Full textAbstract:
A comunicação tem como propósito uma análise comparativa sobre o problema filosófico da arte como expressão de verdade, tendo em vista o idealismo platônico e o idealismo estético moderno de G.W.Hegel. Parte-se da hipótese que a presente análise sustenta uma relação paradoxal entre ambas propostas idealistas, na medida em que se em Platão é afirmada a tese da arte como distanciamento da verdade, considerando o seu caráter essencialmente mimético, em Hegel , a arte ao constituir-se como momento de realização efetiva (Wirklichkeit) do Espírito só pode ser assim compreendida a partir do paradigma da ideia, de inspiração platônica. Ressalta-se a compreensão da arte oriunda da teoria metafísica platônica e de sua concepção idealista de aisthesis, bem como o caráter científico da estética, segundo Hegel, cuja fundamentação filosófica reivindica a compreensão da ideia, enquanto razão absoluta que se autodesdobra historicamente e se efetiva nos limites da finitude sensível. Pretende-se mostrar que a pretensa superação hegeliana da concepção idealista platônica acerca da arte não pode prescindir do fundamento do platonismo - a idéia universal, o infinito. Abstract: The Communication aims a comparative analysis on the philosophical problem of the art as an expression of truth, considering the Platonic idealism and the modern esthetic idealism from Hegel. The starting point is the assumption that this analysis holds a paradoxical relationship between both idealistic proposals, Insofar as Plato affirms the art thesis as detachment from the truth, considering his character essentially mimetic, Hegel says that the art to establish itself as a moment of effective realization from the Spirit (Wirklichkeit) can only be understood from the paradigm of the idea, of Platonic inspiration. We emphasize the art understanding coming from the Platonic metaphysics theory and his idealistic conception of aisthesis, as well as the scientific character of aesthetics, according to Hegel, whose philosophical foundation claims the understanding of the idea, as absolute reason that self unfolds historically carries up within the limits of finitude sensitive. It is intended to show that the Hegelian overcoming supposed from Platonic idealist conception about the art can not prescind from foundation of Platonism - the universal idea, the infinity.

Leibniz's concept of monads had of great importance for the development of the idealistic conception. Through Kant and his "Physical Monadology" she infiltrated into modern German philosophy. However, not only modern idealists referred to the concept of monads. Especially, that many scientific disciplines, which emanated from philosophy, related to the scope of idealistic notions, for example: psychology or sociology. German psychology and its creators have many often referred to monads theory. Freud, Fromm and Jung presented even their own point of views on this topic. Later theories, such as Lowe's theory, also refer to the concept of monads. These relations and the historical connections between monad theory and modern German psycho-philosophy are shown in this work.

