Benjamin Höijer : Metafysik, estetik, historia
- 2021. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- I nära dialog med Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte och Friedrich Schelling utvecklade Benjamin Höijer kring sekelskiftet 1800 ett filosofiskt system som i samtiden väckte stor uppmärksamhet i inte bara Sverige utan också Tyskland. Hans huvudverk, Avhandling om den filosofiska konstruktionen, recenserades lyriskt av Schelling, som konstaterade att dess författare ”förtjänar en rang bland de sanna tänkarna”.Benjamin Höijer. Metafysik, estetik, historia ger en bred presentation av denna numera i hög grad bortglömde filosof. Här kan man läsa om Höijers modernitetsbegrepp och hur han förhöll sig till de samtida tyska idealisterna, om hans konstfilosofi och syn på historieskrivningens uppgifter liksom hans betydelse för Per Daniel Amadeus Atterbom och andra svenska romantiker. Fram träder en komplex bild av den första moderna svenska filosofen.

Det absoluta och det gemensamma : Benjamin Höijers konstfilosofi
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis is the first interpretation of Benjamin Höijer’s philosophy of art. Höijer (1767–1812), who was a Swedish representative of German idealism, is considered one of the brightest thinkers in the history of Swedish philosophy, although to this day he has been largely neglected. His writings offer one of the first systematic philosophies of art in the history of Western philosophy. In focus are the two themes of metaphysics and politics, and the thesis strives for an exploration of the speculative concept of the absolute – a key term of Höijer’s work. The method is twofold: a hermeneutical one, which concerns a careful reading of Höijer’s text and a contextualisation of his thought, and a more productive one, which seeks an activation of concepts and themes in Höijer. The study underlines the connection of his concept of the absolute to its supposed opposites: the relative, multiplicity, change, sensuality, and the common – the second main term of the thesis. For Höijer, one of the most important manifestations of the absolute in the world is the work of art. The thesis investigates how artistic creation, artworks, and aesthetic experience can be understood in relation to Höijer’s concept of the absolute and considers what new perspectives on art follow from this. Art also has an essential connection to politics, morality, and society in Höijer, and the thesis explores how his reflections can be understood as a profound critique of modernity. The quest for a better society through cultivation is at the heart of Höijer’s philosophical work. By focusing on Höijer as a political thinker, the thesis also offers a political reading of his metaphysics. The organism, a central concept of his metaphysics and philosophy of art, is interpreted in relation to a vision of a free and equal society. By focusing on the concepts of suffering and compassion – essential to the emergence of thought, society, and art in Höijer – the study furthermore reads his metaphysics as relational and sensuous. Thus, in this first interpretation of both Höijer’s philosophy of art and several of his central metaphysical works, a unique idealism unfolds.

Kultiveringens politik : Martha Nussbaum, antiken och filosofins praktik
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Politics of Cultivation is a study on how the American philosopher Martha Nussbaum actualizes Ancient political philosophy to re-negotiate core assumptions in her own contemporary ethical-political discussions. The aim is to explore the potentiality Nussbaum discerns in Ancient philosophy and how this potentiality is actualized in her thoughts on cultivation as a critique of what she sees as reductive cultures of knowledge. Also, I highlight what Nussbaum’s philosophical practice can contribute to a Swedish discourse on bildning as resistance. Following Nussbaum’s philosophy of cultivation from her first articles on Heraclitus in 1972 to her recent work, I focus on how she emphasizes the role of sensibility, sexuality and emotions for reason. The thesis is divided in six chapters. The first chapter gives an overview of cultivation as a recurrent theme throughout Nussbaum’s authorship. In the second chapter I explore her reading of Heraclitus and how this reading highlight her philosophy of cultivation. The third and fourth chapters study how Nussbaum mobilizes Plato and Aristotle to point at some of the problems she finds at the core of her contemporary political philosophy. The fifth chapter investigates how Nussbaum renegotiates Stoic and Epicurean philosophy in her defence of a therapeutic philosophical approach. The last chapter exposes how aesthetical, ethical and political dimensions are weaved into Nussbaum’s thoughts on cultivation. Here, I study her reading of two tragedies and one comedy, showing how Nussbaum’s philosophical practice can be understood as an art of memory.Set in a contemporary, Swedish discussion on bildning [Bildung], and the role of education for liberal democracy, I argue that Nussbaum lay bare the constructed division between education and self-formation where she calls for the urgency to scrutinize educational politics and educational practice. Hence, what Nussbaum emphasizes, is that everywhere people meet, we are already embedded in a process of cultivation of thoughts, emotions and perceptions. The central question on how we can live together in a pluralistic world will thus have different answers depending on what can be seen and heard within the epistemological and political regulation of the sensible. Nussbaum’s politics of cultivation insists not only on being a gadfly on the back of power, but also to change the political structures from a reductive masculinity to the dialectics of love.

Ett medialt museum : lärandets estetik i svensk television 1956-1969
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis investigates the aesthetic interpretation of learning processes in television produced and broadcast in Sweden between 1956 and 1969. The thesis explores how these programmes are linked to concepts of Bildung by their aesthetics, by which the intangible cultural heritage is entrusted in the form of oral and visual traditions, storytelling and games/play, where learning is the common denominator. The programmes are divided into three categories: aesthetics of attentiveness, aesthetics of tale/storytelling and aesthetics of play. The detailed, thick, descriptions of the programmes emanating from the close-readings shall be, together with the aesthetic categories that I have formulated and expressed in a model, regarded as the survey’s key findings. The starting point of the central theoretical model of the thesis is André Malraux’s idea of an imaginary museum of imagination in which photo reproductions can constitute a collective memory, and thus bepart of an intangible heritage. Based on this idea of an imaginary museum, I have constructed a conceptual model called a medial museum, valid in its own time as well as for posterity. The theoretical models that the study gain support from are characterized by phenomenological and hermeneutical perspectives, as I refer to a phenomenological-hermeneutical method when analysing the programmes, and at the same time underline the phenomenological-hermeneutically based aesthetics in the analysed programmes, where aesthetic interpretation of learning processes in terms of attentiveness, tale and play is of a phenomenological-hermeneutic character. For a broad perspective on learning processes, theoretical support is acquired both from the German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer and his hermeneutic of traditions and from the French philosopher Jacques Rancière and his emancipatory ideas of pedagogy and aesthetics. Furthermore, the French philosopher Paul Ricœur and his thoughts on importance of storytelling for knowledge formation have had significant influence on the work. Regarding the concepts of play, I have made use of both Gadamer’s ideas of art experience as play and of Donald W. Winnicott’s theories about play as transitional area. In the programmes’ aesthetics is found a depiction of a broadened interpretation of Bildung, where processes of learning comprise a direct sensual perceiving, attentiveness, storytelling/tale and play. Moreover, within the programmes’ managing of an intangible cultural heritage, I have found an expression of an interplay between modernity and tradition, with emphasis on the historical significance of the present, and rooting in the past of everyday life, where expectation on the future and the memory of the past can co-exist. To summarise, the study suggests the possibility to understand aesthetics as an epistemology using sensuous experience as basis for a conceptual knowledge about how to understand the world. Thereby, one can comprehend aesthetics as pedagogy per se.
