Peter Lang AG The Presocratics in the Thought of Martin
Book SynopsisThe book focuses on Heidegger’s thoughtful repetition of early Greek thinking, and his receptive attention to the fragments of the Presocratics from our contemporary age. Their thought has a special value for him as the heritage which must be repeated anew in order to bring us back to the question of being and to open before us new avenues for existence. The author raises questions which help us to understand Heidegger as a thinker. He presents a deep analysis of Heidegger’s interpretations of the Presocratics and contributes to a new, insightful understanding of Heideggerian philosophy. «The book deserves a wide reception among scholars who are interested in the Presocratics, Heidegger and contemporary philosophy.» Dr. Katherine Morris (University of Oxford) «Prof. Korab-Karpowicz (…) develops a consistent reading of Heidegger’s historical studies, thereby significantly contributing to a new approach for the study of Heideggerian philosophy.» Dr. Michal Bizoń (Jagiellonian University, Kraków)Table of ContentsPhilosophy as Phenomenological Ontology – Heidegger’s Early View of History – Time and History in Being and Time – History as Repetition – World History, Historiography and Historicity – Authentic and Inauthentic Historiography – Philosophy as History – The Place of the Presocratics in Heidegger’s Thought – The Anaximander Fragment – Heidegger’s 1926 Lecture on Anaximander – The Departure of the Destiny of Being – Ἀρχή as Ordering (Verfügung) – Ordering as τὸ Ἄπειρον – The Earliest Name for Being: τὸ Χρεών – Being as Getting-Over Disorder – Τὸ Χρεών and the History of Being – Heraclitus: Physis and the Logos – The Φύσις Fragments (16, 123, 54, 8, 51, 64, 66, 30, 124, 93) – The Λόγος Fragments (50, 45, 72, 43, 108, 78, 41, 115, 112) – Being and Thinking in Parmenides – Ἀλήθεια - the Goddess of the Parmenidean Poem, Fragment 1 – At the Crossroads – Fragments 2 and 6 – Being and Thinking – Fragments 3 and 6 – Moira – Fragments 3 and 8 – The Presocratics and the History of Being – Heidegger’s Attempt to Overcome Metaphysics – From the First Beginning to the New Beginning

The University of Chicago Press Phenomenology and Deconstruction Volume One The
Book SynopsisPhilosophy as . . . a rigorous science . . . the dream is over, Edward Husserl once declared. Heidegger (Husserl's successor), Derrida, and Rorty have propounded versions of the end of philosophy. Cumming argues that what would count as philosophy's coming to an end can only be determined with some attention to disruptions which have previously punctuated the history of philosophy. He arrives at categories for interpreting what is at issue in such disruptions by analyzing Heidegger's and Husserl's break with each other, Heidegger's break with Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty's break with Sartre. In this analysis Cumming deals with how a philosophy can be vulgarized (as Heidegger's was by Nazism but in Heidegger's own view by Sartre), with problems of periodization, with how the history of philosophy can be disinguished as a philosophical discipline from intellectual history. Cumming also elaborates an analogy between a philosophical method and style.

The University of Chicago Press Inventing Philosophys Other
Book SynopsisThe history of phenomenology, and its absence, in American philosophy. Phenomenology and so-called continental philosophy receive scant attention in most American philosophy departments, despite their foundational influence on intellectual movements such as existentialism, post-structuralism, and deconstruction. In Inventing Philosophy's Other, Jonathan Strassfeld explores this absence, revealing how everyday institutional practices played a determinative role in the development of twentieth-century academic discourse. Conventional wisdom holds that phenomenology's absence from the philosophical mainstream in the United States reflects its obscurity or even irrelevance to America's philosophical traditions. Strassfeld refutes this story as he traces phenomenology's reception in America, delivering the first systematic historical study of the movement in the United States. He examines the lives and works of Marjorie Grene, Alfred Schütz, Hubert Dreyfus, and Iris Marion Young, amonTrade Review“Inventing Philosophy’s Other is an ambitious, important, and exceptional . . . first-rate history of American philosophy that reminds us that the ‘best’ ideas don’t simply win out on their merits. Rather, they often come to be labeled as such after their influence is established through the vagaries of institutional contingency. At a time when the line dividing the continental and analytic traditions appears to be wearing thin, we would do well to heed this injunction for historical reflection.” * Los Angeles Review of Books *“Strassfeld is one of the most talented young scholars writing about the history of academic thought. Ambitious and comprehensive, Inventing Philosophy’s Other suggests that the triumph of analytic philosophy in America was neither preordained nor determined strictly on the basis of the quality of thought.” -- Bruce Kuklick, University of Pennsylvania“Strassfeld offers the fullest account yet of phenomenology’s fate in the United States. Revisiting a rich intellectual tradition inspired by the works of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Inventing Philosophy’s Other restores some of the dynamic pluralism of American philosophy, even as it exposes the forces—intellectual as well as institutional—that have railed against it.” -- Martin Woessner, City College of New YorkTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Understanding Phenomenology 2 First Encounters A Marjorie Glicksman Grene 3 Philosophy in Conflict B Alfred Schütz 4 Who Rules Philosophy?

