From Communism to Capitalism

On Resistance

Theory of a Catastrophe

A Philosophy of Defiance

Michel Henry

Howard Caygill

Translated by Scott Davidson & Scott Davidson "In From Communism to Capitalism, we are given access to how this maverick thinker of affect and life arrived at the political and economic implications of his thought at the decisive moment when Communism appeared to give way to the hegemony of late Capitalism." John Ó Maoilearca, Kingston University, UK Both a unique witness of transformative events in the late 20th century, and a prescient analysis of our present economic crises from a major French philosopher, Michel Henry's From Communism to Capitalism adds an important economic dimension to his earlier social critique. It begins by tracing the collapse of communist regimes back to their failure to implement Marx's original insights into the irreplaceable value of the living individual. Henry goes on to apply this same criticism to the surviving capitalist economic systems, portending their eventual and inevitable collapse. The influence of Michel Henry's radical revision of phenomenological thought is only now beginning to be felt in full force, and this edition is the first English translation of his major engagement with socio-economic questions. From Communism to Capitalism reinterprets politics and economics in light of the failure of socialism and the pervasiveness of global capitalism. It thus provides a context for understanding the 2008 financial shock and offers important insights into the political motivations behind the 'Arab spring'. Michel Henry (1922-2002) was a leading French philosopher and novelist. He was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Montpellier, France and author of five novels and numerous philosophical works. Scott Davidson is Professor and Chair of the Philosophy Department at Oklahoma City University, USA.

"There could not be a more timely moment for this book ... It is his unique mix of caution and enthusiasm, his avoidance of blind utopianism and of defeatism alike, which makes this book so important ... It will be indispensable for anyone thinking about resistance in our times." Jacqueline Rose, The Guardian Saturday Review

P rimary T exts

No word is more central to the contemporary political imagination and action than ‘resistance’. In its various manifestations - from the armed guerrilla to Gandhian mass pacifist protest, from Wikileaks and the Arab Spring to the global eruption and violent repression of the Occupy movement - concepts of resistance are becoming ubiquitous and urgent. In this book, Howard Caygill conducts the first ever systematic analysis of ‘resistance’: as a means of defying political oppression, in its relationship with military violence and its cultural representation. Beginning with the evolution of a new model of guerrilla warfare to resist the forces of Napoleonic France, On Resistance elucidates and critiques the contributions of seminal resistant thinkers from Marx and Nietzsche to Mao, Gandhi, Sartre and Fanon to identify continuities of resistance and rebellion. Caygill exposes the persistent discourses through which resistance has been framed in terms of force, violence, consciousness and subjectivity. Finally, Caygill reflects upon contemporary manifestations of resistance to identify whether the 21st century is evolving new understandings of protest and struggle.

The Witholding Power An Essay on Political Theology

Lines of Flight For Another World of Possibilities Felix Guattari Translated by Andrew Goffey As an analyst, philosopher and militant, Félix Guattari anticipated decentralised forms of political activism that have become increasingly evident around the world since the events of Seattle in 1995. Lines of Flight offers an exciting introduction to the sometimes difficult and dense thinking of an increasingly important 20th century thinker. An editorial introduction by Andrew Goffey situates the text in the context of Guattari's research group CERFI, his work with Deleuze and the social, political and cultural concerns of France in the 'winter years'. Providing a detailed and clearly documented account of his micropolitical critique of psychoanalytic, semiological and linguistic accounts of meaning and subjectivity, this work offers an astonishingly fresh set of conceptual tools for imaginative and engaged thinking about capitalism and effective forms of resistance to it. Felix Guattari (1930-1992) was a French psychoanalyst, philosopher, social theorist and radical activist. Andrew Goffey is Senior Lecturer in Media, Culture and Communications at Middlesex University, UK.

Massimo Cacciari Translated by Edi Pucci The first English translation of his work, The Witholding Power, offers a fascinating introduction to the thought of Italian philosopher Massimo Cacciari, a prominent and provocative figure in Italian philosophy and political thought. The Witholding Power provides a comprehensive and synthetic insight into his interpretation of Christian political theology and leftist Italian political theory more generally. Specifically, Cacciari sets forth his original perspective on the influence that theological-political questions have traditionally exerted upon ideas of power, sovereignty and the relationship between political and religious authority. With a lengthy introduction by Howard Caygill contextualising the work within the history of Italian thought, this title will offer newcomers to Cacciari a searing insight into his political, theological and philosophical milieu. Massimo Cacciari is a Italian politician and one of the most influential social philosophers in Italy. He has been Dean of Philosophy at the Universit San Raffaele in Milan and is a former Mayor of Venice. Howard Caygill is Professor of Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University, UK. Edi Pucci is a journalist and translator.

Living Currency

Statues

Pierre Klossowski

The Second Book of Foundations

Translated by Daniel W. Smith, Nicolae Morar & Vernon W. Cisney

Michel Serres

In the words of Michel Foucault: 'I should have written you after my first reading of The Living Currency; it was already breath-taking and I should have responded. After reading it a few more times, I know it is the best book of our times. One has the feeling that everything that matters in a way or another - Blanchot, Bataille, Beyond Good and Evil also - was insidiously going on in this text, but now, it is said - and so well said [...]. This was what one should have thought - desire, value, and simulacrum - the triangle that dominates us and has undoubtedly constituted us for centuries, in our history. [...] Without you, Pierre, we could have only opposed ourselves against this truth that Sade has spoken out once for all and that no one before you has turned around, that no one truly has approached. [...] What you have done for us goes far beyond our thanks and acknowledgements.' Letter to Pierre Klossowski from Michel Foucault, winter 1970. Pierre Klossowski is a French philosopher, translator, and artist. Vernon W. Cisney is a Ph.D. candidate in the Philosophy Department at Purdue University, USA. Nicolae Morar is a Faculty Fellow in the Philosophy Department at University of Oregon, USA. Daniel W. Smith is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Purdue University, USA.

Dissensus

Translated by Randolph Burks In this first English translation of one of his most important works, Michel Henry presents a statue as more than a static entity. A statue for Serres is the basis for knowledge, society, the subject and object, the world and experience. Through his prescient analysis of statues and how we create and respond to art, Henry demonstrates how sacrificial art founded society and through this reflects on the centrality of death and the dead body to the human condition. Serres comments on Verne's Around the Moon, Rodin's The Gates of Hell, the Eiffel Tower, cemeteries, short stories by Maupassant, fables by La Fontaine, the clothing and paintings of Carpaccio, the Challenger disaster and Baal. Each section covers a different time period and statuary topic, ranging from four thousand years ago to 1986. Expository, lyrical, fictionalized and hallucinatory, Statues does not follow a linear time sequence but rather plays with time and place, history and story in order to provoke us into thinking in entirely new ways. Statues contains great treasures and provocations for philosophers, literary critics, art historians and sociologists. Michel Serres is a Professor in the History of Science at Stanford University, USA and a member of the Académie Française. Randolph Burks is a philosopher specialising in phenomenology, philosophies of the body and philosophies of nature. He has translated several works by Michel Serres, included Biogea, Variations on the Body and The Hermaphrodite.

On Politics and Aesthetics Jacques Rancière Translated by Steven Corcoran "Rewarding in its scholarly engagement with Derrida, Arendt, Lyotard et al ... [Rancière] has a certain sardonic precision." The Guardian Dissensus: On Politics and Aesthetics brings together some of Jacques Rancière's most recent writings on art and politics to show the critical potential of two of his most important concepts: the aesthetics of politics and the politics of aesthetics. In this fascinating collection, Rancière engages in a radical critique of some of his major contemporaries on questions of art and politics: Gilles Deleuze, Antonio Negri, Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou and Jacques Derrida. The essays show how Rancière's ideas can be used to analyse contemporary trends in both art and politics, including the events surrounding 9/11, war in the contemporary consensual age, and the ethical turn of aesthetics and politics. Rancière elaborates new directions for the concepts of politics and communism, as well as the notion of what a 'politics of art' might be. This important collection includes several essays that have never previously been published in English, as well as a brand new afterword. Jacques Rancière taught at the University of Paris VIII, France, from 1969 to 2000, occupying the Chair of Aesthetics and Politics from 1990 until his retirement. Steven Corcoran is a writer and translator living in Berlin. He has edited and/ or translated several works by Jacques Rancière, including Dissensus (Continuum, 2010), and two works by Alain Badiou.

The Re-Enchantment of the World The Value of Spirit Against Industrial Populism Bernard Stiegler Translated by Trevor Arthur Bernard Stiegler's work on the intriguing relationship between the human and the technical have made him one of the most important voices to have emerged in French philosophy in the last decade. Both an accessible summation of that work and a continuation of it, The Re-Enchantment of the World advances a critique of consumer capitalism that draws on Freud and Marx to construct an utterly contemporary analysis of our time. The book explores the cognitive, affective, social and economic effects of the 'proletarianization' of the consumer in late capitalism and the resulting destruction of the consumer's savoir-vivre. Reflecting the collective work of his activist organisation, Ars Industrialis, Stiegler here sets forth an alternative path to that of 'industrial populism', one that appeals to the force of the human spirit. Bernard Stiegler is Director of the Institute of Research and Development at the Georges Pompidou Center, France and Associated Professor at Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK. Trevor Arthur is a PhD candidate in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research, New York, USA.

Nature, History, State 1933-1934 Martin Heidegger Translated by Gregory Fried & Richard Polt "There is no more disturbing or haunting event in philosophy’s recent history than that defined by Heidegger’s political activities in the 1930s. The protocols of Heidegger’s seminar, precisely translated and thoughtfully introduced, coupled with the excellent critical essays, are decisive texts for those who seek to understand this difficult matter." Dennis J. Schmidt, The Pennsylvania State University, USA Nature, History, State: 1933-1934 presents the first complete Englishlanguage translation of Heidegger's seminar 'On the Essence and Concepts of Nature, History and State', together with full introductory material and interpretive essays by five leading thinkers and scholars: Robert Bernasconi, Peter Eli Gordon, Marion Heinz, Theodore Kisiel and Slavoj Žižek. The seminar represents important evidence of the development of Heidegger's political thought. The text consists of ten 'protocols' on the seminar sessions, composed by students and reviewed by Heidegger. The seminar culminates in an attempt to sketch a political philosophy that supports the 'Führer state'. The text is important evidence for anyone considering the tortured question of Heidegger's Nazism and its connection to his philosophy in general. Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is regarded as one of the twentieth century's most important philosophers. Gregory Fried is Professor of Philosophy at Suffolk University, Boston, USA.

Between History and Hermeneutics The Selected Writings of Hans-Georg Gadamer: Volume I Hans-Georg Gadamer Translated by Pol Vandevelde & Arun Iyer

P rimary T exts

Edited by Arun Iyer Between History and Hermeneutics collects together Gadamer's most important untranslated writings on the problem of history and the major philosophical traditions of the 20th century from the standpoint of hermeneutics. Gadamer examines such important thinkers as Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Bourdieu and Habermas and their ongoing legacies. This volume also includes a substantial introduction from the translators that situates Gadamer's particular project and examines the place of hermeneutics vis-a-vis the disciplines of history and philosophy in the 20th century. Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) was the author of Truth and Method, and, more recently, of The Beginning of Philosophy and The Beginning of Knowledge.

Heraclitus The Inception of Occidental Thinking. Logic. Heraclitus' Teaching of the Logos Martin Heidegger Translated by Marnie Hanlon Heraclitus is the first English translation of Volume 55 of the Martin Heidegger Gesamtausgabe, comprising two lecture courses delivered by Heidegger at the University of Freiburg during the summers of 1943 and 1944, first published posthumously in German in 1979. Translating and interpreting the fragments of Heraclitus, in idiosyncratic style, Heidegger presents an essential rethink of previous translations of the ancient philosopher, questioning their interpretive authority. Moreover, his unique elucidation of the fragments sheds light not only on the enigmatic inceptual thinking and logos of the ancient thinker renowned as 'the obscure one', but also on the broader field of Occidental thinking and its logic, including discussion of many other significant thinkers and poets such as Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Hölderlin, and Rilke. Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is regarded as one of the twentieth century's most important philosophers. Marnie Hanlon is a freelance philosopher in Australia.

Philosophical Chemistry Genealogy of a Scientific Field

The Laughter of the Thracian Woman

Manuel DeLanda

A Protohistory of Theory

Philosophical Chemistry: Genealogy of a Scientific Field furthers Manuel DeLanda’s revolutionary intervention in the Philosophy of Science and Science Studies, last instigated in the ground-breaking Philosophy and Simulation: The Emergence of Synthetic Reason. Against a monadic and totalising understanding of Science, DeLanda’s historicising investigation traces the centrality of divergence, specialisation and hybridisation through the fields and subfields of Chemistry. The book uses a series of Chemical textbooks, separated from each other by fifty year periods (1750, 1800, 1850, and 1900), to follow the historical formation of consensus practices. The book is organized into three main chapters, each one dealing with one subfield of chemistry in the century in which it was developed. Philosophical Chemistry will be essential reading for those engaged in emergent, radical and contemporary Philosophy of Science, and for those who strive to practice a productive dialogue between the two disciplines. Manuel DeLanda is a distinguished writer, artist and philosopher. He is Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, USA.

Hans Blumenberg Translated by Spencer Hawkins This is the first English translation of Hans Blumenberg's The Laughter of the Thracian Woman, complete with annotations and a critical introduction. Blumenberg's book describes the reception history of an anecdote found in Plato's Theatetus dialogue: observing the stars above him, the early astronomer and proto-philosopher Thales of Miletus fails to see a well directly in his path and tumbles down— perhaps to his death. A Thracian servant-girl laughs, amused by his attempts to see what was above him at the expense of what was before him. Variants of this story recur in texts throughout the history of philosophy. Blumenberg shows how the story stands in for the unknowable history leading up to the intellectual attitude now known as 'theory'. By retelling the anecdote, philosophers reveal their distinctive values regarding absorption in curiosity, philosophy's past, and the demand that theorists abide by sanctioned methods and procedures. Hans Blumenberg (1920-1996) was one of the most significant German philosophers of the twentieth century. Spencer Hawkins is a translator and a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan, USA.

Bloomsbury Revelations New editions of the most original and influential of Bloomsbury’s non-fiction publishing; these are the essential works of the thinkers who have fundamentally shaped the way we see the modern world.

