Oxford University Press Saint Foucault Towards a Gay Hagiography Towards a Gay Hagiography
Trade ReviewPassionate, comprehensive, and personal defence against attacks on the Franco-Californian sage's ideas and personal life - and on Halperin's own. Strongly recommended, both as a thorough introduction to Foucault and current issues, and for many intriguing ideas and observations by the author. * Alan Sinfield, Gay Times, October 1995 *Seeks to rescue Foucault from his critics and to portray him as a model of an engaged gay life, an attempt that requires a certain intellectual sleight of hand and close reading of the sort Halperin excels at. The book is remarkably engaging, combining elements of both brilliance and silliness. * Arena Magazine *a provocative read ... Halperin's book is highly engaging. * Times Higher Education Supplement *

Clarendon Press Stanley Cavell
Book SynopsisStephen Mulhall presents the first full-length philosophical study of the work of Stanley Cavell, best known for his highly influential contributions to the fields of film studies, Shakespearian literary criticism, and the confluence of psychoanalysis and literary theory. It is not properly appreciated that Cavell''s project originated in his interpretation of Austin''s and Wittgenstein''s philosophical interest in the criteria governing ordinary language, and is given unity by an abiding concern with the nature and the varying cultural manifestations of the sceptical impulse in modernity. This book elucidates the essentially philosophical roots and trajectory of Cavell''s work, traces its links with Romanticism and its recent turn towards a species of moral pefectionism associated with Thoreau and Emerson, and concludes with an assessment of its relations to liberal-democratic political theory, Christian religious thought, and feminist literary studies. It will be of interest to anyonTrade ReviewDespite what his book's title might suggest, Stephen Mulhall's thorough explication of Stanley Cavell's philosophy is anything but ordinary. At the outset Mulhall makes it clear that he intends to address Cavell's exceptional formidability, and set himself `not to attempt to do what can and must only be done by Cavell's own prose, but to clear the space that is required for it to do so'....to Mulhall's credit...he has cleared the space for such a return. * Philosophy and Literature *Table of ContentsPART I: PATTERNS, AGREEMENT, AND RATIONALITY ; PART II: CRITERIA, SCEPTICISM, AND ROMANTICISM ; PART III: COMMON THEMES, COMPETING PERSPECTIVES ; PART IV: PHILOSOPHY, PEFECTIONISM, AND RELIGION

Clarendon Press History as ReEnactment
Book SynopsisA central motif of R. G. Collingwood''s philosophy of history is the idea that historical understanding requires a re-enactment of past experience. However, there have been sharp disagreements about the acceptability of this idea, and even its meaning. This book aims to advance the critical discussion in three ways: by analysing the idea itself further, concentrating especially on the contrast which Collingwood drew between it and scientific understanding; by exploring the limits of its applicability to what historians ordinarily consider their proper subject-matter; and by clarifying the relationship between it and some other key Collingwoodian ideas, such as the place of imagination in historical inquiry, the sense in which history deals with the individual, the essential perspectivity of historical judgement, and the importance of narrative and periodization in historical thinking. Professor Dray defends Collingwood against a good deal of recent criticism, while pointing to ways in Trade ReviewDray is a very careful writer, and his analysis of Collingwood's philosophy of history is unparalleled in its scope and in its balance. Dray is also a very clear writer, and the book is well organized ... this is a fine study, perhaps the single best account of the pertinent ideas of this century's most eminent philosopher of history. * Rex Martin, American Historical Review *It is something of an event then, to have his new work, the culmination of a lifetime of thought, appear in his retirement. As one would expect, it is a deeply considered book, lucidly written, and scrupulously fair to all parties. ... a sound and serious philosophical commentary, and anyone interested in either Collingwood or the philosophy of history should consider joining the dialogue and will learn much in the process. * Canadian Journal of History, April 1997 *Table of Contents1.

