PHILOSOPHY 2021/2022
New and Noteworthy Titles
CO LU MBIA UN IVERSI T Y P R ESS C U P. C O L U M B I A . E D U
Letter from the Philosophy Editor: It is with great pleasure that I present the Columbia University Press philosophy catalog for 2022. These titles, which span subjects from critical theory to political philosophy to philosophy of religion, aesthetics, environmental and animal philosophy, philosophy of science, philosophy of gender, and Asian philosophy, reflect the interdisciplinary and global approach of our list and exemplify the innovative and field-changing scholarship that we value. Among the many outstanding titles in this year’s wide-ranging catalog, several deserve special attention. In the area of critical theory, Selected Writings on Media, Propaganda, and Political Communication by Siegfried Kracauer, edited by Jaeho Kang, Graeme Gilloch, and John Abromeit, introduces to English speakers Kracauer’s writings on propaganda and politics, which presciently anticipate conditions in the world today, from the rise of new forms of fascism to the relationship between new media technologies and authoritarianism. Critique of Latin American Reason by Santiago Castro-Gómez, also newly available in English, is one of the most important twentieth-century philosophical works from the Global South and among the first to expose the colonial underpinnings of the region’s political thinking. An outstanding contribution to both political theory and Black religion, We Testify with Our Lives by Terrence Johnson reveals the unacknowledged religious and ethical force motivating Black radical politics from the civil rights era to today. Public philosopher Brad Evans’s Ecce Humanitas is an impassioned exploration of how political violence has been sacralized and how art can incite resistance. And America’s Public Philosopher, edited by Eric Thomas Weber, is a curated collection of John Dewey’s most influential essays on democracy, social justice, education, and politics, which are more relevant and more radical today than when they were written. Other exciting new books of note include Great Minds Don’t Think Alike, edited by bestselling astrophysicist Marcelo Gleiser, a contribution to the ongoing dialogue between science and philosophy that features such prominent thinkers as David Chalmers, Antono Damasio, Sean Carroll, Alan Lightman, Elizabeth Kolbert, Siddhartha Mukherjee, and Patricia Churchland debating consciousness, reality, AI, and other big questions. Other Lives by Sonam Kachru is a brilliant engagement with the late fourth-century Buddhist thinker Vasubandhu, the first in any tradition to propose an enactivist account of mind in the context of world philosophy. Matthew Calarco returns with The Boundaries of Human Nature, a spirited investigation of how historical and contemporary thinkers from the Jains to Donna Haraway have challenged anthropocentrism. In Dostoyevsky, or the Flood of Language, French theorist Julia Kristeva recounts the profound influence the Russian novelist had on her own thinking. Her compatriot Luce Irigaray, in A New Culture of Energy, considers how this primal force has been differently conceptualized in Asia and the West and how we might cultivate an existence in harmony with the natural world. And in Inwardness, the newest volume in the No Limits series, Jonardon Ganeri reflects on how religious traditions, philosophies, and literary and artistic works have imagined our interior life. I am confident that you will find much to enjoy and ponder in these pages. My colleagues and I look forward to continuing our dialogue.

THEORY
Hermeneutics as Critique
Praxis and Revolution A Theory of Social Transformation
Science, Politics, Race, and Culture
Eva von Redecker
Lorenzo C. Simpson
Translated by Lucy Duggan
Eva von Redecker reconsiders critical theory’s understanding of radical change in order to offer a bold new account of how revolution occurs. She argues that revolutions are not singular events but extended processes: beginning from the interstices of society, they succeed by gradually rearticulating social structures toward a new paradigm.
Lorenzo C. Simpson offers a persuasive and powerful argument that hermeneutics is a valuable tool not only for critical theory but also for addressing many of the urgent issues of today. He shows its utility for unpacking intractable debates in the philosophy of science, multiculturalism, social epistemology, and racial and social justice.

THEORY
The Indivisible Globe, the Indissoluble Nation
Self-Knowledge and Moral Identity
Edited by Ranjan Kumar Panda
Universality, Postcoloniality, and Nationalism in the Age of Globalization
Li-Chun Hsiao
Li-Chun Hsiao attempts to rethink, under the rubric of globalization, several key notions in postcolonial theory and writings by revisiting what he conceives as “the primal scene of postcoloniality”—the Haitian Revolution. He unpacks and critiques poststructuralist penchants and undercurrents of the postcolonial paradigm in First-World academia.
Many contemporary philosophers, such as Akeel Bilgrami, Crispin Wright, Christine Korsgaard, and Mrinal Miri, have explicitly discussed the relevance of self-knowledge in relation to the discourse of normativity. This book addresses the notion of self-knowledge as relevant in the formation of moral identity.

