A (dis)Assemblage of the Gallery-Growlery exhibition and writing presents itself as a site of a morphological exploration of language, sound, and objects in tandem with the irreducibly venting black expression. Venting, the black expression never seeks wholeness within objects or language itself for it is a thing-in-itself. Its presence affords critical reception to a residue of delimiting forms. All growls eschew verbal objects for the manifestation of pure phonetics. A growl in a gallery is the growl. The growl resounds through the physicality of the objects and gallery. Also, it unwinds the object-among-objects as the phono-present stretches the discursive and existential limits of the Fanonian phenomenon. Hence, the contention and conjunction between physicality and acoustics—the visual and sonic—is the gallery-growlery.

This thesis is a critical assessment of Edith Stein’s critique of Martin Heidegger, which is focused on the definition of the human being. I explore Stein’s ontology of the person from the point of view of her examination of Heidegger’s existential ‘Dasein’ and the way she reaches a very different answer to the same question that Heidegger posed, the question of the meaning of being. To this end I examine key passages of Stein’s most important ontological work Finite and Eternal Being - An Attempt at an Ascent to the Meaning of Being along with its appendix Martin Heidegger’s Philosophy of Existence, in which she directly discussed Heidegger’s philosophy, focusing on his work Being and Time. In the first part of this research I draw a historico-philosophical overview of the academic and political background of the period between World War I and World War II in Germany in order to position both authors in context and investigate their philosophical influences as well as their ambiguous relationship with the phenomenological school. The central part is dedicated to Stein’s analysis of Heidegger’s Dasein: I compare and explain both authors’ approaches to the philosophical understanding of human being, person, life, soul and death. This investigation was carried out with both a hermeneutical and terminological analysis. I draw upon the results to demonstrate how Stein’s phenomenology of life experiences enlarges the borders of human finitude to embrace the possibility of its ontological horizon while Heidegger restricts and concentrates the entire ontological question on the Dasein, its existence and ultimately its finitude. My findings provide an assessment of the limits as well as the strengths of Stein’s critique. I demonstrate that Stein attempted to build a bridge between classical ontology and phenomenology, while Heidegger’s distance from the philosophical tradition was rooted in his methodological refusal. I also show how their opposite methods and findings present unexpected similarities and how Stein’s philosophical significance should be reconsidered in the light of her work. This research leads to various implications for today’s philosophical debate and makes it possible to view Stein’s theory of being in a wider ethical context, as presented in the final part of this work. I argue that Heidegger depersonalises and violates traditional ontology to explain the human being only in terms of pure existence, while Stein’s portrait of the ‘fullness’ and the meaning of life contributes to the discussion between philosophy and religion. In the final section of this work I show how some of the elements emerging from Stein’s critique of Heidegger can cast a light on the current ethical discussion about how death is understood and experienced socially, and how best to care for the dying.

<p>Studien utforskade de närståendes livsvärld när partnern drabbats av Alzheimers sjukdom. Deras livsvärld och existentiella villkor var i fokus. Studien utgick från ett existentiellt fenomenologiskt tolkande perspektiv. Den teoretiska grunden bestod av ett tänkande kring de närståendes livsvärld utifrån fyra existentialer: det levda rummet, den levda tiden, den levda kroppen och den levda relationen. Datainsamling skedde utifrån Max van Manens utforskande intervjuer med tio närstående, fem kvinnor och fem män i yrkesverksam ålder 40 till 64 år, de levde alla tillsammans med en partner som fått sin diagnos för ett år sedan eller längre. Data analyserades genom att lyssna igenom de digitala inspelningarna flera gånger, transkribering av desamma och genomläsning av de utskrivna texterna, nya genomlyssningar och genomläsningar. Analysen utvecklades genom en hermeneutisk, fenomenologisk reflektion beskriven av van Manen. Studiens resultat kategoriserades och dessa analyserades sedan i fyra delar utifrån de fyra existentialerna. Resultatet visade att upplevelsen av den levda tiden blev annorlunda mot tidigare då framtiden fick stå tillbaka för nuet, som var det som de närstående måste förhålla sig till för att vardagen skulle fungera. Det levda rummets aspekter förändrades utifrån skyddsaspekten och nya roller inom familjen. Den levda kroppen krävde egen återhämtning och längtade efter närhet.