Origins of Analytical Philosophy Michael Dummett The 20th century was marked by the triumph of the 'analytic' tradition of philosophy, which remains dominant to this day. In his landmark reflection and exploration of the origins of analytic philosophy, Michael Dummett vividly explores the roots of that tradition in the writings of such German and Austrian thinkers as Frege, Husserl and Wittgenstein. Disputing the notion of analytic philosophy as an 'AngloAmerican' tradition, Dummett finds a shared well-spring in the works of the analytic and phenomenological traditions. Michael Dummett (1925-2011) was Wykeham Professor of Logic at the University of Oxford, UK and one of the most highly regarded British Philosophers of the post-war era. UK April 2014 • US June 2014

Edited by Keith AnsellPearson & John Ó Maoilearca

A.C. Grayling Is it ever right to target civilians in a time of war? Or do the ends sometimes justify the means? It is an issue that remains relevant today with the needs of the 'War on Terror' used to justify the use of drone strikes. In Among the Dead Cities, A.C. Grayling explores these moral issues in all their complexity with a detailed examination of the Allied bombing of German cities during World War 2. Considering the cases for and against the area bombing and the experiences of the bombed and the bombers, Grayling asks: was the targeting of civilians in Germany a crime? A.C. Grayling is Master of the New College of the Humanities, UK.

The Three Ecologies

Infinite Thought

Felix Guattari

Truth and the Return to Philosophy

Translated by Ian Pindar & Paul Sutton

Alain Badiou

Extending the definition of ecology to encompass social relations and human subjectivity as well as environmental concerns, The Three Ecologies argues that the ecological crises that threaten our planet are the direct result of the expansion of a new form of capitalism and that a new ecosophical approach must be found which respects the differences between all living systems. A powerful critique of capitalism and a manifesto for a new way of thinking, the book is also an ideal introduction to the work of one of Europe's most radical thinkers. This edition includes a chronology of Guattari's life and work, introductions to both his general philosophy and to the work itself, and extended notes to the original text. Félix Guattari (1930-1992) was a French psychoanalyst, philosopher, social theorist and radical activist. He is best known for his collaborative work with Gilles Deleuze. Ian Pindar is a freelance writer and editor. Paul Sutton is Senior Lecturer in Film and TV Studies at Roehampton University, UK. Gary Genosko is Professor of Communication at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Toronto, Canada. He is editor of The Guattari Reader, Deleuze and Guattari: Critical Assessments, and author of Baudrillard and Signs, Undisciplined Theory, and McLuhan and Baudrillard: The Masters of Implosion.

Edited by Oliver Feltham & Justin Clemens Alain Badiou (1937- ) is one of the most high profile and controversial philosophers writing in France today. A leading light in the generation of thinkers who come of intellectual age in 1968, his work deftly draws on a wide range of intellectual traditions and thinkers from Plato and Lucretius, through Heidegger to Lacan and Deleuze.

Now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series, Infinite Thought is a vivid demonstration of that range. Here Badiou introduces his own thought on the full gamut of intellectual concerns, from politics, psychoanalysis and art to truth, desire and the definition of philosophy itself. As well as Badiou’s reflections on the fall of communism and the ‘War on Terror’, the book also includes an interview with the author. Alain Badiou teaches at the École Normale Supérieure and at the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris, France. In addition to several novels, plays and political essays, he has published a number of major philosophical works, including Being and Event (also available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series).

Since its publication in 1968, Difference and Repetition, an exposition of the critique of identity, has come to be considered a contemporary classic in philosophy and one of Gilles Deleuze's most important works. The text follows the development of two central concepts, those of pure difference and complex repetition. It shows how the two concepts are related, difference implying divergence and decentring, repetition being associated with displacement and disguising. The work moves deftly between Hegel, Kierkegaard, Freud, Althusser and Nietzsche to establish a fundamental critique of Western metaphysics, and has been a central text in initiating the shift in French thought - away from Hegel and Marx, towards Nietzsche and Freud. Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was one of the key figures in poststructuralism, and one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. His major works include, with Felix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus and Anti-Oedipus (also available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series).

Everyday Examples

Introduction to New Realism

An Introduction to Philosophy

Maurizio Ferraris

David Cunning "Everyday Examples is an introductory text that lives up to its name. David Cunning's accessible, flexible, and versatile work enables readers to do philosophy, not just learn about it." Brett Gaul, Southwest Minnesota State University, USA In pairing key ideas from the history of philosophy with examples from everyday life and culture, David Cunning produces a clear, incisive and engaging introduction to philosophy. Everyday Examples explores historical philosophy and the contemporary theory scene and includes ideas from both the analytic and continental traditions. This broad sweep of topics provides a synoptic overview of philosophy as a discipline and philosophizing as an activity. With examples drawn from everything from The Matrix and Sesame Street to sleepwalking, driving, dancing, playing a sport and observing animals, students are pointed to ways in which they can be a philosopher outside the classroom in the everyday world. As well as providing entertaining and relatable examples this book will be especially useful in the classroom: it is accessible and discussion-oriented so that students can get first-hand practice at actually 'doing' philosophy. This accessibility does not come at the expense of rigour, rather, it provides a 'way in' to thinking about the major issues, figures and moments in the history of philosophy. There are suggested study questions at the end of each chapter that bring out the force of each side of the many different issues. David Cunning is Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Philosophy Department at the University of Iowa, USA.

Doing More Philosophy An Advanced Guide for Students David Mossley The follow-up text to the best-selling Doing Philosophy, this book offers guidance on the more advanced capabilities, skills and knowledge that are needed to succeed in undergraduate philosophy from the end of the first year through to final examinations and dissertations. It will also be of value to postgraduate students coming new to philosophy from other fields of study. This book gives the reader the tools and, more importantly, the confidence to tackle challenging contemporary materials. The book gives advice and guidance on the activities of reading, writing and learning philosophy across the major western schools, and addresses specific issues in contemporary European philosophy. Special attention is paid to the core subjects now taught in university departments; concepts in metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, logic and moral theory, but also the challenges of applied ethics, critical thinking, philosophy of science, political philosophy, phenomenology and themes from deconstruction. David Mossley is an independent consultant specialising in the application of philosophy to education and management. He has been a Senior Adviser at the Higher Education Academy and Centre Manager at the Subject Centre for Philosophy and Religious Studies.

Introduction to New Realism provides an overview of this movement of contemporary thought, by its creator and most celebrated practitioner, Maurizio Ferraris. Sharing significant concerns and features with Speculative Realism and Object Oriented Ontology, New Realism is one of the most prescient philosophical positions today. Its desire to overcome the postmodern antirealism of Kantian origin, and to reassert the importance of truth and objectivity in the name of a new Enlightenment, has had an enormous resonance both in Europe and the US. Introduction to New Realism is the first volume dedicated to exposing this continental movement to an anglophone audience. Featuring a foreword by the eminent contemporary philosopher and leading exponent of Speculative Realism, Iain Hamilton Grant, the book begins by tracing the genesis of New Realism, and outlining its central theoretical tenets, before opening onto three distinct sections. 'Negativity' is a critique of the postmodern idea that the world is constructed by our conceptual schemas, 'positivity' proposes the fundamental ontological assertion of New Realism and 'normativity' applies New Realism to the sphere of the social world. Finally, an afterword written by two young scholars explains in more detail the relationship between New Realism and other forms of contemporary realism. Maurizio Ferraris is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Turin, Italy where he is also the Director of the LabOnt (Laboratory for Ontology).

A Critical Introduction to Formal Epistemology Darren Bradley Formal methods are changing how epistemology is being studied and understood. A Critical Introduction to Formal Epistemology introduces the types of formal theories and logic being used and explains how they are shaping the subject. Beginning with the basics of probability and Bayesianism, it applies the techniques to beliefs and shows how they inform central debates in justification and knowledge.

Costica Bradatan "One of the primary merits of Costica Bradatan’s book is that it explores a cluster of topics that represent the untold, the unuttered, almost the unutterable in contemporary philosophy: death, dying, annihilation, sacrifice and self-sacrifice. Ours is a culture of ‘happy endings’ and, in this respect, most philosophers of today are the spokesperson of their time. Bradatan is a dissenter. His book approaches death head-on. What makes this project remarkable is the fact that, while the book purports to be about ‘dying for an idea,’ it in fact sings praise to life." Simon Critchley, New School for Social Research, New York, USA Dying for Ideas explores the limit-situation in which philosophers find themselves when the only means of persuasion they can use is their own dying bodies and the public spectacle of their death. In the manner of a dramatic narrative, the book tells the story of the philosopher's encounter with death as seen from several angles: the tradition of philosophy as a way of life; the body as the locus of fundamental human experiences; death of a classical philosophical topic; fear of death as a torturer of philosophical minds; finally, the philosophers' scapegoating and their live performance of a martyr's death, followed by apotheosis and disappearance into myth. While rooted in the history of philosophy, Dying for Ideas is an exercise in challenging and breaking disciplinary boundaries. This is a book about Socrates and Heidegger, but also about Gandhi's "fasting unto death" and self-immolation as political protest; about Girard and Passolini, and still about self-fashioning and the art of the essay; Boethius and Montaigne are discussed, and so are Bergman's Seventh Seal and Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilyich. Costica Bradatan is Associate Professor in the Honors College at Texas Tech University, USA.

How to Win Every Argument The Use and Abuse of Logic Madsen Pirie In the second edition of this witty and infectious book, Madsen Pirie builds upon his guide to using - and indeed abusing - logic in order to win arguments. By including new chapters on how to win arguments in writing, in the pub, with a friend, on Facebook and in 140 characters (on Twitter), Pirie provides the complete guide to truimphing in altercations ranging from the everyday to the downright serious. He identifies with devastating examples all the most common fallacies popularly used in argument. We all like to think of ourselves as clearheaded and logical - but all readers will find in this book fallacies of which they themselves are guilty. The author shows you how to simultaneously strengthen your own thinking and identify the weaknesses in other people arguments. And, more mischievously, Pirie also shows how to be deliberately illogical - and get away with it. This book will make you maddeningly smart: your family, friends and opponents will all wish that you had never read it. Publisher's warning: In the wrong hands this book is dangerous. We recommend that you arm yourself with it whilst keeping out of the hands of others. Only buy this book as a gift if you are sure that you can trust the recipient.

A Philosophical Walking Tour with C.S. Lewis Why it Did Not Include Rome Stewart Goetz

today.

Although it has been almost seventy years since Time declared C.S. Lewis one of the world's most influential spokespersons for Christianity and fifty years since Lewis's death, his influence remains just as great if not greater

While much has been written on Lewis and his work, virtually nothing has been written from a philosophical perspective on his views of happiness, pleasure, pain, and the soul and body. As a result, no one thus far recognized that his views on these matters are deeply interesting and controversial, and—perhaps more jarring—no one has yet explained why Lewis never became a Roman Catholic. Stewart Goetz's careful investigation of Lewis's thought reveals oft-overlooked implications and demonstrates that it was, at its root, at odds with those of Thomas Aquinas and the Roman Catholic Church.

Encyclopedia of the American Enlightenment Edited by Mark G. Spencer The Encyclopedia of the American Enlightenment is the first reference work on this key subject in early American history. With over 500 original essays on key American Enlightenment figures, it provides a comprehensive account to complement the intense scholarly activity that has recently centered on the European Enlightenment. With substantial and original essays on the major American Enlightenment figures, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, David Rittenhouse, Benjamin Rush, Jonathan Edwards and many others, this wide-ranging collection includes topical essays and entries on dozens of often-overlooked secondary figures. It has long been known that Americans made their own contributions to the Enlightenment, most notably by putting Enlightenment ideas to work in defining the American Revolution, the United States Constitution, and the nature of the early American Republic. These volumes show that the American Enlightenment was more far reaching than even that story assumes. Presenting a fresh definition of the Enlightenment in America, this remarkable work confirms that the American Enlightenment constitutes the central framework for understanding the development of American history between in the 18th and 19th century. Mark G. Spencer is Associate Professor of History at Brock University and has published widely in the fields relating to American Enlightenment.

The Bloomsbury Companion to Existentialism

Deleuze and Futurism

Edited by Felicity Joseph, Jack Reynolds & Ashley Woodward

Helen Palmer

"An exceptionally fruitful addition to the Companions, this volume on Existentialism gathers together an impressive range of scholars on a wide variety of research areas ranging through the philosophical, the psychoanalytic, the historical, the religious, and the literary to contemporary cognitive science and politics. Highly recommended for students and academics alike." Christina Howells, University of Oxford, UK Now available in paperback, this book covers the fundamental questions asked by existentialism. Chapters explore existentialism's relationship to philosophical method; ontology; politics; psychoanalysis; ethics; religion; literature; emotion; feminism and sexuality; emotions; authenticity and the self; its significance in Latin American culture; and its contribution to the development of post-structuralism and cognitive science. In addition, five short chapters summarize the status of canonical figures Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre and de Beauvoir, delineating the historical approach to their work, while pointing to new directions contemporary research is now taking. The volume features a series of indispensable research tools such as an A to Z glossary, a timeline of key events, texts and thinkers in existentialism, a list of resources, and an annotated guide to further reading. Jack Reynolds is Chair of Philosophy at Deakin University, Australia. Felicity Joseph teaches philosophy at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

A Manifesto for Nonsense "In this exceptionally rewarding study of Deleuze and futurism, Helen Palmer enacts new possibilities for rigorous scholarship, where precise formal analysis and powerful conceptual innovation combine to give us the deepest practical explanation of Deleuze’s radical philosophy of language, while pointing to the continued importance of futurism as template for avant-garde movements." James Williams, University of Dundee, UK This book is an original exploration of Deleuze's dynamic philosophies of space, time and language, bringing Deleuze and futurism together for the first time. Helen Palmer investigates both the potential for creative novelty and the pitfalls of formalism within both futurist and Deleuzian linguistic practices. Through creative and rigorous analyses of Russian and Italian futurist manifestos, the 'futurist' aspects of Deleuze's language and thought are drawn out.

C ontinental P hilosophy

The genre of the futurist manifesto is a literary and linguistic model which can be applied to Deleuze's work, not only at times when he writes explicitly in the style of a manifesto but also in his earlier writings such as Difference and Repetition (1968). With a particular focus on Russian zaum, the book negotiates the philosophy behind futurist 'nonsense' language and how Deleuze propounds analogous goals in The Logic of Sense. It also critically engages with Deleuze's poetics, ultimately suggesting that multiple linguistic models operate synecdochically within his philosophy.

