Pathos And Praxis - An Integrated Phenomenology Of Life

by Scott Davidson

~~42,39€~~ 38,15€ 10% OFF

 Pathos and Praxis presents a new and original framework for an integrated phenomenology of life. It provides the first comparative study of two influential French philosophers, Paul Ricoeur and Michel Henry, and shows that their debates over the interpretation of Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx signal two rival approaches to the phenomenology of life.Author Scott Davidson demonstrates that while Henry reveals the phenomenological meaning of life through an inward turn to a pure subjective feeling of being alive, Ricoeur anchors its significance in the reciprocal interaction between the self and the world. But these two alternatives are not necessarily opposed.Pathos and Praxis proposes an integrated phenomenology of life to which both Henry and Ricoeur make an important contribution. To be a self is to suffer the pathos of "having a life" but also to be capable of engaging in the praxis of "leading a life." By thinking the pathos and praxis of life together, the integrated approach preserves human agency against deterministic conceptions of life and at the same time avoids the meritocratic hubris that depicts one's life solely as the result of one's own doing. This integration of having and leading a life reframes our thinking about human capabilities and vulnerabilities in a way that has important implications for biopolitics and the ethics of life.

Human Life In Motion - Heidegger'S Unpublished Seminars On Aristotle As Preserved By Helene Weiss

by Francisco J. Gonzalez

~~51,66€~~ 46,49€ 10% OFF

 Human Life in Motion presents for the first time the previously unpublished transcripts of the seminars on Aristotle Martin Heidegger gave in the 1920s. These transcripts reveal much about the evolution of his thought during that time.Detailed student transcripts for these seminars appear among the papers of one of Heidegger's students, Helene Weiss, held today in the Special Collections Department of Stanford University. Analyzing and organizing hundreds of pages of these transcripts written by different students, Francisco Gonzalez brilliantly reconstructs the original seminars. He summarizes what Heidegger presented and claimed in each class. Gonzalez also throws into relief the overarching philosophical significance of the seminars, showing how the different interpretative moves or claims are connected and where they lead, something which in turn requires explicating them in the context of both the Aristotelian texts discussed and Heidegger's own thought during this period.Essential reading for students and scholars of Heidegger or Aristotle, Human Life in Motion is a publishing event that forces a reconsideration of the thought and legacy of both philosophers.

Through The Eyes Of Descartes - Seeing, Thinking, Writing

by Cecilia Sjoholm e Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback

~~46,36€~~ 41,72€ 10% OFF

 "I shall here present my life," writes Descartes in Discourse on Method, "as in a painting" and my method "as a fable." Through the Eyes of Descartes demonstrates how a Cartesian aesthetics is interwoven in his thought. It brings together a variety of materials: his metaphysical writings and essays in natural philosophy, through to his letters, drawings, and printed images.Cecilia Sjoholm and Marcia Sa Cavalcante Schuback seek to bring Descartes into dialogue with contemporary phenomenology as well as contemporary psychoanalytic thought. They focus on how perception interacts with emotions and thought, and the way in which our gaze is directed toward limit-phenomena of beauty and fascination.In Through the Eyes of Descartes, Cecilia Sjoholm and Marcia Sa Cavalcante Schuback counter the traditional picture of Descartes by presenting his work in an entirely different light: a Descartes of the arts, of sensibility, of inner images, and of imagination.

Fundamental Concepts Of Metaphysics - World, Finitude, Solitude

 <DIV>" . . an important addition to the translations of Heidegger''s lecture-courses . . Heidegger''s voice can be heard with few of the jolting Germanicisms with which so many translations of Heidegger''s texts have been burdened. . . ." —International Philosophical Quarterly"The translators of these lectures have succeeded splendidly in giving readers an intimation of the tensely insistent tone of the original German. Heidegger''s concern with a linguistic preconsciousness and with our entrancement before the enigma of existence remains intensely contemporary." —Choice"There is much that is new and valuable in this book, and McNeill and Walker''s faithful translation makes it very accessible." —Review of Metaphysics"Whoever thought that Heidegger . . . has no surprises left in him had better read this volume. If its rhetoric is ''hard and heavy'' its thought is even harder and essentially more daring than Heideggerians ever imagined Heidegger could be." —David Farrell KrellFirst published in German in 1938 as volume 29/30 of Heidegger''s collected works, The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics includes an extended treatment of the history of metaphysics and an elaboration of a philosophy of life and nature. Heidegger''s concepts of organism, animal behavior, and environment are uniquely developed and defined with intensity.This work, the text of Martin Heidegger''s lecture course of 1929/30, is crucial for an understanding of Heidegger''s transition from the major work of his early years, Being and Time, to his later preoccupations with language, truth, and history.

Heidegger'S Poietic Writings - From Contributions To Philosophy To The Event

by Daniela Vallega-Neu

10,59€ + 10% CARD

 Engaging the development of Heidegger's non-public writings on the event between 1936 and 1941, Daniela Vallega-Neu reveals what Heidegger's private writings kept hidden. Vallega-Neu takes readers on a journey through these volumes, which are not philosophical works in the traditional sense as they read more like fragments, collections of notes, reflections, and expositions. In them, Vallega-Neu sees Heidegger searching for a language that does not simply speak about being, but rather allows a sense of being to emerge in his thinking and saying. She focuses on striking shifts in the tone and movement of Heidegger's thinking during these important years. Skillfully navigating the unorthodox and intimate character of these writings, Vallega-Neu provides critical insights into questions of attunement, language, the body, and historicity in Heidegger's thinking.

