Phenomenology and Existentialism Books
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Hegel on PseudoPhilosophy
Book SynopsisThe preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) is one of the most widely-read texts in Hegel's corpus, and yet we still lack a clear understanding of its aims. Providing a fresh perspective on Hegel's preface, Andrew Davis contends that it should be read as an overview of what philosophy is not. Contesting previous investigations that have assumed Hegel's purpose in the preface is to introduce the reader to his own philosophical method, Davis moves Hegel's positive comments about the nature of philosophy to the background. This is, after all, where they belong in a preface, according to Hegelian philosophy, as Hegel contends that the actual nature of philosophy cannot be presented in advance of specific inquiries. Examining the nature of philosophy through negation, each chapter in the book explores a different form of pseudo-philosophy that Hegel addresses in his preface. Together, they allow Hegelian philosophy to appear in relief as precisely what cannot be aTrade ReviewMany consider the Preface to Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit his greatest philosophical masterpiece, but it is also famously difficult. In Hegel on Pseudo-Philosophy, Andrew Davis shows that it is not just a marvelous introduction to Hegel’s philosophy, but to philosophy as such, one that guards us against its many simulacra. * Mark Alznauer, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Northwestern University, USA *Andrew Davis’s study provides a highly original guiding thread through one of the most challenging texts in modern philosophy. Its laser-like focus on Hegel’s contribution to the age-old task of distinguishing philosophy from pseudo-philosophies manages to maintain high scholarly standards, while also reminding us at every turn of our contemporary pseudo-thinking practices. * Allegra de Laurentiis, Professor of Philosophy, Stony Brook University, USA *What Hegelian philosophy does not want to be? This book captures the reader's attention in an original way, describing Hegel's philosophy from what it is not. An ex negativo route through which one of the most complex works of Western philosophy, the Phenomenology of Spirit, becomes comprehensible even to those who are not specialists in philosophy. * Stefania Achella, Associate Professor of Moral Philosophy, University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisA study of the relationship between Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and Black Thought from Frederick Douglass to Angela Davis, which explodes the western canon of philosophy.Trade Review"Thinking about Blackness historically as a manifestation of the deliberate self-conscious efforts of Black people is not only a worthwhile project but a necessary philosophical and conceptual grounding of Black theory and thought. Phenomenology of the Black Spirit is a commendable effort towards establishing a groundwork for the study of Black Spirit as a revelation of time and civilization. ?" -Tommy J.

State University of New York Press Capital in the Mirror Critical Social Theory and
Book SynopsisAnalyzes contemporary capitalism through the products of culture and art for fresh insight into emancipatory possibilities concealed within capitalism''s darkest dynamics.Aesthetic objects, crafted as poetic reflections of the contradictory worlds that they inhabit, are simultaneously theorized and theorizing. In Capital in the Mirror, eminent critical theorists explore the aesthetic dimension for reflective visions of capital that are difficult to obtain through even the most rigorous statistical analyses. Chapters address inequality, alienation, ideology, warfare, and other problems of contemporary capitalism through the cultural prisms of Herman Melville, Thomas Mann, Charles Dickens, J. W. Goethe, Friedrich Hölderlin, Walt Whitman, Bertolt Brecht, and science-fiction cinema. Famous narrative elements in their works, such as Ahab''s pursuit of the white whale in Melville''s Moby-Dick, demonic production and perverse desire in Mann''s Doctor Faustus, socially electrified bodies of Whitman''s Leaves of Grass, and dystopian projections of current sci-fi cinema, are theorized as stylistically distorted reflections of social life within capital. The authors reveal theoretical powers latent within these condensed images that prefigure the dark dynamics of capitalism. Focusing on dark images of domination and also prophetic images of transformation, the book points the way toward emancipation, social regeneration, and human flourishing.

