On Aristotle's Concept of Improvisation
Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology. 2015. Vol. 2. No. 1. P. 113-121.
Haas A.
Aristotle writes: 'Since to imitate is natural for us, as well as harmony and rhythm (for it is manifest that meters are proper parts of rhythms), from the beginning those most naturally inclined toward them, advancing little by little, generated ποίησιν out of improvisations'. But what is improvisation? It is neither just free play, nor doing what one wants--it is self-schematization, which has implications for all kinds of speaking and acting, thinking and being.

Unity and Aspect has been short-listed as a finalist for the 2019 Prix Mercier.
What is first philosophy today? In Unity and Aspect, the questioning begins with a new (old) approach to metaphysics: being is implied; it is implied in everything that is; it is an implication. But then, the history of philosophy must be rethought completely – ...

This work shows that being must originally be understood as implication. We begin with what Heidegger calls Hegel’s ‘new concept of being’ in the Phenomenology of Spirit: time as history is the essence of being. This concept however, is not univocal—for supersession means destroying-preserving. Hegel shows himself to be the thinker of truth as essentially ...

What is a problem? What is problematic about any problem whatsoever, philosophical or other-wise? As the origin of assertion and apodeiction, the problematic suspends the categories of necessity and contingency, possibility and impossibility. And it is this suspension that is the essence of the problem, which is why it is so suspenseful. But then, how ...

What is being? This is, from the Greeks to Hegel (according to Heidegger), the guiding question of ontology and the history of philosophy as metaphysics. And the
answer is presence: ‘being’ means ‘being present’, ‘presencing’; ‘to be’ means ‘to be
present’. By clarifying the limit of this philosophy of presence, however, it is possible
to go beyond it, ...

The understanding of the unity of the world-in the human and natural sciences, and the arts-has remained steadfast from ancient metaphysics to contemporary phenomenology: the world is one accidentally and necessarily, as true and false, potentially and actually, and categorically. But these four ways of being one can be traced back to how unity is ...

What is time? Neither the numbering of the motion of things nor their schema, but their way of being. In language, time shows itself as tense. But every verb has both tense and aspect. So what is aspect? Irreducible to tense, it is the way in which anything is at any time whatsoever. Thus the ...

Almost all philosophers (and many non-philosophers) recognize the fundamental importance of the Phenomenology of Spirit... But Hegel's way of thinking and speaking — which he names, “speculative” —needs explaining. The example of “the speculative sentence” is helpful — for here, speculating means implying, that is, neither bringing meaning to presence nor keeping it in absence; ...

"There is only one truly philosophical problem: suicide," Camus insists. But today, this problem has metastasized and spread across the globe. Threatening the whole of nature, the climate crisis puts us on the verge of self-destruction. So again, there is only one truly philosophical problem: the suicide of the human race, along with much murder. ...

Being can no longer be thought, for Plato, in accordance with Parmenides' either / or; rather, it is both / and, both present in and absent from things, which is how they can come-to-presence and go-out-into-absence. But as the dialogue demonstrates, Greek grammar hints at a fundamental ontological truth: the expression, “one one,” ἓν ἕν, ...

A threat is a strange thing—for it is neither simply a deed done, nor undone. But if we think the threat in terms of the presence or absence of an actual or potential threat—as the history of philosophy (from the Greeks, through Hegel, to us) has done, then we miss what is threatening. For the ...

Hegel's Philosophy of Right demonstrates how the idea of right is not present, but implied in the world. Take a clue from language, from Aesop's Greek: the meaning of being is implication. And this way of being is how right is implied in the individual and family, friends and enemies, society and the state, and ...

In this paper, I argue for the revivification of our other name in Greek: phos.
First, I show that, although the Greeks named us anthrôpos, they also called us phos. Second, I argue that the Greeks used the word phos because we are like light. Third, I show that our way of being light-like is illuminating, ...

What is the origin of language? For Levinas, from Aristotle to von Humboldt, the tradition of Western metaphysics has understood language as a representation of reality, going beyond or transcending experience. In this way, language is a metaphor that substitutes for experience—and all language is originally metaphorical. Experience however, is essentially inexpressible—for it not only ...

This paper examines ontological strategies of Western existential philosophy (its “atheistic” current) and the Buddhist school (darśana) of mādhyamaka. We can discover similar phenomenological strategies together with extreme differences in anthropology and the value purposes (personalism and deconstruction of classic European subject in the existential philosophy and radical impersonalism of Buddhism). We suppose that Heidegger, ...

В гуманитарном мире сложился устойчивый образ О. Мандельштама — сложного, «темного» поэта, чьи стихи нуждаются в кропотливой дешифровке. Увлеченные поисками интертекстуальных связей, филологи зачастую игнорируют первооснову мандельштамовской лирики — язык. В своей монографии «К русской речи» П. Успенский и В. Файнберг исследуют роль идиоматики в поэтическом языке Мандельштама: как поэт систематически использует фразеологию для создания ...

Codex Urb. gr. 39 from the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana is a compound manuscript. Its first part, copied around 1464 by George Tzangaropoulos, contains Aristotle's Historia animalium provided with glosses by two hands. I studied Demetrius Chalcondyles' annotations elsewhere (2015); here I am analyzing those by Angelo Vadio, a little-known humanist from Rimini. Many of his glosses, apparently based on Theodore Gaza's ...

Abstract: This paper examines one attribute of the active intellect (νοῦς ποιητικός) — ἕξις
(disposition, quality). In “De Anima” (III.) Aristotle characterizes νοῦς ποιητικός “as a kind
of disposition (ὡς ἕξις τις), like light.” Why does Aristotle call the active intellect ἕξις? There
are two difficulties here. () If ἕξις is some sort of quality or property (as ...

The article analyzes the late Heidegger’s criticism of the previous philosophical tradition, understood as metaphysics. Heidegger's interpretation of metaphysics is revealed as the forgetfulness of Being manifested in the ontotheological structure of metaphysics: Being understood as entity, as the supreme kind of entity. Demonstrated approach to Heidegger’s understanding of Being designed to be the overcoming ...