On the Topicality of Heinz-Joachim Heydorn's Philosophy of Education
Chinese Cultural Values in Everyday Life Cho-yun Hsu
Edited by Helge Kminek
Translated by David Ownby
Heinz-Joachim Heydorn’s 1974 essay “Survival Through Education: Outline of a Prospect” remains a powerful text, recently translated into English for the first time. In this book, scholars from different theoretical perspectives question the text and its contemporary relevance and put their interpretations up for discussion.
Through investigation of Chinese cultural ideals and life practices, Cho-yun Hsu constructs an original portrait of Chinese spiritual life. In addition to focusing on the exalted subtleties of the scholarly elite, he pays attention to everyday people’s cultural ideas.

Baudrillard with Nietzsche and Heidegger
Philosophical Ideas A Historical Study
Thora Ilin Bayer and Donald Phillip Verene
A Contrastive Analysis Vanessa Freerks
This book invites the reader to consider central ideas from Plato, Hegel, Vico, and Cassirer from points of view that are not typically encountered interpretations. It is an examination of the ideas of poetics, dialectics, science, and symbol as they function in their works with a focus on the problem of knowledge.
Vanessa Freerks analyzes how Baudrillard reactualizes Nietzsche, investigating how themes and approaches in his books resonate with Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals. This book is essential reading for students and scholars of continental philosophy, sociology, and cultural theory.

Out of the Dark Night
Why Critical Theory Needs Psychoanalysis
Essays on Decolonization Achille Mbembe
Amy Allen
In Out of the Dark Night, Achille Mbembe offers a rich analysis of the paradoxes of the postcolonial moment that points toward new liberatory models of community and humanity. In a nuanced consideration of the African experience, Mbembe makes sweeping interventions into debates about citizenship, identity, democracy, and modernity. He ranges across European and African thought to provide a powerful assessment of common ways of writing and thinking about Africa.
Does critical theory still need psychoanalysis? Amy Allen offers a cogent and convincing defense of its ongoing relevance. She draws on Freud, Klein, and Lacan to develop a more realistic strand of psychoanalytic thinking that centers on notions of loss, negativity, ambivalence, and mourning. $28.00 / £22.00 paper 978-0-231-19861-5 $95.00 / £78.00 cloth 978-0-231-19860-8 2020 280 pages

Death, Literature, and Sexual Difference in Hegel’s “Phenomenology of Spirit”
Gavin Arnall
Mary C. Rawlinson
Mary C. Rawlinson offers a critical analysis of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit that exposes three crucial elisions: Hegel’s effacements of sexual difference, human mortality, and literary style. Demonstrating the power of Hegel’s phenomenological method, The Betrayal of Substance is a magisterial rereading of this challenging masterwork. $35.00 / £27.00 paper 978-0-231-19905-6 $140.00 / £108.00 cloth 978-0-231-19904-9 2021 264 pages
The problem of change recurs across Frantz Fanon’s writings. Gavin Arnall traces an internal division throughout Fanon’s work, contending that there are two Fanons: a dominant Fanon who conceives of change as a dialectical process of becoming and a subterranean Fanon who experiments with an even more explosive underground theory of transformation. $30.00 / £25.00 paper 978-0-231-19365-8 $120.00 / £100.00 cloth 978-0-231-19364-1 2020 304 pages

The Sublime of the Political
Bodies of Democracy Modes of Embodied Politics
Narrative and Autoethnography as Theory Dean Caivano and Sarah Naumes
Amanda Machin
Dean Caivano and Sarah Naumes argue that storytelling in the form of narrative and autoethnography creates an emancipatory potential through its ability to theorize from below, welcoming marginalized and excluded voices. They offer a new assessment of political texts to challenge who can write and disseminate political ideas—and how.
Amanda Machin considers six embodied modes of democratic politics: identification, deliberation, disagreement, protest, occupation, and counsel. Drawing on diverse thinkers, she offers an absorbing illustration of the ways that human bodies are not only the disciplined objects of politics but also the generative subjects of democracy.

