La vergüenza es revolucionaria
Book SynopsisYsiaprovecháramoselpoder de lavergüenzacomo un motor vital ypolítico?El nuevoensayo delautor de Andar,unafilosofía. La vergüenza es un sentimiento omnipresente en el mundo contemporáneo, un signo de nuestra responsabilidad. Podemos avergonzarnos del estado del mundo, de las propias pertenencias frente a los que no tienen nada, de la indecente riqueza de los poderosos, del modo en que asfixiamos el planeta, de las actitudes sexistas o racistas...La vergüenza no es solo tristeza y retraimiento; también es portadora de ira, de una energía transformadora. Por eso Marx proclamó que la vergüenza es revolucionaria.En este ensayo, Frédéric Gros recurre a autores como Primo Levi, a Annie Ernaux, a Virginie Despentes y a James Baldwin, para explorar las profundidades de un sentimiento demasiado olvidado en la filosofía moral y política.La crítica ha dich

Brill Pride – Sin or Virtue?: History and Phenomenology
Book SynopsisWounded pride of the hero motivated one of the primal poems, pride of the angel caused his downfall and hubris of man cost him his expulsion from earthly paradise and the sale of his soul to the devil. Different forms of pride play a central role in many myths. This book conscientiously reviews the history of these emotions, literary recreations and philosophical approaches and accounts for their relevance in the contemporary world. It offers an original phenomenology of pride, which draws on preceding historical and analytical work, and a conceptual and musical speculation on the future of posthuman pride.Trade Review‘The analysis of the emotion of pride is approached with a masterful beauty, perfectly combining a double historical-hermeneutical and philosophical-phenomenological approach.’ - Sonia Rodríguez, Associate Professor of Philosophy, National University of Distance Education, Spain ‘What a great book! Very well written, with clear ideas and masterfully developed. Also substantial and erudite. None of this prevents the author from using a subtle and ironic humor where it is appropriate and does not break the speech.’ - Mikel Gorriti, Ph.D. in Psychology, Basque Government ‘Written in simple and rigorous language, this book traces the history of the emotion of pride and analyses its growing importance in contemporary cultural, social and political movements. An excellent book.’ - Juan Antonio Valor, former Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Complutense University of MadridTable of ContentsPreface Introduction 1 The Duality of Pride 1 Emotion and Character 2 The State of the Question 3 History and Philosophy Part 1 The History of Pride 2 Gods, Heroes and Men 1 The Warrior Aristocracy 2 The Olympic Games 3 The Panegyric of Democracy 4 The Myth of Prometheus 3 The Pride of Philosophers 1 The Philosopher-Kings 2 Greatness of Soul 3 Hubris, Outrage and Excess 4 Pride and Work 4 The Hubris of the Angel 1 The Problem of Sources 2 The Creation of the Angels 3 The Sin of the Angel 4 The Fall of the Angel 5 The Hubris of the Human 1 The State of Innocence 2 General Pride and Special Pride 3 Moral Humility and Spiritual Humility 4 Original Sin 5 The Implications of the Thomist Interpretation 6 Piety and Justice 1 The Four Stages of History 2 The Two Pillars of the Old Testament 3 The Exclusivity of the God of Israel 4 Orphans, Widows and Foreigners 7 Pride and Knowledge 1 The Devil’s Crony 2 The Curiosity of Doctor Faustus 3 The Plurality of Faustuses 4 Excess and Pride 5 The Condemnation and Salvation of Faustus Part 2 The Philosophy of Pride 8 The Virtue of Pride 1 From Myth to Lógos 2 Opinions, Desires, Emotions 3 The Passions of the Soul 4 Pride, Magnanimity and Humility 5 Pride and Dignity 9 Humility and Resentment 1 The Morality of Aristocrats and the Morality of Slaves 2 The Transvaluation of Values 3 Christian Humility, Resentment and Fraternity 4 The Ambiguities of Christian Morality 5 Nietzschean Love and Pride 10 The Pride of the Masses 1 Philosophy and Poetry 2 No-One Is More than any One 3 Resentment and Mass-Pride 11 Identity and Difference 1 Black Pride 2 lgbtiq+ Pride 3 Collective Pride 4 Science and Pride 12 The Phenomenology of Pride 1 The Essence of Pride 2 Variations of the Proximate Kind: Emotion 3 Variations of Subject and Material Object: Oneself 4 Variations of the Formal Object: Excellence 5 Variations of Modality: Order and Disorder Part 3 The Future of Pride 13 Post-pride 1 Infra-humanity and Post-humanity 2 Subhuman, Human and Superhuman Dignity 3 The Morality and Pride of Supermen 4 Fundamental Prideological Meditation 5 The Transvaluation of Pride Bibliography Index

