Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group Betraying Spinoza
Book SynopsisPart of the Jewish Encounter seriesIn 1656, Amsterdam’s Jewish community excommunicated Baruch Spinoza, and, at the age of twenty–three, he became the most famous heretic in Judaism. He was already germinating a secularist challenge to religion that would be as radical as it was original. He went on to produce one of the most ambitious systems in the history of Western philosophy, so ahead of its time that scientists today, from string theorists to neurobiologists, count themselves among Spinoza’s progeny.In Betraying Spinoza, Rebecca Goldstein sets out to rediscover the flesh-and-blood man often hidden beneath the veneer of rigorous rationality, and to crack the mystery of the breach between the philosopher and his Jewish past. Goldstein argues that the trauma of the Inquisition’ s persecution of its forced Jewish converts plays itself out in Spinoza’s philosophy. The excommunicated Spinoza, no less than his excommunicators,

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Gadamer A Guide for the Perplexed Guides for the Perplexed
Book SynopsisProviding an account of Gadamer's hermeneutics, this book includes an exposition and analysis of such key terms as 'fusion of horizons', 'effective historical consciousness' and 'the logic of question and answer', as well as Gadamer's redefinition of such concepts as 'prejudice', 'authority' and 'tradition'.Trade Review"Chris Lawn, Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Limerick, has written the best introduction to the work and life of Hans-Georg Gadamer so far. It admirably fulfils the task of Continuum's series, Guides for the Perplexed, of offering ‘clear, concise and accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find especially challenging - or, indeed, downright bewildering', but it is much more than that...It is amazing that Lawn, who apparently never met Gadamer, has such as acute understanding of the man and his thought - something that Gadamer himself, who really disliked the biographical approach, would have very much appreciated. In fact, one of the qualities of the book is that it is truly hermeneutical and indeed Gadamerian, oriented, as such a book should be, towards understanding. Perhaps Lawn's combination of sympathy and distance was ideal for this task. The book is very well written and pedagogically masterful; the dutkus is dramatic and interest-stimulating, and the style is elegant, non-verbose and pleasant to read. Throughout, Lawn avoids oversimplifications." -Wolfgang Drechsler, Philosophy in Review, 2007Table of ContentsPreface; Chapter 1: The Problems of Reading Gadamer; Chapter 2: Who is Gadamer?; Chapter 3: What is Hermeneutics?; Chapter 4: Philosophical Hermeneutics: From Hermeneutics to.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Wittgenstein A Guide for the Perplexed Guides for
Book SynopsisPresenting a commentary on the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, this book offers guidance to reading Wittgenstein and a methodology for interpreting his works. It covers the entirety of Wittgenstein's career, examining the relationship between the early, middle and later periods of his philosophy.Trade Review'I have read the manuscript with increasing admiration. I think this a very successful attempt to provide a concise introduction to Wittgenstein's philosophy that is at once accessible and thorough. The book is lucidly written, and provides a clear overview of Wittgenstein's views and their relevance, without, however, shying away from the many difficult issues involved in Wittgenstein's thought. I especially liked the emphasis on the complex development of Wittgenstein's thought and the attention that is given to questions regarding Wittgenstein's methodology. In these two respects the book is unique among the many introductions that are available. The book is critical of Wittgenstein's views where it should be, yet succeeds in making a strong case why he remains such an important and fascinating figure in philosophy. For an audience with some background in philosophy I think this is an excellent work.' Professor Martin Stokhof, Department of Philosophy, University of Amsterdam"An authoritative introduction to all aspects of Wittgenstein's philosophy." - Professor Robert Arrington, Department of Philosophy, Georgia State University"An excellent overview of all facets of Wittgenstein's work. Highly recommended." - Brian Bix, Frederick W. Thomas Professor of Law and Philosophy, University of Minnesota"This is a clear, balanced, and very recommendable book that gives a good idea of the complexity of Wittgenstein's philosophy and the many questions it raises. It is useful not only as an introduction for newcomers to Wittgenstein, but also for people who want to compare Wittgenstein's reflections on philosophical issues with alternative non-analytical philosophical views, such as, for example, the notions of proposition and judgment as found in Hegel. The introduction to Wittgenstein's middle and later philosophy is lucid, and Addis' discussions, especially in Chapter 8, allow the possibility of a thorough interaction of his philosophy not only with Continental philosophy, but also with intercultural philosophy." -Jesper Garsdal, Philosophy in ReviewTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Charting the Bounds of Sense; Chapter 3: Meatphysics of the Tractatus; Chapter 4: The Middle Period; Chapter 5: Aims and Methods of Philosophical Therapy.
