Book Synopsis Continuity, Quantum, Continuum, and Dialectic by : Mark E. Blum
Download or read book Continuity, Quantum, Continuum, and Dialectic written by Mark E. Blum and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuity, quantum, continuum, and dialectic are foundational logics of Western historical thought. The historiographical method to discern them is a critique of historical reason. Through 'stylistics' Mark E. Blum demonstrates how the inner temporal experience of the person shapes both judgment and historical action. Blum's work augments the epistemology of Immanuel Kant, Wilhelm Dilthey, and Edmund Husserl. Studies of significant persons from Shakespeare through the Framers of the American Constitution, as well as contemporary adolescents, illustrate the intergenerational presence of these historical logics. Courses in historical method, phenomenological philosophy, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and literary theory can benefit from Blum's findings and approach.
Book Synopsis Phenomenology and Historical Thought by : Mark E. Blum
Download or read book Phenomenology and Historical Thought written by Mark E. Blum and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume begins with what is in common to contemporary phenomenological historians and historiographers. That is the understandings that temporality is the core of human judgment conditioning in its forms how we consciously attend and judge phenomena. For every phenomenological historian or historiographer, all history is an event, a span of time. This time span is not external to the individual, rather forms the content and structure of every judgment of the person. It is the logic used by the individual to structure the phenomenon attended. Rather than the phenomenon being seen as something solely external, it is understood by phenomenologists as also of our immediate awareness and thought. Thus, the phenomenological method discerns all judgment as based upon one’s span of attention of inner or outer phenomena.. There is an intentionality to attention. One intends one’s own foci. Attention is the temporal duration of that intending. The volume offers a text that enables contemporary historians, graduate students, and even undergraduates who are well taught, to understand both the history of phenomenology as a method of inquiry, and the contemporary practice of phenomenological historical and historiographical thought.
Book Synopsis Psychology and History by : Cristian Tileagă
Download or read book Psychology and History written by Cristian Tileagă and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As disciplines, psychology and history share a primary concern with the human condition. Yet historically, the relationship between the two fields has been uneasy, marked by a long-standing climate of mutual suspicion. This book engages with the history of this relationship and possibilities for its future intellectual and empirical development. Bringing together internationally renowned psychologists and historians, it explores the ways in which the two disciplines could benefit from a closer dialogue. Thirteen chapters span a broad range of topics, including social memory, prejudice, stereotyping, affect and emotion, cognition, personality, gender and the self. Contributors draw on examples from different cultural contexts - from eighteenth-century Britain, to apartheid South Africa, to conflict-torn Yugoslavia - to offer fresh impetus to interdisciplinary scholarship. Generating new ideas, research questions and problems, this book encourages researchers to engage in genuine dialogue and place their own explorations in new intellectual contexts.

Book Synopsis Art Inspiring Transmutations of Life by : Patricia Trutty Coohill
Download or read book Art Inspiring Transmutations of Life written by Patricia Trutty Coohill and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the creative impulse surges in revolt against everyday reality, breaking through its confines, it makes pacts with that reality’s essential laws and returns to it to modulate its sense. In fact, it is through praxis that imagination and artistic inventiveness transmute the vital concerns of life, giving them human measure. But at the same time art’s inspiration imbues life with aesthetic sense, which lifts human experience to the spiritual. Within these two perspectives art launches messages of specifically human inner propulsions, strivings, ideals, nostalgia, yearnings prosaic and poetic, profane and sacral, practical and ideal, while standing at the fragile borderline of everydayness and imaginative adventure. Art’s creative perduring constructs are intentional marks of the aesthetic significance attributed to the flux of human life and reflect the human quest for repose. They mediate communication and participation in spirit and sustain the relative continuity of culture and history.
Book Synopsis Marxism and Phenomenology by : Bryan Smyth
Download or read book Marxism and Phenomenology written by Bryan Smyth and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marxism and Phenomenology: The Dialectical Horizons of Critique, edited by Bryan Smyth and Richard Westerman, offers new perspectives on the possibility of a philosophical outlook that combines Marxism and phenomenology in the critique of capitalism. Although Marxism’s focus on impersonal social structures and phenomenology’s concern with lived experience can make these traditions appear conceptually incompatible, the potential critical force of a theoretical reconciliation inspired several attempts in the twentieth century to articulate a phenomenological Marxism. Updating and extending this approach, the contributors to this volume identify and develop new and previously overlooked connections between the traditions, offering new perspectives on Marx, Husserl, and Heidegger; exploring themes such as alienation, reification, and ecology; and examining the intersection of Marxism and phenomenology in figures such as Michel Henry, Walter Benjamin, and Frantz Fanon. These glimpses of a productive reconciliation of the respective strengths of phenomenology and Marxism offer promising possibilities for illuminating and resolving the increasingly intense social crises of capitalism in the twenty-first century.
Book Synopsis The Mission of Demythologizing by : David W. Congdon
Download or read book The Mission of Demythologizing written by David W. Congdon and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 989 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rudolf Bultmann's controversial program of demythologizing has been the subject of constant debate since it was first announced in 1941. It is widely held that this program indicates Bultmann's departure from the dialectical theology he once shared with Karl Barth. In the 1950s, Barth thus referred to their relationship as that of a whale and an elephant: incapable of meaningful communication. This study proposes a contrary reading of demythologizing as the hermeneutical fulfillment of dialectical theology on the basis of a reinterpretation of Barth's theological project.
Book Synopsis The Metahistory of Western Knowledge in the Modern Era by : Mark E. Blum
Download or read book The Metahistory of Western Knowledge in the Modern Era written by Mark E. Blum and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a study of the evolving history of knowledge in the arts and sciences in the modern era – from 1648 through the present. Modernism is treated as an epoch with evolving disciplines whose articulated problems of a time and the inquiry methods to address them, develop in a coordinated manner, given a mutual awareness. When one organizes the development of knowledge over periods of years, and gives it an appellation such as “Modernism,” the organization of facts is guided by concepts and values discerned throughout these periods. These facts of knowledge development share sufficient understandings to be called an “era,” or an “epoch,” or other terms that insist on the shared aspects of those years. One can call such an effort a “metahistory,” in that what is tracked is not merely a knowledge that is political, economic, ideological, sociological, or scientific, but an overview that tracks the respective conceptual developments of the fields in how they have changed and augmented their problem formulations, inquiry methods, and explanatory conceptions over time.

