还原与悬搁:海德格尔与极限处境

现象学自建立伊始就与笛卡尔有着继承关系。本文试图从海德格尔对笛卡尔的现象学阐释中剥离出海德格尔对蕴含在笛卡尔哲学中的"积极可能性"的挪用。通过揭示海德格尔对笛卡尔哲学的现象学改造,本文意在建构写作《存在与时间》的海德格尔与笛卡尔哲学直接"对峙"的史前史。     

布迪厄式的情感社会学

与以往研究往往局限在对布迪厄社会学进行理论诠释与实践应用不同,本文致力于通过勾勒一种布迪厄式情感社会学以真正拓展布氏社会学理论研究的边界。基于布迪厄的自我—社会分析,本文发现布迪厄对情感的最初兴趣极有可能来自对萨特的阅读经验。虽然布迪厄早年关注的情感论题已沦为"未竟的情感现象学",但情感论题却在布氏社会实践理论本身及其形塑过程中发挥着构成性作用。通过梳理布氏社会学的情感论述,本文不仅勾勒出了布迪厄式情感社会学之可能性形态的基本轮廓,而且发现布氏情感研究的轨迹正可谓其从哲学到社会学之智识道路转向的缩影,甚至发现贯穿于布氏情感研究的对萨特存在论现象学的批判有可能埋下了他对现象学或社会现象学之偏见的可能性种子。     

马克思的“感性世界”理论与现象学运动

哈贝马斯在他的《后形而上学思想》一书中,把最具影响力的现代哲学思潮概括为四个:分析哲学、现象学、西方马克思主义和结构主义。其中西方马克思主义和结构主义属于社会哲学、政治哲学理论领域,或者说是“社会理论”领域;而分析哲学和现象学则是一种涉及本体论、认识论等形而上学诸问题的理论领域,哈贝马斯称之为“纯粹哲学”领域。显然,马克思的思想构成了社会理论领域的最重要的理论资源,在这个领域,要绕开马克思是不可能产生好的理论的。然而,在所谓“纯粹哲学”领域,我们却几乎看不到马克思的身影,或者说马克思基本上“不在场”。这不…     

海德格尔:路——通过现象学到存在之思

真正的哲学之思永远不会指向或屈从于某种既定的目标,而总是处于不断超越给定性的开放性的路途之中。海德格尔通过现象学而进到存在之思的路途正是这种思之本质的体现。它一方面表现为对胡塞尔现象学的把握和进入,另一方面表现为对现象学的批判与超越;海德格尔与现象学之间有着一种复杂的关系。现象学对海德格尔具有某种决定性的影响,而海德格尔对现象学也有着重要的贡献。在海德格尔看来,现象学不是科学,它不必硬让自己去承担那些与专门科学有关的主题。现象学是一种本源科学,现象     

形式显示的现象学--海德格尔早期弗莱堡讲座研究

本文讨论海德格尔早期弗莱堡讲座中的现象学。作者从题域和方法两个角度上探讨海德格尔这个时期的形式显示现象学。就题域来说,海德格尔试图突破胡塞尔现象学的“知识”或“理论”局限,深入到“前理论的”层面,即所谓前理论的“原始东西”;就方法来说,海德格尔沉思和实践了他所谓的“形式显示”的思路和言路,以此力求与传统哲学的形式化思想方法划界。作者认为,“形式显示”的现象学方法乃是海德格尔在《存在与时间》之前的现象学哲思的最富特色和创意的成分;而由于这种方法上的探索也影响到后期海德格尔的思想道路,因此一般而言,它也标志着海德格尔全部思想的现象学特质。     

哲学与科学的短路——德雷福斯人工智能批判的局限

美国哲学家德雷福斯对人工智能的批判是现象学和技术哲学中的经典案例。他所动用的现象学资源包括胡塞尔的意向性和"生活世界"、海德格尔的"在世"、梅洛—庞蒂的知觉和身体理论。从斯洛文尼亚哲学家齐泽克的视角来看,德雷福斯的"海德格尔式的认知主义"是典型的对现象学的"美国式挪用",而他将哲学化约为科学造成了哲学与科学的"短路",从而错失了现象学(或哲学)的超越论的维度。     

