A Reflection on Analytical and Language Philosophies

 By Sharam KohanWays in which much of twentieth century philosophy in Britain and in recent decades in the United States has been dominant is analytical with a focus on language which analyzes expression of concepts.   Although Australia and Scandinavian countries have a share in the development of this philosophical movement, their roles have been less substantial.  Despite this tradition of unity, individual philosophers and the following movements have disagreed, often sternly, with each…See More

Judgment, a Priori Itself

Posted on November 12, 1997 at 10:30am 0 Comments

By Sharam Kohan

 

Abstract

The Critique of Judgment explains some a priori character of the cognitive power of judgment. So the cognitive character of judgment became possible merely through itself. The faculty of judgment contains constitution, which contains non-practical as well as non-theoretical use of the term a priori. The power of judgment, seemingly, provides a structure, which requires recognition of…

Sartre’s Conception of Freedom

Posted on June 2, 1996 at 3:00pm 0 Comments

By Sharam Kohan

1996

Abstract

In a way, Jean Paul Sartre can be regarded as transcendentalist of the phenomenological persuasion. Central to his existential ontology and theory of phenomenology is the question of human consciousness. Sartre’s analysis of the concepts of Being, Nothingness, Negation, Freedom and phenomenon is closely connected to his theory of consciousness. Nevertheless, this consciousness is…

Thanks for joining the Public Philosophy Network (PPN)!  A link to our User Guide can be found on the home page in the right column. We hope that you find ways to make the site helpful and supportive of your work and interests. While we welcome all members interested in public philosophy, the particular aim of this site is to help develop and support collaborative projects that include philosophers as partners in research and/or social action projects that in some way contribute a public good and/or further public discussion and deliberation.  If you have questions about the PPN or our aims, please see the report on the founding of the Network here: http://publicphilosophynetwork.ning.com/page/founding-report and read through the general discussion forums. As we build up the site, we are counting on our members to help us make it a success. We strongly encourage you to upload a photo on your profile pages and to complete your profile so that other members with similar interests can network with you.  You can set privacy settings to control who has access to your page and who sends you e-mail.  For directions on this, click here.   Having a robust and fairly accessible profile allows you to use this site to find other philosophers and collaborators for publicly engaged philosophy projects. There are two ways to become actively involved on the PPN on-line network:  1) The affinity groups provide members with the opportunity to collaborate around a particular issue within public philosophy.  2) The general forums on the main page are intended to foster “metadiscussions” on issues in public philosophy that cut across specific issues—these discussions may focus on practical or philosophical concerns.   If your interests aren’t yet represented, you can also start an affinity group or add a thread to a general discussion forum. As we raise more funds, we will be adding new collaborative research tools specific to our work and goals that are not available on facebook and other networking sites.  If you wish to help support this project, please click on the “support” tab on our homepage. If you have general questions about the site or its functionality, please post a question on the membership support forum: http://publicphilosophynetwork.ning.com/forum/categories/member-support/listForCategory