Full textAbstract:
The research work is devoted to the examination of the definition of beauty in ancient philosophers’ worldview conceptions such as Aristotle, Platon, Pythagoras and Stoics. The author studied the basis development of philosophic ideas in the period of the ancient philosophy applied to idealistic conception of world understanding the definition of beauty.
 Materials for research are based on works of ancient philosophers and scientific publications on the topic of research as well.
 The method of research is a comparative analysis that allows synthesizing theoretical and conceptual basis of definitions; the interpreting method of scientific and fiction philosophy works; synthesis method and analogy of receiving data for systematization and definition patterns of world view ancient philosophers positions’ conceptual basis.
 Results. The definition of beauty is examined consequently with words “soul”, “body”, “good’, so, it is morally oriented in the ancient philosophers’ work. It is used with strong relationship with idea about beauty in surrounding material and spiritual world. The conception of beauty was analyzed and generalized in the ancient philosophers’ treatises and arguments. The author evaluated aesthetics aspect of the idealistic conception of beauty.
 The period under consideration characterized by rising and formation of anthropological aesthetics replaced cosmological theory and made a great impact on the definition of beauty in nature and art. The author examined idealistic and subjective approach to the definition of beauty. The conclusion is that ancient philosophers enrich the definition of beauty in art and nature, focusing their statements on subjective side of the relationship between a person and surrounding world. The article presents the analysis and interpretation of Aristotle, Plato’s philosophical writings, defined idealistic concepts’ basis of beauty in ancient philosophy.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper aims to show how insurance mechanisms that historically propelled a conception of fairness based on solidarity and a collective approach shifted along the 20th century towards an idealistic adjustment to individual risk. Insurance originally assumed that, while individual hazards remained unknown, risk could be measured and managed on the aggregate. An examination of the proceedings of the American Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) during the 20th century demonstrates the slow crystallization of another conception of fairness, that aims at a scientific adjustment of insurance premiums to actual “individual risks.” I argue that this conception of fairness deconstructs the one based on solidarity. Big data technologies have further radicalized this shift. By aiming at predictive individual risk scores rather than average costs estimated on the aggregate, the algorithms contribute to replacing fairness as solidarity by the correctness of a computation.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the difficulties of providing an adequate physicalist solution to the problem of consciousness, recent years have seen explorations of different avenues. Among these is the thesis of cosmopsychism, the view that the cosmos as a whole possesses consciousness. However, constitutive cosmopsychism is faced with the difficult problem of decombination: how to consistently maintain the claim that individual subjects are grounded in one absolute consciousness. This paper suggests a solution by outlining a theoretical model of a broadly idealistic and quantitative substance-monistic character. The key idea here is a triadic rather than monistic or dualistic conception of the subject. This conception allows us to affirm that the individual subject exists while simultaneously holding that its substance component is part of the one, undivided substance. This substance is in turn the substantive component of an all-encompassing, absolute subject. Notably, this model avoids the problem of decombination.

Full textAbstract:
Master Eckhart's metaphysics can be interpreted as a metaphysics of freedom. He doesn't understand freedom, however, as what comes about by fulfilment of the particulare being of man (esse proprium ), but as the contrary: What in a proper sense is the being of man (esse proprie), i.e. absolute being, comes about only insofar as man is not any more what he was as a creature. This is a conception which caracterizes any idealistic metaphysics, presenting essential analogies with post-Kantian systems and against which the bull In agro dominico (1329) reacted, mantaining a realistic metaphysical point of view.

Full textAbstract:
Transhumanistic intentions has been manifested in one form or another throughout the existence of humankind. However, the culture of the late 20th and early 21st centuries receives powerful scientific and technological means for the embodiment of transhumanist ideals in physical reality and the development of a new transhuman reality. Transhumanism acquires an independent ideological significance, necessitating a holistic and multifaceted cultural analysis of its issues. The purpose of the article is to form a concept of the transhumanism term, considering it in a broad cultural and historical context, in the synchrony and diachrony dimension of the cultural continuum. The study’s objectives include analysing key features of the main varieties of transhumanism, the creation of appropriate definitions, typology and periods, and the analysis of the main trends in the development of transhumanism. The author’s complex solution to the above-listed problems includes the scientific novelty of this work. The research methodology in cultural studies is based on historical and cultural, 20 Гоц, Л.С. Трансгуманізм у синхронно-діахронному вимірі культури: концептуалізація, типологія і періодизація synchrony and diachrony, system, structural approaches and the following qualitative methods: conception and terminology analysis, typology and historical backgrounds, comparative, problem and chronological analysis. Conclusions. The conception of the transhumanism term in the synchrony and diachrony dimension of culture has made it possible to create a holistic typology and historical background of transhumanism and develop appropriate definitions. The author’s typology of transhumanism by type of worldview is given in the chronological and logical order of their emergence: 1) sacral transhumanism (idealistic), i.e. mythological, magical, religious and idealistic philosophical transhumanism; 2) secular (materialistic) transhumanism, i.e. materialistic philosophical, scientific and technological transhumanism; artistic transhumanism exists during all human history — first as sacral, then as secular. These types of transhumanism often form hybrid forms and coexist in time in parallel. The steady tendency of the evolution of transhumanism from the ideal to the material is explained in the study.

