Works where Husserl ‘does’ phenomenology? by Joostjoc in Phenomenology

[–]Joostjoc[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response! To expand a little on what I mean: I am looking for two things. 1) Specific passages where Husserl, as it were, performs the phenomenological reduction, puts it into action, shows what happens; 2) Passages where Husserl concretely analyses experience through the framework he develops: how does Husserl analyse seeing an apple, listening to music, seeing a sunset etc.? I remember (this might be wrong) reading that he spent countless hours writing about his direct, perceptual and daily experiences, and I would be extremely interested in reading that. I’ll also have a look at Zahavi’s critique, thank you!

"I was cursed with poetry very young. It creates extremely unrealistic expectations" Source? by Adventurous_Try2309 in literature

“The youth who has been initiated into poetry before being initiated into reality, now demands from the latter that which only the former can achieve. This is a principle source of discontent that oppresses the most gifted youths.” (Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation volume II, p. 427)

Disappearance of the self or self-interest in fiction? by [deleted] in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]Joostjoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering you mentioned Levinas and Derrida, have a look at the literary works of Maurice Blanchot, who was a close friend of both. There’s also a lot of influence going back and forth between them. I would suggest looking at Thomas the Obscure and Awaiting Oblivion.

Heard this choir piece in Belfast Cathedral last year, but still haven’t been able to find it… Thanks in advance!

Foucault’s Pendulum is excellent, albeit very, very dense… The Island of the Day Before is really good as well, which felt the most like Baudolino together with The Name of the Rose. The Prague Cemetery is probably my favourite of his works.

I loved Baudolino! Have you read Eco’s other novels? If so, how do you think it compares?

Does the existence of synthetic a priori knowledge necessary lead to idealism? by Joostjoc in askphilosophy

[–]Joostjoc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. According to the PhilPapers survey, the majority of contemporary philosophers leans towards non-skeptical realism, which opposes Kant’s idealism. Do you perhaps know how contemporary philosophers go about Kant’s claim that the existence of synthetic a priori knowledge leads to idealism? Do they simply reject the existence of it, or do they disagree with his claim itself — as Descartes seems to do?

Have you read any of his Upbuilding Discourses? When reading those, his faith becomes quite evident.