Playful Intelligence Digitizing Tradition

The Relationship between the Physical and the Moral in Man Maine de Biran Translated by Darian Meacham & Joseph Spadola Frequently referred to as the ‘French Kant’ Maine de Biran was dubbed the greatest metaphysician of France since Descartes and Malebranche by Henri Bergson, indicating the huge impact that Biran’s work had during the nineteenth century and beyond. This volume situates Biran within the development of modern French, German and British philosophy and illustrates the deep influence he had on major figures such as Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Michel Henry, and Paul Ricoeur; the distinction between the virtual and the actual, as well as the concepts of effort and puissance, that were enormously important to Deleuze and Foucault; and the notion of corps propre, so important to phenomenology in the twentieth century, which originates in the work of Maine de Biran. This translation and accompanying essays makes the mature thought of this vastly important philosopher available to English speaking audiences for the first time. Editor: Dr Darian Meacham is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK.

Henry Sussman This is a guide, in theory and in practice, to how current technological changes have impacted our interaction with texts and with each other. Henry Sussman rereads pivotal moments in literary, philosophical and cultural modernity as anticipating the cybernetic discourse that has increasingly defined theory since the computer revolution. Cognitive science, psychoanalysis and systems theory are paralleled to current trends in literary and philosophical theory. Chapters alternate between theory and readings of literary texts, resulting in a broad but rigorously grounded framework for the relation between literature and computer science. This book is a refreshing perspective on the analog-orientated tradition of theory in the humanities – and offers the first literary-textual genealogy of the digital.

Post-Rationalism

Levinas's 'Totality and Infinity'

Psychoanalysis, Epistemology, and Marxism in Post-War France

A Reader's Guide

Tom Eyers "Eyers’s rubric of ‘post-rationalism’ clears the ground for a new, more nuanced conception of structuralist thought ... Eyers has restored, with remarkable clarity and comprehensiveness, the crucial details of a bigger picture – one whose continuing reconstruction will further accentuate its political resonance, past and present." Radical Philosophy Post-Rationalism takes the experimental journal of psychoanalysis and philosophy, Cahiers pour l’Analyse, as its main source. Established by students of Louis Althusser in 1966, the journal has rarely figured in the literature, although it contained the first published work of authors now famous in contemporary critical thought, including Alain Badiou, JeanClaude Milner, Luce Irigaray, André Green and Jacques-Alain Miller. The Cahiers served as a testing ground for the combination of diverse intellectual sources indicative of the period, including the influential reinvention of Freud and Marx undertaken by Lacan and Althusser, and the earlier postrationalist philosophy of science pioneered by Gaston Bachelard, Georges Canguilhem and Alexandre Koyré. This book is a wide-ranging analysis of the intellectual foundations of structuralism, re-connecting the work of young post-Lacanian and postAlthusserian theorists with their predecessors in French philosophy of science. Focussing on the ways in which French epistemological writing of the 1930s and 1940s - especially that of Bachelard and Canguilhem - laid the ground for the emergence of structuralism in the 1950s and 1960s, Tom Eyers questions the standard historical narrative that posits structuralism as emerging chiefly in reaction to phenomenology and existentialism.

Between Levinas and Lacan Self, Other, Ethics Mari Ruti Levinas and Lacan, two giants of contemporary theory, represent schools of thought that seem poles apart. In this major new work, Mari Ruti charts the ethical terrain between them. In their understanding of the self-other relationship both Levinas and Lacan see the subject’s relationship to the other as primary in the sense that the subject, literally, does not exist without the other, but they understand the challenge of ethics quite differently: while Levinas laments our failure to adequately meet the ethical demand arising from the other, Lacan laments the consequences of our failure to adequately escape the forms this demand frequently takes. Although this book outlines the major differences between Levinas and Judith Butler on the one hand and Lacan, Slavoj Žižek, and Alain Badiou on the other, Ruti proposes that, underneath these differences, one can discern a shared concern with the thorny relationship between the singularity of experience and the universality of ethics.

William Large Emmanuel Levinas's Totality and Infinity is a monumental work of phenomenological enquiry that goes on to assert the centrality of ethics to philosophical thought. This Reader's Guide breaks down the occasionally intimidating but always inspirational content of Totality and Infinity for non-specialist readers, unpacking the complexities of Levinas's thought with clarity and rigour. The guide combines a close-reading of the text with the foundations required to engage with Levinas's work - the legacy of Husserl and phenomenologists as well as Jewish philosophers like Hermann Cohen and Franz Rosenzweig - and broader issues and problems of how we might consider ethics today. William Large addresses critics of Levinas's work, like Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek, and also considers the political consequences of Levinas's work as problematized by Simon Critchley. The guide offers further assistance by outlining key themes, approaches to reading the text, the reception and influence of the work and secondary reading materials.

The Poetics of Sleep From Aristotle to Nancy Simon Morgan Wortham "With an impressive historical and philosophical range, Simon Morgan Wortham shows how the idea of sleep has been a constant complication for western thought. In clear and elegant prose, [he] explores issues of consciousness, representation, biology, physiology and writing in a fascinating way that will keep readers wakeful." Robert Eaglestone, University of London, UK To what extent does sleep constitute a limit for the philosophical imagination? Why does it recur throughout philosophy? What is at issue in the repeated relegation of sleep to the realm of physiological study (as in Kant, Freud and Bergson), in favour of promoting the critical investigation of dreams and dreaming as a key indicator of modernity? Does philosophy entail a certain repression of the poetics of sleep in all its conceptual impossibility? Through a series of engagements with key thinkers in modern European philosophy, this book rearticulates a poetics of sleep at the heart of some of its seminal texts. From the problematic yet instructive status of a Kantian discourse on sleep to the conceptual contradictions inherent in psychoanalytic thought and the rich possibilities of thinking 'sleep' in the writings of Bergson, Blanchot and Nancy, the book's aim is to dredge the remains of sleep - not to bring its secrets to the surface of waking life, but instead to draw closer to what falls under or away in thinking and writing 'sleep'.

The Subject of Rosi Braidotti Politics and Concepts Edited by Bolette Blaagaard & Iris van der Tuin "The sheer breadth of her scholarship and her sympathies is mediated by her ability to inform and inspire. The essays here range over her interests and draw us in yet again to the debates close to her heart." Christina Slade, Bath Spa University, UK The Subject of Rosi Braidotti: Politics and Concepts brings into focus the diverse influence of the work of Rosi Braidotti on academic fields in the humanities and the social sciences such as the study and scholarship in among others - feminist theory, political theory, continental philosophy, philosophy of science and technology, cultural studies, ethnicity and race studies. Inspired by Braidotti's philosophy of nomadic relations of embodied thought, the volume is a mapping exercise of productive engagements and instructive interactions by a variety of international, outstanding and world-renowned scholars with texts and concepts developed by Braidotti throughout her immense body of work. Bolette Blaagaard is Assistant Professor of Communications at the Department of Communications and Psychology at Aalborg University, Copenhagen, Denmark, and honorary visiting fellow at the Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism at City University, London.

Philosophy of History After Hayden White Edited by Robert Doran "Hayden White’s diagnosis of history as constructed narrative has wreaked permanent damage to traditional conceptions; it is no longer the moment simply to assess that damage, but rather to respond to it with new proposals and new creativity, something this extraordinarily stimulating collection does in exemplary fashion." Fredric Jameson, Duke University, USA This anthology of new essays explores the ground-breaking work of Hayden White, whose thought, beginning with his seminal Metahistory (1973), has revolutionized the way we think about the philosophy of history, historiography, narrative, and the relation between history and literature. Representing a variety of disciplines and approaches, the contributions to this volume testify to the far-reaching effects and significance of White's philosophy of history. Individual essays relate White's ideas to contemporary art, cognitive studies, Heideggerian hermeneutics, Kant's transcendental philosophy, analytic philosophy of history, Marxist cultural theory, and the Kantian sublime. A substantial introduction by the editor traces the genesis of White's philosophy of history, situating it with respect to both the Anglo-American and Continental traditions. The volume also features a previously unpublished essay by White, which offers a concise overview of his later thought, and a "Comment" written specifically for this volume, in which White revisits the question of the philosophy of history. Robert Doran is James P. Wilmot Assistant Professor of French and Comparative Literature at the University of Rochester, USA.

Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Visual Art Edited by Ian Buchanan & Lorna Collins The concept of schizoanalysis is Deleuze and Guattari’s fusion of psychoanalytic-inspired theories of the self, the libido and desire with Marx-inspired theories of the economy, history and society. Schizoanalysis holds that art’s function is both political and aesthetic – it changes perception. If one cannot change perception, then, one cannot change anything politically. Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Visual Art explores how every artist, good or bad, contributes to the structure and nature of society because their work either reinforces social norms, or challenges them. From this point of view we are all artists, we all have the potential to exercise what might be called a ‘aesthetico-political function’ and change the world around us; or, conversely, we can not only let the status quo endure, but fight to preserve it as though it were freedom itself. This impressive collection of writings by both academics and practicing artists is an exciting imaginative tool for a upper level students and academics researching and studying visual arts, critical theory, continental philosophy, and media.

Genealogies of Speculation

Language and Being

Materialism and Subjectivity since Structuralism

Heidegger's Linguistics

Edited by Suhail Malik & Armen Avanessian In sharp contrast to dominant 20th century philosophical approaches emphasizing subjectivity as a condition for all experience and knowledge, recent innovations in philosophy propose a ‘speculative’ breakthrough in comprehending our encounter with reality. The true picture is, however, more complex, with many debts accrued on both sides of this artificial division. Genealogies of Speculation looks to unlock these historically simplifying and politically stultifying deadlocks by explicitly identifying the continuities and debts between recent speculative thought and the twentieth century anti-foundationalist philosophy it commonly pitches itself against. Drawing attention to precursors in methodology, results, concepts, and applications of speculative philosophy in the very field of thought it loudly claims to leave behind, Genealogies of Speculation challenges the currently emerging paradigms of philosophical history, conceptual innovation, and the theoretical resources and routes available to researchers now and in the future. Suhail Malik is Reader in Critical Studies in the Department of Art, Goldsmiths, London, UK.

Badiou's Being and Event and the Mathematics of Set Theory Burhanuddin Baki "Readers of Badiou without a background knowledge of the relevant mathematical concepts have long been in urgent need of a book like this. Baki elucidates those concepts with great authority and flair, as well as a gifted expositor's sure sense of just how to vary the pace according to level of difficulty." Christopher Norris, Cardiff University, UK Alain Badiou's Being and Event continues to impact philosophical investigations into the question of Being. By exploring the central role set theory plays in this influential work, Burhanuddin Baki presents the first extended study of Badiou's use of mathematics. Adopting a clear, straightforward approach, Baki gathers together and explains the technical details of the relevant high-level mathematics in Being and Event. He examines Badiou's philosophical framework in close detail, showing exactly how it is 'conditioned' by the technical mathematics. Clarifying the relevant details of Badiou's mathematics, Baki provides valuable insights into Badiou's philosophy of mathematics. This is an excellent commentary and a new reading of Badiou's most complex and important work.

Duane Williams Language and Being: Heidegger's Linguistics explores and elucidates Martin Heidegger's radical and often controversial reflections on language. The study of language was not simply a passing interest in Heidegger's thinking, but a fundamental, career-long concern as significant to him as his study of being. This book traces the intimate connection between language and being in Heidegger's thought, and shows how they cannot be understood apart from one another. It discusses why Heidegger's undervalued philosophy of language is increasingly important, how it figures in the wider context of his work, ways in which it is misinterpreted, and how it is to be approached and understood. This includes the significance to Heidegger of, for example, being, the logos principle, etymology, phenomenology, mysticism, poetry, and aesthetics. This book illuminates a difficult yet highly significant area in Heidegger's thinking, providing readers with a scholarly, insightful and authoritative interpretation of the subject.

Nothingness and the Meaning of Life Philosophical Approaches to Ultimate Meaning Through Nothing and Reflexivity Nicholas Waghorn "Waghorn traverses difficult terrain concerning an ultimate kind of meaning in life that most of the contemporary philosophical literature has avoided in favour of more familiar, readily analyzable conditions." Thaddeus Metz, University of Johannesburg, South Africa Waghorn sheds light on this most fundamental of existential problems through a detailed examination of the notion of nothing, embracing classic and cutting-edge literature from both the analytic and continental traditions. Central figures such as Heidegger, Carnap, Wittgenstein, Nozick and Nagel are drawn upon to anchor the discussion in some of the most influential discussion of recent philosophical history. In the process of relating our ideas concerning nothing to the problem of life's meaning, Waghorn's book touches upon a number of fundamental themes, including reflexivity and its relation to our conceptual limits, whether religion has any role to play in the question of life's meaning, and the nature and constraints of philosophical methodology. A number of major philosophical traditions are addressed, including phenomenology, poststructuralism, and classical and paraconsistent logics.

Jean-Luc Nancy and the Thinking of Otherness Philosophy and Powers of Existence Daniele Rugo "This is a rich and brilliant study of Jean-Luc Nancy's thought, bringing to the fore his relation with other thinkers, in particular Heidegger and Levinas ... a brilliant discussion of Nancy's thinking, provocative and imaginative, well-researched and rich." François Raffoul, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Jean-Luc Nancy and the Thinking of Otherness is the first book in English to provide a sustained account of the relationship between Nancy, Levinas and Heidegger. It investigates Jean-Luc Nancy’s reading of Heidegger, focusing on the question of Being-with, and starting with the problem of otherness in Heidegger, the book goes on to establish a dialogue between Nancy and the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. With intellectual agility and command of cinema, literature and visual art, Daniele Rugo insists on the critical significance of Nancy’s project for any future philosophy attempting to define itself beyond foundational acts, and according to the continuous crossings at the heart of existence. By discussing Nancy alongside Heidegger and Levinas, Rugo underlines the essential indecision between philosophy-as-literature and philosophy as the re-appropriation of the question of Being. Daniele Rugo is Visiting Tutor in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK, where he created InC, Continental Philosophy Research Group.

Between the Canon and the Messiah

Jean-Luc Nancy and the Question of Community

The Structure of Faith in Contemporary Continental Thought

Ignaas Devisch

Colby Dickinson "In this impressive new book, Dickinson sets forth a compelling agenda for a radical theological hermeneutics ... Between the Canon and Messiah reconfigures our map of contemporary philosophy and theology." Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas, USA Dickinson traces the development of two concepts, the messianic and the canonical, in the work of three prominent continental philosophers: Walter Benjamin, Jacques Derrida and Giorgio Agamben, though a strong supporting cast also play their respective roles throughout this study. By narrowing the scope of this study to the dynamics generated historically by these contrasting terms, he also seeks to determine what exactly lies at the heart of theology's seemingly most treasured object: the presentation beyond any representation, the supposed true nucleus of all revelation and what lies behind any search for a 'theology of immanence' today.

