This title endeavours to create a general aesthetics to face the problem of mimesis and subordination of art, using the ancient concept of continuity. As such, it is of special interest to readers of aesthetic and critical thinking, and literary and sociocultural scholars.
This title addresses a diverse range of important topics concerning the notion of knowledge, connecting them in a unifying way, and providing answers to a number of key questions concerning this concept.
A Study on Existence
Bacigalupo develops a deflationist account of existence, suggesting that there is no such thing as a nature of existence awaiting discovery. The authors discussed include Hume, Kant, Frege, the Neo-Meinongians Routley and Parsons, and the free logicians Leonard and Bencivenga.
The a priori in the Thought of Descartes
This book offers a clear and historically adequate account of the disputed issue of the exact meaning Descartes associates with the term ‘a priori’, so different from the Aristotelian usage. It will add to a better understanding of fundamental issues in the philosopher’s thought.
Giffin explores how Patrick White and his post-war contemporaries all commented on the consequences of God’s death. He shows how they worked with a shared pattern of tropes to search for the light and dark aspects of western consciousness and the civilization it has produced.
Gupta studies the Kashmiri practitioner Abhinavagupta’s two commentaries, Locana on Dhvanyāloka and Abhinavabhāratī on Nātyaśāstra. In particular, she discusses Abhinavagupta’s views on Lollata, Saankuka and Bhattanayaka, with each view followed by relevant criticism.
Kant’s Shorter Writings
Spanning the entire intellectual career of Kant, this work highlights the importance of the thinker’s shorter writings. It contrasts with other such studies of his work, which typically focus on a specific part of his career, and on either his theoretical or practical philosophy.
Theron presents what Hegel calls “the vital spirit of the actual world”, the truth, namely, of logic’s form and content as one concrete whole. He operates from the view that thinking is necessarily free and unbounded, if we escape a performative contradiction in evaluating it.
Recent Advances in the Creation of a Process-Based Worldview
This collection investigates the cutting edge in the creation of a process worldview, an important component of contemporary philosophy. It explores how process thinking can inspire us to rethink our lives, representing a bold move from academic philosophy to actual human lives.
The Philosophy Clinic
Highlighting the modern movement of ‘philosophical practice’, this collection shows philosophers’ return to the ancient understanding of philosophy as consolation and contemplation. It argues philosophy is a path and issues a living praxis devoted to daily spiritual exercises.
Gathering the theoretical grounds for research in Gestalt therapy, this work introduces useful research methods and presents relevant research projects. It fills a void in an area that requires more information by sharing some of the Gestalt research that is emerging.
Metaphorical Imagination
Abdullah tells the story of an intellectual journey with metaphor in this book. He revisits the epistemology and ontology of evidence and challenges the dualist norms of social research, points to the failings, and flags up directions for researchers who take evidence seriously.
Nietzsche’s Will to Power
Belliotti’s text adds to Nietzschean scholarship in its analysis of the concept of power as preliminary to addressing Nietzsche’s psychological notion of will to power. He argues that it cannot be understood as merely a first-order drive to attain and exert power.
Deriving from the “European Summer School for Process Thought”, this volume explores A.N. Whitehead’s thinking in different fields of science. The first part concerns Whitehead’s philosophical methodology and the second discusses applications for concepts of Whitehead’s thinking.
The Crisis in the Humanities
This volume advances transdisciplinarity in order to study the place of the humanities in our society, and challenges the ways that issues which form the foci of various disciplines have been addressed in recent theoretical discourses.
Review Journal of Political Philosophy Vol. 12
Containing articles from a Joseph Fishkin symposium on Bottlenecks, this journal brings together essays and discussions in moral and political philosophy, broadly-construed. This edition includes R.D. Emerick’s “‘Torture’ and Metaphor,” published for the first time.
Elemental Sensuous
Under the guidance of phenomenological insights, this book presents the sensuous in its elemental sense. It explains how the sensuous, as elemental, irreducibly expresses itself in multiple ways, allowing the reader to become more aware of themselves and the world around them.
Imagining the Self, Constructing the Past
This volume celebrates the ways the Middle Ages and Renaissance are represented in our own age. The contributions bear witness to the importance of representation to our understanding of ourselves, each other, and our shared past.
Essays on the Condition of Inwardness
Will deals with inwardness in two different senses, the first as the center of existence, and the second as a quest for the meaning of the center of one’s existence. The text culminates with tales of searching for the meaning of interiority, as it self-characterises.
Lovasz deals primarily with absentology, an ontological and social-scientific epistemological mode, dedicated to the analysis of absence. His monograph is drawn by manifestations of absence and deals with three terms, ‘the shadow economy’, ‘corruption’ and ‘pollution’.