Continuum Publishing Corporation Idealism and Existentialism
Book SynopsisThe history of Continental philosophy is often conceived as being represented by two major schools: German idealism and phenomenology/existentialism. These two schools are frequently juxtaposed so as to highlight their purported radical differences. There is a commonly held view that an abrupt break occurred in the nineteenth century, resulting in a disdainful rejection of idealism in all its forms. This break is often located in the transition from Hegel to Kierkegaard. The history of philosophy in the first half of the nineteenth century has thus been read as a grand confrontation between the overambitious rationalistic system of Hegel and the devastating criticisms of it by Kierkegaard's philosophy of existence. This work aims to undermine this popular view of the radical break between idealism and existentialism by means of a series of detailed studies in specific episodes of European thought. As a whole, this book represents an important attempt to demonstrate the long shadow castTrade Review"Stewart's fresh approach to the so-called 'antagonism' between idealism and existentialism is both welcome and edifying. His careful, nuanced scholarship encourages the reader to re-consider and re-evaluate the major debates that shaped the development of European philosophy in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries." - Daniel Conway, Texas A&M University, USATable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Abbreviations of Primary Texts; Preface; Introduction; Part I: Hegel and German Idealism; 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Mindfulness
Book SynopsisWritten in 1938/9, Mindfulness (translated from the German Besinnung) is Martin Heidegger''s second major being-historical treatise. Here, Heidegger develops some of his key concepts and themes including truth, nothingness, enownment, art and Be-ing and discusses the Greeks, Nietzsche and Hegel at length. In addition to the main text, the text also includes two further important essays, A Retrospective Look at the Pathway' (1937/8) and ''The Wish and the Will (On Preserving What is Attempted)'' (1937/8), in which Heidegger surveys his unpublished works and discusses his relationship to Catholic and Protestant Christianity and reflects on his life''s path. This is a major translation of a key text from one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century, now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations Series.Trade ReviewThis is a central text for coming to terms with Heidegger's thinking ... The translation itself mirrors and maintains the haunting character of the German text.

Duke University Press Anaesthetics of Existence
Book SynopsisDrawing on examples of things that happen to us but are nonetheless excluded from experience, as well as critical phenomenology, genealogy, and feminist theory, Cressida J. Heyes shows how and why experience has edges, and analyzes phenomena that press against them.Trade Review“‘Anaesthetics of Existence,’ writes Cressida J. Heyes, ‘is a book about refusal, exclusion and liminality.’ More than this, it is a book about the unevenness of attention, about the tendency of bodies to flicker in and out of consciousness, and about extreme ordinariness and the increasing ordinariness of the extreme. This book is timely, original, and offers new insights within the philosophy of experience.” -- Jack Halberstam, author of * The Queer Art of Failure *“Incredibly smart, wide ranging, inventive, and timely, Cressida J. Heyes's Anaesthetics of Existence offers a detailed and philosophically rigorous phenomenological exploration of experience. Heyes does not merely report on phenomenology, she does it with an aliveness to her prose and an expansiveness to her thinking that feels fresh, original, and exciting. A marvelous book.” -- Gayle Salamon, author of * The Life and Death of Latisha King: A Critical Phenomenology of Transphobia *“Without a doubt, Heyes’ Anaesthetics of Existence is a marvelously written, timely, and exciting book. It is both a scholarly feat—impeccably researched and persuasively argued—and a pleasurable read that offers some respite and solace amidst the chaos of postdisciplinary time.” -- Corinne Lajoie * Contemporary Political Theory *“Anaesthetics of Existence is delivered with impressive