Intersubjektyvumo ir kūniškumo plotmių sankirta. Fenomenologinė perspektyva / Intersection of intersubjectivity and corporeality. The phenomenological perspective

Večerskis, Donatas 19 May 2009 (has links)
Disertacijoje tyrinėjamos kūniškumo ir intersubjektyvumo plotmės bei jų sąsajos. Intersubjektyvumas disertacijoje analizuojamas žmogaus mąstymo atvirumo kitybei ir Kito svetimumo pažinimo galimybės šviesoje. Kūniškumas apmąstomas kaip žmogaus buvimo pasaulyje perspektyva, atliekamas neobjektyvizuojantis kūniškumo ir su juo susijusių reiškinių tyrimas. Analizuojama, kaip tarpusavyje susijusios intersubjektyvumo ir kūniškumo plotmės, ir ką ši sąsaja byloja. Disertacijos tyrimo tikslas – tyrinėjant intersubjektyvumo, interkūniškumo plotmes bei jų sąsajas, atskleisti intersubjektyvumo kilmę įvairialypėse kitybės patirtyse, kūniškumo fenomeno specifiškumą ir abiejų šių plotmių saitus bei abipusę jų priklausomybę kaip interkūniškumą. Disertacijoje naudojama dvejopa tyrimo strategija: analizuojami filosofų tekstai, pagrindinį dėmesį sutelkiant į fenomenologinę tradiciją atstovaujančių autorių tekstus, ir nuolat atsigręžiama į patirtinį aprašomų fenomenų lauką. Disertaciją sudaro įvadas, trys dalys, išvados ir literatūros sąrašas. Disertacijos struktūrą lėmė išsikelto tyrimo tikslo įgyvendinimas: interubjektyvumo tyrimas atveda prie kūniškumo plotmės, o pastarosios tyrimas galiausiai atveria naują intersubjektyvumo aspektą – interkūniškumą, kuris, kaip abiejų plotmių sąsaja, yra tyrinėjamas paskutinėje dalyje. / There are explored interconnections between corporeality and intersubjectivity in this thesis. Intersubjectivity is reflected in the light of openness of person’s thinking to otherness and in the light of Other’s alliance for possibility of recognition. Corporeality is perceived as a perspective of human being in the world; the research on the non-objective corporeality is being carried out along with connection to phenomena. It is being considered how fields of corporeality and intersubjectivity interconnect together and what this bond tells to us. The aim of this thesis is to reveal, while analyzing fields of intersubjectivity and corporeality, the origin of intersubjectivity in experiences of various alterations, the particularity of corporeality and the intersections of both fields in the intercorporeality. In this thesis the dual research strategy is used: the philosophical texts are being analyzed (the major attention is directed to those texts of the authors, which are represented by the phenomenological tradition) and there is a constant turning back to the experience descriptions of phenomena. The thesis consists of the introduction, three sections, conclusion and the list of literature used. The structure of the thesis is predetermined by the fulfillment of the aim set: the research of intersubjectivity leads to the field of corporeality, and the investigation of the latter finally opens up the new aspect of intersubjectivity – intercorporeality, which as the...

Science and sentience: the case for phenomenal representationalism

Thompson, Trevor John, History & Philosophy, Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, UNSW January 2009 (has links)
This thesis examines the epistemological and metaphysical aspects of consciousness or sentience, and how they relate to standards of scientific practice. Historically, orthodox science has denied that there are any real problems of sentience because there is no scientific evidence to support claims regarding its nature and existence. In recent years, however, new approaches to sentience have entered into scientific debate that can be classified by metaphysical frameworks that vary in their conceptions of scientific evidence. In this thesis, four such frameworks are considered and compared: Ordinary Materialism, Property Dualism, Type-F Monism and Phenomenal Representationalism. Many sentience theorists adopt an Ordinary Materialist framework that conceives of scientific observation as the interaction of our physical sensory apparatus with the surrounding physical world. Sentience-friendly theories in this framework fail to present supporting evidence that is acceptable by ordinary scientific standards. There are also contradictions in their claims that we know of conscious events via naturalised introspection, and their claims that these events create no publicly observable physical effects. Theories proposed within Property Dualist and Type-F Monist frameworks suffer from similar problems to Ordinary Materialist theories, especially contradictions between claims of knowledge by direct acquaintance and how this knowledge is stored and processed by publicly observable physical systems. Phenomenal Representationalism is advocated as the most consistent and complete way for science to deal with questions of sentience. In this framework, questions of sentience are part of wider epistemological concerns (regarding publicity, intersubjectivity, realism and scientific observation) that provide presumptions for scientific practice, rather than subjects for scientific investigation.

Towards a Language of Interruption

Sturgess, Helen Mary January 2008 (has links)
Master of Visual Arts / My research paper is an attempt to begin to articulate and document my lived experience of being both a mother and an artist. Underpinned by research into the cultural and social history of the experience of mothering and the cultural institution of ‘motherhood’, I revisit and reinterpret some of my earlier works, and explore issues of identity brought up by the relational experience of mothering. I seek out other women who are, or have been, both mothers and artists – particularly sculptors – whose work relates to their subjective experiences of mothering. From them I select and investigate both works, and reflections, which I feel resonate with my own experience of combining the roles of mother and artist. Against this background I describe and interpret my own recent body of work, drawn from my subjective experience of becoming, and being, a mother whilst continuing my artistic practice.

Η θεωρία της διυποκειμενικότητας του Edmund Husserl στο περιβάλλον των σύγχρονων φιλοσοφικών συζητήσεων για την αντίληψη / Husserl's theory of intersubjectivity in the context of the contemporary philosophical debates on perception

Κανέλλος, Χρήστος 24 October 2012 (has links)
Μπορεί να συνεισφέρει η θεωρία της διυποκειμενικότητας του Husserl στις σύγχρονες θεωρίες της αντίληψης; Με αφορμή αυτό το ερώτημα εξετάζουμε, αφενός δύο σύγχρονες θεωρίες της αντίληψης - αυτή του Alva Noë και του John McDowell -, αφετέρου τη θεωρία της διυποκειμενικότητας του Edmund Husserl. Προτείνουμε μια γραμμή σκέψης - η οποία περνά μέσα από τις αναλύσεις της χουσσερλιανής φαινομενολογίας για τη διυποκειμενική συγκρότηση του ορίζοντα της αντιληπτικής εμπειρίας και την υπερβατολογική λειτουργία της διυποκειμενικότητας - η οποία θα μπορούσε σε ορισμένα σημεία να ισχυροποιήσει, ή, σε κάποια άλλα, να θέσει εν αμφιβόλω τις θέσεις των Noë και McDowell. Στόχος μας δεν είναι η οριστική απάντηση στα ζητήματα αυτά αλλά η γόνιμη ερωτηματοθεσία μέσα από τη σύζευξη της αναλυτικής και της φαινομενολογικής παράδοσης. / Can Husserl’s theory of intersubjectivity contribute to the contemporary theories of perception? Launching from this question we examine, on the one hand two contemporary theories of perception – Alva Noë’s and John McDowell’s – and, on the other, Husserl’s theory of intersubjectivity. We propose a line of thought - which passes through Husserl’s analysis of the intersubjective constitution of the horizon of perceptual experience and the transcendental function of intersubjectivity – which could, at some parts strengthen, or object at some others, the contemporary theories of Noë and McDowell. Our aim is not the final answers on these issues, but the productive questioning through the conjugation of the analytical and the phenomenological tradition.

