VON HILDEBRAND, DIETRICH

The fulfilled volition is the action itself. There are intermediate stages of fulfillment that are possible. For example, an agent can desire an end, the attainm en t o f w hich can only be reached in stages and over an extended period of time. If one decides, for example, to lose weight, say 20 pounds, the loss of the first two pounds fulfills in part that intention . In this case, the empty intention or the partly empty-partly fulfilled intention takes on the form of resolve. Resolve can also involve willing impossible ends, say, world peace, but the resolve can be partially fulfilled in those actions that contribute to world peace even if they do not fully realize it. VON HILDEBRAND, DIETRICH (18891977). Having begun his studies at the University of Munich under Theodor Lipps, von Hildebrand became associated with the group of students and philosophers who made up the M unich C ircle , especially M ax Scheler . Von H ildebrand studied at G ttingen from 1909 to 1911 with H usse rl and A dolf R einach . H e completed his dissertation in 1912 under Husserl, but he was probably more indebted for his philosophical outlook to Reinach. Von Hildebrands major works are in ethics and social philosophy, and he was concerned to articulate a view of religious values that had been formed by his deep commitment to Catholicism to which he had converted in 1914. An active opponent of Nazism, he was forced to flee Germany to Austria and then to France. At each stop, he was forced to flee again as the Nazi conquest widened. He finally went to the United States in 1940, where he taught at Fordham University in New York City from 1941 to 1960.

W EIERSTRASS, KARL (18151897). Weierstrass was appointed to the chair in mathematics at the University of Berlin in 1857. Husserl studied there with Weierstrass from 18781881 and again, after completing his dissertation at Vienna, for part of 1883. Weierstrass was concerned with the foundation s o f mathematics and sought to ground mathematics axiomatically. To that end, Weierstrass developed mathematical definitions of some central mathematical concepts, such as continuity, limit, and derivative. W HOLE. A whole is defined in terms of its moments and their founding relations. More precisely, a whole is a set of parts or contents united by a single, although possibly complex, foundation without the help of additional, non-essential parts or contents.
