Book Description
A major study of some of the central and abiding questions of metaphysics and the philosophy of language by one of the most eminent contemporary German philosophers. Originally published in 1976, it was first translated into English in 1982. Ernst Tugendhat was trained in the Heideggerian modes of phenomenological and hermeneutical thinking. Yet increasingly he came to believe that the most appropriate approach was from within the framework of analytical philosophy. This book grew out of that conviction, and as such it brought a fresh perspective to some of the rarely examined assumptions and methods of analysis. Professor Tugendhat begins by showing how semantic analysis related to such 'traditional' conceptions of philosophy as Aristotle's and Kant's, and the manner in which it treats such 'traditional' problems as being and consciousness. From these considerations he develops a systematic, thorough and original theory of reference, predication and individuation, which make it an invaluable resource for anyone with an interest in the philosophy of language.
Review
One of the most important contributors to the re-establishment of analytic philosophy in Germany after the Nazi period, in which almost all analytic philosophers had to leave the country. Tugendhat, born in Brno as a Jew, emigrated to Venezuela, received his BA at Stanford 1949 , his Ph.D. in Freiburg 1956 , and his Habilitation in Tübingen 1966 . He has held professorships in Heidelberg, Starnberg, and Berlin.
Trained by Heidegger in the Aristotelian and phenomenological tradition, he argues in an original way that analytic philosophy of language is the culmination of Aristotle's ontological project. Throughout Tugendhat's work the central characteristic of philosophy is ‘the idea of organizing life as a whole in accordance with truth, i.e. the idea of a life of critical responsibility’. Along the same lines, he argues that Wittgenstein's view of self-knowledge and Heidegger's account of practical self-understanding are intrinsically connected because consciousness of the self arises only when I ask the question what kind of human being I aspire to be. This question also plays a central role in ethics as Tugendhat conceives it: morality can only be justified relative to conceptions of good personhood.
Author
Ernst Tugendhat (born March 8, 1930) is a Czech-born German philosopher. He was born in Brno, Czechoslovakia, to a wealthy Jewish family that commissioned Mies van der Rohe with the Villa Tugendhat in Brno. In 1938 the family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to St. Gallen, Switzerland, and in 1941 travelled on to settle in Caracas, Venezuela.
Tugendhat studied classics at Stanford from 1944 to 1949, and went on to do graduate work in philosophy and classics at the University of Freiburg, receiving his doctorate with a work on Aristotle in 1956. During the years 1956−1958 he did post-doctoral research at the University of Münster. From then until 1964 he was an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Tübingen, where, after spending 1965 lecturing at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, he gained his Habilitation in 1966 analyzing the concept of truth in Husserl and Heidegger.
Tugendhat became a professor at the University of Heidelberg (1966−1975), but as a protest against the situation at German universities in the 1970s he gave up his position and relocated to Starnberg, where Jürgen Habermas was at the time. In 1980 he moved to Berlin, becoming, like his friend Michael Theunissen, a Professor of Philosophy at the Free University of Berlin. He was invited to give the 1988–89 John Locke lectures at the University of Oxford, but had to withdraw because of ill health.
Tugendhat retired in 1992, but was a visiting professor in philosophy at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago (1992−1996), a researcher at the Institute for Human Sciences, Vienna (1996), and visiting professor at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic (1997−1998).
