In this sense, it seems clear about its audience and will be useful for a sophisticated study of Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature and also of interest to those who already have a good deal of background and familiarity with Rorty.’ – David Hiley, University of New Hampshire, USA ’This is well-written, clear, accessible, sharp and pitched at the right level. It strikes the right balance between the detailed exploration of particular arguments, and setting Rorty’s book in a wider intellectual context.’ – Matthew Festenstein, University of York, UK Richard Rorty is one of the most influential, controversial and widely-read philosophers of the twentieth century.

GENERAL INTRODUCTORY PHILOSOPHY

Routledge Philosophers Series Edited by Brian Leiter, University of Texas at Austin, USA

All titles in this series are available on inspection Each book introduces the life and times of the philosopher in question, places their work in historical context, explains and assesses their key arguments, and considers their legacy. Additional features include: • chronology of major dates and events • chapter summaries • annotated suggestions for further reading • glossary of technical terms. An ideal starting point for those new to philosophy, they are also essential reading for those interested in the major Western philosophers at any level.

Aristotle Christopher Shields, Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, UK ’An impressive and first-rate overview of Aristotle’s philosophy. I can’t think of a better introduction.’ – Richard Kraut, Northwestern University, USA ’Christopher Shields’ book introduces the philosophy of Aristotle in a comprehensive, informative and perspicuously argued way that engages with the philosopher’s arguments and views with critical surety and acuity.’ – Vasilis Politis, Trinity College Dublin, UK

Darwin

NEW

Tim Lewens, University of Cambridge, UK

Heidegger

’Tim Lewens brilliantly explores the extraordinary role that Darwin has played not only in science and philosophy but also right across the full range of human affairs. Lewens’ book contradicts the belief that nothing more that is fresh and interesting could be added to all the existing writings about Darwin.’ – Sir Patrick Bateson, University of Cambridge, UK In this invaluable book, Tim Lewens shows in a clear and accessible manner how important Darwin is for philosophy and how his work has shaped and challenged the very nature of the subject. Beginning with an overview of Darwin’s life and work, the subsequent chapters discuss the full range of fundamental philosophical topics from a Darwinian perspective. These include natural selection; the origin and nature of species; the role of evidence in scientific enquiry; the theory of Intelligent Design; evolutionary approaches to the human mind; the implications of Darwin’s work for ethics and epistemology; and the question of how social and political thought needs to be updated in the light of a Darwinian understanding of human nature. A concluding chapter assesses the philosophical legacy of Darwin’s thought. Darwin is essential reading for anyone in the humanities, social sciences and sciences seeking a philosophical introduction to Darwin, or anyone simply seeking a philosophical companion to Darwin’s own writings. Selected Contents: Introduction: ‘A Philosophical Naturalist’ 1. Life 2. Selection 3. Species 4. Evidence 5. Mind 6. Ethics 7. Knowledge 8. Politics 9. Philosophy. Glossary. References 2006: 216x138: 289pp Hb: 978-0-415-34637-5: US $100.00 Pb: 978-0-415-34638-2: US $27.95 eBook: 978-0-203-59713-2

Beginning with a brief biography, Christopher Shields carefully explains the fundamental elements of Aristotle’s thought: his explanatory framework, his philosophical methodology and his four-causal explanatory scheme. Subsequently he discusses Aristotle’s metaphysics and the theory of categories and logical theory and his conception of the human being and soul and body.

John Richardson, New York University, USA Martin Heidegger ranks alongside Wittgenstein as one of the twentieth century’s most influential yet cryptic and controversial philosophers. A towering figure in the schools of phenomenology and existential, his work inspired Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Derrida. This introduction covers the whole of Heidegger’s work and is ideal for anyone coming to his work for the first time. John Richardson centres his introduction around the two topics that characterize Heidegger’s work as a whole and that form the title of his most important work: being and time. Beginning with an overview of Heidegger’s life and work, he explains the development of Heidgger’s thought up to the publication of Being and Time. He then introduces and assesses the key arguments of Being and Time under three key headings: pragmatism; existentialism; and the themes of time and being. He also explains how Heidegger departed from Husserl’s understanding of phenomenology itself. Subsequent chapters introduce Heidegger’s later philosophy, in particular his turn towards an historicized account of being; his influential writings on art, poetry and language and his view that art and literature are essential to an evolving, cultural understanding of human being; and his theory that being is expressed above all in technology and science which problematically ’enframes’ much of our understanding and action. The final chapter considers Heidegger’s profound influence on a number of different intellectual movements from existentialism to postmodernism and how his work was taken up and criticised by subsequent philosophers. A much-needed and refreshing introduction to this major figure, Heidegger is ideal reading for anyone coming to his work for the first time and will interest and stimulate students and scholars alike.

In the last part, he concentrates on Aristotle’s value theory as applied to ethics and politics, and assesses his approach to happiness, virtues and the best life for human beings. He concludes with an appraisal of Aristotelianism today. Selected Contents: 1. Life and Works 2. Explaining Nature and the Nature of Explanation 3.

These include Hume’s lifelong exploration of the human mind; his theories of inductive inference and causation; skepticism and personal identity; moral and political philosophy; aesthetics; and philosophy of religion. The final chapter considers the influence and legacy of Hume’s thought today. Throughout, Garrett draws on and explains many of Hume’s central works, including his Treatise of Human Nature, Enquiries Concerning Human Understanding, and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. Hume is essential reading not only for students of philosophy, but anyone in the humanities and social sciences and beyond seeking an introduction to Hume’s thought.

’Fulfills its aims admirably, providing an advanced introductory survey of the whole of Husserl’s vast empire, together with provocative and illuminating interventions on a number of important particular points and disputes.’ – Wayne Martin, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews ’This is a first-rate volume ... The text is rich with historical background and comment. But it is the clarity and depth of understanding with which David Woodruff Smith explains the material that is so overwhelmingly present. An excellent work.’ – Gayle Ormiston, Kent State University, USA ’A masterful presentation of the entire range of Husserl’s thinking, seen from the perspective of a leading analytical phenomenologist.’ – Barry Smith, University of Buffalo, USA In this stimulating introduction, David Woodruff Smith introduces the whole of Husserl’s thought, demonstrating his influence on philosophy of mind and language, on ontology and epistemology, and on philosophy of logic, mathematics and science. Starting with an overview of his life and works, and his place in twentieth-century philosophy, and in western philosophy as a whole, David Woodruff Smith introduces Husserl’s concept of phenomenology, explaining his influential theories of intentionality, objectivity and subjectivity. In subsequent chapters he covers Husserl’s logic, metaphysics, realism and transcendental idealism, and epistemology. Finally, he assesses the significance and implications of Husserl’s work for contemporary philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Including a timeline, glossary and extensive suggestions for further reading, Husserl is essential reading for anyone interested in this eminent philosopher, phenomenology or twentieth-century philosophy. 2006: 216x138: 468pp Hb: 978-0-415-28974-0: US $100.00 Pb: 978-0-415-28975-7: US $27.95 eBook: 978-0-203-96843-7

‘This is the clearest, most comprehensive book on Kant’s “critical philosophy” written in English Guyer’s book is clearly written and keeps enough distance from Kant’s texts to be helpful to nonspecialists; it also stays close enough to be nuanced and valuable even for Kant specialists.’ – A.N. Bunch, Choice ’Kant is an absolutely first-rate general introduction to Kant’s Critical Philosophy. Paul Guyer’s interpretations are extremely well-supported, carefully and crisply argued, and highly insightful.’ – Robert Hanna, University of Colorado, USA ‘An impressive overview of the various strands of Kant’s philosophy. With great skill Guyer manages to compress Kant’s critical thought into a few hundred pages. This book will provide an excellent introduction to Kant’s thought.’ – Philip Stratton-Lake, University of Reading, UK ‘That Guyer is able to cover this much material, clearly and without oversimplification, in a single, reasonably sized volume represents a unique accomplishment, which should prove to be extremely useful to a broad audience.’ – Eric Watkins, University of California, USA In this outstanding introduction, Paul Guyer uses Kant’s central conception of autonomy as the key to all the major aspects and issues of Kant’s thought. Beginning with a helpful overview of Kant’s life and times, Guyer introduces Kant’s metaphysics and epistemology, carefully explaining his arguments about the nature of space, time and experience in his most influential but difficult work, The Critique of Pure Reason. He offers an explanation and critique of Kant’s famous theory of transcendental idealism and shows how much of Kant’s philosophy is independent of this controversial doctrine. He then examines Kant’s moral philosophy, his celebrated ‘Categorical imperative’ and his theories of duty, freedom of will and political rights. Finally, he covers Kant’s aesthetics, in particular his arguments about the nature of beauty and the sublime, and their relation to human freedom and happiness. He also considers Kant’s view that the development of human autonomy is the only goal that we can conceive for both natural and human history. Selected Contents: 1. A Life in Work 2.

Taylor Carman, Columbia University, USA ’This is the best introduction to MerleauPonty’s work available. It provides a clear and lucid overview of the whole of Merleau-Ponty’s thought, presenting the central ideas and themes of his writings in an accessible yet rigorous way. As such, it will be of interest to beginners and advanced scholars alike.’ – Mark Wrathall, University of California, USA ’A wonderful exposition of Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy as a whole. It offers clear explanations of Merleau-Ponty’s ideas and some of the most significant theories and movements that influenced him, and shows how his thinking developed across the course of his life. In addition, Carman has written with great panache.’ – Komarine Romdenh-Romluc, University of Nottingham, UK ’Carman’s account is nuanced, closely argued, and exceptionally clear ... It will be enormously useful to teachers and students seeking an accessible introduction to Merleau-Ponty’s writings.’ – Wayne Martin, University of Essex, UK ’This book is extremely well written – very clear and engaging – and, with regard to its representation of Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy, the account is comprehensive and insightful. I would recommend this book as the first and main commentary for students to consult.’ – Sebastian Gardner, University College London, UK Beginning with an overview of Merleau-Ponty’s life and work, subsequent chapters cover fundamental aspects of Merleau-Ponty’s thought. These include his philosophy of perception and intentionality; the role of the body in relation to perception; philosophy of history and culture; and his writings on art and aesthetics, particularly the work of Cezanne. A final chapter considers Merleau-Ponty’s importance today, examining his philosophy in light of recent developments in philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Merleau-Ponty is essential reading for students of phenomenology, existentialism and twentieth century philosophy. It is also ideal for anyone in the humanities and social sciences seeking an introduction to his work.

’A monumental study of a monumental theorist. This invaluable resource engages with Rawls’ work at every level: it’s an exposition, it’s a critique, and most important it projects an understanding of Rawls’ work into the future of political philosophy.

‘This is an exciting, interesting, and highly-readable book on Spinoza. Della Rocca offers a bold thesis: that Spinoza's philosophy results from persistently applying the principle of sufficient reason to absolutely everything – so, in short, there can be no dumb luck, no brute facts. Della Rocca successfully uses this thesis to illuminate the basics of Spinoza's philosophy, and to extend several scholarly discussions in new and interesting directions. His book will instruct both beginning and advanced students of Spinoza.’ – Charles Hueneman, Utah State University, USA ’An absolutely fantastic book. Della Rocca has succeeded in making Spinoza’s notoriously difficult thought accessible to a general audience without sacrificing any of the conceptual complexity and rigors that makes Spinoza such a good philosopher.’ – Martin Lin, University of Toronto, Canada Benedict de Spinoza (1632–77) was one of the towering philosophers of the seventeenth century. Renowned for his metaphysics, he also made significant contributions to understanding the human mind, the emotions, moral philosophy, and political philosophy. Beginning with an overview of Spinoza’s life, Della Rocca carefully unpacks and explains Spinoza’s philosophy: his metaphysics of substance and argument at the centre of his whole system that God is the sole independent substance; Spinoza’s account of the human mind and its relation to the body; his theory that human beings tend towards self-preservation and the role of the emotions; his most famous work, the Ethics, including the problem of free will; and his writings on the state, religion and scripture. Della Rocca concludes with a chapter on Spinoza’s legacy and how modern philosophers, Hume, Hegel, and Nietzsche, responded to Spinoza’s challenge. Ideal for those coming to Spinoza for the first time as well as those already acquainted with his thought, Spinoza is essential reading for anyone studying philosophy and also those in related subjects such as religion and history.

