Gefühlte Natur und natürliche Gefühle. Wie die ersten Planetarien urbane Natur produzierten und fühlbar machten

When the world’s first planetariums opened in the mid-1920s in the Weimar Republic, people flocked to the institution to view the starry sky, to have it explained to them and to feel close to it. This starry sky, projected onto a dome by a projector, was seen as nature by the mostly urban planetarium audience, and the experiences under the dome as experiences of nature. The reason for this was the feelings that arose in the planetarium and were deliberately evoked by the staging of the shows. The impression of nature in the planetarium was the result of emotional work. Based on an analysis of multi-perspective sources (press reports, lecture manuscripts, advertising materials, planning and administrative documents, photographs, correspondence, etc.), this article shows: Feelings are not only the indicator that something is nature; feelings make nature. Nature was revealed in the planetarium as a co-production of people and machines, technology and narrative, emotion and cognition. It revealed itself as a con(-)fusion in which people found (aesthetic) experiences that fulfilled a variety of purposes for them: These experiences brought them close to a nature imagined as pure and moral, enabled ’modern’ ways of feeling, provided knowledge marked as scientific, and put them in a mood that seemed particularly valuable to them.

The history of logic in Ukraine is still not sufficiently studied. Researchers, as a rule, analyze the legacy of outstanding scholars from a historical-philosophical point of view, paying attention to philosophical problems considered in their works. Logical issues are left out of consideration. One of the reasons is that a small number of original logical works have survived to this day. Besides, these are mostly archival documents, including lecture manuscripts, essays on specific issues of logic, curriculums, etc. If we consider the published works, they are mostly textbooks, some of which remain unknown to a wide circle of scholars.
 In this context, the purpose of the paper is to analyze the teaching of logic at St. Volodymyr University from 1834 until 1917. The author set four research objectives. The first is to find out what place logic took among another academic disciplines at the University. The second is to analyze and systematize information about teachers who taught logic. The third is to investigate textbooks and manuals that students used to master the logic course. The fourth is to analyze the logical curriculums used at that time. In the paper the author distinguishes the peculiarities of logic teaching at the University of St. Volodymyr; reveals the reasons why logic had been presented to students in the traditional view; answers the question, of which relevant problems to that time had impacted the teachers’ logical treatments; shows how European trends in the development of logical knowledge had been taken into account in the logic courses offered to students at St. Volodymyr University.

When the prospectus for the Max Weber Gesamtausgabe was issued in 1981, it included a complete bibliography of Weber’s published writings (which remains a valuable resource) and an outline of the tripartite structure of the edition, divided between writings and speeches, letters, and ‘lecture manuscripts and notes from his lectures’. This third section had then only two volumes: Wirtschaftsgeschichte (III/1) and Nachgelassene Vorlesungsmanuskripte und Vorlesungsnachschriften (III/2).1 The first of these was the text originally published in 1923, which was given a length of ‘about 500 pages’ (the original is 348 pages including the index), but named neither editor nor publication date; the second had no length, editor, or date of publication given. Clearly these two volumes were, in the opinion of the editors, more or less ephemera. Whether they were fully aware in 1981 of the extent of material that is now the more than 3000 pages of Bde. III/1-5 is not clear. In any case, at that time the notes were held in the GDR’s Merseburg archive. While moving apartments during the summer of 1900, Marianne Weber had commented on this mass of lecture notes (MWG III/2: 103), but how and why this material from the 1890s uniquely survived the cull of manuscript material, drafts, and proofs that she bequeathed to the MWG editors is unclear. Marianne had attended the lecture course on 1. Seven volumes of Abteilung III were eventually published, five from the 1890s, the Wirtschaftsgeschichte (which became MWG III/6), and the lecture course on Staatslehre und Politik (III/7) that Weber broke off in May 1920, a few weeks before his death. 260 Max Weber Studies© Max Weber Studies 2021. ‘Praktische Nationalökonomie’ in 1897–98 and made notes that Max Weber later wanted to see (MWG III/2: 13 n. 68), but even these have vanished. Max himself seems to have discarded papers as he went along, which in part accounts for the lack of material. But Marianne put together the bulk of Wirtschaft and Gesellschaft out of manuscript material that has also subsequently disappeared. Likewise, while the 1923 edition of the Wirtschaftsgeschichte was assembled from perhaps five to eight sets of student notes (MWG III/6: 60), no record survives of whose notes they were and what happened to them. One can also only wonder why no student notes have ever surfaced for the 1918 Vienna lectures, or the SS 1919 Munich lectures, both of which were reportedly very well attended. MWG III/6 includes some notes made by Carl Schmitt (52933 ), but Max Rheinstein was registered for this course of lectures too, and one might have thought he would have made notes, kept them, and by the 1950s realised their value.2 We can reconstruct Weber’s typical approach to lecturing from the evidence in MWG I/17, where we can find reproductions of his scrappy notes, and then read about the process through which a stenographic record turned into the finished, published lecture ‘Politik als Beruf’. Presumably the editorial team considered that the authorial hand at work here provided an endorsement absent in the case of the 1923 publication of the Wirtschaftsgeschichte—that the latter is compromised, secondary material lacking the direct hand of the author. Even without objecting that this conception of authorship is today widely thought obsolete, one could argue that the absence of the ‘hand of the author’ in the Wirtschaftsgeschichte has distinct advantages, more direct evidence of...