Kon Acad Wetenschappen Letteren Getekend door het lichaam
Book SynopsisMensen veranderen voortdurend, zowel lichamelijk als geestelijk. Hoe is het desondanks mogelijk dat men er niet aan twijfelt dat men een en dezelfde persoon blijft? Hoe komt de eenheid van onze identiteit tot stand – of is die eenheid slechts illusie? In het klassieke filosofische denken ging men ervan uit dat de ziel borg stond voor onze persoonlijke continuïteit. Maar wat als met de opkomst van het moderne denken het bestaan van die ziel wordt aangevochten? Waar de Britse intellectuele wereld in de achttiende eeuw nog grondig verdeeld raakte over deze kwestie, lijkt men hierover vandaag de dag alvast een consensus te hebben bereikt: bijna iedere hedendaagse filosoof en wetenschapper gaat ervan uit dat er geen ziel bestaat. De vraag naar de oorsprong en grond van onze persoonsidentiteit wordt hiermee prangender dan ooit tevoren. Gregory De Vleeschouwer legt in dit boek de historische achtergrond van het filosofische debat over persoonsidentiteit bloot en laat zien op welke problemen dit debat stuit zolang men de rol van het lichaam negeert. Dankzij zijn lichaam wordt iedere baby meteen gezien als 'een van ons': in het laatste hoofdstuk toont de auteur aan dat dit intersubjectieve aspect onontbeerlijk is voor de totstandkoming van het menselijke zelfbewustzijn. Hierbij werpt hij tevens een nieuw licht op enkele klassieke filosofische gedachtenexperimenten (breintransplantaties, cyborgs, teletransportatie,...) en laat hij zien dat de mens in zijn afhankelijkheid van de ander juist allermenselijkst is.

Ediciones Lea #Piénsalo
Book SynopsisSeguramente alguna vez se te cruzaron por la mente preguntas “existenciales”: ¿quÉ es la vida?, ¿por quÉ morimos?, ¿quÉ es el amor?, ¿la felicidad es una ilusiÓn?, ¿hay realidades paralelas?, ¿los sentimientos son mentales?, ¿quÉ nos define como personas?, ¿existe dios?... De estas preguntas nace #PIÉNSALO, un recorrido por los 10 hits de la FilosofÍa desde sus orÍgenes hasta hoy. Hits que permanecen vivos desde hace siglos y respecto de los que aÚn no tenemos respuestas Únicas y definitivas. Vamos a cuestionar la existencia de la realidad, ingresaremos en nuestra mente para indagar si es lo mismo que cerebro, interceptaremos a las palabras que se articulan en lenguaje que abre cientos de enigmas, sentiremos ganas de encontrarle sentido a la vida y pensaremos acerca del amor que nos llevarÁ a pensar en la felicidad: ¿vale la pena el esfuerzo de ser felices? De allÍ veremos que la belleza y el arte nos rodean, y nos concentraremos en debatir sobre lo bello, nos detendremos en el clÁsico de la libertad, para preguntarnos si realmente hacemos lo que queremos o estamos cumpliendo un destino predeterminado para rematar en los tres casos del final que reflejarÁn con suerte algunas dudas que te inquietan, y te despertarÁn nuevas: la muerte, la existencia de dios y la definiciÓn de quÉ es ser persona. Todo esto amenizado por la obra de filÓsofos famosos de todos los tiempos y muchas referencias a pelÍculas, canciones, cÓmics y novelas. Eso sÍ, procurÉ no revelar muchos spoilers, pero te pido dis-culpas de antemano si en alguna ocasiÓn escribÍ de mÁs. ¿Empezamos? Mi nombre es TomÁs, estudiÉ FilosofÍa, doy clases de FilosofÍa y me encanta leer y escribir FilosofÍa. ¡Bienvenidas y bienvenidos a #PIÉNSALO!Everyone thinks about existential questions from time to time, questions like, What is life? Why do we die? What is love? Is happiness an illusion? This book is a journey through 10 major questions from the history of philosophy and also includes references to movies, songs, comics, and novels.

