Thomas Reid: Ethics, Aesthetics and the anatomy of the self.

Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998, 1. Hardcover. 198 pp. As New. This book is a critical exposition of Reid's philosophical anatomy of the self, his moralphilosophy and his aesthetics, and is aimed at an advanced undergraduateand graduate readership. Those familiar with Reid scholarship will beonly too aware of how little attention has been paid of late to Reid'saccounts of beauty, of sublimity and aesthetic assessment, compared withhis moral philosophy and philosophy of action. One main purpose of thisbook is to help remedy this imbalance, if only because of the veryconsiderable impact of Reid's aesthetic thought in nineteenth centuryFrance. Notoriously Reid presents his accounts of moral and aestheticjudgment as the fruits of a sense of morals and of taste. Accordinglyhis position on the nature of a sense needs to be carefully considered,as well as his position on the origin of conceptions needed for thedeployment of a sense. The Lehrer-Smith III computational computer modelof Reidian faculties is assessed at some length as a seriouscontribution to this task, especially since its employment would seem topresuppose positions at odds with crucial components in Reid's account,which is also presented in the book, of the self as thinker,decision-maker and moral agent exercising both active and speculativepower..

Gibson, Marion

Reading Witchcraft. Stories of Early English Witches.

London, Routledge, 1999, Paperback, 242 pp., zgan. Exploring the stories told by and about witches and their victims , this text questions what can be recovered from their trial records, early news books, pamphlets and personal accounts. In her wide-ranging selection of original sources, Marion Gibson seeks to discover the truthfulness of stories of witchcraft. Who told them and why? How were they recorded? And how might they have been distorted or stereotyped? This book looks closely at these legal documents and printed pamphlets and shows that their representations of witchcraft are far from straightforward. Even the simplest story can mask a complex creative process which sometimes led to the deaths of innocent people. We are left with a record of the power of the human imagination.. ISBN: 97804212

Beyond the Inner and the Outer / Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Psychology

Springer, 1990, Hardcover with Dustjacket, 340 pp., Very Good, only some rust spots on upper cut, Translation from Dutch Anthony P. Runia. Wittgenstein's aphoristic style holds great charm, but also a great danger: the reader is apt to glean too much from a single fragment and too little from the fragments as a whole. In my first confron tations with the Philosophical Investigations I was such a reader, and so, it turned out, were most of the writers on Wittgenstein's later philosophy. Wittgenstein's remarkable ability to bring together many facets of his thought in one fragment is fully exploited in the critical literature; but hardly any attention is paid to the connection with other fragments, let alone to the many hitherto unpublished manuscripts of which the Philosophical Investigations is the final product. The result of this fragmentary and ahistorical approach to Wittgenstein's later work is a host of contradictory interpretations. What Wittgenstein really wanted to say remains insufficiently clear. Opinions are also strongly divided about the value of his work. Some authors have been encouraged by his aphorisms and rhetorical questions to dismiss the whole Cartesian tradition or to halt new movements in linguistics or psychology; others, exasperated, reject his philo sophy as anti-scientific conceptual conservatism. After consulting unpublished notebooks and manuscripts which Wittgenstein wrote between 1929 and 1951, I became a very different reader. Wittgenstein turned out to be a kind of Leonardo da Vinci, who pursued a form from which every sign of chisel ling, every attempt at improvement, had been effaced.. ISBN: 97807912

Enduring Resistance/La Resistance Persevere: Cultural Theory after Derrida / La theorie de la culture (d')apres Derrida

Brill, 2010, Paperback, 346 pp., Very good/as new. Addressing both the humanities and the social sciences, this volume aims to explore the enduring significance of the work of Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) in the field of cultural theory. It assembles a variety of articles by internationally renowned scholars from different academic disciplines and traditions. Contrary to recent commemorative publications on Derrida's oeuvre, this volume proposes to critically evaluate and rethink key concepts in Derrida's work within the present state of affairs in cultural theory. Centred around four main topics (manoeuvres, societies, images and fictions), the sections propose a creative and contemporary reading of 'Derrida' and its openings to new work in cultural theory. Ce livre qui se destine à la fois aux humanités et aux études sociales tente d'explorer la signification durable de l'œuvre de Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) dans le champ de la théorie culturelle. Il rassemble un ensemble d'articles variés écrits par des chercheurs de renommée internationale provenant de différentes disciplines et traditions académiques. S'opposant par là à la majorité du flot de publications récentes sur l'œuvre de Derrida ce volume se propose d'évaluer et de repenser d'un point de vue critique les concepts clé de Derrida tenant compte de l'état actuel de la recherche en études culturelles. Centrées autour de quatre domaines majeurs (manœuvres - sociétés - images - fictions), les sections offrent une lecture créatrice et actuelle de 'Derrida' et des ouvertures que sa pensée permet vers une nouvelle idée de la théorie culturelle..

La femme et le pantin

Bruxelles, Aux Éditions du Nord, 1936, 1er ouvrage paru dans la collection "Flamma Tenax", in 4 de 190-(6) pp., Illustrations de Philippe Swyncop de la couverture et de 16 compositions hors-texte à pleine-page, quelques illustrations en culs-de-lampe et en noir. 3000 ex. num. 223. Durant le Carnaval de Séville, le Français André Stévenol, tombe sous le charme d'une jeune andalouse, Conception Perez. Ils échangent un rapide signe prometteur et cherchent aussitôt à se revoir. André confesse cette situation auprès de son ami don Mateo qui sursaute et qui se décide, afin de le mettre en garde, à lui faire le récit de sa douloureuse aventure avec la jeune femme dont il fut le pantin..... L'œuvre n'est pas une autobiographie, mais plusieurs scènes du livre sont directement inspirées par les voyages de l'auteur, notamment en Espagne (le train et les avalanches de neige dans les Pyrénées, l'altercation entre une jeune fille et une gitane, le carnaval de Séville…)1, mais aussi par la relation de Casanova avec la Charpillon, prostituée londonienne qui le ruine et le trompe.

Derrida on the Mend

Purdue University Press, 1986, Hardcover (linnen), with Dustjacket. 238 pp. Very Good, dj has some wear. The book has four parts. The first provides a lengthy explication and critique of Derrida, a service still much needed by today's philosophers and literary theorists. The second part locates a recension of Heideggerian thought at a site the author calls centric mysticism. Throughout this section, there are original applications to literature. The third part presents the full-scale analysis of Nagarjunist technique, and then goes on to develop a "differential" Zen contrasting very much with the "centric" