23Force and Persuasion: The Musical Two-Tiered Structure of Plato’s CosmologyEpoché: A Journal for the History of Philosophy 28 (2): 193-218. 2024.Most scholars have not assigned much interpretive importance to the specific use of the term ‘persuasion’ in the cosmology of Plato’s Timaeus. This paper suggests understanding cosmological ‘persuasion’ in conjunction with ‘force,’ another trait of divine agency in the Timaeus. It analyses the nature of intelligent causation in the cosmology of the Timaeus, particularly in the construction of the cosmic body and soul. Then, it gives a detailed characterization of the causation of necessity, appe…Read more

197Subjectivity as a Plurality: Parts and Wholes in Husserl's Theory of IntersubjectivityIn Andrej Božič (ed.), Thinking Togetherness: Phenomenology and Sociality, Institute Nova Reijva For the Humanities. pp. 89-101. 2023.It is well-known that in the fifth of his Cartesian Meditations, Husserl puts forth a theory of intersubjectivity. Most commentators of Husserl have read his Cartesian Meditations as presenting a theory of intersubjectivity whose basis is empathy, in the form of a process of constituting the sense of “other” in one’s own experience, as the primary origin of the intersubjective layer of experience. In this paper, I claim that the structure of intersubjectivity as Husserl presents it in the Cartes…Read more

36Mathematical Objectivity and Husserl’s “Community of Monads”Axiomathes 32 (3): 971-991. 2022.This paper argues that the shared intersubjective accessibility of mathematical objects has its roots in a stratum of experience prior to language or any other form of concrete social interaction. On the basis of Husserl’s phenomenology, I demonstrate that intersubjectivity is an essential stratum of the objects of mathematical experience, i.e., an integral part of the peculiar sense of a mathematical object is its common accessibility to any consciousness whatsoever. For Husserl, any experience…Read more