Oxford University Press Acquaintance New Essays
Book SynopsisBertrand Russell famously distinguished between ''knowledge by acquaintance'' and ''knowledge by description''. For much of the latter half of the twentieth century, many philosophers viewed the notion of acquaintance with suspicion, associating it with Russellian ideas that they would wish to reject. However in the past decade or two the concept has undergone a striking revival in mainstream ''analytic'' philosophy--acquaintance is, it seems, respectable again. This volume showcases the great variety of topics in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of language for which philosophers are currently employing the notion of acquaintance. It is the first collection of new essays devoted to the topic of acquaintance, featuring chapters from many of the world''s leading experts in this area. Opening with an extensive introductory essay, which provides some historical background and summarizes the main debates and issues concerning acquaintance, the remaining thirteen contributions are grouped thematically into four sections: phenomenal consciousness, perceptual experience, reference, and epistemology.Table of ContentsThomas Raleigh: Introduction: The Recent Renaissance of Acquaintance Part I: Phenomenal Consciousness 1: Joseph Levine: Consciousness is Acquaintance 2: Sam Coleman: Natural Acquaintance 3: Alex Grzankowski and Michael Tye: What Acquaintance Teaches 4: M.

Oxford University Press Free Imagination
Book SynopsisFree Imagination argues that the brain''s capacity to imagine is the fundamental basis of human Free Will. Laws of physics need not apply in our internal simulations, so virtually anything is possible there. And since some of our actions can follow from that which we imagine, especially from processes of deliberation that involve imagining possible scenarios and outcomes, our actions inherit the freedom of our imaginings. The creative power of the human imagination may have evolved as a consequence of the demodularization of neural circuitry associated with volitional attentional operations over operands downloadable into a mental workspace where, virtually, anything could be combined with anything else. This new cognitive architecture gave rise to the danger of psychosis. Our schizotypal form of imagination, arising from the promiscuous, generative and iterative combination of disencapsulated operators and operands in a mental workspace, may have evolved only in humans by exapting from existing motoric and other operations involved in volitional hand dexterity to a domain of premotoric simulation. What we imagine into existence can be used for good or evil. Imagination is therefore our greatest tool and weapon. When applied to ourselves, it allows us the possibility of reimagining and then transforming ourselves in light of second-order desires. This gives us the ability to choose to become a new kind of chooser in the future. Other animals lack this second-order Free Will; although they can do otherwise, they cannot want to become otherwise than they are, making them amoral. This book explores the idea that because humans, in contrast, have second-order Free Will, they can be moral or immoral.