Schleiermachers Pädagogik im Spiegel der kritischen Edition

Schleiermacher‘s Theory of Education as Reflected in the Critical Edition The recently published volume II/12 of the Critical Complete Edition presents in chronological order and critically edited all available pedagogical texts that Schleiermacher developed through the years 1810 to 1826. It includes institutionally produced »Votums« originating from his occupation in the state education authorities as well as the reprint of his handwritten lecture manuscript of 1813/14 and postscripts of the 1820/21 and 1826 courses on educational theory written by one student each. Firstly, the article describes the importance of each single textual witness and opens, in a second step, possible research perspectives which especially result from the systematical closeness between the educational and the psychological lectures which will be published soon as CCE-volume II/13.

Über einige vermisste Briefe und Vorträge des jungen Tillich

Abstract In this article some early letters and lecture manuscripts of Paul Tillich are listed which are missing in the archives. Fortunately, Wilhelm and Marion Pauck in their biography and in an article on Tillich had given detailed quotations from the missing manuscripts. Perhaps they still exist somewhere.

The “Corporeality” of the Image in Walter Gropius’ Monumentale Kunst und Industriebau Lecture

The introduction of a series of traded photographs of North and South American Silos into the discourse of modern architecture has been generally attributed to the German architect Walter Gropius when he published the photographs in the 1913 Jahrbuch des Deutschen Werkbundes. What remains overlooked is the photographs’ original dissemination platform: Gropius’ Monumentale Kunst und Industriebau Lichtbildervortrag [lantern slide lecture] from 1911. Based on a close reading of archival material – first the original lecture manuscript, which indicates that images and text were merged in performance, and then the photographic slides – this paper argues that the projector’s agency enables the foundation of these iconic buildings’ architectural criticism. Indeed such criticism actually takes place in the ephemeral space of the projection, rather than in the various printed media where it is usually located.

