Studia Phaenomenologica vol. IX/2009: Michel Henry's Radical Phenomenology

by Studia Phaenomenologica

Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to announce you the publication of the new volume of "Studia Phaenomenologica". This volume, dedicated to the philosophy of Michel Henry, is coordinated by Jad Hatem and Rolf Kuehn. Please visit: www.studia-phaenomenologica.com Kind regards, Cristian Ciocan Michel Henry's Radical Phenomenology Studia Phaenomenologica vol. IX/2009 <http://www.studia-phaenomenologica.com/index.php?page=issue&id=9> *Journal Editor:* Cristian Ciocan *Guest Editors:* Rolf Kühn & Jad Hatem *Size:* 17cm*24cm / 550 pages *ISSN:* 1582-5647 / *ISBN:* 978-973-50-2553-3 Paperback Individuals: 35 EUR Paperback Institutions: 50 EUR eBook Individuals: 20 EUR eBook Institutions: 200 EUR TABLE OF CONTENTS Jad Hatem & Rolf Kühn, /Introduction/ DOCUMENTS Michel Henry, /Destruction ontologique de la critique kantienne du paralogisme de la psychologie rationnelle/ Michel Henry, /Lettre à Bernard Forthomme/ *Abstract*: Cher Monsieur, Votre lettre, dont l'adresse était incomplete, m'est parvenue tardivement. Pardonnez-moi donc de vous répondre seulement aujourd'hui... I. RADICAL PHENOMENOLOGY AND FIRST PHILOSOPHY Julia Scheidegger, /Michel Henrys Lebensphänomenologie als Hermeneutikkritik/ José Ruiz Fernández, /Logos and Immanence in Michel Henry’s Phenomenology/ Jeffrey Hanson, /Michel Henry’s Critique of the Limits of Intuition/ Benoît Ghislain Kanabus, /Vie absolue et Archi-Soi: Naissance de la proto-relationnalité/ Antoine Vidalin, /L’acte humain dans la phénoménologie de la vie/ *Abstract*: The question of action or praxis has not been treated in particular by Michel Henry in his works. However, this subject is present at each step of his reflexion. This article makes a synthesis on this matter, taking into account all of his works, especially the last books on Christianity (which, in our view, fulfill the phenomenology of life). Having determined the immanent dialectic of action (from the gift of the power in the generation and the in-carnation of the First Living), we can understand, following Michel Henry, the ethics of Life as the Commandment of Love. From such a perspective, the sin and the salvation can be reconnected to the native relation of the living with the Life. II. CONFRONTATIONS Christoph Moonen, /Touching from a Distance: In Search of the Self in Henry and Kierkegaard/ Camille Riquier, /Henry, Bergson et la phénoménologie matérielle/ Raphaël Gély, /L’imaginaire et l’affectivité originaire de la perception: Une lecture henrienne du débat entre Sartre et Merleau-Ponty/ Niall Keane, /Why Henry’s Critique of Heidegger Remains Problematic: Appearing and Speaking in Heidegger and Henry/ Rolf Kühn, /„Wiederholung“ als Habitualität und Potentialität: Michel Henry und Gilles Deleuze/ Sébastien Laoureux, /Material phenomenology to the test of Deconstruction: Michel Henry and Derrida/ *Abstract*: What would be the result of reading Derrida from the standpoint of material phenomenology? And what would be the result of reading material phenomenology on the basis of the requirements of Derridean thought? These are the questions that this article endeavours to tackle by focusing on the two philosophers' readings of Husserl's Lectures on the Consciousness of Internal Time. At first strangely similar, these two readings soon display marked differences. Whereas Derrida, in his approach, is keen to demonstrate that there is never any pure presence, Michel Henry brings out an "Archi-presence" which he attempts to safeguard from any deconstruction. So perhaps material phenomenology functions as "quasi-deconstruction", having the same relationship with Derridean thought