The first chapter explains the crisis of modern systematic thought and Kierkegaard`s criticism to logic formal thought and points to their interferes on contemporary education, understanding on the individual established in the context of modernity, the need for communication and the role of subjectivity in the transition from generic individual to individual in existence. The second chapter is about the concept of subjectivity and its relevance in the construction of the individual in Kierkegaard, delimited by the pseudonym Johannes Climacus in the work Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments. Inferred also on the relationship between disciple and master and the critical to our educational system from Philosophical Fragments. Even in the second chapter, the concept of edifying emerges as fundamental contribution to the education of subjectivity in Works of Love. The third chapter deals with kierkegaardian irony as apparatus of systematic descontruction, valuing the meaningful language of education, seriousness and humor. The fourth chapter relates the kierkegaardians concepts presented to the need of edification to a education of subjectivity that address the otherness, commitment and human existence, considering legal requirements and the necessary descontruction of actual pedagogical procedures so that education is not restricted to discussion and reflection, but established in practice and in the action of the existence. The (In) conclusion presents the possibility of developments in this research in future work, addressing the relationship between individual and state, community and society and with suggestions of possible dialogues with other author. / O trabalho que ora se apresenta trata sobre a educação da subjetividade no pensamento de Søren Kierkegaard, filósofo dinamarquês da primeira metade do século XIX. O primeiro capítulo explana sobre a crise do pensamento sistemático moderno e a crítica de Kierkegaard ao pensamento lógico formal e aponta suas inferências na educação contemporânea, versando sobre o indivíduo estabelecido no contexto da modernidade, a necessidade da comunicação e o papel da subjetividade na transição do indivíduo genérico para o Indivíduo na existência. O segundo capítulo trata o conceito de subjetividade e sua relevância na edificação do Indivíduo em Kierkegaard, delimitado pelo pseudônimo Johannes Climacus na obra Post-Scriptum conclusivo, não científico às Migalhas Filosóficas. Infere também sobre a relação entre discípulo e mestre e a crítica a nosso sistema educacional a partir das Migalhas Filosóficas. Ainda no segundo capítulo, o conceito de edificante surge como aporte fundamental para a educação da subjetividade nas Obras do Amor. O terceiro capítulo trata a ironia kierkegaardiana como aparato de desconstrução sistemática, valorizando a linguagem significativa da educação, a seriedade e o humor. O quarto capítulo relaciona os conceitos kierkegaardianos apresentados com a necessidade da edificação para uma educação da subjetividade que contemple a alteridade, o compromisso e a existência humana, considerando as exigências legais e a desconstrução necessária dos procedimentos pedagógicos atuais para que a educação não se restrinja ao debate e à reflexão, mas se estabeleça na prática e na ação da existência. A (In) conclusão apresenta a possibilidade de desdobramentos desta pesquisa em trabalhos futuros, abordando as relações entre indivíduo e estado, comunidade e sociedade e com sugestões de possíveis diálogos com outros autores.

Šiame darbe analizuojama kokia yra egzistencializmo samprata. Magistriniame darbe pateikiamos egzistencializmo atstovų teorijos apie egzistencializmo esmę. Savo filosofinėmis idėjomis egzistencialistai pristato keliamas problemas. Visi egzistencializmo krypties atstovai aiškinasi būties, gyvenimo prasmės, kančios problemas. Prie egzistencinių ir neišvengiamų problemų žmogaus gyvenime priskiriamos – kova, kaltė, nuobodulys, maištas, absurdo jausmas. Iškeltai hipotezei patvirtinti atliktas praktinis tyrimas su 11 – 12 klasių moksleiviais. Susumavus tyrimo rezultatus formuluotos išvados. Egzistencializmo srovė ypatinga ir išskirtinė yra tuo, kad didelį dėmesį skiria žmogaus būčiai. Egzistencializmas gvildena atskiro žmogaus problemas. Pabrėžiamas žmogaus laikiškumas ir laikinumas. Iškeliamas žmogaus gyvenimo beprasmiškumas. Baigtinė žmogaus egzistencija pasaulyje ir jos įprasminimas – pagrindinė egzistencializmo problema. Egzistencializmo srovė ypatinga dar ir tuo, kad savo idėjoms išreikšti dažnai rinkosi meninę, literatūrinę kalbą, kurioje tarsi persikūnydavo į kitą asmenį. Pagal požiūrį į tikėjimą, egzistencializmas yra skirstomas į „krikščioniškąjį“ ir „ateistinį“. Krikščioniškieji egzistencialistai savo idėjas paremia Dievo buvimu. Tuo tarpu ateistinio mąstymo filosofų idėjos yra paremtos Dievo neigimu. Iškeliamas žmogaus laisvas pasirinkimas kurti, veikti. Atlikus egzistencializmo atstovų A. Camus‘o - „Krytis“, „Maras“, „Svetimas“, „Sizifo mitas“... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / This paper analysis the concept of existentialism. The master thesis presents the theories of the representatives of existentialism on the essence of existentialism. Philosophical ideas of the existentialists represent relevant problems. All representatives of existentialism trend develop the problems of subsistence, meaning of life, anguish. Struggle, guilt, boredom, rebellion, feeling of absurdity are all assigned to existential and inevitable problems that a person faces in life. To justify the hypothesis, a practical study has been made, which involves 11-12 grade students. After summarizing the results of the study, the conclusions have been made. Existentialism trend is special and exceptional for paying special attention to the subsistence of a human being. Existentialism examines the problems of individual people. Temporality and impermanence of a human life are emphasized. Futility of the human life is highlighted. Finite human existence in the world and its meaning is the main problem of existentialism. This trend is also specific for choosing artistic, literary language, which helped to reincarnate into other person. Depending on the attitude to faith, existentialism is divided into “Christian” and “atheistic”. Christian existentialists base their ideas on the existence of God. While the ideas of atheistic philosophers are based on the denial of God. Free choice of a person to create, act is amplified. After analysing the works of the representatives of... [to full text]

