    Kognitive Optimierung durch KI?Sabine Ammon - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (2):92-107.
    Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) promise cognitive optimization in many areas of our lives, ranging from automated decision-making to superintelligence. In a predominant narrative, the black-box of machine learning systems is identified as one of the biggest obstacles from an epistemic point of view. The problem is expected to be solved by algorithmic counteractions emerging from the field of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). However, deeper questions about a meaningful cognitive division of labor between AI algorithms and human actors who (...)

    Self-Consciousness, Transparency, and Reflection.Matthew Boyle - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (2):110-129.
    The capacity of human knowers to turn their cognitive powers upon themselves has long fascinated philosophers. My book Transparency and Reflection grew out of an attempt to comprehend a fundamental thought from Kant about the significance of this capacity for self-consciousness: namely, that it transforms the general character of human knowing, giving rise to a distinctively rational form of cognition and supplying the basis for a distinctively philosophical understanding of our own minds and of the world with which they engage. (...)

    Superhuman AI.Gabriele Gramelsberger - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (2):81-91.
    The modern program of operationalizing the mind, from Descartes to Kant, in the form of the externalization of human mind functions in logic and calculations, and its continuation in the program of formalization from the middle of the 19th century with Boole, Peirce and Turing, have led to the form of rationality that has become machine rationality: the digital computer as a logical-mathematical machine and algorithms as machine-rational interpretations of human thinking in the form of problem solving and decision making. (...)

    Virtuelle Realität.Jörg Noller - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (2):6-21.
    This paper aims to determine the ontology of virtual reality from a historical and systematic point of view. The term “virtual reality” is often used synonymously with “illusion”, “immersion”, “simulation” or “fiction”. Against this anti-realistic view, the paper argues that virtual reality is a genuine kind of reality that has always been part of our life. To this end, I will analyze the ontology of virtual reality by using the example of banknotes and referring to Lynne Baker’s “constitution view”. Finally, (...)

    Der zweifache Stellenwert des Rechtssubjekts in der Straftheorie P.J.A. Feuerbachs.Stefan Schick - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (2):22-44.
    Among legal scholars, P. J. A. Feuerbach is considered one of the most important German jurists of the 19th century: not only has he established Germany’s modern doctrine of penal law and the Bavarian penal code of 1813, but he is also the founder of the theory of psychological force, i.e. the idea of the threat of punishment (not punishment itself!) as deterrence. Whereas one cannot comprehend Feuerbach’s legal doctrines without their original philosophical justification, namely his concept of the legal (...)

    Utopische Träumereien?Dietrich Schotte - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (2):45-60.
    This paper argues that the common argument, that a state’s monopoly of violence is a necessary condition for peace, is flawed. First, it rests on anthropological assumptions about violent tendencies in human nature that may be valid for our society but cannot claim to correctly picture the (universal) human nature. Secondly, monopolies of violence are in reality less functional than they would need to be; most importantly, their agents distribute more violence than necessary or legitimate. Given their structural and institutional (...)

    Eudaimonia als Selbstoptimierung?Andreas Speer - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (2):64-80.
    In my article, I intend to show that human self-optimization has been a fundamental question of practical philosophy from the very beginning, and that it is worth taking note of supposedly “old” models also with a view to today’s discussion. Three models will be discussed; two go back to Plato, the third to Aristotle. Although the two Platonic models form powerful anthropological narratives, the Aristotelian model opens up a variety of perspectives, especially in practical terms, on how the question of (...)

    Human Nature as a Source of Moral Normativity: Reflections on the Naturalist Approach in P. Foot’s Work Natural Goodness.Michal Chabada - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (1):46-60.
    This article considers aspects of Philippa Foot’s theory of naturalist realist metaethics. It addresses the question of whether human nature can function as a direct source of normativity or whether it is more of a metanormative framework that is open to norm-creation based on the agent’s rational volitional activity. This gives rise to the question of whether the source of moral normativity is not in fact the agent’s practical rationality since natural facts may conflict and therefore cannot constitute a direct (...)

    Kants Konzeption des höchsten Gutes.Andree Hahmann - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (1):21-45.
    Kant’s highest good consists of happiness and the worthiness of happiness, that is, morality. The question of the exact connection between these two parts is disputed. Some argue that Kant proposed different, sometimes contradictory, concepts of the highest good. First, the highest good is said to consist in the distribution of happiness in relation to morality. Second, the highest good is said to describe a maximal or best state in which the greatest morality is associated with the highest happiness. This (...)

    Die hörbare Form der Zeit. Eine subjektzentrierte Musikphilosophie.Ulrich Müller - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (1):61-80.
    In a subject-philosophical perspective, a musical work embodies the creativity of a subject that has become a construction. As a temporal movement itself, it first expands internally sound-temporally as well as sound-spatially: in the form of an invented succession of tones and, derived from this by negation, also of a simultaneity of sounds (level 1). The content of this imagined temporal-spatial formation can be individual associations, feelings, sensations, moods and atmospheres, which can be conceptually interpreted as musical units (level 2). (...)

    Zwischen Faktizität und Geltung. Zur transzendentalphilosophischen Vermittlung von Prinzip und Tatsache bei Richard Hönigswald.Peter Schwind - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (1):7-20.
    The article presents Hönigswalds version of transcendental philosophy, putting focus on the mediation of epistemological principles and empirical states of affairs. It is shown, that Hönigswald provides an original account of transcendental philosophy, that goes far beyond the common ones, that we know from the Marburg School of Neo-Kantianism.

    Repliken zu Hoffmann-Kolss, Hübner, Kment, Koslicki, Loets und Metschl.Barbara Vetter - 2023 - Philosophisches Jahrbuch 130 (1):82-105.
