Between Love and Benevolence. Voigtländer, Pfänder, and Walther on the Phenomenology of Sentiments

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The present chapter aims at reconstructing Else Voiltänder’s philosophical relationship with one of her teachers, Alexander Pfänder, and to another female student of him, Gerda Walther. Focusing on the phenomenology of sentiments, the author attempts to show the following claims. Voigtländer follows Pfänder in a considerably precise manner when she gives a general account of sentiments. However, in her analysis of particular sorts of sentiments, love and benevolence, Voigtländer proposes a view that is not found in her teacher. This idea is novel and significant because it calls for certain revisions or refinements of Pfänder’s and Walther’s ideas, respectively.
