Taylor & Francis Ltd Volume 15 Tome IV Kierkegaards Concepts
Book SynopsisKierkegaard's Concepts is a comprehensive, multi-volume survey of the key concepts and categories that inform Kierkegaard's writings. Each article is a substantial, original piece of scholarship, which discusses the etymology and lexical meaning of the relevant Danish term, traces the development of the concept over the course of the authorship, and explains how it functions in the wider context of Kierkegaard's thought. Concepts have been selected on the basis of their importance for Kierkegaard's contributions to philosophy, theology, the social sciences, literature and aesthetics, thereby making this volume an ideal reference work for students and scholars in a wide range of disciplines.Table of ContentsContents: Preface; Individual, Lydia B.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Nature Art and Education in East Asia
Book SynopsisThis volume explores the deeply interwoven connection of education, art and nature in the context of East Asia. With contributions from authors in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, the book considers unnoticed but significant themes involved in the interplay of nature, art, and education. It manifests how nature and art can educate, and how education and nature play the role of art. The chapters explore a range of themes relevant to East Asian characteristics, including skill acquisition, Japanese calendar arts and ritual of feelings, garden architecture, the ritualised body, collaborative poetry art, translational language between humans and nature, the Confucian classical Six Arts, the artistic embodiment of the Kyoto School, and the heritage art based education in Korea. The authors examine these themes in novel ways to bring to light the relevance of the East Asian insights to the contemporary global world. This book is an outstanding resource to all researchers, schoTable of Contents1. Zhuangzi’s Edu-Dào and Dàoful Well-being: Cook Ding and other Craftsmen Revisited 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Nietzsche and Psychotherapy
Book SynopsisDrawing on over a century of international Nietzschean scholarship, this groundbreaking book discusses some of the unexplored psychological reaches of Nietzsche's thought, as well as their implications for psychotherapeutic practice.Nietzsche's philosophy anticipated some of the most innovative cultural movements of the last century, from expressionism and surrealism to psychoanalysis, humanistic psychology and phenomenology. But his work on psychology often remains discarded, despite its many insights. Addressing this oversight, and in an age of managerialism and evidence-based practice, this book helps to redefine psychotherapy as an experiment that explores the limits and intricacies of human experience. It builds the foundations for a differentialist psychology: a life-affirming project that can deal squarely with the challenges, joys and sorrows of being human.Nietzsche and Psychotherapy will be of great interest to researchers interested in tTrade Review"Nietzsche and Psychotherapy by Manu Bazzano is, to paraphrase Nietzsche himself, 'mighty dynamism'!" - Hugh Knopf, Self & Society"The discussions are profound and important, and I am aware that after reading them ‘my’ Nietzsche is not quite the same person as before. And nor am I." - Mike Harding, Existential Analysis"Manu Bazzano’s Nietzsche and Psychotherapy is not just "a breath of fresh air" in contemporary psychotherapy. It is what Nietzsche would call a full "gale." It blows open windows and doors on vistas of which most of those concerned with "mental health," "behavioral science," and "wellness" – those handmaidens of social-political hygiene – have no clue. Nietzsche rightly considered himself the first of a new type of psychologist that had yet to be imagined, and said that it would take a century and more before his writings would begin to be understood. Today, some hundred plus years later, we are seeing an emerging Nietzschean type of psychology. Bazzano’s Nietzsche and Psychotherapy is a major contribution to that development. It is an important and challenging work, because Nietzsche is an important and challenging thinker, and because applying him to psychotherapy is an important and challenging enterprise. This book is not for psychotherapists who, faint of heart and without realizing it, labor for the sake of social-political hygiene rather than for the life that animates their clients. It is for psychotherapists who dare to be bold and, most importantly, willing to dignify the lives of their clients by inspiring and encouraging the same boldness and daring in them." --Daniel Chapelle, author, Nietzsche and Psychoanalysis; The Soul In Everyday Life; and (forthcoming) Nietzsche and the Buddha: Different Lives, Same Ideas – How Nietzsche May Yet Become the West’s Own Buddha."With curiosity, skill and mischievousness, Bazzano taps the bell of psychotherapy with Nietzsche’s hammer. The resulting sound is something I wish for every therapist to hear – it dispels Gods and their shadows, and resonates with the beauty of engagement. Read it at your peril – the more rigorous your therapeutic worldviews, the deeper they will crack." --Dr Niklas Serning, Senior Lecturer University of the West of England, Consultant Psychotherapist OTR, Chartered Psychologist, Existential and Child psychotherapist, Registered Supervisor"The book is not a critical inquiry into Nietzsche, but one using Nietzsche to conduct a critical inquiry into psychotherapy, yet always trying to do so in an affirmative way. (...) If the reader has some experience in these areas, the book is inspiring. Furthermore, the book is full of illuminating quotes by Nietzsche and Deleuze, which actually make it archaeological." --Finn Janning, PhD, writer and a philosopher, Metapsychology Online ReviewsTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionChapter1 "You get burned either way"Chapter 2 Love and the uncontested lifeChapter 3 Fables of identityChapter 4 Against humanismChapter 5 Homo naturaChapter 6 Poison and remedyChapter 7 Ambiguous legaciesChapter 8 Tears of joyReferencesIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd Franz Brentano
Book SynopsisFranz Brentano (18381917) was a leading philosopher and psychologist of the nineteenth century. Indeed, the impact of his scholarship was so great that he became synonymous with a school of thought and a new approach in scientific philosophy. The Brentano School stood against the Idealistic and post-Kantian German tradition and Brentano played a crucial role in the founding of Austrian philosophy. He had an enormous impact on the work of Husserl and Heidegger, as well as on Moore's Ethics and Stout and Russell's analysis of mind. In particular, situated between the phenomenology movement and the analytic tradition, the concept of intentionality was redefined by Brentano and has beenand remainsa key concept of twentieth- and twentieth-first century philosophy of mind. But Brentano not only reshaped philosophy of mind; he was also a remarkable and innovative thinker in several other fields of philosophy, and recent debate in metaethics, metaphysics, and the history of analytic

