Ecologies of participation| In between shamans, diviners, and metaphysicians

Cabot, Zayin Lawrence 11 February 2014 (has links)
<p> This dissertation revolves around the riddle of how to honor seemingly disparate traditions such as West African (Dagara) divinatory practices and Western philosophical <i>praxis</i>. The project, following the participatory approach of Jorge Ferrer and Jacob Sherman, sets out to honor these differences by embracing the agapeic-erotic metaphysics of William Desmond, and in so doing delimits modern distinctions between science, philosophy, religion, and anthropology. Rather than move beyond the important scholarly contributions of these fields, however, this dissertation embarks on an interdisciplinary adventure between these traditions by critically reading the work of Philippe Descola and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro in parallel with Desmond. This project articulates multiple ecologies of participation, with totemism, animism, and naturalism foremost among them. It clarifies how Descola and Viveiros de Castro's robust reading of animist/Amerindian shamanic perspectivism is in keeping with Ferrer and Sherman's participatory enaction. It is critical of Viveiros de Castro's dismissal of totemism as overly abstract, as well as Descola's conflation of naturalism solely with post-Enlightenment thought, and his broad use of the category of analogism to include disparate traditions such as Vedic, Ancient Chinese, Greek, West African, and Central American thought. By way of clarifying this critique, this dissertation applies the same participatory understanding offered to animism by Descola and Viveiros de Castro to both totemic (divinatory) and naturalist (metaphysical/philosophical) enactions, placing all three under the broader heading of ecological perspectivism. The subsequent comparative lens allows for a more balanced reading of these three ecologies by broadening the use of these terms. By including the work of Desmond, it also answers important concerns leveled by critics regarding the metaphysical underpinnings of Descola and Viveiros de Castro's assertions regarding ontological relativity. In so doing, this project sets the stage for renewed dialogue between what are often seen as radically divergent traditions (e.g., the animism of the Achuar, the totemism of the Guugu Yimithirr, and the naturalism of modern science).</p>

Was heißt Kulturgeschichte der Philosophie?

Schneider, Ulrich Johannes 11 December 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Was kann man unter Kulturphilosophie verstehen? Umfaßt sie den Bereich alter Artikulationsbedingungen des philosophischen Denkens? Oder fällt darunter der Bereich eines sozusagen randständigen historischen Wissens, welches das Philosophieren nur nebenbei berührt? Was wollen wir wissen, wenn wir nach der Kulturgeschichte der Philosophie fragen? Wollen wir überhaupt etwas wissen? Oder interessiert uns an dieser Frage ihr irrationales Potential, ihre Abseitigkeit, die sie jedenfalls für Philosophen hat? Wollen wir vielleicht unsere Vorstellung von Philosophie ändern, erweitern, indem wir nach ihr auch kulturhistorisch fragen? Oder wollen wir uns willentlich in Abseits der varia et curiosa begeben und unsere Vorstellung von Philosophie lediglich ergänzen, sozusagen garnieren, indem wir die Rubrik \"interessante Einzelheiten\" eröffnen und darunter sammeln, was wir für bemerkenswert halten. weil es \"auch\" zur Philosophie gehört?

Seeking good and right relations : student perspectives on the pedagogy of Joe Duquette high school

Hodgson-Smith, Kathy 02 October 2007
The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of Joe Duquette High School students through listening to their stories. My approach to listening developed out of the context of the school's Aboriginal philosophy. The thesis analyzes and describes what constitutes a meaningful education within the cultural framework of Good and Right Relations from the perspective of Joe Duquette High School students.<p> The Joe Duquette High School environment is a holistic one where the Sacred Circle philosophy and the good and right relations framework serves as a guide to the pedagogy of the school.<p> The methodology used in this thesis was shaped by the cultural philosophy of Joe Duquette High School and guided by student emphasis and meaning. A number of methodologies were drawn upon in order to approach the multiple contexts of the Joe Duquette High School cultural complex.<p> The central themes identified by students through their narratives serve as an organizational framework for the findings. My interpretation of what the students said is presented through my own personal narrative. I used my own story to develop more fully those ideas/concepts/ideals expressed by the students.<p>The main contribution of this study is highlighting the Joe Duquette High School experience through the students' perspectives and the method used to tell their story came out of the cultural context of the school.

