and Jankélévitch. Such a philosophical perspective assume -after Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Wittgenstein-, that the blurring of the original unity between Philosophy and Music has to be rethought and overcome. This assumption, equally relevant for the Indo- Iranian, Japanese and Chinese cosmologies, is grounded, in western culture
, on the constructive acknowledgment of the internal relation between the general theory of Lógos, and the theory of αρμονια for which the concept of musiké is one of the major dimensions. This theoretical and dialogical perspective, with its stress on the relevance of cultural hermeneutics, aesthetics and musical thinking for the problematic of unity and diversity in culture(s), entail several methodological demands. These tasks can be equally formulated from a phenomenological, hermeneutical, or grammatical point of view. This open hermeneuticas is focused by Marc Jean-Bernard on both practical and theoretical dimensions:
Epistemic Perspective
The Greek locution Dialegein synthesizes a theoretic set of axiological investigations, corresponding to a unified epistemic methodology which embraces Cultural Hermeneutics, specifically Aesthetics and Ethics. His construction of ethical and aesthetical responsibility stands as a philosophical cantus firmus for the understanding of cultural polyphony.
Intentionality and Cognition
Firstly, Marc Jean-Bernard seeks to provide a philosophical account of cognitive science
s in the field of culture. The extension of research in Philosophy of Mind
and Continental Philosophy
assigns a theoretical imperative to ethical and cultural investigations, in order to grammatically fix the amphibology of explanation. In contrast to the anti-functionalism and anti- physicalism
of phenomenology and hermeneutics, his research on intentionality and subjectivity induces a deep revision of the dichotomy between the transcendental and analytical accounts of phenomenology. He starts with a clear grammar of the term intentionality
, unifying its phenomenological and cognitive meaning. Then, a non reductive perspective on Mind and Psychism examines cognitive intentionality (representational consciousness of cognition) and affective intentionality (non representational consciousness and non affective connaturality), following both the phenomenological description of consciousness and the legacy of Wittgenstein’s investigations on perception, knowledge and psychology.
Aesthetic experience as axiology
In his musical or philosophical essays and papers, he stressed the relevance of values in the aesthetic experience considered as a counterpoint of hermeneutic gestures. This insight on symbolic consciousness and truth-content of art is exemplified throughout two ontologically interconnected main fields: Music and Architecture. Considering non- representational and representational semantics of Music and Architecture, the temporalisation and spatialization gestures implied in design and composition embrace the entire sphere of dwelling in a given world, what we call an aesthetical oikonomia. This connection between temporality and spatiality is exposed through recent examples, where axiological and “immunological” claims of a harmonic world are creatively expressed. These paradigmatic topics, focused on architectural design and musical compositions, are chosen between contemporary works from European, Japanese, North and South American cultures.
Knowledge, Art, and Responsibility
Correspondingly, he crystallizes the claim for dialogue between cognitive and hermeneutics in Art, Ethics and Education. His dialogical perspective entails new methodological demands applied to cultural diversity
. Phenomenological, grammatical, and cognitive approaches of today’s Aesthetic Endeavour induce a corresponding insight of the role of affective intentionality in Ethics. He assumes that we are led to a synoptic view of Responsibility, within a non reductive frame. Responsibility, linking Wittgenstein to Levinas, and phenomenological to cognitive descriptions, emphasizes the exigent core of a philosophical telos. This Duty reaffirms Malraux’s meditation in The Twilight of the Absolute, through the infinite epiphany of Autrui.