Levinas And The Trauma Of Responsibility - The Ethical Significance Of Time

by Cynthia D. Coe

10,59€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>Levinas''s account of responsibility challenges dominant notions of time, autonomy, and subjectivity according to Cynthia D. Coe. Employing the concept of trauma in Levinas''s late writings, Coe draws together his understanding of time and his claim that responsibility is an obligation to the other that cannot be anticipated or warded off. Tracing the broad significance of these ideas, Coe shows how Levinas revises our notions of moral agency, knowledge, and embodiment. Her focus on time brings a new interpretive lens to Levinas''s work and reflects on a wider discussion of the fragmentation of human experience as an ethical subject. Coe''s understanding of trauma and time offers a new appreciation of how Levinas can inform debates about gender, race, mortality, and animality.</DIV>

Self-Understanding And Lifeworld - Basic Traits Of A Phenomenological Hermeneutics

by Hans-Helmuth Gander

67,56€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>What are the foundations of human self-understanding and the value of responsible philosophical questioning? Focusing on Heidegger''s early work on facticity, historicity, and the phenomenological hermeneutics of factical-historical life, Hans-Helmuth Gander develops an idea of understanding that reflects our connection with the world and other, and thus invites deep consideration of phenomenology, hermeneutics, and deconstruction. He draws usefully on Husserl''s phenomenology and provides grounds for exchange with Descartes, Dilthey, Nietzsche, Gadamer, Ricoeur, and Foucault. On the way to developing a contemporary hermeneutical philosophy, Gander clarifies the human relation to self in and through conversation with Heidegger''s early hermeneutics. Questions about reading and writing then follow as these are the very actions that structure human self-understanding and world understanding.</DIV>

Ponderings Xii-Xv - Black Notebooks, 1939-1941

by Martin Heidegger

10,59€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>Ponderings XII-XV is third in a series of four "Black Notebooks" which Martin Heidegger composed in the early years of World War II. As always with Heidegger, the thoughts expressed here are not superficial reflections on current events, but instead penetrate deeply into them in order to contemplate their historical importance. Throughout his ponderings, Heidegger meditates on the call for an antidote to the rampant technological attitude which views all things with a dismissive consumer mentality. Although this volume caused quite a scandal when originally published in German due to references to World-Judaism, English readers with access to the full text can now judge for themselves what Heidegger means in his use of that term. In style, this notebook is less aphoristic and more sustained than the previous ones, but remains probing, challenging, and fascinating.</DIV>

World On Edge

by Edward S. Casey

43,71€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>From one of continental philosophy''s most distinctive voices comes a creative contribution to spatial studies, environmental philosophy, and phenomenology. Edward S. Casey identifies how important edges are to us, not only in terms of how we perceive our world, but in our cognitive, artistic, and sociopolitical attentions to it. We live in a world that is constantly on edge, yet edges as such are rarely explored. Casey systematically describes the major and minor edges that configure the human and other-than-human realms, including our everyday experience. He also explores edges in high- stakes situations, such as those that emerge in natural disasters, moments of political and economic upheaval, and encroaching climate change. Casey''s work enables a more lucid understanding of the edge-world that is a necessary part of living in a shared global environment.</DIV>

Persuasion, Reflection, Judgment - Ancillae Vitae

by Rodolphe Gasche

35,76€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>Gasché expounds on Aristotle, Heidegger, and Arendt in "a major interpretative achievement that underscores what is at stake in political thought" (Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews). As one of the most respected voices of Continental philosophy today, Rodolphe Gasché pulls together Aristotle’s conception of rhetoric, Martin Heidegger’s debate with theory, and Hannah Arendt’s conception of judgment in a single work on the centrality of these themes as fundamental to human flourishing in public and political life. Gasché’s readings address the distinctively human space of the public square and the actions that occur there, and his valorization of persuasion, reflection, and judgment reveals new insight into how the philosophical tradition distinguishes thinking from other faculties of the human mind. "Here Rodolphe Gasche is at his best: rigorous, scholarly, creative, forceful, laser focused on the issues at stake, learned, thoughtful, and original. He demands much of his readers, but reading his work is rewarding in ways that can be profoundly affecting." —Dennis J. Schmidt, author of Between Word and Image "Rodolphe Gasche has long been one of the most meticulous readers of texts on the philosophical scene and here he once again offers a master class in how to do philosophy through interpretation." —Robert Bernasconi, author of How to Read Sartre</DIV>

Thinking Through French Philosophy - The Being Of The Question

by Leonard Lawlor

9,59€ + 10% CARD

 ". . . no other book undertakes to relate all these French philosophers to each other the way that [Lawlor] does, brilliantly." —François RaffoulFor many, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Gilles Deleuze represent one of the greatest movements in French philosophy. But these philosophers and their works did not materialize without a philosophical heritage. In Thinking through French Philosophy, Leonard Lawlor shows how the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty formed an important current in sustaining the development of structuralism and post-structuralism. Seeking the "point of diffraction," or the specific ideas and concepts that link Derrida, Foucault, and Deleuze, Lawlor discovers differences and convergences in these thinkers who worked the same terrain. Major themes include metaphysics, archaeology, language and documentation, expression and interrogation, and the very experience of thinking. Lawlor's focus on the experience of the question brings out critical differences in immanence and transcendence. This illuminating and provocative book brings new vitality to debates on contemporary French philosophy.
