Analytic Feminism Feminist philosophers argue that on many levels — from individual concepts such as reason or autonomy to entire fields such as philosophy of mind — philosophy has been distorted or limited by the absence of feminist influence. Feminist critiques may have been legitimate for some kinds of analytic philosophy, especially logical positivism, but because analytic philosophy has changed, the objections do not hold for most contemporary work. In some respects, there is. Recall the point with which this essay began: by naming themselves ‘analytic feminists’ these philosophers declare that feminism need not be postmodern and that analytic philosophy is not irredeemably male-biased. plato.stanford.edu /entries/femapproach-analytic

Hegel - History of Philosophy In this great epoch of the world's history, whose inmost essence is laid hold of in the philosophy of history, two nations only have played a part, the German and the French, and this in spite of their absolute opposition, or rather because they are so opposite. In the lectures of 1825-1826 and 1829-1830 Berkeley was passed over by Hegel; in both courses Hume follows directly after the Scottish and French philosophers, and thus comes immediately before Kant; in the course of 1825-1826 the French philosophy precedes the Scottish also. Hume is a sceptic; the Scottish philosophy opposes the scepticism of Hume, the French philosophy has in the "enlightenment" of Germany (by which expression is indicated that form of German philosophy which is not Wolffian metaphysics) an appendage of a feebler form. www.marxists.org /reference/archive/hegel/works/hp/hpconten.htm   (3113 words)

Ralph Dumain: Autodidact Project: Quotes: Marx & Engels on Skepticism & Praxis Materialism and the republic; the philosophy and politics of the ancient world, arose anew, and the French, the exponents of the ethos of antiquity within Christianity, assumed the historical initiative for a time. The culmination of science in the eighteenth century was materialism, the first system of natural philosophy and the consequence of this development of the natural sciences. In short, this scepticism is in practice exactly the same as French materialism, but in metaphysical theory it never advances beyond the inability of arriving at any definitive conclusion. www.autodidactproject.org /quote/marx-skeptic.html   (2988 words)

Hegel's History of Philosophy We pass onto the French philosophy; the relation it bears to metaphysics is this, that while man as a metaphysician stands to himself in the attitude of a layman or outsider, French philosophy does away with the lay or outside position in regard alike to politics, religion, and philosophy. It is this then that we shall have to make evident in the positive side of French philosophy. Two determinations found in all philosophy are the concretion of the Idea and the presence of the spirit in the same; my content must at the same time be something concrete, present. www.marxists.org /reference/archive/hegel/works/hp/hpfrench.htm   (2988 words)

Matsika argued that there were discernible links between Bantu philosophy and Ancient Egyptian thought and called on scholars to include this issue in their research agenda.

Feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Feminism as a philosophy and movement in the modern sense may be usefully dated to The Enlightenment with such thinkers as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the Marquis de Condorcet championing women's education. Thus, as with any ideology, political movement or philosophy, there is no single, universal form of feminism that represents all feminists. Feminism is a diverse, competing, and often opposing collection of social theories, political movements, and moral philosophies, largely motivated by or concerning the experiences of women. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Feminism   (6315 words)

Encyclopedia of Modern French Thought Because some recent French writers are notorious for the difficulty of their style, which is usually a way of trying to avoid easy assimilation in the dominant forms of understanding, contributors were asked to pay close attention to clarity of exposition. Though it is not possible to consider all the defining characteristics of modern French thought—the range of disciplines and themes is far too wide—there are several features that, though not universal, illustrate the unique significance of French thinkers. It will be of particular interest to those who study modern French life, ideas, and culture; but also, given the international significance of many French thinkers, to those interested in modern thought in general. www.routledge-ny.com /ref/modfrenchthought/preface.html   (6315 words)

Leiter Reports: A Group Blog (Jan. 23-May 31 2006): Analytic and Continental A related one, apropos of recent French philosophy, one that I think is apt, is expressed by Alain Badiou in his recent essay for the New Left Review, "The Adventure of French Philosophy". If analytic philosophy prohibits imagery except for rare special effect, and precludes letting the full import of a term (such as, perhaps, 'spontaneity') emerge gradually in the course of using it, as opposed to setting down a definition at the start, I do not care if I am not an analytic philosopher. Ultimately philosophy is an open game, that is assuming you are truly commited to seeing something general in the vague sets being identified, you have to admit that no single paper by an individual author could capture the thought of one philosopher let alone whole groups. leiterreports.typepad.com /blog/2005/11/analytic_and_co.html   (5786 words)

