Juan Larrea en México: el fin anunciado del yo subjetivo en Diario del Nuevo Mundo
'Editorial CSIC', 2020Co-Authors: Andersen, Katrine HeleneAbstract:This article shows that the longing for the great beyond, already expressed by Juan Larrea in his poetry, culminates in Diario del Nuevo Mundo. While exiled in Mexico, he abandons the subjective self and is absorbed by an objective consciousness that will later become central to his philosophical project. This is how Juan Larrea sets down in Diario del Nuevo Mundo the fundamental principles of a Transcendental Philosophy while, at the same time, describing his personal situation. In addition, the article asserts that Larrea was the most radical amongst the contemporary exiled thinkers in his critique of the techno-scientific reason and that his philosophical project is feasible only because he relies on disciplines traditionally marginalized within Philosophy such as psychology, religion and poetry.El presente artículo demuestra que el anhelo por el más allá que había expresado Juan Larrea en su poesía llega a su culminación en Diario del Nuevo Mundo. La experiencia vivida en el exilio mexicano le impulsa a abandonar el yo subjetivo y dejarse absorber por una conciencia objetiva que viene a constituir el epicentro de su proyecto filosófico. De esta manera, Larrea funda en Diario del Nuevo Mundo los principios constitutivos de una filosofía Transcendental a la vez que describe la situación personal en la que se encuentra. Además, el artículo mantiene que Larrea es de los más radicales entre los pensadores exiliados en su crítica de la racionalidad tecno-científica y que el proyecto de Larrea solo es posible porque se apoya en disciplinas tradicionalmente marginalizadas dentro de la filosofía como son la psicología, la religión y la poesía

La polèmica de l’ateisme de Fichte
'Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona', 2016Co-Authors: Coletes Caubet RamonAbstract:[cat] Aquesta tesi té per objectiu la interpretació dels principals textos de la polèmica de l'ateisme de Fichte des d'un punt de vista estrictament filosòfic. En aquest sentit, segueix la recomanació que fa el propi autor: abans de fer un judici sobre els textos, cal dominar els fonaments de la seva filosofia. En un primer moment s'estudia la gènesi dels principis del sistema filosòfic de Fichte, la Doctrina de la Ciència, des de l'evolució de la filosofia Transcendental que Kant introdueix amb les seves tres crítiques, en especial pel que fa a conceptes com ara l'apercepció Transcendental, la llibertat, la imaginació productiva, i en general, la seva concepció de l'intel.ligible. Se segueix aquesta evolució a partir de les qüestions obertes en l'immediat debat postkantià, atenent especialment a les aportacions de Reinhold, Maimon i Schulze, així com als textos de Fichte (ressenyes, lliçons, cartes...) que manifesten la gestació del seu sistema com a concepció original de la filosofia Transcendental, fins arribar a les obres publicades Sobre el concepte de Doctrina de la Ciència i especialment el Fonament de tota la Doctrina de la Ciència. Amb aquesta primera part del meu treball, s'assoleix una comprensió sobre allò essencial en el projecte fonamentador de Fichte: la deducció de les formes de consciència a partir de la intuïció intel.lectual de la Joïtat en la seva relació amb un No-Jo que se li oposa. En un segon moment, veiem l'aplicació d'aquesta fonamentació en l'àmbit pràctic, el de la llibertat humana. Atenem així, d'una banda, a la deducció de la llei moral des del principi del Jo, en un nou pas per completar les mancances fonamentadores del sistema kantià; d'altra banda, a la necessària inserció de la llibertat de l'agent moral en el sistema intel.ligible de les llibertats dels altres, cosa que permet a Fichte desenvolupar una original teoria de la relació intersubjectiva. En aquest sentit analitzem les obres immediatament posteriors al Fonament de la Doctrina de la Ciència, el Fonament del Dret Natural, i en especial la Doctrina moral i la nova formulació del fonament que representa la Doctrina de la Ciència nova methodo, atès que constitueixen el context sistemàtic de les idees que Fichte manifesta en els textos de la polèmica de l'ateisme. En el tercer capítol, treballo els propis textos de la polèmica, tant pel que fa a l’aclariment de l’ocasió que els origina històricament i les seves conseqüències, com pel que fa a la qüestió central de la comprensió, des de la filosofia Transcendental, de les idees allà exposades, amb especial èmfasi en la diferència respecte a les idees de Kant, sobretot pel que fa al concepte intel.ligible del Bé Suprem. Això ens ajuda a comprendre la discussió de Fichte: d’una banda, tot prenent distància amb Forbergi, de l’alta, en la seva constant recerca de la causa de la incomprensió que manifesten els crítics del seu pensament. Afegim a l’anàlisi un text no publicat en l’època, que resulta molt esclaridor respecte al nivell de maduració que té la filosofia de la religió de Fichte que es reflecteix en les obres de la polèmic: les lliçons de metafísica de Fichte sobre l’obra del filòsof Platner. La part final de la tesi investiga el moment culminant de la polèmica, que