Rethinking plasticity: Analysing the concept of “destructive plasticity” in the light of neuroscience definitions

Mostafa Seblani, Jean‐Michel Brezun, François Féron, Thierry Hoquet

European Journal of Neuroscience > 60 > 5 > 4798 - 4812

As a multilevel and multidisciplinary field, neuroscience is designed to interact with various branches of natural and applied sciences as well as with humanities and philosophy. The continental tradition in philosophy, particularly over the past 20 years, tended to establish strong connections with biology and neuroscience findings. This cross fertilization can however be impeded by conceptual intricacies,...

Detection of words versus good old counting: A note on Mizrahi and Dickinson, “The analytic‐continental divide in philosophical practice”

Hugo Dirk Hogenbirk

Metaphilosophy > 54 > 5 > 734 - 745

In a recent Metaphilosophy article, Moti Mizrahi and Michael Dickinson argue against characterizing the divide between analytical and continental philosophy as a divide in the use of arguments. This hypothesis is rejected on the basis of a text‐mining approach. The present paper argues that the results they extracted do not answer the questions they set out to answer as well as would have been possible...

Farewell to humanism? Considerations for nursing philosophy and research in posthuman times

Olga Petrovskaya

Nursing Philosophy > 24 > 3 > n/a - n/a

In this paper, I argue that critical posthumanism is a crucial tool in nursing philosophy and scholarship. Posthumanism entails a reconsideration of what ‘human’ is and a rejection of the whole tradition founding Western life in the 2500 years of our civilization as narrated in founding texts and embodied in governments, economic formations and everyday life. Through an overview of historical periods,...

UNTHEORIZING DISCOURSE

Karen S. Feldman

History and Theory > 61 > 3 > 506 - 513

A New Philosophy of Discourse: Language Unbound, by Joshua Kates, examines a range of philosophical, literary, and literary‐theoretical approaches in attempting to formulate a view of language sheerly as individual events. Kates considers works from philosophers including Martin Heidegger and Hans‐Georg Gadamer in the Continental tradition; Donald Davidson and W. V. O. Quine in the analytic tradition...

Beyond continental and African philosophies of personhood, healthcare and difference

Elvis Imafidon

Nursing Philosophy > 23 > 3 > n/a - n/a

In this study, I explore the challenges that ideological hegemonies of personhood imbibed by nurses and other healthcare workers could pose for the nursing profession, particularly in terms of inhibiting the acknowledgment of difference. Dominant or hegemonic conceptions of personhood in particular spaces often consist of self‐contained ideas and essentialist ontologies and normativity of what it...

Challenges of Climate Change from an Intercultural Perspective

Žilvinas Vareikis

Dialogue and Universalism > 2022 > 2 > 211-218

The paper proposes a comparative intercultural approach to the climate change. The author bases on the cases of Chinese Daoism and Norbert Bolz’s philosophy to present his personal general viewpoint. The today greatest challenge is the recovery after the Covid-19 pandemic by getting rid of the financial burden and by introducing individual economical solutions to each country as well as accepting...

Three candidates for first philosophy in Nietzsche’s Beyond good and evil 20–22

William Wood

ARGUMENT: Biannual Philosophical Journal > 2022 > 12 > 1 > 147-166

Friedrich Nietzsche is not generally regarded as a “first philosopher”, but rather as a radical critic of the traditional aspiration of philosophy to be a “master science”, in relation to which the other sciences are subordinate or dependent. In this respect, he seems to have had more in common with the logical positivists and post-structuralists who came after him than with the whole galaxy of “first...

Is There Still (if There Has Been At All) an Analytic–Continental Divide?

Franca d'Agostini

Edukacja Filozoficzna > 2022 > 74 > 9-36

In this paper I reconstruct the nature, origins and survivals of the divide between the “analytic” and “continental” traditions – a famous dualism which has affected the development of philosophy in the second half of the 20th century. I also present a theory of it, stressing that its intra-philosophical causes are to be found in the mutual resistance between critical (transcendental) and semantic...

The analytic‐continental divide in philosophical practice: An empirical study

Moti Mizrahi, Mike Dickinson

Metaphilosophy > 52 > 5 > 668 - 680

Philosophy is often divided into two traditions: analytic and continental philosophy. Characterizing the analytic‐continental divide, however, is no easy task. Some philosophers explain the divide in terms of the place of argument in these traditions. This raises the following questions: Is analytic philosophy rife with arguments while continental philosophy is devoid of arguments? Or can different...

The Two Cultures in Philosophy

Mikołaj Sławkowski-Rode

Eidos. A Journal for Philosophy of Culture > 2020 > 4 > 4

In this paper I revisit the debate concerning the distinction, which is sometimes made between “analytic” and “continental” philosophy. I look at the historical context in which the distinction came to prominence in the twentieth century, the reasons why it subsequently declined in popularity, and eventually had begun to be undermined. I argue that the distinction possesses intuitive content, which...

