Description
In this collection of essays, I endeavour to found a novel stance concerning the relationship between subjectively experienced consciousness and objectively observable occurrences in the CNS ('consciousness-brain' problem). Although, from antiquity up to the fashionable though in my eyes highly dubious 'neurophilosophical' approaches of our days, this problem has found innumerable answers, most of them - and, as far as I can see, all of them that are presently being discussed by mainstream philosophers and empirical scientists - may be roughly subsumed under the well-known generic labels of either 'dualism' or 'monism' (or hybrids of them). Objecting simultaneously to both of these overall positions - all variants of which, I think, may gain whatever little appearance of acceptability they have at all mainly in the light of the shortcomings of their respective opposites -, I am going to suggest trying out a 'third way' beyond monism and dualism, which I propose to call 'complementaristic' in much the sense of Niels Bohr's. This requires a fundamental reassessment of some of our most deeply ingrained and practically never challenged preconceptions in the philosophy of mind. Hans-Ulrich Hoche, born 1932. Academic studies in mathematics and physics, philosophy, comparative religion, and Slavic philology. Dr. phil. 1962, Habilitation 1971. Visiting professor of German and philosophy, University of the Philippines, Quezon City, 1962-65; Professor of philosophy, Universität Bochum, 1973-96. Retired since 1996. Main researches in the fields of transcendental phenomenology and linguistic analysis (theory of consciousness, mind-body-problems, methods of informal logic, logic of conviction and intention, metaethics).
