Denken der Individualität

Más información sobre el libro

This work explores the themes of individuality, personality, and self-awareness through a systematic lens, offering various definitions and perspectives. It delves into the identification of the individual within a world of contingency, examining concepts such as the stages of personal identity and the duality of the self. Contributions analyze the essence of individuality in thought, the relationship between psychological familiarity and self-attribution, and the poetic expression of individuality. The historical context of individuality is also addressed, with discussions on doubt, method, and truth in Descartes' philosophy, the early Romantic conception of individuality, and Kant's journey toward the transcendental unity of self-awareness. The text further explores the late Schelling's views on art, Hegel's religious philosophy regarding the positivity of Christianity, and Tocqueville's insights on modern individualism's political implications. Ethics and hermeneutics are examined, focusing on the relationship between ethics and theology, the negativity of understanding, and the role of distance and self-reflection in hermeneutics. The work also touches on sign philosophy, ontology, and ethics, alongside reflections on meaning in Wittgenstein's later philosophy and the function of imagination in perception and representation.