The Holy Family by Marx and Engels French materialism’s connection with Descartes and Locke and the opposition of eighteenth-century philosophy to seventeenth-century metaphysics are presented in detail in most recent French histories of philosophy. To quote a French writer, Pierre Bayle was “the last metaphysician in the sense of the seventeenth century and the first philosopher in the sense of the eighteenth century”. To the Critical history of French materialism we shall oppose a brief outline of its ordinary, mass-type history. www.marxists.org /archive/marx/works/1845/holy-family/ch06_3_d.htm   (3107 words)

Alexandre Kojève [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] It is possible to trace many connections within French philosophy that owe varying degrees of debt to Kojève, given that his distinctive reinterpretation of Hegel was key for the French reception of Hegel's thought. Enlightenment philosophy, the philosophy of Hegel's own time, is the latest and most sophisticated attempt to reconcile these divisions through reason alone, to freely find man's place amongst others and the universe as a whole. Perhaps the core of Hegel's philosophy is the idea that human history is the history of thought as it attempts to understand itself and its relation to its world. www.iep.utm.edu /k/kojeve.htm   (3107 words)

Authoring the Constitution: The Problem of Closure (Chapter 3) Teufelsdröckh becomes a prisoner of time and eighteenth-century mechanistic philosophy; the French people are prisoners of outworn feudal monarchy. The topos of impossible closure is reinforced throughout The French Revolution by the imagery of endless circling. Carlyle brilliantly expresses Victorian anxiety about the autophagic tendency of self-conscious philosophy in the image of the Irish saint who carries his head in his mouth: "Consider it well, Metaphysics is the attempt of the mind to rise above the mind; to environ and shut in, or as we say, comprehend the mind. www.victorianweb.org /authors/carlyle/vandenbossche/3g.html   (3107 words)

IJBS The early Telos was phenomenological and Lukácsian in orientation, with Critical Theory and Structuralism in its sights, and not without sensitivity to French political philosophy through Sartre, Lucien Goldmann and André Gorz, and the fallout of the French May of 1968, especially in reviews of work by Cohn-Bendit and Lefebvre. As an antidote to the tired analytic philosophy (retailed at bargain basement prices according to the editors), and stale positivism (preserved in the intellectual bogs of the 1950s), that were staples of philosophical and sociological academic training in the US and elsewhere at the time, the journal was born. The political theory journal Telos was founded in Buffalo at the State University of New York by Paul Piccone and a group of disgruntled graduate students (members of the Graduate Philosophy Association) in 1968. www.ubishops.ca /baudrillardstudies/vol1_2/poster.htm   (1932 words)

Psych 601 Unit 4 Materialism and Consciousness Descartes, as the father of modern philosophy, was also the father of modern physiology for his investigations of and theories about the material side of the human organism. We have seen how both British empiricism and French materialism conceived of the mind in materialistic terms, meaning that the mind has material origins since coming from sense data. Although Hume demolished religion and morals, critics blame Locke as the one who produced the resulting materialism, partly because Locke's philosophy was of a passive mind built upon sense impressions. online.sfsu.edu /~psych601/unit4/641.htm   (4051 words)

LANGUAGE, CULTURE, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY Even where there seems to exist so much mutual linguistic assimilation as in English and French, we still run the danger of presenting a facade for a fact, for there is little symmetry between French and English philosophy. “Philosophy” as a concept is no exception, as it is not unusual to expect that there would be variations in Makinde’s conception of philosophy and my conception of philosophy. In this regard, it is very difficult to conjecture that any African linguist will accept the assertion by Makinde that, “Hence, the poverty of African languages has led to the poverty of scientific ideas and meaningful contributions to the development of philosophy, science and technology”. www.africaresource.com /afphil/vol1.1/bewaji.html   (511 words)

Age of Enlightenment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The French Revolution, in particular, represented the Enlightenment philosophy through a violent and messianic lens, particularly during the brief period of Jacobin dictatorship. On the one hand, religious philosophy focused on the importance of piety, and the majesty and mystery of God's ultimate nature; on the other hand, ideas such as Deism stressed that the world was accessible to the faculty of human reason, and that the "laws" which governed its behavior were understandable. It was built on the growing natural philosophy that espoused the application of algebra to the study of nature, and the discoveries brought about by the invention of the microscope and the telescope. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment   (4740 words)

Philosophy in the Bedroom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Philosophy in the Bedroom (La Philosophie Dans le Boudoir) is a play written by the Marquis de Sade in 1795 in the aftermath of the French Revolution.

There is a lengthy section within the fifth dialogue titled "Yet Another Effort, Frenchmen, If You Would Become Republicans" in which it is argued that, having done away with the monarchy in the French Revolution, the people of France should take the final step towards liberty by abolishing religion too. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Philosophy_in_the_Bedroom   (1028 words)
