Wilfrid Sellars tackled the difficult problems of reconciling Pittsburgh school–style analytic thought, Husserlian phenomenology, and the Myth of the Given.This collection of essays brings into dialogue the analytic philosophy of Wilfrid Sellars—founder of the Pittsburgh school of thought—and phenomenology, with a special focus on the work of Edmund Husserl. The book's wide-ranging discussions include the famous Myth of the Given but also more traditional problems in the philosophy of mind and phenomenology such as thestatus of perception and imaginationnature of intentionalityconcept of motivationrelationship between linguistic and nonlinguistic experiencesrelationship between conceptual and preconceptual experiences Moreover, the volume addresses the conflicts between Sellars's manifest and scientific images of the world and Husserl's ontology of the life-world. The volume takes as a point of departure Sellars's criticism of the Myth of the Given, but only to show the many problems that label obscures. Contributors explain aspects of Sellars's philosophy vis-à-vis Husserl's phenomenology, articulating the central problems and solutions of each. The book is a must-read for scholars and students interested in learning more about Sellars and for those comparing Continental and analytic philosophical thought.ContributorsWalter HoppWolfgang HuemerRoberta LanfrediniDanilo MancaKarl MertensAntonio NunzianteJacob RumpDaniele De SantisMichela Summa

Philosophy of Wilhelm Schapp
From Phenomenology to Jurisprudence and the Hermeneutics of Stories
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Despite studying with Heinrich Rickert in Freiburg, Wilhelm Dilthey in Berlin, and Edmund Husserl in Göttingen, Wilhelm Schapp (1884-1965) has, until now, been largely neglected in phenomenological scholarship. As the first English-language volume dedicated to Schapp’s thought, this book seeks to correct this by investigating Schapp’s pioneering philosophy, his relationship to his contemporaries, and what we can learn from his work today. In three parts, leading international scholars introduce the key themes of Schapp’s philosophy, from his early writings to his mature reflections. The first part explores his phenomenology of perception and the bodily dimension of our existence in the world. Focus then moves to Schapp’s philosophy of law and his ideas on the problem of value-based experience, followed lastly by his hermeneutics of stories and the narrative essence of human beings. The volume closes with an autobiographical piece by Schapp himself. Translated here in English for the first time, Schapp retrospectively outlines his position in relation to Husserl and the phenomenological school more broadly. Crossing the divide between continental and analytic philosophy, The Philosophy of Wilhelm Schapp not only provides a fresh insight into the early development of the phenomenological tradition, but also demonstrates the relevance of Schapp’s thought to recent debates in areas from the philosophy of mind to the theory of contracts.

Husserl's Critique of Heidegger. Volume 1

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Winner of the Edward Goodwin Ballard Prize as announced at the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy Meeting on September 27, 2024 The book offers a systematic reconstruction of the disagreement between Husserl and Heidegger from the former's perspective, but without falling into any form of Husserlian apologetics. The main thesis is that Husserl's critique of Heidegger's existential analytics as a form of philosophical anthropology entails a deeper fundamental thesis, namely that Heidegger confuses the object of first philosophy (the transcendental determination of the subject) with metaphysics (in the Husserlian sense of the expression). Addressing the Husserl-Heidegger confrontation, this text provides the first systematic reconstruction of Husserl's conception of the system of philosophy from the perspective of his later works, with a special focus on the Cartesian Meditations. At stake in Husserl's critique of Heidegger's philosophy in Being and Time is the refusal to transcendentalize the irrational aspects and nature of our human existence. This first volume addresses Husserl's doctrine of transcendental idealism with the aim of elucidating the distinction between first philosophy, second philosophies and what Husserl calls last philosophy. This volume appeals to students and researchers.

This second volume focuses on the question of being, clarifying the distinction between ontology and metaphysics in Husserl's thought. In fact, contrary to a long-standing and established interpretive tradition, according to which Husserl's phenomenology is metaphysically neutral, the book shows to what extent Husserl always understood as the ultimate goal of his philosophizing the positive foundation of a metaphysics. This volume appeals to students and researchers.

This book is the first attempt at a critical edition of selected works and letters by Maximilian Beck—the “forgotten phenomenologist”. Maximilian, or Max, Beck was one of the representatives of the early phenomenological tradition and in particular of the so-called “Munich” phenomenological circle. In the introductory chapter, Daniele De Santis presents his life, his most important publications and the general character of his philosophy. Beck supported a strong objectivism in ontology and theory of ideas and advocated a radical form of "naïve realism" in the theory of knowledge. He was the author of the first long, critical discussion of Heidegger’s Being and Time and a radical critic of all forms of transcendentalism and idealism, especially those of Husserl and Heidegger.Dieses Buch ist der erste Versuch einer textkritischen Ausgabe ausgewählter Werke und Briefe von Maximilian Beck—dem „vergessenen Phänomenologen“. Maximilian, oder Max, Beck war einer der Vertreter der frühen phänomenologischen Tradition und insbesondere des sogenannten „Münchner“ Phänomenologiekreises. In der Einleitung stellt Daniele De Santis sein Leben, seine Veröffentlichungen und den allgemeinen Charakter seiner Philosophie vor. Beck unterstützte einen starken Objektivismus in der Ontologie und Ideentheorie und vertrat einen „naïven Realismus“ in der Erkenntnistheorie. Beck war der Autor der ersten langen und kritischen Besprechung von Heideggers Sein und Zeit und ein Kritiker aller Formen von Transzendentalismus und Idealismus, insbesondere derjenigen von Husserl und Heidegger.
