    Abstract: Based on the concept of a physical system, this book offers a new philosophical interpretation of classical mechanics and the Special Theory of Relativity. According to Belkinds view the role of physical theory is to describe the motions of the parts of a physical system in relation to the motions of the whole. This approach provides a new perspective into the foundations of physical theory, where motions of parts and wholes of physical systems are taken to be fundamental, prior to spacetime, material properties and laws of motion. He defends this claim with a constructive project, deriving basic aspects of classical theories from the motions of parts and wholes. This exciting project will challenge readers to reevaluate how they understand the structure of the physical world in which we live.

    Parallel Title: Buchausg. u.d.T. Biceaga, Victor The concept of passivity in Husserl's phenomenology
    RVK:
    Keywords: Philosophy (General) ; Aesthetics ; Metaphysics ; Phenomenology ; Philosophy ; Aesthetics ; Metaphysics ; Phenomenology ; Philosophy (General) ; Husserl, Edmund, 1859-1938 ; Phenomenology ; Passivity (Psychology) ; Husserl, Edmund 1859-1938 ; Bewusstsein ; Passivität ; Aktivität ; Husserl, Edmund 1859-1938 ; Bewusstsein ; Passivität ; Aktivität
    Abstract: In Chapter 1, I explain why temporal syntheses, although distinguished from associative syntheses, count among the most fundamental phenomena of the passive sphere. I draw on Husserl's account of absolute consciousness, which 'sublates' pairs of opposites such as form/content and constituting/constituted, to show that activity and passivity mutually determine one another. In Chapter 2, I further expand on pre-egoic components of sense-giving acts encompassed by original passivity. I explain the function of primordial association (Urassoziation) in passive genesis with special reference to the problem of syntheses of similarity and contrast. Then, I turn to the difficult issue of the relation between affection and prominence (Abgehobenheit) in the perceptual field. In Chapter 3, I explore the sphere of secondary passivity a generic name for the modifications undergone by constituted meanings once the process of constitution is accomplished. I give particular consideration to the passive components involved in the phenomena of memory fulfillment and forgetfulness. Chapter 4 continues the previous chapter by expanding the discussion of secondary passivity from the subjective to the intersubjective level of sedimentation. I focus on Husserl's account of habitus and language as passive factors responsible for cultural crises. I use the example of translation to show, against Husserl, that passivity, understood as alienation, can also provide the palliative for cultural crises. In Chapter 5, I question the relation between the three meanings of passivity: receptivity, inactuality and alienation. I present the distinction between the lived body and the physical body as a form of self-alienation. Then I discuss the intersubjective significance of the concept of pairing association. Finally, I turn to the problem of Fremderfahrung in the broad sense, that is, the problem of the interaction between home worlds and alien worlds. I defend the harshly criticized idea of analogical transfer by reversing it and by showing that homecultures, one's own body and also one's self manifest themselves in similar modes of accessible inaccessibility.