Taylor & Francis Ltd Modal Logics and Philosophy
Book SynopsisThe first edition, published by Acumen in 2000, became a prescribed textbook on modal logic courses. The second edition has been fully revised in response to readers' suggestions, including two new chapters on conditional logic, which was not covered in the first edition. "Modal Logics and Philosophy" is a fully comprehensive introduction to modal logics and their application suitable for course use. Unlike most modal logic textbooks, which are both forbidding mathematically and short on philosophical discussion, "Modal Logics and Philosophy" places its emphasis firmly on showing how useful modal logic can be as a tool for formal philosophical analysis. In part 1 of the book, the reader is introduced to some standard systems of modal logic and encouraged through a series of exercises to become proficient in manipulating these logics. The emphasis is on possible world semantics for modal logics and the semantic emphasis is carried into the formal method, Jeffrey-style truth-trees. Standard truth-trees are extended in a simple and transparent way to take possible worlds into account. Part 2 systematically explores the applications of modal logic to philosophical issues such as truth, time, processes, knowledge and belief, obligation and permission.Trade ReviewReviews of first edition: "This is an excellent book. Girle not only knows logic, he also knows how it ought to be taught in ways that students find accessible. In this book, we see the fruits of Girle's efforts in teaching modal logic to advanced philosophy students. The results bear all of the marks of Girle's distinctive style. It is accessible, packed full of interesting, useful examples, and just the right amount of detail necessary to illuminate the core ideas." - Greg Restall, Australasian Journal of Philosophy Rod Girle is the best logic teacher that I know. All those who want a non-technical introduction to modal logic and its applications will now be able to benefit from his outstanding pedagogic skills.A" - Graham Priest, Graduate Center, City University of New York and University of Melbourne "Modal Logics and Philosophy has the technical precision and rigour that is sometimes sacrificed to concern with philosophical logic. A book that will stand out amongst modal logic texts." - Bernard Linsky, University of AlbertaTable of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements 1. Argument and modality Part I Formal systems 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Herbert Spencer and the Invention of Modern Life
Book SynopsisThe English philosopher Herbert Spencer (1820 - 1903) was a colossus of the Victorian age.

In this acclaimed study of Spencer, the first for over thirty years and now available in paperback, Mark Francis provides an authoritative and meticulously researched intellectual biography of this remarkable man that dispels the plethora of misinformation surrounding Spencer and shines new light on the broader cultural history of the nineteenth century. In this major study of Spencer, the first for over thirty years, Mark Francis provides an authoritative and meticulously researched intellectual biography of this remarkable man. Using archival material and contemporary printed sources, Francis creates a fascinating portrait of a human being whose philosophical and scientific system was a unique attempt to explain modern life in all its biological, psychological and sociological forms.Herbert Spencer and the Invention of Modern Life fills what is perhaps the last big biographical gap in Victorian history.

In relocating the assumptions about Victorian politics, social science, and evolutionary biology, this work deserves a wide audience, within and well beyond historical scholarship.' - The Historical JournalTable of ContentsPreface, Chronology, List of illustrations, Introduction, I An individual and his personal culture, II The lost world of Spencer’s metaphysics, III Spencer’s biological writings and his philosophy of science, IV Politics and ethical sociology, Notes, Bibliography, Index

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Companion to Lacan Cambridge Companions to Literature
Book SynopsisThis collection of specially commissioned essays by academics and practising psychoanalysts, first published in 2003, explores key dimensions of Jacques Lacan's life and works. Lacan is renowned as a theoretician of psychoanalysis whose work is still influential in many countries. He refashioned psychoanalysis in the name of philosophy and linguistics at the time when it underwent a certain intellectual decline. Advocating a 'return to Freud', by which he meant a close reading in the original of Freud's works, he stressed the idea that the unconscious functions 'like a language'. All essays in this Companion focus on key terms in Lacan's often difficult and idiosyncratic developments of psychoanalysis. This volume will bring fresh, accessible perspectives to the work of this formidable and influential thinker. These essays, supported by a useful chronology and guide to further reading will prove invaluable to students and teachers alike.Trade Review"Superb... this book shoud appeal to anyone interested in the development of Freudian thought and the history of ideas concerning human subjectivity.
