Philosophical positioning

Lembeck's systematic positions are all determined by transcendental philosophical motives. In particular, he is close to the phenomenological philosophy, which is applied transcendentally and idealistically; Access focuses on the works of Husserl , Heidegger and early French phenomenology. Lembeck's transcendental philosophical stamping stems from research devoted to neo-Kantian discourse models of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as exemplarily documented in his habilitation thesis "Platon in Marburg. Platonreception and the philosophy of the history of philosophy in Cohen and Natorp" . The common self-understanding of both currents - to pursue philosophy as a strict science, rejecting relativistic excesses - forms the vanishing point of Lembeck's current research. The focus of interest is the genesis of the transcendental philosophical thought: starting with Hermann Cohen's early approaches and moving towards the preliminary goal with Husserl's later work on the historical a priori.

In his monograph "Philosophy as an imposition? Your role in the canon of the sciences", published in 2010, Lembeck's systematic positions are documented in concrete application to questions of epistemology. In doing so, he rejects relativistic positions, especially biologistic and radical constructivist epistemologies, as factually inadequate. The basic ideas of phenomenological philosophy are protected against hasty funeral speeches of analytical color (especially against Daniel Dennet and Thomas Metzinger ) and it is shown that the representatives mentioned do not get beyond an insufficient understanding of classical phenomenological ideas.

Lembeck's recent research revolves around questions of a philosophical aesthetic that strives for a perceptual and aesthetic reformulation of transcendental thought. The focus of interest is on the question of a possible givenness and validity-theoretical safeguarding of the transcendental conditions of objectivity, which, however, is not primarily clad in judgment-theoretical considerations, but should be achieved in the context of the seeing experience of works of art. The approach is documented u. a. in more recent museum theoretical work.