从对立到迂回:利科超越诠释学难题的三重递进

诠释学在其发展中面临着说明与理解、真理与方法之间的对立。利科将诠释学巧妙地嫁接在现象学之上,并在结构主义的中介下避免了海德格尔的捷径式存在诠释学的弊端,从而发展出一种迂回长程的作为现象学变体的诠释学哲学。利科诠释学的基本精神首先体现在利科的"文本"理论中。利科的"文本"理论吸取结构主义、精神分析、现象学的积极因素,通过结构的"间距"和主体的"占有"两个方面来解决诠释学难题,从而让结构的说明与主体的理解融合为一;据此,利科先通过行动与文本的同构,扩展和深化诠释学向行动领域,进而又在叙事理论的支撑下在时间视域中考察主体的自我理解,从而实现了迂回策略下超越诠释学难题的三重递进。     

国内海德格尔研究概述

海德格尔是当代西方最重要的哲学家之一,在现代西方哲学家中是一个相当奇特的人物。他力图超越欧洲哲学传统,对整个西方哲学思想发起了一次挑战。我国哲学界历来重视对海德格尔的研究。近年来,这项研究正由简单的人物述评介绍逐步过渡到贯通前后学理、并在此基础上以中国学者特有的角度进行全面分析批判的方向上来。本文将围绕国内研究者关注的几个问题,对国内海德格尔研究的情况作一概述。海德格尔的现象学现象学运动现象学是20世纪西方哲学中一种重要的学说,由德国哲学家胡塞尔创立。由这种学说而引发的、在欧洲大陆极具影响的现象学运动与分析哲学共同构成当代西方哲学的两大主导思潮。海德格尔是胡塞尔的嫡传弟子,在现象学运动中具有极其重要的地位。     

评R.布普纳的《现代德国哲学》

与上一世纪德国哲学家们出版庞大体例的哲学史不同,联邦德国哲学家R.布普纳对第二次世界大战以来德国主要哲学思潮的介绍简明而又扼要。他主要着力于现象学、解释学、语言学和科学理论,并且也着力于辩证法和实践哲学。在概述了胡塞尔现象学纲领和强调海德格尔对实存进行解释学研究(以及适当地突出了60年代“对海德格尔的盲目崇拜”)之后,作者根据生活世     

伽达默尔:作为世界经验的理解和语言

一从现象学到哲学解释学伽达默尔在谈到由他所建立的本体论解释学的思想来源时,着重指出了胡塞尔的现象学、秋尔泰的历史哲学以及海德格尔对这两者的综合。事实上,在解释学由古典向现代的转折中,现象学的确起了关键的作用。对于伽达默尔来说,现象学的主要意义在于“它在‘面向事物本身’的口号下,通过一种精致严格的思想技巧的形态,开辟了一条通往经典哲学问题的新路径,这就是坚持对现象的描述。”①这也就是排除一切存在设定,对经验只在其所与方式中作为现象加以研究。这种方法开辟了“一种新的研究方向”。”以往的认识论研究始终…     

Together – apart: in touch in a time of separation

This paper explores the experience of working as a Jungian analyst through the various phases of the global COVID-19 pandemic, examining the importance of the physical containing space alongside the analyst’s internal mind and how technology can both help and hinder understanding. A number of clinical vignettes illustrate the challenge of communicating over a distance, paying particular attention to the way countertransference phenomena can become re-attuned. Reference is made to mythology and symbols of hope, and consideration given to the meaning and purpose of the pandemic.     

The Possibility of Meaning in Human Evolution

Science undermines the certitude of non-naturalistic answers to the question of whether human life has meaning. I explore whether evolution can provide a naturalistic basis for existential meaning. Using the work of philosopher Daniel Dennett and scientist Ursula Goodenough, I argue that evolution is the locus of the possibility of meaning because it has produced intentionality, the matrix of consciousness. I conclude that the question of the meaning of human life is an existentialist one: existential meaning is a product of the individual and collective tasks human beings undertake.     

