De Gruyter Self and World: Analytic Philosophy to Phenomenology

Explore the deep connections between analytic philosophy and phenomenology in this scholarly work from De Gruyter. Part of the Quellen und Studien zur Philosophie series, this book examines the relationship between self-conscious subjectivity and the world through a unique lens. Drawing upon the phenomenological traditions established by Husserl and Heidegger, the text offers an alternative elaboration of John McDowell's thesis. It investigates how perception functions as a unity of spontaneity and receptivity, combining concept and intuition. This study provides a clear framework for understanding McDowell's critique of Donald Davidson and his specific conception of perceptual experience. This volume is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the development of modern philosophical thought. It offers a rigorous look at how subjectivity relates to external reality, making it a valuable addition to any academic library focused on Western philosophy and the history of thought.
