Synopsis Mediating Between the Humanities and the Sciences by : Andrew Fuyarchuk

Gadamer is alleged to have conflated knowledge with private languages, which in turn entails adopting anti-thetical attitudes toward inter-subjectively verifiable facts produced by the natural sciences. As a result of this influence, a cultural and institutional divide has developed between the humanities and the sciences at the university. In reply to this assessment of Gadamer's work, I argue that his philosophical hermeneutics includes a dialectical interplay between two modes of cognition and their corresponding dispositions; the auditory and visual that are typically employed in the humanities and sciences. There is on this basis justification in his hermeneutics for scientific explanations of phenomena. These explanations are undertaken with respect to that in which the universality of hermeneutics is said to consist by Gadamer, the inner word. Contrary to the belief that this "word" belongs to either a metaphysical or mental realm, I draw upon phenomenology and argue that it refers to an inner voice between speakers in the middle voice and is thus amenable to cognitive scientific and evolutionary explanations. While those explanations are developed in relation to contemporary fields of research, e.g., S. Mithen, M. Donald, E. Thompson, the relevance of Gadamer's dialectic of standpoints to natural science is argued for on the grounds that scientists either presuppose the said dialectic, or require it in order to resolve conundrums generated by their own systems, e.g., E. Wilson, E. Slingerland, B. Bergen, H. Helmholtz. The method employed in the dissertation to defend Gadamer's relevance to the question of mediating between the two departments of learning is thereby enacted in the interest of clarifying what the inner word is and how it functions to weave harmony between opposing sides of a question. Gadamer's hermeneutics is thus not responsible for a "post-modern" opposition to the natural sciences. In fact, hermeneutics includes a way of thinking about phenomena that relates different ways of understanding to one another insofar as the speakers are attuned to the inner voice in language.

Synopsis Mediating Order and Chaos by : Rodney Farnsworth

This literature-centered study offers an interdisciplinary approach to Romantic culture. If is pioneering in that it employs the complexity method of anthropology. Recent literary studies employ the complexity/chaos theory adapted from the natural sciences; however, here is presented for the first time a complexity method taken from the social/human sciences. This complexity method is useful in mediating not only contradictions within Romanticism, but the chaos of contemporary theories concerning it. One of the intensifying literary debates is that between the so-called “Greens” and “Reds,” naturalists and humanists. Mediating Order and Chaos not only traces the split between nature and man to Romantic Culture but finds there, too, a Spinozian vision of man and nature in unity – thereby denying any naturalist/humanist split. This volume is of interest for those who wish to see essays in the holistic approach to culture. Centering on hydraulics, hydrology, and meteorology, this study examines literature, painting, music, economics, and the rhetoric of science, philosophy, and politics, it therewith demonstrates how the water cycle was transformed into a cosmic metaphor that mediated, in the form of several complex adaptive systems, between the chaos of too much change and that of not enough.

Synopsis Foundations of Morality, Human Rights, and the Human Sciences by : Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka

The essays in this volume constitute a portion of the research program being carried out by the International Society for Phenomenology and the Human Sciences. Established as an affiliate society of the World Institute for Ad vanced Phenomenological Research and Learning in 1976, in Arezzo, Italy, by the president of the Institute, Dr Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, this particular society is devoted to an exploration of the relevance of phenomenological methods and insights for an understanding of the origins and goals of the specialised human sciences. The essays printed in the first part of the book were originally presented at the Second Congress of this society held at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, 12-14 July 1979. The second part of the volume consists of selected essays from the third convention (the Eleventh International Congress of Phenomenology of the World Phenomen ology Institute) held in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1981. With the third part of this book we pass into the "Human Rights" issue as treated by the World Phenomenology Institute at the Interamerican Philosophy Congress held in Tallahassee, Florida, also in 1981. The volume opens with a mono graph by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka on the foundations of ethics in the moral practice within the life-world and the social world shown as clearly distinct. The main ideas of this work had been presented by Tymieniecka as lead lectures to the three conferences giving them a tight research-project con sistency.

Synopsis An Envelope for Arts, Sciences, Politics and Us by : Valerie Deifel

Sealed in the book/envelope are a variety of thoughts, images, considerations, and theoretical references about the immediate and broader context of establishing an Art & Science class at the University of Applied Arts of Vienna. Two main sources of material are combined: first, contributions that document the development of the department; and second, contributions by invited guests and interesting positions that refer to a wider art/science field. The compiled materials reflect upon experimental investigations into the reality of production of systems, discourses, and institutional structures. The book contributes to the questions of how artistic and scientific methods and practices relate to each other, and how these relations can be enriched and transformed.