Verstehen durch Vergleichen

Li, Lin-Po 05 August 2011 (has links)
Diese Studie möchte am Beispiel der Freiheit bei Zhuang Zhou und Ernst Cassirer zur Verständigung zwischen der chinesischen und der abendländischen Kultur beitragen. Ihre Vorstellungen vom Subjekt bezeichne ich jeweils als „das unbestimmte Ich“ und „das zu bestimmende Ich“. Während Zhuang Zhou die Entfaltung jener Unbestimmtheit angesichts ihrer Kehrseite als Eingrenzung offen lässt, erkennt Cassirer das Sich-selbst-Entfalten als Sich-selbst-Bestimmen und definiert die Natur des Menschen als Wirken, besonders kraft des symbolischen Denkens. So entwickelt der Letztere aus dem Bestimmen im positiven Sinne die Freiheit als Selbstbefreiung, während der Erstere aus demselben im negativen Sinne die Freiheit als Befreiung von Selbst gestaltet. Lassen sich die beiden Ansichten miteinander vereinbaren, so kann das Ich sich bei der Selbstbefreiung zugleich von seinem entfremdeten Selbst befreien. Auf dieser Kompatibilität der beiden kulturellen Perspektiven beschreibe ich die Freiheit als „die Möglichkeit zur Verwirklichung der Möglichkeiten“. Mit dieser Studie setze ich mir ein Ziel, ein Verfahren zum interkulturellen Dialog anhand des Schrifttums zu gestalten, und zwar derart, die Äußerungen in den ausgewählten Schriften verschiedener Kulturen miteinander so zu verflechten, als ob die Autoren ihre Thesen zu dem gleichen Thema ausgetauscht hätten. Für einen offenen und vorurteilsfreieren Vergleich gehe ich von keiner bestimmten Definition der Freiheit aus und konzipiere dabei eine Methode zur rekonstruierenden Interpretation, die ich als „Hauptthemen Nachspüren“ nenne. Für mich ist das Verstehen ein Prozess, sich für das Andere, das Unbekannte zu öffnen. Im Sinne dieser Offenheit bitte ich die Leser darum, meine Beschreibung der Freiheit als „die Möglichkeit zur Verwirklichung der Möglichkeiten“ nicht als eine strenge Definition zu verstehen, sondern als eine Anregung zur Erweiterung dieses Begriffs. / This study describes the freedom written by Zhuang Zhou and by Ernst Cassirer in order to contribute to understanding between the Chinese and Western culture. Their conceptions of the subject I characterize respectively as “the undefined Ego” and “the Ego to be defined”. Zhuang Zhou leaves the development of this indefiniteness open because the definiteness of ego connotes his limitation. Cassirer on the other side recognizes the self-development as self-defining and defines the nature of man as work, especially by means of the symbolic thought. Therefore, the latter views the defining in the positive sense and develops the freedom as self-liberation, while the former views the same in the negative sense and forms the freedom as liberation from self. If the two views could be reconciled, the ego will can liberate himself from his estranged self during his self-liberation. On the basis of compatibility of the both cultural perspectives, I describe the freedom as “the possibility to realize the possibilities”. With this study I set myself a goal to develop a procedure for the intercultural dialogue based on the literature, i.e. the utterances in the selected writings of different cultures should be interwoven with each other as if the authors have exchanged their theses on the same theme. To draw a comparison open-mindedly and free of prejudice I do not take a certain definition of freedom as the starting point, conceive a method of reconstructing interpretation, which is called by me “tracing the main-themes”. For me is the understanding a process of opening into the others, the unknown. In the sense of this openness I ask to read my description of freedom as “the possibility to realize the possibilities” not as a strict definition, but as an inspiration to broaden this concept.

Adornos legitime Erbin

Hess, Jörg 28 June 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Wie wollen wir diese hochgradig komplexe soziale Welt von heute verstehen, in der bald über 7 Mrd. Menschen auf vielerlei verschlungenen Kanälen miteinander kommunizieren und interagieren, ohne über eine brauchbare ‚General Theory‘ des gegenwärtigen globalen sozialen Weltsystems zu verfügen? Wie wollen wir verstehen, wie das soziale Weltsystem mit seiner ökologischen Umwelt interagiert, wenn wir über keine brauchbare universelle Theorie verfügen, die hinlänglich präzise erklären könnte, wie die ‚globalen Zustände‘ zustande kamen und kommen? Adornos legitime Erbin argumentiert wider die vorherrschende Meinung, das grandiose Scheitern des Marxismus-Leninismus habe große historische Welterklärungsversuche ein für alle Mal diskreditiert. Aufbauend auf einer akribischen Kritik Anthony Giddens‘ zeitdiagnostischem Spätwerk, entwirft die vorliegende Untersuchung den Bauplan einer ‚Forschungsplattform Anthropogenes Weltsystem‘, die vielleicht irgendwann tatsächlich leisten kann, woran Kritische Theorie bislang noch immer scheiterte: schrittweise das Verständnis schaffen, das geschaffen werden muss, damit die Menschheit hoffen darf, die über kurz oder lang drohende doppelte soziale und ökologische Krisis des 21. Jahrhunderts zu meistern.