Phenotypic plasticity and archetype: a response to common objections to the biological theory of archetype and instinct

Since Jung’s death in 1961, scholars have attempted to integrate growing biological science data into Jungian concepts such as the collective unconscious, instincts and the archetypes. This enterprise has been challenging due to persistent false dichotomies of gene and environment occasionally arising. Recent works by Roesler (2022a, 2022b) for example, have raised objections to the biological theory of archetypes, but the objections are plagued by such dichotomies. The concept of phenotypic plasticity, however, helps to both avoid this problem as well as bridge the gap between competing theories into a more integrated model with solid biological foundations.     

When is it time to stop? When good enough becomes bad enough

This article draws on Winnicott’s concept of the good enough mother to discuss how to know whether a therapeutic situation is good enough to continue or bad enough to end. This dilemma is explored in terms of clinical syndromes, such as anorexia and pathological gambling, but focuses mainly on analyst-initiated endings, which are termed the ‘Casablanca dilemma’, based on an amplification of the ending of the film Casablanca. The author goes on to discuss such one-sided endings, drawing on interviews with 40 analysts and therapists about their clinical experience. A typology of bad enough endings is presented. The psychological differences between a good enough analysis as opposed to a bad enough one are explored through the ideas of Winnicott and Neumann.     

Kann Es Ein Argument Für Den Skeptizismus Geben? Das Epistemische Problem Der Irrtumsmöglichkeit

Summary  Is there any argument for scepticism? The epistemic problem of the possibility of error. Arguments for scepticism rest on the assumption that knowledge claims are fallible. For this reason the concept of knowledge appears to be questionable. Since it is necessary to distinguish doubts from possible doubts, the arguments for scepticism appear to be unconvincing. If we take it into account that we know something that is immune to doubt, we should draw the conclusion that, contrary to scepticism, knowledge claims have to be compatible with being fallible. Thus any knowledge claim is capable of being doubted.     

The transcendent function in Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus

In August 2020, John Beebe and Steve Myers met via Zoom to discuss their differing interpretations of psychological typology and the different sources within Jung’s writings that influenced their books: Integrity in Depth: Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type (Beebe), and Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation (Myers). The discussion centred on Spitteler’s epic poem Prometheus und Epimetheus, which forms the basis of chapter V of Psychological Types. This is both the largest chapter and one of two chapters that Jung highlighted in the Argentine foreword as containing the essence of the book. Jung’s book is primarily about the transformation of personality rather than the categorization of people. Although it contains a critical psychology that deconstructs the nature of consciousness, that is only one half of the book and a stepping-stone to the other half, which is the reconciliation of opposites with particular emphasis on the relation of consciousness and the unconscious. Jung assumed that readers were already familiar with Prometheus und Epimetheus, an understanding of which sheds light on the nature of the transformation that Jung described – the development of a new attitude towards attitude itself.     

Seeing in the Dark: A View into Dissociation and Healing

In this paper, I will explore the role of art-making, the experience of trauma and dissociation, and the process of working with self-states from an analytic and creative frame. Relevant literature on dissociation, trauma, and the use of art will be discussed. A case involving my work with an adolescent girl who had experienced sexual abuse from a family member will be shared, with an emphasis on the meaningful role images played during the therapeutic process. Both Jungian and psychoanalytic models of conceptualizing and working with dissociation are included, following Donald Kalsched’s (2013) recommendation for a “binocular stance” to treatment, including both a focus on the inner, intrapsychic world and the interpersonal, relational realm, and how art images both illuminated and expressed these realms. Within the therapeutic process, art images allowed the therapist a view into the client’s unconscious process, and created a meeting ground for dissociative barriers to be gradually seen, felt and known, by both therapist and client. The experience of dissociation, in images and in session, provided a reference point for myself and my client, Taylor, to develop a shared understanding and a framework for growth.     

Chapter 6: Biblical Foundations for a Practical Theology of Aging
