The Analytic Field A Clinical Concept

The Analytic Field A Clinical Concept

Until now no book has ever attempted to compare and contrast contributions on analytic field theory and at the same time to explore its clinical and technical implications. This volume is intended for the first time to link together many of these writings and to provide an initial wide-ranging survey of the subject - for it is our contention that a theory of the field in various of its loci can also be inhabited by different theories. A particular aim of this book is to present not only theoretical discussions of field theory but also contributions on clinical work and technique. For this reason we have given preference to articles with a substantial clinical component which exemplify specific underlying technical theory. In the Babel of psychoanalytic languages clinical practice is in our view the most effective way of comparing psychoanalytic models. ' | The Analytic Field A Clinical Concept

The Concept of Property in Kant Fichte and Hegel Freedom Right and Recognition

The Concept of Property in Kant Fichte and Hegel Freedom Right and Recognition

This book provides a detailed account of the role of property in German Idealism. It puts the concept of property in the center of the philosophical systems of Kant Fichte and Hegel and shows how property remains tied to their conceptions of freedom right and recognition. The book begins with a critical genealogy of the concept of property in modern legal philosophy followed by a reconstruction of the theory of property in Kant’s Doctrine of Right Fichte’s Foundations of Natural Right and Hegel’s Jena Realphilosophie. By turning to the tradition of German Rechtsphilosophie as opposed to the more standard libertarian and utilitarian frameworks of property it explores the metaphysical normative political and material questions that make property intelligible as a social relation. The book formulates a normative theory of property rooted in practical reason mutual recognition and social freedom. This relational theory of property inspired by German Idealism brings a fresh angle to contemporary property theory. Additionally it provides crucial philosophical background to 19th-century debates on private property inequality labor socialism capitalism and the state. The Concept of Property in Kant Fichte and Hegel will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in 19th-century German philosophy social and political philosophy philosophy of law political theory and political economy. | The Concept of Property in Kant Fichte and Hegel Freedom Right and Recognition

The Concept of a University

The Concept of a University

Taking on the challenge of the postmodernists of politics Kenneth Minogue argues forcefully and persuasively that the current dominant philosophies of education rest upon a mistake. The fashionable belief that the university is society's handmaiden is confronted by a view of the university as an institution with an independent vitality and function. Minogue at one and the same time reminds us of the sources of admiration for university life in the medieval world and how it rested squarely on its essential autonomy from the very social pressures that have come to define the modern university. The Concept of a University traces many confusions imposed by political ideology to a failure to distinguish academic inquiry from other kinds of intellectual activity such as journalism religious proselytizing and high quality propaganda. Minogue holds that where the university lacks a clear sense of the difference between the academic and the pragmatic its vitality is sapped by conflicting purposes. Much of the present debate about the crisis in universities rests upon a fundamental error of trying to fit them into some scheme of social functions. Minogue's analysis breaks through much muddled thinking on this subject presenting instead a coherent relevant and stimulating approach to higher education. In a new introduction Minogue tells us we have become frightfully tolerant. Anyone can become anything and we all belong to the one practical world of churning problems and solutions. There is no doubt that a new world is being born. It seems to be a world that will have little place for the disinterested pursuit of truth. A great deal of old fashioned scholarship survives-partly by silence cunning and exile' -in the universities' of the present day but little relationship remains between what we used to call universities' and the things called by that name today. Kenneth Minogue is professor emeritus of political science at the London School of Economics. He was born in New Zealand educated in Australia and has made his life and academic career in the United Kingdom. He is the author of The Liberal Mind Nationalism and most recently Democracy and the Moral Life. He is a director of the Centre for Policy Studies and also senior research fellow of the Bruges Group where he remains a member of its academic advisory council.

Jeff Wall and the Concept of the Picture

Jeff Wall and the Concept of the Picture

This book grapples with fundamental questions about the evolving nature of pictorial representation and the role photography has played in this ongoing process. These issues are explored through a close analysis of key themes that underpin the photography practice of Canadian artist Jeff Wall and through examining important works that have defined his oeuvre. Wall’s strategic revival of ‘the picture’ has had a resounding influence on the development of contemporary art photography by expanding the conceptual and technical frameworks of the medium and introducing a self-reflexive criticality. Naomi Merritt brings a new and original contribution to the scholarship on one of the most significant figures to have shaped the course of contemporary art photography since the 1970s and shines a light on the multilayered connections between photography and art. This book will be of interest to scholars in the history of photography art and visual culture and contemporary art history. | Jeff Wall and the Concept of the Picture

Considering Space A Critical Concept for the Social Sciences

Considering Space A Critical Concept for the Social Sciences

Considering Space demonstrates what has changed in the perception of space within the social sciences and how useful – indeed indispensable – this category is today. While the seemingly deterritorializing effects of digitalization might suggest that space is a secondary consideration this book proves such a presumption wrong with territories borders distances proximity geographical ecologies land use physical infrastructures – as well as concepts of space – all being shown still to matter perhaps more than ever before. Seeking to show how society can and should be perceived as spatial it will appeal to scholars of sociology geography architecture and urban studies.