The question of community is central to our daily life: where do we belong to, what do we share with each other? The French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy has made these questions one of the central topics of his oeuvre. Jean-Luc Nancy and the Question of Community is the first to elaborate extensively this question within Nancy. Ignaas Devisch sketches the philosophical debate on community today and puts the work of Nancy within its intellectual context, from Heidegger and Derrida, to Bataille and Blanchot. Devisch argues that Nancy’s work takes another look at community, at the social bond and at identity more generally than we are used to. Ignaas Devisch is Professor in Ethics and Philosophy. He holds positions at Ghent University and University College Arteveldehogeschool, Belgium.

The Time of Revolution Kairos and Chronos in Heidegger Felix O Murchadha This book presents Heidegger as a thinker of revolution. Understanding revolution as an occurrence whereby the previously unforeseeable comes to appear as inevitable, the temporal character of such an event is explored through Heidegger's discussion of temporality and historicity. Beginning with his magnum opus, Being and Time, Heidegger is shown to have undertaken a radical rethinking of time in terms of human action, understood as involving both doing and making and as implicated in an interplay of the opportune moment (kairos) and temporal continuity (chronos). Developing this theme through his key writings of the early 1930s, the book shows how Heidegger's analyses of truth and freedom led to an increasingly dialectical account of time and action culminating in his phenomenology of the - artistic and political - 'work'. A context is thus given for Heidegger's political engagement in 1933. While diagnosing the moral failure of this engagement, the book defends Heidegger's account of the time of human action and shows it to foreshadow his later thought of a 'new beginning'.

Levinas, Storytelling and AntiStorytelling

Derrida and the Future of the Liberal Arts

Will Buckingham

Professions of Faith

The telling of tales is always a troubling business, and the way in which we tell stories about ourselves and about others always involves a degree of ethical risk. Levinas, Storytelling and Anti-Storytelling explores the troubling nature of storytelling through a reading of the work of Emmanuel Levinas.

Edited by Mary Caputi & Vincent J. Del Casino, Jr.

Levinas is a thinker who has a complex relationship with literature and with storytelling. At times, Levinas is a teller of powerful tales about ethics; at other times, on ethical grounds, he disavows storytelling altogether. Levinas, Storytelling and Anti-Storytelling explores the tensions between philosophy and storytelling that run throughout Levinas's work. By asking about how Levinas tells and untells his stories, and by risking the telling of tales that Levinas himself does not dare to tell, this book opens up new ways of thinking about Levinas's ethics of responsibility. It may be, as Levinas often insists, that storytelling presents us with ethical dangers; but Levinas, Storytelling and Anti-Storytelling makes the case that an ethics of responsibility may demand that, whilst mindful of these dangers, we nevertheless continually seek out new stories to tell about ourselves, about others and about the world.

Deleuze and the History of Mathematics

"This is an excellent collection with notable scholars like Simon Critchley, Christopher Norris, Jonathan Culler mixing it with younger and subject specialist scholars ... If there was one book to read on the university this year, it would have to be Derrida and the Future of the Liberal Arts." Michael A. Peters, University of Waikato, New Zealand Derrida and the Future of the Liberal Arts highlights the Derridean assertion that the university must exist 'without condition' - as a bastion of intellectual freedom and oppositional activity whose job it is to question mainstream society. This collection contains eleven essays drawn from international scholars working in both the humanities and social sciences, and makes a wellgrounded case for the importance of Derridean thought within the liberal arts today. Written by specialists in the fields of philosophy, literature, history, sociology, geography, political science, animal studies, and gender studies, each essay traces deconstruction's contribution to their discipline, explaining how it helps keep alive the 'unconditional', contrapuntal mission of the university.

In Defense of the 'New' Simon B. Duffy Gilles Deleuze's engagements with mathematics, replete in his work, rely upon the construction of alternative lineages in the history of mathematics, which challenge some of the self imposed limits that regulate the canonical concepts of the discipline. For Deleuze, these challenges provide an opportunity to reconfigure particular philosophical problems - for example, the problem of individuation - and to develop new concepts in response to them. The highly original research presented in this book explores the mathematical construction of Deleuze's philosophy, as well as addressing the undervalued and often neglected question of the mathematical thinkers who influenced his work. In the wake of Alain Badiou's recent and seemingly devastating attack on the way the relation between mathematics and philosophy is configured in Deleuze's work, Simon B. Duffy offers a robust defence of the structure of Deleuze's philosophy and, in particular, the adequacy of the mathematical problems used in its construction. By reconciling Badiou and Deleuze's seemingly incompatible engagements with mathematics, Duffy succeeds in presenting a solid foundation for Deleuze's philosophy, rebuffing the recent challenges against it.

Rethinking Philosophy and Theology with Deleuze A New Cartography Brent Adkins & Paul R. Hinlicky "Adkins and Hinlicky succeed in opening up new directions, for both philosophy and theology, beyond deism, theism, and atheism ... a timely gift for theology, providing it with just what it needs, while at the same time giving philosophy more to think about." Bo Kristian Holm, Aarhus University, Denmark The debate between faith and reason has been a dominant feature of Western thought for more than two millennia. This book takes up the problem of the relation between philosophy and theology and proposes that this relation can be reconceived if both philosophy and theology are seen as different ways of organising affects. Brent Adkins and Paul R. Hinlicky break new ground in this timely debate in two ways. Firstly, they lay bare the contemporary dependence on Kant and propose that our Kantian inheritance leaves us with an insuperable dualism. Secondly, the authors argue that the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze provides a way of resolving the debate between faith and reason that does justice to philosophy and theology by reconceiving of both as assemblages.

Heidegger, History and the Holocaust

Egalitarian Moments

Mahon O'Brien

Devin Zane Shaw

From Descartes to Rancière

This book is an important contribution to the longstanding debate concerning Martin Heidegger's association with some of the most significant and terrible events of the 20th century, most notably National Socialism and the Holocaust. This is a difficult topic, but this book moves the entire debate on 'Heidegger and the Political' forward. This is a genuinely philosophical approach to the 'Heidegger problem' and a much-needed historical reexamination of his ideas, influences and issues.

Jacques Rancière places equality at the forefront of emancipatory political thought. This book locates the historical and critical sources of Rancière's politics and aesthetics in the modern period. Drawing on Rancière's suggestion that egalitarian politics persistently appropriates elements from political philosophy to engage new forms of dissensus, Shaw uncovers a series of egalitarian moments from the histories of modern philosophy and aesthetics, and goes on to examine Rancière's debates with Badiou, psychoanalysis, and Marxism.

Mahon O'Brien is currently IRCHSS Research Fellow in the School of Philosophy at University College Dublin, Ireland. He is the author of Heidegger and Authenticity: From Resoluteness to Releasement (Continuum, 2011)

From the Cartesian bonsens, through the aesthetics of Schiller and Benjamin, to an important revaluation of existentialism and Marxism, this is a concise tour through the subterranean currents of the history of egalitarianism.

Translated by Juan Pablo Hernandez Betancur "Escudero's new book provides one of the most detailed accounts we have of the genesis of Heidegger's question of being. Attending to the historical situation in which Heidegger's thought took shape, this well researched and clearly written volume traces the phenomenological and hermeneutic path from Heidegger's earliest student publications through the period of Sein und Zeit. It should prove useful to beginners and more advanced scholars alike." Steven Crowell, Rice University, USA Heidegger and the Emergence of the Question of Being offers a new, updated and comprehensive introduction to Heidegger's development and his early confrontation with philosophical tradition, theology, neo-Kantianism, vitalism, hermeneutics, and phenomenology, up to the publication of Being and Time in 1927. The main thread is the genealogy of the question of the meaning of being. Alongside the most recent scholarly research, this book takes into account the documentary richness of Heidegger's first Freiburg (1919-1923) and Marburg (1923-1928) lectures, conferences, treatises and letters and addresses the thematic and methodological richness of this period of Heidegger's intellectual life, and offers a coherent and unified interpretation of his earlier work. This book conveys Heidegger's thought in a well-organized, impartial manner, without deviating too far from Heideggerian vocabulary. It will be invaluable for upper level undergraduates, graduate students of philosophy, studying phenomenology, continental and German philosophy.

Philosophy, Sophistry, Antiphilosophy Badiou's Dispute with Lyotard Matthew R. McLennan Alain Badiou’s work in philosophy, though daunting, has gained a receptive and steadily growing Anglophone readership. What is not well known is the extent to which Badiou’s positions, vis-à-vis ontology, ethics, politics and the very meaning of philosophy, were hammered out in dispute with the late Jean-François Lyotard. Matthew R. McLennan's Philosophy, Sophistry, Antiphilosophy is the first work to pose the question of the relation between Lyotard and Badiou, and in so doing constitutes a significant intervention in the field of contemporary European philosophy by revisiting one of its most influential and controversial forefathers. Badiou himself has underscored the importance of Lyotard for his own project; might the recent resurgence of interest in Lyotard be tied in some way to Badiou’s comments? Or deeper still: might not Badiou’s philosophical Platonism beg an encounter with philosophy’s other, the figure of the sophist that Lyotard played so often and so ably? Posing pertinent questions and opening new discursive channels in the literature on these two major figures this book is of interest to those studying philosophy, literary theory, fine art, cultural and media studies.

Theories of Truth An Introduction Timothy M. Mosteller "Mosteller’s book is a terrific introduction to the complex metaphysical controversies involved in getting clear about the nature of truth. It manages to combine accessibility with philosophical sophistication. The reader not only gets a thorough introduction to the history of philosophical thought about how to understand truth, but also a vigorous defense of a version of a hard-core realism in the form of a theory of truth as correspondence." Richard Fumerton, University of Iowa, USA From the Pre-Socratics to the 21st century, Theories of Truth: An Introduction provides an introductory account of the major theories of truth. Starting with a defense of the importance of truth in reflection, this introduction guides readers through correspondence, coherence, deflationist and pragmatic theories to the connection between truth and rationality. Without assuming prior knowledge, it thematically introduces the key theories and explains the challenges and objections that exist as well as the links that can be made with other areas of human inquiry. Informative and critical, each chapter covers a single theory and presents a robust coverage of the debates, accessible descriptions of technicalities and an accurate account of the history.

Debates in the Metaphysics of Time Edited by L. Nathan Oaklander "Consisting entirely of new material ... this book provides a number of helpful insights into contemporary discussions of the metaphysics of time. The material will provide scholars and students alike with a useful resource to help them further explore the nature of time." Jonathan Tallant, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Nottingham, UK A core topic in metaphysics, time is also central to issues in the philosophy of science, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of religion. Debates in the Metaphysics of Time explores these close philosophical connections and tackles the contemporary debates using an interactive approach. Contributors put forward their views before commenting on the ideas of other contributors and defending against objections. Divided into ‘metaphysics and time', ‘consciousness and time' and ‘God, time and human freedom', chapters are organized around key questions, including: • How are we to understand the passage of time, or the 'change' an event seems to undergo when it moves from the future to the present and then recedes into the more and more distant past? • Can we only be directly aware of what is momentary if we directly experience change and duration? • How is God related to time and is divine foreknowledge and human freedom compatible?

An Introduction to the History of Philosophical and Formal Logic From Aristotle to Tarski Edited by Alex Malpass & Marianna Antonutti Marfori An Introduction to the History of Philosophical and Formal Logic introduces ideas and thinkers central to the development of philosophical and formal logic. From its Aristotelian origins to the present-day arguments, logic is broken down into four main time periods: • Antiquity and the Middle Ages (Aristotle and The Stoics) • The early modern period (Leibniz, Bolzano, Boole) • High modern period (Frege, Peano &; Russell and Hilbert) • Early 20th century: (Godel and Tarski) Each new time frame begins with an introductory overview highlighting themes and points of importance. Chapters discuss the significance and reception of influential works and look at historical arguments in the context of contemporary debates. To support independent study, comprehensive lists of primary and secondary reading are included at the end of chapters, along with exercises and discussion questions. By clearly presenting and explaining the changes to logic across the history of philosophy, An Introduction to the History of Philosophical and Formal Logic constructs an easy-to-follow narrative. This is an ideal starting point for students looking to understand the historical development of logic. Alex Malpass is Teaching Fellow in the Department of Philosophy, University of Bristol, UK.

Dialectic of the Ladder

Metaphysics and Grammar

Wittgenstein, the ‘Tractatus’ and Modernism

William Charlton

Benjamin Ware Despite almost a century of exegesis, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921) remains one of the most enigmatic works of twentieth century thought. Questions about the book’s form, its philosophical themes, and the nature of the author’s aims and methods continue to be fiercely debated. This study aims to show how new and revealing light can be cast upon these questions by looking at the Tractatus in the aesthetic, cultural and historical contexts of modernity and modernism. Drawing upon continental philosophy, critical and literary theory, and the history of ideas, the book challenges conventional readings of Wittgenstein’s early work. It demonstrates how the Tractatus can be examined alongside narratives of progress and enlightenment, as well as exploring how it actively engages with the linguistic and aesthetic ideologies of literary modernism. Importantly, the study also contends that the Tractatus is not simply a text which emerges out of the author’s attempt to work through the influence of his philosophical predecessors – rather, it is to be grasped as an experimental and dialectical work which invites the reader to radically rethink questions of language, ethics, agency/subjectivity, and the relationship between the philosophical and the literary. Dialectic of the Ladder provides unique insights into Wittgenstein’s early masterpiece, as well as developing challenging suggestions regarding its enduring historical, ethical and political significances. Ben Ware is currently a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Department of English, American Studies and Creative Writing at the University of Manchester.

Logic of the Digital Aden Evens Building a foundational understanding of the digital, Logic of the Digital examines it as a unique ontology. Starting with its formal and technical characteristics, captured by the binary code, Aden Evans asks how the digital domain of abstract logic encounters a material, human world. Focusing on the formal, universal code and the elements of creative production, Evans shows how any encounter between the actual and the digital must cross an ontological divide: the gap between the productive materiality of the human world and the reductive abstraction of this binary code. Evans traces the distortions of this ontological crossing, looking directly at formal abstraction as well as analyzing exemplary digital technologies such as the mouse, the internet, and the concept of software. He also raises the paradoxical issue of creativity in relation to digital technologies: ontology of abstraction leaves little room for the unpredictable or accidental that is essential to creativity, but digital technologies are nevertheless patently creative. Through clarification of the digital’s ontological foundation, Evans points to a significant threat to creativity lurking in the nature of the digital and explains the importance of creating a digital ethics.

