The Concept of Social Philosophy by S.L. Frank. Experience of Comparative Analysis: G. Simmel, E. Husserl, M. Scheler

The article is a continuation of the study of the evolution of social thought by S.L. Frank, the results of which began to be published in the previous issue. This article deals with the concept of social philosophy of S.L. Frank, set forth in his work “The Spiritual Foundations of Society”. The main ideas of his concept are compared to the views of G. Simmel, E. Husserl, M. Scheler. The author comes to the conclusion that Frank’s socio-philosophical doctrine is based on the idea of a “god-like” (“theomorphic”) person, who gradually overcomes his empirical, innate-animal nature in society and history and comes into his own as a person in pursuit of God — the highest foundation of the universe. The social and spiritual being merge, according to Frank, into one ontological unity, which is founded in the being of man — in the history of his society as a “phenomenology of the spirit” and “the dramatic fate of God in the heart of man”, as well as in his “living knowledge” about himself as a “medium”, “conduit” of higher principles and values. The concept of Frank’s social philosophy was formed, according to the author, under the influence of G. Simmel’s “philosophical sociology”, E. Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology, and his philosophical anthropology is in many ways close to Scheler’s early philosophical ideas.

Constellation research and sociology of philosophy

Sociology of philosophy is the name of a theory-based, empirical sociological subdivision, whose basic approach is praxeological: doing philosophy involves a variety of socially situated practices that in some cases result in philosophical arguments and doctrines fixed in text. Constellation research is an approach developed by the German philosopher Dieter Henrich (1927–2022) for investigations into the history of philosophy. It combines a historical and a systematic intent and interest. Constellation research has primarily been tried out on the rapid development of post-Kantian idealism in Germany in the 1790s. The approach has some obvious similarities with different approaches within the sociology of philosophy. The article first gives a condensed presentation of constellation research as a research program. In a second step, it tries to sort out similarities and dissimilarities with key concepts, topics and approaches within the sociology of philosophy. The argument put forward is that constellation research can provide the sociology of philosophy with some novel ideas and that the sociology of philosophy may prove to be a useful resource to constellation research. In short, there is a potential for cross-fertilization between the two approaches.

S.L. Frank on the Path to Social Philosophy: Experience of Comparative Analysis: G. Simmel, E. Husserl, M. Scheler

The article discusses the evolution of the views of S.L. Frank (1877–1950) on society and culture up until he created a completed socio-philosophical doctrine in 1929. A comparative textologically substantiated analysis of his views with the views of G. Simmel, E. Husserl, M. Scheler is carried out. The author shows that Frank, who adhered to psychologism in his methodology until 1915, makes a choice in favor of Neoplatonism, the latest form of which he finds in Husserl’s transcendental philosophy. The author believes that the concepts of Frank’s social philosophy were formed, among other things, under the influence of G. Simmel’s principles of “philosophical sociology”, E. Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology, and his philosophy of social cognition is surprisingly close to M. Scheler’s phenomenological sociology.

Pergeseran Etika Tata Krama di Lingkungan Keluarga Suku Jawa Desa Mangga Dua Kec. Tanjung Beringin Kab. Serdang Bedagai

Is there a model for symbolic revolution? Bourdieu’s theory in Manet and a comparison with a case study: the Generation of 1914 in Spain

The courses that Bourdieu dedicates to Manet help to better understand the link between cultural production, political position and social trajectory. Nevertheless, Bourdieu does not always fully clarify his position. In this article, first we will clarify what Bourdieu considers to be a model for symbolic revolutions. To do so, Manet's courses are revisited and their links with Bourdieu’s work in general and, more specifically, with his sociology of philosophy are made explicit. After that, we will examine Bourdieu's assertions about scholasticism or academicism in the sociology of culture, its importance in symbolic revolutions, and how his proposal encourages a specific view on the history of cultural productions, especially the philosophical ones. Then, Bourdieu's model of symbolic revolution will be tested by comparing it with a study with statistical treatment of data in a different and significant historical context: the Generation of ‘14 in Spain. Finally, we will propose some nuances and developments to Bourdieu's model based on the conclusions of that study.

