O objetivo deste trabalho é mostrar porque o problema do tempo é o calcanhar de Aquiles no sistema Hegeliano. A filosofia da história em Hegel dá margem a crítica rigorosa porque estruturas lógicas atemporais devem ser aplicadas a um processo que se desenvolve no tempo. Mas não se pode pensar em Hegel aplicando a dialética à história; esta noção pressupõe a existência de nossa consciência histórica pos-Hegeliana. Para nós, tempo é aquilo no qual os eventos ocorrem, um processo infinito estendendo-se para o futuro. Para Hegel, #tempo# emerge somente quando a Idéia Absoluta externaliza-se na filosofia da natureza e nosso #futuro# é meramente um #mau infinito#. Uma investigação arqueológica da compreensão do tempo em Hegel enfatiza que ele foi herdeiro de uma longa tradição filosófica que era absolutamente hostil à mudança, fenômenos temporais e tempo. Nós somos tão profundamente influenciados pelas implicações do pensamento do próprio Hegel que é agora difícil para nós entendermos que ele mesmo não tinha consciência dessas implicações. A hostilidade de Hegel para com o tempo revela-se em sua filosofia da história porque seu próprio sistema é, e somente pode ser, o término da história da filosofia. Mas o escândalo do #fim da história# depende inteiramente de um prévio e muito menos visível escândalo: a falha de Hegel em perceber o que tornou possível para ele conceituar um processo cronológico como a história foi a temporalidade já implícita na dialética Hegeliana em si.
The aim of this work is to show why the problem of time is the Achilles heel of the Hegelian System. Hegel#s philosophy of history is the correct point of entry for a rigorous critique because timeless logical structures must here be applied to a process that enfolds in time. But it is wrong to think of Hegel applying the dialectic to history; this notion presupposes the existence of our own post-Hegelian historical consciousness. For us, time is that within which events occur, an endless process extending into the future. For Hegel, #time# emerges only when the Absolute Idea externalizes itself in the philosophy of nature and our #future# is merely his #bad infinite.# An archeological investigation of Hegel#s understanding of time emphasizes that he was heir to a long philosophical and tradition that was resolutely hostile to change, temporal phenomena, and time. We have been so deeply influenced by the temporal implications of Hegel#s own thought that it is now difficult for us to grasp that he was unconscious of these implications himself. Paradoxically, Hegel#s hostility to time is revealed in his philosophy of history because his own System is and can only be the culmination of the history of philosophy. But the scandal of #the end of history# depends entirely on a prior and far less visible scandal: Hegel#s failure to realize that what made it possible for him to conceptualize a chronological process like history was the temporality implicit in the dialectic itself.

Full textPh.D.
The aim of this dissertation is to examine and helpfully elucidate Kant’s proleptic philosophy of history by pursuing lines of thought across both his critical and historical body of work. A key motivation for this goal stems from noticing certain repetitive explications of Kant’s philosophy across, among other subjects, history, biology, religion, teleology, culture, and education, which, as precise and careful in their detail, all seem to converge on key Kantian ideas of teleology and morality. Rather than concentrating on any one aspect of Kant’s proleptic philosophy, I set out to (i) investigate seemingly untenable problems with his characterization of reason in history, (ii) to counter what I take as a misreading, if not misattributions, of Kant’s proleptic, and not prophetic, thoughts on historical progress, (iii) to offer an original reflection on Kant’s use of a famous stoic phrase in two of his political essays, and (iv) to an attempt a close exegesis toward tying notions of teleology and hope with that of need. The approach that I take in these chapters is both problem centered and exegetical, and while I attempt to answer concerns in the secondary literature pertaining to Kant’s proleptic philosophy of history, I also stay close to the primary texts by providing references and citations to key claims and passages which reinforce Kant’s forceful portrait of the poietic power of human reason to create a world hospitable to its rational ends.

Full textThis thesis explores two fundamental questions: Why wasn't photography invented soon after its major technological components were discovered c. 1650? And why was it invented in the early decades of the nineteenth century c. 1830? This gap of some 200 years separating the feasibility of photography from its actualization has remained largely unexplained.
The answers to both questions is found by situating the genealogy of the invention of photography within the development of the Western philosophy of vision. The fact that photography was invented at the junction of the Classical and Modern epistemes offers a unique opportunity to approach the history of photography from the perspective of the history of thought. Hence this thesis takes its inspiration from the work of Michel Foucault and some of his followers---in particular Jonathan Crary and Geoffrey Batchen. The result of this radical shift from the technical to the intellectual environment allows the history of photography to transcend the narrow confines of technology and formal appearances. From a Foucauldian perspective I argue that photography was invented as a response to the epistemic instability experienced during the transition from the Enlightenment to Modernity.

Full textThe thesis begins by situating the "metalanguage" in which the argumentation between Chomsky and Quine takes place in the Western philosophical tradition. It continues by outlining an historic-hermeneutic link between classical philosophy, early modernism and some twentieth century philosophies of language, most particularly those articulated by Wittgenstein in his two major works. Finally, the thesis concludes by identifying the hermeneutical nature of the philosophical discourse from which Chomsky's linguistics gains its epistemological force.