as "negative theology" has with deconstruction. III. AESTHETICS AND RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY Jad Hatem, /L’art comme phénoménologie de la subjectivité absolue: Henry et Balzac/ Ruud Welten, /What do we hear when we hear music? A radical phenomenology of music/ Jean Reaidy, /La connaissance absolue et l’essence de la vérité chez Maître Eckhart et Michel Henry/ Jean Leclercq, /La provenance de la chair: Le souci henryen de la contingence/ Ovidiu-Sorin Podar, /La vie en tant que Vie: Lecture théologique d’une tautologie, entre Michel Henry et saint Maxime le Confesseur/ *Abstract*: The phenomenological tautology of life in Michel Henry's works shows us that the radical concept of self-affection, in its own immanence, cannot be described in another way, either by metaphor or analogy for example, but only by that immediate relation like adequacy on itself: "life as life". The reduplication of the fundamental concept in Henry's last "theological" turn introduced a new Transcendence: the Self-Affection of the Absolute Life, the Christian God as Revelation. In this way, we can diversify the tautology of life trying to read it using Saint Maximus the Confessor's theology: "Life as Life" like the Absolute phenomenological Life of Trinity in Unity; "life as Life" for the creation of the human living by the Living God; "life as life" for the existence of the man, ek-sisting in a world affected by the original transgression; "Life as life" for the Incarnation of the Logos of God; "life as Life-2" for the rebirth of the human living into Christ and His Mystical Body. IV. HUMAN SCIENCES AND POLITICS Marc Maesschalck & Benoît Ghislain Kanabus, /Pour un point de vue d’immanence en sciences humaines/ Frédéric Seyler, /Michel Henry et la critique du politique/ Michael Staudigl, /Die Hypostase des Politischen und das Prinzip des Faschismus: Zur Kritik des Politischen nach Michel Henry/ Eric Faÿ, /Organisation virtuelle, travail réel: Une critique henryenne de l’organisation virtuelle du travail humain/ *Abstract*: This article presents a phenomenological perspective on the "virtual organisation" where people are obliged to work at a distance and where contact with others is limited to that of an electronic network. Drawing on Husserl, we see that when the "as-if" presence is contrived in such a way, the organisation obstructs the life of consciousness. Furthermore, relying on Michel Henry's writings, we explain how removing the parameter of "flesh" as a factor structuring encounters, this organizational form profoundly restricts the dynamism of the acting, subjective life. VARIA Jean-Yves Lacoste, /L’objet: constitution et réduction/ Fausto Fraisopi, /Expérience et horizon chez Husserl: Contextualité et synthèse à partir du concept de « représentation vide »/ Christian Ferencz-Flatz, /The Neutrality of Images and Husserlian Aesthetics/ Dimitri Ginev, /Interpretative Erschlossenheit der endlichen Existenz und mathematische Unendlichkeit. //Zu Oskar Beckers Phänomenologie des Transfiniten/ *Abstract*: The paper attempts to elucidate and evaluate Oskar Becker's search for a complementarity between the paradigm of constitutional analysis put forward by Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology and constructivism as a meta-mathematical position suggesting criteria for existence of the mathematical objects. At stake is the issue of the possibility of an existential analytic of "the mathematical". In this regard, a special attention is paid to the temporality of "mathematical existence". The paper invites new forms of a dialogue between phenomenology and philosophy of mathematics. REVIEW ARTICLE Enrico Vicinelli Polucci, /Henry-Studien in Italien/ *Abstract: *C.