Oxford University Press The Concept of Emotional Disorder
Book SynopsisDepression and anxiety are increasingly commonly diagnosed mental health conditions in modern society, but where does the boundary between ordinary emotional experiences and an emotional disorder lie? Do we over-pathologize emotional disorders as a society? Does the field of psychiatry do the same?Weighing in on this debate, Gloria Sibson Ayob investigates the concept of emotional disorder, analyses the grounds on which an emotional state can be said to be disordered, and examines judgements of emotional health and pathology. The Concept of Emotional Disorder considers the evolution-theoretic framework currently used to explore the concept of emotional disorder, and its limitations, and offers an alternative analysis anchored in a conceptual-anthropological framework. Understanding the place of emotions, especially distressing and unpleasant ones in our lives, is essential to the pathologizing debate. By highlighting the role human values and concerns play in shaping emotional disorder and introducing new considerations that are key to the concept of emotional disorder, Sibson Ayob enriches our understanding of the value of emotions in human life and their conceptual structure.

Princeton University Press The Symptom and the Subject The Emergence of the
Book SynopsisThe Symptom and the Subject takes an in-depth look at how the physical body first emerged in the West as both an object of knowledge and a mysterious part of the self. Beginning with Homer, moving through classical-era medical treatises, and closing with studies of early ethical philosophy and Euripidean tragedy, this book rewrites the traditionalTrade Review"Brooke Holmes' volume is a wonderful read that would be enjoyed not only by scholars but also by people interested in the history of ideas in the Greek world. I also think that such a work must be a source for any future analysis of the concepts of person, soul, and body in Greek philosophy and literature."--Octavian Gabor, Bryn Mawr Classical Review "Historians of ancient medicine and scholars of Greek tragedy will find this carefully documented book of great interest."--M. Lynn Rose, American Historical Review "This is not the type of book one can read in a single sitting; rather, it is a work one will want to study, reread, and revisit over a period of time. It will no doubt become a point of reference for anyone interested in the body in the ancient world."--Laurence Totelin, Isis "This is a splendid book, deeply researched and meticulously executed; it is also compact, complex, and defiant of efforts to summarize."--Ann Ellis Hanson, New England Classical Journal "The book is a remarkable example of scholarship, and ought to be welcomed by ancient philosophers, particularly those who work in moral psychology and embodiment."--Aaron James Landry, Philosophy in Review "[A]mbitious and compelling... [R]ichly provocative."--Joel Alden Schlosser, Foucault Studies "Holmes has written a wide-ranging and thorough book on the emergence of the concept of the body as a physical object in Ancient Greece. The primary and secondary sources consulted are extensive ... making this work most useful for a scholar already knowledgeable in the body soul argument. The language used and the concepts raised make for intense reading at times, but this book provides a systematic analysis of the concept of the body, a frequently ignored part of a significant Greek belief: the body-soul dichotomy."--Miriam Bissett, Prudentia Offprint "Holmes provides a timely new avenue for putting ancient medicine centrally on the map of classical Greek thought... Specialists in ancient medicine should be glad to have such an articulate and intelligent advocate trying not only to bridge the gaps among subfields of Hellenic studies but making connections to Foucault and the 'mind-body problem' that we have inherited ... from Plato and Descartes."--Susan H. Prince, Aestimatio "[I]t is a richly argued and instructive work... [I]ts value lies in its synthesis and breadth of the sources. The material Holmes has gathered, not only medical and philosophical, but also literary, backed by solid bibliographical reference throughout and presented through a thorough examination, is impressive, making the volume a stimulating read from a variety of perspectives."--Chiara Thumiger, Classical WorldTable of ContentsPreface and Acknowledgments ix Abbreviations xiii Note on Transliterations and Translations xxiii INTRODUCTION 1 Symptoms and Subjects 1 Seeing through Symptoms 9 The Physical Imagination 19 Rethinking S?ma and Psukh? 29 Telling Stories 37 CHAPTER ONE: Before the Physical Body 41 Daemonic Violence 48 The Seen and the Felt 58 The Boundaries of the Felt 64 Fear and the Visual Field of the Self 69 How Gods Act 73 The Seen Body and Social Agency 76 Interpreting Disease and Practices of Healing 79 CHAPTER TWO: The Inquiry into Nature and the Physical Imagination 84 Depersonalizing Causes 90 Natural Justice 95 Melissus and the Denial of Body 101 A Community of Objects 108 Bodies, Persons, Knowledge 116 CHAPTER THREE: Incorporating the Daemonic 121 Symptoms at the Th reshold of Seen and Unseen 126 The Interval 130 Explaining Disease 133 The Dynamics of the Cavity 138 The Automatic Body 142 CHAPTER FOUR: Signs of Life and Techniques of Taking Care 148 The Prognostic Symptom: Forces of Life and Death 150 Fragile Life 156 On Ancient Medicine and the Discovery of Human Nature 162 Embodiment, Knowledge, and Technical Agency 171 Taking Care 177 Shoring Up the Self 182 CHAPTER FIVE: Beyond the S?ma: Therapies of the Psukh? 192 Bodily Needs 196 Psychic Desires 202 Gorgias's Encomium to Helen and Human Diseases 211 Psychic Disorder in Democritus 216 CHAPTER SIX: Forces of Nature, Acts of Gods: Euripides' Symptoms 228 The Polysemy of the Symptom 233 Tragedy and the Interval 239 Euripides' Causes: Th e Madness of Heracles 242 Euripides' Causes: Th e Madness of Orestes 246 Realizing Disease in the Hippolytus 252 Daemonic Phusis 260 The Semantics of Suff ering 265 Conclusion 275 Bibliography 281 Index Locorum 325 General Index 349