brevity and wit. . . . Anaesthetics of Existence is a remarkably timely text because, as we desperately hope for an end to pandemic time, we must also critically consider the prepandemic world we’ve missed and how, in light of this disruption, we might establish different habits.” -- Lauren Guilmette * Political Theory *“Anaesthetics of Existence exudes a prescience for our current era unmatched by monographs composed in the period immediately preceding the COVID-19 pandemic. Heyes, a philosopher, undertakes poignant phenomenological case studies into urgent feminist issues, including date rape, the pressures of parenting, and childbirth.” -- Evangeline Holtz-Schramek * Humanities *

Sage Publications Ltd Geographies of Embodiment: Critical Phenomenology
Book SynopsisGeographies of Embodiment provides a critical discussion of the literatures on the body and embodiment, and humanism and post-humanism, and develops arguments about "otherness" and "encounter" which have become key ideas in urban studies, and studies of the city. It situates these arguments in a wider political context, looking at power-relations through case studies at urban, national and transnational scales. These arguments are situated across disciplinary boundaries, at the borderline between between philosophy and social science that is associated to critical phenomenology, and reaches across Human Geography, Sociology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Cultural Studies and Urban Studies. Trade ReviewGeographies of Embodiment by Koefoed and Simonsen presents articulate and sophisticated insights into issues about encounters, space and bodies through a practice-orientated reading of phenomenology. The book draws upon four projects over the last fifteen years about cities, encounters and nationalism to offer critical and engaging readings of encounters, embodiment, and the politics of urban life. This is an important text for critical and engaged scholars working in human geography, urban studies and racial and ethnic studies. Peter Hopkins, Professor of Social Geography, Newcastle University -- Peter HopkinsRarely do I think that any book is a ‘must-read’, but that is surely the case with Geographies of Embodiment: Phenomenology and Strangers. Located on the border between philosophy and social science, this is a deeply theoretical book that is anchored by significant empirical research. Koefoed and Simonsen have written a powerful argument for a new humanism, one that is rooted in complex critical theories and phenomenological philosophies, yet is supported by important empirical work on the geographies of embodiment, practice and difference. The result is a book that makes us rethink present understandings of humanism, especially as the ‘human’ in humanism is (re)made in embodied spatial practice. Lawrence D.

Verso Books What Is Subjectivity?
Book SynopsisIn 1961, the prolific French intellectual Jean-Paul Sartre was invited to give a talk at the Gramsci Institute in Rome. In attendance were some of Italy's leading Marxist thinkers, such as Enzo Paci, Cesare Luporini, and Galvano Della Volpe, whose contributions to the long and remarkable discussion that followed are collected in this volume, along with the lecture itself. Sartre posed the question "What is subjectivity?" - a question of renewed importance today to contemporary debates concerning "the subject" in critical theory. This work includes a preface by Michel Kail and Raoul Kirchmayr and an afterword by Fredric Jameson, who makes a rousing case for the continued importance of Sartre's philosophy.Trade ReviewSartre, political activist, playwright, novelist, existentialist philosopher, biographer and literary critic, was considered one of the leading interpreters of the post-war generation's world view. * Guardian *Long regarded as one of France's reigning intellectuals, Sartre contributed profoundly to the social consciousness of the post-World War II generation. * New York Times *One of the most brilliant and versatile writers as well as one of the most original thinkers of the twentieth century. * Times *A valuable contribution to Sartre studies and contemporary Marxism, this text warrants serious consideration as more than merely a historical artifact: it offers an important view that continues to be relevant to contemporary philosophy and social theory. -- J.A.