Columbia University Press Alienation
Book SynopsisA bold defense of a neglected concept and its relevance for critical social theory.Trade ReviewThrough a compelling combination of acute analysis and rich phenomenological description, Rahel Jaeggi brings alienation back to the center of political philosophy. She argues alienation concerns a failure to appropriate oneself in the right way, a problem with how one comes to be what one is, rather than an inability to realize some pregiven identity. Jaeggi is not only thoroughly learned in both the continental and analytic traditions. She does what is quite rare: she brings these traditions into a highly productive synthesis. A very impressive achievement. -- Daniel Brudney, University of Chicago With this masterful reconstruction of the concept of alienation, Jaeggi opens fruitful new avenues for critical theory. She also claims her place as a powerful exponent of social philosophy and a thinker of the first rank. Her book is a tour de force of cogent argumentation and rich phenomenological description. -- Nancy Fraser, The New School Alienation, the concept Hegel and Marx made so central to European political and social thought, has receded in importance in recent political philosophy. Like self-deception and weakness of will, it is extremely resistant to analysis even though it continues to be a major theme of modern life and accounts for the features of contemporary life. Jaeggi's great accomplishment is to provide the outlines of a new theory of an old term and thereby show its linkage to major ethical and political concerns. With this book, an entire tradition of political and social philosophy receives a new lease on life. -- Terry Pinkard, Georgetown University Jaeggi's scholarship and writing in this book is excellent, and the resuscitation of the concept of alienation in critical social theory is a welcome event in the literature. -- Matthias Fritsch, Concordia University Alienation is one of the most exciting books to have appeared on the German philosophical scene in the last decade. It not only rejuvenates a lagging discourse on the topic of alienation; it also shows how an account of subjectivity elaborated two centuries ago can be employed in the service of new philosophical insights. -- Frederick Neuhouser, Barnard College This insightful and learned book will appeal to anyone interested in social philosophy. Library Journal Rahel Jaeggi's Alienation is an important contribution to - and rejuvenation of - the philosophical literature on the phenomenon of alienation.

Columbia University Press The Incorporeal
Book SynopsisA new resolution of the mind-body problem that reconciles materialism and idealism.Trade ReviewThe Incorporeal might seem to be a departure for Elizabeth Grosz, whose work has provided one of the most profound and sustained theorizations of matter, embodiment and sexual difference. Rather than a refusal of corporeal feminism, this book is a powerful exploration of corporeality and its possibilities. A remarkable and groundbreaking work, The Incorporeal intensifies Grosz's already complex and nuanced account of bodies and difference: incorporeality is not to be equated with mind, ideality or the disembodied. It is, rather, part of the volatility that Grosz has always discerned in bodies, human and nonhuman. -- Claire Colebrook, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English, Pennsylvania State University In this new book, Elizabeth Grosz continues her investigations of role of the body in thinking in art and science, as in politics and philosophy. Through a fresh engagement with the work of Deleuze and the thinkers he admired, she extracts a vital new ethics, itself part of a philosophy of nature beyond the limits of 'the new materialism'. A stimulating and rigorous journey towards a new philosophy for our times. -- John Rajchman, author of The Deleuze Connections In this rich and deeply rewarding book, Elizabeth Grosz traces the hidden genealogy-centered on but not reducible to Gilles Deleuze-of a philosophy that makes room for both body and mind, without reductionism, but also without mysticism. -- Steven Shaviro, DeRoy Professor of English, Wayne State University Philosophy, and in its wake cultural theory, has long made periodic pendulum swings between two poles, the materialist and the idealist. What is needed is a move through the middle: an incorporeal materialism, or a materialist idealism. This is the important and timely project Elizabeth Grosz undertakes in this book, with the help of judiciously chosen philosophical guides, from the Stoics to Simondon. -- Brian Massumi, University of Montreal This is a bold, brilliant, and fascinating study of an alternative philosophical tradition. The treatments of Simondon and Ruyer are especially welcome, and a new and highly challenging conception of materialism is offered. -- Keith Ansell-Pearson, University of WarwickTable of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Abbreviations Introduction 1.