Christianity Ethics and the Law The Concept of Love in Christian Legal Thought

Christianity Ethics and the Law The Concept of Love in Christian Legal Thought

This book examines how Christian love can inform legal thought. The work introduces love as a way to advance the emergent conversation between constructive theology and jurisprudence that will also inform conversations in philosophy and political theory. Love is the central category for Christian ethical understanding. Yet the growing field of law and religion and relatedly law and theology rarely addresses how love can shape our understanding of law. This reflects in part a common assumption that law and love stand in necessary tension. Love applies to the private and the personal. Law by contrast applies to the public and the political realms governed by power. It is thus a mistake to envisage love as having anything but a negative relationship to law. This conclusion continues to govern Christian understandings of the meaning and vocation of law. The animating idea of this volume is that the concept of love can and should inform Christian legal thought. The project approaches this task from the perspective of both historical and constructive theology. Various contributions examine how such thinkers as Augustine Aquinas and Calvin utilised love in their legal thought. These essays highlight often neglected aspects of the Christian tradition. Other contributions examine Christian love in light of contemporary legal topics including civility forgiveness and secularism. Love the book proposes not only matters for law but can transform the terms on which Christians understand and engage it. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of legal theory; law and religion; law and philosophy; legal history; theology and religious studies; and political theory. | Christianity Ethics and the Law The Concept of Love in Christian Legal Thought

The Vernacular Three Essays on an Ambivalent Concept and its Uses in South Asia

The Vernacular Three Essays on an Ambivalent Concept and its Uses in South Asia

This book examines the validity of the notion of the ‘vernacular’ and the position of the so-called ‘vernaculars’ in colonial and postcolonial settings. It addresses recent formulations and debates regarding the status of regional languages of South Asia in relation to English. The authors explore the range of meanings the term has assumed and trace a history of contestation since the colonial age. They contend that though the ‘vernacular’ in South Asia has since the nineteenth century often operated as a hegemonic category relegating the languages thus designated to an inferior status those languages (and other cultural formations labelled as ‘vernacular’) have also received empowering impulses and vested with qualities like groundedness and strength. The book highlights the need for a critical discussion of the notion of the ‘vernacular’ in the context of the ongoing rise of Anglophonia in South Asia as a whole and post-liberalisation India in particular. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literary and culture studies history postcolonial studies and South Asian studies. | The Vernacular Three Essays on an Ambivalent Concept and its Uses in South Asia

Perversion Pedagogy and the Comic A Survey of the Concept of Theatre in the Christian Middle Ages

Perversion Pedagogy and the Comic A Survey of the Concept of Theatre in the Christian Middle Ages

Perversion Pedagogy and the Comic studies how the idea-of-theater shaped western consciousness during the Christian Middle Ages. It analyses developments within western philosophy Christian theology and theater history to show how this idea realized itself primarily as a metaphor circulating through various discursive domains. Beginning with Plato’s injunction against tragedy the relation between philosophy and theater has been a complicated affair which this book traces at the threshold when the western world became Christian. By late antiquity as theatre was slowly banned Christian theology put the idea-of-theatre to use in order to show what they understood to be the perverted nature of worldly existence and the mystery of the Kingdom of God. Interrogating the theological teachings of some of the early Church Fathers like St Augustine Tertullian and Clement of Alexandria the book offers a new look at how the idea of theater not only inspired Christian liturgical practices but Christian pedagogy in general which in turn shaped the nature of Christian religious drama. Finally the author tries to demonstrate how this hegemonic use of the theatre-idea was countered by a certain comic sensibility which opened the idea of theatre in the Christian Middle Ages to a new and subversive materialist possibility.

Horizontal Art History and Beyond Revising Peripheral Critical Practices

Horizontal Art History and Beyond Revising Peripheral Critical Practices

This book is devoted to the concept of horizontal art history—a proposal of a paradigm shift formulated by the Polish art historian Piotr Piotrowski (1952–2015)—that aims at undermining the hegemony of the discourse of art history created in the Western world. The concept of horizontal art history is one of many ideas on how to conduct nonhierarchical art historical analysis that have been developed in different geopolitical locations since at least the 1970s parallel to the ongoing process of decolonization. This book is a critical examination of horizontal art history which provokes a discussion on the original concept of horizontal art history and possible methods to extend it. This is an edited volume written by international scholars who acknowledge the importance of the concept share its basic assumptions and are aware both of its advantages and limitations.

The Misuse of Alcohol Crucial Issues in Dependence Treatment and Prevention

The Misuse of Alcohol Crucial Issues in Dependence Treatment and Prevention

In the 1980s the study of alcoholism was in a period of rapid change this book originally published in 1985 identifies and explores the three most controversial contemporary issues: changes at the basic explanatory level in our concept of harmful drinking; the undermining of our confidence that drinking behaviour can be effectively modified in the traditional context of ‘treatment’; and the changes in our concept of the effective prevention of harmful drinking. The authors of the book came from a variety of backgrounds but all were members of the New Directions in the Study of Alcohol Group. They broadly reject the disease concept of alcoholism but as this volume shows there is still scope for vigorous debate and this book should have something of interest for all concerned with problems of alcoholism. | The Misuse of Alcohol Crucial Issues in Dependence Treatment and Prevention