Karol Wojtyła’s Interpersonalist Ethics: A Critical Sartrean Appraisal and Confucian Adaptation

Stegeman, Steven Andrew 01 August 2016 (has links)
The dissertation pursues the thesis that although Karol Wojtyła makes great strides in expanding the notion of subjectivity beyond consciousness and then establishing the other as acting subject as the foundation for ethical personalism, his analysis could be significantly enhanced through engagement with the classical Confucian interpersonal ethical sensibility. After all, Wojtyła reviles both individualistic and collectivistic forms of ethics. With Jean-Paul Sartre functioning as a foil for the purposes of appraisal, we can see how Wojtyła extends the notion of subjectivity into the dimension of action and how he establishes the person and, moreover, the other as subject, that is, as acting subject. Subjectivity understood on the basis of action instead of (as reducible to) consciousness is compatible with the personalistic ethical postulate “to treat the other not as an object but as a subject.” On Wojtyła’s account, ethical action is an interaction ipso facto and implies intersubjectivity insofar as one’s action is guided by the other’s subjectivity. What is more, Wojtyła contends not only that the subject is the person but also that person is act. In so doing, he has set the stage for an interpersonal ethics that is the middle way between individualistic and collectivistic forms of ethics. The trajectory of Wojtyła’s ethics bends toward the interpersonal dimension of the human condition, but, perhaps held back by his metaphysics and soteriology, he never fully or methodically develops this interpersonal ethical sensibility. It is regarding this lack that an appeal to Confucius and classical Confucianism is auspicious. Indeed, there is a somewhat surprising but striking compatibility between Wojtyłan personalist ethics and classical Confucian humanistic ethics. They are both built around the interpersonal dimension. While the interpersonal ethical sensibility of the classical Confucians lacks modern theoretical development, unlike Wojtyła they provide vivid descriptions of interpersonal ethical conduct and a clearer vision for an interpersonal ethical program. What emerges from adapting Wojtyła’s ethics to the classical Confucian interpersonal ethical sensibility is enhancement of the Wojtyłan interpersonal ethos and a comprehensive interpersonalist ethics.

The phenomenology of psychiatric diagnosis: an exploration of the experience of intersubjectivity

Bradfield, Bruce Christopher January 2003 (has links)
This work is born out of previous research, conducted by this researcher, into the effects of psychiatric labelling on individuals thus differentiated. Informed by the investigative thrust of phenomenological inquiry, it is the aim herein to provide an illumination of the dramatic confrontation of the labelled individual with the classificatory branding that is his or her label. The question asked is: What is the experience of the labelled individual, and how does the label function as a ‘scientific fact’ (Kiesler, 2000) suffused within his being? In answering these questions, the researcher aims to abandon his own expectations, as is fitting with the phenomenological method, and to devote his sympathies entirely to the subjective disclosures which, it is hoped, the participants will offer. On this point, an obvious tension exists insofar as expectation and hypothesis necessarily constitute the inception of any research endeavour; and so, the notion of a complete bracketing of assumption and anticipation seems methodologically vague. The explorative impetus within this dissertation aims towards an elucidation of the effect of psychiatric diagnosis on the labelled individual, in terms of the individual’s experience of being-with-others. The impact of the offering of the label upon the individual’s interpersonal and intersubjective presence will be explored so as to establish whether psychiatric labelling unfolds as a disconnection of the individual from his co-existence with others.

Náboženství jako výzva multikulturní výchovy / Religion as Challenge for Multicultural Education

Pirklová, Klára January 2014 (has links)
TITLE: Religion as Challenge for Multicultural Education AUTHOR: Klára Pirklová DEPARTMENT: Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy SUPERVISOR: doc. PhDr. Naděžda Pelcová, CSc. ABSTRACT: In our thesis, we deal with the topic of multicultural education. We do not opt for the social sciences perspective, though, but choose philosophical angle, instead. Methodologically, we base on the phenomenological-hermeneutical approach. It means that we do not base our questioning on predefined terms but only aim to search for them. Our questions yet focus on face-to-face relationship with the other-foreigner. We especially deal with intersubjectivity concepts of E. Husserl, B. Waldenfels, E. Lévinas, M. Buber and J. Patočka. We try to define basic conditions of mutually rewarding dialog which at the same time would not be flat but kept its depths. Although our approach is theoretical, we try to enroot our results back into practice all the way though by giving variety of practical examples. By "religion" we then mean the effort of really giving oneself into dialog instead of just theorizing about it. The courage to let oneself really disturbed by the other, even though there is a risk of losing something important. Right here - in the dialog as undergoing crisis - we see the challenge for education in multicultural...