Paul von Klenau og hans niende symfoni. Kilderne, værket, receptionen

Niels Krabbe: Paul von Klenau and his ninth Symphony – the sources, the work, the reception
 In 2001, the Royal Library learned about a comprehensive private collection in Vienna that contained music, letters and lecture manuscripts, photographs and other archive materials of the Danish composer Paul von Klenau (1883–1946). A preliminary survey of the collection revealed that the contents included a number of music manuscripts (symphonies, chamber music concerts and more), which were not known from the rest of the library’s major collection of Klenau works. The collection’s greatest and most interesting work was a major complete “Ninth Symphony” for orchestra, choir and four soloists in eight movements, for a Latin text with a mix of liturgical texts from the Catholic requiem and texts of unknown provenance.In 2005, the library succeeded in acquiring the collection and it was transferred to the Royal Library. Subsequently, the Danish Centre for Music Publication (DCM) organised a philological adaptation and published Symphony No. 9 for the purpose of the premier performance of the work, which duly took place 70 years after it was written, performed as a Thursday Concert in March 2014 and conducted by Michael Schønwandt.Klenau had worked in Germany as a composer and conductor in the 1920s and 1930s. He returned to Denmark in 1939 where he stayed for the rest of his life. Because of his extensive German background he did not receive high recognition in Danish music, despite the range and nature of his musical output. This was mainly because of his relationship with the Third Reich and Nazism, which affected his last years and his posthumous reputation.Symphony No. 9 was composed in the years 1944–45, and is a mix of requiem and a symphony, each in four movements. Due to the text, the work is both a traditional requiem and a requiem about the war. Both in its expression and in its length, it is probably the greatest symphony ever written by a Danish composer.The premier in 2014 received mixed reviews, and Klenau’s attitude to Nazism was discussed once again. The work was criticised for its eclectic character with its mix of late romantic forms of expression on the one side and its accomplished dodecaphonic passages on the other.The newly available Klenau collection from Vienna, including the treated Symphony No. 9, has nuanced and problematised Klenau’s position in Danish music history.

Die Einflüsse der Brentano’schen Intentionalitätskonzeptionen auf den frühen Husserl

Both the current research literature and a tradition stemming from Husserl himself agree that it was Brentano’s notion of intentionality which „gave rise“ to Husserl’s phenomenology. I rely on extensive primary materials, including unpublished sources from four archives, to revisit this thesis. Already a survey of the historical circumstances of Brentano’s second decade in Vienna, when Husserl studied under him, hints at possible discrepancies in the reception of Brentano’s thought, which are further deepened by the editing policy employed by his orthodox students. I analyze an unpublished lecture manuscript of Brentano to find three different notions of intentionality, including a strikingly a-phenomenological one, which I then relate to the discussion by modern scholarship and try to identify those notions of intentionality which were encountered by Husserl as a student of Brentano. Given this heterogeneous matrix of influences, it is far from surprising that a closer look at Husserl’s philosophical juvenilia shows that he misunderstood Brentano’s notion of intentionality and attempted to employ it in a different theoretical context (maybe motivated by an idiosyncratic notion of inner perception). Finally, the notion of intentionality Husserl later attributed to Brentano was probably mitigated to him by indirect sources, including lecture manuscripts copied by the extravagant and less-know student of Brentano, Hans Schmidkunz, and a debate between a contemporary logician Christoph Sigwart and Brentano’s orthodox disciples. The analysis of these transmission mechanisms could reveal a distinct transformation which proved to be instrumental in the development of Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology. The allegedly decisive influence of Brentano’s notion of intentionality at Husserl thus seems to consist in a productive misunderstanding (which apparently corresponds to Brentano’s surprisingly dismissive evaluation of Husserl after Husserl’s departure from Vienna).

昭和戦前期における岸田日出刀の「建築計画」の講義方針とその理論的特質

This paper discussed on the lecture policy and its theoretical characters of Hideto Kishida's "Kenchiku Keikaku" class at the Tokyo imperial university, based on analysis of the lecture manuscripts "Introduction to the architectural design" (1937) and the syllabus. Kishida considered the field as a subject to "designing architecture" in building up his two classes of "Kenchiku Keikaku" and "Isho and Soshoku (design and decoration)." He held lectures attached with history, design and planning while developing what he had succeeded from Yasushi Tsukamoto. With the assistance of such catchphrases as "Architecture is a container of human life" and "Necessity is the sole mistress of art" by Otto Wagner, Kishida established a theory to position architecture as a form of art. He also repeatedly explained about the meaning of Locality (specialty) throughout the lecture, in which he introduced a historical view in his attempt to back up the theory of dwelling development.

講義原稿「意匠及装飾（形体篇）」（昭和12年）にみる岸田日出刀の建築造形理念

This paper examined Hideto Kishida's Formative ideas in Architecture Design in the early Showa period by analyzing the principles and various aspects, found from his lecture manuscripts, comments to Cyureito (the monumental tower to the faithful died in battle) and works of tombstone and pedestals of bronze statues in the same period. Strong feeling to the elementary geometry can be felt with use of aesthetics principles, such as symmetry, balance and repetition, and by quoting trials of advanced arrange theory (“Dynamic Symmetry” advocated by Jay Hambidge) to the three‐dimensional and expression of modernism architecture, the attitude to apply those to the architecture can be recognized. A technical point of view was insufficient in explanations of modernism. Also Kishida did not reject the continuity from the past, and he intended to exchange with tradition. Against “Kochiku”, emphasis on “Kosei” came to the surface, and most of the ideas for architecture matched with Le Corbusier's statement in “Toward an Architecture” (1923).