<strong>Abstract. </strong>In this article, an analytical view of the general theories of language genesis is presented. The evolutional, idealistic and cognitive approaches to the exploration of language origins are described in the theoretical part. At the end of this part the author explains the meaning and origin of the term "synesthesia" and demonstrates the foundation of its practical reasonability. In the practical part of work an empirical study of the phenomenon of synesthesia is carried out, based on literary Ukrainian-language material. The phenomenon referred to is considered to have been one of the sources of the creation of new words during the development of civilization. It is ascertained that synesthesia is a genuine phenomenon which, in the author’s opinion, is able to reinforce the sound imitation theory of language genesis, along with the concept of memes.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe Cartesian concept of nature, which has determined modem thinking until the present time, has become obsolete. It shall be shown that Hegel's objective-idealistic conception of nature discloses, in comparison to that of Descartes, new perspectives for the comprehension of nature and that this, in turn, results in possibilities of actualizing Hegel's philosophy of nature.If the argumentation concerning philosophy of nature is intended to catch up with the concrete Being-of-nature and to meet it in its concretion, then this is impossible for the finite spirit in a strictly a priori sense — this is the thesis supported here which is not at all close to Hegel. As the argumentation rather has to consider the conditions of realization concerning the Being-of-nature, too, it is compelled to take up empirical elements — concerning the organism, for instance, system-theoretical aspects, physical and chemical features of the nervous system, etc. With that, on the one hand, empirical-scientific premises are assumed (e.g. the lawlikeness of nature), which on the other hand become (now close to Hegel) possibly able to be founded in the frame of a Hegelian-idealistic conception. In this sense, a double strategy of empirical-scientific concretization and objective-idealistic foundation is followed up, which represents the methodical basic principle of the developed considerations.In the course of the undertaking, the main aspects of the whole Hegelian design concerning the philosophy of nature are considered — space and time, mass and motion, force and law of nature, the organism, the problem of evolution, psychic being — as well as Hegel's basic thesis concerning the philosophy of nature, that therein a tendency towards coherence and idealization manifests itself in the sense of a (categorically) gradually rising succession of nature: from the separateness of space to the ideality of sensation. In the sense of the double strategy of concretization and foundation it is shown that on the one hand possibilities of philosophical penetration concerning actual empirical-scientific results are opened, and on the other hand — in tum — a re-interpretation of Hegel's theorem on the basis of physical, evolution-theoretical and system-theoretical argumentation also becomes possible. In this mutual crossing-over and elucidation of empirical and Hegelian argumentation not only do perspectives of a new comprehension of nature become visible, but also, at the same time — as an essential consequence of this methodical principle — thoughts on the possibilities of actualizing Hegel's philosophy of nature.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to explore how the Swedish writer Ellen Key’s ideas on collective motherliness and on the relationship between man and woman were received and reformulated in the articles, poetry and prose of Sibilla Aleramo and Ada Negri before and after the First World War. The ideas in Aleramo’s autobiographical novel Una donna (1906) were close to Key’s theories, but her autobiographical novel Il passaggio (1919) was quite different. Ada Negri’s idealistic view of motherhood, as expressed in her collection of poetry Maternità (1904), corresponded to parts of Key’s conception of motherhood, while Negri’s dream of single motherhood and the realisation of that ideal is emphasized in her autobiographical novel Stella mattutina (1921).

