Workshop – Phenomenology: Linguistic Or Eidetic?
Bernhard Ritter announces a workshop entitled Phenomenology: Linguistic Or Eidetic?, held from 8 to 10 June 2023 at the University of Graz. The workshop is funded by an Erwin-Schrödinger Grant from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).
The contrast alluded to in the title is that between what J. L. Austin called “linguistic phenomenology”, aka ordinary language philosophy, and phenomenology as founded by Edmund Husserl. Husserlian phenomenology is meant to include figures like Eugen Fink, Adolf Reinach, or Merleau-Ponty, but also influential secessionists like Heidegger or Derrida. The former tradition is understood as including the likes of Wittgenstein, Ryle, Alan R. White, or Cavell. The talks will either cut across the traditions or be essential in a way that makes them relevant for both of them. Husserl and Austin will be the main, but not the sole, focus of the conference.
The first half-day (starting on Thursday, 8 June 2023, 3:30 pm) will be held as a hybrid event. To participate, go HERE at the time of the workshop and click on the uniMEET link to the left. On Friday and Saturday, the workshop will be held in presence only. No formal registration is required, but let Bernhard Ritter know if you wish to attend by sending an email to bernhard.ritter AT uni-graz.at
