Husserl's Transcendental Phenomenology: Nature, Spirit, and Life

Edmund Husserl (1859–1938) is regarded as the founder of transcendental phenomenology, one of the major traditions to emerge in twentieth-century philosophy. In this book Andrea Staiti unearths and examines the deep theoretical links between Husserl's phenomenology and the philosophical debates of his time, showing how his thought developed in response to the conflicting demands of Neo-Kantianism and life-philosophy. Drawing on the work of thinkers including Heinrich Rickert, Wilhelm Dilthey and Georg Simmel, as well as Husserl's writings on the natural and human sciences that are not available in English translation, Staiti illuminates a crucial chapter in the history of twentieth-century philosophy and enriches our understanding of Husserl's thought. His book will interest scholars and students of Husserl, phenomenology, and twentieth-century philosophy more generally

Discussing, Doing, and Teaching Audiovisual Ethnomusicology Today

Our initial encounters on the topic of audiovisual ethnomusicology in Valladolid (2014) and Ljubljana (2016) revealed a rich and diverse landscape of contemporary musical inquiry. Throughout this journey, we have identified various approaches and perspectives within our field. Looking ahead, we recognize an opportunity to reflect on the discourses and debates that have unfolded over the past years. While we celebrate the multiplicity of methodological and theoretical orientations in audiovisual research, we believe that understanding each other's perspectives requires thoughtful consideration of how we construct spaces for critical debate. Here, we summarize some key issues related to doing, discussing, and teaching audiovisual ethnomusicology. In the following pages, we explore how we might rethink the formats through which we share and promote discussion, and we outline some theoretical debates that have emerged since our inaugural meeting. Our focus is not on defining what constitutes audiovisual ethnomusicology but rather on developing vocabularies that help us better articulate and communicate our diverse approaches. This has an immediate impact on the teaching of audiovisual ethnomusicology, a discipline gaining popularity not only among scholars but also among undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students. Our final aim is to open a space for debate about methods, orientations, and potential outcome

Tolerancia. Un enforque fenomenològico.

In this article I present and criticize the dominant Two-Component View (TCV) of tolerance and propose to replace it with a One-Component View (OCV) based on Husserlian phenomenology. In the first part of the chapter I present the TCV as the view that tolerance consist of the conjunction of a positive and a negative component, and I discuss four specification of the TCV by Preston Kind, Rainer Forst, Achim Lohmar, and Lester Embree. I argue that the paradox involved in the conjunction of two opposite components is not plausibly solved by any of these views. In the second part I proceed to outline a Husserlian OCV, according to which tolerance is a moral attitude that neutralizes a positing of value in the context of empathy in order to avoid a value-conflict with another subject. When we tolerate another person we refrain from rebuking or otherwise sanctioning them because we care about their autonomous moral progress more than we care about being axiologically right about our value-positing
