Peeters Publishers Een Kritiek Van Het Oneindige: Rosenzweig En
Book SynopsisRosenzweig en Levinas zijn twee belangrijke vertegenwoordigers van het joodse dialogische denken. Bij de aanvang van de twintigste eeuw vroeg deze stroming aandacht voor de intersubjectieve relatie. De ik-jij relatie werd immers in de moderne wijsbegeerte verdrongen door het primaat van de subject-object relatie. Dit leidde tot een eendimensioneel of totalitair denken. De verkenning van de verhouding tot het oneindige reikt radicaal nieuwe perspectieven aan. Het vormt een breukmoment met de gangbare vormen van denken. De taal, de tijd en de andere zijn belangrijke aandachtspunten voor het nieuwe denken van Rosenzweig en Levinas. De verhouding tussen de subjectiviteit, de intersubjectiviteit en de objectiviteit structureren dit vertoog. De alteriteit krijgt voorrang op de identiteit. Dit nieuwe denken roept echter serieuze vragen op. Hoe is een denken van de ander mogelijk zonder het aanvaarden van een symmetrie tussen mezelf en de ander? Welke zijn de verzwegen vooronderstellingen van dit denken? Deze vragen leiden tot een kritisch onderzoek dat de grenzen van het dialogische denken behoedzaam aftast. Dit onderzoek is tevens de uitdrukking van een waardering voor de sterke inspiratiekracht van het dialogische denken. Het manuscript werd in 1998 met goud bekroond door het Teyler's Genootschap van Haarlem.

Peeters Publishers Rationaliteit En Religieus Vertrouwen
Book SynopsisBevat het religieuze discours aanspraken die vergelijkbaar zijn met de aanspraken die in strict cognitieve contexten, zoals wetenschap, gemaakt worden? Is van het spreken over religieuze fenomenen, en van het religieuze spreken, in enige zin een rechtvaardiging mogelijk die men kan vergelijken met de manier waarop wetenschappelijke of alledaagse overtuigingen zich lenen tot rechtvaardiging? Hoe zou zo'n rechtvaardiging er moeten uitzien? De bijdragen in deze bundel cirkelen rond deze vragen. De hefboom wordt echter ook dieper aangezet. Is het element van overtuiging (belief) of geloofsinhoud, dat aanwezig lijkt in de meeste vormen van religiositeit, de grond voor andere aspecten zoals de religieuze praktijk en houdingen? Of zijn andersom de praktijken en (vertrouwvolle) houdingen de grond waarop religieuze overtuigingen eerst kunnen bloeien? Naast werk van Vlaamse auteurs, werden ook vertaalde artikelen opgenomen van D.Z. Philips en Alvin Plantinga. Paul Cortois (1954) is doctor in de wijsbegeerte. Momenteel is hij verbonden aan het Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte (KU Leuven) en aan de Vakgroep Filosofie van de Universiteit Antwerpen (UFSIA). Walter Van Herck (1962) is doctor in de wijsbegeerte. Hij is verbonden aan de Vakgroep Filosofie van de Universiteit Antwerpen (UFSIA) en aan de Karel de Grote-Hogeschool Antwerpen.

Peeters Publishers Irrationaliteit: Over Handelen Tegen Beter Weten
Book SynopsisIrrationaliteit is slechts bedoeld voor wie rationaliteit ernstig neemt. Wie niet aanneemt dat de mens zich doorgaans rationeel gedraagt, verzeilt snel in een te gemakkelijk irrationalisme. Dit boek vermijdt deze klip door eerst geduldig uiteen te zetten wat onder rationaliteit verstaan wordt. Daarna komen de twee fenomenen aan bod die in de analytische antropologie beschouwd worden als schoolvoorbeelden van alledaagse irrationaliteit : handelen tegen zijn beter oordeel in (akrasia) en zelfbedrog. In de beschrijving en analyse van deze fenomenen wordt veel aandacht besteed aan de vraag waarom ze zo problematisch zijn dat sommigen zelfs het bestaan ervan ontkennen, en worden de mogelijke reacties op hun problematisch karakter systematisch in kaart gebracht. Pas aan het einde wordt de mogelijkheid geopperd dat deze twee irrationele fenomenen wel eens constructief zouden kunnen zijn voor het mens-zijn. Xavier Vanmechelen is doctor in de wijsbegeerte. Momenteel is hij als wetenschappelijk onderzoeker werkzaam aan het Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte (K.U. Leuven). Hij publiceerde artikels in het domein van de theorie van de rationaliteit, de handelingstheorie en de sociale filosofie.