Liu, Jia-Hau. "The practical philosophy of T.H. Green : an idealistic conception of liberal politics." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2015. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/76111/.
Full textAbstract:
As a critical advocate of the philosophy of Enlightenment, Thomas Hill Green (1836-1882) reconsidered the development of the empiricist and naturalistic philosophies of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and held that their development was connected in intricate ways to various quite specific issues arising in nineteenth-century British society. In order to respond to these issues, he established a comprehensive framework of philosophical thought as the foundation for his practical activities. In this framework, the core argument focuses on the relationship between consciousness and action. However, though Green’s philosophy has been widely investigated, no study has, as yet, focused exclusively on Green’s practical philosophy, and in particular his idea of the ethical citizen. This thesis undertakes this task and argues firstly that viewing the relationship between consciousness and action as the nexus of the human condition, Green’s practical philosophy is a coherent and consistent philosophical system which includes metaphysics; moral and ethical theory; and social and political theory. I then go on to argue that, by virtue of his philosophical system, Green founded political activity on the basis of metaphysical and moral ideas, on the one side, but on the other side, provided politics with a deep raison d’être; that is, to maintain and to provide the equality of opportunity for individuals by means of state power. Finally, I argue that while Green accordingly established a justification for state action, the nature of such state action relates closely to the self-government of individual citizens. Hence, Green’s practical philosophy provides an ethical theory of politics which underpins an important legacy for contemporary liberal political philosophy.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter begins with the framing of the UNESCO constitution in 1945 and T. S. Eliot’s objections to the conception of culture that underpinned it. It then traces the development of Eliot’s own traditionalist-conservative cultural thinking from ‘Tradition and the Individual Talent’ (1919) and After Strange Gods (1934) to Notes Towards the Definition of Culture (1948), focusing on the idealist-organicist assumptions that shaped his commitment to cultural diversity, his idea of an exclusively Christian Europe, and his anti-Semitism. The third section shows how he pitted the internationalism of his little magazine the Criterion, which was a forum for his ‘European Idea’, against the ICIC. The chapter concludes by comparing Eliot’s ineffectual intervention in the UNESCO debates in the 1940s to Claude Lévi-Strauss’s no less controversial but more influential intervention in the 1970s.

Full textAbstract:
Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi, a key figure in the reception of Kant’s critical philosophy, has long been regarded as a critic of the Enlightenment, who argued that philosophical reflection leads to a form of nihilism and advocated the idea that all human knowledge “derives from revelation and faith.” This chapter sheds new light on the reasons why Jacobi uses religious language to criticize the philosophical tradition. Going against a long tradition of interpreters who believe that Jacobi is an irrationalist, Nisenbaum argues that Jacobi’s concern is to restore human reason by unveiling reason’s practical foundation. In doing so, it highlights largely overlooked parallels between Jacobi’s so-called philosophy of faith and Kant’s prioritizing of the practical. Noting these parallels helps clarify both Jacobi’s philosophical contribution and the manner in which the post-Kantian German Idealists understood Kant’s conception of the relationship and conflict between theoretical and practical reason.

Full textAbstract:
This book, which refers to every play in the canon as well as to Shakespeare’s narrative poems and several sonnets, begins by exploring how the signifier ‘will’ denotes sexual desire within Shakespearean contexts. Unlike earlier treatments of sexuality in Shakespeare’s work, Joan Lord Hall’s study deals fully with how his plays and poems treat the issue of rape and sexual coercion—the potential violence of male desire. After exploring the dark side of ‘will’, the book analyses the playwright’s critique of idealistic Petrarchan and Neoplatonic conceptions of love that tend to bypass sexual desire. It also covers Shakespeare’s sceptical approach to ‘fancy’: infatuation driven by visual attraction. Central chapters discuss ways in which Shakespeare’s plays reflect early modern views on the role of sex and love in marriage, and they assess in greater detail than ever before how these texts show heterosexual relationships challenged by homoerotic attraction and same-sex friendship. Finally, the book explores in depth incestuous currents in in the plays—the issue of sexual desire within the family. Its eight chapters provide a comprehensive, fresh understanding of how Shakespeare presents and to some extent reconciles two areas that are often polarized in the early modern period: sexual desire and romantic love.