Intellect Books Experimental Dining: Performance, Experience and
Book SynopsisExperimental Dining examines the work of four of the world’s leading creative restaurants: Noma, elBulli, The Fat Duck and Alinea. Using ideas from performance studies, cultural studies, philosophy and economics, the book explores the creation of the dining experience as a form of multisensory performance. It examines the construction of the world of the restaurants and their creative methods, the experience of dining and the broader ideological frames within which the work takes place. Experimental Dining brings together ideas around food, philosophy, performance and cultural politics to offer an interdisciplinary understanding of the practice and experience of creative restaurants. The author contends that the work of the experimental restaurant, while operating explicitly within an economy of experiences, is not absolutely determined by that political or economic context. Its practice has the potential to appeal to more than idle curiosity for novelty. It can be unsettling and revealing, provocative and evocative, personal and political, experimental and considered, thoughtful and sensual. Or in other words, that the food event can be art. Primary readership will be academics, researchers and scholars in the fields of food studies, performance studies and those with interests in the philosophy of everyday life, cognitive science and sensory studies. It will be a useful resource as supplementary reading on courses on Food and Performance. It may also have interest for chefs, gastronomes, restaurateurs and artistsTable of ContentsIntroduction The Restaurants: elBulli, The Fat Duck, Noma and Alinea Philosophical Approach Food, Art and Performance Arguments and Structure of the Book Chapter 1 Preparation: The Creative World of the Restaurants 1.1 Restaurant Philosophy 1.2 Constructing the World 1.3 Creative Methods and Approaches 1.4 Technoemotional Cuisine Interlude 1 Progression: Italian Futurism and Technoemotional Cuisine Chapter 2 Presentation: Performances of the Restaurants 2.1 Performing Front of House 2.2 Reading the Menu 2.3 Food Forms Interlude 2 Produced: Mediated Dining Chapter 3 Perception: Sensory and Sensual Experiences 3.1 Immediacy 3.2 Orality: Language 3.3 Orality: Sex 3.4 Culinary Deconstruction Interlude 3 Pop-Up: Food, Performance, Philosophy Chapter 4 Processing: Making Sense 4.1 Making Sense 4.2 Food Narratives 4.3 Aesthetic Processing Interlude 4 Posterity: Documenting Experiences Chapter 5 Payoff: Political and Economic Frames of Experience 5.1 Enjoyment and Excess 5.2 Politics of the Seasonal and the Local 5.3 Experiences Conclusion References

University of Wales Press Latin America and Existentialism: A Pan-American
Book SynopsisLatin America and Existentialism is a preliminary intellectual history, prioritising literature and contextualising Latin American philosophical contributions from the 1860s to the late 1930s, decades that coincide with the canon’s foundational years. This study takes a Pan-American approach to move the critical focus away from the River Plate, a region that has received some critical attention. In doing so, it focuses on existentially-neglected writers such as Brazil’s Machado de Assis and Graciliano Ramos, José Asunción Silva from Colombia, Cuba’s Enrique Labrador Ruiz, and the Chilean María Luisa Bombal. Underappreciated Latin American philosophical voices and existentialism’s canonical perspectives allow the author to discuss the many problems concerning the experiencing ‘I’ of these authors, and to consider such existential themes as ethical vacuity, forlornness, the crisis of insufficiency, the conundrum of choice, and the enigma of authentic being. The concentration on Latin America’s existentially-hued interest in the human condition is an invitation to the reader to reconsider the peripheral status in the existentialism canon.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Tree Leaf Talk: A Heideggerian Anthropology