Synthesizing philosophy, neurobiology, psychology, and history of science, Mind Ecologies offers a broad and deep exploration of evidence for the embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended nature of mind.Trade ReviewMind Ecologies is a valuable and comprehensive contribution that certainly strengthens and amplifies recent efforts to show that pragmatism is an extremely useful asset that can bring different perspectives to contemporary debates on affectivity, embodiment, and the ecological relation between agents and the environment. -- Carlos Vara Sanchez * European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy *Mind Ecologies offers a lively and informative history of Pragmatist thought, revealing how it both anticipated current work in philosophy and the sciences of the mind, and how it can be applied to great effect. Crippen and Schulkin make a convincing case that we are 'living ecologies'—integrated, interdependent systems—not detached, isolated intellects. -- Louise Barrett, author of Beyond the Brain: How Body and Environment Shape Animal and Human MindsMind Ecologies is wide-ranging and timely both as a contribution to today's philosophy of cognitive science and as a reminder of historical antecedents. This work will amplify and improve upon recent attempts to show that pragmatism and phenomenological philosophy are relevant to today’s sciences of the mind. -- Anthony Chemero, author of Radical Embodied Cognitive ScienceThis accessibly written book was long due. We finally have a clear and detailed overview of how pragmatism anticipated many key ideas of the field of 4E cognition.

Columbia University Press What World Is This
Book SynopsisJudith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences—political, social, ecological, economic—challenge us to develop a new account of interdependency. Butler argues for a radical social equality and advocates modes of resistance that seek to establish new conditions of livability and a new sense of a shared world.Trade ReviewThrough a thorough philosophical accounting of the moral imperatives of living in a globalized society, Butler makes a rousing case for pushing progressive policies as a response to the disruptions of the pandemic. Thoughtful and profound, this hits the mark. * Publishers Weekly *By investigating the world's disunity, Butler provides an excellent text where readers can reflect on how the pandemic affected us all and what it revealed about the nature of our national and global realities. . . Butler challenges readers to think more deeply about how they share their physical and social space with other humans to assemble a more interconnected and livable world. * Philosophy in Review *'Death and illness have been quite literally in the air,' writes Judith Butler in this stunningly poignant study. Phenomenology, they argue, speaks to moments when, every now and then, many, if not all of us, are reminded of the eventual end of the world, and, even more, worlds. That harbinger knocks at the door in 'this' world in which 'all' now at least attempt, despite and even because of tragedy, to live. Addressing the pan-demos, the people everywhere and our interconnectedness, permeability, and irreplaceability, Butler challenges the hubris of imagined protection from the 'external' and articulates the ebb, flow, fragility, and precarity of life beyond idols—beyond, in their word, 'pretense'—of self-sustained and hoarded power. In the spirit of repair, they ask us to embrace responsibility for conditions of radical equality and nonviolence on which livable lives depend, a common world of the symbiosis of breath and touch in the sociality of life. A beautiful and profound offering for our times and beyond. -- Lewis R. Gordon, author of Fear of Black ConsciousnessA thoughtful meditation on what it means to share a world with others in a time of global pandemic and climate change, from a philosopher who has already taught us so much about livable and grievable lives. This book offers a deeply human perspective on life at the edge of disaster. -- Lisa Guenther, author of Solitary Confinement: Social Death and its AfterlivesIn this remarkable meditation, Judith Butler draws together the key strands of their thought—from bodies that matter to melancholia to grievability to nonviolence—and offers a manifesto for our time. Turning to phenomenology, they make the urgent case for a new form of global responsibility based on the deepest entwinement of everyone to each other, to the earth we live on, and to the air we breathe. Nobody else could have made it. What World Is This? offers hope in a cruel and endangered world. -- Jacqueline Rose, author of On Violence and On Violence Against WomenIn this timely and important book, Butler pays careful attention to the specifics of our contemporary situation with startling clarity, bringing their inimitable voice and philosophical resources to the questions of what it means for life to be livable, what it means for the earth to be inhabitable, what it means for an entity to be grievable, and the ways the COVID-19 pandemic has cast these questions into relief, at the same time marking how intimately entwined with each other they are. -- Amy Hollywood, author of Acute Melancholia and Other Essays: Mysticism, History, and the Study of ReligionTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction1.