"William Charlton’s thesis that to understand the topics of metaphysics is to understand the grammar of our language sets him radically at odds with most contemporary metaphysics ... The interest of his incisive and instructive book lies in the detail of his arguments. This is a book to be reckoned with." Alasdair MacIntyre, University of Notre Dame, USA Metaphysics deals with truth, existence and goodness; it also considers change, time and causation, which characterise the physical world, and thought and language. We are familiar with all these things, but when we try to say what they are we become tongue-tied.

A nalytic P hilosophy

William Charlton draws a line between lexicography, which lists words, and grammar, which specifies constructions for various forms of speech. Both words and constructions have meaning, but in different ways, and he argues that the topics of metaphysics are expressed primarily by constructions. He surveys the history of philosophy from classical Greece to the present day, he shows how metaphysics and grammar grew up in tandem, and he connects the difficulties philosophers have encountered, especially since the Enlightenment, with a failure to grasp the significance for metaphysics of grammar as distinct from lexicography. Metaphysics and Grammar presents metaphysics as an art, not a science. It takes the traditional topics in turn; it brings out the relation between each of them and a form of speech; and it argues that these forms of speech provide us with our only reliable access to our nature as conscious beings acting in a physical world.

Humanism and Embodiment From Cause and Effect to Secularism Susan E. Babbitt "Susan Babbitt takes a fresh and enlightened view at the inescapable fact that we are bodies that think and not minds in bodies. She ventures beyond too-familiar philosophical routines to give us new perspectives on embodiment, humanism, religion, and notably on quietness. A most stimulating, even inspiring book." C. G. Prado, Queen’s University, Canada A live issue in anthropology and development studies, humanism is not typically addressed by analytic philosophers. Arguing for humanism as a view about truths, Humanism and Embodiment insists that disembodied reason, not religion, should be the target of secularists promoting freedom of enquiry and human community. Susan Babbitt’s original study presents humanism as a meta-ethical view, paralleling naturalistic realism in recent analytic epistemology and philosophy of science. Considering the nature of knowledge, particularly the radical contingency of knowledge claims upon causal mechanisms, religious thinkers like Thomas Merton and Ivan Illich offer more scientific conceptions of practical deliberation than are offered by some non-religious ethicists. Drawing on philosophical sources such as Marxism, Buddhism and Christianity, this original study considers implications of an embodied conception of reason, revealing philosophical, practical and political implications.

Aengus Daly, University of Wuppertal, Germany The Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology aims to encourage and promote research in aesthetics that draws inspiration from the phenomenological tradition as broadly understood, where “phenomenology” is inclusive of, but goes beyond the limits of, intellectual practices associated with the tradition and its well-known representative thinkers. Unique in the English speaking world, the journal welcomes scholarly articles written in a phenomenological vein as well as analyses of aesthetic phenomena by researchers working on phenomenology within analytic philosophy.

Radical Aesthetics-Radical Art Series Editors: Jane Tormey and Gillian Whiteley, Loughborough University, UK Exploring what aesthetics might mean in the 21st century, we use the term 'radical' to promote debate, confront convention and formulate alternative ways of thinking about art practice. The fundamental premise of the series is to reconsider the relationship between practicing art and thinking about art, and it aims to liberate the notion of aesthetics from visual traditions.

Eco-Aesthetics

Indigenous Aesthetics

Art, Literature and Architecture in a Period of Climate Change

Art, Activism and Autonomy

Malcolm Miles

Indigenous Aesthetics critically investigates the intersection of contemporary native art and anti-colonial politics. In the wake of the near universal adoption of the United Nations' Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a text of this nature is crucial as contemporary indigenous artists, activists, and curators continue to change the landscape of indigeneity and the political possibilities of self-determination (both political and artistic). No other single-authored book has explored the relationship between contemporary artistic practice and indigenous activism.

"Malcolm Miles' Eco-Aesthetics is an erudite, elegant, informed and critical account of art in the age of seemingly inexorable climate change." Owen Hatherley "In this impressive and wide-ranging book, Malcolm Miles sets out lucidly the case for a new approach to aesthetics that can form part of a 'long revolution' in our response to ecological issues. Balanced carefully between hope and despair, it serves both a cri-de-coeur and a celebration of the human creative spirit in the face of a global capitalist system which shows little interest in such values." Murray Fraser, Professor of Architecture and Global Culture, Vice-Dean of Research for the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, UCL, UK Malcolm Miles is Professor of Cultural Theory in the School of Architecture, Design &; Environment at the University of Plymouth, UK.

Dylan A. T. Miner

With a focus on 'non-traditional' indigenous practices, Miner explores the discourses and the artistic and aesthetic sites in which contemporary Native artists are participating. In this way, an engaged analysis of street art, cinema, and curatorial work appropriately positions news ways of seeing indigenous North American art. Written from an indigenist perspective, one which incorporates Western theories, yet couched in contemporary indigenous ontologies, Indigenous Aesthetics is the first book of its kind to discuss contemporary Native art in relationship to radical politics and/or aesthetics.

Thinking in Film

Endless Andness

The Politics of Video Art Installation According to Eija-Liisa Ahtila

The Politics of Abstraction According to Ann Veronica Janssens

Mieke Bal

"Thinking in Film is the most compelling analysis of Eija-Liisa Ahtila's art to date. It is a contribution to thinking by extending the ideas of what is presentable, perceivable and thus knowable. Mieke Bal draws from the constitutive conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of audio-visual installation art and gallery film but, importantly, develops her thinking further through a close analysis of the artworks. Bal shows how viewers are affected by the audio-visual realm but also left space to exert their own agency. The book demonstrates how art matters as a critical practice that has wider socio-cultural and political relevance." Mia Hannula, Art Historian and Scholar, University of Turku, Finland "The breadth and scale with which she builds her analysis is overwhelming. Rarely have I come across such a minute and sensuous reading of this art form." Nalini Malani, pioneering Indian video artist Mieke Bal is the author of Reading Rembrandt: Beyond the Word-Image Opposition, Narratology: Introduction to the Theory of Narrative, and many other books. She is Professor of the Theory of Literature at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

"Mieke Bal's absorbing and comprehensive study of the work of Ann Veronica Janssens is an exemplary achievement on many levels. Bal teases out the playful, affective but rigorous character of the artist's 'sculptural' works, showing how they draw participant viewers into experiment with 'the ungraspable yet utterly material that exists beyond the burden of objects.' This is a book for anyone with an interest in contemporary art, philosophy and a more modest sense of the political."

Showing Off! A Philosophy of Image Jorella Andrews "Jorella Andrews makes a significant contribution to both visual culture and phenomenological ethics ... She convincingly claims there is a human drive to express ourselves visually in terms of display and grounded in the reversibility of seeing and being seen." Helen Fielding, Western University, Canada Drawing on art, media, and phenomenological sources, Showing Off! challenges much recent thought by proposing a fundamentally positive relationship between visuality and the ethical. Showing Off!: A Philosophy of Image asks what happens to our debates about visibility when a third term, that of 'self-showing', is brought into play. Indeed, it proposes a fundamentally positive relationship between visuality and the ethical, one primarily rooted not in acts of open and non-oppressive seeing or spectating, as might be expected, but rather in our capacity to inhabit both the risks and the possibilities of our own visible being. In other words, this book maintains that the proper site of generosity and agency within any visual encounter is located not on the side of sight, but on that of self-showing — or showing off!

Waste

The Dialectics of Aesthetic Agency Revaluating German Aesthetics from Kant to Adorno Ayon Maharaj "Ayon Maharaj arrives at a compelling account of the work of art as a haunting force that eludes both reduction to any definite message and dismissal as an empty entertainment. In this way, Maharaj brings the tradition of German aesthetic theory strikingly to life in relation to current plights and possibilities of human life in culture." Richard Eldridge, Swarthmore College, USA Blending careful philosophical analysis with an intellectual historian’s attention to the broader cultural resonance of philosophical arguments, Ayon Maharaj provides challenging new interpretations of the aesthetic philosophies of Kant, Schelling, Schlegel, Hegel, and Adorno. By focusing on aspects of their thought that have been neglected or misunderstood in Anglo-American and German scholarship, he demonstrates that their subtle investigations into the nature and scope of aesthetic agency have far-reaching implications for contemporary discourse on the arts. The Dialectics of Aesthetic Agency is an important and original contribution to scholarship on the German aesthetic tradition and to the broader field of aesthetics.

A Philosophy of Things William Viney "If the primary achievement of recent civilization is to produce unprecedented heaps of garbage, what does this tell us about that civilization? In his pleasantly lucid prose style, Will Viney answers this question by providing an ontology, a sociology, and even an art criticism of waste, with special attention to the writings of T.S. Eliot and James Joyce and the visual art of Cornelia Parker and Mark Dion." Graham Harman, Distinguished University Professor, American University in Cairo, Egypt "This book will convince you that our most complex contemporary ideas about time are at work in the concept of waste. It draws its temporal concepts from many places, from art and literature, philosophy and cultural theory, narrative and the theory of narrative to think about the time of things – things we discard, things we used to use, things we collect, things that fall into ruin, and things that hold the future within them. It animates the theory of things and makes something beautiful out of waste."

Gadamer's Poetics: A Critique of Modern Aesthetics John Arthos "John Arthos, the leading American interpreter of Gadamer, shows us why the traditional readings of Hans-Georg Gadamer on art are all mistaken." David Vessey, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, Grand Valley State University, USA Gadamer’s writing on art is typically seen as supporting his philosophical theory of truth. Drawing together a coherent theory of the work of art from the corpus of Gadamer’s writings, this is the first full-length examination of Gadamer's theory of the work of art in its own right. Close readings of Gadamer’s treatment of aesthetics in Truth and Method, as well as his many essays and lectures on art, highlight an approach to art that is not ancillary to historical, philosophical, and linguistic themes. This book establishes Gadamer’s position on the criteria for the judgment of art, and the balance between production and reception from a hermeneutic perspective. Offering useful insights to some of the most tantalizing and obscure Gadamerian themes, this not only makes a significant addition to Gadamer scholarship, but provides aesthetics scholars, critics, and interpreters with new ways of thinking about art.

Performatives After Deconstruction

The Cognitive Value of Philosophical Fiction

Edited by Mauro Senatore

Jukka Mikkonen

"Mauro Senatore has put together an excellent collection ... The book brings together some of the most complex questions of the nature of performativity, and will be an excellent teaching tool." Drucilla Cornell, State University of New Jersey, USA What has happened since de Man and Derrida first read Austin? How has the encounter between deconstruction and the performative affected each of these terms? In addressing these questions, this book brings together scholars whose works have been provoked in different ways by the encounter of deconstruction and the performative. The contributors suggest various ways of re-reading the heritage and future of both deconstruction and the performative after their encounter, bringing into focus both the constitutive aporia of the performative and the role it plays within the deconstruction of the metaphysical tradition.

John Gibson, University of Louisville, USA" This study addresses the philosophical value of literature by examining how literary works impart philosophy truth and knowledge and to what extent the works should be approached as communications of their authors. Beginning with theories of fiction, it examines the case against the prevailing 'pretence' and 'make-believe' theories of fiction hostile to propositional theories of literary truth. Tackling further arguments against the cognitive function and value of literature, this study illustrates how literary works can contribute to knowledge by making assertions and suggestions and by providing hypotheses for the reader to assess. Presenting a novel approach to recognizing the cognitive function of literature, this is an important contribution to philosophical studies of literature and knowledge.

The Science, Politics, and Ontology of LifePhilosophy Edited by Scott Campbell & Paul W. Bruno Life-philosophy, central to nineteenth-century philosophical thought, is concerned with the meaning, value and purpose of life. This muchneeded study returns to the central philosophical questions of Lebensphilosophie and reveals the ascendency of ‘life’ in contemporary philosophical thinking. Scholars from the disciplines of political theory, aesthetics, bioethics and ontology examine how the notion of life has made its way into contemporary philosophical discussions. They explore three main themes: the shift toward biological and technological views of life; the political implications of our conceptions of life; and the re-emergence of the idea of life in recent philosophical discussions about, for example, care of the self, scepticism, tragedy, desire, the emotions, and history.

Phenomenologies of Art and Vision

The Philosophy of Art: The Question of Definition

A Post-Analytic Turn

From Hegel to Post-Dantian Theories

Paul Crowther

Tiziana Andina

"I find this most recent addition to [Crowther's] extensive accounting of art and those who think about art most rewarding, and I recommend it to all." Jeffrey Powell, Notre Dame Philosophical Review

"Written with a pleasing lightness of touch and wellinformed in the history of aesthetics, this book offers an illuminating critical survey of the perennial efforts to define art." Peter Lamarque, University of York, UK

Contemporary discussions of the image like to emphasize art's societal functions. Few studies come close to answering why pictures and sculptures fascinate and intrigue regardless of any practical functions they might serve. In this original, thought-provoking study, Paul Crowther reveals the intrinsic significance of pictures and sculptures. It is a convincing case for a post-analytic phenomenology of art and an important advancement of contemporary discussions of the philosophy of art. Paul Crowther is Professor of Philosophy at the National University of Ireland, Galway.

This book presents a panorama of the philosophy of art. Tiziana Andina discusses definitions offered from the analytical school including Arthur Danto’s representationalism, Dipert’s theories of artefactualism, Dickie’s institutional and procedural theories and Levinson’s historical and cultural theories. And from the continental theories it reflects on Hegel’s notion of philosophy of art, Martin Heidegger’s and Hans Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic tradition and Alexius Meinong’s theory of objects.

