Teodors Celms, Kurt Stavenhagen and Phenomenology in Latvia
2002
The origin of phenomenology in Latvia is connected with the name of Teodors Celms (1893–1989), a student of Edmund Husserl and a philosopher of the first generation of interpreters and critics within the phenomenological movement.
Phenomenological Ideas in Latvia: Kurt Stavenhagen and Theodor Celms on Husserl’s Transcendental Phenomenology
2000
It is commonly known that after the publication of Husserl’s Logical Investigations a great number of students from different countries came to Gottingen and, after 1916, to Freiburg to study phenomenology with Husserl. Among them were students from the Baltic states. The best-known of them, Avon Gurwitsch and Emmanuel Levinas, left their native country Lithuania to study and never came back. Their subsequent philosophical careers were connected with the United States and France, respectively. Quite different is the case of Husserl’s students from Latvia. Unlike E. Levinas and A. Gurwitsch, all of them returned to Latvia after their studies in Gottingen and Freiburg. Therefore it is possibl…
Why Is Mind-Wandering Interesting for Philosophers?
2018
This chapter explores points of contact between philosophy of mind and scientific approaches to spontaneous thought. While offering a series of conceptual instruments that might prove helpful for researchers on the empirical research frontier, it begins by asking what the explanandum for theories of mind-wandering is, how one can conceptually individuate single occurrences of this specific target phenomenon, and how one might arrive at a more fine-grained taxonomy. The second half of this contribution sketches some positive proposals as to how one might understand mind-wandering on a conceptual level, namely, as a loss of mental autonomy resulting in involuntary mental behavior, as a highly…
El yo ejecutivo o la afirmación de lo biográfico
2017
La idea de «naturaleza humana» que Ortega y Gasset defiende es tan novedosa como opuesta a lo que habitualmente se entiende. Estamos en un error si el punto de partida es concebir al hombre como un ser vivo entre otros. Ni la ciencia ni la filosofía, mientras se mantenga en la tradición eleática, pueden dar una explicación clara. La ciencia, porque si contemplamos al hombre, tal y como se nos presenta, es imposible distinguir en él lo material de lo espiritual, su cuerpo y su psique. La filosofía, porque el concepto de «naturaleza humana» es una invención de nuestra razón, una fantasía. No existe tal naturaleza porque el ser del hombre es de tal modo extraño y diferente al resto de seres qu…

Gordon Kaufman's Perspectival Language
1978
In the two decades following the publication of New Essays in Philosophical Theology, a metatheological awareness has been steadily developing among systematic theologians. Gordon Kaufman is one of those theologians prepared to face the rather embarrassing question as to whether sentences containing the word ‘God’ provide information about a transcendent reality called ‘God’. Kaufman has, indeed, always seen the need for a constructive relationship between theology and philosophy, a relationship in which both philosophy and theology retain their respective autonomous standpoints. In arguing for an historically orientated philosophy, he claimed that here one would treat what is concrete and …
The Nature of the ‘I Think’: Comments on Chapter 11 of Kant's Thinker
2014
AbstractThe article deals with Kant's theory of the self in Patricia Kitcher's Kant's Thinker in three respects: (1) I argue that it is doubtful whether accompanying representations with the ‘I think’ as such yields a principle for the categories since it does not require any strong kind of connection between them. (2) I discuss textual evidence for and against Kitcher's attempt to make sense of Kant's claim that the ‘I think’ requires the continued existence of cognizers per se. (3) I ask whether Kitcher's understanding of Kant's positive theory of the self leans towards minimal substantialism or towards functionalism.
La phénoménologie face à la philosophie traditionnelle.
2011
Phenomenology was born as an attack against the false constructions of traditional philosophy. Nevenheless, it soon discovered that it had an important bond to Plato's, Descartes' or Kant's philosophical systems. As I show in this paper, both in Heidegger and in Husserl's last writings, the philosophical endeavor is interpreted as a retrieval of earlier philosophical intentions. However, this does not lead them to a common interpretation of the meaning of philosophy's history.
