7th Central and Eastern European Conference on Phenomenology

Call for papers: Phenomenology and Aristotle
St. Petersburg, June 2-3, 2012.
A conference dedicated to Alexei Chernyakov

The phenomenological movement recognized from the outset its debt to Aristotle’s philosophy. As it is too well-known, this affinity has been emphasized and deepened by Martin Heidegger and by the contemporary phenomenological research in the wake of Hannah Arendt, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur etc. Alexei Chernyakov has been an eminent Russian representative of that tradition.

Nevertheless, phenomenological interpretations of Aristotle’s philosophy seem, nowadays, to be marginal, in part because of their reluctance to establish a bridge with contemporary Aristotelian scholarship and with alternative approaches to Aristotle. The conference aims at putting an end to this introverted attitude. It welcomes therefore contributions which, though of phenomenological inspiration, provide text-centered readings of Aristotle’s philosophy in dialogue with current debates within Aristotelian studies. Bringing to light eventual affinities or disparities with analytic-oriented readings of Aristotle is also a desideratum. There is no restriction as to the specific subject matter of the contributions. Phenomenological studies on Aristotle’s ethics, politics, rhetoric, metaphysics, physics, poetics, time, action, etc. are equally welcome.

Libri nigri

Libri Nigri
Edited by Hans Rainer Sepp

The libri nigri meet preferentially at sites where the boundaries of realities, standpoints, disciplines as well as cultural traditions and traditions of knowledge come into view and where their assump-tions are negotiable. To trace their intentions of reasoning is more important than the search for the reasons themselves; the daring experiment means more than the effectual model; disturbing action more than the drive towards safeguarding. Since the sites for decisive action are found mostly on the fringes and not at the centers and since boundaries not only function as limits but also simultane-ously cover up the potential for difference and otherness, this series will also not refrain from enter-ing the terrain of the Utopian.