Clarendon Press Stanislaw Brzozowski and the Polish Beginnings of Western Marxism
Book SynopsisThis book introduces the English-speaking reader to the thought of Stanislaw Brzozowski (1878-1911), the outstanding Polish philosopher and literary critic. Although practically unknown in the West, Brzozowski is an important but neglected forerunner of the intellectual tradition of `Western Marxism'', most commonly associated with Georg Lukács and Antonio Gramsci.Concentrating first on the early phase of Brzozowski''s thought, Professor Walicki goes on to analyse his ideas on the working class and its relation to the intelligentsia and contemporary working-class ideologies. Finally he deals with aspects of his thought which go beyond the Marxian problematic and round off the intellectual portrait of the man.Brzozowski''s anti-naturalistic approach resulted in a radical reinterpretation of Marxism which dealt with many of the problems of the revolt against positivism in European philosophy. Professor Walicki argues that the retrieval of the philosophical and humanist aspect of Marxism,Table of ContentsBiographical note; On some specific features of early Polish Marxism; `Scientific Marxism' and `Philosophy of action': The early phase of Brzozowski's thought; The critique of `Scientific Marxism'; Idealism as philosophy of action; The first outline of a new interpretation of Marxism; Marxism as an Anti-Engelsian `Philosophy of Labour': Knowledge, nature, and history; The ideal of autocreation; The encounter with the Russian `Neo-Marxists'; Beyond marxism: From anti-Engelsian Marxism to a re-evaluation of Marx's thought: New inspirations and confrontations; The further development of Brzozowski's `Philosophy of Labour'; Continuity and change in Brzozowski's thought; The intelligentsia and the working class: Different conceptions of the intelligentsia and its calling; The intelligentsia and revolution; The paradoxes of the intelligentsia; The working class, socialism, and syndicalism; The working class and the nation; Culture and Society: Individualism and sociologism; The social tasks of art and literary criticism; Sociological criticism and the critique of sociology; The illusion of consciousness; National cultures; Religion: From religious individualism to militant atheism; The greatness and weakness of Catholicism; Towards transcendence; Instead of a conclusion; Brzozowski's works

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ludwig Klages and the Philosophy of Life
This book provides a unique overview of and introduction to the work of the German psychologist and philosopher Ludwig Klages (1872-1956), an astonishing figure in the history of German ideas. Central to intellectual life in turn-of-the-century Munich, he went on to establish a reputation for himself as an original and provocative thinker. Nowadays he is often overlooked, partly because of the absence of an accessible and authoritative introduction to his thought; this volume offers just such a point of entry. With an emphasis on applicability and utility, Paul Bishop reinvigorates the discourse surrounding Klages, providing a neutral and compact account of his intellectual development and his impact on psychology and philosophy.Part 1 offers an overview of Klages's life, visiting the major stations of his intellectual development. Part 2 examines in turn nine major conceptual tools' found in Klages's extensive writings, aiming to clarify Klages's terminology, to demys

Taylor & Francis Ltd Wittgensteins Moral Thought Routledge Studies in
Book SynopsisWittgensteinâs work, early and later, contains the seeds of an original and important rethinking of moral or ethical thought that has, so far, yet to be fully appreciated. The ten essays in this collection, all specially commissioned for this volume, are united in the claim that Wittgensteinâs thought has much to contribute to our understanding of this fundamental area of philosophy and of our lives. They take up a variety of different perspectives on this aspect of Wittgensteinâs work, and explore the significance of Wittgensteinâs moral thought throughout his work, from the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, and Wittgensteinâs startling claim there that there can be no ethical propositions, to the Philosophical Investigations.Table of ContentsIntroductionReshef Agam-Segal and Edmund Dain1 Wittgenstein’s Moral ThoughtEdmund Dain2 Wittgenstein, Ethics and Philosophical ClarificationOskari Kuusela3 Moral Thought in Wittgenstein: Clarity and Changes in AttitudeReshef Agam-Segal4 Logic, Ethics and Existence in Wittgenstein’s TractatusEli Friedlander5 Logic, Ethics, Aesthetics: Wittgenstein and the TranscendentalKristin Boyce6 Sketches of Blurred Landscapes: Wittgenstein and EthicsDuncan Richter7 ‘What is Ethical Cannot be Taught’ – Moral Theories as Descriptions of GrammarAnne-Marie Søndergaard Christensen8 Perception, Perspectives, and Moral Necessity: Wittgenstein, Winch, and the Good SamaritanMartin Gustafsson9 An "Exclusively Self-Regarding" Ethics: Response to SlugaKevin M.