Columbia University Press Plants in Place
Book SynopsisPlants in Place is a collaborative study of vegetal phenomenology at the intersection of Edward S. Casey’s phenomenology of place and Michael Marder’s plant-thinking.Trade ReviewBrilliant and astounding. Casey and Marder revolutionize our notion of place through a meditation on the being of plants. Place becomes a dynamic symbiosis with vegetal life such that it cannot be measured, quantified, or mastered. Nothing short of a paradigm shift in the way we think about both plants and place. -- Kelly Oliver, author of Earth and World: Philosophy After the Apollo MissionsThis singular work is not only timely but also vitally important in this age of planetary environmental crisis and existential estrangement from the Earth itself. The product of a unique collaboration between two prominent philosophers, Casey and Marder's Plants in Place enables us to reimagine our natural interconnectedness, spurring us on to be more actively engaged with not only the preservation of plant-beings and the myriad other entities that depend on them for their very life, but also with the immense pleasure that attends our interaction with the vegetal world. -- Brian Schroeder, Rochester Institute of TechnologyIn this extraordinary book, two of our most respected and inspiring contemporary philosophers invite us to new paths of thought regarding the mystery of places. In their phytophenomenology, they disclose how places are plants, multidirectional flourishing, upward and downward branching, spreading in the open air and in the night of the underground. Traditional distinctions between mobility and immobility, place and time, measure and the measureless lose their evidence. From the viewpoint of the placiality of plants, of the mysterious ways a plant shows the taking place of places, this book shakes dominant presuppositions about what it means to be in places and to be a place. Discovering how places are plants and planted rather than occupied and planned, how they are emergences and not only constructions, this book asks humans to learn to be with plant places and to find new modes of coexistence: an urgent task. -- Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback, Södertörn University, SwedenPlants in Place is a philosophically exciting book that provokes and inspires. Casey and Marder explore the relation between plants and place, and the interconnection of plants with places, in the process articulating an innovative philosophical vision that offers a new way of seeing and thinking about the world. -- Jeff Malpas, author of In the Brightness of Place: Topological Thinking In and After HeideggerTable of ContentsPreface: Walking Among PlantsAcknowledgments1.

University of Illinois Press The Useless Mouths and Other Literary Writings
Book Synopsis'The Useless Mouths' and Other Literary Writings brings to English-language readers literary writings--several previously unknown--by Simone de Beauvoir. Culled from sources including various American university collections, the works span decades of Beauvoir''s career. Ranging from dramatic works and literary theory to radio broadcasts, they collectively reveal fresh insights into Beauvoir''s writing process, personal life, and the honing of her philosophy. The volume begins with a new translation of the 1945 play The Useless Mouths, written in Paris during the Nazi occupation. Other pieces were discovered after Beauvoir''s death in 1986, such as the 1965 short novel 'Misunderstanding in Moscow,' involving an elderly French couple who confront their fears of aging. Two additional previously unknown texts include the fragmentary 'Notes for a Novel,' which contains the seed of what she later would call 'the problem of the Other,' and a lecture on postwar French theater Trade ReviewA Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2013. "An impressive team of experts introduces the book's 10 pieces and thoroughly annotates them. . . .

