  • To Account for the Appearances: Phenomenology and Existential Change in Aristotle and Plato

    John RussonARTICLEJournal of the British Society…2021References: 14

    I begin by highlighting central texts from Aristotle that demonstrate both an appreciation of the rich coupling of subject and object that has been the subject of much of the most exciting and innovative phenomenological work and a fundamental methodological commitment to answering to the terms of experience. I then turn to Plato’s dramatic portrayals of Socrates’ distinctive practice—the “Socratic method”—first to document the subtlety that Socr…

  • Hegel and Canada: Unity of Opposites?

    Daniel Brandes, John Burbidge et al.BOOKHegel and Canada2018

    Hegel and Canada is a collection of essays that analyses the real, but under-recognized, role Hegel has played in the intellectual and political development of Canada. The volume focuses on the generation of Canadian scholars who emerged after World War Two: James Doull, Emil Fackenheim, George Grant, Henry S. Harris, and Charles Taylor.

  • Reexamining Socrates in the Apology

    Patricia Fagan, John RussonBOOKReexamining Socrates in the Apology2011

    An oracle was reported to have said, 'No one is wiser than Socrates'. And in fact it was Socrates' life's work to interpret these words, which demanded and defined the practice of philosophy. Each of these original essays attends carefully to the specifics of the Apology, looking to its dramatic details, its philosophic teaching, and its complexity as a work of writing to bring into focus the 'Socrates' of the Apology. Overall, the contributors, …

  • Reading Hegel's Phenomenology

    John Russon, John Edward RussonBOOKReading Hegel's Phenomenology…2004

    Russon's book differs in two ways from other commentaries on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. First, Russon (Univ. of Guelph) considers only the arguments in that text, rather than discussing its literary allusions or historical context. Second, Russon provides independent studies of the arguments in each section of Hegel's text. Whereas it is generally claimed that any part of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit can only be comprehended by understan…

  • Hegel and the Tradition: Essays in Honour of H.S. Harris

    Michael Baur, John RussonBOOKHegel and the Tradition1998

    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) is considered a philosopher of the Tradition, both in the sense that his work is rooted in the political, artistic, religious, and philosophical traditions of European culture and in the sense that he takes up the notion of tradition as an object of philosophical investigation. This collection examines Hegel's philosophy as it bears on the meaning and relevance of tradition - historical, legal, aesthetic,…

  • The Recovery of the Soul: An Aristotelian Essay on Self-Fulfilment

    John Russon, Kenneth Rankin et al.ARTICLEPhoenix1994

    In The Recovery of the Soul, Kenneth Rankin suggests that the current impasse over solutions to many philosophical problems is the result, in part, of a failure to consider how each of these problems bears on the rest. Rankin shows that a libertarian theory of free will, an A-theory of time, a corporealist theory of personal identity, and a non-relativist interpretation of the foundation of ethics all contribute to or are derived from a psychocen…