The New Hume Debate

The Routledge Companion to Twentieth Century Philosophy

Revised Edition Edited by Rupert Read, University of East Anglia, UK and Kenneth Richman, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, USA

Edited by Dermot Moran, University College Dublin, Ireland

For decades scholars thought they knew Hume’s position on the existence of causes and objects – he was a sceptic. However, this received view has been thrown into question by the ‘new’ readings of Hume as a sceptical realist.

Series: Routledge Philosophy Companions ‘The Routledge Companion to Twentieth Century Philosophy sets itself the Herculean task of surveying the philosophy of a whole century which saw the rise and fall of many powerful philosophical movements, movements which were themselves inspired by such giants as Carnap, Dewey, Husserl, Sartre and Wittgenstein, and of doing justice to those movements and those giants, without being either uncritically bland or inappropriately partisan, and, marvellous to relate, it succeeds. This will be a wonderful introduction to philosophy for the student and an indispensable addition to the library of the teacher of philosophy.’ – Hilary Putnam, Harvard University, USA

’It is hard to imagine a more useful, comprehensive or distinguished collection of essays on Western philosophy in the twentieth century. For anyone looking for an authoritative overview of the current state of the subject and its recent history this is where to find it.’ – Quassim Cassam, University of Cambridge, UK ’Philosophy is reflectively self-conscious. Distinctive among departments of thought, it absorbs its own meta-discipline. This outstanding volume is meta-philosophy of a high order: a welcome, expert review of the course of our discipline in the century just ended.’ – Ernest Sosa, Rutgers University, USA

The twentieth century was one of the most significant and exciting periods ever witnessed in philosophy, characterized by intellectual change and development on a massive scale. The Routledge Companion to Twentieth Century Philosophy is an outstanding authoritative survey and assessment of the century as a whole. Featuring twenty-two chapters written by leading international scholars, this collection is divided into five clear parts and presents a comprehensive picture of the period for the first time: •major themes and movements •philosophy of mind, psychology and science

For philosophers, students of philosophy and others interested in theories of causation and their history, The New Hume Debate is the first book to fully document the most influential contemporary readings of Hume’s work. Throughout, the volume brings the debate beyond textual issues in Hume to contemporary philosophical issues concerning causation and knowledge of the external world and issue in the history of philosophy, offering the reader a model for scholarly debate. This revised paperback edition includes three new chapters by Janet Broughton, Peter Kail and Peter Millican. List of Contributors: Kenneth A. Richman. Barry Stroud. Galen Strawson. Kenneth P. Winkler. John P. Wright. Simon Blackburn. Edward Craig. Martin Bell. Daniel Flage. Anne Jaap Jacobson. Rupert Read. Janet Broughton. Peter Millican.

•phenomenology, hermeneutics, existentialism, and critical theory •politics, ethics, aesthetics. Featuring annotated further reading and a comprehensive glossary, The Routledge Companion to Twentieth Century Philosophy is indispensable for anyone interested in philosophy over the last one hundred years, suitable for both expert and novice alike.

HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY

Medieval Philosophy

NEW

An Historical and Philosophical Introduction

History of Chinese Philosophy

John Marenbon, Trinity College, University of Cambridge, UK ’Professor Marenbon’s book is an authoritative, comprehensive, yet accessible survey of medieval philosophy, written by an expert at the height of his critical powers. Not only does the book guide the reader through the diverse issues of medieval philosophy, but provides sagacious instruction and illuminating commentary on the central topics of its chosen period of study.’ – Martin Stone, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium ’Marenbon has managed to write about an enormous array of topics in a lucid and accessible way. His prose is clear without being condescending, informative without being either patronizing or importunate. The beginner will find it approachable and unpretentious.’ – Peter King, University of Toronto, Canada This introduction replaces Marenbon’s best-selling editions Early Medieval Philosophy (1983) and Later Medieval Philosophy (1987) to present a single authoritative and comprehensive study of the period. It gives a lucid and engaging account of the history of philosophy in the Middle Ages, discussing the main writers and ideas, the social and intellectual contexts, and the important concepts used in medieval philosophy. Medieval Philosophy gives a chronological account which: • treats all four main traditions of philosophy that stem from the Greek heritage of late antiquity: Greek Christian philosophy, Latin philosophy, Arabic philosophy and Jewish philosophy • provides a series of ’study’ sections for close attention to arguments and shorter ’interludes’ that point to the wider questions of the intellectual context • combines philosophical analysis with historical background • includes a helpful detailed guide to further reading and an extensive bibliography. All students of medieval philosophy, medieval history, theology or religion will find this necessary reading. Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. The Ancient Traditions in Medieval Philosophy 3. Old Traditions and New Beginnings 4. Traditions Apart 5. The Latin Twelfth-Century 6. Philosophy in Twelfth-Century Islam 7. Philosophy in Paris and Oxford, 1200–1277 8. Philosophy in the Universities 1277–1400 9. Philosophy Outside the Universities, 1200–1400 10. Not an Epilogue: ‘Medieval’ Philosophy, 1400–1700

Peter Winch With a new introduction by Raimond Gaita Series: Routledge Classics ’Far and away the liveliest and most cogent of the responses yet made to that staid official judgement of some years ago, that political philosophy must now be presumed dead.’ – The Times Literary Supplement A passionate defender of the importance of philosophy to a full understanding of ’society’ against those who would deem it an irrelevant ’ivory towers’ pursuit, Winch draws from the works of such thinkers as Ludwig Wittgenstein, J.S. Mill and Max Weber to make his case. In so doing he addresses the possibility and practice of a comprehensive ’science of society’. 2007: 198x129: 192pp Pb: 978-0-415-42358-8: US $17.95

Pierre Bayle’s Cartesian Metaphysics Rediscovering Early Modern Philosophy

June 2008: 246x174: 768pp Hb: 978-0-415-35688-6: US $225.00

Todd Ryan, Trinity College, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Seventeenth Century Philosophy

Enlightenment’s Wake Politics and Culture at the Close of the Modern Age John Gray, London School of Economics, UK With a new introduction by the author Series: Routledge Classics ’Gray is one of our best social and political theorists ... This powerful and radical work opens as many doors as it closes.’ – New Statesman Gray wrote Enlightenment’s Wake in 1995 – six years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and six years before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Turning his back on neoliberalism at exactly the moment that its advocates were in their pomp, trumpeting ’the end of history’ and the supposedly unstoppable spread of liberal values across the globe, Gray’s was a lone voice of scepticism.

In his magnum opus, The Historical and Critical Dictionary (1697), Pierre Bayle engaged in a series of brilliant criticisms of the major philosophical positions of the seventeenth century. Through a careful analysis of Bayle’s critical encounters with the metaphysical systems of the modern philosophers, this book argues that despite his reputation as a skeptic, Bayle was not without philosophical commitments. Unfortunately, this more positive facet of Bayle’s thought has been underappreciated by scholars of Early Modern philosophy. Thus there remains a genuine need for a detailed study of Bayle’s metaphysics and its relation to the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. This impressive volume will be of interest to historians of philosophy and anyone interested by Bayle. October 2008: 234x156: 288pp Hb: 978-0-415-77018-7: US $120.00

NEW

Heredity, Race, and the Birth of the Modern Sara Eigen Figal, Vanderbilt University, USA This book places under sustained scrutiny some of our most basic modern assumptions about inheritance, genealogy, blood relations, and racial categories. It has at its core a deceptively simple question, one too often taken for granted: what constitutes ’good’ bonds among humans, and what compels us to determine them so across generations as both a physical and a metaphysical attribute? Answering this question is complex and involves a foray into a seemingly disparate array of early modern sources: from adages, common law, and literature about bloodlines and bastardy to philosophical, political, and scientific discourses that both confirm and confound the ’common sense’ of familial, communal, national, and racial identity.

The Analytic Turn Analysis in Early Analytic Philosophy and Phenomenology Edited by Michael Beaney, University of York, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth Century Philosophy This collection, with contributions from leading philosophers, places analytic philosophy in a broader context comparing it with the methodology of its most important rival tradition in twentieth-century philosophy – phenomenology, whose development parallels the development of analytic philosophy in many ways. The Analytic Turn will be of great interest to historians of philosophy generally, analytic philosophers, and phenomenologists.

American Philosophy: An Encyclopedia provides coverage of the major figures, concepts, historical periods and traditions in American philosophical thought. Containing over 600 entries written by scholars who are experts in the field, this Encyclopedia is the first of its kind. It is a scholarly reference work that is accessible to the ordinary reader by explaining complex ideas in simple terms and providing ample cross-references to facilitate further study. American Philosophy: An Encyclopedia contains a thorough analytical index and will serve as a standard, comprehensive reference work for universities and colleges. Topics covered include: • great philosophers: Emerson, Dewey, James, Royce, Peirce, Santayana • subjects: pragmatism, progress, the future, knowledge, democracy, growth, truth • influences on American philosophy: Hegel, Aristotle, Plato, British Enlightenment, Reformation • self-assessments: Joe Margolis, Donald Davidson, Susan Haack, Peter Hare, John McDermott, Stanley Cavell • ethics: value, pleasure, happiness, duty, judgment, growth

The Immanent Word establishes that the philosophical study of language inaugurated in the 1759 works of Hamann and Lessing marks a paradigm shift in modern philosophy; it analyzes the transformation of that shift in works of Herder, Kant, Fichte, Novalis and Schlegel. It contends that recent studies of early linguistic philosophy obscure the most relevant commission of its thinkers, arguing against the theological appropriation of Hamann by John Milbank; against the ’expressive’ appropriation of Hamann and Herder by Christina Lafont and Charles Taylor; and against Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy’s uncritical championing of Schlegel’s ideological position. 2007: 234x156: 272pp Hb: 978-0-415-98011-1: US $110.00

Nominalism and Constructivism in Seventeenth-Century Mathematical Philosophy David Sepkoski, Oberlin College, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Seventeenth Century Philosophy What was the basis for the adoption of mathematics as the primary mode of discourse for describing natural events by a large segment of the philosophical community in the seventeenth century? In answering this question, this book demonstrates that a significant group of philosophers shared the belief that there is no necessary correspondence between external reality and objects of human understanding, which they held to include the objects of mathematical and linguistic discourse. The result is a scholarly reliable, but accessible, account of the role of mathematics in the works of (amongst others) Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Newton, Leibniz, and Berkeley. This impressive volume will benefit scholars interested in the history of philosophy, mathematical philosophy and the history of mathematics. 2007: 234x156: 184pp Hb: 978-0-415-70211-9: US $135.00 eBook: 978-0-203-94035-8

Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy

Real Essentialism presents a comprehensive defence of neo-Aristotelian essentialism. Do objects have essences? Can we know what things are really like – can we define and classify reality? Many, if not most philosophers, doubt this, influenced by centuries of empiricism, and by the anti-essentialism of Wittgenstein, Quine, Popper, and other thinkers. Real Essentialism reinvigorates the tradition of realist, essentialist metaphysics, defending the reality and knowability of essence, the possibility of objective, immutable definition, and its relevance to contemporary scientific and metaphysical issues such as whether essence transcends physics and chemistry, the essence of life, the nature of biological species, and the nature of the person.

Series: Routledge Studies in Eighteenth Century Philosophy

This book is a sustained defence of traditional internalist epistemology. The aim is threefold: to address some key criticisms of internalism and show that they do not hit their mark; to articulate a detailed version of a central objection to externalism; and to illustrate how a consistent internalism can meet the charge that it fares no better in the face of this objection than does externalism itself. This original work will be recommended reading for scholars with an interest in epistemology. 2006: 234x156: 200pp Hb: 978-0-415-77067-5: US $140.00 eBook: 978-0-203-96830-7

This book sets out first to explain how two fairly recent developments in philosophy, externalism and modalism, provide the basis for a promising account of knowledge, and then works through the different modalized epistemologies extant in the literature, assessing their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, the author proposes the theory that knowledge is reliably formed, sensitive true belief, and defends the theory against objections.