Comparative Law As A Critical Tool For Legal Research In Arab Countries: A Comparative Study on Contractual Balance

Montesquieu frequently used analogies from antiquity, the English political system, or the Chinese legal system in his classic work 'De l'esprit des lois'. To conduct and convey legal research more effectively, it is not sufficient to analyze a single system. Through real-world experiences, exposure to the legal environment enables the development of a particular cultural and sociological philosophy of the rule of law. We believe that comparative law is a challenging discipline to situate. It takes a social science and a legal perspective. According to Édouard Lambert, comparative law has two conceptions: one in which it is viewed as a social science, and another in which it is viewed as a higher kind of legal art. To distinguish between these two ideas, he asserts that the first "social" approach places a premium on comparative history, whilst the second "legal" approach focuses on comparative legislation, specifically on the legal systems of distinct peoples.

Methodologies of Memory Studies and Sociology of Philosophy in the Study of the History of Philosophy and Science

While interest towards Memory Studies has long been popular when it comes to studying cultural traditions and social groups, the field of science (scientific traditions) describes issues using the traditional language of history, philosophy and sociology of science. This happens despite Memory Studies potentially being a productive asset in this problem field. This paper brings together Memory Studies and R. Collins’ sociology of philosophy, while presenting a new strategy for problematization based on the history of philosophy. Memory Studies and sociology of philosophies are presented as two complementary approaches that have interdisciplinary prospects for understanding the methodological problems of the humanities in general and philosophy in particular. The foundations of the approaches are analyzed, a comparative analysis is conducted of the conceptual apparatus, examples of explication of sociological tools in the field of current philosophical discussions are considered. How does philosophy work with the past, how does the “past-present” dialectic unfold in the community of philosophers, how do mnemonic practices determine the lines of power in this field? How are “sacred texts” selected in academic communities, what role do mnemonic practices play when it comes to generational bonds? What sort of practices circulate in the community in terms of condemning or accepting figures from the past? All of these issues are analyzed in the study, based on the concepts of Memory Studies and sociology of philosophy while invoking the ideas of R. Collins’ critics, as well as methodological historical and philosophical works. The approach offered by the author makes it possible to expand Memory Studies and sociology of philosophy into the field of history of philosophy and lay the foundations for such studies in the history, sociology and philosophy of science.

Phenomenological Enthymeme in V.N. Voloshinov’s Marxist Sociology of Poetics. Using the Example of an Article titled “Word in Life and Word in Poetry...”

On the example of the article “Word in Life and Word in Poetry. On the Issues of Sociological Poetics” (1926), the author analyzes the sociological methodology used by V.N. Voloshinov (M.M. Bakhtin) in a number of publications in the 1920’s and first utilized in this article. The methodology is declared to be Marxist. It is proven that it cannot be unequivocally identified with the Marxist variety, since it does not fully correspond to the fundamental principles of the teachings of K. Marx and F. Engels. The Voloshinov-Bakhtin methodology reveals a conceptual and subject-thematic affinity with Max Scheler’s phenomenological sociology. The author believes that the article attempts to combine two philosophical methodologies within a single humanitarian-scientific study. A double comparative analysis is conducted by the author in the context of the results of researching the life and work of M.M. Bakhtin in order to expand the cultural and scientific research space in the history of Russian philosophical sociology.

How Did Philosophy of Science Come About?

Recent research has brought to light numerous facts that go against received views of the development of philosophy of science. One encounters several concepts, claims, or projects much earlier than is generally acknowledged. Auguste Comte was careful to distinguish each major science with respect to method and object, speaking of mathematical philosophy, biological philosophy, sociological philosophy, and so forth. He thereby in a sense anticipated the regionalist turn: philosophical analysis should be carried out with respect to a specific body of knowledge. He also adopted a general perspective, a scientific philosophy. In the light of new discoveries, later thinkers such as Pierre Duhem, Gaston Milhaud, and Abel Rey endeavored to reformulate Comte’s doctrine as a neopositivism, a logical positivism, or an absolute positivism. The aim of this article is to examine the constitutive concepts mentioned and the controversies that hinge on them, in an effort to reach a precise understanding of the aim, scope, and import of philosophy of science in the context of nineteenth-century France.

