  • av Kas Saghafi

    How does Derrida write of and on the other?

  • - Thinking with Paul Ricoeur
     
    1 160,-

    Paul Ricoeur''s entire philosophical project narrates a "passion for the possible" expressed in the hope that in spite of death, closure, and sedimentation, life is opened by superabundance, by how the world gives us much more than is possible. Ricoeur''s philosophical anthropology is a phenomenology of human capacity, which gives onto the groundless ground of human being, namely, God. Thus the story of the capable man, beginning with original goodness held captive by a servile will and ending with the possibility of liberation and regeneration of the heart, underpins his passion for the more than possible. The essays in this volume trace the fluid movement between phenomenological and religious descriptions of the capable self that emerges across Ricoeur''s oeuvre and establish points of connection for future developments that might draw inspiration from this body of thought.

  • - Between Hostility and Hospitality
     
    1 256,-

    What is strange? Or better, who is strange? When do we encounter the strange? We encounter strangers when we are not at home: when we are in a foreign land or a foreign part of our own land. From Freud to Lacan to Kristeva to Heidegger, the feeling of strangenessΓÇödas UnheimlichkeitΓÇöhas marked our encounter with the other, even the other within our self. Most philosophical attempts to understand the role of the Stranger, human or transcendent, have been limited to standard epistemological problems of other minds, metaphysical substances, body/soul dualism and related issues of consciousness and cognition. This volume endeavors to take the question of hosting the stranger to the deeper level of embodied imagination and the senses (in the Greek sense of aisthesis). This volume plays host to a number of encounters with the strange. It asks such questions as: How does the embodied imagination relate to the Stranger in terms of hospitality or hostility (given the common root of hostis as both host and enemy)? How do we distinguish between projections of fear or fascination, leading to either violence or welcome? How do humans ΓÇ£senseΓÇ¥ the dimension of the strange and alien in different religions, arts, and cultures? How do the five physical senses relate to the spiritual senses, especially the famous ΓÇ£sixthΓÇ¥ sense, as portals to an encounter with the Other? Is there a carnal perception of alterity, which would operate at an affective, prereflective, preconscious level? What exactly do ΓÇ£embodied imaginariesΓÇ¥ of hospitality and hostility entail, and how do they operate in language, psychology, and social interrelations (including racism, xenophobia, and scapegoating)? And what, finally, are the topical implications of these questions for an ethics and practice of tolerance and peace?

  • - Jacques Derrida's Final Seminar
    av Michael Naas
    326 - 1 190,-

    A Derrida scholar traces the evolution of the philosopher's final seminar in Paris as he contemplates the state of the world and his own mortality. For decades, philosopher Jacques Derrida held weekly seminars in Paris, spending years at a time on a single, complex theme. From 2001 to 2003, he delivered the final work in this series, entitled ';The Beast and the Sovereign.' As this final seminar progressed, its central theme was diverted by questions of death, mourning, memory, and, especially, the end of the world. Now philosopher and Derrida scholar Michael Naas takes readers through the remarkable itinerary of Derrida's final seminar in The End of the World and Other Teachable Moments. The book begins with Derrida's analyses of the question of the animal in the context of his other published works on that subject. It then follows Derrida as a very different tone begins to emerge, one that wavers between melancholy and extraordinary lucidity with regard to the end of life. Focusing the entire second year on Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe and Martin Heidegger's seminar ';The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics,' Derrida explores questions of the end of the world and of an originary violence that is both creative and destructive. The End of the World and Other Teachable Moments follows Derrida from week to week as he responds to these emerging questions, as well as to important events unfolding around him, both world eventsthe aftermath of 9/11, the American invasion of Iraqand more personal ones, from the death of Maurice Blanchot to intimations of his own death less than two years away.

  • av Claude Romano
    586 - 1 580,-

    The book critically analyzes the subjectivization of time in traditional metaphysics (Plato, Aristotle, Augustine), as well as more recent thought (Bergson, Husserl, Heidegger), and argues that, instead, the guiding thread for the analysis of time ought to be the evential hermeneutics of the human being, developed first in Event and World and deepened and completed here.

    av Jason M. Wirth
    900,-

    This study will attempt to understand, through both a careful reading of Kundera's oeuvre as well as a consideration of the Continental philosophical tradition, the place that Kundera calls "the universe of the novel." I argue that Kundera transforms-not applies-philosophical reflection within the art form of the novel.