Über Museen der Naturgeschichte und ihren Zweck. Ein Vortrag gehalten von Leopold von Buch (1774–1853) im April 1838

A manuscript of a lecture by the Prussian geologist Leopold von Buch given at the Berlin Society of the Friends of the Humanity was discovered at the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin. The text is a raw version of a passionate plea for the formation of natural history collections as science places, with a partly biting humor. Based on until now unknown anecdotes about naturalists like Kaspar Maria Graf Sternberg (1761-1838) and Friedrich Wilhelm Hoeninghaus (1771-1854) Leopold von Buch argues with von Sternberg for the scientific value of natural history collections. The repeating references to the works of Goethe and an extensive addendum of various Dante translations into German are striking. The lecture manuscript complements our knowledge about the thinking of this important geologist, and provides new insights into the science policy of his time.

Logik-Vorlesung: Unveroffentlichte Nachschriften (review)

Reviewed by: Logik-Vorlesung: Unveröffentlichte Nachschriften I (Logik Bauch), and Logik-Vorlesung: Unveröffentlichte Nachschriften II (Logik Hechsel, Warschauer Logik) Hoke Robinson Tillmann Pinder , editor. Logik-Vorlesung: Unveröffentlichte Nachschriften I (Logik Bauch), and Logik-Vorlesung: Unveröffentlichte Nachschriften II (Logik Hechsel, Warschauer Logik), vols. 8 and 9 of the series Kant-Forschungen, general editors Reinhard Brandt and Werner Stark . Hamburg: Felix Meiner Verlag, 1998. Vol. 8, pp. lxx + 268; vol. 9, pp. vii + 718. NP. Between 1755, when he received the venia legendi, and 1796, when he ended his teaching activity, Kant taught logic some 30 times. In accordance with the requirements of the Prussian ministry of culture, his course lectures were built around a recognized text, G. F. Meier's 1752 Auszug aus der Vernunftlehre. Kant did not merely present Meier's views, however, but commented on and criticized these as he thought appropriate; his own copy of Meier was full of marginal notes and interleaved with notes on separate bits of paper. When in 1799 he entrusted G. B. Jäsche with this material for the compiling of a logic text, the thought was presumably of a Kantian logic organized around Meier's framework. Since logic plays such a prominent role in the Critical philosophy, one would expect the Jäsche logic to be viewed as an important tool for the interpretation of the Critical philosophy. But dissatisfaction with it was evident right from its original publication in 1800, and later scholars were even more negative (in 1913 Erich Adickes referred to it [End Page 603] as "the contrivance [Machwerk]. . . that Jäsche published under the name of Kant's logic," Erich Adickes, quoted in Ak. XXIV.960). And in fact, as Pinder's careful and detailed introduction points out, the nature and origin of the Jäsche logic presented a serious problem for Wilhelm Dilthey's organization of the now-standard Akademie-Ausgabe (Kants gesammelte Schriften, herausgegeben von der königlich preussischen [now: deutschen] Akademie der Wissenschaften. Berlin: de Gruyter, 1902- Cited as "Ak."). Dilthey conceived of four divisions of the Akademie-Ausgabe: Kant's published writings, his correspondence, his literary remains ("handschriftlicher Nachlass") and his lectures ("Vorlesungen"). Where, exactly, did the Jäsche logic belong? Kant had himself compiled a similar text from his lecture notes on anthropology, and this text was published in the first division (in volume VII). But did the Jäsche logic count as Kant's work? It was indeed authorized by Kant and based on Kant's own lecture notes; but these notes themselves were to be published in the Nachlass division. Furthermore, as it turned out, Jäsche had also employed manuscripts compiled from the lectures themselves, and these were to be published in the Vorlesungen division. This would not include his own transcription, as Erdmann had conjectured. It turns out Jäsche never heard Kant lecture on logic—he was never in Königsberg when they were being held! (xxvi, n. 29). The resulting controversies delayed the publication of the Jäsche logic in vol. IX from 1908 until 1923, after the 1914 publication in the Nachlass division of the notes on which it was based. Dilthey's projected Vorlesungen division itself was called into question by Benno Erdmann, Dilthey's successor as Akademie-Ausgabe general editor. Erdmann recognized the questionable nature of the Jäsche logic and the other compilations, but considered Dilthey's aim for a "critically secured" edition of the lecture manuscripts as "hopeless." Still, interest in the manuscripts resulted in their piecemeal publication independently of the Akademie-Ausgabe, and when the Nachlass division's publication had been completed in 1955, the Vorlesungen division was resurrected. Vol. XXIV (in two parts) appeared in 1966; it contained the logics Blomberg, Philippi, Pölitz, Busolt, Dohna-Wundlacken and the Vienna logic, the short logic Herder, and fragments of the lost logics Hintz and Hoffmann. The Pinder volumes reviewed here contain the logics Bauch, Hechsel, and the Warsaw logic. What exactly are the manuscripts in question? If Kant had been concerned merely to explicate Meier, his students could perhaps have been content with their marginal notes in the text and a few further ones for elucidation. But...