Full textAbstract:
Hegel’s philosophy exerted a magnetic attraction on the various thinkers that comprise the Frankfurt school. This chapter aims to gauge and specify the relation that three members of the ‘inner circle’ of the Frankfurt school (Horkheimer, Adorno, and Marcuse) have to Hegel. It concludes that the young Horkheimer is a Hegelian-Marxist who endorses a qualified Hegelianism, while claiming that Hegel’s idealist metaphysics had become obsolete and superseded by a combination of sociology, psychology, and materialist historiography. Adorno remains a more committed Hegelian (and a Marxist-Hegelian) who sees his own dialectical approach to philosophy as emerging from and consistent with an immanent criticism of Hegel. Both, however, tend to reject Hegel’s philosophy of objective spirit as conservative apology for the Prussian state. Marcuse, by contrast, is a Hegelian-Marxist who has a more scholarly, nuanced, and charitable approach to Hegel, placing more emphasis on the critical moment in Hegel’s conception of reason.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 5 problematizes the prevalent way of conceptualizing the relationship between fiction and history in terms of the actual and the possible. It argues that both fictional and autobiographical narratives have potential to cultivate one’s sense of history as a sense of the possible, and it examines four different aspects of their contribution to historical imagination. The chapter analyzes how Günter Grass’s Hundejahre (1963, Dog Years) and his autobiography Beim Häuten der Zwiebel (2006, Peeling the Onion) explore the historical world of Nazi Germany as a space of possibilities, how they self-reflexively examine—against idealist and determinist conceptions—the way history consists in concrete actions and inactions, how they unearth the ways narrative interpretations of the past shape one’s orientation to the present, and how they address the duty to remember—and to engage with the conditions of possibility of atrocity—through a future-oriented narrative ethics of implication.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter traces trends in nineteenth-century thought concerning eschatology and apocalypticism. Contrary to twentieth-century wisdom, eschatology was of central importance in nineteenth-century Christian consciousness and its philosophical inflections. Radical developments were seen in the doctrines of hell (whose eternal duration was increasingly questioned or rejected in favour of versions of apocatastasis) and the question of an imminent earthly messianic kingdom. Eschatological conceptions of history were secularized in Idealist and Romantic narratives of education and nationalist aspiration. In all these areas, the nineteenth-century eschatological consciousness was overwhelmingly one of continuity between earthly progress and transcendent continuation or fulfilment. This model of continuity began to be questioned in theology and biblical studies in the waning nineteenth century, and collapsed by the dawn of the First World War. Models of rupture now took its place, tendentiously projecting back onto the nineteenth century an ‘eschatological slumber’ from which only the twentieth century roused theology.

Full textAbstract:
The World According to Kant offers an interpretation of Immanuel Kant’s critical idealism, as developed in the Critique of Pure Reason and associated texts. Critical idealism is understood as an ontological position, which comprises transcendental idealism, empirical realism, and a number of other basic ontological theses. According to Kant, the world, understood as the sum total of everything that has reality, comprises several levels of reality, most importantly, the transcendental level and the empirical level. The transcendental level is a mind-independent level at which things in themselves exist. The empirical level is a fully mind-dependent level at which appearances exist, which are intentional objects of experience. Empirical objects and empirical minds are appearances, and empirical space and time are constituted by the spatial and temporal determinations of appearances. On the proposed interpretation, Kant is thus a genuine idealist about empirical objects, empirical minds, and space and time. But in contrast to other intentional objects, appearances genuinely exist, which is due both to the special character of experience compared to other kinds of representations such as illusions and dreams, and to the grounding of appearances in things themselves. This is why, on the proposed interpretation, Kant is also a genuine realist about empirical objects, empirical minds, and empirical space and time. This book develops the indicated interpretation, spells out Kant’s case for critical idealism thus understood, pinpoints the differences between critical idealism and ‘ordinary’ idealism, such as Berkley’s, and clarifies the relation between Kant’s conception of things in themselves and the conception of things in themselves by other philosophers, in particular, Kant’s Leibniz-Wolffian predecessors.

