Anomalous monism and mental causality : on the debate of Donald Davidson’s philosophy of the mental
No full textThe English version of the first chapter of Erwin Rogler and Gerhard Preyer: Materialismus, anomaler Monismus und mentale Kausalität. Zur gegenwärtigen Philosophie des Mentalen bei Donald Davidson und David Lewis (2001) "Anomaler Monismus und Mentale Kausalität. Ein Beitrag zur Debatte über Donald Davidsons Philosophie des Mentalen" is a contribution to the current debates on the philosophy of the mental and mental causality initiated from Donald Davidson's philosophy with his article "Mental Events" (1970). It is the intent of the English version to give a response to the controversy among American, British and Australian philosophers in the context of a global exchange of ideas on problems understanding the mental. Contents 1. Preliminary Remarks 2. The Critique of Property-Epiphenomenalism and Counterarguments (a) The Enlargement of Nomological Reasoning (b) The Counterfactual Analysis (c) Supervenient Causality 3. Are Mental Properties real or unreal (fictive)? Abstract Things and events are fundamental entities in Davidson's ontology. Less distinct is the ontological status of properties, especially of mental types. Despite of some eliminative allusions there are weighty reasons to understand Davidson's philosophy of mind as including intentional realism. With it, the question of mental causality arises. There are two striking solutions to this problem: the epiphenomenalism of mental properties and the downward causation of mental events. Davidson cannot accept either. He claims to justify the mental as supervenient causality in order to thus integrate it into physicalism (his version of monism). But his argument at best proves the explanatory, not the causal relevance of mental properties. For this and for other reasons, Davidson fails the aspired synthesis of a sufficiently strong physicalism and the autonomy of the mental; a project whose realization is anyhow hard to achieve
Audiomobiles, Sculptures and Conundrums
No full textRoberto Gerhard was a pioneer of electronic music in England creating a number of substantial concert, theatre and radio works from as early as 1954. Gerhard’s electronic music is one of the richest repositories for understanding the development of the composer’s late compositional technique. Apart from the Symphony no.3, ‘Collages’, none of Gerhard’s electronic music is published. This paper will discuss aspects of Gerhard’s electronic music, focusing on Audiomobiles (1958-59) and Sculptures (1963)
Roberto Gerhard’s Sound Compositions: A Historical-Philological Perspective. Archive, Process, Intent and reenactment
No full textThis research advances the current state of knowledge in the field of early tape music both empirically and methodologically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that the electronic medium exerted in the musical thinking of Roberto Gerhard, one of the most outspoken, prolific and influential composers in the Spanish diaspora whose musical legacy, for the most part unknown, is a major landmark in the early history of electroacoustic music. Gerhard’s personal tape collection, one of the largest historical archives of its kind reported in the literature, is exceptional for both its antiquity (50+-year-old tapes) and its abundance of production materials. Through the digitisation and analysis of the composer’s tape collection this research argues that the empirical study of audio documents sets out a basis for a broader understanding of textual processes. More specifically, the research demonstrates that the reconstruction of works based on magnetic tape sketches is a powerful method to advance the understanding of early tape music. This research also examines Gerhard’s sound compositions in relation to the post-war context in which they were composed. Finally, this research presents performance documentation that proposes an approach to the electroacoustic music repertoire in which creativity is not at odds with rigor and critical discernment demonstrating that archival study can be closely aligned to the concept of re-enactment

Gerhard Schumann : biography, work, effect of a prominent Nazi author