arriba amb la intervenció del respectat Jacobi en una demolidora carta. Analitzem les diferències dels sistemes dels dos pensadors, així com la reacció de Fichte a la carta. Aquesta reacció serà clau per a l’evolució del pensament fitcheà: quan Fichte respon a l’atac dels seus adversaris (basat en la confusió entre l’ordre intel.ligible de les llibertats i Déu), i a l’atac de Jacobi (que l’acusa de nihilisme, i defensa la creença en detriment de la raó com a base de la comprensió adequada de la realitat), apareixeran els primers canvis que apunten a una revisió de les idees del període de Jena. Trobem prou raons per tant per defensar que aquests eixos temàtics si més no poden comptar-se entre els motius que faran que es desplaci la qüestió de la Doctrina de la Ciència des de la fonamentació de la consciència finita a partir del Jo i les seves activitats vers el món, a un nivell previ d’aclariment de la relació que té la pròpia Doctrina de la Ciència amb l’Absolut, tema de reflexió de les primeres formulacions de la Doctrina de la Ciència a Berlin, que serveixen de base teòrica de la primera exposició pública de la filosofia de la religió de Fichte, l’Exortació a la vida benhaurada. Aquesta transició del sistema de l´època de Jena cap al sistema de l’època de Berlín es comença a apuntar en l’obra La Destinació de l’Home, que és objecte d’anàlisi de la darrera part de la nostra tesi.[eng] This thesis aims to the interpretation of the main texts of the dispute over Fichte's atheism from a strictly philosophical point of view. In this sense, it follows the recommendation made by the author himself: Before making a judgment about the texts, we must master the fundamentals of his Philosophy. Firstly the genesis of the early Fichte's philosophical system, the Doctrine of Science, is studied following the evolution of Transcendental Philosophy that Kant introduced in his three critics, especially attending to concepts such as Transcendental apperception, freedom, the productive imagination, and the conception of the intelligible. This evolution starts with the questions discussed in the immediate post-Kantian scenario - especially regarding to the contributions from Reinhold, Maimon and Schulze and to Fichte's own texts (reviews, lessons, letters ...), which show the gestation of his system as an original interpretation of the Transcendental Philosophy-, and up to the published works On the concept of the Doctrine of Science and especially the Foundation of the whole Doctrine of Science. In this first part of my work it is achieved an understanding of the essence of Fichte's foundational project: the deduction of the forms of consciousness from the intellectual intuition of the self in its relation to a non ego that opposes him. Secondly, we see the application of the foundation to the practical level of human freedom. On the one hand we work through the deduction of moral law from the principle of the self, in an attempt to fill in gaps in the foundations of the Kantian system. On the other hand, we deal with the necessary inclusion of the freedom of the moral agent into the intelligible system of the freedoms of others, which allows Fichte to develop an original theory of the interpersonal relationship. In this sense, we analyze the works published immediately after the Foundation of the whole Doctrine of Science: the Foundation of Natural Right, and especially the Moral Doctrine and the new formulation of the foundations in the Doctrine of the Science nova methodo, since they constitute the systematic background of the ideas exposed in the texts related to the controversy of atheism. In the third chapter, I work over the texts about the controversy, both in terms of the clarification of the historical events that gave rise to them and of their consequences, such as the central question of the understanding, from a Transcendental point of view, of the ideas exposed in the texts, with special emphasis on the difference from the Kantian conception, especially in regard to the intelligible concept of the Greater Good. This helps us to understand the standpoint of Fichte: first, as explicitly growing apart from Forberg in the most critical issues, and on the other hand, in his ongoing search for the cause of the misunderstanding of his work which lead his critics to the accusation of atheism. I finally add the analysis of a text which was not published at the time, which is very enlightening about the maturity reached by Fichte’s Philosophy of religion in the works of the controversy: Fichte’s lessons on metaphysics, in which Fichte reviews the work of the contemporary philosopher Platner. The final part of the thesis investigates the summit of the controversy, which comes with the intervention of a devastating letter by the respected Jacobi. We analyze the differences in the Systems of both thinkers and work over Fichte's reaction to the letter. This reaction will be the keystone of the evolution of Fichte’s thought when he strikes back his adversaries (their confusion between the intelligible order of freedom and God), and defends himself from the attack of Jacobi (who accused him of nihilism, by stablishing reason in detriment of