Die Mehrheit der Kant-Forscher meint, dass Kant Handlungen bloss als Verhaltnis von Ursache und Wirkung aufgefasst und die Unterschiede zwischen dem Handlungsbegriff und dem Begriff der actio als Bewirken einer Wirkung aufgehoben habe. Luis Placencia zeigt, dass Kants Philosophie, auch wenn sie keine vollstandige Handlungstheorie formuliert hat, im Hinblick auf grundlegende Fragen fruchtbar gemacht werden kann: Was ist das Spezifikum des menschlichen Handelns? Was ist wollen, was ein Wille? Sind Absichten nur Grunde oder zugleich Ursachen des Handelns? Gibt es einen (...) Widerspruch zwischen der Freiheit des Handelns und einer Determination der Natur?

In jungster Zeit wird, wie bereits zur Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert, die Objektivitat historischer Erkenntnis angezweifelt. In ihren objektivitatsskeptischen Argumentationen stutzen sich die vorwiegend postmodern orientierten Autoren auf den essentiell narrativen und perspektivischen Charakter der Geschichtsschreibung. In Historische Erkenntnis zwischen Objektivitat und Perspektivitat soll historische Objektivitat verteidigt werden, ohne sich aber auf eine blosse Destruktion der Objektivitatskritik zu beschranken. Vielmehr mussen einige ihrer Einsichten ernst genommen werden, obschon ihre Schlussfolgerungen nicht bejaht zu werden brauchen. Die Objektivitat historischer Erkenntnis (...) wird in dieser Arbeit in einem Zug mit dem perspektivischen Charakter der Geschichte verteidigt.". (shrink)

Die Psychologie nimmt im Werk Christian Wolffs (1679-1754) eine zentrale Stellung ein. Sie begründet die Logik und die praktische Philosophie mit Naturrecht, Ethik, Politik und Ökonomik. Der vorliegende Band geht den vielfältigen Problemen nach, die sich mit Wolffs Konzeption einer rationalen und einer empirischen Psychologie einerseits, ihrer Grundlegungsfunktion innerhalb des Wolffschen Systems der Philosophie andererseits ergeben. Darüber hinaus stellt er die Psychologie Wolffs in den philosophie- und wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Kontext von der Scholastik bis zur kritischen Philosophie Immanuel Kants.

This Elibron Classics title is a reprint of the original edition published by Leopold Voss in Leipzig, 1878.

This paper argues against the assertion that several of Kant’s writings were published in the form of pirate editions. It seeks to establish that most of the the editions in question (printed between 1769 and 1803) were lawfully printed. Presumably, these editions were to be sold exclusively at book fairs in Frankfurt and Leipzig; both locations are printed on their title pages, although no information on the publisher is provided. The paper also presents crucial results of detailed comparisons of all (...) contemporary editions of Kant’s writings and delivers a short historical sketch of eighteenth-century copyright law and the philosophical debate on this topic. Finally, the importance of book fairs for trading and selling books at that time is emphasized. (shrink)

The Historical Dictionary of Philosophy, the _Historisches Wörterbuch der Philosophie,_ is distinguished by its particular presentation of philosophical terms, ideas and concepts. Rather than providing mere defintions or descriptive and analytical explanantions the _HWPh_ strictly applies the critical method of history of concepts developed by the eminent German scholar and philosopher Joachim Ritter. By means of precise and detailed references it documents the origin, first occurrence, the historical evolution and the changes of meaning of each concept, from Ancient Greek to (...) contemporary philosophy. For the reader this presentation is of unique value: it makes traceable the importance of terms and concepts at certain periods or for a particular philosopher, as well as its changes and development of meaning.

Den einen gilt Nietzsche als Verfasser blendender Aphorismen, in denen zu fast allen Themen kritische bis zynische Pointen zu finden sind, andere schatzen und ehren in ihm den systematischen Denker, dessen Relevanz fur die Geistesgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts kaum zu uberschatzen ist. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt, dass aphoristische wie systematische Aspekte Ausdruck eines Forschungsprogramms sind, welches Nietzsche als historische Philosophie bzw. historisches Philosophieren bezeichnet und praktiziert hat. Die im Werk verstreuten und bislang nicht systematisch ausgewerteten richtungweisenden Formulierungen werden umfassend (...) aufgearbeitet. (shrink)

Gegen einheitswissenschaftliche Nivellierung sind Grundlagen-, Natur- und Kultur- wissenschaften zu unterscheiden . Zu den Kulturwissenschaften gehören die historisch-hermeneutischen Disziplinen, und zwar als handlungsverstehende Wissenschaften unter erschwerten Bedingungen. Die Geschichtswissenschaft soll die verborgenen Gründe und Zwecke vergangener Handlungen aufklären, die Textwissenschaften in Form problematischer Texte vorliegende Sprachhandlungen. Texte können in verschiedener Hinsicht problematisch sein: für ein Verstehensinteresse an begründeten Behauptungen oder an subjektiver Bekundung . Entsprechend ist hier methodisch zwischen apophantischer und ästhetischer Texthermeneutik zu unterscheiden. Ziel aller historisch-hermeneutischen Fächer sollte kritische (...)

Historische Praxeologie richtet ihren Blick auf vergangenen Alltag. Ihr Interesse gilt dem historischen Menschen in seinem alltäglichen Tun und Sprechen, das sie in Praktiken verortet.