Human Dignity and Power: Worker Struggles against Precarity in U.S. Agribusiness

While precarious employment expands, instances of workers improving employment standards motivate examination of the dynamics of advancing decent work. This article analyzes cases of workers shifting from precarious toward decent work in U.S. agribusiness. Building on bargaining-power theory from industrial relations and human development theory from sociological philosophy, it finds that workers build power resources sequentially and by demanding human dignity. The cases reveal a framework of power building by workers facing precarious work in which progress is catalyzed by the recognition of workers’ capacity to participate in the rules to which they are subjected. The framework suggests an explication for precarious employment’s growth and decline.

Этические и образовательные идеалы в философской социологии знания Макса Шелера

The paper analyzes M. Scheler᾿s doctrine of three types of knowledge – positive, aimed at achieving pragmatic goals; essential, educational, aimed at personal development; and metaphysical, salvific, striving to comprehend the highest basis of being. It is substantiated that the ideals of these types of knowledge are a scientist, a sage, a saint. The scientist’s goal is to obtain natural science and social and humanitarian knowledge for the use of things and domination over people. The sage’s goal is to comprehend the essential structure of the universe. He transforms essential knowledge into educational knowledge, thereby creating the basis for personality formation. The saint’s goal is to obtain metaphysical knowledge about the Absolute, which becomes saving knowledge. It is emphasized that in the historical perspective M. Scheler puts forward the educational ideal of the “whole human” as a free all-round self-formation of the individual. The philosopher connects the achievement of the “whole human” ideal in modern history with the processes of “equalization” of all physical, mental and spiritual characteristics inherent in individuals and groups; national, ethnic and racial differences; male and female types of thinking; mentality, cultural characteristics of peoples, countries and continents; characteristic features of capitalism and socialism, etc.

Some remarks on the contribution of Amedeo Giovanni Conte to a philosophical sociology of law

Although Amedeo Giovanni Conte investigated questions relevant to legal sociology through several decades of studies and discussions, his works specifically addressed to a philosophical sociology of law were mainly written between 2000 and 2011. Through these works Conte has noticeably contributed to shape some basic categories for legal sociology in different areas: the relationship between norm and action, the problem of inference of rules from observed behaviour, the principle of effectiveness, the relationship between law and language. This arti-cle discusses Conte's theory of nomotropism (acting in function of rules) also in the light of the Friedmanian theory of the impact of law. Conte's research, since it is addressed to the elaboration of basic categories which can be used by other scholars to undertake either theoret-ical or empirical investigations, could be conceived of as a contribution towards a pure (reine) sociology of law.

Doing philosophical sociology in troubled times: a reply to Simon Susen

ABSTRACT In this intervention, I reply to Simon Susen’s review of myDebating Humanity. Towards a Philosophical Sociology. I am thankful for his detailed reading but contend that this discussion is a missed opportunity. The main thrust of my margument is that sociology is at a critical crossroads: it either goes back to its philosophical roots and develops a more urgent sense of its role in understanding some pressing normative challenges of our times, or else it runs the risk of irrelevance. Yet Susen’s review focuses on taxonomic distinctions that revolve mostly around themselves and thus fails to raise substantive questions.

Intimations of humanity and the case for a philosophical sociology

ABSTRACTThe main purpose of this article is to examine central issues discussed by Daniel Chernilo in his Debating Humanity: Towards a Philosophical Sociology (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2017). To this end, the analysis is divided into two parts. The first part, in addition to giving a brief overview of the book’s thematic structure, considers some of its key arguments. The second part scrutinizes its most controversial aspects and highlights its principal limitations. By way of conclusion, the paper argues that Chernilo’s study is a powerful reminder of the fact that a truly comprehensive understanding of society requires a critical engagement with the concept of humanity.