Peeters Publishers Visualizing Utopia
Book SynopsisThis volume contains the essays presented at the workshop 'Visualizing Utopia' held in May 2005, organized by Mary Kemperink and Willemien Roenhorst. The essays presented here discuss utopian thinking from 1890 until 1930. From the end of the eighteenth century, this utopian thinking developed from what can be called 'classic' utopianism into 'modern' utopianism. Utopianism unmarked by temporality made way for a tale situated in time - future time. Thus what was first regarded as merely a thought experiment gradually assumed the character of a real political programme. In their view of the new world and new people, writers, artists, architects, social reformers, cultural critics, politicians, etc., would often draw on representations already present in the culture. These could be biblical representations, such as those of the Apocalypse, Christ the Saviour and earthly paradise, or ancient myths, such as those of the Age of Gold, Arcadia, the sun-drenched world of Gnosticism and the Wagnerian mythological universe. The workshop concentrated on the following two aspects: the way in which the future Utopia and the path that would lead to its realization was given shape in the artistic field as well as in the non-artistic field, and the question to which culturally rooted concepts these representations were related. This double line of approach created the opportunity for specialized researchers from different disciplines - history, cultural history, art history, history of architecture, literary history - to discuss utopianism as it manifested itself in Europe and the United States at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century.

Peeters Publishers Le Darwinisme
Book SynopsisCharles Darwin marque profondement la culture occidentale, bien au-dela des sciences de la vie. Son ouvrage L'origine des especes non seulement revolutionne le monde scientifique en proposant une theorie coherente de l'evolution biologique, mais il bouscule les grands systemes de pensee qui dominent son epoque. Ses ouvrages posterieurs concernent le comportement humain et elargissent encore considerablement la portee philosophique de ses positions. Comment comprendre le personnage de Darwin lui-meme? Quelles sont les idees centrales de son apport scientifique? Comment interpreter l'evolution de sa pensee tout au long de son ouvre gigantesque? Comment analyser les enjeux philosophiques et societaux de tels apports? Michael Ruse, historien et philosophe des sciences, est un des meilleurs connaisseurs mondiaux du darwinisme. Il propose ici un ouvrage de grande ampleur. Dans un style dynamique, qui preserve toute sa faconde et son humour, Michael Ruse nous confie les reflexions d'un chercheur chevronne qui integre dans une synthese magistrale les conclusions de trente annees de recherche nourries par une culture scientifique et historique impressionnante.

Peeters Publishers Bergson professeur: Actes du colloque
Book SynopsisBergson Professeur rassemble les actes d'un colloque international qui s'est tenu à Paris, à l’École Normale Supérieure, en novembre 2010. On y trouve les contributions des meilleurs bergsoniens contemporains sur un thème habituellement peu traité : le rôle exact des cours de Bergson et des notes de cours relativement à ses ouvrages publiés. Ce volume vient ainsi combler un manque dans les publications académiques sur Bergson, puisqu'il permet de restituer, dans le sillage des travaux engagés il y a deux décennies par Henri Hude, ce qui est trop souvent considéré comme la part la moins importante de sa philosophie. En tentant de faire entendre de nouveau la voix vivante du professeur Bergson, ce travail ne rend donc pas seulement un hommage au maître admiré par tous ses auditeurs, il nous fait entrer, comme par effraction, dans l’atelier où, à n’en pas douter, furent mises au point plusieurs des grandes trouvailles d’un génie philosophique.

Peeters Publishers Le paradoxe de la condition humaine selon Hannah
Book SynopsisLe présent ouvrage propose une étude systématique de la conception de la condition humaine contenue dans Condition de l’homme moderne de H. Arendt. Il en éclaire l’orientation, à la fois par rapport à la tradition ancienne et classique de la philosophie et par rapport au contexte immédiat de la phénoménologie et de l’existentialisme contemporains. Il met en évidence une structure de la condition humaine, un agencement des différentes conditions qui la composent et l’accent mis par Arendt sur un pluriel de conditions de base plus que sur les traits généraux habituellement mis en avant (la finitude, la mortalité). Outre la triade bien connue des trois activités fondamentales, le travail, l’÷uvre, l’action, il explicite une triade d’activités mentales, l’intelligence, la connaissance et la pensée. Il examine le statut de la pensée dans la condition humaine et le paradoxe de sa capacité de retrait par rapport à elle. La conception arendtienne de la condition humaine, non dépassée à ce jour, est une référence capitale pour l’humanité, aujourd’hui inquiète de l’avenir de son monde. La version allemande du livre de Arendt, remaniée par rapport à l’édition anglaise originale, est prise en compte.