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to explore the relationship between Martin Heideggers work and modern anthropology. Heidegger attracts much scholarly interest among social scientists, but few have explored his ideas in relation to current anthropological debates. The disciplines modernist foundations, the nature of cultural constructionism and of art even what an anthropology of art must include are all informed and illuminated by Heideggers work. The author argues that many contemporary anthropologists, in their concern to return subjectivity and voice to their interlocutors, neglect to recognize that language and other representational practices conceal the world and human subjectivity as much as reveal it. The author also suggests that Heideggers critique of western technology provides the basis for a return to anthropologys sociological foundations. Emerging from over ten years of original research, and drawing on a rich knowledge of Australian and Melanesian ethnography, this book reassesses the underlying framework of modern and, particularly, visual anthropology. Innovative and provocative, it will be of interest to all anthropologists, philosophers and students of art and culture.Trade Review'What are the limits of relationship? What bounds the scope of imagination? Blending his ethnographic experience among the Foi of Papua New Guinea with his personal reading of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, Weiner seeks the wellsprings of art and social life in the tension between revelation and concealment. In a world bedazzled by the glitz and speed of telecommunications, bathed in a phantasmagoria of ephemeral images, it is easy to think that reality can be whatever we choose to make of it. In the fashionable doctrine of social constructionism, anthropology has succumbed to this temptation. Tree Leaf Talk bursts the constructionist bubble. The book is a passionate appeal for a rigorously down-to-earth anthropology, rooted in the slow, pedestrian rhythms of day-to-day activity through which experience, history and meaning are sedimented in the land.'Tim Ingold, University of Aberdeen'Freed from the descriptor, 'A heideggerian Anthropology', Tree leaf talk can then be reaTable of Contents1 Introduction: Heidegger and Anthropology's Nihilism Part I: Place, Death and Voice in Foi 2 Space and Naming: The Inscriptive Effects of Foi Life Activity 3 Being and Striving: Death, Gender and Temporality among the Poi 4 To Be At Home with Others in an Empty Place 51 Part Il: The Limits of Human Relationship 5 The Limit of Relationship 6 Technology and Techne in Trobriand and Yolngu Art Part III: The Aestheticization of Social Relations 7 The Community as a Work of Art 8 Prelude: Light and Language 9 On Televisualist Anthropology: Representation, Aesthetics, Politics, 10 The Scale of Human Life

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Into the World: The Movement of Patočka's Phenomenology
Book SynopsisCritically evaluating and synthesizing all the previous research on the phenomenology of Czech philosopher Jan Patočka, the book brings a new voice into contemporary philosophical discussions. It elucidates the development of Patočka’s phenomenology and offers a critical appropriation of his work by connecting it with non-phenomenological approaches.The first half of the book offers a succinct, and systematizing, overview of Patočka’s phenomenology throughout its development to help readers appreciate the motives behind and grounds for its transformations. The second half systematically explicates, critically examines and creatively develops Patočka’s concept of the movement of existence as the most promising part of his asubjective phenomenology.The book appeals to new readers of Patočka as well as his scholars, and to students and researchers of contemporary philosophy concerned with topics such as embodiment, personal identity, intersubjectivity, sociality, or historicity. By re-assessing Patočka’s philosophy of history and his civilizational analysis, it also helps to better articulate the question of the place of Europe in the post-European world.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Heidegger on Affect
Book SynopsisThis book offers the first comprehensive assessment of Heidegger’s account of affective phenomena. Affective phenomena play a significant role in Heidegger’s philosophy — his analyses of mood significantly influenced diverse fields of research such as existentialism, hermeneutics, phenomenology, theology and cultural studies. Despite this, no single collection of essays has been exclusively dedicated to this theme. Comprising twelve innovative essays by leading Heidegger scholars, this volume skilfully explores the role that not only Angst plays in Heidegger’s work, but also love and boredom. Exploring the nature of affective phenomena in Heidegger, as well as the role they play in wider philosophical debates, the volume is a valuable addition to Heideggerian scholarship and beyond, enriching current debates across disciplines on the nature of human agency.Trade Review“This collection can be considered a major contribution to its own field, one that simultaneously invites further productive engagement with the theme from anyone interested in what Heidegger brings to bear on affects (be it from within the field or from without). The volume’s efficacy lies in seriously considering how affects are existentially pertinent to human beings, deepening the widely-held intuition that they are. For that reason, it is of considerable merit and should be of interest to many.” (Tijmen Lansdaal, Phenomenological Reviews, December 10, 2019)Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Phenomenology of Anxiety
