On Foundationalism - Tom Rockmore - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

On Foundationalism - Tom Rockmore - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

In ancient times, the main approaches to metaphysical realism were intuitive. In modern times, foundationalism has replaced intuition as the main strategy to make out metaphysical realist claims to know. In On Foundationalism, Rockmore argues that foundationalism fails in all its known variants. Furthermore, Rockmore argues that Kant plays a crucial role in this regard. Kant''s complex position is both foundationalist and anti-foundationalist, committed to metaphysical realism, and also, through its commitment to empirical realism, opposed to metaphysical realism. Before Kant, it made eminent sense to be committed to eventually making out a claim for metaphysical realism by formulating an acceptable version of foundationalism. After Kant, it no longer makes sense even to try to do so.

Judgment, Imagination, and Politics - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Judgment, Imagination, and Politics - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Judgment, Imagination, and Politics brings together for the first time leading essays on the nature of judgment. Drawing from themes in Kant''s Critique of Judgment and Hannah Arendt''s discussion of judgment from Lectures on Kant''s Political Philosophy, these essays deal with: the role of imagination in judgment; judgment as a distinct human faculty; the nature of judgment in law and politics; and the many puzzles that arise from the ''enlarged mentality,'' the capacity to consider the perspectives of others that aren''t in Kant treated as essential to judgment.

Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Kant''s Critique of the Power of Judgment, first published in 1790, was the last of the great philosopher''s three critiques, following on the heels of Critique of Pure Reason (1781) and Critique of Practical Reason (1788). In the first two, Kant dealt with metaphysics and morality; in the third, Kant turns to the aesthetic dimension of human experience, showing how our experiences of natural and artistic beauty, the sublime magnitude and might of nature, and of purposive organisms and ecological systems gives us palpable evidece that it is possible for us not only to form moral intentions, but also to realize our freely chosen moral goals within nature as we experience it. The present volume collects twelve of the most important critical discussions on the Critique of the Power of Judgment written by leading Kant scholars and aestheticians from the United States and Great Britain. In addition to a substantive introduction by the editor, the book includes an extensive, annotated bibliography of the most important work on Kant and on the background and arguments of his third Critique published throughout the twentieth century.

On Constructivist Epistemology - Tom Rockmore - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

On Constructivist Epistemology - Tom Rockmore - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

In his book On Foundationalism, Tom Rockmore reviewed the efforts to develop a cogent form of foundational realism and concluded that the doctrine is no longer viable and should be abandoned. In On Constructivist Epistemology, Rockmore expounds upon the idea of "constructivism" as introduced at the end of On Foundationalism. On Constructivist Epistemology belongs to an ongoing effort to call attention to the resources of a modern epistemological approach, which is focused in Kant and which is followed up virtually throughout the later debate. Rockmore traces the idea of constructivism and then proposes the outlines of an original constructivist approach to knowledge, building on the work of such thinkers as Hobbes, Vico, and Kant

Between Truth and Illusion - Predrag Cicovacki - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Between Truth and Illusion - Predrag Cicovacki - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

In Between Truth and Illusion, Predrag Cicovacki carefully analyzes Kant''s contribution to discussions of human being and finds that he was deeply involved in the systematic development of the modern anthropocentric orientation toward liberation and dominance of the subject. On the other hands, modernity''s high ideal of universal scientific and moral progress turned out to be illusory and ill-conceived. Cicovacki focuses on Kant''s important observations about the limitations of the modernist project and develops an interactive conception of truth from it. Truth, the author says, presupposes a dominance of neither subject nor object, but their dynamic and reciprocal interactive relation. The absence of proper interactions leads to various forms of self-projections or illusions.