Sotiropoulos, George. Materialist Theory of Justice. Rowman & Littlefield, 2019. https://doi.org/10.5040/9798881809294.
Full textAbstract:
A Materialist Theory of Justice offers an innovative (re)reading of justice that draws from diverse theoretical currents, tracing in the process an age-old tradition of critical thought. Raising the banner of materialism against idealist conceptions, justice is conceived as a multiple process, which emerges in the dynamic reproduction and interaction of material bodies. Mapping out its presence on non-human fields, justice is then shown to attain in human beings the status of a contentious problem and a productive desire, which is related to the pursuit of a good life and is also determinative of human history. The theorization enlarges the scope of the notion by incorporating a wide spectrum of phenomena, from animal forms of sociality and activity, to revolution, empire, civil war up to and including the riots that spread out in the world today. In this way, the book also manages to extend beyond the disciplinary boundaries of normative political theory, within which theories of justice are usually logged, and enter a productive discussion with various currents of critical thought.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 6 argues that the solution to the Taiwan question must take into account Taiwan’s desires and place in international relations, and that to do so, Beijing has to reconsider its Taiwan policy in terms of a new conception of sovereignty. It attempts to transcend nationalist thinking, challenge the traditional concept of sovereignty, and outline an alternative concept of sovereignty. It provides a logical analysis of the impact of the old versus new conceptions of sovereignty on the resolution to the Taiwan question. While it is conceded that the alternative idea of sovereignty developed in this chapter may be too ‘idealistic’ or ‘alien’ to be accepted, it is hoped that the idea may appeal to the next generation of political leaders.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter presents the life and work of the nineteenth-century US American idealist Anna C. Brackett. As a philosopher, translator, school principal, and journalist, she was involved both practically and theoretically in the social changes of her time. Particularly concerned with the importance of education for achieving an equal standing for women in society, she applied a conception of a genderless mind in the tradition of Hegel and his disciple Rosenkranz. This practical adaption of Hegelian philosophy allowed her to deconstruct limitations based on gender but had troubling consequences when applied to the education of African-Americans and Native Americans. The article discusses both her arguments for the emancipation of women and her colonialist and paternalist concept of the education of marginalized cultures. It is argued that both consequences can be explained by a specific concept of mind (Geist) that can only be understood adequately in the context of German idealistic philosophy.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter discusses the art theories of Henri Focillon and Meyer Schapiro in order to explore the potential of an art history based on speculative realism. The focus lies on three basic positions in their writings, considered to be productive for the perspective of a speculative art history, as they transcend idealistic and language centered concepts of art history. First, both Focillon and Schapiro consider the artwork as an object with a reality of its own, causing things to happen. Second, both of them hold a relational and processual conception of the artwork: it is considered as a place of negotiation between human action, material and ideas. Thirdly, their materialistic and relational conception of the artwork is associated with a dynamic notion of form. These principals can be related to the speculative realist’s materialist and dynamic conception of the object. Focillon’s and Schapiro’s models may help to pave the way for an art theory that combines production and reception aesthetics, in understanding art as a never accomplished process of negotiation between the poles of artistic activity, material properties, society and the viewer.

Full textAbstract:
‘Cosmos in the head’ contains a criticism of the neuroconstructivist epistemology, according to which phenomenal reality is to be understood as an internal modelling of the outer world in the brain. As it turns out, the idealistic theory of representation is still the basis of this conception. The criticism emphasizes, in contrast, the enactive character of perception which is always connected with the engagement of the body in the world. In order to show that the subjective space of the lived body is not only virtual, its coextension with the space of the objective body or the entire organism is demonstrated. On this basis, the objectifying achievement of perception, which brings us into direct connection with the world by means of circular interactions, can be recognized. Finally, taking the example of colours, the claim of a mere virtuality of perceived qualities is rejected.

