November-December 2012: A conference in Vienna on new directions in Neo-Kantianism research
Desiderata Neukantianismus-Forschung III
Wissenschaftsphilosophie im Neukantianismus
Ansätze – Kontroversen – Wirkungen
Wien, Do. 29. November 2012 – Sa. 01. Dezember 2012
Themenbeschreibung:
Dies ist die dritte von insgesamt vier Tagungen zu Desiderata der Neukantianismus-Forschung, die in Zusammenarbeit zwischen Christian Krijnen, Tomasz Kubalica, Andrzej J. Noras, Marc de Launay, Kurt Walter Zeidler, Massimo Ferrari und Pierfranscesco Fiorato in den Jahren 2011 bis 2013 in Ustroń, Paris, Wien und Turin stattgefunden haben bzw. noch geplant sind.
Die Tagung Wissenschaftsphilosophie im Neukantianismus nimmt sich eines Kernthemas des neukantianischen Philosophierens an, für das der Neukantianismus von seinen Anfängen bis heute ebenso sehr gerühmt wie gescholten wird. Die Philosophie der Wissenschaften hat, ausgehend von der Kantrezeption und der Abgrenzung vom spekulativen Idealismus sowie vom zeitgenössischen Empirismus und Materialismus bis hin zur systematischen Auseinandersetzung mit der logizistischen und empiristischen Wissenschaftstheorie im 20. Jahrhundert, das Profil und Selbstverständnis des Neukantianismus maßgeblich geprägt. Die Orientierung am ‚Faktum der Wissenschaft‘ hat nicht nur die Marburger Schule und ihr spezifisches Verständnis der ‚transzendentalen Methode‘ als Grundlegung der exakten Wissenschaften (Mathematik und Physik), sondern das Selbstverständnis aller Richtungen des Neukantianismus bestimmt: sie diente entscheidend der akademischen Profilierung des Neukantianismus als ‚wissenschaftliche Philosophie‘, da sie erlaubte, alle anderen Wissenschaften – und in weiterer Folge auch alle sonstigen ‚Fakta‘ der Kultur – als genuine Themen der Philosophie zu reklamieren.

Dieter Adelmann on the "Unity of the Cultural Consciousness"
When I wrote my dissertation and later the book on Cohen's idea of atonement, my understanding of Cohen's systematic philosophy was guided by the approach Dieter Adelmann had taken in 1967 when he wrote his dissertation on Cohen in Heidelberg under the guidance of Dieter Henrich. The problem with this classic among modern studies on Cohen was that it had remained unpublished. Thanks to Görge Hasselhoff and Beate Ulrike La Sala, this has changed now. Dieter Adelmann, Einheit des Bewusstseins als Grundproblem der Philosophie Hermann Cohens. Vorbereitende Untersuchung für eine historischverifizierende Konfrontation der Fundamentalontologie Martin Heideggers mit Hermann Cohens „System der Philosophie“ Aus dem Nachlass herausgegeben, ergänzt und mit einem einleitenden Vorwort versehen von
Görge K. Hasselhoff und Beate Ulrike La Sala, is now available online from Universitätsverlag Potsdam and can be downloaded HERE.

Myriam Bienenstock, Cohen face à Rosenzweig
Review by Chiara Adorisio
Myriam Bienenstock, Cohen face à Rosenzweig: Débat sur la pensée allemande. Paris: Vrin, 2009. 250 pp.
Myriam Bienenstock, Cohen face à Rosenzweig: Débat sur la pensée allemande. Paris: Vrin, 2009. 250 pp.
In her book, “Cohen face à Rosenzweig: Débat sur la pensée allemande”, Myriam Bienenstock analyzes and compares the works of Hermann Cohen and his disciple, Franz Rosenzweig, with particular emphasis on the ways in which these two German-Jewish philosophers sought to appropriate the theories of German idealism.
Since a real debate between the two philosophers never took place, Bienenstockʼs book aims to create a sort of virtual debate between them. The first chapter contains biographical references necessary to understanding the relationship between Cohen and Rosenzweig and their common interest in German idealistic philosophy. In the central chapters, Bienenstock (the author) reconstructs Cohenʼs and Rosenzweigʼs approach to aesthetics (chapters II and III), ethics (chapters IV and V) and the philosophy of history (chapters VI and VII). The eighth and final chapter deals with the way in which Cohen and Rosenzweig influenced Emmanuel Levinasʼs and Martin Buberʼs interpretations of German idealism. Thus, Bienenstock discusses both Cohenʼs and Rosenzweigʼs original (re-)interpretations of German idealism and the impact of their ideas on their most important successors.
Throughout her book, Bienenstock argues that Cohenʼs and Rosenzweigʼs debt to German idealism has too often been neglected, while their debt to their Jewish sources has often been interpreted in a monolithic way. She succeeds in showing that Cohen and Rosenzweig are, in fact, as much indebted to German idealism as they are to their Jewish sources. Bienenstock, furthermore, rediscovers and reconsiders their fundamental contribution to the interpretation of German idealistic thought: beyond serving as key instruments for its understanding, their works can also be considered as original re-interpretations of German thought in general, which had such a considerable impact on the development of modern philosophy – in particular in the fields of ethics and esthetics.

