Pravilno branje fenomenov

Merleau-Pontyjevo eksistencialistično pojmovanje indukcije

Martin Justin (Author), Sebastjan Vörös (Mentor)

Abstract

Diplomsko delo predstavi pojmovanje indukcije francoskega filozofa Mauricea Merleau-Pontyja, kot se to kaže v luči njegove kritike teorije indukcije britanskega filozofa Johna Stuarta Milla. Izhajam iz ugotovitve, da je bistvo Merleau-Pontyjevega razumevanja indukcije zajeto v trditvi: »Prava induktivna metoda ni 'metoda razlik', [ampak gre za] pravilno branje fenomenov, razumevanje njihovega smisla, tj. obravnavanje le-teh kot modalnosti in variacij subjektove celotne biti.« V drugem poglavju je tako natančno analiziran prvi, negativni del te sintagme, pri čemer je najprej natančneje predstavljena Millova teorija, nato pa Merleau-Pontyjeva kritika le-te. V tretjem poglavju je analiziran pozitivni del Merleau-Pontyjevega argumenta: v splošnih obrisih je predstavljeno njegovo pojmovanje znanosti, v nadaljevanju poglavja pa je predstavljeno, kako v tem kontekstu indukcijo razume s pomočjo pojma bistvogledja nemškega filozofa Edmunda Husserla. V četrtem poglavju je Merleau-Pontyjeva teorija kritično pretresena. Naloga sklene z ugotovitvijo, da lahko Merleau-Pontyjevo pojmovanje indukcije razumemo predvsem kot eksistencialistično alternativo empiristični in transcendentalistični utemeljitvi indukcije.

Secondary title:	Correctly Reading Phenomena: Merleau-Ponty's Existentialist Conception of Induction
Secondary abstract:	Undergraduate thesis explicates a theory of induction introduced by a French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty in the light of his critique of John Stuart Mill’s theory of eliminative induction. It starts with an observation that Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of induction can be summarized by the statement that “the genuine inductive method is not a ‘method of differences,’ [but] it consists in correctly reading phenomena, in grasping their sense, that is in treating them as modalities and variations of the subject’s total being.” In chapter 2, the first, negative, part of the claim is analyzed in detail, first by presenting Mill’s theory and then by presenting Merleau-Ponty’s critique of it. In chapter 3, the second, positive, part of the claim is interpreted: after outlining Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of science, it is shown how he conceptualizes induction with the help of Edmund Husserl’s concept of intuition of essences. In chapter 4, Merleau-Ponty’s theory is critically evaluated. The thesis concludes that Merleau-Ponty’s conception can be understood as an existentialist alternative to empiricist and transcendentalist conceptions of induction.
