Michel Meyer's Problematology
First investigation of Michel Meyer's problematology, which demonstrates its importance for key questions in social science, written by the expert in the field.
Michel Meyer's Problematology
In today's society, everything is in question. The reflexive questioning of modernity has fundamentally problematized society, including philosophy, which has experienced a crisis of metaphysics. Michel Meyer's problematology answers this crisis by questioning questioning, unfolding a new way of doing philosophy, with special relevance for the study of society. In this first-ever extended treatment of Meyer's work, Nick Turnbull examines the main features of problematology, including the principle of questioning and the deduction of an original conception of difference, based on the question-answer relationship. Turnbull shows how these concepts produce new perspectives in the philosophy of ...
Michel Meyer
In Jam Town , the artist Michel Meyer shows works from 2009 2013. Executed on canvas, paper and wood, his works flit between figure and abstraction, and are expressively colourful and full of symbols. What lies behind them may be a glimpse into the human psyche, but in any case generates - now distorted in the manner of a caricature, now with marvellously muted poetry - a certain tension. It is a form of painting that transports sensitive temperaments, whilst remaining unobtrusive. This catalogue accompanies several exhibitions at the same time, and shows close to 60 of the artist s works.0Exhibition: Museum für aktuelle Kunst, Durbach, Germany (27.02-18.04.2014) ; Museum der Stadt Weinheim, Germany (24.06.- 07.09.2014) and others.
Of Problematology
Michel Meyer offers a new beginning for philosophy rooted in a theory of questioning that he calls "problematology." Meyer argues that a new beginning is necessary in order to resituate philosophy, science, and linguistic analysis, and he proposes a global view of rationality by returning to the nature of questioning itself. For Meyer, philosophy does not solve problems or give answers but instead shows how propositions are related to a whole field of questions that give them meaning. Reason is identified not with answers but with the question-answer process. Meyer pursues this new theory of reason and meaning in a critique of Western philosophy from Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle through He...
What is Rhetoric?
This book offers a new unified approach to rhetoric, a means of persuading or influencing interlocutors. All the principal authors from Plato and Aristotle to contemporary theorists are integrated into Michel Meyer's 'problematological' conception of rhetoric, based on the primacy of questioning and answering in language and thought.
Questioning and Historicity
Originally published in 2000, this is the first English translation of the major work of a Philosopher whose writings have been described by Le Monde as 'revolutionary.' For Michel Meyer, in an age where everything is problematised the question itself must become not only the method but also the subject of a truly 21st century philosophy. Questioning and Historicity is the most authoritative account yet published of Meyer's philosophy of 'Problematology,' a philosophy that questions questioning itself. The book explores how and why questioning has been repressed and explains why we should look now to questioning, examining all the consequences of this for thought, man, science, ethics, and all the age-old concerns of philosophy.
The Rhetoricity of Philosophy
This book aims to recast the way that philosophers understand rhetoric. Rather than follow most philosophers in conceiving rhetoric as a specific way of speaking or writing, it shows that rhetoric is better understood as a dimension of all human discourse and action—what the author calls “rhetoricity”. This book provides the first philosophical treatment of rhetoricity. It is motivated by two ongoing developments. The first is the debate between Alain Badiou and Barbara Cassin about philosophy’s relation to rhetoric. Both Badiou and Cassin are critical of rhetoric, albeit for different reasons. Second, there has been a growing resurgence of interest in rhetoric considering the recent...
From Logic to Rhetoric
What is language, and how has it been conceived since Frege? How did the development of thought about language lead to a renewed interest in rhetoric in the twentieth century and ultimately to the ‘problematological synthesis’? These are the main questions treated in this book. A constant intertwining of historical and topical viewpoints characterizes the author’s approach.
