The New Yearbook for Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy (2015)
Invites submissions on the following topic:
Edmund Husserl between Platonism and Aristotelianism
Guest Editors:
Daniele De Santis, Emiliano Trizio
Edmund Husserl is known to have devoted little effort to the study of the classics of Western philosophy, with the possible exception of the writings of a few modern thinkers. This was due partly to his academic trajectory, which began with the study of mathematics and encountered philosophy through psychology, partly to the nature of the phenomenological project itself, as the attempt to lay the foundations of a philosophy capable of defining its terminology on the basis of a purely intuitive procedure. Yet, Husserlian phenomenology is rooted in the tradition of Western philosophy and Husserl saw it as the fulfillment of the tradition initiated by Plato.
Although references to Aristotle are less frequent, one should not overlook the fact that issues such as the status of “categories” as well as the description of “intentionality” hark back to the Aritotelian tradition of thought.
We welcome submissions on any aspects of the relations between Husserl and the traditions of Platonism and Aristotelianism. These include, but are not limited to: the notions of eidos, Idea and category, ethics, teleology and Europe, skepticism, logic and the principle of non-contradiction, intentionality, analogy and abstraction, formal and material ontology.
The articles cannot be longer than 75.000 characters, including spaces and footnotes. The papers should be prepared for blind review and submitted by 30 October, 2014 to:
