09./10.+12./13.09.2016 - Konferenz: What is Said - What ist Meant
The notions of what is said and what is meant play an important role in everyday communication. We refer to what somebody has said and evaluate whether it is interesting or boring, precise or imprecise, true or false. And we distinguish from it what somebody has meant either on top of what she said or instead of it and here again evaluate it along different dimensions.
The notions of what is said and what is meant also play an important theoretical role in many disciplines of philosophical interest. There is not only the long tradition in philosophy of language and linguistics to investigate these notions in an effort to come up with plausible theories of meaning and communication. There is also a rather new trend in, for instance, aesthetics, epistemology, ethics and metaphysics to use them to state, defend or bring down certain popular (or not so popular) views, like objectivism or relativism.
The prominence in everyday life and the increasing significance in various fields of philosophy has led to a revival of interest in the two notions themselves. Theorists from all kinds of areas of philosophy and linguistics have made them the subject of independent studies. The conference What is Said - What is Meant brings these theorists together to create an opportunity to discuss the notions of what is said and what is meant across the boundaries of various areas of specialization.

11.11.2014 - Tagung der Ernst-Cassirer-Gesellschaft: Rekonstruktion kulturphilosophischer Traditionen
Nach Ernst Cassirer stellt die Kulturphilosophie „vielleicht das fragwürdigste und das am meisten umstrittene Gebiet“ der Philosophie dar. Mit der Fokussierung auf deren noch weitgehend unerschlossene Traditionen stellen wir uns der damit formulierten Aufgabe ihrer theoretischen Rekonstruktion und erinnern zugleich an die Dringlichkeit der editorischen Sicherung ihrer Bestände.
Rekonstruktion und öffentliche Präsenz der kulturphilosophischen Traditionen war auch das Anliegen unseres am 24. Mai 2013 ver- storbenen Mitgliedes Klaus Christian Köhnke. Davon zeugen die von ihm herausgegebenen Bände der Georg-Simmel-Gesamtausgabe wie auch der Nachgelassenen Manuskripte und Texte Ernst Cassirers. Nicht zuletzt brachte seine viel beachtete Edition wichtiger Texte von Moritz Lazarus diesen lange vergessenen Denker in die kultur- und sozialphilosophische Diskussion zurück. Solange von einem „abge- klärten, fertigen Wissens- oder Theoriebestand, den man aus Lehrbüchern entnehmen könnte“, nicht die Rede sein kann (Köhnke), ist die Rekonstruktion der Kulturphilosophie als bleibende Aufgabe zu betrachten.