K SAMOTNÉMU DĚLENÍ ANALYTICKÉ VS. KONTINENTÁLNÍ FILOZOFIE

Karel Šebela

Filozofia (Philosophy) > 2021 > 76 > 7 > 521 – 530

The paper deals with the very idea of distinction between analytical and continental philosophy, so it is primarily methodological. The aim is to criticize this division. Criticism is conducted from the point of view of analytical philosophy. The arguments are of three kinds: a) factual – evidence from the history of contemporary philosophy, pointing to analytical philosophers working on the continent...

Fabricated Truths and the Pathos of Proximity: What Would be a Nietzschean Philosophy of Contemporary Technoscience?

Hub Zwart

Foundations of Science > 2019 > 24 > 3 > 457-482

In recent years, Nietzsche’s views on (natural) science attracted a considerable amount of scholarly attention. Overall, his attitude towards science tends to be one of suspicion, or ambivalence at least. My article addresses the “Nietzsche and science” theme from a slightly different perspective, raising a somewhat different type of question, more pragmatic if you like, namely: how to be a Nietzschean...

From the Hiatus Model to the Diffuse Discontinuities: A Turning Point in Human-Animal Studies

Carlo Brentari

Biosemiotics > 2018 > 11 > 3 > 331-345

In twentieth-century continental philosophy, German philosophical anthropology (Max Scheler, Helmuth Plessner, and Arnold Gehlen) can be seen as a sort of conceptual laboratory devoted to human/animal research, and, in particular, to the discontinuity between human and non-human animals. Its main notion—the idea of the special position of humans in nature—is one of the first philosophical attempts...

Review of phenomenology and the arts, ed. Peter R. Costello and Licia Carlson

Christine Rojcewicz

Continental Philosophy Review > 2018 > 51 > 2 > 289-294

Through an exploration of the arts, Phenomenology and the Arts traces the relationship between phenomenology qua historical movement and qua descriptive method. Serving as an artistic undertaking, the phenomenological method itself echoes its content when describing artistic matters such as painting, drama, literature, and music. After establishing the thematics and structure of the volume, contributors...

The Intersections of Translational Hermeneutics and Narrative Hermeneutics: The Foundational Considerations

The University of Bialystok, Mohammad Ali Kharmandar

Crossroads. A Journal of English Studies > 2018 > 20

The majority of translation theories remerging from the works of contemporary philosophers suffer from a lack of well-organized textual/semiotic analysis tools. Although such theories are specifically important because of their postulates, their incoherent methods normally make them difficult to be used or even sufficiently understood. Hermeneutic theories, however, have been re-visiting and re-constructing...

Changing Moods

Hagi Kenaan

Philosophia > 2017 > 45 > 4 > 1469-1479

We are all familiar with the fact that moods change. But, what is the significance of this familiar fact? Is change merely a factual characteristic of moods or can it also offer us a lens for gaining a deeper understanding of mood’s essence?. The essay’s starting point is Heidegger’s treatment of moods and their manner of changing. Heidegger, I show, is interested in our ordinary shifts in mood as...

Jonathan D. Teubner

Reviews in Religion & Theology > 24 > 4 > 633 - 642

This review essay discusses three recent books on, and two new translations of, Augustine's Confessions. Long appreciated for its stylistic beauty and existential profundity, the Confessions has recently become a resource for creative philosophical reflection in both the analytic and continental traditions. However, there has not been a recent theological treatment of the Confessions, a curious lacuna considering Augustine's importance for the history of Christian doctrine. This review probes three recent works – Paul Rigby's...

Brentano’s Methodology as a Path through the Divide: On Combining Phenomenological Descriptions and Logical Analysis

Tina Röck

Axiomathes > 2017 > 27 > 5 > 475-489

In this paper, I will describe how Brentano was able to integrate descriptive philosophy and logical analysis fruitfully by pointing out Brentano’s concept of philosophy as a rigorous science. First I will clarify how Brentano attempted to turn philosophy into a rigorous descriptive science by applying scientific methods to philosophical questions. After spelling out the implications of such a descriptive...

Gathering a few thoughts on ‘Neo‐Confucian epistemology and Chinese philosophy’

Pita King, Darrin Hodgetts

Asian Journal of Social Psychology > 20 > 2 > 161 - 165

In Neo‐Confucian Epistemology and Chinese Philosophy: Practical Postulates for Actioning Psychology as a Human Science, Professor Liu offers a critique of the Cartesian underpinnings of psychology as a natural science. Drawing on Chinese cultural postulates, Professor Liu offers a vision for a global psychology more orientated towards the morally centered person and which developed a culturally‐informed...

Skok do źródła. Powrót do początku w Przyczynkach do filozofii Martina Heideggera

Jacek Surzyn

Anthropos? > 2017 > 26 Podróż do źródła > 1-14

The presented text is an attempt to show Heidegger's conception of returning to the source as a jump - Ursprung. Heidegger presented this concept in his famous book by title Contributions to Philosophy. This book seems to be a breakthrough in his thinking, because it shows the way to being alone without the help of entity, it means, Heidegger in this book departs from the conception of fundamental...
