  • Hölderlin’s and Novalis’ Philosophical Beginnings (1795)

    Open AccessManfred FrankARTICLEHumanities2025

    Philosophers and literary scholars have notoriously struggled with the periodization of Hölderlin’s work, showing particular reluctance to situate it within Early Romanticism. But there can be no doubt that Hölderlin’s philosophical work resides within the context of an anti-foundationalist criticism, which students of Karl Leonhard Reinhold leveled at his programmatic deduction from a “highest principle” (oberster Grundsatz) in the early 1790s a…

  • In Defence of Pre-Reflective Self-Consciousness

    Open AccessManfred FrankARTICLEReview of Philosophy and Psychology2022

    In the 1960s, a school formed in Heidelberg around Dieter Henrich that criticized—with reference to J. G. Fichte—the ‘reflection model’ of self-consciousness according to which self-consciousness consists in a representational relation between two mental states or the self-representation of a mental state. I present a new “Heidelberg perspective” of pre-reflective self-consciousness. According to this new approach, self-consciousness occurs in tw…

  • Autoconsciência e autoconhecimento

    Open AccessManfred FrankARTICLERevista Ética e Filosofia Política2021

    É uma descrição sóbria o fato de que nenhuma voz filosófica da filosofia alemã pós-fascista em todo o mundo, sobretudo nos Estados Unidos, é levada tão a sério, discutida tão profundamente e admirada por tantos quanto a habermasiana. Isto não se deve apenas ao espírito democrático fundamental (raro na tradição alemã) que respira a partir dela. Nenhuma outra posição filosófica hoje presente reagiu com comparável flexibilidade e amplitude às mudanç…

  • From “Fichte’s Original Insight” to a Moderate Defence of Self-Representationalism

    Manfred Frank, ProtoSociology ProjectARTICLEProtoSociology2019

    Fifty years ago, Dieter Henrich wrote an influential little text on ‘Fichte’s Origi­nal Insight’. Seldom so much food for thought has been put in a nutshell. The essay, bearing such an unremarkable title, delivers a diagnosis of why two hundred years of penetrating thought about the internal structure of subjectivity have ended up so fruitless. Henrich’s point was: Self-consciousness cannot be explained as the result of a higher-order act, bendin…

  • Are There Rationally Undecidable Arguments

    Manfred Frank, Barry Allen et al.ARTICLECommon Knowledge2019

    Frank in this article treats the disagreement between François Lyotard and Jürgen Habermas over whether there are arguments that cannot be decided rationally. Lyotard identifies rational undecidability as the "postmodern condition." Habermas objects that reasonable procedures do exist that are adequate for the resolution of any argument among reasonable participants. Frank judges Lyotard's argument as unpersuasive yet blames Habermas for dismissi…

  • Poetik und Hermeneutik im Rückblick

    R Lachmann, Jürgen Schlaeger et al.BOOKPoetik und Hermeneutik im Rückblick2017

    Die interdisziplinäre Forschungsgruppe »Poetik und Hermeneutik« und ihre Mitglieder haben die geistes- und kulturwissenschaftliche Landschaft der alten Bundesrepublik geprägt wie vielleicht sonst nur noch die Kritische Theorie. Zahlreiche Interviews mit den wichtigsten noch lebenden Akteuren erlauben einen ebenso erkenntnisreichen wie unterhaltsamen Blick hinter die Kulissen von Poetik & Hermeneutik. Unter welchen Bedingungen und mit welchen Absi…

    Gérard Raulet, Raimar Zons et al.BOOKMythos - Geist - Kultur2013

    In den Begriffen Mythos, Geist und Kultur spiegeln sich die thematische Breite und der innere Zusammenhang des Denkens von Christoph Jamme, dem diese Festschrift gewidmet ist. Die versammelten Beiträge, unter anderem zur mythischen Rationalität und ihrer Transformation in der Moderne, zum deutschen Idealismus, zur Kulturtheorie und zu verschiedenen kulturellen Objektivationen in Literatur und Malerei, zeigen prismatisch die vielfältigen Formen de…

  • Fragments of a History of the Theory of Self-Consciousness from Kant to Kierkegaard

    Manfred FrankARTICLECritical Horizons2004Cited by: 5

    In the development of modern philosophy self-consciousness was not generally or unanimously given important consideration. This was because philosophers such as Descartes, Kant and Fichte thought it served as the highest principle from which we can ‘deduce’ all propositions that rightly claimed validity. However, the Romantics thought that the consideration of self-consciousness was of the highest importance even when any claim to foundationalism…
