Re-examining Husserl’s Non-Conceptualism in the Logical Investigations

A recent trend in Husserl scholarship takes the Logische Untersuchungen (LU) as advancing an inconsistent and confused view of the non-conceptual content of perceptual experience. Against this, I argue that there is no inconsistency about non-conceptualism in LU. Rather, LU presents a hybrid view of the conceptual nature of perceptual experience, which can easily be misread as inconsistent, since it combines a conceptualist view of perceptual content (or matter) with a non-conceptualist view of perceptual acts. I show how this hybrid view is operative in Husserl’s analyses of essentially occasional expressions and categorial intuition. And I argue that it can also be deployed in relation to Husserl’s analysis of the constitution of perceptual fullness, which allows it to avoid a objection raised by Walter Hopp—that the combination of Husserl’s analysis of perceptual fullness with conceptualism about perceptual content generates a vicious regress

Burning issues: reactions to the Highland Press during the 1885 election campaign

This paper considers the ‘protest’ burning of newspapers in the Highlands in the months immediately preceding the election of November-December 1885. Newspapers took a central role in the Highland Land Agitation, no matter where their political loyalties lay, and the strength of feeling which they awoke among Highlanders is evident in the public burnings of newspapers, particularly those which were perceived to be supporters of the landlords. This paper considers the role which the Highland press played in electioneering as it catered for an expanding and increasingly politicised readership. The dualities of the newspapers, both as purveyors of news, but also featuring in the news, are examined as is the use of Gaelic for electioneering purposes and finally the various reports of newspaper burnings

The forgotten first: John MacCormick's 'Dùn-Àluinn'

The first Gaelic novel, John MacCormick's Dùn-Àluinn, no an t-Oighre 'na Dhìobarach, was serialised in the People's Journal in 1910 before being published in its entirety in 1912. Within a year of the publication of Dùn-Àluinn as a novel the second Gaelic novel, Angus Robertson's An t-Ogha Mòr, appeared in print, underlining the renaissance which Gaelic literature was experiencing. Both novels, while remarked upon by contemporaries and by general studies of Gaelic literature, have been all but ignored to date, with no criticism or analysis of either having been published. The main aim of this article is to offer some general comments about MacCormick's Dùn-Àluinn and thus to open up both the novel and indeed other early twentieth-century Gaelic writers and their work to further scrutiny. Consideration will be given to the author himself, the contemporary Gaelic literary scene and finally some of the more interesting aspects of the novel itself