Book SynopsisThis volume offers a thorough description of anxiety from a phenomenological perspective. Building on Bakhtin’s insights, the author develops the method of “phenomenological polyphony,” which can do justice to the essential ambiguity of anxiety. In this polyphony, the voices of Kierkegaard, Husserl, Freud, Blumenberg, Heidegger, Sartre, Adorno, Derrida and Levinas are particularly recognizable. The book explores new perspectives on the complex relation between anxiety, fear, and trauma with reference to different disciplines, from art history to cultural anthropology, from psychopathology to theology, from literature to political philosophy.When is anxiety justified? When does anxiety cease to function as an effective and reasonable signal preventing imminent threats, and when does it become an invasive projection of our own ghosts? This volume presents a deep philosophical inquiry into the affective phenomenon that can both protect us from danger and be a danger in itself.Moreover, the author explores the relevance of anxiety in the context of philosophical anthropology. In various theoretical frameworks, the difference between anxiety and fear serves as a criterion for distinguishing human beings from animals in particular. Accordingly, research on anxiety is crucial for defining human nature as such.The analysis presented in this volume shows how an alteration of the dimensions of embodiment, time-consciousness, and phantasy takes place in anxiety. Furthermore, the author elaborates on new categories for understanding of anxiety, such as quasi-intentional imaginative anticipation, which eludes the traditional differentiation between perception and imagination. The work culminates in a phenomenological analysis of five essential traits of anxiety: 1. its quasi-intentional imaginative anticipation; 2. its negative inspiration; 3. the recurrence of bodily manifestations; 4. the interlocution with an alien power; 5. its negative teleology.Table of ContentsDedication.- Chapter. 1.- Introduction.- Chapter. 2.- Anxiety Between Terror and Fear.- Chapter. 3.- Anxiety between negative connotation and positive teleology: Sartre, Kierkegaard and Heidegger.- Chapter. 4.- Anxiety, Desire and Imagination.- Chapter. 5.- Anxiety: A Phenomenological Investigation in V Acts.

Springer International Publishing AG Einleitung in die Phänomenologie: Vorlesung 1912
Book SynopsisDer vorliegende Band enthält den Text der zweistündigen Vorlesung, die Husserl im Sommersemester 1912 unter dem Titel „Einleitung in die Phänomenologie“ in Göttingen gehalten hat. Das Thema der ursprünglich als „Urteilstheorie“ angekündigten Vorlesung wurde kurzfristig geändert, da es nicht möglich sei, wie Husserl zu Beginn der Vorlesung erläutert, „eine Urteilstheorie darzustellen, ohne weitgehende Kenntnis in Betreff gewisser allgemeiner Bewusstseinsgestaltungen vorauszusetzen“. Neben einer Untersuchung von Bewusstseinsphänomenen wie „äußere und innere Wahrnehmung, Erlebnis- und Zeitbewusstsein, Erinnerung, Erwartung, Aufmerksamkeit, Erfassung, Explikation und dergleichen” liegt das Hauptaugenmerk der Vorlesung auf der Erläuterung der beiden Grundpfeiler der phänomenologischen Methode: der Wesensschau und der phänomenologischen Reduktion. Die Vorlesung vom Sommersemester 1912 diente Husserl als Vorlage bei der Niederschrift seines transzendental-phänomenologischen Hauptwerkes, der „Ideen I“ (Husserliana Bd. III/1), mit der er während der Vorlesungszeit, nämlich Ende Mai oder Anfang Juni 1912, begann. Inhaltliche Übereinstimmungen mit dem Vorlesungstext weisen der Erste Abschnitt der “Ideen I” („Tatsache und Wesen“), der Zweite Abschnitt („Die phänomenologische Fundamentalbetrachtung“) und teilweise der Dritte Abschnitt („Zur Methodik und Problematik der reinen Phänomenologie“) auf. – Die hier erstmals veröffentlichte Vorlesung „Einleitung in die Phänomenologie“ aus dem Sommersemester 1912 bietet Forschern und Studenten interessante Einblicke in Entwicklung und Thematik von Husserls transzendentaler Phänomenologie.Table of Contents- Kapitel 1.

