Abstract

Malgré des appels explicites à Descartes dans la phénoménologie telle que Husserl l'a conçue, on ne peut pas dire qu'y soient réellement prises en compte la problématique du doute hyperbolique, et encore moins ce qui va de pair avec cette dernière, la problématique du Malin Génie. Tout au plus y rencontre-t-on l'" hypothèse" de la "destruction du monde" et la question de la négation n'y est traitée que de façon assez triviale. Avec la question de l'épochè phénoménologique hyperbolique, cet ouvrage s'efforce de montrer un certain nombre de conséquences cruciales que la mise en jeu de l'hyperbole introduit dans l'architectonique interne de la phénoménologie: questions de l'intentionnalité, du langage, du simulacre originaire, de l'apparence pure, etc. Non par retour au scepticisme classique, mais par ouverture d'un nouveau "scepticisme critique" qui n'exclut pas, nais réimplique autrement l'analyse phénoménologique, par-delà l'intentionnalité, toute doxa positionnelle (perception, intuition) ou quasi-positionnelle (imagination) étant mise en suspens. Le champ ainsi dégagé, fait de mobilités et d'instabilités, qui est désigné ici comme archaïque, est la base phénoménologique, et non pas le fondement du champ fort rigoureusement étudié par Husserl. La phénoménologique ne peut plus dès lors prétendre au titre de science, mais est amenée à s'exercer comme une sorte d'art philosophique, plus proche de la poésie et de la musique, où sont en jeu les profondeurs de notre vie dont le vécu husserlien n'est pour ainsi dire que la surface immédiatement perceptible, le plus souvent illusionnante.

Abstract

Aboutness has been studied from any number of angles. Brentano made it the defining feature of the mental. Phenomenologists try to pin down the aboutness-features of particular mental states. Materialists sometimes claim to have grounded aboutness in natural regularities. Attempts have even been made, in library science and information theory, to operationalize the notion. But it has played no real role in philosophical semantics. This is surprising; sentences have aboutness-properties if anything does. Aboutness is the first book to examine through a philosophical lens the role of subject matter in meaning. A long-standing tradition sees meaning as truth-conditions, to be specified by listing the scenarios in which a sentence is true. Nothing is said about the principle of selection--about what in a scenario gets it onto the list. Subject matter is the missing link here. A sentence is true because of how matters stand where its subject matter is concerned. Stephen Yablo maintains that this is not just a feature of subject matter, but its essence. One indicates what a sentence is about by mapping out logical space according to its changing ways of being true or false. The notion of content that results--directed content--is brought to bear on a range of philosophical topics, including ontology, verisimilitude, knowledge, loose talk, assertive content, and philosophical methodology. Written by one of today's leading philosophers, Aboutness represents a major advance in semantics and the philosophy of language.

Abstract

The impact of technology-enhanced mass death in the twentieth century, argues Zachary Braiterman, has profoundly affected the future shape of religious thought. In his provocative book, the author shows how key Jewish theologians faced the memory of Auschwitz by rejecting traditional theodicy, abandoning any attempt to justify and vindicate the relationship between God and catastrophic suffering. The author terms this rejection "Antitheodicy," the refusal to accept that relationship. It finds voice in the writings of three particular theologians: Richard Rubenstein, Eliezer Berkovits, and Emil Fackenheim. This book is the first to bring postmodern philosophical and literary approaches into conversation with post-Holocaust Jewish thought. Drawing on the work of Mieke Bal, Harold Bloom, Jacques Derrida, Umberto Eco, Michel Foucault, and others, Braiterman assesses how Jewish intellectuals reinterpret Bible and Midrash to re-create religious thought for the age after Auschwitz. In this process, he provides a model for reconstructing Jewish life and philosophy in the wake of the Holocaust. His work contributes to the postmodern turn in contemporary Jewish studies and today's creative theology.

Abstract

Arguing that the comic is a quality of literary works of art in other forms as well as comedy, George McFadden finds its essence in the maintenance of some literary feature--a situation, a character--as itself despite threats to alter it.Originally published in 1982.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

Through a study of the actress' films, records and writings, Gerda Taranow reconstructs the rigorously developed artistry that lay behind the superb performances. Analyzing each histrionic element and discussing repertoire she shows how Bernhardt adapted the techniques learned at the Conservatoire and in the theatre to her own particular strengths and limitations.Originally published in 1972.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