Metaphysics and the Representational Fallacy Heather Dyke, University of Otago, New Zealand Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy In this refreshingly original and accessible investigation into the nature of metaphysics, Heather Dyke argues that for too long philosophy has suffered from a language-fixation. Where this language-fixation leads philosophers to reason badly she calls it the ‘representational fallacy.’ She illustrates the various ways it can lead philosophers astray, and argues that metaphysics can be better done without it. She discusses the philosophy of time as an illustration of how a metaphysical debate about the nature of time was needlessly transformed into a sterile debate about language, and of how, once the focus on language is dropped, a new metaphysical strategy emerges. Dyke shows how the same applies to other debates in metaphysics, and how this promises fruitful new research programmes, where the focus is on ontology rather than on language. 2007: 234x156: 200pp Hb: 978-0-415-95669-7: US $110.00 eBook: 978-0-203-93371-8

Michael J. Almeida, University of Texas, USA

The Metaphysics of Perfect Beings addresses the problems an Anselmian perfect being faces in contexts involving unlimited options. Recent advances in the theory of vagueness, the metaphysics of multiverses and hyperspace, the theory of dynamic or sequential choice, the logic of moral and rational dilemmas, and metaethical theory provide the resources to formulate the new challenges and the Anselmian responses with an unusual degree of precision. Almeida shows that the challenges arising in the unusual contexts involving unlimited options sometimes produce metaphysical surprise.

Causality Between Metaphysics and Methodology Julian Reiss, London School of Economics, UK Series: Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science In recent years scholars have increasingly recognized that discourses of national identity are gendered and racialized in ways that both mirror and mould power relations. This book examines links between gender, race and national identity by analysing a range of mass mediated and pop-cultural ‘texts’ in four nations: Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. The book has a broad empirical base and offers an analysis using the techniques of traditional content analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis, comparative sociology and feminist cultural studies.

Donald L.M. Baxter’s meticulous attention to textual detail yields a highly original interpretation of some of the most neglected or maligned parts of Hume’s Treatise. The focus is Hume’s treatment of the concept of numerical identity, which is central to his famous discussions of the external world and personal identity. Hume raises a long unappreciated, and still unresolved, difficulty with the concept of identity: how to represent something as ’a medium betwixt unity and number.’ Superficial resemblance to Frege’s famous puzzle has kept the difficulty in the shadows. Hume’s way of addressing it makes sense only in the context of his unorthodox theory of time. Baxter shows the defensibility of that theory against past dismissive interpretations, especially of Hume’s stance on infinite divisibility. Later the author shows how the difficulty underlies Hume’s later worries about his theory of personal identity, in a new reading motivated by Hume’s important appeals to consciousness. Baxter casts Hume throughout as an acute metaphysician, and reconciles this side of Hume with his overarching Pyrrhonian skepticism. 2007: 234x156: 144pp Hb: 978-0-415-95594-2: US $110.00 eBook: 978-0-203-94025-9

The Metaphysics of Perception Wilfrid Sellars, Perceptual Consciousness and Critical Realism Paul Coates, University of Hertfordshire, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth Century Philosophy This book challenges contemporary direct realist theories of perception and defends a version of the causal theory that the author locates in the critical realist tradition of which Wilfrid Sellars is the main recent exponent. The author highlights the difficulties direct realists face in providing a coherent positive account of their view. He develops an analysis of perceptual experience derived from the later writings of Sellars. According to this account experience involves both low-level concepts and a distinct sensory component. This view makes sense of the various notions of nonconceptual content appealed to in current discussion, and provides, in addition, solutions to the conceptual problems raised by recent experimental work on attention and change-blindness. 2007: 234x156: 288pp Hb: 978-0-415-28445-5: US $110.00 eBook: 978-0-203-50382-9

From Truth to Reality

Freedom and Resentment and Other Essays

Scepticism and Naturalism: Some Varieties

P.F. Strawson

New Essays in Logic and Metaphysics Edited by Heather Dyke, University of Otago, New Zealand Questions about truth and questions about reality are intimately connected. One can ask whether numbers exist by asking ’Are there numbers?’ But one can also ask what arguably amounts to the same question by asking ’Is the sentence “There are numbers” true?’ Such semantic ascent implies that reality can be investigated by investigating our true sentences. This line of thought was dominant in twentieth century philosophy, but is now beginning to be called into question. In From Truth to Reality, Heather Dyke brings together some of the foremost metaphysicians to examine approaches to truth, reality, and the connections between the two. This collection features new and previously unpublished material by J.C Beall, Mark Colyvan, Michael Devitt, John Heil, Frank Jackson, Fred Kroon, D.H. Mellor, Luca Moretti, Alan Musgrave, Robert Nola, J.J.C. Smart, Michael Smith, Paul Snowdon, and Daniel Stoljar. July 2008: 234x156: 256pp Hb: 978-0-415-98845-2: US $99.95

With a new foreword by Paul Snowdon

With a new foreword by Quassim Cassam

‘Prime philosopher of Oxford’s golden age, and champion of both the richness of ordinary language and of natural beliefs.’ – The Guardian

Unavailable for many years, Scepticism and Naturalism is a profound reflection on two classic philosophical problems by a philosopher at the pinnacle of his career.

‘Distinguished Oxford philosopher whose spare, elegant work made sense of Kant’s metaphysics.’ – The Independent

Based on his acclaimed Woodbridge lectures delivered at Columbia University in 1983, Strawson begins with a discussion of scepticism, which he defines as questioning the adequacy of our grounds for holding various beliefs. He then draws deftly on Hume and Wittgenstein to argue that we must distinguish between ’hard’, scientific naturalism; or ’soft’, humanistic naturalism. In the remaining chapters the author takes up several issues in which sceptical doubts play an important role, in particular the nature of transcendental arguments and including the objectivity of moral philosophy, the mental and the physical, and the existence of abstract entities.

‘A stimulating and wide-ranging book.’ – A.J. Ayer, New Statesman ‘This collection enabled one to appreciate the great versatility Professor Strawson has. We have here, under one cover, valuable contributions to the most diverse and broad ranging problems in philosophy.’ – Philosophical Books By the time of his death in 2006, Sir Peter Strawson was regarded as one of the world’s most distinguished philosophers. First published thirty years ago but long since unavailable, Freedom and Resentment and Other Essays collects some of Strawson’s most important work and is an ideal introduction to his thinking on such topics as the philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology and aesthetics. Beginning with the title essay Freedom and Resentment, this invaluable collection is testament to the astonishing range of Strawson’s thought as he discusses free will, ethics and morality, logic, the mind-body problem and aesthetics. The book is perhaps best-known for its three interrelated chapters on perception and the imagination, subjects now at the very forefront of philosophical research.

Scepticism and Naturalism is essential reading for those seeking an introduction to the work of one of the twentieth century’s most important and original philosophers. This reissue includes a substantial new foreword by Quassim Cassam and a fascinating intellectual autobiography by Strawson, which together form an excellent introduction to his life and work.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE MIND AND PSYCHOLOGY

Arguing About the Mind

The Phenomenological Mind

Philosophy of Psychology

Edited by Brie Gertler, University of Virginia, USA and Lawrence Shapiro, University of WisconsinMadison, USA

An Introduction to Philosophy of Mind and Cognitive Science

A Contemporary Introduction

Series: Arguing About Philosophy ’I think this is brilliant. In conception and execution, the anthology does something which is both original and needed as a teaching resource ... The editors motivate the philosophical questions in a fresh and illuminating way, with an excellent choice of readings based around problems which will have occurred to most thoughtful philosophy students.’ – Tim Crane, University College London, UK ’Arguing About the Mind makes use of original sources to introduce problems in the philosophy of mind in a way calculated to be intelligible to readers with no previous background in philosophy. By relying on readings intended for a broad audience, Gertler and Shapiro deftly sidestep technical disputes of the kind that too often deter students encountering serious philosophical writing for the first time. The result is a stunning topical introduction to philosophy via the philosophy of mind.’ – John Heil, Washington University in St Louis, USA

Shaun Gallagher, University of Central Florida, USA and Dan Zahavi, University of Copenhagen, Denmark ‘Offering a fresh new approach, this clear and accessible book shows the relevance of Phenomenology to contemporary investigations of the mind and brain. It will be useful for students and scholars alike in the cognitive sciences who wish to gain a better understanding of Phenomenology and its relevance to their research.’ – Evan Thompson, University of Toronto, Canada ‘This excellent and much-needed book offers the first comprehensive introduction to phenomenological philosophy of mind. Written by two internationally renowned contributors to this exciting and fast-growing interdisciplinary field, it will be an indispensable resource for students and researchers alike.’ – Matthew Ratcliffe, Durham University, UK ‘Co-authored by two of the most prominent and respected contributors to the field, this is an outstanding book, and a very welcome and much-needed addition to the literature.’ – Daniel Hutto, University of Hertfordshire, UK

José Luis Bermúdez, Washington State University in St Louis, USA Series: Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy ’A great feat ... Chock full of examples from contemporary research, and beginners are brought to advanced discussion of contemporary thinking about cognition. Beginning philosophers, and serious researchers in philosophy and allied fields will profit from it.’ – Krista Lawlor, Philosophical Books ’An outstanding introductory text in philosophy of psychology that lends itself readily to use in a variety of courses. It will, in addition, constitute an independent, substantive contribution to philosophy of psychology and philosophy of mind.’ – David Rosenthal, City University of New York, USA ’Philosophers of psychology and philosophically minded psychologists are in need of just this kind of introductory book. I would recommend this material both for pedagogy and as a place for scholars to turn to for a refresher.’ – Joe Cruz, Williams College, USA

• What is phenomenology?

José Luis Bermúdez introduces the philosophy of psychology as an interdisciplinary exploration of the nature and mechanisms of cognition. Philosophy of Psychology charts out four influential ’pictures of the mind’ and uses them to explore central topics in the philosophical foundations of psychology, including the relation between different levels of studying the mind/brain; the nature and scope of psychological explanation; the architecture of cognition; and the relation between thought and language.

• the nature of the mind

• naturalizing phenomenology and the empirical cognitive sciences

Chapters cover all the core concepts, including: • models of psychological explanation

• the relationship between the mind, body and world

• phenomenology and consciousness

• the nature of commonsense psychology

• the notion of selfhood

• consciousness and self-consciousness, including perception and action

• arguments for the autonomy of psychology

• pathologies and behavioural problems

• time and consciousness, including William James

• animal, machine and extra-terrestrial intelligence.

• intentionality

The editors provide lucid introductions to each section and give an overview of the debate and outline the arguments of the papers. An original and stimulating reader, it is ideal for students new to the philosophy of mind.

Edited by José Luis Bermúdez, Washington State University in St. Louis, USA

Critical Reasoning

Michael Clark, University of Nottingham, UK

Series: Routledge Contemporary Readings in Philosophy

Anne Thomson

’This is not metaphysics passed off as science. This is not psychology posing as philosophy. This really is a book about the philosophical problems encountered in psychology. Bermúdez has found a highly enlightening way to taxonomize the issues, and he has put together a unique collection of papers illustrating the various types. The disagreements stand out clearly, so that students and their teachers alike will be provoked into taking sides.’ – Christopher Gauker, University of Cincinnati, USA ’This is a cleverly constructed reader that contains essential work from the most important philosophers of psychology of the last three decades. It is the ideal core reader for any course on the philosophy of psychology.’ – Tony Stone, London South Bank University, UK Philosophy of Psychology: Contemporary Readings is a comprehensive anthology that includes classic and contemporary readings from leading philosophers. Addressing in depth the major topics within philosophy of psychology, the editor has carefully selected articles under the following headings: • pictures of the mind • commonsense psychology • representation and cognitive architecture. Articles by the following philosophers are included: Blackburn, Churchland, Clark, Cummins, Dennett, Davidson, Fodor, Kitcher, Lewis, Lycan, McDowell, McLeod, Rey, Segal, and Stich. Each section includes a helpful introduction by the editor which aims to guide the student gently into the topic. The book is highly accessible and provides a broad-ranging exploration of the subject, including discussion of the leading philosophers in the field. Ideal for any student of philosophy of psychology or philosophy of mind.

A Practical Introduction We all engage in the process of reasoning, but we don’t always pay attention to whether we are doing it well. This book offers the opportunity to practise reasoning in a clear-headed and critical way, with the aims of developing an awareness of the importance of reasoning well and of improving the reader’s skill in analyzing and evaluating arguments. In this third edition, Anne Thomson has updated and revised the book to include fresh and topical examples which will guide students through the processes of critical reasoning in a clear and engaging way. In addition, two new chapters on evaluating the credibility of evidence and decision making and dilemmas will fully equip students to reason well. By the end of the book students should be able to: • identify flaws in arguments • analyze the reasoning in newspaper articles, books and speeches • assess the credibilty of evidence and authorities • make sound decisions and solve dilemmas • approach any topic with the ability to reason and think critically. Selected Contents: Introduction 1. Analysing Reasoning 2. Evaluating Reasoning 3. Evaluating Evidence and Authorities 4. Recognising Implications 5. Skills in the Use of Language 6. Making Decisions/Resolving Dilemmas 7. Exercising the Skills of Reasoning. Answers to Exercises. Bibliography and Further Reading.

