- Subject of the seminar
- Hannah Arendt: Classification of the psychic faculties
- The " Thinking, Willing, Judging " triad
- Arendt's two theses
- 1) basic psychic activities cannot be derived from one another;
- 2) they cannot be reduced to a common denominator
- Arendt's source: Kant
- The structure of psychic phenomena according to Arendt: the " Two-in-one
- The difference between thinking and willing: dialogue and dissension
- The conflict of will(velle) and no-will(nolle) as a condition of freedom
- The nature of judgment
- Aesthetic judgment according to Kant
- Brentano: Psychology from an empirical point of view (1874)
- Brentano's classification of psychic phenomena
- The Kantian triad: " Erkennen, Fühlen, Wollen "
- Kant's predecessors : Tetens and Mendelssohn
- Relationship between the three fundamental psychic activities and the three Critiques
- The Critique of Pure Reason relates to the faculty of knowledge insofar as it contains the principles of knowledge; the Critique of Judgment relates to the faculty of knowledge insofar as it contains the principles of feeling; the Critique of Practical Reason relates to the faculty of knowledge insofar as it contains the principles of desire
- Two of Kant's theses, according to Brentano
- 1) none of the three fundamental psychic activities (knowing, feeling, willing) can be deduced from another, or
- 2) be reduced with them to a third as their origin
- Radicality, imperishability, irreducibility to a third party. Justification of each thesis
- Heterogeneity of desire and pleasure: desire is objectual; pleasure is subjective
- Heterogeneity of desire and knowledge: desire is an aspiration to the realization of an object; knowledge takes it as it is
- The distinction between Erkenntnisvermögen, Gefühl der Lust und Unlust and Begehrungsvermögen is the foundation of critical philosophy
- The mediating role of the "Third Critique
- An analogy of structure and function between feeling and judgment carries and articulates the system of critical philosophy, that of the psychic faculties and that of philosophy in general
- Who comes after Kant?
- Arendt's thesis: nobody
- Elements for another "history
- From Scottish to Austrian philosophy.