The Creative Imagination - Jodie Lee Heap - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The Creative Imagination - Jodie Lee Heap - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

By offering an original elucidation of the notion of the imagination in the writings ofImmanuel Kant, Johann Fichte and Cornelius Castoriadis, this book addresses and brings to the fore the significance of the imagination as the ontological source of human creation.Principally inspired by Castoriadis’s revolutionary elucidation of the imagination and the imaginary, this book actively contributes to this neglected line of enquiry by exposing deep lines of continuity and rupture both within and between the revolutionary writings of Kant, Fichte, and Castoriadis. Beginning with Kant’s hesitation in describing the productive imagination as a creative power, this book traces these lines of continuity and rupture through an elucidation of the form and content of Fichte’s philosophical system, known as the Wissenschaftslehre, and through an elucidation of Castoriadis’s remarkable concept of the radical imaginary.Engaging with these lines of continuity and rupture allows this book to contribute to the landscape of thinking by offering a new elucidation of the imagination in the formof the “embodied imagination.”

Paul Ricoeur - Bernard P. Dauenhauer - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ricoeur - Bernard P. Dauenhauer - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ricoeur, with Rawls, Walzer, and Habermas as some of his main interlocutors, has developed a substantial and distinctive body of political thought. On the one hand, it articulates a rich conception of the paradoxical character of the domain of politics. On the other, it provides a fresh approach to such major topics as the relationship among politics, economics, and ethics and between concern for universal human rights and respect for cultural plurality. His work, rooted as it is in Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel, also provides resources for a fruitful rethinking of the issues at stake in the liberal-communitarian debate.

Living in Integrity - Laura Westra - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Living in Integrity - Laura Westra - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

This innovative book takes a new look at environmental ethics and the need for ecological and biological integrity. Laura Westra explores the necessity for radical alteration not only of interpersonal ethics, but also of social institutions and public policy. In the process, Westra denies the validity of majority rule in environmentally ethical concerns. Issues discussed in the book include the link between ecological integrity and human health; an environmental evaluation of business and technology; biotechnology and transgenics in agriculture and aquaculture; and the environmental ethics of the ancient Greeks and Kant. Living in Integrity is a valuable book for philosophers and environmentalists alike.

Aesthetics Across the Color Line - James J. Winchester - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Aesthetics Across the Color Line - James J. Winchester - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Imagine Immanuel Kant discussing art with bell hooks and Cornel West. Or Friedrich Nietzsche hanging around at a blues club. In Aesthetics Across the Color Line, James Winchester brings the western philosophical tradition into dialog with contemporary African-American thinkers in an attempt to bridge (or at least understand) the culture gap in aesthetic judgments. In this unique study, James Winchester urges philosophers to reexamine traditional aesthetic theory in light of recent writings by prominent African-American thinkers. Winchester focuses on the black-white cultural divide in the United States, but his theories also help frame the way we think about all cross-cultural aesthetic judgments. It is high time this book appeared in this age of multiculturalism.

Futures of Critical Theory - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Futures of Critical Theory - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Written by internationally acclaimed scholars on futures of critical theory, this book attempts to renew and reinvigorate critical theory by extending its range and its intellectual trajectories through strategies of inclusiveness that respect and build on parallel traditions. The authors reinterpret the work of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger in relation to central figures (Kant, Marcuse, Foucault) and themes of critical theory—the critique of modernity, theory of the self, and the question concerning technology. Key chapters address the critical significance of the work of the French theorists Levinas, Deleuze, Derrida, Lyotard, Irigaray, and Bourdieu and while other chapters focus on thinkers as diverse as Zizek, Giddens, Said, and Guattari, and deal with contemporary topics such as cyberfeminism and antiglobalization.

Moral Judgement - ?tienne Brown - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Moral Judgement - ?tienne Brown - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

This book is the first to introduce readers to contemporary philosophical works on moral judgement stemming from France, Germany and the Anglo-American world – many of which remain untranslated. By integrating Kantian and Aristotelian reflections on this subject, the author combines historiography and critical reflection to offer a rich picture of what it means to make good moral decisions. As both Kantians and Aristotelians argue, moral judgements are ultimately grounded in the normativity of practical identities. Thus, it is by identifying the obligations tied to the multiple dimensions of our identities (e.g., friend, teacher, romantic partner, citizen) that we can ultimately understand how we ought to act. Yet, Aristotle and Kant also remind us that doing so requires the acquisition of moral virtues which allow us to better discern practical reasons in concrete situations.