The Curatorial

Persistence and Transfiguration

A Philosophy of Curating

A Theory of Minimalism

Edited by Jean-Paul Martinon

Marc Botha

Stop curating! And think what curating is all about. This book starts from this simple premise. To do that, it distinguishes between 'curating' and 'the curatorial'. If 'curating' is a gamut of professional practices for setting up exhibitions, then 'the curatorial' explores what takes place on the stage set up, both intentionally and unintentionally, by the curator. It therefore refers not to the staging of an event, but to the event of knowledge itself. Instead of relying on conventional art historical narratives to explore the topic this book puts forward perspectives that go from the anecdotal to the theoretical and from the personal to the philosophical. These perspectives allow for a fresh reflection on curating, one in which, suddenly, curating becomes an activity that implicates us all (artists, curators, and viewers), not just as passive recipients, but as active members. As such, the Curatorial is a book without compromise: it asks us to think again, fight against sweeping art historical generalizations, the sedimentation of ideas and the draw of the sound bite. Curating will not stop, but at least with this book it can begin to allow itself to be challenged by some of the most complex and ethics-driven thought of our times.

The minimalist explosion in the mid-twentieth century was an unprecedented phenomenon in aesthetic history – not only was the distinction between the everyday and the aesthetic decisively undermined, but for the first time in aesthetic history the materiality of the work was dislocated from its creator, and the significance of the work from its meaning. Persistence and Transfiguration is a transhistorical account of minimalism's genesis with an emphasis on the key concepts of persistence and transfiguration. Marc Botha develops a new and compelling formulation of minimalism through the concepts of quantity, mathematical and dynamical sublimity, and quantitative ontology in the works of philosophers from Parmenides through Kant and Hegel to Badiou. More than just a work about minimalism, this is a highly innovative contribution to aesthetics, critical theory and current debates around the ontology of art in general.

The Philosophy of Perception Making Sense Art Practice and Transformative Therapeutics Lorna Collins Making Sense utilises art practice as a pro-active way of thinking that helps us to make sense of the world. It does this by developing an applied understanding of how we can use art as a method of healing and as a critical method of research. Drawing from poststructuralist philosophy, psychoanalysis, arts therapies, and the creative processes of a range of contemporary artists, the book appeals to the fields of art theory, the arts therapies, aesthetics and art practice, whilst it opens the regenerative affects of art-making to everyone. It does this by proposing the agency of ‘transformative therapeutics’, which defines how art helps us to make sense of the world, by activating, nourishing and understanding a particular world view or situation therein. The purpose of the book is to question and understand how and why art has this facility and power, and make the creative and healing properties of certain modes of expression widely accessible, practical and useful. Lorna Collins is an artist, critic and arts educator. She completed her PhD in French Philosophy as a Foundation Scholar at Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK.

Phenomenology and Image Theory Lambert Wiesing Translated by Nancy Ann Roth "Lambert Wiesing not only provides an original and illuminating treatment of the core issues in the philosophy of perception he, radically recasts the terms of the debate and extends the field of enquiry." Jason Gaiger, University of Oxford, UK Lambert Wiesing challenges current theories of perception. Instead of attempting to understand how a subject perceives the world, Wiesing starts by taking perception to be real, asking what this reality means for a subject. In his original approach, the question of how human perception is possible is displaced by questions about what perception obliges us to be and do. He argues that perception requires us to be embodied, to be visible, and to continually participate in the public and physical world we perceive. His methods chart a new path in contemporary perception theory and presents scholars of phenomenology, perception and aesthetics with an important understanding of the old phenomenon, the human being in the world. Lambert Wiesing is Professor of Philosophy at Jena University, Germany. He was President of the German Society for Aesthetics between 2005 and 2008.

Red Kant

Subjectivity and Identity

Aesthetics, Marxism and the Third Critique

Between Modernity and Postmodernity

Michael Wayne

Peter V. Zima

"A compelling demonstration of the continuing resourcefulness of rational critique for progressive cultural politics today." Andrew Hemingway, University College London, UK Is Kant really the ‘bourgeois’ philosopher that his advocates and opponents take him to be? In this bold and original rethinking of Kant, Michael Wayne argues that with his aesthetic turn in the Third Critique, Kant broke significantly from the problematic philosophical structure of the Critique of Pure Reason. Here is an unfamiliar Kant: his concepts of beauty and the sublime are reinterpreted as attempts to socialise the aesthetic while Wayne reconstructs the usually hidden genealogy between Kant and important concepts in Marxist philosophy. In materialising Kant’s philosophy, this book simultaneously offers a Marxist defence of creativity and imagination that challenges Marxist and mainstream assessments of Kant alike. Michael Wayne is Professor in Screen Media at Brunel University, UK. He is author of Marx's Das Kapital For Beginners (2012) and Marxism and Media Studies: Key Concepts and Contemporary Trends (2003).

Subjectivity and Identity is a philosophical and interdisciplinary study that evaluates critically the most important philosophical, sociological, psychological and literary debates on subjectivity and the subject. Starting from a history of the concept of subject from modernity to postmodernity - from Descartes and Kant to Adorno and Lyotard - Peter V. Zima distinguishes between individual, collective, mythical and other subjects.

A esthetics

Most texts on subjectivity and the subject present the topic from the point of view of a single discipline: philosophy, sociology, psychology or theory of literature. In Subjectivity and Identity Zima links philosophical approaches to those in sociology, psychology and literary criticism. The link between philosophy and sociology is social philosophy (e.g. Althusser, Goffman, Laing), the link between philosophy and literary criticism is aesthetics (e.g. Adorno, Lyotard, Vattimo). Philosophy and psychology can be related thanks to the psychological implications of several philosophical concepts of subjectivity (Hobbes, Stirner, Sartre). Peter V. Zima is Professor of General and Comparative Literature and Director of the Institute of General and Comparative Literature at the University of Klagenfurt, Austria.

The Aesthetics of Ugliness A Critical Translation Karl Rosenkranz Translated by Andrei Pop & Mechtild Widrich The Aesthetics of Ugliness is a key text for modern aesthetics and modernist art. Treating phenomena from the sublime to the comic in visual art and literature from the Greeks to Eugène Sue, the student and critic of Hegel, Karl Rosenkranz, shows ugliness to be the negation of beauty without being reducible to evil, materiality, or other negative terms used in the conventional condemnation of ugliness. This insistence on the specificity of ugliness, and on its dynamic status as a process afflicting aesthetic canons, reflects Rosenkranz's interest in the metropolis (like Walter Benjamin, he wrote on Paris and Berlin), and his voracious collecting of caricature and popular prints. Rosenkranz, living and teaching, like Kant, in remote Königsberg, reflects on phenomena of modern urban life from a distance that results in critical illumination. The struggle with modernisation and idealist aesthetics makes The Aesthetics of Ugliness relevant to modern anti-aesthetics (Baudelaire's Fleurs du mal was published four years later, in 1857) as well as to the twenty-first century theoretical revival of beauty. This is the first English translation of this key text. Karl Rosenkranz was a German philosopher. He read philosophy at Berlin, Halle and Heidelberg, devoting himself mainly to the doctrines of Hegel and Schleiermacher. Andrei Pop is Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Basel, Switzerland. Mechtild Widrich is Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at the Department for the History and Theory of Architecture at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.

Architecture in Black Updated Edition Darell Wayne Fields "The first mature attempt to engage in a sophisticated theoretical discourse about architecture and race using the tools of cultural studies and Afro-American literary theory. In this way, Fields has opened new critical and constructive possibilities for our intellectual discussions of modernity, architecture, and race." Cornel West Based on analysis of historical, philosophical, and semiotic texts, Architecture in Black presents a systematic examination of the theoretical relationship between architecture and blackness. Now updated, this original study draws on a wider range of case studies, highlighting the racial techniques that can legitimize modern historicity, philosophy and architectural theory. Arguing that architecture, as an aesthetic practice, and blackness, as a linguistic practice, operate within the same semiotic paradigm, Darell Fields employs a technique whereby works are related through the repetition and revision of their semiotic structures. Fields reconstructs the genealogy of a black racial subject, represented by the simultaneous reading of a range of canonical texts from Hegel to Saussure to Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Darell Wayne Fields is a Lecturer in the College of Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.

In Praise of Darwin

C.S. Lewis's List

George Romanes and the Evolution of a Darwinian Believer

The Ten Books That Influenced Him Most

J. David Pleins "This is a remarkable follow-up to the author’s earlier work on Darwin’s journey of faith ... We could hardly expect a more careful and scholarly treatment of Romanes’s struggle than we have in Pleins’s readable work." John Haught, Georgetown University, USA George John Romanes, close friend and colleague of Darwin, remains a misunderstood figure in the history of evolutionary science. Although his scientific contributions have been valued, his religious journey has been either neglected or misjudged. Scholars typically only acknowledge some of the work on theism he did at the very end of his life and usually blame his wife for doctoring the record with her pieties. Romanes's extensive poetry writing, much of it religious, has never been explored and his Memorial Poem to Darwin has been completely overlooked. The recent discovery of the original typescript of the poem, lost for more than a century and reprinted in this book for the first time, allows us to enter the mind of a major Darwinian as we watch him struggle to reconcile faith and science on a positive basis. J. David Pleins is Professor of Religious Studies at Santa Clara University, USA.

A Mystical Philosophy Transcendence and Immanence in the Works of Virginia Woolf and Iris Murdoch Donna J. Lazenby "In this engaging study, Donna Lazenby indicates both the promise and the limits of post-Christian attempts to grasp the mystical ... This work points the way in that direction with elegance and originality." Catherine Pickstock, University of Cambridge, UK Revealing, in an original and provocative study, the mystical contents of the works of famous atheists Virginia Woolf and Iris Murdoch, Donna Lazenby shows how these thinkers' refusal to construe worldviews on available reductive models brought them to offer radically alternative pictures of life which maintain its mysteriousness, and promote a mystical way of knowing. A Mystical Philosophy contributes to the contemporary resurgence of interest in Spirituality, but from an entirely new direction. This book provides a warning against reductive scientific and philosophical models that impoverish our understanding of ourselves and the world, and a powerful endorsement of ways of knowing that give art, and a restored concept of contemplation, their consummative place.

Edited by David Werther In 1962, The Christian Century published C.S. Lewis’s answer to the question, “What books did most to shape your vocational attitude and your philosophy of life?” Lewis responded with ten titles, ranging from Virgil’s Aeneid to James Boswell’s The Life of Samuel Johnson and from George Herbert’s The Temple to Boethius’s The Consolation of Philosophy. C.S. Lewis’s List brings together experts on each of the ten books to discuss their significance for Lewis’s life and work, illuminating his own writing through those he most admired.

Inventing Socrates Miles Hollingworth Miles Hollingworth mounts a powerful and subtle argument for something that is barely appreciated today: the idea that the religious impulse may be (historically) indigenous to the scientific impulse in a way that casts doubt on the poise and confidence of the notion that 'all theology is anthropology'. What if it were possible to tell the real, human story of why philosophy grew out of the religious and mythopoeic outlook? What if it were possible to find the straight line that joins the Pre-Socratics to all that went before them, and then from them to us? For is it not true that today religion and myth contest as keenly with philosophy and science as ever they did in the sixth century B.C.? And does this not imply that we are probably more alive than we think to the instincts of mind that allowed religion to first see its heart's desire in philosophy? This book tells the story of the inevitability of the intellectual dawn in ancient Greece. And in doing so, it mounts a fascinating new critical perspective on the Western intellectual tradition.

God and Evidence

Pluralism: The Future of Religion

Problems for Theistic Philosophers

Kenneth Rose

Rob Lovering

"Rose’s Pluralism: The Future of Religion is the most thorough and up-to-date study of one of the most hotly debated issues in Religious Studies today ... It will be an ideal text for graduate seminars for advanced students of religion and is certain to generate a lively debate among scholars." Klaus Klostermaier, University of Manitoba, Canada"

"In a discussion which is throughout admirably clear, accessible, persuasive, careful and well-informed, he is scrupulously fair to his opponents. While always relating his discussions to contemporary lines of argument, his own contribution is readily intelligible independently of them. This is an impressive addition to the current body of pro-atheist philosophical argumentation." Nicholas Everitt, University of East Anglia, UK God and Evidence presents a new set of compelling problems for theistic philosophers. The problems pertain to three types of theistic philosopher, which Lovering defines here as 'theistic inferentialists,' 'theistic noninferentialists,' and 'theistic fideists.' Theistic inferentialists believe that God exists, that there is inferential probabilifying evidence of God's existence, and that this evidence is discoverable not simply in principle but in practice. Theistic non-inferentialists believe that God exists, that there is noninferential probabilifying evidence of God's existence, and that this evidence is discoverable not simply in principle but in practice. Theistic fideists believe that God exists, that there is no discoverable probabilifying evidence (inferential or non-inferential) of God's existence, and that it is nevertheless acceptable-morally if not otherwise-to have faith that God exists. Lovering argues that each type of theistic philosopher faces a problem unique to his type and that they all share two particular problems. Some of these problems take us down an entirely new discursive path; others down a new discursive path branching off from an old one.

Theology of religions has defaulted in the last two decades to an epicyclic inclusivism which seeks to undermine pluralism with claims that it is covertly triumphalistic and that it mirrors the logic of exclusivism. With the exception of pioneers in the field such as John Hick and Paul Knitter, most major figures in this theological field have retreated from pluralism and promote versions of particularism and inclusivism. Pluralism: The Future of Religion argues for an apophatic pluralism that is motivated by the insight that it is impossible to secure universal assent for changeable bodies of religious teachings. This insight implies the non-finality and consequent 'departicularization' of all religious teachings and their inclusivistic defenses. These conclusions point us inevitably toward pluralism and lead us out of the inclusivistic impasse of contemporary theology in religions.

"A refreshingly original account." Yujin Nagasawa, University of Birmingham, UK How exactly could God achieve infallible foreknowledge of every future event, including the free actions of human persons? How could God exercise careful providence over these same events? Byerly offers a novel response to these important questions by contending that God exercises providence and achieves foreknowledge by ordering the times. The first part of the book defends the importance of the above questions. After characterizing the contemporary freedom-foreknowledge debate, Byerly argues that it has focused too narrowly on a certain argument for theological fatalism, which attempts to show that the existence of infallible divine foreknowledge poses a unique threat to the existence of creaturely libertarian freedom. Byerly contends, however, that bare existence of infallible divine foreknowledge cannot threaten freedom in this way; at most, the mechanics whereby this foreknowledge is achieved might so threaten human freedom. In the second part of the book, Byerly develops a model for understanding the mechanics whereby infallible foreknowledge is achieved that would not threaten creaturely libertarian freedom. According to the model, God infallibly foreknows every future event because God has placed the times that constitute the history of the world in primitive earlier-than relations to one another. After defending the consistency of this model of the mechanics of divine foreknowledge with creaturely libertarian freedom, the author applies it to divine providence more generally. A novel defense of concurrentism is the result. T. Ryan Byerly is Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Regent University, USA.

