UNDERSTANDING WORLD OTHER AND SELF BEYOND THE A...

Pasgaard-Westerman rethinks the ontological and epistemological understanding of world  other
and self by opposing the general anthropological paradigm within contemporary philosophy. Signs
and interpretations are not functions of Man  instead Man is conceived as certain
signo-interpretational relations to world  other and self. Opposing more traditional
hermeneutical approaches the signo-interpretational relations towards world  other and self are
understood as a skeptical disposition. This skeptical disposition undercuts usual
epistemological problems of skepticism and instead designates the permanent incompleteness of
the process of interpretation and formulates an ethical imperative. This ethical imperative
aims at an active dissolution of fixed signs  an openness towards other signs  and the holding
back of definite interpretations. The book discusses how world appear as a sign-world  how the
other appear within interpretational patterns  and howour signs of self are experienced.
Discussing a wide range of epistemological and ontological questions and taking into account
the perspectives of a broad range of philosophical traditions  a signo-interpretational account
of reality  world-versions  other persons and self is presented.