Truth and Speech Acts Studies in the Philosophy of Language Edited by Dirk Greimann and Geo Siegwart, both at University of Greifswald, Germany Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy Whereas the relationship between truth and propositional content has already been intensively investigated, there are only very few studies devoted to the task of illuminating the relationship between truth and illocutionary acts. This book fills that gap. This innovative collection addresses such themes as: • the relation between the concept of truth and the success conditions of assertions and kindred speech acts • the linguistic devices of expressing the truth of a proposition • the relation between predication and truth. 2007: 234x156: 416pp Hb: 978-0-415-40651-2: US $135.00 eBook: 978-0-203-94031-0

PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE

NEW

Philosophical Delusion and its Therapy Outline of a Philosophical Revolution Eugen Fischer, University of East Anglia, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy Philosophical Delusion and its Therapy develops a novel account of the nature and genesis of philosophical problems. This account vindicates a revolutionary reorientation of philosophical work: the project of philosophical therapy pioneered by Ludwig Wittgenstein. With the help of concepts adapted from different branches of cognitive science (cognitive linguistics, cognitive and clinical psychology), the book explains where and why therapy is called for in philosophy, and develops techniques to actually carry it out.

Philosophy and the Vision of Language Paul M. Livingston, Villanova University, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth Century Philosophy Philosophy and the Vision of Language explores the history and enduring significance of the twentieth-century turn to language as a specific object of investigation and resource for philosophical reflection. It traces the implications of the access to language in some of the most prominent projects and results of the historical and contemporary tradition of analytic philosophy, including the projects of Frege, Wittgenstein, Sellars, Quine, Brandom, and Cavell. Additionally, it demonstrates the deep and enduring connections between the analytic tradition’s inquiry into language and the parallel inquiries of phenomenology, critical theory, and deconstruction over the course of the twentieth century. Finally, it documents some of the enduring consequences of philosophy’s inquiry into language for contemporary questions of social and political life. The book provides a clear, accessible and widely inclusive introduction to the relevance of language for analytic and continental philosophy in the twentieth century and is readable by non-specialist audiences. It should contribute to a growing historical sense of the location of the analytic tradition in a broader geography of social, political and critical thought. Furthermore, it contributes to building bridges between this tradition and the neighboring continental ones from which it has all too often been estranged.

LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN

Understanding Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Pasquale Frascolla, Università della Basilicata, Potenza, Italy Understanding Wittgenstein’s Tractatus provides an accessible and yet novel discussion of all the major themes of the Tractatus. The book starts by setting out the history and structure of the Tractatus. It then investigates the two main dimensions of the early Wittgenstein’s thought, corresponding to the division between what language can say by means of its propositions and what language can only show. It goes on to discuss picture theory, logical atomism, extensionality, truth-functions and truth-operations, semantics, metalogic and mathematics, solipsism and value, metaphysics, and finally, Wittgenstein’s idea of the duty of maintaining silence. Frascolla also proposes a new interpretation of the ontology of the Tractatus. Based on the identification of objects with qualia, the argument put forward in the book challenges the currently prevalent ideas of the ‘New Wittgenstein’. The paradoxical nature of the Tractatus itself, and the theme of ’throwing away the ladder’, are thus revisited in a new key. Understanding Wittgenstein’s Tractatus is essential reading for anyone wishing to further their insight into one of the most influential works of twentieth century philosophy.

Praxeological Investigations Roderick Long, Auburn University, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth Century Philosophy Fascinating and thought-provoking, this book shows how the methodology of Austrian economics can be justified and strengthened by grounding it in the philosophy of Wittgenstein. Frege and Wittgenstein argued that whatever counts as thought must embody logical principles. Their arguments also support the conclusion that whatever constitutes action must embody economic principles. In this incisive text, the author shows that this confirms the claims of Austrian economists such as Mises and Hayek that the laws of economics are a priori rather than empirical. With both Wittgenstein and Austrian economics considered as key topics in the field, this is undoubtedly an important work both for researchers and students alike.

Wittgenstein’s Enduring Arguments Edited by David Levy and Edoardo Zamuner, both at Edinburgh University, UK What is the enduring legacy of Wittgenstein’s philosophy? With chapters by leading Wittgenstein scholars, this examines the place of Wittgenstein’s philosophy in twentieth century European philosophy. The first part of the book examines the interaction between Wittgenstein and Russell, Frege, the Vienna Circle and Logical Positivism and the nature of logical analysis, the identity theory of truth, logical relations and necessity and Wittgenstein’s search for a phenomenological language. The second and third parts cover Wittgenstein and mathematical intuitionism, constructivism, and semantic realism and Wittgenstein’s later philosophy and writings on psychology and religion.

The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge

How to Keep the Peace: The Pacifist Dilemma, 1935–38

Karl Popper

Edited by Jeremy Shearmur, Australian National University, Australia and Piers Norris Turner, University of North Carolina, USA

Edited by Troels Eggers Hansen

Bertrand Russell Edited by Andrew Bone Series: The Collected Papers of Bertrand Russell In this collection Bertrand Russell grapples with the dilemma that confronted all opponents of militarism and war in the 1930s – namely, what was the most politically and morally appropriate response to international aggression. How to Keep the Peace contains some of Russell’s best-known essays, such as the famous Auto-obituary and his treatment of The Superior Virtue of the Oppressed. Like the sixteen previous volumes in Routledge’s critical edition of Russell’s shorter writings, however, Collected Papers 21 also includes a number of unpublished manuscripts from the Bertrand Russell Archives at McMaster University. Moreover, it recovers for Russell scholars and general readers alike a rich vein of material that has previously appeared in print only in obscure or long-defunct newspaper and periodical publications.

In this long-awaited volume, Jeremy Shearmur and Piers Norris Turner bring to light Popper’s most important unpublished and uncollected writings from the time of The Open Society until his death in 1994. After the Open Society: Selected Social and Political Writings reveals the development of Popper’s political and philosophical thought during and after the Second World War, from his early socialism through to the radical humanitarianism of The Open Society. The papers in this collection, many of which are available here for the first time, demonstrate the clarity and pertinence of Popper’s thinking on such topics as religion, history, Plato and Aristotle, while revealing a lifetime of unwavering political commitment. After the Open Society illuminates the thought of one of the twentieth century’s greatest philosophers and is essential reading for anyone interested in the recent course of philosophy, politics, history and society.

Translated by Andreas Pickel In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described Die beiden Grundprobleme der Erkenntnistheorie – The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge – as ‘ a child of crises, above all of the crisis of physics’. Finally available in English, it is a major contribution to the philosophy of science, epistemology and twentieth century philosophy generally. The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the centre of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science. Popper seeks to solve these two basic problems with his celebrated theory of falsifiability, arguing that the inferences made in science are not inductive but deductive; science does not start with observations and proceed to generalise them but with problems, which it attacks with bold conjectures. The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge is essential reading for anyone interested in Karl Popper, in the history and philosophy of science, and in the methods and theories of science itself.

Karl Popper’s Philosophy of Science

The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Science

Rationality without Foundations

Edited by Stathis Psillos, University of Athens, Greece and Martin Curd, Purdue University, USA

Stefano Gattei

Series: Routledge Philosophy Companions ’Here is philosophy of science the way it should be. In these pages some of the very best philosophers working today grapple with the big issues of metaphysics, language, and epistemology as they relate to science. This volume is a true introduction to a philosophy of science that has real stature; a philosophy of science that puts the subject at the crossing point of arguments from across the intellectual landscape.’ – Peter Galison, Harvard University, USA

Series: Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science Focusing on one of the most significant figures in twentieth-century philosophy, this important new book seeks to rectify misrepresentations of Popperian thought with a historical approach to his philosophy. This approach is one which applies his own mature view – that we gain knowledge through conjectures and refutations – to his own development, by portraying him in his intellectual growth as just such a series. Stefano Gattei reconstructs the logic of Popper’s development to highlight how one problem and its tentative solution led to a new problem. Lucidly written by a widely-respected author, this book is an invaluable resource for philosophers of science, historians of philosophy and those interested in science criticism and the growth of knowledge.

On the Internet Hubert L. Dreyfus, University of California, Berkeley, USA Series: Thinking in Action Can the internet solve the problem of mass education, and bring human beings to a new level of community? Drawing on a diverse array of thinkers from Plato to Kierkegaard, On the Internet agues that there is much in common between the disembodied, free floating web and Descartes’ separation of mind and body. Dreyfus also shows how Kierkegaard’s insights into the origins of a media-obsessed public anticipate the web surfer, blogger and chat room. Drawing on studies of the isolation experienced by many internet users and the insights of philosopher such as Descartes and Kierkegaard, Dreyfus shows how the internet’s privatisation of experience ignores essential human capacities such as trust, moods, risk, shared local concerns and commitment. The second edition includes a brand new chapter on ‘Second Life’ and is revised throughout. June 2008: 198x129: 160pp Pb: 978-0-415-77516-8: US $21.95

A Contemporary Introduction to the World of Proofs and Pictures

Science is popularly understood as being an ideal of impartial algorithmic objectivity that provides us with a realistic description of the world down to the last detail. The essays collected in this book – written by some of the leading experts in the field – challenge this popular image right at its heart, taking as their starting point that science trades not only in truth, but in fiction, too.

Series: Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy

Series: Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy ’A very impressive book. Coverage is complete without being overly encyclopedic and diffuse, and competing arguments are given fair and even-handed treatment.’ – Gregory Frost-Arnold, University of Nevada, USA Is life a purely physical process? What is human nature? Which of our traits is essential to us? In this volume, Daniel McShea and Alex Rosenberg – a biologist and a philosopher, respectively – join forces to create a new gateway to the philosophy of biology; making the major issues accessible and relevant to biologists and philosophers alike. Exploring concepts such as supervenience; the controversies about genocentrism and genetic determinism; and the debate about major transitions central to contemporary thinking about macroevolution; the authors lay out the broad terms in which we should assess the impact of biology on human capacities, social institutions and ethical values.

With case studies that range from physics to economics and to biology, Fictions in Science reveals that fictions are as ubiquitous in scientific narratives and practice as they are in any other human endeavor, including literature and art. Of course scientific activity, most prominently in the formal sciences, employs logically precise algorithmic thinking. However, the key to the predictive and technological success of the empirical sciences might well lie elsewhere – perhaps even in scientists’ extraordinary creative imagination instead. As these essays demonstrate, within the bounds of what is empirically possible, a scientist’s capacity for invention and creative thinking matches that of any writer or artist.

A great deal has changed since 1905 when Einstein proposed his Special Theory of Relativity, and this book offers a fresh reassessment of Special Relativity’s relativistic concept of time in terms of epistemology, metaphysics, and physics. 2007: 234x156: 312pp Hb: 978-0-415-70174-7: US $135.00 eBook: 978-0-203-70005-1

In his long-awaited new edition of Philosophy of Mathematics, James Robert Brown tackles important new, as well as enduring, questions in the mathematical sciences. Can pictures go beyond being merely suggestive and actually prove anything? Are mathematical results certain? Are experiments of any real value? This clear and engaging book takes a unique approach, encompassing non-standard topics such as the role of visual reasoning, the importance of notation, and the place of computers in mathematics, as well as traditional topics such as formalism, Platonism, and constructivism. The combination of topics and clarity of presentation make it suitable for beginners and experts alike. The revised and updated second edition of Philosophy of Mathematics contains more examples, suggestions for further reading, and expanded material on several topics including a novel approach to the continuum hypothesis.

Philosophy of Education: The Key Concepts

Edited by Stephan Hartmann, Tilburg University, the Netherlands, Carl Hoefer, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain and Luc Bovens, London School of Economics, UK

This outstanding collection of specially commissioned new essays on Williams’ work is essential reading for anyone interested in Williams, ethics and moral philosophy, and philosophy in general.

