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.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc The Existentialists Survival Guide
Book SynopsisIn The Existentialist's Survival Guide, Gordon Marino, director of the Hong Kierkegaard Library at St. Olaf College and boxing correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, recasts the practical takeaways existentialism offers for the twenty-first century.Trade Review“The Existentialist’s Survival Guide is a remarkable book. We can’t think of another writer who so thoroughly understands Kierkegaard and his followers, presents their thought more accessibly than they themselves did, and—crucially— relates them concretely to the dark places in his own life, and ours.” — Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein, authors of Plato and a Platypus Walk Into A Bar, and Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates “When it comes to living, there’s no getting out alive. But books can help us survive...by passing on what is most important about being human before we perish. Marino has produced an honest and moving book of self-help for readers generally disposed to loathe the genre.” — The Wall Street Journal “Marino’s brilliant The Existentialist’s Survival Guide: How to Live Authentically in an Inauthentic Age. . . gives existentialism a 21st-century presence more gripping, nuanced, and convincing than in its initial American portrayal 60 years ago. . . The prose is electric, illustrating the point that existentialism is also literary.” — The Los Angeles Review of Books “[Marino] brings his life story together with philosophy in this lively account of how existentialism can enhance life and awaken empathy amid the realities of anxiety, death, and depression. . . His disarming honesty and sense of humor make the book easy to read despite its heavy subject matter.” — The Christian Century

University of Chicago Press Sartre Foucault and Historical Reason Volume One
Book SynopsisSartre and Foucault were two of the most prominent and at times mutually antagonistic philosophical figures of the twentieth century. And nowhere are the antithetical natures of their existentialist and poststructuralist philosophies more apparent than in their disparate approaches to historical understanding. A history, thought Foucault, should be a kind of map, a comparative charting of structural transformations and displacements. But for Sartre, authentic historical understanding demanded a much more personal and committed narrative, a kind of interpretive diary of moral choices and risks compelled by critical necessity and an exacting reality. Sartre's history, a rational history of individual lives and their intrinsic social worlds, was in essence immersed in biography. In Volume One of this authoritative two-volume work, Thomas R. Flynn conducts a pivotal and comprehensive reconstruction of Sartrean historical theory, and provocatively anticipates the Foucauldian counterpoint to come in Volume Two.

University of Chicago Press Kant and Phenomenology
Book SynopsisPhenomenology, together with Marxism, pragmatism, and analytic philosophy, dominated philosophy in the twentieth century - and Edmund Husserl is usually thought to have been the first to develop the concept. The author argues for a return to phenomenology's origins in epistemology and does so by locating its roots in the work of Immanuel Kant.Trade Review"This is a clear, concise, and enjoyable read by a senior scholar who is an expert on all aspects of German idealism. Tom Rockmore is uniquely qualified to establish clearly the phenomenological-epistemological narrative extending from Kant to Husserl, Heidegger, and beyond. His constructivist reading of Kant along with his contrast of Kant with Husserl makes his case convincingly in a work of exceptional clarity and rigorous documentation." - Alan Olson, Boston University"

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
