Cambridge University Press Pathmarks Texts in German Philosophy
Book SynopsisThis is the first time that a seminal collection of fourteen essays by Martin Heidegger (originally published in German under the title Wegmarken) has appeared in English in its complete form. It includes new or first-time translations of seven essays, and thoroughly revised, updated versions of the other seven. Amongst the new translations are such key essays as 'On the Essence of Ground', 'Hegel and the Greeks' and 'On the Question of Being'. Spanning a period from 1919â61, these essays have become established points of reference for all those with a serious interest in Heidegger. Now collected for the first time in translations by an experienced Heidegger translator and scholar, they will prove an essential resource for all students of Heidegger.Trade Review'This is a great event in the publication of Heidegger in English translation. 'Plato's Doctrine of Truth' is almost worth the price of the volume all by itself, and Pathmarks as a whole is perhaps the best introduction to Heidegger's 'turn' away from the phenomenological ontology of Being and Time.'

Cambridge University Press Embodiment and Experience The Existential Ground of Culture and Self 2 Cambridge Studies in Medical Anthropology Series Number 2
Book SynopsisStudents of culture have been increasingly concerned with the ways in which cultural values are 'inscribed' on the body. These essays go beyond this passive construal of the body to a position in which embodiment is understood as the existential condition of cultural life. From this standpoint embodiment is reducible neither to representations of the body, to the body as an objectification of power, to the body as a physical entity or biological organism, nor to the body as an inalienable centre of individual consciousness. This more sensate and dynamic view is applied by the contributors to a variety of topics, including the expression of emotion, the experience of pain, ritual healing, dietary customs, and political violence. Their purpose is to contribute to a phenomenological theory of culture and self - an anthropology that is not merely about the body, but from the body.Trade Review"The authors of Embodiment and Experience broach several interesting paths for future research."

Cambridge University Press Researches in the Phenomena of Spiritualism Cambridge Library Collection Spiritualism and Esoteric Knowledge
Book SynopsisPublished in 1874, this collection of reports by the chemist and scientific journalist Sir William Crookes (1832â1919) describes his controversial research into psychic forces. In 1870, Crookes decided that science had a duty to study preternatural phenomena associated with spiritualism, and he spent the next four years carrying out experiments which tested famous mediums including D. D. Home, Kate Fox and Florence Cook. This fascinating work describes Crookes' witnessing of the movement of bodies at a distance, rappings, changes in the weights of bodies, levitation of individuals and automatic writing. Although he was strongly criticised by his contemporaries, Crookes would not be deterred from his psychical research, demonstrating that he thought all natural phenomena worthy of scientific investigation. A great experimentalist, Crookes refused to be bound by tradition and convention, and his story reveals one of the important episodes in the history of the spiritualist movement.Table of ContentsPart I. Spiritualism Viewed by the Light of Modern Science, and Experimental Investigations on Psychic Force; Part II. Psychic Force and Modern Spiritualism; Part III. Notes of an Inquiry into the Phenomena Called Spiritual, During the Years 1870–3.

Rowman & Littlefield Oppression and the Human Condition An
Book SynopsisOppression and the Human Condition is both a valuable teaching tool and an insightful addition to scholarship on the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre.Trade ReviewMartin's lucid and compelling study of oppression is set apart from other accounts by a focus on the oppressor and an emphasis on individual responsibility. His case study of modern day sexism shows the value of a Sartrean approach for understanding gender oppression. -- Julien S. Murphy, University of Southern MaineTom Martin, writing in contexts marked by colonial legacies of racism and economic dependence, offers here one of the clearest statements on Sartre's philosophy and its importance for our continued efforts to forge a humane world. This is, indeed, one of the very best books on the subject for both scholars and lay readers. -- Lewis R. Gordon, Professor of Philosophy and Africana Studies, University of ConnecticutIn a nuanced reading of Sartre's early writings that is fresh and convincing, Tom Martin argues that the anti-Semitic racist and the sexist are engaged in bad faith flights from the situated freedom of the human condition. Martin demonstrates that the early as well as the later Sartre is important to those who are interested in understanding the structures and dynamics of repression and persecution. -- Debra Bergoffen, Bishop Hamilton Lecturer in Philosophy, American UniversityTable of ContentsChapter 1 Conciousness, the World, and Human Being Chapter 2 Bad Faith, Human Being, and Self-Deception Chapter 3 Anti-Semitic Racism and the Flight from Transcendence Chapter 4 Others in the World of the Self Chapter 5 Sado-Sexism and the Flight from Facticity

Book SynopsisThis volume arises from a tradition of realism, both philosophical and political, a universe in which the common sense understanding of things is included in our judgement about them. The scope is both vast and narrow – vast because it is aware of the reality of things, narrow because it is the individual person who can and wants to know them.

Equinox Publishing Ltd Global Phenomenologies of Religion: An Oral
Book SynopsisGlobal Phenomenologies of Religion offers a new way of looking at the past, current and future trajectory of the study of religion. The phenomenology of religion was once widely acknowledged to be the core of the study of religion as an autonomous discipline. First used as a term by the Dutch scholar Chantepie de la Saussaye in 1887, it was developed by Gerardus van der Leeuw in the 1930s and 40s, became popular in the 1960s and 70s and then met severe criticism, virtually disappearing by the beginning of the twenty-first century. This book adds to our global understanding of the history of the study of religion. Interviews with scholars from ten different countries offer a lived history, covering more than half a century. The resulting picture is diverse and nuanced, revealing important national and regional differences, and challenging long-held views about the rise and decline of this venerable approach to the study of religion.Table of ContentsIntroduction Satoko Fujiwara, David Thurfjell and Steven Engler 1.