belief as the basis of the understanding of reality). At this point, the first changes appear which aim to a radical revision on the ideas maintained along the Jena period. We found enough reason therefore to argue that these issues can be regarded as responsable for a shift in the main issue of the Doctrine of Science, deepen from the foundation of the finite consciousness on the principle of the ego and its world-oriented activities to a still previous level of clarification of the relationship that the Doctrine of Science itself has with the Absolute, which is the issue of reflection of the first formulations of the Doctrine of Science in Berlin, theoretical background of the first public exposition of Fichte’s System of the Philosophy of religion, the Exhortation to the blessed life. This transition of the system from the period in Jena into the system from the period in Berlin appear in nuce in the book The Destiny of Man, analyzed in the last part of our thesis

CRITIQUE OF IMPURE REASON: Horizons of Possibility and Meaning
2021Co-Authors: Bartlett, Steven JamesAbstract:PLEASE NOTE: This is the corrected 2nd eBook edition, 2021.¶¶ _Critique of Impure Reason_ has now also been published in a printed edition. To reduce the otherwise high price of this scholarly, technical book of nearly 900 pages and make it more widely available beyond university libraries to individual readers, the non-profit publisher and the author have agreed to issue the printed edition at cost.¶¶ The printed edition was released on September 1, 2021 and is now available through all booksellers, including Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and brick-and-mortar bookstores under ISBN 978-0-578-88646-6.¶¶ In light of the length of this book, readers who would like to have a more detailed description of the book's objectives and method may find it helpful to read the detailed and clearly written Wikipedia entry about this work: From the Wikipedia search page, use the search phrase "Critique of Impure Reason". At least at the time of this writing (11/29/2021), the Wikipedia entry is well-researched and accurate. ¶¶ ¶¶ COMMENDATIONS OF THIS WORK, from the back cover of the published edition: ¶¶ “I admire its range of philosophical vision.” – Nicholas Rescher, Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy, University of Pittsburgh, author of more than 100 books. ¶¶ “Bartlett’s _Critique of Impure Reason_ is an impressive, bold, and ambitious work. Careful scholarship is balanced by original analyses that lead the reader to recognize the limits of meaning, knowledge, and conceptual possibility. The work addresses a host of traditional philosophical problems, among them the nature of space, time, causality, consciousness, the self, other minds, ontology, free will and determinism, and others. The book culminates in a fascinating and profound new understanding of relativity physics and quantum theory.” – Gerhard Preyer, Professor of Philosophy, Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, author of many books including _Concepts of Meaning_, _Beyond Semantics and Pragmatics_, _Intention and Practical Thought_, and _Contextualism in Philosophy_. ¶¶ “[This work’s] goal is of a unique and difficult species: Dr. Bartlett seeks to develop a formal logical calculus on the basis of Transcendental philosophical arguments; in fact, he hopes that this calculus will be the formal expression of the Transcendental foundation of knowledge.... I consider Dr. Bartlett’s work soundly conceived and executed with great skill.” – C. F. von Weizsäcker, philosopher and physicist, former Director, Max-Planck-Institute, Starnberg, Germany. ¶¶ “Bartlett has written an American “Prolegomena to All Future Metaphysics.” He aims rigorously to eliminate meaningless assertions, reach bedrock, and place Philosophy on a firm foundation that will enable it, like science and mathematics, to produce lasting results that generations to come can build on. This is a great book, the fruit of a lifetime of research and reflection, and it deserves serious attention.” — Martin X. Moleski, former Professor, Canisius College, Buffalo, NY, studies of scientific method, the presuppositions of thought, and the self-referential nature of epistemology. ¶¶ “Bartlett has written a book on what might be called the underpinnings of Philosophy. It has fascinating depth and breadth, and is all the more striking due to its unifying perspective based on the concepts of reference and self-reference.” – Don Perlis, Professor of Computer Science, University of Maryland, author of numerous publications on self-adjusting autonomous systems and philosophical issues concerning self-reference, mind, and consciousness. ¶¶ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ The _Critique of Impure Reason: Horizons of Possibility and Meaning_ comprises a major and important contribution to Philosophy. Thanks to the generosity of its publisher, this massive 885-page volume has been published as a free open access eBook (3.75MB) as well as an open access printed edition. It inaugurates a revolutionary paradigm shift in philosophical thought by providing compelling and long-sought-for solutions to a wide range of philosophical problems. In the process, the work fundamentally transforms the way in which the concepts of reference, meaning, and possibility are understood. The book includes a Foreword by the celebrated German philosopher and physicist Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker.