Phenomenology of touch. Ethical Readings of Discontinuous Paradigms
Molina García, Erika Natalia ; Novotný, Karel (advisor) ; Römer, Inga (referee) ; Schnell, Alexander (referee)
Phenomenology of touch. Ethical readings on discontinuous paradigms. Touch is not only the sense that allows us to appreciate shapes and textures. It is also the sense that allows us to feel the tenderness of a caress or the violence of a punch. It allows us to feel temperature and pain, balance and the position of our body, feelings of itching and tickling, vibrations and sexual arousal. In recent years, research on touch has blossomed in the most diverse fields, and these works are unanimous in saying that touch is a crucial factor in our lives and on our health: interhuman cooperations, pain endurance, empathy, compassion and care are all touch depending activities. Starting from a scenarisation of Western philosophy in terms of opposition between continuism and discontinuism, we reinterpret the phenomenological method, by a radicalization of the meaning of its tool (epoche), to put it at service of the analysis of touch phenomena. In this context, our work is presented in a double duality: On the one hand, it unfolds around two main thematic axes, discontinuity (self- thematization) and touch (thematization). On the other hand, it takes the shape of two distinct textual bodies, a purely philosophical one and a philo-performatic one, which intersect and thus aim to perform in the writing of the...

Intermittent Time: the Problem of Identity in E. Husserl and M. Proust
Gonashvili, Gigla ; Schnell, Alexander (advisor) ; Trawny, Peter (referee)
This papers deals with the problem of identity (Identitätsproblem) in the works of E. Husserl and M. Proust. By identity is meant the possibility to coincide with oneself while remembering one's past experience(s); but when the connection between the present act of remembering/thinking and a past event can no longer be established or justified, then arises the problem of identity. Within the framework of our research we're trying to show that these two - above-mentioned - authors struggled with this problem and as a result delivered the reflections that are to a certain extent complementary and contribute to the solution of this problem. Keywords: Identity, coinciding, remembering, empathy, fictional variations, sleep, dream, style, involuntary memories, the intermittent time, intersubjectivity, epoché, essences.

Emmanuel Levinas and Phenomenology of Eros
Roidi, Yassir ; Schnell, Alexander (advisor) ; Grohmann, Till (referee)
The subject of my thesis is the notion of subjectivity and its immediate relation to the concept of 'Eros' of Lévinas' early writings. The question of its inquiry is how the subject can liberate itself from its self-enclosure through an immanent introspection possible due to the Eros. Thus, reaching its emancipation through the love and erotic need common to all individual. Subjectivity, Eros, and fecundity, these are the keywords of the inquiry. It studies the theme of "visage érotique", i.e. the female 'face' par excellence, and the conceptual relation between paternity and childhood from the standpoint of the Levinasian notion of "fecundity". The inquiry also proposes an analysis of the female subject and leads a discussion on gender theory and Lévinas' bipartite conception of the Eros. Subjectivity, Eros, emancipation, love, fertility, partenity, female. .

Bodys and Spaces in Marc Richir
Fazakas, István ; Umbelino, Luis (advisor) ; Schnell, Alexander (referee)
In this study we aim to analyze the problem of corporeality and spatiality in the works of Marc Richir. Our starting point will be the idea of an architectonical reversal of perception and imagination as it characterizes the phenomenology nova methodo of M. Richir. To highlight the importance of this reversal for thinking corporeality and space, we expose first the traditional approach to the question made by Husserl - which has also significantly influenced the conception of M. Richir. Once the main themes are clearly exposed, we can continue with dealing with some key concepts of Richir's new phenomenological proposals, that are essential to think body and space. It is from the difference between imagination and phantasy - which is fundamental in Richir's phenomenology - that we pose the question of corporeality and especially that of Phantasileib. Our aim is to show, following M. Richir - who himself finds inspiration in Husserl -, that the Phantasieleib is the phenomenological Leib itself, immersing itself in the virtual landscape of the phenomenological apeiron, where the movement of schematism takes place. Keywords: phenomenology, body, phantasy, imagination, space, schematism