The Critical Introduction to Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona - Salomo Friedlaender Mynona - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The Critical Introduction to Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona - Salomo Friedlaender Mynona - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Salomo Friedlaender/Mynona (1871-1946) was a prominent, eccentric and influential figure in late Imperial Germany, Expressionism, Dadaism, and the Weimar Republic who wrote and published works of philosophy, novels, parodies and satirical so called grotesque tales which he wrote under the pseudonym Mynona - the German word for anonymous, anonym , spelt backwards. After fleeing the rise of Nazism, Friedlaender/Mynona died in Paris in obscurity. Friedlaender/Mynona is currently in the process of being re-discovered in his native language, however little of his work generally, and none of the philosophical texts, have been translated. The is the first ever book-length publication in English introducing the philosophical works. It includes three introductory framing chapters explaining the historical context, contemporary relevance and pertinence to performance philosophy of Friedlaender/Mynona; it contains original translations of select passages from his most significant philosophical texts (especially Schöpferische Indifferenz/Creative Indifference , first published in 1918), the later Das magische Ich/The Magic I (1935) and the very last essay Ideenmagie/Idea Magic (1945/46) as well as translations of select letters from his life-time of extensive correspondence to and from well-known cultural personalities of the time. Not only recognised as having inspired Walter Benjamin, and thus arguably an important contributor to the tradition of critical theory to which Benjamin belongs, Friedlaender/Mynona can be counted as forerunner of both performance philosophy and gender theory, and as a major influence in the development of Gestalt therapy. Furthermore, not only did Friedlaender/Mynona belong to the first generation of avid Nietzsche readers, over the course of his life he remained a tireless interpreter of Immanuel Kant. His extraordinary voice is of significant interest to Nietzsche and Kant Studies and sheds light on their respective relevance for a performance-oriented approach to philosophy.

Democracy, Education, and Multiculturalism - Carlos Alberto Torres - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Democracy, Education, and Multiculturalism - Carlos Alberto Torres - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

This important book looks at developments that are changing our understanding of the role of education in citizenship and the possibilities of democratic participation. The first chapter reviews theories of citizenship and education based on the classical contributions to political theory of C.B. MacPherson and T.H. Marshall. The second chapter challenges educators to think more politically about education. It is based on a seminal analysis that shows the role education plays in the liberal, neoliberal, and neoconservative state, incorporating critical perspectives from neo-Marxism, postmodernism, and feminism. In chapter three Professor Torres analyzes the transition from the welfare state to the neoliberal state, including the role of international organizations in promoting educational reform and privatization policies. In the concluding chapter Torres draws on Hobbes, Locke, Jefferson, Kant, Hegel, Marx and other writers such as C. Mouffe and C. Pateman to outline contemporary approaches to multiculturalism in education and citizenship.

Deleuze at the End of the World - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Deleuze at the End of the World - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The philosophy of Deleuze is as relevant to contemporary thought as it is obscure and complex. Deleuze at the End of the World guides readers through this maze by exploring the raw material that Deleuze took from thinkers in various fields of knowledge to construct his own concepts, some of them well known (such as Hegel, Kant, Husserl, Balibar and Blanchot) and some widely unexplored (Selme, Guillaume, Bakhtine and Dalcq). At the same time, readers will gain access to Latin American perspectives on contemporary philosophy.Contextualized with an Introduction by one of the pioneers of the Deleuzian Studies at a global level, Dorothea Olkowski, this book provides both a unique tool for comprehending the philosophy of Deleuze, but also insight into to the way it has been read in the periphery of the American and European scholarship –where “the end of the world” means not only a geographical contingency, but the encounter of thought with its own limits. This collection is both a refreshing approach to Deleuzian philosophy, as well as a continuous and innovative experience of thinking.