WINNER, CHOICE, OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE
Wendy Brown explains the hard-right turn in Western politics. She argues that neoliberalism’s intensification of nihilism, coupled with its accidental wounding of white male supremacy generates an apocalyptic populism willing to destroy the world rather than endure a future in which this supremacy disappears.
This study examines the nature of the concept of humanitarian intervention, focusing on its primary function, protection of the endangered civilian populations who find themselves at risk of genocide. The book provides a deep ontological inquiry into the nature, origin, and genesis of the idea of humanitarian intervention.

Connecting Hegelian aesthetics with contemporary cultural politics, Jason Miller argues that both the aesthetic and political value of art is found in the reflexive self-awareness that it enables. The significance of art in modern life is that it shows us both the particular element in humanity as well as the human element in particularity.

Internationalist Aesthetics
Times of Experience, Ways of Beholding
Edward Tyerman
Kurt Walter Forster
China and Early Soviet Culture
How Time Got Away With Art
Internationalist Aesthetics offers a groundbreaking account of the crucial role that China played in the early Soviet cultural imagination. Reading across genres and media from reportage and biography to ballet and documentary film, Edward Tyerman shows how Soviet culture sought an aesthetics that could foster a sense of internationalist community.
In the eighteenth century, geologists preoccupied with the unfathomable depths of time sought to place every organism on a timeline. Just as the earth acquired a history, architecture and art found ways of locating themselves in a perspective that vanishes in the anthropocene, urging fresh inquiry into artistic perception.

N. Katherine Hayles traces the emergence of what she identifies as the postprint condition, exploring how the interweaving of print and digital technologies has changed not only books but also language, authorship, and what it means to be human.
In this deeply original consideration of Foucault’s erotic ethics, Lynne Huffer provocatively rewrites Foucault as a Sapphic poet. She uncovers eros as a mode of thought that erodes the interiority of the thinking subject.

A Reader
Barbara Carnevali
Edited by Giovanni Aloi and Susan McHugh
Translated by Zakiya Hanafi
In this strikingly original book, Barbara Carnevali offers a philosophical examination of the roles that appearances play in social life. While Western metaphysics and morals have predominantly disdained appearances and expelled them from their domain, Carnevali invites us to look at society, ancient to contemporary, as an aesthetic phenomenon.
Posthumanism in Art and Science is an anthology of indispensable statements and artworks featuring a diverse sampling of major thinkers as well as acclaimed artists and curators. Their provocative and compelling works speak to the ongoing conceptual and political challenge of posthuman theories in a time of cultural and environmental crises.

Children of Prometheus: Romanticism and Its Legacy
Still
Samuel Beckett’s Quietism
Andy Wimbush
Essays in Literature, Philosophy, and Cultural Politics Gregory Maertz
In these nine related essays, Gregory Maertz investigates the expression of Romanticism in literature, philosophy, and cultural politics from the Renaissance to Modernism. Other essays are clustered around the literary activity of writers and philosophers associated with radicalism in Britain and transcendentalism in America.
Andy Wimbush argues that quietism—a philosophical and religious attitude of renunciation and will-lessness—is a key to understanding Samuel Beckett’s artistic vision. Using Beckett’s published and archival material, he shows how Beckett distilled an understanding of quietism and turned it into a new aesthetic.

Mind and World in Indian Buddhism
How the Shijing Shaped the Chinese Philosophical Tradition
Sonam Kachru
Michael Hunter
The modern imagination of classical Chinese thought has long been dominated by Confucius, Mozi, Mencius, and other “Masters” of the Warring States period. Michael Hunter argues that this approach neglects the far more central role of poetry, and the Shijing (Classic of Poetry) in particular, in the formation of the philosophical tradition.
In his The Twenty Verses, the Buddhist philosopher Vasubandhu invites readers to explore experiences in dreams and to inhabit the experiences of nonhuman beings—animals, hungry ghosts, and beings in hell. Sonam Kachru provides a deep engagement with Vasubandhu’s account of mind in a global philosophical perspective.

Liane Carlson returns to an older definition of contingency found in Christian theology that understands it as the lot of mortal creatures, who suffer, feel, bleed, and change, in contrast to a necessary, unchanging, impassible God. Far from dying out, Carlson reveals, this theological past persists in continental philosophy, where thinkers have imagined contingency as a type of radical destabilization brought about by the body’s collision with a changing world. $65.00 / £50.00 cloth 978-0-231-19052-7 2019 304 pages

Denis Lacorne traces the emergence of the modern notion of religious tolerance in order to rethink how we should respond to its contemporary tensions. He defends the Enlightenment concept against recent attempts to circumscribe it, arguing that without it a pluralistic society cannot survive.