Full text linkIn meiner Dissertation zu dem Thema "Gerhard Schumann - Biographie. Werk. Wirkung eines prominenten nationalsozialistischen Autors" habe ich Gerhard Schumanns Biographie, Werk sowie dessen Wirkung im Rahmen historischer Ereignisse dargestellt und analysiert, um einen Beitrag zur Erforschung des Nationalsozialismus und seiner Literatur zu leisten. Kontinuitäten innerhalb der Literatur des Autors vor 1933, zwischen 1933 und 1945 sowie nach 1945 sollen dabei herausgestellt werden. Zentrale Themen und Motive im Werk des Autors werden aufgezeigt.Biographie, Gesamtwerk und Wirkung des Autors Gerhard Schumann sind auf der Grundlage von zeitgenössischem Quellenmaterial untersucht worden. Dies liegt in Form von Zeitungsartikeln, Briefen, Gesetzestexten, Aktenmaterial und anderem vor. Dazu waren verschiedene Archivreisen notwendig, um das Material zu sichten, zu sammeln und auszuwerten. Ich besuchte das Literaturarchiv in Marbach am Neckar, das Hölderlinarchiv in Stuttgart, das Stadt- und Universitätsarchiv in Tübingen, das Bundesarchiv in Koblenz mit den Außenstellen Berlin Lichterfelde, Freiburg im Breisgau und der Hauptstelle Koblenz sowie das Bayerische Staatsarchiv in München und das Archiv des Börsenvereins des Deutschen Buchhandels in Frankfurt am Main.Im Anschluss an die Biographie, die chronologisch den Lebensstationen Schumanns folgt, wird das Werk des Dichters, insbesondere seine nationalsozialistische Poetik, beschrieben, interpretiert und dessen Wirkung untersucht. Dabei werden Schumann und sein Werk in die Gruppe nationalsozialistischer Autoren, wie Anacker, Baumann, Bethge, Blunck, Euringer, Johst, Schauwecker, Vesper und von Scholz, eingeordnet. Ich gebe einen Gesamtüberblick über Schumanns Werk und analysiere die Hauptwerke des Autors genauer. Zu berücksichtigen ist, dass Schumanns Werk nicht als Gesamtausgabe vorliegt, und die Analyse nur entsprechend der vorhandenen Einzelausgaben erfolgen konnte. Dies lässt sich darauf zurückführen, dass er nicht den Popularitätsgrad besaß, wie zum Beispiel Hans Friedrich Blunck, für den die Blunck-Gesellschaft eine Gesamtausgabe herausgegeben hatte. Innerhalb der Werkbetrachtung, in der alle Schriften, die Schumann verfasste, berücksichtigt und die Hauptwerke näher analysiert werden, soll auf die Wirkung der Werke - vor allem der lyrischen und dramatischen - eingegangen werden. Von Bedeutsamkeit ist dabei, auf welche Weise sich seine lyrische Produktion nach 1945 von der früheren unterscheidet und inwieweit sich Parallelen aufzeigen lassen. Dabei findet ein Vergleich seiner Biographie mit der anderer nationalsozialistischer Autoren statt. Die Wirkung seiner Werke in dieser Zeit ist mit einzubeziehen und seine Rolle im kulturpolitischen Geschehen zu untersuchen.Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit möchte ich exemplarisch zeigen, dass Schumann - und er ist kein Einzelfall - als Lyriker und Kulturpolitiker des nationalsozialistischen Regimes zu sehen ist. Schumann gehörte zu einer Generation, die sich in den Dienst eines totalitären Systems stellte und ohne eine fundierte Ausbildung Karriere machte. Seine Lyrik hatte Propagandafunktion und trug dazu bei, das nationalsozialistische Herrschaftssystem zu etablieren und zu stützen. Ich gehe auf Schumanns Erfolg als Dichter ein, vor allem auf die Zeit zwischen 1939 und 1945, da während des Kriegs seine "Kriegs- und Reichslyrik" in hohen Stückzahlen aufgelegt wurde. Zunächst soll die nationalsozialistische Poetik am Beispiel Gerhard Schumanns dargestellt werden. Im Anschluss daran folgt die Thematisierung der frühen Kriegslyrik. Auch folgt ein allgemeines Kapitel zur Poetik des Nationalsozialismus am Beispiel Gerhard Schumanns. Am Ende der Forschungsarbeit gehe ich auf Schumanns Selbstverständnis als nationalsozialistischer Autor und die nationalsozialistische Poetik ein und mache deutlich, dass er einer der "prominenten" nationalsozialistischen Dichter war. Abschließend finden die späte Kriegslyrik und Dramatik Beachtung sowie eine Motivanalyse bezüglich des ´Führerkultes´ und der "Reichsthematik" bezogen auf das Gesamtwerk des Autors wird vorgenommen. Dabei erfolgt ein Vergleich mit der Biographie des Juristen Werner Best, durch den deutlich werden soll, dass die nationalsozialistischen Karrieren in den unterschiedlichen Bereichen Parallelen aufweisen. Die