The New Orthodoxy

What does it mean for a society to be secular? Answering this question from a philosophical angle, Radical Secularization? delves into the philosophical presuppositions of secularization. Which cultural evolutions made secularization possible? International scholars from different disciplines assess the answers given by many leading philosophers such as, among others, Löwith, Blumenberg and Habermas (Germany), Gauchet and Nancy (France), Taylor and Bellah (North America). They examine the theory that secularization cannot only be regarded as a cultural change that was forced upon religion from an external source (e.g. science), but should also be considered as a phenomenon triggered by motives internal to religion. If religions are indeed capable of inner transformations, the question arises whether religions can persist in the secular societies they inadvertently helped to bring about, and how secular societies may accommodate religion.

Religion and Revelation after Auschwitz Balázs M. Mezei "A valuable work by an especially fertile thinker. [Mezei] looks frankly and honestly at the challenge posed to contemporary thought by the grievous offenses against human dignity in the 20th Century, by the disasters represented by Auschwitz ... Mezei brings to this project a broad and deep knowledge of modern Continental thought." Adrian J. Reimers, University of Notre Dame, USA Religion and Revelation After Auschwitz is a philosophical approach to the notion of revelation. Following such authors as A. Dulles, R. Swinburne and K. Ward, Balazs Mezei investigates some of the main problems of revelation and connects them to the general problem of religion today. Religion is considered in the perspective of the age 'after Auschwitz', an expression coined by Hans Jonas and further elaborated by J. B. Metz. Mezei develops the insights of these philosophers and investigates various aspects of religion and revelation 'after Auschwitz': contemporary theistic philosophy, phenomenology, art, mysticism, and the question of university education today. A fascinating amalgam of subjects and approaches, Religion and Revelation After Auschwitz is an important contribution to contemporary discussions on the possibility of Catholic philosophy.

Contemporary Cosmopolitanism Angela Taraborrelli This book is the first, and much-needed, introduction to contemporary political cosmopolitanism. Cosmopolitanism is the idea that we are all world citizens, and that we have moral duties towards others independently of their nationality. Over the last forty years this idea, which has its roots in classical philosophy, has undergone a renaissance, and has become a central concept within contemporary political, social, philosophical, legal, and geographical debates. Contemporary Cosmopolitanism describes the birth and development of various versions of contemporary political cosmopolitanism - moral, ethical, cultural and political-legal - and compares two main streams of thought, from North America and Europe. An ideal starting point, this book is accessible yet rigorous, introducing the ideas of leading contemporary theorists with detailed references for further reading. This text is an indispensably valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students in philosophy, political science and literary theory.

American Philosophy From Wounded Knee to the Present

Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution Steve McIntosh “McIntosh makes a signal contribution to the debate on the direction and nature of evolution, one of the most fundamental issues of our time. He frames his ideas in the context of an integral worldview, likewise a critical aspect of the new understanding. His theory merits sustained consideration and development.” Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Distinguished system scientist, President of the Club of Budapest, and author of over 30 books on evolution The integral worldview represents the next crucial step in the development of our civilization. Through its enlarged understanding of the evolution of consciousness and culture, the emerging perspective known as integral consciousness provides realistic and pragmatic solutions to our growing global problems, both environmental and political. As McIntosh convincingly demonstrates, the integral worldview's transformational potential provides a way to literally become the change we want to see in the world. This is really two books in one: the first half serves as an accessible and highly readable introduction to the power of integral consciousness, with the second half making a variety of original contributions to the integral perspective and breaking new ground in the application of integral philosophy to politics and spirituality. Moreover, McIntosh provides a muchneeded contextualization and critique of the integral worldview's leading author, Ken Wilber, which helps make integral philosophy relevant to a larger audience.

Erin McKenna & Scott L. Pratt "The most comprehensive and inclusive introductory guide to how philosophy in the United States has served a role in the history of domination and the struggle for liberation of all of its groups. This splendid work is necessary reading for students, philosophers, historians, and sociologists." Gregory Fernando Pappas, Texas A&M University, USA American Philosophy offers the first historically framed introduction to the tradition of American philosophy and its contemporary engagement with the world. Born out of the social and political turmoil of the Civil War, American philosophy was a means of dealing with conflict and change. In the turbulence of the 21st century, this remains as relevant as ever. Placing the work of present-day American philosophers in the context of a history of resistance, through a philosophical tradition marked by a commitment to pluralism, fallibilism and liberation, this book tells the story of a philosophy shaped by major events that call for reflection and illustrates the ways in which philosophy is relevant to lived experience. This book presents a survey of the historical development of American philosophy, as well as coverage of key contemporary issues in America including race theory, feminism, indigenous peoples, and environmentalism and is the ideal introduction to the work of the major American thinkers, past and present, and the sheer breadth of their ideas and influence.

Modern Conspiracy

How Evolutionary Psychology Promotes Gender Profiling and Fans the Battle of the Sexes Mari Ruti In a major new work in gender studies and critical theory, Mari Ruti offers a biting critique of the gender profiling tendencies of evolutionary psychology, untangling the insidious threads of various gender mythologies that have infiltrated—or perhaps even define—this faux-science. Cloaked in the guise of fact, evolutionary psychology continually brings retrograde models of sexuality into mainstream culture: it insists that men and women live in two completely different psychological, emotional, and sexual universes, and that they will consequently always be locked in a vicious battle of the sexes. Among these regressive arguments is the assumption that men’s sexuality is urgent and indiscriminate, whereas women are “naturally” reluctant, reticent, and choosy—a concept constructed to justify masculine behavior, such as cheating, that women have historically found painful. On its most basic level, The Age of Scientific Sexism explores our impulse to “explain” romantic behavior through science: in the increasingly egalitarian gender landscape of our society, why are we so eager to embrace the rampant gender profiling that evolutionary psychology promotes? Perhaps these simplistic gender caricatures owe their popularity, at least in part, to our overly pragmatic society, in which we live in constant search for easy answers to complex questions.

Libertarian Philosophy in the Real World The Politics of Natural Rights

The Importance of Being Paranoid

Mark D. Friedman

Emma A. Jane & Chris Fleming

"A series of challenging analyses of currently salient public policy issues: an important work, for libertarians and non-libertarians alike." Hillel Steiner FBA, University of Manchester, UK

"This opulently researched book is probably the only one you need to read on this topic." Andrew McKenna, Loyola University Chicago, USA While conspiracy theory is often characterized in terms of the collapse of objectivity and Enlightenment reason, Modern Conspiracy traces the important role of conspiracy in the formation of the modern world: the scientific revolution, social contract theory, political sovereignty, religious paranoia and mass communication media.

The Age of Scientific Sexism

Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia is widely recognized as one of the most influential works of modern political philosophy. Libertarian Philosophy in the Real World not only provides an accessible introduction to Nozick’s ideal rights-based, minimal libertarian state, but for the first time applies this moral framework to America's liberal democracy.

Rather than seeing the imminent death of Enlightenment reason and a regression to a new Dark Age in conspiratorial thinking, Modern Conspiracy suggests that many characteristic features of conspiracies tap very deeply into the history of the Enlightenment: its vociferous critique of established authorities and a conception of political sovereignty fuelled by fear of counter-plots, for example. Perhaps, ultimately, conspiracy theory affords us a renewed opportunity to reflect on our very relationship to the truth itself.

Mark D. Friedman shows that Nozick's theory undermines the very idea of social justice, and enables libertarians to rebut the most common objections to their doctrine. The book delivers a withering moral critique of the American welfare state, with chapters devoted to property rights, freedom of expression and association, paternalism, and the state's intervention in discrete aspects of modern life such as public education and healthcare. Friedman concludes with effective argumentative strategies for moving American politics in a more libertarian direction.

Emma A. Jane is Senior Lecturer in the School of the Arts and Media at the University of New South Wales, Australia.

Ideal for undergraduates and above, this text provides crucial insights into libertarian theory and its application.

Chris Fleming is Senior Lecturer in the School of Humanities and Communication Arts at the University of Western Sydney, Australia.

Richard Rorty From Pragmatist Philosophy to Cultural Politics Edited by Alexander Groeschner, Colin Koopman & Mike Sandbothe Richard Rorty was one of the most important philosophers of the last half of the twentieth century. His work helped effect global transformations in the way philosophy thinks about its work and role midst contemporary culture. He was influential across a diversity of disciplines in perturbing our inherited selfunderstandings of the place of intellectuals in culture and the roles of art, literature, science, and religion in contemporary liberal democratic society. This collection of essays, by an international and interdisciplinary group of eminent scholars and thinkers in their own right, including Jürgen Habermas, Saskia Sassen, Robert Brandom, and Richard Shusterman, presents the first complete posthumous study of Rorty’s work as a whole. The collection reflects on Rorty’s myriad accomplishments, with particular attention on the role of pragmatist philosophy in Rorty’s increasing identification of his thinking with the work of cultural politics. The book covers the full range of Rortyan themes, including the practice of philosophy and metaphilosophy, the politics of culture, and Rorty’s place in the contemporary philosophical and critical-cultural landscapes. These reflections serve to both introduce the arc of Rorty’s thinking and advance the critical reception of his work.

The Political Philosophy of G. A. Cohen Nicholas Vrousalis Gerald Allan Cohen was Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory at All Souls College, Oxford for 23 years and is considered one of the most influential political philosophers of the past quarter-century. He died in 2009. The Political Philosophy of G. A. Cohen is the first full-length study of Cohen's highly influential thinking and method in political philosophy covering a range of fundamental topics such as equality, freedom and fraternity and his views on Marx, Nozick and Rawlsian concepts. Nicholas Vrousalis brings together the diverse strands of argument in Cohen's political thought and critically reconstructs them in the context of contemporary debates in political, economic, and social theory. This reconstruction will highlight common threads running through Cohen's numerous contributions to contemporary philosophy, without underrating certain inevitable tensions between them.

The Politics of Nihilism From the Nineteenth Century to Contemporary Israel Edited by Nitzan Lebovic & Roy Ben-Shai "Combining precision, erudition and intellectual commitment, The Politics of Nihilism makes a convincing case for a view of nihilism as a vital force in a political constellation increasingly hostile to dissonant voices. A lucidly argued and greatly enriching book for anyone interested in the past, present and future of radical political critique." Vivian Liska, University of Antwerp, Belgium In order to better understand the contemporary political situation and ourselves within it,The Politics of Nihilism proposes a thorough theoretical examination of the concept of nihilism and its historical development followed by critical studies of Israeli politics and culture. The authors show that, rather than a mark of mutual opposition and despair, nihilism is a fruitful category for tracing and exploring the limits of political critique, rendering them less rigid and opening up a space of potentiality for thought, action, and creation.

A New Philosophy of Social Conflict

P olitical , S ocial and L egal P hilosophy

Mediating Collective Trauma and Transitional Justice Leonard C. Hawes A New Philosophy of Social Conflict joins in the contemporary conflict resolution and transitional justice debates by contributing a Deleuze-Guattarian reading of the post-genocide justice and reconciliation experiment in Rwanda -the Gacaca courts. In doing so, Leonard C. Hawes addresses two significant problems for which the work of Deleuze and Guattari provides invaluable insight: how to live ethically with the consequences of conflict and the trauma and how to negotiate the chaos of living through trauma in ways that create self-organizing discursive processes for resolving and reconciling these ontological dilemmas in life-affirming ways. Hawes draws on Deleuze-Guattarian thinking to create new concepts that enable us to think more productively and to live more ethically in a world increasingly characterized by sociocultural trauma and conflict, and to imagine alternative ways of resolving and reconciling trauma and conflict.

Doing Philosophy Comparatively

Dorothy Figueira

Hans Georg Gadamer’s notion of hermeneutical consciousness seeks to open up a cultural context through which to engage the other. It stands in opposition to the hermeneutics of suspicion advocated by recent popular theories, such as colonial discourse analysis, multiculturalism, postcolonial theory, the critique of globalism, etc. In his late work, Paul Ricoeur charts a middle path between the hermeneutics of suspicion and a hermeneutical consciousness that addresses the ontological and ethical categories of otherness. This volume follows the path proposed by Ricoeur and, alongside Certeau and Levinas, provides an examination of varying representations of the Indian Other in classical Greek and Sanskrit sources, the writings of Church Fathers, apocryphal literature, the Romance tradition, Portuguese and Italian travel narratives and Jesuit mission letters. In the various texts examined, the problems of translation are highlighted together with the sense that understanding can be found somewhere between the different approaches of hermeneutical consciousness and critical consciousness. This book not only looks at the European reception of the Indian other, but also looks at the ancient Indian view of its others and the cross-pollination of Indian concepts of otherness with the West.

Tim Connolly Critics have argued that comparative philosophy is inherently flawed or even impossible. What standards can we use to describe and evaluate different cultures’ philosophies? How do we avoid projecting our own ways of thinking onto others? Can we overcome the vast divergences in history, language, and ways of organizing reality that we find in China, India, Africa, and the West? Doing Philosophy Comparatively is the first comprehensive introduction to the foundations, problems, and methods of comparative philosophy. It is divided into three parts: • A wide-ranging examination of the basic concepts of comparative philosophy, including “philosophy,” “comparison,” “tradition,” and “culture.” • A discussion of the central problems that arise in extending philosophy across cultural boundaries: linguistic, justificatory, and evaluative incommensurability; projection and asymmetry; and the validity of cultural generalizations. • A critical look at the dominant contemporary approaches to comparative philosophy. This book offers a basic tool-kit for doing philosophy at the cross-cultural level. Drawing on many examples from the past and present of comparative philosophy, including further reading suggestions and discussion questions, it engages readers in sustained reflection on how to think comparatively.

Comparative Philosophy without Borders Edited by Arindam Chakrabarti & Ralph Weber In this volume, leading contemporary comparative philosophers each address a philosophical issue that transcends the concerns of any one cultural tradition. By critically discussing and comparing these contributions in terms of their philosophical presuppositions, this cutting-edge volume contributes to a more sophisticated understanding of doing comparative philosophy. As well as distinguishing three phases of the development of comparative philosophy up to the present day, the editors argue why the disciple now needs to enter a new phase. Covering Indian, Japanese, Tibetan philosophy and Buddhism, contributors discuss modern psychological and cognitive science approaches to the nature of mind, poetry and comparative study of language cultures, perception, justice and embarrassment. Comparative Philosophy without Borders demonstrates how drawing on philosophical resources from across cultural traditions can produce sound state-of-the-art and progressive philosophy.

