Imaginative Moods: Aesthetics, Religion, Philosophy By Dorthe Jørgensen
Explores human experiences of transcendence. What do human experiences of transcendence mean? Would investigating their mind-opening and world-transformative nature improve contemporary philosophy and theology? This book shows the importance of experiences traditionally categorised as religious or aesthetic for our understanding of, e.g., art, faith, prayer, presence, beauty, sensitivity, imagination, susceptibility, and divinity.

Poetic Inclination: Ethics, History, Philosophy By Dorthe Jørgensen
Explores aesthetic thinking and its relevance in a variety of disciplines. Philosophy originates in wonder that generates aesthetic thinking. Can this thinking foster human well-being and develop our notions of history, hospitality, freedom, and the good life? This book presents the formative nature of aesthetic thinking and attests its relevance in many disciplines and a broad spectrum of society, e.g., border studies, education policy, and social work.

Rationalism A Critique of Pure Theory By Brian Ellis
A critique of rationalism, and thoughts on moving past it. A critique of rationalism, this book aims to explain both its powerful contributions to mathematics and the physical sciences, where our arithmetical, geometrical, and mechanical intuitions have had a highly productive role in the development of pure theory, and its disastrous failures in cosmology and the moral sciences, where rationalism has all but destroyed the social conscience of the West by creating the disastrous political philosophy of neoliberalism.