Abstract This chapter discusses contemporary revisions of phenomenology, including movements like enactivism. It explores Husserl’s expansion of the inner sphere of the Ego and his development of a lifeworld path and a psychological path—both of which were difficult to integrate into his idealistic, Cartesian logic. It argues that Freud would not have been able to remain with materialist mechanism alone, given his psychoanalytic work. The psychological dimension of his research posed new questions about affectivity, social existence, and empathy. The inside-outside quality of affectivity leads us to a contemporary debate about the ‘essence’ of consciousness, precisely as affectivity in the midbrain rather than perception, which is organized in the cortex. This new, critical conception of consciousness allows the chapter to propose three areas where a three-way conversation (neurology with psychoanalysis, phenomenology, computationalist neuroscience) could unfold.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 13 investigates Plutarch’s conception of the polis as a somatic, psychological, and moral entity, which recalls and elaborates the city/soul analogy in Plato’s Republic. It is argued that the tropes for the soul in Plutarch are not dominated by contemporary references to the Roman empire, but rather point to a timeless, palpably classical, polis fighting off the enemies from its gates. Such a ‘defensive’ turn of the city/soul analogy does not, however, make it any less valuable to Plutarch as a Platonically bent interpreter of the past and of the imperial present. The city/soul analogy helps to triangulate the three major ideological circuits of the Plutarchan macrotext: his sustained interest in human soul and character, his scrutiny of city-state politics from a perspective which is simultaneously pragmatic and idealistic, and his decision to explore both character and the polis with, and through, Plato.

This chapter examines the debate between Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger over the question “What is man?”—and thus, indirectly, the authentic meaning of Immanuel Kant's philosophy—and relates it to Pope Benedict XVI's views on the complex relationship between Christianity and Enlightenment culture. What was at stake in the Cassirer–Heidegger debate was the very existence of the Enlightenment and the legitimacy of its epistemological foundation. Cassirer accepted the need to redefine the relationship between the a priori and experience, in view of an idealistic conception of Kantian transcendentalism that was both more complex and problematic. His position remained firmly within the universalistic tradition of Enlightenment humanism. Heidegger, on the other hand, saw the Enlightenment as the final phase of the vilified trajectory of Western metaphysics that had resulted in the enthronement of man. The chapter also considers the Catholic Church's anti-Enlightenment positions.

This chapter examines the “Live Architecture” Exhibition, also known as the Lansbury Estate, of the 1951 Festival of Britain. Envisioned as part of a utopian scheme for the postwar reconstruction of London, the exhibition was an ongoing, collaborative project to rebuild an area of East London that had been razed during World War II. The chapter will reconceive the project in urban terms, questioning its previous interpretations and offering a new context for its significance that sees it as hopeful and idealistic. By the fifties, the modernist architecture culture that had been slow to settle in England was now firmly rooted, and “Live Architecture” offers a chance to fully evaluate international style modernism and town planning in the English context. The chapter will address the important urbanist Jaqueline Tyrwhitt’s work on the project, its connection to the CIAM 8 Congress and its publication The Heart of the City: Towards the Humanisation of Urban Life, and Sigfried Gideon’s conception of a New Monumentality for postwar architectural thinking.

Full textAbstract:
Despite his commitment to the thesis that the essence of the moral world is the same as the essence of nature, Schelling’s philosophy is fundamentally incompatible with naturalism as commonly conceived. He rejects the notion that freedom is nothing but a natural capacity, declaring “the highest goal” of his philosophical pursuit to be the “reduction of the laws of nature to mind, spirit, and will”. This paper explores Schelling’s idealistic conception of nature in Philosophie und Religion and the Freedom Essay by focusing on his reception of Kant’s idea of an “eternal choice” or “intelligible deed” at the root of personality and the way Schelling deploys that idea in developing a theory of time. He sees the natural order’s most basic features, e.g. its spatio-temporal self-externality and the existence of (externally) necessitating “laws of nature” as grounded in an essentially free and morally pertinent action on the part of the individual.