¶¶ In Kant’s _Critique of Pure Reason_ we find an analysis of the preconditions of experience and of knowledge. In contrast, but yet in parallel, the new _Critique_ focuses upon the ways—unfortunately very widespread and often unselfconsciously habitual—in which many of the concepts that we employ _conflict_ with the very preconditions of meaning and of knowledge.¶¶ This is a book about the boundaries of frameworks and about the unrecognized conceptual confusions in which we become entangled when we attempt to transgress beyond the limits of the possible and meaningful. We tend either not to recognize or not to accept that we all-too-often attempt to trespass beyond the boundaries of the frameworks that make knowledge possible and the world meaningful.¶¶ The _Critique of Impure Reason_ proposes a bold, ground-breaking, and startling thesis: that a great many of the major philosophical problems of the past can be solved through the recognition of a viciously deceptive form of thinking to which philosophers as well as non-philosophers commonly fall victim. For the first time, the book advances and justifies the criticism that a substantial number of the questions that have occupied philosophers fall into the category of “impure reason,” violating the very conditions of their possible meaningfulness.¶¶ The purpose of the study is twofold: first, to enable us to recognize the boundaries of what is referentially forbidden—the limits beyond which reference becomes meaningless—and second, to avoid falling victims to a certain broad class of conceptual confusions that lie at the heart of many major philosophical problems. As a consequence, the boundaries of _possible meaning_ are determined.¶¶ Bartlett, the author or editor of more than 20 books, is responsible for identifying this widespread and delusion-inducing variety of error, _metalogical projection_. It is a previously unrecognized and insidious form of erroneous thinking that undermines its own possibility of meaning. It comes about as a result of the pervasive human compulsion to seek to transcend the limits of possible reference and meaning.¶¶ Based on original research and rigorous analysis combined with extensive scholarship, the _Critique of Impure Reason_ develops a self-validating method that makes it possible to recognize, correct, and eliminate this major and pervasive form of fallacious thinking. In so doing, the book provides at last provable and constructive solutions to a wide range of major philosophical problems.¶¶ __________________________________________________________________________________________________ CONTENTS AT A GLANCE¶ ¶ Preface¶ Foreword by Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker¶ Acknowledgments¶ Avant-propos: A philosopher’s rallying call¶ Introduction¶ A note to the reader¶ A note on conventions¶ ¶ PART I ¶ WHY Philosophy HAS MADE NO PROGRESS AND HOW IT CAN ¶ 1 Philosophical-psychological prelude¶ 2 Putting belief in its place: Its psychology and a needed polemic¶ 3 Turning away from the linguistic turn: From theory of reference to metalogic of reference¶ 4 The stepladder to maximum theoretical generality¶ ¶ PART II ¶ THE METALOGIC OF REFERENCE ¶ A New Approach to Deductive, Transcendental Philosophy¶ ¶ 5 Reference, identity, and identification¶ 6 Self-referential argument and the metalogic of reference¶ 7 Possibility theory¶ 8 Presupposition logic, reference, and identification¶ 9 Transcendental argumentation and the metalogic of reference¶ 10 Framework relativity¶ 11 The metalogic of meaning¶ 12 The problem of putative meaning and the logic of meaninglessness¶ 13 Projection¶ 14 Horizons¶ 15 De-projection¶ 16 Self-validation¶ 17 Rationality: Rules of admissibility¶ ¶ PART III ¶ PHILOSOPHICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE METALOGIC OF REFERENCE ¶ Major Problems and Questions of Philosophy and the Philosophy of Science ¶ 18 Ontology and the metalogic of reference¶ 19 Discovery or invention in general problem-solving, mathematics, and physics¶ 20 The conceptually unreachable: “The far side”¶ 21 The projections of the external world, things-in-themselves, other minds, realism, and idealism¶ 22 The projections of time, space, and space-time¶ 23 The projections of causality, determinism, and free will¶ 24 Projections of the self and of solipsism¶ 25 Non-relational, agentless reference and referential fields¶ 26 Relativity physics as seen through the lens of the metalogic of reference¶ 27 Quantum theory as seen through the lens of the metalogic of reference¶ 28 Epistemological lessons learned from and applicable to relativity physics and quantum theory ¶¶ PART IV ¶ HORIZONS ¶ 29 Beyond belief¶ 30 _Critique of Impure Reason_: Its results in retrospect¶ ¶ SUPPLEMENT¶ The Formal Structure of the Metalogic of Reference ¶ APPENDIX I¶ The Concept of Horizon in the Work of Other Philosophers ¶ APPENDIX II¶ Epistemological Intelligence ¶ References¶ Index¶ About the autho

