Dieses Buch befasst sich mit dem von Edmund Husserl in seinen Prolegomena zur reinen Logik unternommenen Versuch einer Beschreibung und Fundierung der reinen Logik und seiner Vereinbarkeit mit dem in der VI. Logischen Untersuchung behandelten Konzept der kategorialen Anschauung. Insbesondere geht es dabei um die Frage, ob die kategoriale Anschauung unter die in den Prolegomena vorgestellte Definition des spezifischen Relativismus subsumiert werden kann. Die Relevanz der Frage besteht darin, dass, wenn sie sich positiv beantworten ließe, eine Abweichung vom Antipsychologismus der (...) Prolegomena vorliegen würde. Der Autor argumentiert für die Vereinbarkeit des erwähnten theoretischen Konzepts mit dem Inhalt der Prolegomena. (shrink)

A relation ≺ϕ between noncommuting 1-0 quantum observables (i.e., projections) is introduced, ϕ being the state vector of the system. This relation extends the empirical implication between commuting projections. An operational interpretation of the new relation is given, which can be expressed also in counterfactual terms. It is shown that a relation proposed some years ago by Hardegree, namely the Sasaki arrow ↪ϕ, can be interpreted in terms of the relation ≺ϕ; furthermore, this new relation turns out to be successful (...) also in cases in which the Sasaki arrow fails.

This article claims that the study of irregular migration may be a strategic research material for the development of an adequate understanding of contemporary society. The field, however, suffers not only from a lack of reliable empirical data, but also from endemic undertheorizing. The article shows how the attempt to develop an understanding of irregular migration from within a general theory of modern society has positive consequences both for the clarification of the problems and for the design of research programs (...) able to deal adequately with the phenomena. Particularly, it is argued that a theory of modern society centered on its form of differentiation may help to clarify both the political dimension of contemporary international mobility, the variety of irregular statuses existing in the foreign population of receiving countries, and the condition of inclusion and exclusion of irregular migrants.

Some time ago I advanced on the pages of this journal a critique of the interpretation given by Jay L. Garfield and Mark Siderits (hereafter GS) of Nāgārjuna’s doctrine of the two truths (Ferraro, J Indian Philos 41(2):195–219, 2013.1); to my article the two authors responded with a ‘defense of the semantic interpretation’ of the Madhyamaka doctrine of emptiness (GS, J Indian Philos 41(6):655–664, 2013). Their reply, however, could not consider my personal understanding of Nāgārjuna’s notions of śūnyatā and dve (...) satye. My interpretation of these notions was in fact absent in the paper GS responded, and was only related in a second paper of mine (Ferraro, J Indian Philos 41(5):563–590, 2013.2), still unpublished at the time of GS’s drafting of their ‘defense’. Therefore, in the present rejoinder, I found it appropriate, rather than responding point by point to the passages of GS’s reply, to advance a comparison between the semantic interpretation and my ‘realist antimetaphysical’ understanding of Nāgārjuna’s thought.

Porfirio constitutes an essencial tie in the transition of ancient thought into the Medieval. His writings (he takes in the Enneadas of Plotino and systematically comments the works of Plato and Aristotle), offer a unitary interpretation of both systems which have enormously influenced in the medieval philosophic tradition (Saint Augustine, Boecio, Thomas Aquinas, etc.), a tradition which may be presented as the different forms of Platonism aristotelized, or aristoteleanism platonized.

Il volume raccoglie diversi saggi su teologi ambrosiani dei decenni centrali del XX secolo.

Este livro apresenta uma reconstrução histórica dessa extraordinária jornada filosófica, que começa com os ensinamentos do Buda Siddharta Gautama e é intrinsecamente marcada por eles. Com base em uma abordagem historiográfica original, o autor mostra como as teorias do Desperto contêm as sementes dos vários desenvolvimentos, bem como das marcadas divergências doutrinárias entre as várias linhas de pensamento, escolas e subescolas nas quais a filosofia budista se articula durante a sua permanência (quase bimilenar) no subcontinente indiano.

O caminho do meio entre “ser” e “não-ser” do filósofo budista Nāgārjuna (II d.C.) põe-se como um extraordinário desafio a qualquer metafísica afirmativa ou negativa. A presente obra avalia criticamente diferentes leituras, antigas e contemporâneas, do pensamento desse autor, e apresenta uma interpretação original de um dos seus aspectos mais cruciais: a doutrina das duas verdades.
