Taylor & Francis Nature and Naturalism in Classical German
Book SynopsisThis book offers the first comprehensive exploration of the relevance of naturalism and theories of nature in Classical German Philosophy. It presents new readings from internationally renowned scholars on Kant, Jacobi, Goethe, the Romantic tradition, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, and Marx that highlight the significance of conceptions of nature and naturalism in Classical German Philosophy for contemporary concerns.The collection presents an inclusive view: it goes beyond the usual restricted focus on single thinkers to encompass the tradition as a whole, prompting dialogue among scholars interested in different authors and areas. It thus illuminates the post-Kantian tradition in a new, wider sense. The chapters also mobilize a productive perspective at the intersection of philosophy and history by combining careful textual and historical analysis with argument-based philosophizing. Overall, the book challenges the stereotypical view that Classical German Philosophy offers at beTrade Review"This collection of essays, written by renowned experts, is the most comprehensive analysis to date of the role that nature (and naturalism) played in Classical German Philosophy. Its greatest achievement, however, is that along the way it completely explodes the antiquated, and ultimately incorrect, notion that the classical German tradition of philosophy, before all else, is an obsession with idealism." – Tyler Tritten, Gonzaga University, USATable of ContentsNature and Naturalism: The Relevance of Classical German Philosophy, Luca Corti and Johannes-Georg Schülein1.

Taylor & Francis The Babylonian Astronomical Compendium MUL.APIN
Book SynopsisMUL.APIN, written sometime before the 8th century BC, was the most widely copied astronomical text in ancient Mesopotamia: a compendium including information such as star lists, descriptions of planetary phases, mathematical schemes for the length of day and night, a discussion of the luni-solar calendar and rules for intercalation, and a short collection of celestial omens. This book contains an introductory essay, followed by a new edition of the text and a facing-page transliteration and English translation. Finally, the book contains a new and detailed commentary on the text. This is a fascinating study, and an important resource for anyone interested in the history of astronomy. Trade Review"MUL.APIN is the earliest surviving general work on astronomy in which a wide range of theoretical and practical information relating to the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets is presented. Hermann Hunger and John Steele have done us all an immense service in providing this up-to-date edition and accessible, yet accurate translation of a document of central importance for our understanding of the history of Mesopotamian astronomy, and more broadly of all pre-telescopic astronomy."- Alexander Jones, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, New York University, USATable of ContentsPreface; List of abbreviations; Introduction; Edition; Table of sources; Description of sources; Concordance of museum numbers; Concordance of previously published tablets; Tablet I; Table II; Colophons; Philological Notes; Composite Text and Translation; Commentary; Plates; Bibliography; Indices; Index of words and names; Subject index

Taylor & Francis Extimate Technology
Book SynopsisThis book investigates how we should form ourselves in a world saturated with technologies that are profoundly intruding in the very fabric of our selfhood. New and emerging technologies, such as smart technological environments, imaging technologies and smart drugs, are increasingly shaping who and what we are and influencing who we ought to be. How should we adequately understand, evaluate and appreciate this development? Tackling this question requires going beyond the persistent and stubborn inside-outside dualism and recognizing that what we consider our inside self is to a great extent shaped by our outside world. Inspired by various philosophers â especially Nietzsche, Peirce and Lacan âthis book shows how the values, goals and ideals that humans encounter in their environments not only shape their identities but also enable them to critically relate to their present state. The author argues against understanding technological self-formation in terms of making ourselveTrade Review“Understanding how self-formation works is crucial as we increasingly find ourselves in pervasive and intense technological environments. This book uses insights from Peirce, Nietzsche, Lacan and Freud to argue that the self is not only already unsettled, but becomes even more unsettled when technology, meant to enhance us, becomes an intrinsic part of us. The proposed interactionist perspective on self-formation and the concept of sublimation proposed by Ciano Aydin helps us to think about this problem and opens up new avenues for thinking about how new technologies mess with human existence as we struggle to integrate them into our lives.” – Mark Coeckelbergh, University of Vienna, Austria"This is a fascinating effort to reflect on how modern technologies have honed Nietzsche’s challenge, as he put it at the outset of his Genealogy of Morals: ‘We don't know ourselves, we knowledgeable people—we are personally ignorant about ourselves. And there's good reason for that. We've never tried to find out who we are.’ Ciano Aydin answers with an intriguing Technological Sublimation Theory." – Paul van Tongeren, Radboud University, The Netherlands"This work is a benchmark fusion of the philosophy of self with the philosophy of technology. Ciano Aydin addresses the ever increasing incorporation of new technologies into our way of life and exposes the current drift back toward essentialist and dualist thinking about self. Inspired by Nietzsche and Peirce, Aydin develops a radical interactionist view of the formation of selves, culminating in his Technological Sublimation Theory. Aydin’s application of his theory to examples of the permeation of new technologies throughout modern life lays the groundwork for a new research paradigm. Peirce’s normative thought and his philosophy of mind are treated masterfully throughout and the recognition of the resonance of some streams of Peirce’s thought with Nietzsche’s is long overdue." – Nathan Houser, Indiana University, Indianapolis, USATable of ContentsIntroductionPart I: What Is the Self?1.