As with previous volumes in the Beauvoir Series, "The Useless Mouths" and Other Literary Writings breaks new ground, and it will become indispensible to Beauvoir scholars."--Claudia Card, author of Confronting Evils: Terrorism, Torture, Genocide"This collection of Beauvoir's literary works not only presents us with further evidence of the importance of Beauvoir's existentialist literary style but also gives new insight into her thinking about aesthetics, existentialism, intersubjectivity, aging, and her relationship with Sartre. In addition, here we see some of her most incisive engagements with her critics and critics of existentialism more generally."--Kelly Oliver, author of Animal Lessons: How They Teach Us to Be HumanTable of ContentsForeword to the Beauvoir Series ix Sylvie Le Bon de BeauvoirAcknowledgments xiIntroduction 1 Margaret A.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Adds to a vital and growing body of work dedicated to rethinking and reinterpreting one of the most, if not the most, important authors in Western philosophy and literature—Plato."—Jeremy Bell, editor of Plato's Animals"By his own acknowledgement, Ewegen is not attempting in this stimulating book to definitively "solve" the issue of the way of the Platonic Socrates. What he does do is establish convincingly that one crucial but underestimated aspect of Socrates' way can be articulated by a congeries of terms that include: openness, receptivity, releasement, even weakness, passivity, withdrawal, and poverty, among others. This important book demonstrates insightfully that these themes have not received the attention they deserve."—Drew A. Hyland, Charles A. Dana Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, Trinity College"The Platonic Socrates presented in this extraordinary new work is not only, as the tradition has handed him down to us, poor, wandering, powerless, knowing only that he does not know, but also radically open, receptive, in withdrawal, less a thinker or questioner than a space for thinking and questioning that opens up the entire history of philosophy. By focusing on that space in the Platonic dialogues, Shane Ewegen has given us nothing less than a radically new Socrates."—Michael Naas, author of Plato and the Invention of Life"Ewegen's book elaborates both on what it means for the Platonic Socrates to be somehow lacking and on the assorted ways in which Socrates' character is defined by it. It offers important insights into the highly enigmatic character of the Platonic Socrates and the philosophical significance thereof. This will become essential reading for anyone who takes Socrates' depiction in the dialogues to be philosophically relevant and for anyone interested in how Socrates creates the space in which philosophy can occur."—Sonja Tanner, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, author of Plato's Laughter"In The Way of the Platonic Socrates, S.

Book SynopsisIn Politics, Money, and Persuasion, distinguished philosopher John Russon offers a new framework for interpreting Plato's The Republic.Trade Review"Early in his introduction, John Russon comments that the Republic is the source of seemingly never-ending insights and fresh interpretations. He then goes on to substantiate this insight with his own fresh and provocative reading of this much-interpreted dialogue. His own reading sets out as a guiding insight that logos, the peculiarly human ability to "give an account," to formulate abstractions from specific instances, is a double-edged sword, at once a source of wondrous achievement and destructive misunderstanding, of philosophic insight and sophistic deception. This guiding principle leads to one thought-provoking insight after another—a genuinely fresh reading of the Republic."—Drew Hyland, Charles A. Dana Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, Trinity College"Like all truly excellent works of interpretation, John Russon's reading of the Republic is an original and quite radical departure from traditional approaches, which nonetheless once it is set out in his characteristically lucid and direct philosophical prose, presents itself as almost obvious and common-sensical."—Sean D. Kirkland, author of The Ontology of Socratic Questioning in Plato's Early Dialogues"Politics, Money, and Persuasion is a challenging and far-reaching exploration of the core issues of Plato's Republic, doing justice to what John Russon calls the 'concrete rationality' of the text, while opening up new perspectives on the meaningfulness of democracy, opinion, persuasion, rationality, and the philosophical life."—Robert Metcalf, coauthor of Plato at Syracuse: Essays on Plato in Western Greece"Russon's book is a timely exploration of how our habits of reason inform the possibility of healthy cities and souls. Russon examines the political consequences of how human beings "take account" of the world and of themselves, and in doing so also offers a vision of what a philosophical engagment with politics might look like.

Indiana University Press Introduction to a Phenomenology of Life
Book SynopsisIn Introduction to a Phenomenology of Life, renowned French philosopher Renaud Barbaras aims to construct the basis for a phenomenology of life. Called an introduction because it has to deal with philosophical limits and presuppositions, it is much more, as Barbaras investigates life in its phenomenological senses, approached through the duality of its intransitive and transitive senses. Originally published in French (Introduction a une phenomenologie de la vie) Introduction to a Phenomenology of Life first defines the problem of life phenomenologically, then studies the failures of the phenomenological movement to adequately think about life, and finally elaborates a new, original, and productive approach to the problem. Combining original interpretations and expert readings of philosophers such as Heidegger, Henry, Bergson, and Merleau-Ponty, Barbaras offers a powerful and important contribution to phenomenology and continental thought.Trade Review"Introduction to a Phenomenology of Life is a major work that recasts phenomenology as a phenomenology of life.

Indiana University Press On Inception
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Texts such as On Inception are among Heidegger's most difficult, owing in equal parts to the liminal and exacting character of his thinking therein and the experimental vocabulary with which he articulates such thinking. Hanly does a truly admirable job of rendering Heidegger's often abstruse German syntax into elegant English prose, without, however, doing violence to Heidegger's always difficult and sometimes terse manner of expression. Hanly capably threads the needle between fidelity to Heidegger's necessary opacity and a commitment to bringing the German text into comprehensible English."—S.