Liverpool University Press Exploring Reality and Its Uncertainties
Book SynopsisUsing the combined tools of science, philosophy and the social sciences, the author sets out to explore the numerous facets of what we understand reality to mean. Close attention is given to the human side, especially to the individual experience of reality as manifested through personality, cognitive power, self-consciousness, and rationalistic and communicative endowments. This micro analysis is contrasted with a macro world view, encompassing our understanding of, and observation of, the outer edges of the universe, and how different levels (scientific and lay) of understanding impact on our relative perception of this particular reality. Three pivotal arguments sustain the micro/macro examination parameters outlined above. First, is the need to view reality in terms of uncertainty. We perennially encounter uncertainty since reality is riddled through with chance, even in the case of deliberate choice of action ostensibly based on rationality, yet unavoidably affected by chance. Second, the limits of knowledge and constant uncertainty means that mankind must always live with the unknown and the unpredictable. Third, it is the human being, whether scientist or layperson, who creates the knowledge and its application to the experience of life, which in turn contributes to the creation of new realities. These complex and infinite processes are difficult to fathom at the personal level, and fraught with challenges for scientists, philosophers and social scientists. But given the centrality of reality to our everyday experience and social intercourse -- for the individual has to face the world, interact with other people and survive -- its importance cannot be underestimated. Ernest Krausz provides the philosophy platform to analyse the complex social interactions of human beings as they wrestle with the reality of everyday life, yet observe the vastness and uncertainty of their galaxy and beyond.Table of ContentsWhat is Reality?; Human Knowledge & Uncertainty; The Cosmos: From Evidence to Speculation; The Individual Facing the World; The Elements of Rationality & Chance in the Choice of Human Action; The Human Condition -- Does Reality Change?; Index.

Springer International Publishing AG Hume on the Self and Personal Identity
Book SynopsisThis book brings together a team of international scholars to attempt to understand David Hume’s conception of the self. The standard interpretation is that he holds a no-self view: we are just bundles of conscious experiences, thoughts and emotions. There is nothing deeper to us, no core, no essence, no soul. In the Appendix to A Treatise of Human Nature, though, Hume admits to being dissatisfied with such an account and Part One of this book explores why this might be so. Part Two turns to Books 2 and 3 of the Treatise, where Hume moves away from the ‘fiction’ of a simple self, to the complex idea we have of our flesh and blood selves, those with emotional lives, practical goals, and social relations with others. In Part Three connections are traced between Hume and Madhyamaka Buddhism, Husserl and the phenomenological tradition, and contemporary cognitive science.Table of ContentsPart 1: I The Self in Treatise Book 1.- 1.