Academic Studies Press Lev Shestov: The Philosophy and Works of a Tragic
Book SynopsisThis study spans, in a single monograph, the entire life and work of the Russian philosopher Lev Shestov (1866-1938). It offers keys to understanding his thought, while also tracing the historical itinerary of his work. Shestov's thought is not only interesting in itself, as a "philosophy fighting against philosophy," but also because it reveals an entire world of cultural connections in its extraordinarily keen exploration of other "souls." The reader will find in Shestov some of the sharpest analyses of authors such as Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Tolstoi, Dostoevskii, Luther, Plotinus, Pascal, Kierkegaard and many others. This study will better determine the controversial and fascinating philosopher's place in the history of Russian and Western thought.Trade Review“Oppo’s study is impressively comprehensive…Students of Shestov will appreciate the meticulousness of Oppo’s research, which is reflected in an excellent bibliography that is in itself a reason to invest in this book.”— Ruth Coates, Slavic ReviewTable of Contents Acknowledgments Editorial Notes Introduction Part One: Shestov in Russia Chapter I: The Philosophy of Tragedy (1898-1905) 1.1 Introduction: The Birth of a Tragic Conscience 1.2 Shestov before Shestov: Shakespeare and Pushkin 1.3 Tolstoi's Struggle between "Yasnaya Polyana" and "Astapovo" 1.4 Friedrich Nietzsche: Truth against Morality 1.5 Dostoevskii and Nietzsche as "Philosophers of the Underground" 1.6 Apotheosis of "Bespochvennost'": Towards a Philosophy of Tragedy Chapter II: Art as Negativity-The Literary Criticism Years (1901-1910) 2.1 Introduction: Shestov and the Philosophical Problem of Art 2.2 Aestheticism and Ideology: On Merezhkovskii and Turgenev 2.3 Creatio ex Nihilo: Chekhov's Aesthetics 2.4 The "Oracular" Gratuity of Sologub's Prose and Poetry 2.5 Ibsen and the Destiny of Art 2.6 Retracting Tragedy: Dostoevskii as an Essayist 2.7 The "Magnificent" Vyacheslav Ivanov Part Two: Shestov in France Chapter III: Wandering Through the Souls (1914-1929) 3.1 Introduction: The Events of History-Shestov's Political Views 3.2 The Power of Keys: Faith and Church in Martin Luther 3.3 The Two Histories of Western Philosophy 3.4 The Fight against Self-Evidences: Dostoevskii, Pascal, and Spinoza 3.5 Philosophy's Revolt against Itself: Plotinus's Ecstasies 3.6 Audacities and Submissions: Shestov's Intellectual World 3.7 Shestov and the Russian Philosophers Chapter IV: Athens and Jerusalem-The Logic and the Thunder (1930-1938) 4.1 Introduction: Shestov as a "Jewish Philosopher" 4.2 The Bible and the Original Sin: In Dialogue with Martin Buber 4.3 The Last Encounter: Kierkegaard 4.4 Étienne Gilson and the Spirit of Medieval Philosophy 4.5 Philosophers in Chains: At the Sources of Metaphysics Conclusion 1.

Indiana University Press Specters of God
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Caputo's major and tremulous work of theopoetics is inspired yet haunted by the name "God," a "focus imaginarius of the apophatic imaginary." While charting with his customary lucidity a vast course through thinkers like Aquinas, Luther, Meister Eckhart, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Tillich, and Derrida, Caputo also devotes considerable attention to Schelling, the apophatic alter ego of Hegel. In so doing, Schelling returns from exile and contributes powerful resources to Caputo's unsettling of the theological imaginary."—Jason M. Wirth, Seattle University, and author of Schelling's Practice of the Wild"Spooky, how Jack Caputo twists beyond theism and atheism into yet another adventure—impossibly lucid, luminous and ever darkly fun—into the abyss of unknowing. He does not light the way but writes it, drawing us into its glowing shadows, its apophatic philosophy, politics and practice. If there is no way out of this spectral "God", this "world without why," we may thank Specters of God for such haunting hospitality."—Catherine Keller, George T Cobb Professor of Constructive Theology, Drew University Theological School.

