Habits. Pragmatist Approaches from Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and Social Theory
No full textThis book evaluates the potential that the pragmatist notion of habit possesses to influence current debates at the crossroads between philosophy, cognitive sciences, neurosciences, and social theory. It deals with the different aspects of the pragmatic turn involved in 4E cognitive science and traces back the roots of such a pragmatic turn to both classical and contemporary pragmatism. Written by renowned philosophers, cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, and social theorists, this volume fills the need for an interdisciplinary account of the role of 'habit'. Researchers interested in the philosophy of mind, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, social theory, and social ontology will need this book to fully understand the pragmatist turn in current research on mind, action and society
Life and Action in Ethics and in Politics
No full textThe symposium on Michael Thompson's "Life and Action, is organized according to the threefold
partition of the book. As for part one, Paolo Costa focuses on
the logical and metaphysical understanding of “life-form” and
relates it to similar approaches in philosophical anthropology. As
for part two, Constantine Sandis examines the role of simple past
and progressive tenses in the naïve theory of action and contrasts
it with alternative contemporary approaches in action theory.
Matteo Bianchin questions Thompson’s rejection of folk
psychological accounts by focusing on phenomenal intentionality
and action planning. As for part three, Arto Laitinen considers
Thompson’s understanding of practices as a source of goodness
in the light of the Hegelian distinction between Moralität und
Sittlichkeit. Italo Testa discusses Thompson’s anti-individualist
account of dispositions and social practices, and assesses its
relevance for social philosophy and social ontology. Ingrid
Salvatore interrogates Thompson’s understanding of Rawls’s
“Two concepts of Rule” and rule-like practices
The Pragmatist Reappraisal of Habit in Contemporary Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and Social Theory
No full textIn this essay we sketch the role that the
notion of habit has played in the work of pragmatist authors such as James,
Peirce, and Dewey, and give an account of its ambivalent role in the development
of psychology and of cognitive sciences from James’s introspectionism, through
behaviorism and computationalism, up to 4E cognition and its rediscovery of
a pragmatist action-oriented stance to cognition. We then investigate in the
second section how the abandonment of the notion of habit in cognitive sciences
in the second half of the twentieth century was paralleled by the adoption of a
dualism between automatic routine and intelligent action and by an approach
to cognition based on the notion of mental representation. This notion was
subsequently put under pressure by the emerging paradigm of 4E cognition,
whose push toward an antirepresentationalist turn is leading to a reassessment of
the notion of habit. In the third section we explore how habit formation has been
investigated within contemporary neuroscience in a dynamic perspective based
on the interplay between automatism and goal-oriented behavior. This section
highlights the role that the pragmatist ideomotor principle plays in autoptic
and pragmatic coding approaches to cortical motor systems, and how recent
research on mirror neurons pragmatically links action with social cognition
and cultural practices. In the fourth section we see how the adoption of the
dualism between rational action and mechanical routines also influenced the
development of twentieth-century sociological thought, and is nowadays being
reconsidered by social theory

Immanent Critique of Capitalism as a Form of Life. On Rahel Jaeggi’s Critical Theory
No full textAn immanent critique of capitalism as a form of life: this is one of the crucial points of the new critical theory proposed by Rahel Jaeggi, and it is to this conceptual point, which includes various themes, that the present special issue of Critical Horizons is mainly devoted.
This special issue offers some considerations above all of Jaeggi’s programme aimed at developing the key features of an immanent critique of capitalism as a form of life – rather than on topics like alienation, solidarity or progress. More particularly, at the heart of our critical discussions there are five basic theoretical elements to this research programme: immanent critique, the critique of ideology, the critique of capitalism, the concept of form of life, and the economy in a wide sense. In so doing, in the pages of Critical Horizons we have continued the critical discussion started in a workshop held at the University of Parma in 2017, which started from five of Jaeggi’s essays devoted to these five topics, collected by Marco Solinas in a book entitled Forms of Life and Capitalism.5Introduction to the Special Issue of the journal "Critical Horizons" dedicate do Rahel's Jaeggi social philosoph

HEGEL CRITICO E SCETTICO. ILLUMINISMO, REPUBBLICANESIMO E ANTINOMIA ALLE ORIGINI DELLA DIALETTICA
No full textIlluminismo, repubblicanesimo e scetticismo indicano tre periodi distinti e successivi dell’itinerario speculativo del giovane Hegel. Ma indicano anche, in modo certamente più significativo, tre correnti di pensiero la cui confluenza storica e teorica in Hegel diviene la spinta decisiva per quel ripensamento relazionale della razionalità che starà alla base della elaborazione dialettica successiva.
Il saggio di Italo Testa ripercorre e analizza questi tre momenti secondo il filo conduttore dell’intersoggettività: la ragione viene così definita come un “ritrovare se stesso negli altri”, un “riconoscersi in ogni essere razionale”. È per questa via che Hegel può affrontare, in una nuova prospettiva, anche quel problema di una riforma dei “rapporti pubblici” che lo aveva tenuto occupato sin dagli anni di Stoccarda. L’incontro con la scepsi antica, in particolare, spinge Hegel non a disfarsi della ragione, bensì a ricostruirla a tutti i livelli in termini non dualistici e relazionali. Nella consapevolezza, d’altra parte, che la traduzione intersoggettiva della razionalità incorpora in essa, come suo momento costitutivo, quell’elemento conflittuale la cui necessità si è rivelata a Hegel sotto le forme delle dialettiche dell’illuminismo e della repubblica, della lotta per il riconoscimento e dell’antinomicità scettico-antica della ragione