Unità della ragione e modi dell’esperienza. A review
Unità della ragione e modi dell’esperienza. Herman Cohen e il Neokantismo. Atti del Convegno internazionale di studi [Salerno 21-22-23 maggio 2007]
Unity of reason and modes of experience. Hermann Cohen and Neokantianism. Acts of the International Study Conference, Salerno, 21st-23rd May 2007.
Edited by Gian Paolo Cammarota. Published by Rubbettino. Collection Università degli Studi di Salerno-Collana Scientifica (254 pages, 2009, 23 €)
[Editor’s note: The following review, prepared by Mr. Leoni, introduces a recent collection of essays related to Hermann Cohen and neo-Kantianism that emerged from a conference held at Salerno/Italy, in 2007. We plan to introduce such publications to the American reader on a regular basis, but book notes, such as the following, cannot replace critical discussion. We hope that some of our readers and colleagues will contribute critical book reviews to this web-publication in the future. If interested, please contact mzank@bu.edu.]
This volume, dedicated to the President of the Hermann Cohen Gesellschaft, Prof. Helmut Holzhey, collects papers presented at a 2007 conference held in Salerno, Italy.
The book (like the conference) is divided in four sections, containing between three and five papers each, of which we will give a detailed summary later. Most sections are thematically coherent, except the first section, which gives the impression of having collated every subject that did not fit neatly into any of the other sections.
Half of the featured articles are in German, the other half is in Italian. The very first paper, by Helmut Holzhey, is an Italian translation prepared by the volume editor from the German, and there is another chapter that constitutes a translation from German to Italian. No reason is given why these chapters are given in translation. The volume includes a second paper by Professor Holzhey, this one in German. Language confusion between German and Italian also seeped into some of the articles, where the same books, sections, and chapters are sometimes referred to in Italian and sometimes in German. There is a German Bible quotation in an Italian paper, whereas quotations of Hermann Cohen’s works are usually translated. These editorial flaws do not affect the quality of the papers.

Review of Robert Erlewine's Monotheism and Tolerance: Recovering a Religion of Reason
Toward a Non-Violent Intolerance: A Review of Monotheism and Tolerance: Recovering a Religion of Reason, by Robert Erlewine
Indiana University Press, 2010 246 pages
A review by Ingrid Anderson (Boston University)
Monotheism and Tolerance: Recovering a Religion of Reason addresses what its author, Robert Erlewine, calls the "repeated demand" for the adoption of “contemporary values of tolerance and pluralism...[which continue to] pose significant challenges” for the “Abrahamic-monotheistic religions” of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Erlewine notes that “as the calls for tolerance and pluralism, usually made by secularists and religious liberals, grow stronger in the public arena, one cannot help but notice the growing backlash against them.”1It is refreshing that, rather than disregard claims that values such as “tolerance” and “pluralism” are at odds with monotheism's “structural antagonism and hostility toward the Other,” Erlewine takes these claims seriously, and agrees that demands for tolerance and pluralism will understandably go unheeded by traditional religious practitioners if those who make such demands fail to respect, and take into account, the “symbolic or discursive structure shared by Abrahamic religions”2 which, at its core, requires intolerance, or even the obliteration of, the Other.

Reiner Wiehl in memoriam
Reiner Wiehl served as ordinarius Professor of Philosophy at Heidelberg University since 1976. His thought combined strands of tradition of a developed systematic Kantianism, Existentialism (he was president of the Karl Jaspers Foundation), and the natural philosophy of Whitehead. As shown by the three volumes of his collected essays (Suhrkamp, 1996-2000), but also by the festschrift in his honor (Zeit und Welt, 2002), the deceased made significant contributions to contemporary philosophy, especially a critique of an “experience without metaphysics,” with his philosophical reflexions on time, and with the elaboration of a conception of concrete subjectivity oriented on Whitehead. Just as he analyzed “The principle of fidelity [Treue] in the Hermann Cohen’s ethics and philosophy of religion” (1997), the virtue of fidelity in love for philosophy also determined his own work “between metaphysics and experience.” Reiner Wiehl illuminated Cohen’s logic of origin not only in contrast with Rosenzweig’s “meta-logics” (1988), but he associated it with the idea of a pure monotheism that is found in the religion of reason from the sources of Judaism in a more original form than in any philosophy.
In our Hermann Cohen Society, we will keep the memory of Reiner Wiehl, the endearing man and the philosopher of the gentle voice dedicated to the eternal search for truth.

Review of Ezio Gamba, La Legalità del Sentimento Puro
Ezio Gamba, La Legalità’ del Sentimento Puro. L’Estetica di Hermann Cohen come modello di una filosofia della cultura. (The Lawfulness of Pure Feeling. Hermann Cohen’s Aesthetics as Model of a Philosophy of Culture). Mimesis Edizioni, Milan-Udine, 2008
352 pages. Euro 12.
Reviewed by Giacomo Leoni (Boston University)
In his 2008 book on the “lawfulness of pure feeling” (reines Gefühl), Ezio Gamba, Research Fellow at the Università del Piemonte Orientale, aims to demonstrate (as he explains in the introduction) how Cohen not only addressed aesthetic issues as such, but rather considered aesthetics as a foundational element in his theory of culture. Nevertheless, says Gamba, there has not been any study focusing on this aspect of Cohen’s philosophical thought. His study intends to remedy this lacuna in the study of Cohen.
