Site Section: TRANSCENDENTAL METHOD in Communication with Other Theory

Transcendental Method in Communication with Other Theory

DESCRIPTION

Here, we draw on transcendental method , etc., to dialogue-with, compare, and critique the thought of other philosophers and those in other fields who address philosophical issues. Of particular interest is to work from a personally discovered transcultural base to integrate method in all human studies, and the human in all sciences.

We invite participants to question and to share and discuss your explorations of methodological issues in particular disciplines. Typical fields would include psychology, sociology, economics, historiography, aesthetics, ethics, cultural anthropology, philosophy, theology, the arts, the natural sciences, and any subsets or combinations of these.

GOALS

TO critique general empirical method, etc., to explore the import of transcendental method on other formal philosophical fields, e.g., cognitional theory, ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, hermeneutics, aesthetics, theology, etc.

TO interface TM-the-theory developments with other fields and other writers through fostering a critical dialogue with educators, scholars, scientists, and thinkers in every theoretical field, e.g., sociology, psychology, history, etc.

EXAMPLE of content: excerpts from and dialogue about Joseph Fitzpatrick's book: Philosophical Encounters--Lonergan and the Analytic Tradition (UTP, 2005).