Series: Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science Nancy Cartwright is one of the most distinguished and influential contemporary philosophers of science. Despite the profound impact of her work, there is neither a systematic exposition of Cartwright’s philosophy of science nor a collection of articles that contains in-depth discussions of the major themes of her philosophy. This book is devoted to a critical assessment of Cartwright’s philosophy of science and contains contributions from Cartwright’s champions and critics. Broken into three parts, the book begins by addressing Cartwright’s views on the practice of model building in science and the question of how models represent the world before moving on to a detailed discussion of methodologically and metaphysically challenging problems. Finally, the book addresses Cartwright’s original attempts to clarify profound questions concerning the metaphysics of science. With contributions from leading scholars, such as Ronald N. Giere, Judea Pearl, and Paul Teller, this unique volume will be extremely useful to philosophers of science the world over.

’The War for Children’s Minds is a brilliantly clear and convincingly argued defence of liberalism in moral education. Stephen Law examines and demolishes all the arguments in favour of authoritarian ways of teaching, and shows that in spite of the insistence of popular commentators from the religious right, a liberal and rational examination and discussion of moral questions does not lead to relativism and the decay of ethical behaviour, but can in fact be the best defence against them ... It should be read by every teacher, every parent, and every politician. What’s more, it should form the subject for discussion in every church, synagogue, mosque, and religious youth group.

Shame is one of a family of self-conscious emotions that includes embarrassment, guilt, disgrace, and humiliation. On Shame examines this emotion psychologically and philosophically, in order to show how it can be a galvanizing force for moral action against the violence and atrocity that characterize the world we live in. Michael L. Morgan argues that because shame is global in its sense of the self, the moral failures of all groups in which we are a member – including the entire human race – reflect on each person individually. Drawing on historical and current affairs to explore the emotion of shame, as well as films such as Night and Fog, Hotel Rwanda and Life is Beautiful and the work of Primo Levi, Bernard Williams, and Stanley Cavell, Michael L. Morgan illustrates how moral responsibility can be facilitated by calling upon an emotional reaction that is familiar, complex, and central to our conception of ourselves as individuals and as members of society.

‘The first edition of The Animal Ethics Reader was an important contribution to the development of courses in animal ethics. This new, improved edition will make an even more important contribution.’ – Dale Jamieson, New York University, USA The second edition of The Animal Ethics Reader is the most current and comprehensive anthology of readings on the subject of animal ethics. Whilst keeping the best of the previous edition, the editors have updated readings to reflect ongoing developments and emerging issues like rehabilitation of oiled wildlife, human elephant interactions, and animal consciousness and emotion. Classic and contemporary readings are arranged thematically, carefully presenting a balanced representation of the field as it stands, and include selections from leading experts in the field. Each chapter is introduced by the editors and study questions feature at the end. The second edition also contains a new foreword by Bernard Rollin.

The Ethics of Care and Empathy Michael Slote, University of Miami, USA Eminent moral philosopher Michael Slote argues that care ethics presents an important challenge to other ethical traditions and that a philosophically developed care ethics should, and can, offer its own comprehensive view of the whole of morality. Taking inspiration from British moral sentimentalism and drawing on recent psychological literature on empathy, he shows that the use of that notion allows care ethics to develop its own sentimentalist account of respect, autonomy, social justice, and deontology. Furthermore, he argues that care ethics gives a more persuasive account of these topics than theories offered by contemporary Kantian liberalism. The most philosophically rich and challenging exploration of the theory and practice of care to date, The Ethics of Care and Empathy also shows the manifold connections that can be drawn between philosophical issues and leading ideas in the fields of psychology, education, and women’s studies.

The Ethics of Confucius and Aristotle Mirrors of Virtue Jiyuan Yu, University of Buffalo, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory As a comparative study of the virtue ethics of Aristotle and Confucius, this book explores how they each reflect upon human good and virtue out of their respective cultural assumptions, conceptual frameworks, and philosophical perspectives. It does not simply take one side as a framework to understand the other; rather, it takes them as mirrors for each other and seeks to develop new readings and perspectives of both ethics that would be unattainable if each were studied on its own. 2007: 234x156: 288pp Hb: 978-0-415-95647-5: US $110.00 eBook: 978-0-203-94032-7

Arguing About Philosophy Series

Keeping Faith Philosophy and Race in America Cornel West

Arguing About Metaethics

Series: Routledge Classics

Edited by Andrew Fisher, University of Nottingham, UK and Simon Kirchin, University of Kent, UK Arguing About Metaethics collects together some of the most exciting contemporary work in metaethics in one handy volume. In it, many of the most influential philosophers in the field discuss key questions in metaethics: • Do moral properties exist?

’The sheer range of West’s interests and insights is staggering and exemplary: he appears equally comfortable talking about literature, ethics, art, jurisprudence, religion, and popular-cultural forms.’ – Artforum Keeping Faith is a rich, moving and deeply personal collection of essays from one of the leading African American intellectuals of our age. Drawing upon the traditions of Western philosophy and modernity, Cornel West critiques structures of power and oppression as they operate within American society and provides a way of thinking about human dignity and difference afresh. Impressive in its scope, West confidently and deftly explores the politics and philosophy of America, the role of the black intellectual, legal theory and the future of liberal thought, and the fate of African Americans. A celebration of the extraordinary lives of ordinary Americans, Keeping Faith is a petition to hope and a call to faith in the redemptive power of the human spirit.

Aesthetics and Morals in the Philosophy of David Hume Timothy M. Costelloe, College of William and Mary, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Eighteenth Century Philosophy This book examines Hume’s philosophy with a view to realizing two aims. First, to examine the extent and significance of the connection between Hume’s aesthetics and his moral philosophy; and, second, to consider how, in light of the connection, his moral philosophy addresses central questions in ethics.

• If they do, how do they fit into the world as science conceives it? • If they don’t exist, then how should we understand moral thought and language? • What is the relation between moral judgement and motivation? As well as these questions, this volume discusses a wide range of issues including moral objectivity, truth and moral judgements, moral psychology, thick evaluative concepts and moral relativism. The editors provide lucid introductions to each of the eleven themed sections in which they show how the debate lies and outline the arguments of the papers. Arguing About Metaethics is an ideal resource text for students at upper undergraduate or postgraduate level. Selected Contents: 1. The Open Question Argument 2. Error Theory and Moral Realism 3. Moral Realism After Moore: Naturalism 4. Moral Realism After Moore: Non-Naturalism 5. Expressivism 6. Expressivism and the Frege-Geach Problem 8. Expressivism and Minimalism About Truth 9.

Ethics and War in the 21st Century

Series: Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory

Series: LSE International Studies Series

Series: Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory Particularism is a justly popular ‘cutting-edge’ topic in contemporary ethics across the world. Many moral philosophers do not, in fact, support particularism (instead defending ’generalist’ theories that rest on particular abstract moral principles), but nearly all would take it to be a position that continues to offer serious lessons and challenges that cannot be safely ignored. Given the high standard of the contributions, and that this is a subject where lively debate continues to flourish, Challenging Moral Particularism will become required reading for professionals and advanced students working in the area. 2007: 234x156: 232pp Hb: 978-0-415-96377-0: US $95.00 eBook: 978-0-203-93778-5

Narrative Identity and Moral Identity A Practical Perspective Kim Atkins, University of Wollongong, Australia Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy

This book is about fundamental questions in normative ethics. It begins with the idea that we often respond to ethical theories according to how principled or pragmatic they are. It clarifies this contrast and then uses it to shed light on old debates in ethics, such as debates about the rival merits of consequentialist and deontological views. Using the idea that principled views seem most appealing in dilemmas of acquiescence, it goes on to develop a novel theory of pattern-based reasons. These are reasons to play one’s part in some larger pattern of action because of the goodness or rightness of that pattern. Existing accounts of pattern-based reasons usually assume that such reasons can exist only in cooperative contexts. This book rejects that assumption, and claims instead that we can have pattern-based reasons even when the other agents involved in the pattern are wholly unwilling to cooperate. The result is a pluralist teleological structure for ethics, with similarities to some forms of Rule Consequentialism. Woodard claims that this structure achieves an attractive balance between the two virtues of being pragmatic and being principled. 2007: 234x156: 168pp Hb: 978-0-415-95849-3: US $95.00 eBook: 978-0-203-93513-2

Christopher Coker, London School of Economics, UK This book explores the ethical implications of war in the contemporary world. The author, a leading theorist of warfare, explains why it is of crucial importance that Western countries should continue to apply traditional ethical rules and practices in war, even when engaging with international terrorist groups. The book uses the work of the late American philosopher Richard Rorty to explain the need to make ethical rules central to the conduct of military operations. Arguing that the question of ethics was re-opened by the ‘War on Terror’, the book then examines America’s post-9/11 redefinition of its own prevailing discourse of war. It ends with a discussion of other key challenges to the ethics of war, such as the rise of private security companies and the use of robots in war. In exploring these issues, this book seeks to place ethics at the centre of debates about the conduct of future warfare. This book will be of great interest to all students of military ethics, war studies, military history and strategic studies in general, and to military colleges in particular. Selected Contents: 1. Fighting Terrorism 1.1 A New Discourse on War? 1.2 Richard Rorty and the Ethics of War 2.

Richard Hull, National University of Ireland, Ireland

Thom Brooks, University of Newcastle, UK

Diane Jeske, University of Iowa, USA

Series: Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory

Punishment is an area of increasing importance and concern of both citizens and politicians. How do we decide what should be crimes? How do we decide when someone is responsible for a crime? What should we do with criminals? These are the main questions this introductory textbook on the philosophy of punishment discusses. This is not only the first textbook to examine all major perspectives on punishment (including restorative justice, expressivist theories, and others for the first time), but also looks at several case studies (capital punishment, juvenile offenders, domestic abuse, and sexual crimes) and how these theories grapple with them. Punishment is aimed at those approaching the topic for the first time, although also appropriate to those already working in the field. In addition to further readings offered in each chapter, there will be an extensive bibliography at the conclusion listing all the major works in the field which itself may be a valuable resource to beginners and more advanced readers alike. An ideal starting point for undergraduate students of Law, Criminology, and Philosophy. Selected Contents: Introduction Part 1: General Theories 1. Retributivism 2. Deterrence 3. Rehabilitation 4. Restorative Justice Part 2: Hybrid Theories 5. Rawls and Hart 6. Expressivist Theories 7. Idealist Theories Part 3: Case Studies 8. Capital Punishment 9. Juvenile Offenders 10. Domestic Abuse 11. Sexual Crimes. Conclusion

Series: Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory This book provides answers to both normative and metaethical questions in a way that shows the interconnection of both types of questions, and also shows how a complete theory of reasons can be developed by moving back and forth between the two types of questions. It offers an account of the nature of intimate relationships and of the nature of the reasons that intimacy provides, and then uses that account to defend a traditional intuitionist metaethics. The book thus combines attention to the details of the lived moral life – the context in which many of our most pressing moral questions arise, how we deliberate and make moral decisions, the complexities that plague our attempts to know what we ought to do – with theoretical rigor in offering an account of the nature of reasons, how we come to have moral knowledge, and how we can adjudicate between competing positions.

A Pragmatist Philosophy of Democracy Robert B. Talisse, Vanderbilt University, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy In political philosophy, the revival of pragmatism has led to a new appreciation for the democratic theory of John Dewey. In this book, Robert B. Talisse advances a series of pragmatic arguments against Deweyan democracy. Particularly, Talisse argues that Deweyan democracy cannot adequately recognize pluralism, the fact that intelligent, sincere, and well-intentioned persons can disagree sharply and reasonably over moral ideals. Drawing upon the epistemology of the founder of pragmatism, Charles S. Peirce, Talisse develops a conception of democracy that is anti-Deweyan but nonetheless pragmatist. Talisse then brings the Peircean view into critical conversation with contemporary developments in democratic theory, including deliberative democracy, Rawlsian political liberalism, and Richard Posner’s democratic realism. The result is a new pragmatist option in democratic theory. 2007: 234x156: 176pp Hb: 978-0-415-77088-0: US $135.00 eBook: 978-0-203-94024-2

James Mill and the Despotism of Philosophy Reading ’The History of British India’ David McInerney, University of Adelaide, Australia Series: Studies in Philosophy This book considers the relations between James Mill’s History of British India (1818) and Enlightenment historiography, especially William Robertson’s Historical Disquisition Concerning the Knowledge the Ancients had of India (1791), arguing that it was in The History of British India that Mill first published his theory of government, which appears there in his account of ’Oriental despotism’ and his criticisms of Robertson’s account of the caste system, and that, contrary to the opinion of certain critics, Mill’s usage of ’history’ in The History of British India is not rationalist but rather entails a distinctively empiricist conception of the relationship between historical records and the improvement of government.

