Necessity of the fourth part of "Thus spoke Zarathustra"
Murakami, Naoko ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Joisten, Karen (referee)
The purpose of this paper is to examine a question whether the fourth part of "Thus spoke Zarathsutra" is necessary through checking "Thus spoke Zarathustra," Nietzsche's statement from other works, and the letters which Nietzsche wrote. In this paper, I define the fourth part of "Thus spoke Zarathustra" as comedy, and analyze the reason why the fourth part should be the last part. This paper handles the process that "Zarathustra" overcomes himself with the help of the laughter in the fourth part. Moreover, this paper proposes the importance of the two gods, Dionysos and Apollon, whose presence is inevitable for the appearance of laughter, and discusses the relation between the gods and laughter. Keywords Nietzsche, comedy, tragedy, Dionysos, Apollon, laughter, "Thus spoke Zarathustra"

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...

Über den Pinselstrich - unter demAspekt des Verhältnissesvon Gesichts- und Tastsinn. Eine phänomenologische Studie
Huang, Ziming ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Schmiedl-Neuburg, Hilmar (referee) ; Joisten, Karen (referee)
Summary: The dissertation conducts a phenomenological study of the brushstroke in art from the perspective of the relationship between sight and touch. The previous analyzes of painting focus mostly on the sense of sight, this thesis is characterized by the emphasis on the importance of the sense of touch in visual art. The theme is related to both philosophy and art, so the investigation consists of two main parts, "Theoretical Analysis" and "Detailed Analysis". In the part of the "theoretical analysis" first a "historical overview of sight and touch" is led. The philosophical research on perception and the relationship of sight and touch are summarized. Phenomenological observation points to the fundamental meaning of the sense of touch in the corporeality. According to the research of simple perception, the "layer analysis of the image" is carried out. Image-consciousness is a matter of multiple objectivities and their apprehensions. Different layers in image theory by Husserl and Ingarden are presented and compared. In terms of aesthetic experience, Dufrenne's distinction between the artwork and the aesthetic object is guided. The importance of sight and touch in the aesthetic consideration of the brushstroke is recognized. On the basis of the "theoretical analysis" the "detailed analysis" is carried...

Existence as a chase - A persecution of the borders of meaning
Niemann, Lutz Aloys ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Joisten, Karen (referee)
(Deutsch) Diese Arbeit versucht sich unter Einbeziehung interkultureller Quellen im Dialog mit Julio Cortázars Erzählung "der Verfolger" [el perseguidor] an einer Verfolgung der Jagd. Sie hofft, mit dem Begriff der Jagd und seiner Ausdifferenzierung in verschiedene Modi fundamentale Bewegungsrichtungen der menschlichen Existenz zu beschreiben. Die menschliche Existenz kommt dabei als spannungsreiches Zwischen ("inter") von sinngetragener medialisierter Bezogenheit und außer-sinnhafter realer Faktizität in den Blick. Im Verlaufe der Arbeit werden anhand ausgewählter Szenen der Erzählung nicht nur die Spannung des Zwischen selbst, sondern auch seine Pole zum Gegenstand des philosophischen Fragens gemacht. Schlüsselworte: Jagd, Cortázar, Zwischen (inter), Sinn, außer-Sinn, Reales, Leib, absolutes Nichts

Logic of life and dialectic. A perspective of the principles of Wilhelm Dilthey's and Georg Misch's philosophy of life : Schleiermacher's Dialectic background
Jurkovic, Ivan Come ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Joisten, Karen (referee)
This paper aims to seek how far the main concepts and principles of the life's philosophy thought of as « life's logic », developped by Georg Misch, are common to a logic which goes in the direction of a real dialectic, as proposed by Schleiermacher. This life's logic will be considered in itself through the tensions it is trying to keep alive, its critical dimension to Heideggers Fundamentalontology, and in a retrospective view, by seeking the meaning of logic in Diltheys philosophy on which Georg Misch founds his purpose. Therefore, the need, meaning and conception of philosophy of life for Dilthey will be exposed through the new experience field he opened, the new task given to the logic, to the theory of knowledge and to the methodology, and also through the new conceptuality needed to accomplish this task. By the exposition of the fundamental presuppositions of this life-immanent logic it will be discussed how far Schleiermacher's transcendental foundations of knowledge as an endless progress happening between debating subjects can or have to be part of it. This will be done considering the impossibilities implicated by the fact that he represents the metaphysical thought that has to be overstepped. Keywords: G. Misch, W. Dilthey, F. Schleiermacher, Philosophy of Life, dialectic, immanent...

The Self and Nothingness. From Stirner to Nishitani
Gurjanov, Filip ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Joisten, Karen (referee)
This thesis consist of two parts: the first is dedicated to a German philosopher of the first half of 19th century, Max Stirner; the second deals with a Japanese philosopher of 20th century, Keiji Nishitani. Both parts focus on the relation between self and nothingness. The argumentation, which revolves around the negativity of the self, will be developed from each author's specific point of departure. In Stirner's case, this means presenting his theory of egoism, whereas in Nishitani, his conception of the self in the field of absolute nothingness. Furthermore, the self is determined more precisely through Stirner's specific conception of epoché and in Nishitani's metaphor of the person as mask of absolute nothingness. The role of enjoyment will further be discussed as the positive side of the negativity of self in Stirner, which results in his theory of intercourse between individuals. The first part ends with this discussion. In Nishitani, the specific logic of the self, which is born out of bringing together Buddhist ideas with western philosophical terminology, will further be presented. The second part ends with Nishitani's presentation of the meeting between two persons from the depth of emptiness. Key words: self, nothingness, egoism, spirit, epoché, enjoyment, intercourse, union, religion,...
