Untersucht wird das Spannungsverhaltnis zwischen einer Theorie der Interpretation, wie sie von den Dialogfiguren vorgetragen wird, und der Praxis der Dichterauslegung, die in den fingierten Gesprachen von Platon inszeniert wird. Methodisch einer historisch reflektierten Hermeneutik des Dialogs verpflichtet, gewinnt die Analyse neue Einsichten zu Platons literarischem und philosophischem Selbstverstandnis.

Viel diskutiert werden in der jungeren Forschung die angeblichen Widerspruche in Aristoteles' Lehre von der Substanz (griech. Ousia) in der Kategorienschrift und im Buch Z der Metaphysik. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Deutungen gelingt es Dirk Fonfara in der vorliegenden Arbeit, durch eine ontologische und epistemologische Hinsichtenunterscheidung die vermeintliche Widerspruchlichkeit zu vermeiden. Aristoteles' Ontologie, die den gottlichen Seinsbereich (Metaphysik XII) mitumfasst, wird abschlieend konzeptionell klassifiziert.

This book provides the English-speaking world with a comprehensive account of the still largely unknown work of Schelling's philosophy of mythology and revelation. Its achievement, however, is not archival but philosophical, elucidating the relation between Schelling and onto-theology. It explains how Schelling dealt with the problem of nihilism and onto-theology well before Nietzsche and Heidegger, arguing that Schelling surpasses onto-theology or the philosophy of presence a century prior to Heidegger. Overall, the author provocatively suggests that Heidegger is perhaps Schelling's genuine...

The word belief is widely assumed to designate a special class of mental states, the attitude of representing something as being the case. This book providesa critique of representationalism by focusing on the role that psychological concepts play in language, the way in which they are used in practice. Offering an alternative conception of their meaning, it finds a new way to deal with Moore s Paradox.

Two treatises on memory which have come down to us from antiquity are Aristotle s On memory and recollection and Plotinus On perception and memory (IV 6); the latter also wrote at length about memory in his Problems connected with the soul (IV 3-4, esp. 3.25-4.6). In both authors memory is treated as a modest faculty: both authors assume the existence of a persistent subject to whom memory belongs; and basic cognitive capacities are assumed on which memory depends. In particular, both theories use phantasia (representation) to explain memory. Aristotle takes representations to be...

This book offers a new interpretation of Hermann von Helmholtz s work on the epistemology of geometry. A detailed analysis of the philosophical arguments of Helmholtz s Erhaltung der Kraft shows that he took physical theories to be constrained by a regulative ideal. They must render nature completely comprehensible, which implies that all physical magnitudes must be relations among empirically given phenomena. This conviction eventually forced Helmholtz to explain how geometry itself could be so construed. Hyder shows how Helmholtz answered this question by drawing on the theory...

The series, founded in 1970, publishes works which either combine studies in the history of philosophy with a systematic approach or bring together systematic studies with reconstructions from the history of philosophy. Monographs are published in English as well as in German.
The founding editors are Erhard Scheibe (editor until 1991), Günther Patzig (until 1999) and Wolfgang Wieland (until 2003). From 1990 to 2007, the series had been co-edited by Jürgen Mittelstraß.

This book is a consideration of Hegel's view on logic and basic logical concepts such as truth, form, validity, and contradiction, and aims to assess this view's relevance for contemporary philosophical logic. The literature on Hegel's logic is fairly rich. The attention to contemporary philosophical logic places the present research closer to those works interested in the link between Hegel's thought and analytical philosophy (Stekeler-Weithofer 1992 and 2019, Berto 2005, Rockmore 2005, Redding 2007, Nuzzo 2010 (ed.), Koch 2014, Brandom 2014, 1-15, Pippin 2016, Moyar 2017, Quante & Mooren...

Ist libertarische Handlungsfreiheit eine Voraussetzung moralischer Verantwortung im tugendethischen Sinn? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wird die libertarische Theorie der bisher in Deutschland noch wenig rezipierten Philosophin Helen Steward analysiert und um eine Theorie der moralischen Verantwortung erweitert. Ihre Kernthese ist, dass Handlungen in vielen Details, durch die Menschen und Tiere neue Anfänge machen können, frei sind. Ausgehend davon wird argumentiert, dass moralische Verantwortung und tugendethische Charakterbildung, bei der Handlungsprozesse und konkrete Umstände im...
