Topologik,
Numero 24 / Issue n° 24, December 2018-April 2019 Numero speciale/Sondernummer/Special Issue Karl-Otto Apel Volume 1
This monographic issue of Topologik is the first of a set of two volumes
dedicated to KarlOtto Apel, one of the most important Maestros of
twenty-first century philosophical thought. The issue is divided into
two sections: the Life section and the Thought section. The first
section (Life) is composed of contributions that are testimony to
conversations, discussions and reflections with Karl-Otto Apel. The
theoretical-philosophical aspect and the personal aspect give back the
freshness and the profundity of the recounts and of the testimonies here
present around the Thought and the Life of Karl-Otto Apel. Those who
have known, and become friends with Apel, have lived the philosophical
logos in its reflective breadth in symbiosis with a man who, in
Habermas' opinion, incorporates the same philosophy. They lived the
discursive force of a personality who made dialogue the tireless source
of intersubjective research. Life and Thought are not two separate and
separable sections, they are rather the evidence that the true
philosophizing is constituted in the unity, precisely, of Life and
Thought: in live the philosophy. The second section (Thought) ‒ Many, in
the meantime, are the international studies on the thought of Karl-Otto
Apel. The series of contributions and reflections presented here is a
worldwide example of the vitality and fruitfulness of the thought of
Karl-Otto Apel. Different experts, from different angles and
perspectives that are anything but identical, critically confront
themselves with Apel's transcendental pragmatics both as a proposal for
a theoretical foundation and as an application platform for the real
contexts of human life. It is a philosophical dialogue, rich in
additional and alternative reflections, which testifies to the profound
motivations that Karl-Otto Apel has been able to arouse in many
philosophers and intellectuals, worldwide, with his
transcendentalpragmatic transformation of Western philosophy. The ethics
of discourse, as transcendental pragmatics or hermeneutical or semiotic
pragmatics, is not only a new and original way of conceiving the
philosophy of the West in its transformation in the third paradigm of
the first philosophy; the ethics of discourse is also a radical
philosophical thinking of re-appropriation of one's own presupposes
(also linguistics), that can be traduced into a pragmatic ethics that
demands foundation (discursive) and universality (intersubjective).
