Phenomenology of Communication
Kaiser, Benjamin ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Joisten, Karen (referee) ; Schmiedl-Neuburg, Hilmar (referee)
Doctoral thesis by Benjamin Kaiser (FHS UK): Title in English: Relating and unrelating. A phenomenology of impartation. Abstract (English) Using a phenomenological analysis of the living body, this thesis investigates the dynamics of relating and unrelating in the context of philosophical anthropology. The first main chapter on "Mediation and Deprivation" argues that, in the context of early 20th century, certain philosophical paradigms arose which made the medium an absolute concept: some examples are those of environment; milieu and media theory. On the other hand, Husserl developed the phenomenological Epoché; and Plessner's and Scheler's emphasised the world/environment- difference as a negative response towards these paradigmatic accounts on mediation. An excursus further investigates the "sceptical beginnings of phenomenology" by making a comparison between the Epoché of the ancient Greek scepticism in the works of Sextus Empiricus and the phenomenological Epoché of Husserl. It shows that already in its earliest forms in ancient philosophy the Epoché was understood as related to our bodily existence. The second main chapter develops a "Phenomenology of Boundary Embodiment [Grenzleiblichkeit]". Following Hans Rainer Sepp's anthropology of the living body, this chapter analyses certain phenomena in...

Time and Suffering. Towards a Phenomenology of the "It was" from Nietzsche to Kundera
Kaiser, Benjamin ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Novotný, Karel (referee)
This thesis investigates the relation between time and suffering. This research is based on Nietzsche's phenomenology of the "It was", developed by him in the chapter "On redemption" in "Thus spoke Zarathustra". After the phenomenological reading of this chapter about time and suffering in Nietzsche's work, a second part will be dedicated to the reception, the continuation, the ways in and the ways out of this philosophical problem within the phenomenological philosophy and literature using the examples of Husserl, Heidegger, Levinas, Ricœur and Kundera. The third and last part of this thesis will bring the ways in and ways out, which were won in the second part, together in a discussion. Key words: time, suffering, will, "It was", existence, impersonal being, lítost, redemption, transcendence, remembering, forgetting, revenge, justice, pathic, the Self, the Other, impartation, phenomenology, F. Nietzsche, E. Husserl, M. Heidegger, E. Levinas, P. Ricœur, M. Kundera
