FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Dilthey, Individuation, and Self-Awareness” by Prof. Eric Nelson, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/92005225257 Abstract Contemporary philosophy remains ensnared in a dialectic between reifying the subject and reducing it to natural and social forces. Neither approach appears adequate to the first- and second-person perspectives of the lived experience (Erlebnis) of being a relational self with others in the world. This self is in Dilthey's analysis experienced as conditioned and other-dependent and the conditioning world is experienced as "there-for-me" (da-für-mich) in ways that do not appear to merely reproduce and potentially resist and transform its situation. How should we account for these experiences and the phenomenality of being a self? Dilthey has been criticized in subsequent hermeneutics and social theory for prioritizing reflexive self-awareness (Innewerden), self-reflection (Selbstbesinnung), and a structural methodological individualism.

Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/98417058644 Abstract In this paper, we consider ameliorative projects, with special emphasis on their bearing onto the concept WOMAN. We start by looking at Haslanger’s proposal. By tracing it to its Carnapian origins, we criticize it for its top-down approach to the issue and for its shortcomings in explaining the possibility of conceptual continuity through change. We then lay out the details of a Wittgenstein-inspired, bottom-up alternative. Key to this approach is to think of WOMAN as family-resemblance concept. It is argued that this approach is better suited than its Carnapian counterpart to account for conceptual continuity through change, and for its ability to include transwomen within that category. It is claimed that the proposed account of conceptual continuity […]
