PhD study topics for the academic year 2023/2024
Possibilities of phenomenology in anthropologyAnnotation:The possibilities of connection between phenomenology and philosophical anthropology are both historical-philosophical (Scheler and Plessner belonged to the circle of Husserl's disciples) and thematic (arising from the phenomenology of corporeality, perception, intersubjectivity, etc.). This implies the possibility of elaborating on this theme by tracing the productive intersections of phenomenological analysis on the one hand and raising anthropological questions on the other. This can be used more closely in the investigation of such phenomena as illness and health, care for the self, corporeality, expressivity, being in the world and with other people. This exploration also offers the possibility for interdisciplinary collaboration between philosophy and related disciplines focusing on issues of culture, sociality or historicity. |
Philosophical-anthropological Analysis of Laughing and Crying (in the Context of Helmuth Plessner's Work)Annotation:The doctoral thesis will be based primarily on the philosophy of Helmuth Plessner, who addressed the topic of the laughter and crying expression in specific texts (especially in Laughing and Crying, Das Lächeln), as well as in the context of his contribution to the anthropology of sense, the theory of expression, and the analysis of corporeality. In his philosophical anthropology, Plessner brings a critical perspective to the contemporary and traditional philosophical and scientific discourse that has developed around this topic, and offers his own approach to thematising the modes of expression in question in their original course and the relation of man to his corporeality. |
