Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo A Sociological Agora: Master Lectures from Poland
Book SynopsisIn the midst of a pandemic, the Jagiellonian University's Institute of Sociology (in collaboration with its Interdisciplinary Center for Socio-Legal Analyses as well as the Polish Sociological Association) organized a series of Master Lectures. Presented virtually and open to the general public, these meetings with eminent Polish scholars addressed the most crucial and tenacious issues of our times. Active in their homeland as well as globally, the speakers are recognized specialists in sociology, jurisprudence, history, social work, and political science. The format encompassed a lecture followed by an online discussion with all interested attendees; the texts found herein comprise the fruits of those encounters. Disregarding geographic, temporal, and physical divides, this cyberagora created a space in which masters could find themselves amidst colleagues and students, sharing ideas, views, and experiences drawn from various academic disciplines and social milieux.

Aarhus University Press Poetic Inclination: Ethics, History, Philosophy
Book SynopsisPhilosophy originates in wonder that generates sensitive thinking, also called ‘aesthetic thinking’—an expanded mode of thought that bridges and dissolves contradictions. This book questions the disregard for such thinking in modern society, including the neglect of it in most educational institutions and contemporary research. It describes what it means to think in an aesthetic way when ‘aesthetic’ is synonymous with ‘sensitive’ (not ‘sensuous’), including how such thinking may foster human well-being and develop our notions of history, hospitality, freedom, and the good life. The formative nature of aesthetic thinking is presented alongside the attestation of its relevance in many disciplines and a broad spectrum of society—in border studies, education policy, and social work, and in life in general.Poetic Inclinations: Ethics, History, Philosophy is related to the simultaneously published monograph Imaginative Moods: Aesthetics, Religion, Philosophy. Together they constitute a comprehensive presentation in English of the author’s philosophy of experience, which includes new ways of conceiving of and applying aesthetics, hermeneutics, and phenomenology, and of integrating these disciplines, as well as theology.

Aarhus University Press Imaginative Moods: Aesthetics, Religion,
Book SynopsisFollowing modern and postmodern philosophy’s critique of metaphysics, experiences of transcendence are often considered ‘aesthetic’ rather than ‘metaphysical.’ However, aesthetics is mostly identified with the study of art, and aesthetic phenomena are considered particularly sensuous. This book criticizes such an approach to aesthetics, which has led many philosophers and theologians to neglect or reject aesthetics as a philosophical or theological discipline. It demonstrates how contemporary philosophy and theology may benefit from studying the mind-opening and world-transformative nature of our experiences of transcendence. In addition, it presents the significance of such experiences for the understanding of, for example, art, faith, prayer, presence, beauty, sensitivity, imagination, receptivity, and divinity. Imaginative Moods: Aesthetics, Religion, Philosophy is related to the simultaneously published monograph Poetic Inclinations: Ethics, History, Philosophy. Together they constitute a comprehensive presentation in English of the author’s philosophy of experience, which includes new ways of conceiving of and applying aesthetics, hermeneutics, and phenomenology, and of integrating these disciplines, as well as theology.

Mimesis International PPPP: Pier Paolo Pasolini Philosopher
Book SynopsisOne hundred years after the birth of Pier Paolo Pasolini, his oeuvre might best be described as une pensee, as a meandering thought-provoking thought, to quote Jean-Luc Godard's exceptional comment on Pasolini in Histoire(s) du cinema. Pasolini scholarship has certainly increased in recent years, but mainly from the perspective of Italian Studies and with a particular focus on his poetry, prose and film. The proposed volume instead highlights the interest of his work for the history of twentieth-century philosophy. It therefore compiles key writings by philosophers who are relatively unknown even within the context of contemporary French and Italian thought. By collecting little known or newly translated essays from these philosophers, the volume aims to foster a contemporary discussion about the (in-)actuality of Pasolini's work.

Brill Foucault and Animals
Book SynopsisFoucault and Animals is the first collection of its kind to explore the relevance of Michel Foucault’s thought for the question of the animal. Chrulew and Wadiwel bring together essays from emerging and established scholars that illuminate the place of animals and animality within Foucault’s texts, and open up his highly influential range of concepts and methods to different domains of human-animal relations including experimentation, training, zoological gardens, pet-keeping, agriculture, and consumption. Touching on themes such as madness and discourse, power and biopolitics, government and ethics, and sexuality and friendship, the volume takes the fields of Foucault studies and human-animal studies into promising new directions.Table of ContentsForeword List of Contributors Editor’s Introduction: Foucault and Animals, Matthew Chrulew and Dinesh Wadiwel Part One: Discourse and Madness 1.

Peeters Publishers Religie En Metafoor: Over Het Relativisme Van Het
Book SynopsisIndien metaforen vensters zijn die ons uitzicht bieden op de werkelijkheid, dan schijnen zij ons tegelijk te confronteren met hun eigen beperktheid. In het verkregen uitzicht vermoedt men immers meteen ook andere mogelijke perspectieven op diezelfde werkelijkheid. Uit deze stand van zaken trekt men hedentendage soms maar al te graag relativistische besluiten. Alle metaforen verschijnen dan als gelijkwaardig en inwisselbaar. Wanneer dit relativisme van de metafoor ook doorwerking vindt op het religieuze vlak, dan laten de gevolgen zich raden: ieder zijn eigen 'beeldje' van God. In deze studie poogt de auteur aan dit relativisme te weerstaan door de metafoor terug te koppelen naar de praktijk van het (religieuze) leven. Sommige metaforen reguleren het leven en worden door dat leven geabsorbeerd. Dit is slechts mogelijk omdat metaforen een soort praktische, stilzwijgende kennis herbergen en overdragen. Walter Van Herck (1962) is doctor in de wijsbegeerte. Hij is als onderzoeksmedewerker verbonden aan de Vakgroep Filosofie van de Universiteit Antwerpen (UFSIA) en als deeltijdse lector aan de Karel de Grote-Hogeschool (Departement Sociaal-agogisch werk) te Antwerpen.
