Angèle Kremer-Marietti

Angèle Kremer-Marietti (1927- 21 November 2013) was a French philosopher. Her work foregrounds epistemological origin as a problem relative to any symbolicity, be it related to action or knowledge. In her writings, she sought to emphasize the "law which institutes time", i.e., the paramount element of temporal and concrete moral and political action as much as scientific thought.

Work

Angèle Kremer-Marietti assumes both an ethical as well as an epistemological point of view. From her perspective, Christian ethics predetermined a design of finite/infinite time, which itself determines traditional knowledge, and that the problem of symbolization has evolved into a problem of authorization. Nevertheless, via historical development, it has been shown that the problem of symbolization could be legitimated through rational and social recognition and always with a reference to the interior "formal law" as fundamental structure, albeit without the support of metaphysical being qua being. Whereas purely normative morals came to be regarded as "out of date", marked with an historical seal, every ethics implies reference to conceptual philosophical systems, connecting an inherent anthropological aspect with a rational one, as much as a form of empiricism on the basis of intuitionism.

In Kremer-Marietti's essay, "Theory of philosophy as a science of the symbolic" (Argumentation 4, 1990) she establishes the foundations of a theory of reasoning on the ground of philosophy as philosophy with the question: what are the presupposed terms of philosophical research in general and what do they mean? With the design of separating words from evident meaning, taking them as simple symbolic items, she thinks that symbolization is the most important way of proceeding in philosophy and science. Philosophers are usually not aware of this symbolical process. Thus, the structure of knowing is presented as is also a means of symbolizing. This perspective is open in its reference to traditional problems. (Key Words: Reasoning - meaning - symbolization - knowledge - metaphilosophy)

Angèle Kremer-Marietti also denotes our process of mind in perceiving and conceiving. For example, in the essay Les processus d'objet (European Journal for Semiotic Studies, vol.5, 1-2, 1993) she explains a new conception of the object through three divisions.

  1. Referring to the object taken as an action from the starting point from which we say it has been done (in present, future and past time): so that telling the object is an action concerning objects as actions.
  2. The problem of referring with its classical not sufficient solutions needs that one includes in it the fact that there do not exist established conditions for the identity of intentional objects, according de re and de dicto.
  3. Finally, in object process it intervenes a relation which prevails upon any ontology of being as being.
