTCPA changes the relationship between individuals and physicians. The author provides a brief history of pharmaceutical advertising in the United States. The author then analyzes the current commonly used marketing techn...

This article retrieves Freud’s Paul as a forgotten predecessor and untapped critic of the “return to Paul” in contemporary political theology and continental philosophy. Given that Sigmund Freud published Moses and Monotheism in 1939 having barely escaped from Vienna, the text’s reception has justly been dominated by the question of Freud’s identif...

This paper addresses the relation between Luce Irigaray’s work and politics by asking what it means to read her work locally, in place. The philosophical work of Indigenous scholar, Mary Graham, on the law of obligation, serves to ground such a local reading presenting, simultaneously, a case for a uniquely Australian philosophy. By way of suggesti...

This paper examines French philosopher Sarah Kofman’s fractured relationships to her identities as Jew and woman. Active participant in postwar debates surrounding deconstruction and psychoanalysis, acclaimed reader of Freud and Nietzsche, and interlocutor of Derrida, Kofman is today most widely remembered for her autobiographical writings about he...

This article explores the development of continental philosophy of critical transcendentalism after World War II. The intention to interpret Kant’s transcendentalism corresponds both to the demand to establish feasibility and necessity of conclusive rational grounds for the validity of our cognition and to the need to legitimise the claim of philos...

Continuation by innovation By "continental philosophy" I shall mean primarily phenomenology, which had its birthplace on "the continent" but now enjoys residence almost everywhere; but I shall also mean the "Heidelberg School," i.e., Dieter Henrich and his students, primarily Manfred Frank. Through the work of these thinkers, along with phenomenolo...

Colloquy is an open access journal published by postgraduate students in the Literary and Cultural Studies Graduate Research Program at Monash University. Colloquy publishes articles from across the theoretical humanities, including literary and cultural studies, critical theory, continental philosophy, film and television studies, communication a...

Two traditions seem to be separated by an ocean of divergent ideas, traditions, histories and interests. Continental philosophy on the one hand, with phenomenologies, analytical philosophy and French theories, are grounded in old European traditions of intellectualism. American philosophy, on the other hand, appears as a new impetus, from transcend...

In Horos, Thea Potter explores the complex relationship between classical philosophy and the ‘horos’, a stone that Athenians erected to mark the boundaries of their marketplace, their gravestones, their roads and their private property.Potter weaves this history into a meditation on the ancient philosophical concept of horos, the foundational proje...
