FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Methodological Atheism: An Essay in the Second-Person Phenomenology of Commitment” by Prof. Steven Crowell, Rice University, USA
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Methodological Atheism: An Essay in the Second-Person Phenomenology of Commitment” by Prof. Steven Crowell, Rice University, USA
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95897375782 Abstract This talk argues that reason is phenomenologically grounded in commitment, the experience of being the addressee of a normative claim. Such an experience is the topic of second-person phenomenology. I begin by defending a metaphysically neutral interpretation of phenomenological method (“methodological atheism”). I then contrast Stephen Darwall’s second-person standpoint, in which normative reasons presuppose symmetrical authority between addresser and addressee, with Emmanuel Levinas’s second-person phenomenology, which insists on an asymmetrical authority relation between the addresser and addressee. I argue that Levinas’s account transgresses the methodological atheism of phenomenology and conclude by examining Heidegger’s phenomenology of conscience and commitment. Heidegger shows that the addressee’s responsiveness to the normative is phenomenologically prior to identifying the addresser of the call, […]

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Wayfarers and Dwellers: implications from phenomenological anthropology for ‘roots’ music heritage research” by Prof. Philip Tonner, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom
FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Wayfarers and Dwellers: implications from phenomenological anthropology for ‘roots’ music heritage research” by Prof. Philip Tonner, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/96877800561 Abstract The eighteenth century saw the beginning of a circle of cultural exchange that extended from Scotland and Ireland to the United States – and back again. Scots and Irish emigrants took with them a cultural inheritance of music and storytelling that would become filtered through the American experience and would produce new forms of cultural expression. Distinctive material artefacts, musical instruments such as the guitar and mandolin, functioned as the mechanism of transmission. Our wayfarers produced a cultural record ringing with sonically encoded narratives. With the figure of the wayfarer as heuristic, this paper will draw on the discourses of phenomenology and anthropology to explore the implications of the ‘dwelling perspective’ for developing an approach to ‘roots’ […]