CRITIQUE OF IMPURE REASON: Horizons of Possibility and Meaning
2021Co-Authors: Bartlett, Steven JamesAbstract:PLEASE NOTE: This is the corrected 2nd eBook edition, 2021. ●●●●● _Critique of Impure Reason_ has now also been published in a printed edition. To reduce the otherwise high price of this scholarly, technical book of nearly 900 pages and make it more widely available beyond university libraries to individual readers, the non-profit publisher and the author have agreed to issue the printed edition at cost. ●●●●● The printed edition was released on September 1, 2021 and is now available through all booksellers, including Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and brick-and-mortar bookstores under ISBN 978-0-578-88646-6. ●●●●● In light of the length of this book, readers who would like to have a more detailed description of the book's objectives and method may find it helpful to read the detailed and clearly written Wikipedia entry about this work: From the Wikipedia search page, use the search phrase "Critique of Impure Reason". At least at the time of this writing (11/29/2021), the Wikipedia entry is well-researched and accurate. ●●●●● In addition, a "Primer on Bartlett's CRITIQUE OF IMPURE REASON" has been made available by the author. It is available under its title through PhilPapers and other Philosophy online archives. ●●●●● COMMENDATIONS OF THIS WORK, from the back cover of the published edition: ●●●●● “I admire its range of philosophical vision.” – Nicholas Rescher, Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy, University of Pittsburgh, author of more than 100 books. ●●●●● “Bartlett’s _Critique of Impure Reason_ is an impressive, bold, and ambitious work. Careful scholarship is balanced by original analyses that lead the reader to recognize the limits of meaning, knowledge, and conceptual possibility. The work addresses a host of traditional philosophical problems, among them the nature of space, time, causality, consciousness, the self, other minds, ontology, free will and determinism, and others. The book culminates in a fascinating and profound new understanding of relativity physics and quantum theory.” – Gerhard Preyer, Professor of Philosophy, Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, author of many books including _Concepts of Meaning_, _Beyond Semantics and Pragmatics_, _Intention and Practical Thought_, and _Contextualism in Philosophy_. ●●●●● “[This work’s] goal is of a unique and difficult species: Dr. Bartlett seeks to develop a formal logical calculus on the basis of Transcendental philosophical arguments; in fact, he hopes that this calculus will be the formal expression of the Transcendental foundation of knowledge.... I consider Dr. Bartlett’s work soundly conceived and executed with great skill.” – C. F. von Weizsäcker, philosopher and physicist, former Director, Max-Planck-Institute, Starnberg, Germany. ●●●●● “Bartlett has written an American “Prolegomena to All Future Metaphysics.” He aims rigorously to eliminate meaningless assertions, reach bedrock, and place Philosophy on a firm foundation that will enable it, like science and mathematics, to produce lasting results that generations to come can build on. This is a great book, the fruit of a lifetime of research and reflection, and it deserves serious attention.” — Martin X. Moleski, former Professor, Canisius College, Buffalo, NY, studies of scientific method, the presuppositions of thought, and the self-referential nature of epistemology. ●●●●● “Bartlett has written a book on what might be called the underpinnings of Philosophy. It has fascinating depth and breadth, and is all the more striking due to its unifying perspective based on the concepts of reference and self-reference.” – Don Perlis, Professor of Computer Science, University of Maryland, author of numerous publications on self-adjusting autonomous systems and philosophical issues concerning self-reference, mind, and consciousness. ●●●●● ●●●●● The _Critique of Impure Reason: Horizons of Possibility and Meaning_ comprises a major and important contribution to Philosophy. Thanks to the generosity of its publisher, this massive 885-page volume has been published as a free open access eBook (3.75MB) as well as an open access printed edition.

La donación en Husserl. Del neokantismo a la fenomenología.
Analele Universitatii din Craiova Seria Filozofie, 2020Co-Authors: Cazzanelli StefanoAbstract:In this paper we want to expose the different meanings that Husserl assigns to the concept of givenness and given in the framework of his static phenomenology (basically Logical Investigations, Ideen 1 and his Logos-Artikel of 1911). The importance of the concept of Gegebenheit will help us to clarify the basic differences between the phenomenological and the neo-kantian (especially Heinrich Rickert’s) approach about the question of knowledge in the frame of Transcendental Philosophy. Moreover, on the basis of these differences we will try to clarify some basic frames of the phenomenological method like intentionality, constitution, categorical intuition and Transcendental reduction.pre-print735 K