Mill’s Radical Liberalism

Judith Butler and Political Theory

An Essay in Retrieval

Troubling Politics

An Introduction to Philosophy and International Relations

Jonathan Riley, Tulane University, USA

Samuel A. Chambers, Swansea University, UK and Terrell Carver, University of Bristol, UK

Patrick Thaddeus Jackson, American University, Washington DC, USA

Over the past twenty-five years the work of Judith Butler has had an extraordinary impact on numerous disciplines and interdisciplinary projects across the humanities and social sciences. This original study is the first to take a thematic approach to Butler as a political thinker. Starting with an explanation of her terms of analysis, Judith Butler and Political Theory develops Butler’s theory of the political through an exploration of her politics of troubling given categories and approaches. By developing concepts such as normative violence and subversion and by elaborating her critique of heteronormativity, this book moves deftly between Butler’s earliest and most famous writings on gender and her more recent interventions in post-9/11 politics.

Series: New International Relations

Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Philosophy In this major reinterpretation and contemporary defence of Mill’s political philosophy, Jonathan Riley offers a new reading of Mill’s radical doctrine that is quite distinct from the prevalent and vague understanding of the term ’liberalism’. Based on the argument of On Liberty, the book begins by indicating the current debates about Mill’s liberalism, followed by a summary of the argument, and an exploration of the alternative forms of liberalism that have since emerged such as the doctrines of Green, Bosanquet and Berlin. Riley then provides a full reinterpretation of Mill’s doctrine covering issues of social custom and behaviour, and recent claims about Millian application on cases of pornography and prostitution. This fascinating investigation of one of the most controversial doctrines in philosophy is essential reading for students of Mill and political philosophy, and for those interested in the concept of liberty and its application.

This book, along with its companion volume, Judith Butler’s Precarious Politics, marks an intellectual event for political theory, with major implications for feminism, women’s studies, gender studies, cultural studies, lesbian and gay studies, queer theory and anyone with a critical interest in contemporary American ‘great power’ politics. Selected Contents: Introduction. Part 1: Terms of Political Analysis 1. Power/Sex/Gender 2. Performativity/Citationality 3. The Body Part 2: Theories of the Political 4. Normative Violence 5.

Over the past two decades, philosophical considerations have become more prominent in mainstream discussions in the field of international relations. There has been a wave of discussions about how we go about producing knowledge of global politics, paying close attention to recent developments in the philosophy of science. All of this philosophical controversy can pose a fairly serious problem for many IR scholars, who have not been trained on how to engage in these discussions. Presuming little or no philosophical background, this book is specifically written for politics and international relations scholars. It both informs scholars about the variety of philosophical positions available and establishes the importance to ordinary IR scholarship of taking such position more or less explicitly. • part one informs IR scholars of the ’lay of the land’ of contemporary philosophy of science, addressing such issues as the fate of logical positivism and the place of pragmatism vis-à-vis realism • part two demonstrates and explains how central philosophical considerations are to the practice of IR scholarship and illustrates how philosophical considerations shape and give rise to methodological considerations. Demonstrating how issues relating to the status and character of knowledge of global politics cannot help but be extremely relevant to the practice of IR scholarship, this text will be a vital tool in the advanced study of IR and global politics.

Democratic Legitimacy Aggregation versus Deliberation Fabienne Peter, University of Basel, Switzerland Series: Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought Legitimacy is a concept which is at the core of normative theories of democracy.

The author argues for a novel conception of legitimacy that takes the epistemic dimension of public deliberation seriously and defines the concept entirely in terms of the fairness of procedures.

German Political Philosophy The Metaphysics of Law Chris Thornhill, University of Glasgow, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought This book combines philosophical, intellectualhistorical and political-theoretical methodologies to provide a new synoptic reading of the history of German political philosophy. Incorporating chapters on the political ideas of Luther and Zwingli, on the politics of the early Enlightenment, on Idealism, on Historicism and Lukács, on early twentieth century political theology, on the Frankfurt School, and on Habermas and Luhmann, the book sets out both a broad and a detailed discussion of German political reflection from the Reformation to the present. In doing so, it explains how the development of German political philosophy is marked by a continual concern with certain unresolved and recurrent problems. It claims that all the major positions address questions relating to the origin of law, that all seek to account for the relation between legal validity and metaphysical and theological superstructures, and that all are centred on the attempt to conceptualise and reconstruct the character of the legal subject. Selected Contents: Introduction 1. The Reformation 2. The Early Enlightenment 3. German Idealism 4. Historicism and Romanticism 5. The Young Hegelians and Karl Marx 6. Positivism and Organic Theory 7. The Vitalist Interlude 8. Neo-Kantianism 9. The Weimar Republic 10. Critical Theory and the Law 11. The Dialectics of Refoundation 12. Habermas and Luhmann. Conclusion

Nathan Ross, DePaul University, USA Series: Studies in Philosophy On Mechanism in Hegel’s Social and Political Philosophy examines the role of the concept of mechanism in Hegel’s thinking about political and social institutions. It counters as overly simplistic the notion that Hegel has an ‘organic concept of society’ and examines the thought of Hegel’s peers and predecessors who critique modern political intuitions as ‘machine-like’, focusing on J.G. Herder, Friedrich Schlegel and Novalis. From here it examines the early writings of Hegel, in which Hegel makes a break with the Romantic way of thinking about ethical community. Ross argues that in this period, Hegel devises a new way of thinking about the integration of mechanistic and organic features within an organizational whole. This allows Hegel to offer an innovative theory of modern civil society as a component in ethical life. The second half of the book examines how Hegel develops this thought in his later works. It offers an in depth commentary on the chapter on mechanism in the Science of Logic, and it demonstrates the role of these thoughts in Hegel’s Philosophy of Right. On Mechanism in Hegel’s Social and Political Philosophy offers a critical response to debates over communitarianism by arguing against one of the central figures used by scholars to associate Hegel with communitarian thought, namely the notion that society is organic. In addition, it argues that Hegel political theory is deeply informed by his formal ontology, as developed in the Science of Logic.

Discourse, Desire, and Fantasy in Jurgen Habermas’ Critical Theory Kenneth MacKendrick, University of Manitoba, Canada This book argues that Jürgen Habermas’ critical theory can be productively developed by incorporating a wider understanding of fantasy and imagination as part of its conception of communicative rationality and communicative pathologies. Given that meaning is generated both linguistically and performatively, MacKendrick argues that desire and fantasy must be taken into consideration as constitutive aspects of intersubjective relations. His aim is to show that Habermasian social theory might plausibly renew its increasingly severed ties with the early critical theory of the Frankfurt School by taking account of these features of practice life, thus simultaneously rekindling the relevance of the nearly forgotten emancipatory intent in his earlier work and rejuvenating an emphasis on the contemporary critique of reason. This innovative study will be of interest to those focusing on the early writings of Habermas, the writings of the Frankfurt School, and the relation between critical theory, hermeneutics, and psychoanalysis. 2007: 234x156 Hb: 978-0-415-95617-8: US $95.00

This book draws on his numerous influential books and articles to provide a coherent and comprehensive overview of his significant contribution to the field of political theory. The book focuses in particular on three key areas of his thinking: • democracy: his work in democratic theory – through his critical challenges to the traditions of Rawlsian theories of justice and Habermasian theories of deliberative democracy – has spurred the creation of a fertile and powerful new literature • pluralism: Connolly’s work utterly transformed the terrain of the field by helping to resignify pluralism: from a conservative theory of order based on the status quo into a radical theory of democratic contestation based on a progressive political vision • the terms of political theory: Connolly has changed the language in which Anglo-American political theory is spoken, and entirely shuffled the pack with which political theorists work.

’Not only philosophers of all stripes, but also religious persons, scholars of religion and comparativists turn to the philosophy of religion as a crucial resource. Much work in the field has been rendered unhelpful by its narrow or exclusively Western focus. Here, finally, is a volume to fill the gap. With its comprehensive span of topics and chapters written by leading authorities, this will be a defining text for the emerging global approach to the philosophy of religion ... The most up-to-date and authoritative introduction to the immediate past and the immediate future of the discipline currently available.’ – Philip Clayton, Harvard University, USA ’This is an absolutely superb volume. The range of topics is remarkably wide, covering Eastern and Western religions, traditional arguments, orthodox doctrines, and also recent developments in the understanding of religious discourse. The editors have put together an ideal line-up of distinguished contributors, and the essays provide balanced overviews, whilst giving sufficient attention to detail to lead the reader into the problems and issues that make this such a fascinating and varied area of philosophy. Quite simply, this is a vital resource, as well as an immensely attractive one.’ – Robin Le Poidevin, University of Leeds, UK ‘This book is distinguished by its comprehensive range and by the eminent list of philosophers who have written for it. It will be an indispensable guide to current thinking in the philosophy of religion.’ – Keith Ward, Christ Church College, Oxford, UK ’This is the best companion to philosophy of religion currently available. It provides expertly guided entry to recent work on a huge range of topics, and will be immensely useful to all students who are prepared to think about what they are reading.’ – Graham Oppy, Monash University, Australia The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Religion is an indispensable guide and reference source to the major themes, movements, debates and topics in philosophy of religion. A team of renowned international contributors provide sixty-five accessible entries organized into nine clear parts: philosophical issues in world religions; key figures in philosophy of religion; religious diversity; the theistic conception of God; arguments for the existence of God; arguments against the existence of God; philosophical theology; Christian theism; and recent topics in philosophy of religion. Covering key world religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, and key figures such as Augustine, Aquinas and Kierkegaard, the book explores the central topics in theism such as the ontological, cosmological and teleological arguments for God’s existence. Three final parts consider Catholicism, Protestantism, Eastern orthodoxy and current debates including phenomenology, reformed epistemology, religious experience, and religion and science. This is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, religion and related disciplines. Selected Contents: Acknowledgements. Notes on Contributors. Introduction.

John P. Dourley, Carleton University, Canada Is religion a positive reality in your life? If not, have you lost anything by forfeiting this dimension of your humanity? This book compares the theology of Tillich with the psychology of Jung, arguing that they were both concerned with the recovery of a valid religious sense for contemporary culture. Paul Tillich, Carl Jung and the Recovery of Religion explores in detail the diminution of the human spirit through the loss of its contact with its native religious depths, a problem on which both spent much of their working lives and energies. Both Tillich and Jung work with a naturalism that grounds all religion on processes native to the human being. Tillich does this in his efforts to recover that point at which divinity and humanity coincide and from which they differentiate. Jung does this by identifying the archetypal unconscious as the source of all religions now working toward a religious sentiment of more universal sympathy. This book identifies the dependence of both on German mysticism as a common ancestry and concludes with a reflection on how their joint perspective might affect religious education and the relation of religion to science and technology. Throughout the book, John P. Dourley looks back to the roots of both men’s ideas about medieval theology and Christian mysticism making it ideal reading for analysts and academics in the fields of Jungian and religious studies.

In Consciousness and the Existence of God, J.P Moreland argues that the existence of finite, irreducible consciousness (or its regular, law-like correlation with physical states) provides evidence for the existence of God. Considering Searle’s contingent correlation, O’Connor’s emergent necessitation, and Nagel’s mysterian ’naturalism’, Moreland concludes that these versions of naturalism should be rejected in favor of what he calls ’the Argument from Consciousness.’ March 2008: 234x156: 256pp Hb: 978-0-415-96240-7: US $95.00 eBook: 978-0-203-92933-9

The Thin Red Line is the third film from acclaimed director Terrence Malick, set during the struggle between American and Japanese forces for Guadalcanal in the South Pacific in World War Two. It is a powerful, enigmatic and complex film that raises important philosophical questions, ranging from the existential and phenomenological to the artistic and technical. The first book to explore Malick’s film, it examines the following topics: • the role of truth, immortality and ‘calm’ in the Thin Red Line • the central place of Heidegger’s thought in Malick’s work, such as authenticity and being towards-death • metaphysics and the concept of rationality and community • Malick’s use of style and emotion to contrast the ‘natural’ world with the ‘human’ world • the centrality of the themes of vision and touch in The Thin Red Line. Including annotated sections of further reading at the end of each chapter and a biography of Terrence Malick, The Thin Red Line is essential reading for students interested in philosophy and film or phenomenology and existentialism. Selected Contents: Introduction David Davies 1. Calm – On Terrence Malick’s The Thin Red Line Simon Critchley 2. Heidegger on Authenticity and The Thin Red Line Hubert Dreyfus and Camillo Prince 3.