Moral Matters The Case for Conservative Philosophy

The Bloomsbury Companion to Ethics

Mark Dooley

Edited by Christian Miller

Moral Matters: The Case for Conservative Philosophy is Mark Dooley's defence of intellectual conservatism in what he called 'an age of liberalism'. For Dooley, liberalism is not, as is often claimed by its proponents, a philosophy of freedom, but one of homelessness and rupture from settled conventions. It is a philosophy of individualism that repudiates community and compromise in exchange for egoism and alienation. In contrast, conservatism is a philosophy of love - love of all those things which comprise the social, moral, religious and cultural patrimony. It is a philosophy that looks upon the world, not as something to be remade on a whim, but as a gift to be cherished in the name of 'absent generations'. If liberalism is a 'dictatorship of relativism', conservatism is an ethics of virtue which promotes true liberty rooted in responsibility. At a time when the moral destiny of mankind is at stake, Moral Matters presents a convincing case for conservative philosophy as an antidote to alienation and a key to personal happiness.

E thics and M oral P hilosophy

E thics and M oral P hilosophy Bloomsbury Ethics Series Editors: Thom Brooks, University of Durham and Simon Kirchin, University of Kent Each book is designed both to introduce upper-level undergraduates and postgraduates to a key field in ethics, and to develop a particular viewpoint within that field which will appeal to researchers. All areas of moral philosophy are covered, from the theoretical to the practical.

Ethics Without Intention Ezio Di Nucci "The first in-depth action theoretic analysis of the infamous Doctrine of Double Effect, without already presupposing a particular ethical theory ... His study is original, lucid, and analytically sharp. His book is a must read for everyone interested in the moral relevance of intentions." Monika Betzler, University of Bern, Switzerland Ethics Without Intention tackles the questions raised by difficult moral dilemmas by providing a critical analysis of double effect and its most common ethical and political applications. The book discusses the moral justification of actions, applies this discussion to some of the most controversial ethical and political contemporary questions: collateral damages in wars and acts of terrorism; palliative care, euthanasia, abortion, and embryo research; self-defence, suicide, and self-sacrifice. Di Nucci approaches the doctrine of double effect from four key directions: its historical origins, which can be traced further back than the classic attribution to Aquinas; its theoretical coherence, which is the subject of a lively contemporary debate in philosophy; its moral intuitiveness, which has always been taken for granted but has recently begun to be questioned; and finally its relevance to the difficult moral and political decisions of our time.

Moral Principles

Value Theory

Maike Albertzart

Francesco Orsi

"This highly readable and engaging book deals, in a sophisticated and accessible manner, with a major point of contention in contemporary moral philosophy ... Students and advanced philosophers alike can profit from reflection on this book's arguments." Matthew Kramer, Churchill College, University of Cambridge, UK

"Orsi provides a detailed but succinct exploration of every axis of value theory, with special attention to the fitting attitude theory. Clearly written and tightly argued, this book is a thorough guide to the shape of value that also advances current debates in creative and engaging ways." Scott A. Davison, Morehead State University, USA

"Moral Principles displays an uncommon but very welcome ability to bring a grounded moral understanding to bear on abstract questions in ethical theory. Albertzart provides much-needed structure and clarity to the increasingly unwieldy literature about the particularist challenge to the significance of moral principles. She articulates a promising conception of moral principles, one which sustains the pride of place of moral principles in ethical thought while at the same time capturing much of the appeal of particularism. This conception of principles is fruitful on its own as a contribution to meta-ethics, and it also has great potential to inform and illuminate work in normative ethics." Jon Garthoff, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Tennessee, USA

What is it for a car, a piece of art or a person to be good, bad or better than another? In this first book-length introduction to value theory, Francesco Orsi explores the nature of evaluative concepts used in everyday thinking and speech and in contemporary philosophical discourse.

Orsi provides a systematic survey of both classic texts including Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Moore and Ross and an array of contemporary theorists. The reader is guided through the moral maze of value theory with everyday examples, thought experiments and suggestions for exercises. Rare stamps, Napoleon's hat, words of filth, and Kant's good will are all considered in order to probe our intuitions, question our own and philosopher's assumptions about value, and, ultimately, understand better what we want to say when we talk about value.

Language, Ethics and Animal Life

Solidarity Beyond Borders

Wittgenstein and Beyond

Ethics in a Globalising World

Edited by Niklas Forsberg, Mikel Burley & Nora Hämäläinen

Edited by Janusz Salamon

A number of factors—new research into human and animal consciousness, a heightened awareness of the methods and consequences of intensive farming, and modern concerns about animal welfare and ecology— have made our relationship to animals an area of burning interest in contemporary philosophy. Utilizing methods inspired by Ludwig Wittgenstein, the contributors to this volume explore this area in a variety of ways. Topics discussed include: • scientific vs. non-scientific ways of describing human and animal behaviour • the ethics of eating particular animal species • human nature, emotions, and instinctive reactions • responses of wonder towards the natural world • the moral relevance of literature • the concept of dignity • the question of whether non-human animals can use language This book will be of great value to anyone interested in philosophical and interdisciplinary issues concerning language, ethics and humanity's relation to animals and the natural world. Niklas Forsberg is Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Uppsala University, Sweden. Mikel Burley is Lecturer in Religion and Philosophy at the University of Leeds, UK.

Environmental Ethics From Theory to Practice Marion Hourdequin

Solidarity Beyond Borders is a collection on international ethics by a multidisciplinary team of scholars from four continents. The volume explores ethical and political dimensions of transnational solidarity in the emerging multipolar world. Analyzing global challenges of the world plagued by poverty, diseases, injustice, inequality and environmental degradation, the contributors - rooted in diverse cultures and ethical traditions - voice their support for ‘solidarity beyond borders'. Bringing to light both universally shared ethical insights as well as the irreducible diversity of ethical perceptions of particular problems helps the reader to appreciate the chances and the challenges that the global community - more interconnected and yet more ideologically fragmented than ever before - faces in the coming decades. Solidarity Beyond Borders exemplifies an innovative approach to the key issues of global ethics which takes into account the processes of economic globalization, leading to an ever deeper interdependence of peoples and states, as well as the increasing cultural and ideological fragmentation which characterize the emerging multipolar world order.

Global Ethics and Global Common Goods Patrick Riordan "Richly theoretical debates about distinctions between liberal notions and common good notions run alongside more practically focused debate about how to find agreement in the quest for international cooperation. This much-needed book draws upon an ancient tradition to generate an innovative trajectory in global ethics today." Esther D. Reed, University of Exeter, UK

"In this engaging new introduction to environmental ethics Marion Hourdequin draws on the insights of Chinese philosophy and focuses on such issues of contemporary concern as climate change, ecological restoration and the problem of defining sustainability." Dale Jamieson, New York University, USA

Riordan approaches questions of global ethics by following the direction of questioning initially pioneered by Aristotle; for him the most basic question of ethics is ‘what is the good life’? So in the context of contemporary global ethics the Aristotelian questioner wonders about the good life on a global scale. Global Ethics and Global Common Goods fills the gap in existing literature caused by the neglect of the topic of the good in global ethics.

Environmental Ethics offers an up-to-date and balanced overview of environmental ethics, focusing on theory and practice. Written in clear and engaging prose, the book provides an historical perspective on the relationship between humans and nature and explores the limitations and possibilities of classical ethical theories in relation to the environment. In addition, the book discusses major theoretical approaches to environmental ethics and addresses contemporary environmental issues such as climate change and ecological restoration. Connections between theory and practice are highlighted throughout, showing how values guide environmental policies and practices, and conversely, how actions and institutions shape environmental values.

Beginning by outlining answers to questions such as ‘what is good?’ and ‘is there a highest good?’ Riordan demonstrates the value of a common good perspective in matters of universal human rights and their institutions and practices, the study of international relations and the construction of global institutions, and debates about global justice between cosmopolitanism, nationalism and economic globalization. Philosophical questions provoked by these debates are identified and pursued, such as the question of a common human nature which seems presupposed by the language of universal rights.

An Introduction

Their Philosophical Art

Jill Kraye

Mark Anderson

Renaissance Philosophy: An Introduction provides an accessible account of the major thinkers, developments and trends in the history of philosophy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Jill Kraye traces the development of distinctive approaches to philosophy throughout the Renaissance period. The chronological framework allows students to appreciate how these features of Renaissance philosophy developed over time, while the thematically structured chapters clarify the most important and influential trends. Kraye situates the key philosophical developments in a broader historical, cultural, religious and geographical context, crucial to a thorough understanding of the philosophical ideas and arguments that emerged in this vibrant period. Wide-ranging in its scope and based on primary sources, with all quotations and titles translated into English for ease of reference, the book tells a coherent and unified story, from the first glimmers of a distinctively Renaissance approach to philosophy in the mid-fourteenth century to its later impact on thinkers of the seventeenth century. This is the ideal introduction for students encountering this crucial period in the history of philosophy for the first time.

"In this work of philosophical acumen and literary sensitivity, Mark Anderson enters the ring with Plato and Nietzsche, not to adjudicate their contest, but to wrestle with them over the question of what it is to be a philosopher who lives in the truth." William F. Vallicella, Professor Emeritus, Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, USA "Mark Anderson’s study of how Nietzsche reacts and responds to the irrefutable Plato can be recommended to philosophers, classicsts, and intellectual historians alike. It will be welcomed by anyone interested in the filiation of ideas who is prepared to think afresh about the real aims of Nietzsche’s project." Paul Bishop, William Jacks Chair in Modern Languages, University of Glasgow, UK "Written with knowledge, wit, skill and profound love for philosophy as a way of life, this beautiful introduction to the intellectual adventures of Plato and Nietzsche is also an authentic philosophical achievement on its own right."

Plotinus the Platonist A Comparative Account of Plato and Plotinus' Metaphysics David J. Yount In this book David J. Yount argues, against received wisdom, that there are no essential differences between the metaphysics of Plato and Plotinus. Yount covers the core principles of Plotinian thought; the One or Good, Beauty, Intellect, the All-Soul, the Three Hypostases (the One, Intellect, and the All-Soul), Emanation, and Matter. By addressing the interpretative issues that surround the authenticity of Plato’s works, Plotinus: The Platonist deftly argues against the commonly held view that Plotinus is best interpreted as a Neo-Platonist, proposing he should be thought of as a Platonist proper. Yount presents thorough explanations and quotations from the works of each classical philosopher to demonstrate his thesis, concluding comprehensively that Plato and Plotinus do not essentially differ on their conception of the metaphysical. This is an ideal text for Plato and Plotinus scholars and academics, and excellent supplementary reading for upper-level undergraduates students and postgraduate students of ancient philosophy.

Between Hegel and Spinoza A Volume of Critical Essays Edited by Hasana Sharp & Jason E. Smith Recent work in political philosophy and the history of ideas presents Spinoza and Hegel as the most powerful living alternatives to mainstream Enlightenment thought. Yet, for many philosophers and political theorists today, one must choose between Hegel or Spinoza. As Deleuze's influential interpretation maintains, Hegel exemplifies and promotes the modern 'cults of death', while Spinoza embodies an irrepressible 'appetite for living'. Hegel is the figure of negation, while Spinoza is the thinker of 'pure affirmation'. Yet, between Hegel and Spinoza there is not only opposition. This collection of essays seeks to find the suppressed kinship between Hegel and Spinoza. Both philosophers offer vigorous and profound alternatives to the methodological individualism of classical liberalism. Likewise, they sketch portraits of reason that are context-responsive and emotionally contoured, offering an especially rich appreciation of our embodied and historical existence. The authors of this collection carefully lay the groundwork for a complex and delicate alliance between these two great iconoclasts, both within and against the Enlightenment tradition.

The Anti-Romantic Hegel Against Ironic Romanticism Jeffrey Reid "The Anti-Romantic: Hegel against Ironic Romanticism offers a brilliant and highly original perspective on Hegel's idea of philosophy as scientific discourse. Hegel's idea is presented indirectly through his polemic against the Romantic forms of irony defended by Friedrich Schlegel, Novalis and Schleiermacher. On the basis of his broad historical research, Reid presents the intriguing thesis that Hegel's critique of irony may be viewed as a critique of postmodernity."

Kant's 'Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason' A Reader's Guide Eddis N.

The commentary itself is informed and reliable, helpfully enhanced by indications of the continuing relevance of many of Kant’s central concerns. The result is a very clearly written book that will be unusually useful in many different teaching settings." Gordon E. Michalson, New College of Florida, USA Immanuel Kant's Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason is a seminal text in modern philosophy, ethics, and the philosophy of religion. It is a complex and challenging work, which students and scholars often find difficult to penetrate. This Reader's Guide provides a 'way in' to the text including: philosophical and historical context; an overview of key themes; section-by-section analysis of the text; a chapter on its reception and influence as a classic text of the Enlightenment; and a guide for further reading. It highlights the most important themes and ideas, clarifies certain opaque features, and examines the junctures in the text that are critical for any philosophical assessment of Kant's argument. Eddis N. Miller offers a sound understanding of Kant's Religion and the tools for students to philosophically assess Kant's overall argument.

The Bloomsbury Companion to Leibniz Edited by Brandon C. Look "A splendid achievement ... the individual contributions are of an exceptional quality ... the book is an excellent resource for graduate students and professional philosophers wishing to acquire an idea of what top Leibniz research looks like today." Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews The Bloomsbury Companion to Leibniz presents a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the life, thought and work of one of the great polymaths of the modern world and examines the new directions in this field of study. Beginning chapters first seek to understand Leibniz by establishing the philosophies of and Leibniz’s reactions to his most important contemporary philosophers from Descartes to Malebranche. While addressing current philosophical research in Leibniz such as his metaphysics, logic and theory of free will, a leading team of experts in the field show that Leibniz’s work was also much wider in scope and cover a number of Leibniz’s concerns outside of philosophy too including mathematics, physics and the life sciences. The Companion concludes by offering analysis into how Leibniz has subsequently been understood and his impact on further study, particularly his successor Immanuel Kant.

The Bloomsbury Companion to Spinoza is the first to offer an accessible, encyclopaedic account of Spinoza's life and ideas, his influences and commentators, and his lasting significance. Some of the best features include an annotated chronology of Spinoza's life, bibliographies of his major influences and critics, a substantive dictionary of key Spinozan concepts, summaries of Spinoza's principal writings and concludes with a chapter on Spinoza's place in modern academic scholarship.
