John McDowell ist einer der einflussreichsten Philosophen der Gegenwart. Wenige philosophische Werke der letzten dreißig Jahre haben eine derart breite und weltweit geführte Diskussion ausgelöst wie seine John-Locke-Lectures, die 1994 unter dem Titel Mind and World veröffentlicht wurden. Zudem ist McDowell als Autor einer Vielzahl von Aufsätzen bekannt, die in den jeweiligen Themengebieten als Klassiker gelten. In diesem Buch wird die Philosophie John McDowells zum ersten Mal in deutscher Sprache in Form eines Handbuchs umfassend dargelegt. Die einzelnen Beiträge gehen hierbei über die bloße Einführung hinaus und zeichnen auf der Höhe der gegenwärtigen Forschung die intensive Debatte um McDowells Werk nach, das dabei zugleich einer kritischen Prüfung unterzogen wird. Das Handbuch ist in drei Teile untergliedert: Der erste Teil umfasst acht Beiträge, die sich den Kernthemen von McDowells Philosophie zuwenden. Teil zwei widmet sich in fünf Kapiteln McDowells Anschlüssen an die Philosophen Aristoteles, Kant, Frege, Wittgenstein und Davidson. Schließlich wird McDowells Denken im dritten Teil in die Traditionen der hermeneutischen, der phänomenologischen und der klassischen deutschen Philosophie eingeordnet und aus deren Perspektiven auf Anschlussmöglichkeiten hin untersucht.

"This volume explores the connections between John McDowell's philosophy and the hermeneutic tradition. The contributions not only explore the hermeneutical aspects of McDowell's thought, but also asks how this reading of McDowell can inform the hermeneutical tradition itself. John McDowell has made important contributions to debates in epistemology, metaethics and philosophy of language, and his readings of Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, and Wittgenstein have proved widely influential. While there are instances in which McDowell draws upon the work of hermeneutic thinkers, the hermeneutic strand of McDowell's philosophy has not yet been systematically explored in-depth. The chapters in this volume open up a space in which to read McDowell himself as a hermeneutic thinker. They address several research questions including: How can McDowell's recourse to the hermeneutical tradition be understood in detail? Besides Gadamer, does McDowell's work implicitly convey and advance motives from other seminal figures of this tradition, such as Heidegger and Dilthey? Are there aspects of McDowell's position that can be enhanced through a juxtaposition with central hermeneutic concepts like World, Tradition and Understanding? Are there further, perhaps yet unexplored aspects of McDowell's influences that ought to be interpreted as expressing hermeneutic ideas? McDowell and the Hermeneutic Tradition will appeal to researchers and advanced students working in American philosophy, Continental philosophy, hermeneutics, history of philosophy, philosophy of language, and epistemology"--

"In The Formation of Reason, David Bakhurst expounds and defends a socio-historical account of the human mind. Inspired by the work of the influential philosopher John McDowell, Bakhurst maintains that the distinctive character of human psychological powers resides in our responsiveness to reasons, a capacity that develops in children as they are initiated into traditions of thinking and reasoning. In this process of formation (or Bildung), children enter 'the space of reasons' to become rational agents in self-conscious control of their thoughts and actions. In addition to exploring McDowell's ideas, Bakhurst draws on a variety of thinkers - including Davidson, Hacking, Ilyenkov, Strawson, Vygotsky, Wiggins, and Wittgenstein - to illuminate questions of personhood, identity, learning, rationality, and freedom. Offering an intellectually stimulating exploration of the conceptual foundations of the philosophy of education, The Formation of Reason breathes fresh life into a familiar but controversial idea: that the end of education is the cultivation of autonomy"--
