 Criticism: The Linguistic Turn in Hermeneutic Philosophy. - Review - book review
With The Linguistic Turn in Hermeneutic Philosophy Cristina Lafont confronts both Anglo-American and German reflections on language.
According to Lafont, the linguistic turn in the German tradition of the philosophy of language begins in the "Hamann-Herder-Humboldt" tradition, a tradition that emphasizes the "world-disclosing" function of language.
The author analyzes the linguistic turn in the German tradition of the philosophy of language to critique and extend Habermas's theory of communicative rationality.

 Amazon.ca: Books: The Linguistic Turn in Hermeneutic Philosophy
The linguistic turn in German philosophy was initiated in the eighteenth century in the work of Johann Georg Hamann, Johann Gottfried von Herder, and Wilhelm von Humboldt.
Although this study is concerned primarily with the German tradition of linguistic philosophy, it is very much informed by the parallel linguistic turn in Anglo-American philosophy, especially the development of theories of direct reference.
Part III shows how the shortcomings of German linguistic philosophy can be avoided by developing a consistent and more defensible version of Habermas' theory of communicative rationality.

It is for this reason that Benjamin was liberated from the grey annals of German philosophy and became the patron saint of late-modern 'theory'...
The troubled concept of aura -- derived from Baudelaire, Proust and Proust's Bergsonian persona (and inflected with East European Jewish mystical tendencies) -- seems the key to Benjamin's philosophy of history, while also his chief problem (complaint) with Heidegger, given that Heidegger's concept of historicity rang false for Benjamin.

 Husserl,
Apel and Habermas belong among these exceptions, and where German is spoken, the view that an intersubjective transformation of philosophy is a real necessity has been principally spread through their works.
Excerpt: The critique mounted by linguistic philosophy against a philosophy of the subject‑a critique that has been so predominant in 20thcentury thought‑is often interpreted as the manifestation of a far‑reaching philosophical paradigm shift namely, as a shift from a philosophy of subjectivity to a philosophy of intersubjectivity.
Although the critics of a philosophy of the subject have readily been able to agree that it has to be replaced by an intersubjective alternative, the very concept of "intersubjectivity" has remained conspicuously unthematized.

 Analytic philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Much philosophy in Germany and Italy today, most of that in Scandinavia, and a great deal scattered over the rest of the continent and in so called Latin America, is likewise analytic.
The phrase "continental philosophy", like "Greek philosophy", would denote a certain historical period or series of schools in philosophy: German idealism, Marxism, psychoanalysis qua philosophy, existentialism, phenomenology, and post-structuralism.
This was at the same time that Heidegger was dominating philosophy in Germany, and becoming influential in France, and his work became the object of frequent derision in English-speaking philosophy departments.

Emil Ludwig, an extensive writer on German ambassadorial and colonial affairs was caught in a situation, in this matter, of adding undigested erudition to narratives, about African Religion and /or Philosophy.
    The characteristics of the names and titles coined to express what one would equate to African Religion and Philosophy betray the preconceived situation under which the authors of such expressions happen to have been influenced.
The minimization of African Religion and Philosophy is generally effected either by omission or by commission.

 Fear and Trembling
English rendering of the German Teleologie des Sittlichen; this is an allusion to the Philosophy of Right where Hegel conceives morality as the ultimate realization (unity) of the good itself and the subjective conscience.
A refusal to depart from the position of individuality appears therefore to be a sin in a moral sense.

 The Postel Service: Excavating the future Archives
In a recent Telos book review, Gottfried plunges straight into the raging debate over the Nazism of the late German philosopher Martin Heidegger, disputing the claim of Victor Farias (author of the book Heidegger and Nazism) that Heidegger's philosophy is deeply contaminated with fascism.
Telos editor Paul Piccone defends Gottfried's review, arguing that there is no connection between Heidegger's fascism and his philosophy.
Farias called attention to such moments in Heidegger's career as his 1933 reference to "the glory and the greatness of the Hitler revolution," and to a speech to German students that same year in which Heidegger proclaimed: "Doctrine and 'ideas' shall no longer govern your existence.

 G.W.F. Hegel -- Social and Political Thought [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In addition to epitomizing German idealist philosophy, Hegel boldly claimed that his own system of philosophy represented an historical culmination of all previous philosophical thought.
Hegel says that in the history of the world we can distinguish several important formations of the self-consciousness of Spirit in the course of its free self-development, each corresponding to a significant principle.
Hegel says that "A man actualizes himself only in becoming something definite, i.e., something specifically particularized; this means restricting himself exclusively to one of the particular spheres of need.

 Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Until around 1800, Hegel devoted himself to developing his ideas on religious and social themes, and seemed to have envisaged a future for himself as a type of modernising and reforming educator, in the image of figures of the German Enlightenment such as Lessing and Schiller.
Hegel's own pithy account of the nature of philosophy given in the “Preface” to his Elements of the Philosophy of Right captures a characteristic tension in his philosophical approach and, in particular, in his approach to the nature and limits of human cognition.
Thus while the traditional view sees Hegel as exemplifying the very type of metaphysical speculation that Kant successfully criticised, the post-Kantian view of Hegel sees him as both accepting and extending Kant's critique, even of turning it against the residual “dogmatically metaphysical” aspects of Kant's own philosophy.

Sometimes, when we ask for the object of Philosophy, we ask what is the matter which is studied by Philosophy or, shortly, what is philosophized upon.
When faced with metaphysical fancies, we should be active.

 Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, 1770-1831
Hegel's philosophy is a rationalization of his early mysticism, stimulated by Christian theology.
Inspired by the French Revolution in youth, rejoicing with Napoleon (that "world soul") in his victory over Prussia at Jena, Hegel's philosophy eventually turned him into a loyal supporter of that authoritarian state and a morbid hater of democratic measures, particularly the English Reform Bill.
His political philosophy is set out in The Philosophy of Right (1821), and his lecture notes on the History of Philosophy, Philosophy of History and of Art, the latter an important contribution to aesthetics, were published posthumously.

 hegel.net - Hegel FAQ (most frequent asked questions)
During the Bismarck era, Hegel was almost forgotten due to the trend of Positivism in philosophy, and when he was remembered he was often despised for his "un-German-ness" and his unpatriotic and French inspired philosophy.
Hegel's philosophy is the philosophy of Reason, and Hegel himself presents his philosophy as a Science.
In his "Philosophy of Right" he declares that the respect for the codified law is the "shibboleth" distinguishing the true philosopher from the dangerous fanatics.

 Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The fact that it ends in the attainment of “Absolute Knowing,” the standpoint from which real philosophy gets done, seems to support the traditionalist reading in which a “triumphalist” narrative of the growth of western civilization is combined with the theological interpretation of God's self-manifestation and self-comprehension.
Until around 1800, Hegel devoted himself to developing his ideas on religious and social themes, and seemed to have envisaged a future for himself as a type of modernising and reforming educator, in the image of figures of the German Enlightenment such as Lessing and Schiller.
The Philosophy of Right (as it is more commonly called) can, and has been, read as a political philosophy which stands independently of the system, but it is clear that Hegel intended it to be read against the background of the developing conceptual determinations of the Logic.