Gödel's Path from the Incompleteness Theorems (1931) To Phenomenology (1961)

In a lecture manuscript written around 1961 (Gödel *1961/?), Gödel describes a philosophical path from the incompleteness theorems to Husserl's phenomenology. It is known that Gödel began to study Husserl's work in 1959 and that he continued to do so for many years. During the 1960s, for example, he recommended the sixth investigation of Husserl's Logical Investigations to several logicians for its treatment of categorial intuition (Wang 1997, p. 164). While Gödel may not have been satisfied with what he was able to obtain from philosophy and Husserl's phenomenology, he nonetheless continued to recommend Husserl's work to logicians as late as the 1970s. In this paper I present and discuss the kinds of arguments that led Gödel to the work of Husserl. Among other things, this should help to shed additional light on Gödel's philosophical and scientific ideas and to show to what extent these ideas can be viewed as part of a unified philosophical outlook. Some of the arguments that led Gödel to Husserl's work are only hinted at in Gödel's 1961 paper, but they are developed in much more detail in Gödel's earlier philosophical papers (see especially 1934, *193?, 1944, 1947, *1951, *1953/59). In particular, I focus on arguments concerning Hilbert's program and an early version of Carnap's program.§1. Some ideas from phenomenology. Since Husserl's work is not generally known to mathematical logicians, it may be helpful to mention briefly a few details about his background.

Recent history of European psychiatry--ideas, developments, and personalities: the annual Eliot Slater Lecture.

Erik Strömgren had planned to revise and expand his Slater lecture to a more systematic and comprehensive paper for publication. Shortly before his death, he asked for the editorial opinion of one of us (IIG), but unfortunately he did not get the opportunity to complete his lecture manuscript. We find, however, that although kaleidoscopic and impressionistic, the manuscript, as it is, contains historic and autobiographical information of high value, which deserves a posthumous publication, for availability to a broader audience. His wife, Dr. Lizzie Sand Strömgren, has kindly released the manuscript, which here appears essentially as delivered at the Slater lecture in 1986, except for a few minor textual adaptions and the addition of a list of references (by A.B.).

Thomas Reid's rhetorical theory: A manuscript report

Thomas Reid's thoughts about discourse are objects of some interest, but his decision not to publish his lectures on rhetoric has denied scholars access to reliable information. Reid's lecture manuscripts have been located in a previously uncatalogued collection at the University of Aberdeen. This essay outlines the principal features of his theory of discourse as they appear in the manuscripts. These features include the claim that eloquence is a fine art, the definition of rhetoric as the art of adapting discourse to fulfill the speaker's intention, an examination of the different kinds of discourse, and attention to the classical canons of rhetoric. The distinctive character of Reid's rhetorical theory results from his attention to fundamental philosophical problems.