Critical Thinking Unleashed - Elliot D. Cohen - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Critical Thinking Unleashed - Elliot D. Cohen - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

From alcohol and drug addiction to rage on national highways and in airports, many human beings have kept themselves in perpetual turmoil and despair. From encroachment on individual rights and liberties to wars of attrition and mass genocide, human history has continually repeated itself due to a failure to see the light. Containing numerous skill-building exercises, Critical Thinking Unleashed seeks to cultivate the reasoning skills required to overcome such destructive human tendencies and to live meaningful and productive lives in a democratic society. In contrast to other treatments of practical reasoning, Elliot D. Cohen not only teaches students how to identify and refute irrational premises_he also teaches them how to construct rational antidotes to combat the personal, social, and political obstacles they confront in everyday life. Moreover, Cohen encourages students to use the theories and ideas embodied in the history of philosophy in order to construct these rational guides, drawing examples from many contemporary sources. Demonstrating the practical relevance and import of many historically significant philosophers (e.g. Socrates, Aristotle, Epictetus, Hume, Kant, Mill, Sartre, and Nietzsche), the book presents a practical, non-technical, and comprehensive approach to critical thinking.

The New Rational Therapy - Elliot D. Cohen - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The New Rational Therapy - Elliot D. Cohen - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Throughout the ages, great thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Aquinas,Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, Nietzsche, and many others have had incredibly useful things to say about overcoming the strife of everyday living and attaining happiness. Unfortunately contemporary approaches to psychology have made only limited use of this guidance. At last, here is an uplifting psychology that systematically applies the wisdom of the ages to attaining life pregnant with insight, meaning, value, and purpose. Guided by the vision of great minds, this book shows you how you can still feel secure and hopeful in a precarious, uncertain universe; face evil with life-affirming courage; build self-esteem, respect for others, and global reverence; become your own person; take control of you''re emotions and behavior; strengthen your willpower; confront moral problems creatively; build rapport and solidarity with others; and hone your practical decision-making skills. Unlike classical approaches to rational psychology that only scratch the surface of what''s deeply wrong in your life, The New Rational Therapy gets to the core and offers you penetrating, philosophical antidotes for transcending your malaise, and for attaining an enduring, profound happiness.

Historical Dictionary of Hume's Philosophy - Kenneth R. Merrill - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Historical Dictionary of Hume's Philosophy - Kenneth R. Merrill - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The philosopher David Hume was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on April 26, 1711. Known for his re-thinking of causation, morality, and religion, Hume has left a lasting mark on history. James Madison, the "father" of the U.S. Constitution, drew heavily on Hume''s writing, especially his "Idea of Perfect Commonwealth," which combated the belief at the time that a large country could not sustain a republican form of government. Hume''s writing also influenced Adam Smith''s Wealth of Nations and the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. This edition attempts a broader picture of Hume’s philosophy including more detail on the elements of his psychology, aesthetics, social and political philosophy as well as his legacy in contemporary topics of race, feminism, animal ethics, and environmental issues.This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Hume''s Philosophy contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 100 cross-referenced entries covering key terms, as well as brief discussions of Hume''s major works and of some of his most important predecessors, contemporaries, and successors. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about David Hume.

Simone de Beauvoir's Philosophy of Lived Experience - Eleanore Holveck - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Simone de Beauvoir's Philosophy of Lived Experience - Eleanore Holveck - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Simone de Beauvoir developed her philosophy of lived experience as she actually wrote fiction. Hence Beauvoir should be placed among major philosophical novelists of the twentieth-century like Toni Morrison and Nadine Gordimer, and Beauvoir''s theory of the metaphysical novel acknowledges multicultural traditions of story-telling and song which are not locked into the theoretical abstractions of the Greek philosophical tradition. In Simone de Beauvoir''s Philosophy of Lived Experience, Eleanore Holveck presents Simone de Beauvoir''s theory of literature and metaphysics, including its relationship to the philosophers Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Immanuel Kant, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Paul Sartre, with references to the literary tradition of Goethe, Maurice Barrès, Arthur Rimbaud, André Breton, and Paul Nizan. The book provides a detailed philosophical analysis of Beauvoir''s early short stories and several major novels, including The Mandarins and L''invitée, from the point of view of "other" women who appear on the fringes of Beauvoir''s fiction: shop girls, seamstresses, and prostitutes. Holveck applies Beauvoir''s philosophy to her own lived experience as a working-class teenager who grew up in jazz clubs similar to those Beauvoir herself visited in New York and Chicago.