Book Synopsis Logos of Phenomenology and Phenomenology of The Logos. Book Three by : Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka
Download or read book Logos of Phenomenology and Phenomenology of The Logos. Book Three written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-07-19 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated at the crossroads of nature and culture, physics and consciousness, cosmos and life, history – intimately conjoined with time – continues to puzzle the philosopher as well as the scientist. Does brute nature unfold a history? Does human history have a telos? Does human existence have a purpose? Phenomenology of life projects a new interrogative system for reexamining these questions. We are invited to follow the logos of life as it spins in innumerable ways the interplay of natural factors, human passions, social forces, science and experience – through interruptions and kairic moments of accomplishment – in the human creative imagination and intellective reasoning. There then run a cohesive thread of reality.

Book Synopsis German and Austrian-German Historical Thought in the Modern Era by : Mark E. Blum
Download or read book German and Austrian-German Historical Thought in the Modern Era written by Mark E. Blum and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every nation develops a narrative structure for thinking about history that is generated by its own historical experience. In this study, the German and Austrian-German “historias”—the way narratives of factual significance are structured as the “story” of events—are shown in their sameness from the late 1600s to the present. This “historia” shapes the emphasis of how meaning is articulated among the historians of a society. The author argues that German and Austrian-German societies would benefit from understanding the constrictions and oversights generated by the narrative style of their traditional historias.
Book Synopsis Writing History in the Third Republic by : Isabel Noronha-DiVanna
Download or read book Writing History in the Third Republic written by Isabel Noronha-DiVanna and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02-19 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing History in the Third Republic offers new insight to the historiographical output of French historians between 1860 and 1914, a period often referred to as of positivistic historians or the école méthodique. Asserting their independence from Germanic influence by emphasising the French element in their work, historians in the period described their approach as methodical and positivistic and maintained that this was a distinctively French way of studying history. A heightened concern with sources, with facts as basis for all true knowledge, and with truth itself were unifying elements of the historiography of those historians now called école méthodique. The école represented the most sophisticated theoretical considerations about history and a method for historical studies in French academia in the late nineteenth century. The purpose of this book is to reassess whether or not this school is legitimately to be seen as having emerged in the Third Republic in response to political developments of nineteenth-century France, or if the so-called méthodiques share more in terms of philosophy of history and methodology than previously emphasized by scholars. This book contributes to the debate surrounding the role of history and its method, offering a counter-argument to postmodernist scholars while reassessing the contribution of twentieth-century theorists of history to the history of historiography.

This book was released on 2007-12-21 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social sciences and economics have undergone enormous progress.

Book Synopsis Ruptures in the Everyday by : Andrew Stuart Bergerson
Download or read book Ruptures in the Everyday written by Andrew Stuart Bergerson and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twentieth century, Germans experienced a long series of major and often violent disruptions in their everyday lives. Such chronic instability and precipitous change made it difficult for them to make sense of their lives as coherent stories—and for scholars to reconstruct them in retrospect. Ruptures in the Everyday brings together an international team of twenty-six researchers from across German studies to craft such a narrative. This collectively authored work of integrative scholarship investigates Alltag through the lens of fragmentary anecdotes from everyday life in modern Germany. Across ten intellectually adventurous chapters, this book explores the self, society, families, objects, institutions, policies, violence, and authority in modern Germany neither from a top-down nor bottom-up perspective, but focused squarely on everyday dynamics at work “on the ground.”

Austro-Marxist theoretical perspectives were conceived as social scientific tools for the issues that faced the development of socialism in their time. The relevance of their thought for the contemporary world inheres in this understanding.