Leuven University Press The Assassination of Experience by Painting,
Book SynopsisFinal volume in the series 'Jean-François Lyotard: Ecrits sur l'art contemporain et les artistes / Writings on Contemporary Art and Artists'!Lyotard met Jacques Monory in 1972, and the text on him published at that time was the first that Lyotard dedicated to contemporary art since Discourse, Figure. Lyotard's interest in the plastic arts thus fits fully within the setting of his political preoccupations. The artist-protagonist stages the recurring motifs that fascinate Lyotard: the scene of the crime, the revolver, the woman, the victim, glaciers, deserts, stars. The atmosphere of the essays on Monory is "Californian". Monory's imaginary repertoire goes well beyond the masters of modernity and is in line rather with a "modern contemporary surrealism". Both Lyotard and Monory live the "dilemma of Americanisation", the America represented by cinema, fashion, novels, music. It is in this atmosphere that Lyotard and Monory will finally evoke their supreme experience of difference: desire and fear, exultation and a profound malaise. The plastic universe of Monory and the aesthetic meditations of Lyotard are in perfect symbiosis. Sarah Wilson's epilogue thoroughly outlines both the history of a friendship, and at the same time the intellectual and artistic climate of the nineteen-seventies.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Trade ReviewGrâce à l'excellent appareil critique de cette nouvelle édition, qui ajoute une préface à une édition bilingue parue à Londres en 1998, elle-même reprenant l'édition des deux textes précédés d'une préface rédigée en 1981 par Jean-François Lyotard lui-même, le lecteur peut aisément s'imprégner de la pensée du philosophe et méditer sur ses conclusions, toujours pertinentes.Vanessa Morisset, « Jean-François Lyotard, L'Assassinat de l'expérience par la peinture : Monory », Critique d'art [En ligne], URL : http://critiquedart.revues.org/13441Table of ContentsHerman Parret:Préface / PrefaceJean-François Lyotard:L’assassinat de l’expérience par la peinture, MonoryThe Assassination of Experience by Painting, MonoryL’expertiseExpertiseÉconomie libidinale du dandyLibidinal Economy of the Dandy L’invasion / The invasion Le bleu / Blue Le catalogue / The catalogue Le dispositif / The set-up Le dandysme / Dandyism Deux morts / Two dead La libido du travail et capital / The libido of work and capital La libido de peindre / The libido of painting Économie de la peinture dandy / Economy of dandy paintingEsthétique sublime du tueur à gagesSublime Aesthetic of the Contract Killer Le mélancolique / The melancholic Le tueur à gages / The contract killer L’appointé / The appointed one L’apathique / The apathetic L’instantané / The instantaneous Le réaliste / The realist Le positif / The positive Le sublime immanent, ou l’expérimental / The immanent sublime, or the experimentalSarah Wilson:Postface /EpilogueIllustrations

Amsterdam University Press Neorealist Film Culture, 1945-1954: Rome, Open
Book SynopsisUnique, truthful, brutal... Neorealism is often associated with adjectives stressing its peculiarities in representing the real, its lack of antecedents, and its legacy in terms of film style. While this is useful when confronting auteurs such as De Sica, Rossellini or Visconti, it becomes problematic when examining a widespread cultural practice that realistic modes deeply affected. This cultural production included filmmaking, literature, visual culture and photography, as well as media discourses. It was internally contradictory but fruitful inasmuch as its legacy influenced national culture for many decades to come. The volume spotlights post-war Italian film culture by locating a series of crossroads, i.e. topics barely examined when discussing neorealism: nation, memory and trauma, visual culture, stardom, and performance. The aim is to deconstruct neorealism as a monument and to open up its cultural history.Trade Review"If you think you know everything there is to know (or wish to know) about neo-realism, prepare to be surprised. The latest book by Francesco Pitassio, professor of film studies at the University of Udine, will do just that. [...] Published with great editorial care, this beautifully illustrated volume, featuring 31 images in black and white and nine in colour, is an exceptional achievement. [...] Remarkably rich with references to debates and other scholars’ insights, Pitassio’s dense book has the merit of allowing multiple points of entry. Detailed and complex when it needs to be, it frequently summarizes its own argument and provides synoptic chapter abstracts and conclusions that help the reader absorb the wealth of references and discussions. Some books tend to settle debates once for all, and in the process become dead ends. Pitassio’s Neorealist Film Culture opens countless venues for engagement and future research. It will do this for years to come."- Giorgio Bertellini, Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies, Volume 10 Number 1 (2022) "An extremely original and fascinating account, a substantial advancement into this field, a labyrinthic exploration of an expanded and exploded universe."- Andrea Mariani, Universit a degli Studi di Udine, Italy, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, Vol. 41, No. 3 (2021) "Riding this exciting new wave in cultural historiography, Leavitt and Pitassio’s books on Italian neorealism set an important standard for historical research within film studies. They should be compulsory reading for emerging scholars in search of innovative approaches to film studies worldwide."- Luca Caminati (Concordia University), Canadian Journal of Film Studies 2021 (joint review) "Pitassio shows how the traumatic national past is engaged in films [...] several of which were made by directors who were very compromised with the Fascist regime, thus demonstrating the complex entanglements of the post-war period. Particularly striking is his reading of male disabled bodies as metaphors for national trauma in a range of contemporary documentaries. Pitassio thus adds important nuance to discussions of Italy’s failure to account for its Fascist past, and the central role within that of damaged masculinity as a trope."- Catherine O'Rawe, Bristol University, Modern Language Review 116, 4 (2021) "Is there in fact yet more that could be said about neorealism? The sensationalist publicity materials that Pitassio discusses in Chapter 3 indicate how the question of feeling is so little understood in relation to neorealist film culture, being too often marginalized, despite its fundamental importance to how national identity or collective memory are constructed, let alone its relevance to filmgoing and the popular audience. From this should arise further developments of film’s role in relation to culture, history and subjectivity. These suggestions all indicate the potential for continued discussion of the neorealist moment in cinema, an enterprise in which this volume is assured of its place."- Louis Bayman, Screen, Volume 61, Issue 3, Autumn 2020 "Francesco Pitassio's Neorealist Film Culture, 1945-1954 constitutes an extremely valuable contribution that promises to enliven the debate on neorealism well beyond Italian film studies. The importance of this work is in reshaping many of these debates and their relevance to transnational cinema studies."- Giuseppe Fidotta, Transnational Screens (2020) "One can be sure that the outstanding qualities of this book will soon turn it into a real classic, both in the specific domain of Neorealist cinema and in the broader domain of film and cultural studies in general."- Jan Baetens, Cultural Studies Leuven (2020)Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction An Uncertain Direction.