Cognitive Penetration of Colour Experience: Rethinking the Issue in Light of an Indirect Mechanism

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Fiona Macpherson (University of Glasgow)) on Cognitive Penetration of Colour Experience: Rethinking the Issue in Light of an Indirect Mechanism Tuesday, 24 November 2009, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Can the phenomenal character of perceptual experience be altered by the states of one’s cognitive system, for example, one’s thoughts or beliefs? If one thinks that this can happen (at least in certain ways that are identified in the paper) then one thinks that there can be cognitive penetration of perceptual experience; otherwise, one thinks that perceptual experience is cognitively impenetrable. I claim that there is one alleged case of cognitive penetration that cannot be explained away by the standard strategies one can typically use to explain away alleged cases. The case is one in which it seems subjects’ beliefs about the typical colour of objects affects their colour experience. I propose a two-step mechanism of indirect cognitive penetration that explains how cognitive penetration may occur. I show that there is independent evidence that each step in this process can occur. I suspect that people who are opposed to the idea that perceptual experience is cognitively penetrable will be less opposed to the idea when they come to consider this indirect mechanism and that those who are generally sympathetic to the idea of cognitive penetrability will welcome the elucidation of this plausible mechanism.

summer course, 2010: Meaning, Context, Intention

by Zvolenszky Zsofia

Dear Colleagues, We'd like to call your attention to CEU's upcoming summer course "MEANING, CONTEXT, INTENTION". Also, we would greatly appreciate your help in promoting the course among your colleagues, your graduate students, or any interested researchers. We'd be grateful if you could forward the information below to those potentially interested in our summer school (individuals, listservs, blogs, electronic journals, etc.) and/or have a short announcement placed on a relevant web site. Thank you in advance, yours sincerely, Zsófia Zvolenszky ---------------------------------------------------------- "MEANING, CONTEXT, INTENTION" Course dates: JULY 19-30, 2010 Location: Central European University (CEU), Budapest, Hungary, Detailed course description: http://www.summer.ceu.hu/meaning Tuition fee: EUR 550. Financial aid is available. Application deadline: February 15, 2010 Online application (from late November): http://www.sun.ceu.hu/03-application/howto_apply.php Course directors: * Zsofia Zvolenszky, Eötvös University (ELTE), Institute of Philosophy, Budapest, Hungary; * Jason Stanley, Rutgers, Philosophy Department, New Brunswick, USA; Jason Stanley, Zsófia Zvolenszky Faculty: * Ray Buchanan, University of Texas, Philosophy Department, Austin, USA * Herman Cappelen, University of St Andrews, Department of Philosophy, UK * Wayne A. Davis, Georgetown University, Philosophy Department, Washington DC, USA * Katalin Farkas, Central European University, Philosophy Department * Ernest Lepore, Rutgers University, Center for Cognitive Science, Rutgers University, New Brunswick US * Stephen Neale, CUNY Graduate Center, New York, USA * Adam Sennet, University of California, Davis, Department of Philosophy, USA * Zoltan Gendler Szabo, Yale University, Department of Philosophy, USA What we express, communicate by uttering a sentence varies with the context of utterance. What is the role of semantics in bringing this about? According to one simple model, a semantic theory assigns to sentences relative to contexts what would be expressed by those sentences in normal assertive utterances, by assigning values to the meaningful parts of the sentences in those contexts and combining them via a recursive process. According to another, radically different model, the meanings of words are rules that constrain the use of expressions, but there is no notion of what is said by a sentence (as opposed to the person) that matches the speaker's communicative intentions, and that plays a fundamental role in the account of communication. There are many versions of each of these views of linguistic communication. How we think about language is determined by which we adopt. The purpose of this course is to bring together leading researchers who have formed the debate, together with some younger researchers with new approaches. This summer school invites applications from junior faculty and doctoral students at philosophy and linguistics departments. Minimum background required: philosophy of language at the advanced undergraduate level. Participants should ideally bring some work in progress related to the course theme for discussion during the course.

Reminder: CDC seminar on WEDNESDAY

by Agnes Kovacs

The next talk in the Cognitive Development Center seminar series at the CEU will be given by Zsuzsa Kaldy Associate Professor UMass Boston http://psych.umb.edu/faculty/kaldy/ Title: Apples and oranges: How to solve the problem of visual salience in infant studies Date and time: Wednesday, 11 Nov 2009, 5.00 pm CEU Cognitive Development Center Hattyuhaz, Level 3, Hattyu u. 14., 1015 Budapest Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1015+Budapest,+Budapest,+Hattyu+utca+14,+Hung… Everyone is welcome to attend. Our seminars start on time and we may not be able to let latecomers in. Abstract: What kind of featural information do infants rely on when they are trying to recognize a previously seen object? The question of whether infants use certain features (e .g. shape or color) more than others (e. g. luminance), can only be studied legitimately if visual salience is controlled, since the magnitude of feature values – how noticeable and interesting they are – will affect results. We employed a novel methodology that allowed us to quantify salience changes along shape, luminance and color feature dimensions. We then compared infants’ identification of objects, employing feature changes that were equally salient and found that infants more readily identify objects on the basis of color and shape than luminance. Our method can be easily adapted to different experimental paradigms (for example, visual search) and have the potential to have a considerable impact on the field of infant cognition.