Practitioner-based research and qualitative interviewing: Using therapeutic skills to enrich research in counselling and psychotherapy

McVey, Lynn, Lees, J., Nolan, G. 16 December 2020 (has links)
Yes / The researcher’s reflexive use of self forms part of a well-established tradition in counselling and psychotherapy research. This paper reviews that tradition briefly, with particular reference to an approach known as ‘practitioner-based research’ that has developed from it. In this approach, researcher-practitioners use their therapeutic skills and judgement and thereby enrich their understanding of research participants, themselves and their relationship. Aim: The paper aims to contribute to the practitioner-based approach by showing how it can impact on data collection, using an example from a qualitative interview. Methodology: A moment of interaction between a participant and a therapy researcher in a qualitative interview is examined, framed within psychotherapeutic intersubjectivity theory. The researcher’s reflexive awareness of micro-aspects of the relationship with the participant is reviewed, captured in their language and the split-second daydreams or reveries that arose as they interacted. Findings: The authors argue that the approach enhanced this small-scale study by intensifying the researcher’s engagement with the participant and enriching her understanding of their relationship and the subject under investigation. Implications: The paper highlights the unique value and contribution that this approach offers to therapy research and practice.

Merleau-Ponty and Levinas: Traces of Childlike Peace in a World at War

Bahler, Brock A. 15 June 2016 (has links)
Because Emmanuel Levinas distanced himself from Maurice Merleau-Ponty's philosophy for a more radical account of the self as primordially oriented by a radical passivity and asymmetrical ethical obligation to the other, few secondary sources have articulated the clear influence Merleau-Ponty had on the trajectory of Levinas's thought. Further, Levinas's more radical account of intersubjectivity raises three primary concerns: (1) Levinas resorts to a form of Platonic dualism when he depicts the other as beyond culture, history, and the physical appearance of the body; (2) there are questions as to whether the phenomena warrant his later view that the self is grounded in a radical passivity and an utter noncoincidence between self and other; (3) his ethics based on an infinite, asymmetrical obligation for the other conflates any kind of self-regard with egoism, thus creating a scenario in which my infinite concern for the singular other stands at odds with concerns of equality and justice. <br> Drawing on the work of Levinas and Merleau-Ponty, I develop a hybrid account of intersubjectivity. Echoing the work of Adriaan Peperzak, I depict the self-other relation as "chiastic asymmetry" that stresses that the asymmetry in Levinas's thought and the mutuality in Merleau-Ponty's must be seen as equiprimordial. Peperzak neither considers Merleau-Ponty's thought, nor does he provide a phenomenological description of chiastic asymmetry. The parent-child relationship provides this explanation by highlighting how ethics is cultivated simultaneously in both the child and the caregiver, and thus, both responsibility and mutuality constitute the self-other relation. In addition, the study of the parent-child relation (1) offers a phenomenological analyses of passivity and sensibility that decenter the autonomous, self-reflective cogito that is prioritized by Descartes, Kant, and Husserl and (2) stands in contrast to the predominant accounts of intersubjectivity that are grounded in self-interest, indifference, or shame, as represented by Hegel, Heidegger, and Sartre. This alternative account seeks to preserve the alterity of the other and unearths an originary posture toward the other that is peaceful and positive. <br> After considering Levinas's and Merleau-Ponty's respective roots in Husserl's thought (chapter 1), I respond to Levinas's criticisms of Merleau-Ponty in the areas of language, history, aesthetics, and embodiment (chapter 2). Then, I turn to their respective accounts of the parent-child relation, supplemented by current empirical research in child development, to establish my account of chiastic asymmetry (chapter 3). After explaining how chiastic asymmetry offers an alternative to the views set forth by Hegel, Heidegger, Sartre, and Hobbes (chapter 4), I conclude by considering how intersubjectivity as chiastic asymmetry might serve as a basis for a peaceful politics that reframes the use of violence and suggest its conceptual presence in the thought of Enrique Dussel, Desmond Tutu, and Miroslav Volf. <br> / McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts; / Philosophy / PhD; / Dissertation;