Double 9 Booksllp Beyond Good And Evil
Book SynopsisFriedrich Nietzsche's philosophical work Beyond Good and Evil questions conventional morality and intellectual assumptions. According to Nietzsche, conventional morality, which is founded on cultural and religious conventions, is constrictive and inhibits people from completely expressing who they really are. According to Nietzsche's will to power theory, people naturally want to use their power and influence to influence others. He also presents the notion of the superman, a mythical being free to choose their own moral standards and transcend conventional morality. Nietzsche criticises standard philosophical notions like the concept of truth and the notion of free will throughout the whole book. He contends that reality is relative and dependent on one's viewpoint, and that free will is an illusion produced by our need for control. While Beyond Good and Evil is difficult to read, it is nonetheless a significant contribution to contemporary philosophy. It inspires people to reconsider their convictions and look for a more genuine and satisfying existence outside of conventional cultural conventions.

Leuven University Press Towards a Political Anthropology in the Work of
Book Synopsis'Political anthropology' as the major contemporary importance in Deleuze’s work This work explores the significance of two recurring themes in the thought of Gilles Deleuze: his critique of psychoanalysis and praise for Anglo-American literature. Tracing the overlooked influence of English writer D.H. Lawrence on Deleuze, Rockwell Clancy shows how these themes ultimately bear on two competing 'political anthropologies', conceptions of the political and the respective accounts of philosophical anthropology on which they are based. Contrary to the mainstream of both Deleuze studies and contemporary political thought, Clancy argues that the major contemporary importance of Deleuze’s thought consists in the way he grounds his analyses of the political on accounts of philosophical anthropology, helping to make sense of the contemporary backlash against inclusive liberal values evident in forms of political conservatism and religious fundamentalism. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Trade ReviewThis is an ambitious book that makes significant contributions to Deleuze studies. Clancy’s advocacy of a Deleuzian political anthropology offers a provocative alternative to previous accounts of Deleuze’s political philosophy, especially in its valorization of the arts as primary forces in the creation of a viable collectivity. Clancy’s exposition of Lawrence’s critical works, especially his books on psychoanalysis, brings to the fore texts that have been ignored by Deleuze scholars, and the parallels he draws between Lawrence and Deleuze/Guattari are striking. Readers will have to decide for themselves to what extent the parallels are signs of Lawrence’s influence on his successors or a mere confluence of interests. There is no doubt that Lawrence is the primary source of Deleuze’s understanding of Anglo-American literature in general and Whitman in particular. But one might well argue that Deleuze and Guattari developed their critique of psychoanalysis independently of Lawrence and simply saw in him a welcome ally in their struggle against the pieties of the Oedipus complex. Whether the Lawrence-Deleuze/Guattari connection constitutes influence or a confluence of interest, however, is of little moment. What counts is the connection itself, which in Clancy’s treatment gives rise to an original and compelling reading of Deleuze and Guattari, one that deserves the serious attention of everyone in the field.Ronald Bogue, Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy - Revue de la philosophie française et de langue française, Vol XXVI, No 1 (2018) pp 134-137 * Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy - Revue de la philosophie française et de langue française *Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsAbbreviationsPrefaceFrom Psychoanalysis and Literature to Political Anthropology IntroductionDeleuze, Politics, and the Problem of Human Nature1.