Cette thèse porte sur l’esthétique phénoménologique d’Edmund Husserl et de ses disciples du Cercle de Munich. Sous l’influence conjointe de Husserl et de Theodor Lipps, les jeunes phénoménologues munichois Aloys Fischer, Theodor Conrad et Moritz Geiger ont donné naissance à l’esthétique phénoménologique au tournant du XXe siècle en élaborant un programme esthétique fondé sur la thèse de l’objectivité des valeurs. Comme Husserl, l’esthétique était pour eux une « science de la valeur » [Wertwissenschaft]. Le premier chapitre expose le programme du Cercle de Munich et définit la méthode phénoménologique en esthétique en la distinguant des approches psychologiques et philosophiques ou métaphysiques. Le deuxième traite de l’histoire du mouvement phénoménologique depuis son origine dans l’école de Lipps à Munich jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale et de la « phénoménologie de l’objet » qui a joué un rôle central dans l’élaboration de l’esthétique du Cercle de Munich. Les troisième et quatrième chapitres présentent une reconstitution de l’esthétique de Husserl à partir de ses œuvres de la période de Göttingen (1901-1916), et ils portent non seulement sur sa conception de l’attitude esthétique comme « intérêt au mode d’apparition », mais aussi sur sa théorie de l’« objectivation » ou de la « constitution » des valeurs esthétiques. Finalement, le dernier chapitre est consacré à l’esthétique de Moritz Geiger et montre, notamment, que l’« esthétique existentielle » qu’il a développée dans les années 1920 et 1930 remet en cause, jusqu’à un certain point, l’« esthétique de la valeur » qu’il défendait par ailleurs conformément au programme du Cercle de Munich. / This thesis is a study of the phenomenological aesthetics of Edmund Husserl and his followers of the Munich Circle. Under the joint influence of Husserl and Theodor Lipps, Munich phenomenologists Aloys Fischer, Theodor Conrad and Moritz Geiger founded phenomenological aesthetics at the turn of the twentieth century. Aesthetics was for them, as for Husserl, a « science of value » [Wertwissenschaft]. The first chapter outlines the program of the Munich Circle in aesthetics, defines the phenomenological method, and distinguiches it from psychological and philosophical of metaphysical aesthetics. The second focuses on the history of the phenomenological movement from its origins in the School of Lipps in Munich to the First World War and on the « phenomenology of the object » which played a central role in the development of the aesthetics of the Munich Circle. The third and fourth chapters present a reconstruction of the aesthetics of Husserl’s works from the period of Göttingen (1901-1916) and address his conception of aesthetics attitude as an « interest in the mode of appearance » as well as his theory of « objectification » or « constitution » of values. The last chapter discusses the aesthetics of Moritz Geiger from is article on aesthetic enjoyment in 1913 to is posthumous work Die Bedeutung der Kunst, and deals with the problem of the unity of his thought concerning aesthetics of value.

This thesis explores the transformative potential of the co-authorship dynamic between game developers and players in The Squared Circle, an abstract video game designed to facilitate personality development. Drawing inspiration from existentialist philosophy, psychotherapy, and game design, the study examines the intricate interplay between gameplay mechanics, narrative depth, and psychological exploration. Employing a research-through-design methodology, the researcher analyzes The Squared Circle’s elements through psychological, philosophical, and ludological literature. The game's initial focus on engaging gameplay mechanics evolved to incorporate textual significance and symbolic play, inspired by Carl Jung's theory of Individuation. Through playtesting, observations, and interviews, the study investigates the psychological and philosophical effects of the game. Players engage in symbolic representation and journaling, delving into their unconscious aspects and exploring personal experiences within the game world. The co-authorship dynamic fosters introspection expands self-understanding, and invites transformative experiences. The findings highlight the significance of journaling and symbolic play as tools for personal growth and self-expression within the game. Players navigate the symbolic landscape, uncover hidden meanings, and co-create their own narrative, leading to increased self-awareness and psychological integration. This research contributes to understanding games as a medium for personal transformation and psychological exploration. The study underscores the importance of co-authorship, journaling, and symbolic representation in designing games that facilitate introspection, meaningful experiences, and the development of the player's personality.

The present dissertation is a case study in applied phenomenology, specifically the postcolonial phenomenology of racism theorized by Lewis Gordon and applied to scholarly studies conducted on African American Jews and their kinfolk. My thesis is the following: Presumptively ontological human natures cannot function axiomatically for humanistic research on African American Jews. A humanistic science of Africana Jews must foreground the lived social worlds that permit such Jews to appear as ordinary expressions of humanity. The basic premise here is that subaltern (or denied) humanity exists in a neocolonial social world by virtue of an ordinariness that supervenes on humanity. For example, the more historians consider Africana Jews as ordinary, the more Africana Jews' humanity will appear. And the more human Africana Jews appear, the more inhuman their extraordinary appearance appears. This symbiosis constitutes a basic existential condition. When research on Africana Jews ignores this condition, it succumbs to ontological Jewishnness and other concepts rooted in what postcolonial theorist Frantz Fanon calls the "colonial natural attitude. / Religion