On Criticism

On Film

Noël Carroll, Temple University, USA

Stephen Mulhall, New College, Oxford, UK ‘Always engaging, often provocative, and occasionally brilliant ... Mulhall’s metaphysical contentions will be referenced, quoted, and engaged with by other authors in subsequent work on science fiction cinema.’ – Steven Jay Schneider, Aesthetics Online ‘The themes he identifies as central ... are explored convincingly, even brilliantly at times ... The clarity and precision of the writing make it something of a page- turner’ – Deborah Thomas, European Journal of Communication ‘Mulhall’s philosophical discussion of each film is highly stimulating ... [A] provocative and engaging book which makes for stimulating reading for anyone interested in both film and philosophy.’ – Matthew Kieran, Philosophical Books In this significantly expanded new edition of his acclaimed exploration of the four Alien movies, Stephen Mulhall adds several new chapters on Steven Spielberg’s Mission: Impossible trilogy and Minority Report. The first part of the book discusses the four Alien movies. Mulhall argues that the sexual significance of the aliens themselves, and of Ripley’s resistance to them, takes us deep into the question of what it is to be human. At the heart of the book is a highly original and controversial argument that films themselves can philosophize. Mulhall then applies his interpretative model to another sequence of contemporary Hollywood movies: the Mission: Impossible series.

On Waiting Harold Schweizer, Bucknell University, USA What is the relationship between waiting and time? Is there an ethics of waiting, or even an art of waiting? Do the internet, online shopping and text messaging mean that waiting has come to an end? On Waiting explores such and similar questions in compelling fashion.

Carroll argues for a humanistic conception of criticism which focuses on what the artist has achieved by creating or performing the work. Whilst a good critic should not neglect to contextualize and offer interpretations of a work of art, he argues that too much recent criticism has ignored the fundamental role of the artist’s intentions. Including examples from visual, performance and literary arts, and the work of contemporary critics, Carroll provides a charming, erudite and persuasive argument that appraisal and evaluation of art are an indispensable part of the conversation of life.

On Architecture

NEW

Fred Rush, Notre Dame University, USA

On Landscapes Susan Herrington, University of British Columbia, Canada There is no escaping landscape: it’s everywhere and part of everyone’s life. Landscapes have received much less attention in aesthetics than those arts we can choose to ignore, such as painting or music – but they can tell us a lot about the ethical and aesthetic values of the societies that produce them.

A brand new chapter is devoted to each of the three films in the series, and to other films by the relevant directors that cast light on their individual contribution to it. In this discussion, the nature of television becomes as central a concern as the nature of cinema; and the shift in generic focus from science fiction to thriller also makes room for a detailed reading of Spielberg’s Minority Report.

In a recent poll of practicing art critics, seventy-five percent reported that rendering judgments on artworks was the least significant aspect of their job. This is a troubling statistic for philosopher and critic Noël Carroll, who argues that that the proper task of the critic is not simply to describe, or to uncover hidden meanings or agendas, but ultimately to determine what is of value in art.

Drawing examples from a wide range of landscapes from around the world and throughout history, Susan Herrington considers the ways landscapes can affect our emotions, our imaginations, and our understanding of the passage of time. On Landscapes reveals the design work involved in even the most naturalistic of landscapes, and the ways in which contemporary landscapes are turning the challenges of the industrial past into opportunities for the future. Inviting us to thoughtfully see and experience the landscapes that we encounter in our daily lives, On Landscapes demonstrates that art is all around us. Selected Contents: Introduction. Who Designs Landscapes? What Can Landscapes Represent? Are Landscapes Natural? Memory and Emotion. Instrumental Imagination. Aesthetic Experience

Architecture is a philosophical puzzle. Although we spend most of our time in buildings, we rarely reflect on what they mean or how we experience them. With some notable exceptions, they have generally struggled to be taken seriously as works of art compared to painting or music and have been rather overlooked by philosophers. In On Architecture, Fred Rush argues this is a consequence of neglecting the role of the body in architecture. Our encounter with a building is first and foremost a bodily one; buildings are lived-in, communal spaces and their construction reveals a lot about our relation to the environment as a whole. Drawing on examples from architects classic and contemporary such as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, and exploring the significance of buildings in relation to film and music and philosophers such as Heidegger and MerleauPonty, Fred Rush argues that philosophical reflection on building can tell us something important about the human condition.

The Routledge Companion to Aesthetics

Film as Philosophy

Aesthetics Naturalized

Thomas E. Wartenberg, Mount Holyoke College, USA

Jennifer A. McMahon, University of Adelaide, Australia

Thinking on Screen: Film as Philosophy is an accessible and thought-provoking examination of the way films raise and explore complex philosophical ideas. Written in a clear and engaging style, Thomas E. Wartenberg examines films’ ability to discuss, and even criticize ideas that have intrigued and puzzled philosophers over the centuries such as the nature of personhood, the basis of morality, and epistemological skepticism.

Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy

Beginning with a demonstration of how specific forms of philosophical discourse are presented cinematically, Wartenberg moves on to offer a systematic account of the ways in which specific films undertake the task of philosophy. Focusing on the films The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Modern Times, The Matrix, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Third Man, The Flicker, and Empire, Wartenberg shows how these films express meaningful and pertinent philosophical ideas.

Who’s Afraid of Conceptual Art? Peter Goldie, Manchester University, UK and Elizabeth Schellenkens, King’s College, University of London, UK Who’s Afraid of Conceptual Art? is a much-needed philosophical inquiry into this question and others. Peter Goldie and Elizabeth Schellenkens first address, and try to clear up, much of the puzzlement, frustration, irritation and resentment felt about conceptual art. They go on to use conceptual art to bring to life and to reformulate some of the main issues and theories in contemporary philosophical aesthetics. These problems include the way conceptual art challenges definitions of art; why it displaces epistemological and cognitive approaches to art, making it difficult to say what we can know about art, if anything; and why it raises such thorny problems about artistic appreciation and interpretation.

This book is essential reading for students of philosophy with an interest in film, aesthetics, and film theory. It will also be of interest to film enthusiasts intrigued by the philosophical implications of film. 2007: 234x156: 176pp Hb: 978-0-415-77430-7: US $120.00 Pb: 978-0-415-77431-4: US $29.95

Aesthetic Experience

Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy In this volume, a team of internationally respected contributors theorize the concept of aesthetic experience and its value. Exposing and expanding our restricted cultural and intellectual presuppositions of what constitutes aesthetic experience, the book aims to re-explore and affirm the place of aesthetic experience – in its evaluative, phenomenological and transformational sense – not only in relation to art and artists but to our inner and spiritual lives. 2007: 234x156: 208pp Hb: 978-0-415-37832-1: US $100.00

The book includes several illustrations of the work of celebrated conceptual artists to bring these issues and theories to life: Sol le Witt, Joseph Beuys, Joseph Kosuth, Bruce Nauman Gilbert and George, Michael Craig Martin, and Jeremy Deller. Who’s Afraid of Conceptual Art? is essential reading for students of philosophy, art and visual studies and anyone intrigued but perplexed by art in general. Selected Contents: Introduction 1.

A Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful Edmund Burke Edited with an introduction and notes by James T. Boulton

Arguing About Art Contemporary Philosophical Debates Edited by Alex Neill and Aaron Ridley, both at University of Southampton, UK Series: Arguing About Philosophy ’A most valuable supplement to any philosophical aesthetics course.’ – The Times Higher Education Supplement

Series: Routledge Classics ’One of the greatest essays ever written on art.’ – The Guardian Whilst many writers have taken up their pen to write of ‘the beautiful’, Burke’s subject here was that quality he uniquely distinguished as ‘the sublime’ – an all-consuming force beyond beauty that compelled terror as much as rapture in all who beheld it. It was an analysis that would go on to inspire some of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment, including Immanuel Kant and Denis Diderot.

Reading Merleau-Ponty

On Heidegger’s Being and Time

On Phenomenology of Perception

Derrida’s Legacies

Simon Critchley and Reiner Schürmann

Edited by Thomas Baldwin, University of York, UK

Literature and Philosophy

Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception is widely acknowledged to be one of the most important contributions to philosophy of the twentieth century. In this volume, leading philosophers from Europe and North America examine the nature and extent of Merleau-Ponty’s achievement and consider its importance to contemporary

Edited by Steven Levine, University of Arkansas, USA On Heidegger’s Being and Time is an outstanding exploration of Heidegger’s most important work by two major philosophers. Simon Critchley argues that we must see Being and Time as a radicalization of Husserl’s phenomenology, particularly his theories of intentionality, categorial intuition, and the phenomenological concept of the a priori. This leads to a reappraisal and defense of Heidegger’s conception of phenomenology. In contrast, Reiner Schürmann urges us to read Heidegger ’backward’, arguing that his later work is the key to unravelling Being and Time. Through a close reading of Being and Time Schürmann demonstrates that this work is ultimately aporetic because the notion of Being elaborated in his later work is already at play within it. This is the first time that Schürmann’s renowned lectures on Heidegger have been published. The book concludes with Critchley’s reinterpretation of the importance of authenticity in Being and Time. Arguing for what he calls an ’originary inauthenticity’, Critchley proposes a relational understanding of the key concepts of the second part of Being and Time: death, conscience and temporality.

The chapters, most of which were specially commissioned for this volume, cover the central aspects of Merleau-Ponty’s influential work.

The World of Perception Series: Routledge Classics

The Existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre Jonathan Webber, University of Sheffield, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth Century Philosophy Recent developments in ethical discourse have brought the issue of the nature and development of character traits to the forefront of philosophical debate once again. This discussion tends to revolve around theories derived from Aristotle’s account of character, and overlooks Sartre’s existentialist alternative entirely. This accessible book presents an existentialist alternative to the currently dominant Aristotelian view of character. It will be of interest, therefore, to academics and graduate students concerned with virtue ethics and the theory of character as much as to those concerned with Sartre and existentialism in general. The book should set both the agenda and the standard for future discussions of Sartre’s work within philosophical discourse. August 2008: 234x156: 304pp Hb: 978-0-415-41118-9: US $120.00

This volume brings together some of the most well-known and highly respected commentators on the work of Jacques Derrida from Britain and America in a series of essays written to commemorate the life and come to terms with the death of one of the most important intellectual presences of our time.

Maurice Merleau-Ponty

NEW

Edited by Simon Glendinning, London School of Economics, UK and Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

’In simple prose Merleau-Ponty touches on his principle themes. He speaks about the body and the world, the coexistence of space and things, the unfortunate optimism of science – and also the insidious stickiness of honey, and the mystery of anger.’ – James Elkins

Derrida’s thought reached into nearly every corner of contemporary intellectual culture and the difference he has made is incalculable. He was indeed controversial but the astonishing originality of his work, always marked by the care, precision and respect with which he read the work of others, leaves us with a philosophical, ethical and political legacy that will be both lasting and decisive. The sometimes personal, always insightful essays reflect on the multiple ways in which Derrida’s work has marked intellectual culture in general and the literary and philosophical culture of Britain and America in particular. The outstanding contributors offer an interdisciplinary view, investigating areas such as deconstruction, ethics, time, irony, technology, location and truth. This book provides a rich and faithful context for thinking about the significance of Derrida’s own work as an event that arrived and perhaps still remains to arrive in our time. Selected Contents: Preface Simon Glendinning 1. Derrida: The Reader Simon Critchley 2. Derrida’s Singularity: Literature and Ethics Derek Attridge 3. In the Event Geoffrey Bennington 4.

Central to Merleau-Ponty’s thought was the idea that human understanding comes from our bodily experience of the world that we perceive: a deceptively simple argument, perhaps, but one that he felt had to be made in the wake of attacks from contemporary science and the philosophy of Descartes on the reliability of human perception. This is a dazzling and accessible guide to a whole universe of experience – from the pursuit of scientific knowledge, through the psychic life of animals to the glories of the art of Paul Cézanne – by of the most important and influential thinkers of the post-war era.

