Kierkegaard’s Concept of the Self (and the Debt of Heidegger and Sartre)
SUSŢINUTĂ DE
Sheridan Hough
Professor of Philosophy
Department of Philosophy
College of Charleston (USA)
Kierkegaard’s complex account of how a human self is forged creates an ontology full of existential and phenomenological possibilities. I will explain Kierkegaard’s notion of selfhood, and examine his claim that a self is created through a passionate commitment to a vocation (and how this constitutes the ‘life of faith.’) Heidegger and Sartre owe much to this conceptual scheme, and I will explore some of the ways in which Kierkegaard remains a lively presence in their work.

The Ineliminable Character of Reflexive Awareness: What is at Stake in Contemporary Debates?
SUSŢINUTĂ DE
Christian Coseru
Associate Professor of Philosophy
Department of Philosophy
College of Charleston (USA)
“Every consciousness upon whatever object it is primarily directed, is constantly directed upon itself,” wrote Franz Brentano in 1874 in his seminal work, Psychology From an Empirical Standpoint. This assertion of the unity of consciousness as reflexive awareness, which finds its roots in Aristotle, has been both criticized and vigorously defended by contemporary philosophers working in the interdisciplinary field of Consciousness Studies. In this presentation, I first consider various alternatives to the reflexivist theory of consciousness, specifically higher-order, representationalist, token-physicalist, and dualist theories. I then review evidence from embodied cognitive science that highlights various problems these latter theories face in accounting for the character of consciousness. Finally, I entertain the question whether this sort of evidence provides sufficient ground for claiming that something like a pre-reflective self-awareness is prior to the types of consciousness that presuppose conceptual and narrative competence.

În ultimii ani, experimentul, metodele experimentale și practicile empirice din perioada modernă timpurie au primit o atenție sporită din partea comunității academice. Pe de o parte, istoriile tradiționale ale științei și ale filosofiei s-au văzut confruntate cu o gamă mai largă de exemple care nu se încadrau în categoriile deja existente (e.g., diverse practici observaționale și moduri de raportare a experimentelor). Pe de altă parte, categoriile respective au fost criticate pentru limitarea posibilităților explicative (e.g., înțelegerea experimentului într-un sens specific sec. XVIII-XIX). Aceste probleme au arătat necesitatea re-evaluării și a reformării concepțiilor noastre tradiționale cu privire la practica experimentală.
Prin organizarea workshopului Experimente și arte ale descoperirii în perioada modernă timpurie, intenționăm să punem împreună cercetători care studiază felul în care experimentul este tematizat în diferitele domenii ale gândirii secolelor XVI-XVII (e.g., filosofia naturală, istoriile naturale, matematicile mixte, medicina, filosofia morală, teologia etc.). Principalele puncte de interes în cadrul acestui workshop sunt: (a) valoarea creativă a experimentelor din perioada modernă timpurie; (b) folosirea experimentului și a „analogiilor”; (c) forme de experimentare cu pronunțat caracter metodologic.