Untersuchung liefert eine Gesamtbibliographie des litearischen und essayistischen Werks, das Schumann vor, während und nach dem Nationalsozialismus verfasste. Auch gebe ich einen Überblick über die relevante Sekundärliteratur zur Gesamtthematik der vorliegenden Arbeit.In my dissertation "Gerhard Schumann - biography. Work. Effekt of a prominent Nazi author" I have described and analysed Gerhard Schumanns biography, work and its effect in the context of historical events in order to give a contribution for the research of National Socialism an his literature. Continuities within the literature of the author before 1933, from 1933 to 1945 and after 1945 will be shown. The main themes and motifs in the work of the author will be identified.Biographie, complete work and the effect of the author Gerhard Schumann has been investigated on the basis of contemporary source material. This exists in form of newspaper articles, letters, legal texts, reference material and others. I made different archives travels in order to sight the material, to collect and evaluate it. I visited the Literature archives in Marbach am Neckar, the Hölderlin archives in Stuttgart, the city and university archives and the archives of Hölderlin society in Tübingen, the Federal Archives in Koblenz with the field offices Lichterfelde Berlin, Freiburg im Breisgau and the main body Koblenz, the Bavarian State Archives in Munic and the archives of the Trade Association of German Book Trade in Frankfurt am Main.After the biography, which shows the chronological life stations of Gerhard Schumann, the analysis follows the work of the poet, in particular its Nazi poetry. This is described, analysed and examined on its effect. Schumann and his work will be classified in the group of Nazi-authors, like Anacker, Baumann, Bethge, Blunck, Euringer, Johst, Schauwecker, Vesper and von Scholz. I give an overview of Schumann´s work and analyse the major works of the author accurate. To take into account is, that Schumann´s work doesn´t exist as complete work, and the analysis only in accordance with the existing single expenditure. This can also lead back, that he hadn´t the degree of popularity, such as Hans Friedrich Blunck, the Blunck society issued a complete work of the author. Within the workshop consideration, in which all the books, Schumann wrote, and considered the main works closer, will analysed the effect of the works - especially the lyrical an dramatic - has taken place. Of significance is the manner, in which his lyrical production after 1945 distinguishes by the former and to show what extent are still parallels. I compare his biography with the biographies of other Nazi authors. The effect was his invention works in this time is involved with his role in the political culture.With this work I give an example, that Schumann, and he is not an isolated case - is to show as a poet and a politician for culture of the Nazi Regime. Schumann belonged to a generation, in the service of the National Socialism, who made without an education a strong career. His poetry had propaganda function and contributed to establish and support the National Socialism. Im going to show Schumann´s success as a poet, especially in the period from 1939 to 1945, during the war, because his ´war and imperial poetry´ existed in large quantities listed sets. So the Nazi poetics Gerhard Schumann presented the Nazi poetics. Following this is the issue of the early "war poetry". Also follows a general chapter on the poetics for National Socialism with the example Gerhard Schumann. At the end of the research work I go to Schumann´s self-image as a Nazi author and to the Nazi poetry and make it clear, that he was one of the ´prominent´ Nazi poets. Finally, the "late war poetry", a drama attention and a motive analysis on the "leadership cult" and "reach issues" to the main work of the author has been given. After that I make a comparison with the biography of the lawyer Werner Best with the clear aim to ensure, that the Nazi careers in different areas had parallels. The study provides a comprehensive bibliography of the literary and essayis work, that Schumann wrote before, during and after the National Socialism. Also I give an overview of the relevant literature to the general theme of this work