PHENOMENOLOGY AND CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY

In the Name of Phenomenology

German Idealism

NEW

Simon Glendinning, London School of Economics, UK

Contemporary Perspectives

Emmanuel Levinas

Edited by Espen Hammer, University of Essex, UK

Seán Hand, University of Warwick, UK

The attempt to pursue philosophy in the name of phenomenology is one of the most significant and important developments in twentieth century thought. In this bold and innovative book, Simon Glendinning introduces some of its major figures, and demonstrates that its ongoing strength and coherence is to be explained less by what Maurice Merleau-Ponty called the ’unity’ of its ’manner of thinking’ and more by what he called its ’unfinished nature’.

This outstanding collection of specially commissioned chapters examines German idealism from several angles and assesses the renewed interest in the subject from a wide range of fields. Including discussions of the key representatives of German idealism such as Kant, Fichte and Hegel, it is structured in clear sections dealing with: • metaphysics

Series: Routledge Critical Thinkers Best known for his theories of ethics and responsibility, Emmanuel Levinas was one of the most profound and influential thinkers of the last century. In this clear, accessible guide, Seán Hand examines why Levinas is increasingly fundamental to the study of literature and culture today. Exploring the intellectual and social contexts of his work and the events that shaped it, Hand considers: • the influence of phenomenology and Judaism on Levinas’ thought

• the legacy of Hegel’s philosophy

• key concepts such as the ‘face’, the ‘other’, ethical consciousness and responsibility

Beginning with a discussion of the nature of phenomenology, Glendinning explores the changing landscape of phenomenology in key texts by Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas and Derrida. Focusing on the different ways in which each philosopher has responded to and transformed the legacy of phenomenology, Glendinning shows that the richness of this legacy lies not in the formation of a distinctive movement or school but in a remarkable capacity to make fertile philosophical breakthroughs. Important topics such as the nature of phenomenological arguments, the critique of realism and idealism, ontology, existentialism, perception, ethics and the other are also closely examined. Through a re-evaluation of the development of phenomenology Glendinning traces the ruptures and dislocations of philosophy that, in an age dominated by science, strive constantly to renew our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.

• Brandom and Hegel

• Levinas’ work on aesthetics

• autonomy and nature • the philosophy of German romanticism. Amongst other important topics, German Idealism: Contemporary Perspectives addresses the debates surrounding the metaphysical and epistemological legacy of German idealism; its importance for understanding recent debates in moral and political thought; its appropriation in recent theories of language and the relationship between mind and world; and how German idealism affected subsequent movements such as romanticism, pragmatism, and critical theory.

• the interaction of his work with historical discussions • his often complex relationships with other theorists and theories. Emmanuel Levinas’ unique contribution to theory set an exemplary standard for all subsequent thought. This outstanding guide to his work will prove invaluable to scholars and students across a wide range of disciplines – from philosophy and literary criticism through to international relations and the creative arts.

Metaphor and Continental Philosophy From Kant to Derrida Clive Cazeaux, University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth Century Philosophy Over the last few decades there has been a phenomenal growth of interest in metaphor as a device which extends or revises our perception of the world. Clive Cazeaux examines the relationship between metaphor, art and science, against the backdrop of modern European philosophy and, in particular, the work of Kant, Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. He contextualizes recent theories of the cognitive potential of metaphor within modern European philosophy and explores the impact which the notion of cognitive metaphor has on key positions and concepts within aesthetics, epistemology and the philosophy of science. 2007: 234x156: 240pp Hb: 978-0-415-32400-7: US $110.00 eBook: 978-0-203-32683-1

Heidegger on East-West Dialogue

Kant, Foucault, and Forms of Experience

Jean-Paul Sartre

Anticipating the Event

Christine Daigle, Brock University, Canada

Lin Ma, K.U. Leuven Center, Belgium

Marc Djallabah, Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada

Series: Routledge Critical Thinkers

This book traces a most obscure and yet most intriguing theme concealed in Heidegger’s thinking and work, which has hitherto not yet been made the focus of a thorough and sustained investigation: that is, the emergence and course of Heidegger’s interest in East Asian thought and of his reflection on East-West dialogue. Lin Ma covers such complex issues as Heidegger’s thoughts on language, Being, technology, the other beginning, and the journey abroad, with a view to their implications for EastWest dialogue. It reveals the significance of his remarks on the early Greek’s confrontation with the Asiatic, and presents contextualized interpretations of his fleeting references to the topic of East-West dialogue and of his encounter with the Daodejing. Finally, it delves into ’A dialogue on language’ and exposes the strains and tensions that accompany Heidegger’s extension of dialogue and the Same, the two notions central to his thought, to the question of East-West dialogue. In the end, Lin Ma concludes that Heidegger’s fundamental concerns and philosophical orientations as articulated in terms of the history of Being and the other beginning have restricted him from engaging more seriously with the irresolvable and yet enduring issue of East-West dialogue.

Series: Studies in Philosophy This study presents the theoretical apparatus of Foucault’s early historical analyses as a version of Kantian criticism. In an initial textual exposition, the author attempts to distill a unified discursive practice from Kant’s theoretical writings, arguing for Foucault’s proximity to Kant on the basis of this reconstruction, by showing that his studies are modeled on this way of thinking. By recasting it in this framework, an unorthodox version of Foucault’s work is generated, one that is at odds with the tendency to emphasize a certain skepticism about the possibility of universal and necessary knowledge in his writings, and to mistake it for irrationalism and a hostility to the practice of theory. By drawing attention to the structural parallel between Foucault’s practice and Kantian criticism, this study belies this picture.

As the founding figure of the movement known as ‘existentialism’, Jean-Paul Sartre was a key figure in twentieth century literature and philosophy, whose writings changed the course of critical thought. Christine Daigle sets Sartre’s thought in context, and considers a number of key ideas in detail, charting their impact and continuing influence, including: • consciousness and being • freedom • interpersonal relationships • the human condition • committed literature • politics. Introducing both literary and philosophical texts by Sartre, this volume makes Sartre’s ideas newly accessible to students of literary and cultural studies as well as to students of continental philosophy and French.

Derrida on Time Joanna Hodge, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK This is a comprehensive investigation into the theme of time in the work of Jacques Derrida and shows how temporality is one of the hallmarks of his thought. Drawing on a wide array of Derrida’s texts, Joanna Hodge: • compares and contrasts Derrida’s arguments concerning time with those Kant, Husserl, Augustine, Heidegger, Levinas, Freud, and Blanchot • argues that Derrida’s radical understanding of time as non-linear or irregular is essential to his aim of blurring the distinction between past and present, biography and literature, philosophical and religious meditation, and the nature of the self • explores the themes of death, touch and transcendence to argue that if considered under the theme of temporality there is more continuity to Derrida’s thought than previously considered.

Hannah Arendt and the Challenge of Modernity A Phenomenology of Human Rights Serena Parekh, University of Connecticut, USA Hannah Arendt and the Challenge of Modernity explores the theme of human rights in the work of Hannah Arendt. Parekh argues that Arendt’s contribution to this debate has been largely ignored because she does not speak in the same terms as contemporary theoreticians of human rights. Beginning by examining Arendt’s critique of human rights, and the concept of ’a right to have rights’ with which she contrasts the traditional understanding of human rights, Parekh goes on to analyze some of the tensions and paradoxes within the modern conception of human rights that Arendt brings to light, arguing that Arendt’s perspective must be understood as phenomenological and grounded in a notion of intersubjectivity that she develops in her readings of Kant and Socrates.

Thinkers for Architexts Series

Husserl’s Constitutive Phenomenology Its Problem and Promise

Deleuze & Guattari for Architects

Bob Sandmeyer, University of Kentucky, USA

Andrew Ballantyne, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

Series: Studies in Philosophy

The work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari has been inspirational for architects and architectural theorists in recent years. It has influenced the design work of architects as diverse as Greg Lynn and David Chipperfield, and is regularly cited by avant-gardist architects and by students, but usually without being well understood.

If Edmund Husserl’s true philosophy lay in his unpublished research manuscripts, as he argues, then it is in these – rather than the ’introductions’ and fragmentary studies he published during his lifetime – that we may possibly find a systematic of his philosophy. This work constitutes a study of the full range of Husserl’s writings with the special task of uncovering there the systematic presentation or presentations of the transcendental phenomenological problematic.

Volition, Rhetoric, and Emotion in the Work of Pascal Thomas Parker, Vassar College, USA Series: Studies in Philosophy This study identifies and analyzes a compelling theory and practice of persuasion that integrates the complexity of human desire. It demonstrates how the philosophical component in Pascal’s description of the will makes a seamless integration into a vehicle of persuasion and poetics, providing a privileged viewpoint for understanding the author’s complete works, arguing that the notion of will is of fundamental importance in Pascal’s anthropology as well as in his rhetoric. This avenue of interpretation is both fruitful and difficult, because the word ’volonte’ means very different things in Pascal and in modern French. Beginning by contextualizing the notion of ’volonte’ and explaining its expanded use in the seventeenth-century lexicon, the author then endeavors to show that Pascal borrows an essentially Augustinian paradigm of desire to create a depiction of the will divided against itself, surreptitiously yearning for what its bearer does not want. 2007: 234x156: 242pp Hb: 978-0-415-95550-8: US $95.00 eBook: 978-0-203-92674-1

The first collaboration between Deleuze and Guattari was Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, which was taken up as a manifesto for the post-structuralist life, and was associated with the spirit of the student revolts of 1968. Their ideas promote creativity and innovation, and their work is wide-ranging, complex and endlessly stimulating. They range across politics, psychoanalysis, physics, art and literature, changing preconceptions along the way. Selected Contents: 1. Who? 2. Machines 3. House 4. Facade and Landscape 5. City 6.

Heidegger for Architects Adam Sharr, Cardiff University, UK Informing the designs of architects as diverse as Peter Zumthor, Steven Holl, Hans Scharoun and Colin St. John Wilson, the work of Martin Heidegger has proved of great interest to architects and architectural theorists.

Irigaray for Architects Peg Rawes, University College of London, UK Specifically for architects, the third title in the Thinkers for Architects series examines the relevance of Luce Irigaray’s work for architecture. Eight thematic chapters explore the bodily, spatio-temporal, political and cultural value of her ideas for making, discussing and experiencing architecture. In particular, each chapter makes accessible Irigaray’s ideas about feminine and masculine spaces with reference to her key texts. Irigaray’s theory of ‘sexed subjects’ is explained in order to show how sexuality informs the different ways in which men and women construct and inhabit architecture. In addition, her ideas about architectural forms of organization between people, exterior and interior spaces, touch and vision, philosophy and psychoanalysis are explored. The book also suggests ways in which these strategies can enable architectural designers and theorists to create ethical architectures for the user and his or her physical and psychological needs. Concisely written, this book introduces Irigaray’s work to practitioners, academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students in architectural design and architectural history and theory, helping them to understand the value of cross- and inter-disciplinary modes of architectural practice. Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Contexts 3. Doubles and Multiples 4. Passages and Flows 5. Diagonals, Horizontals and Asymmetry 6. Touching, Sensing 7. Bridges, Envelopes and Horizons 8.

PHILOSOPHY AND GENDER

The Sublime, Terror and Human Difference

Je, Tu, Nous

Christine Battersby, University of Warwick, UK

Luce Irigaray, Centre National de Recherche Scientifique, Paris

Christine Battersby is a leading thinker in the field of philosophy, gender studies and visual and literary aesthetics. In this important new work, she undertakes an exploration of the nature of the sublime, one of the most important topics in contemporary debates about modernity, politics and art. Through a compelling examination of terror, transcendence and the ‘other’ in key European philosophers and writers, Battersby articulates a radical ‘female sublime’. A central feature of The Sublime, Terror and Human Difference is its engagement with recent debates around ‘9/11’, race and Islam. Battersby shows how, since the eighteenth century, the pleasures of the sublime have been described in terms of the transcendence of terror. Linked to the ‘feminine’, the sublime was closed off to flesh-and-blood women, to ‘Orientals’ and to other supposedly ‘inferior’ human types. Engaging with Kant, Burke, the German Romantics, Nietzsche, Derrida, Lyotard, Irigaray and Arendt, as well as with women writers and artists, Battersby traces the history of these exclusions, while finding resources within the history of western culture for thinking human differences afresh