Harvard University Press Who Needs a World View
Book SynopsisPhilosophers—professionals and the armchair variety—are given to defending comprehensive world views. Raymond Geuss, one of the most celebrated thinkers of our time, dispenses with this ambition for intellectual unity. Ranging across the history of art and ideas, Geuss argues for flexibility, doubt, and the accommodation of unresolved complexity.Trade ReviewMany of the joys of Who Needs a World View? lie not only in the encouragement Geuss offers to see through the need for a worldview but also in his pithy and enlightening insights into the works of the philosophers, artists, and writers he discusses. -- Georgia Warnke, Director, Center for Ideas and Society, University of California, RiversideRaymond Geuss has undertaken in recent years to resuscitate the genre of the classical philosophical essay, and he has by now made himself an absolute master of it. This is abundantly evident in his new collection of essays, which takes us on a vertiginous and often exhilarating journey that easily passes from Homer to the present in pursuit of his leading question, ‘Who needs a world view?’ -- Hans Sluga, University of California, BerkeleyWho Needs a World View? is a brilliant collection of essays that richly yet deftly challenges a broad range of pieties and settled assumptions on how we are supposed to understand our lives and our circumstances. Raymond Geuss shares with us the philosophical motivations behind his approach to those questions, with absorbing accounts of the two teachers who deeply impressed his thinking. This is a book of unfailingly resonant, sometimes poignant, and characteristically timely interventions. -- Brian O’Connor, Professor of Philosophy, University College DublinGeuss wants to replace collective creeds and manifestos, which tend to be dogmatic and encompassing, with personal confessions…These essays glitter with insights…Makes a compelling case, by argument and example, that one can live well without adopting any view of one’s life as a whole, let alone a systematic worldview. -- Kieran Setiya * Los Angeles Review of Books *Geuss’s startling scholarly range, from ancient Greek and biblical history to Brexit and Donald Trump, and his command of languages (French, German, Latin, Greek) and knowledge of figures both philosophical (Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche) and artistic (Bruegel, Tristan Tzara, Paul Klee, Antonin Artaud) are on full display here, alongside his usual acuity and wit. -- Hugo Drochon * Times Literary Supplement *Probing and playful essays. -- Graham Ambrose * Chicago Review of Books *Some of his most personal [essays] and they have a perceptive depth to them where each feels like a glimpse at life in its most spontaneous, creative, unruly, and ultimately, unknowable aspects, and the implications these have for how we orientate ourselves in the world. -- Alex Tebble * Marx and Philosophy *Geuss [is] among the most renowned philosophical essayists alive today…In one way or another, all of [his] work sets out to puncture the pretensions of contemporary Anglophone philosophical thinking…Who Needs a World View? is perhaps Geuss’s most personal and existential book yet…This collection of essays confirms Geuss’s status as a subtle, perceptive, and deep thinker with estimable gifts and an enviable range. -- Edward Hall * Society *

Fordham University Press Heideggers Technologies
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Heidegger's technologies is a versatile and refreshing critique of Heidegger's views on technology. The book embodies a fascinating discussion between two of the most prominent voices in philosophy of technology- one from the past, the other from the present. Without any doubt, Don Ihde's compelling and often ironic reflections will inspire new directions in philosophy of technology." -- -Peter-Paul Verbeek Twente University "This book is a very good introductory text on Heidegger's philosophy of technology, and I would say also of Heidegger's thought in general." -Minds & Machines "Don Ihde is one of the most influential philosophers of the last quarter of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, and the essays collected here contain some of his best, and adequately reflect his dependence on, but also his developments away from Heidegger. The book is thus likely to find the wide audience it deserves." -- -Paul Durbin University of Delaware
