255Farewell to Chalmers' Zombie - The 'Principle Self-Preservation' as the Basis of 'Sense'Zeitschrift für Philosophische Forschung 72 246-262. 2018.My argument is that Chalmers' zombie fiction and his rigid-designator-argument going back on Kripke comes down to a petitio principii. Rather, at the core it appears to be more related to the essential 'privacy' of the phenomenal internal perspective. In return for Chalmers I argue that the 'principle self-preservation' of living organisms necessarily implies subjectivity and the emergence of sense. The comparison with a robot proves instructive. The mode of 'mere physical' being is transcended …Read more

7TechnikDe Gruyter. 2020.Das besondere Augenmerk der Studie gilt den globalen und oft auch verstörenden Aspekten der Technikentwicklung. Gegenstand des ersten, analytischen Teils sind gewisse Besonderheiten technischer Rationalität, ihre Durchdringung der Lebenswelt bis hin zur Entwicklung künstlicher Intelligenz sowie die unser Denken bis heute determinierenden geistesgeschichtlichen Weichenstellungen durch Bacon, Galilei und Descartes. Im zweiten, ‘dialektischen’ Teil wird eben jener ‘verstörende’ Wesenszug moderner T…Read more

24Zombie-Verabschiedung – axiologisch – nomologischZeitschrift für Philosophische Forschung 72 (4): 590-597. 2018.The zombie, mocking all nomological arguments, gives rise to axiological considerations that also result in a vindication ofthe nomological paradigm. So the ‘philosophical benefit of zombies’ ultimately proves to be that they lead to an understanding they were originally invented to refute.

15Reflexive UnbeweisbarkeitsaussagenZeitschrift Für Allgemeine Wissenschaftstheorie 7 (1): 133-140. 1976.Die strikte Trennung von Objekt- und Metasprache wird aufgrund des vorgeschlagenen Verfahrens zur Vermeidung von Antinomien nicht nur überflüssig, sondern inakzeptabel. Andererseits führt die Vereinigung eines formalen Systems mit seiner Metatheorie zum Gödelschen Unvollständigkeitsproblem. Daß dieses nicht durch Modifizierungen des Beweisbarkeitsbegriffs eliminierbar ist, findet hier, wie gezeigt wird, seine Erklärung darin, daß der zugrundeliegende Sachverhalt tatsächlich nicht beweistheoretis…Read more

245Zur Seinsweise des PsychischenZeitschrift für Philosophische Forschung 70 (1): 28-46. 2016.The study ties in with former considerations concerning the problem of phenomenal perception of higher animals. Accordingly the phenomenal character, qualia included, results from the adjustment of perceptions to (typal) behavioral dispositions under the principle of self-preservation: an emergence phenomenon provided by the constitutive system unity of perception and behavior, here characterized as percept-act-system. Thereby the subject of behavior can be explained as an emergent instance of t…Read more

546Die Inkonsistenz empiristischer Argumentation im Zusammenhang mit dem Problem der NaturgesetzlichkeitJournal for General Philosophy of Science / Zeitschrift für Allgemeine Wissenschaftstheorie 17 (1): 131-142. 1986.The well-known empiricist apories of the lawfulness of nature prevent an adequate philosophical interpretation of empirical science until this day. Clarification can only be expected through an immanent refutation of the empiricist point of view. My argument is that Hume’s claim, paradigmatic for modern empiricism, is not just inconsequent, but simply contradictory: Empiricism denies that a lawlike character of nature can be substantiated. But, as is shown, anyone who claimes experience to be th…Read more

The ‘explanatory gap’ (Levine) complained by the philosophy of mind, that is to say the failure of all attempts to supply a neuronal explanation of experiences, is emergence-theoretically treate…Read more

On the Deficiency of Reflection in Formal Explications. The criticism formulated by L. B. Puntel concerning the theory of dialectic proposed by the author is rejected. Puntel's attempt at explicating predication by means of (second order) predicate logic fails: It misjudges predication being already presupposed for the possibility of predicate logic, thus belonging to the transcendental conditions of formal predicate logic, so that predication itself cannot be …Read more

417Dialectic as the 'Self-Fulfillment' of LogicIn Markus Gabriel (ed.), The dialectic of the absolute-Hegel's critique of transcendent metaphysics, Continuum. 2009.The scope of my considerations here is defined along two lines, which seem to me of essential relevance for a theory of dialectic. On the one hand, the form of negation that – as self-referring antinomical negation – gains a quasi-semantic expulsory force [Sprengkraft] and therewith a forwarding [weiterverweisenden] character; on the other hand, the notion that every logical category is defective insofar as the explicit meaning of a category does not express everything that is already implicitly…Read more
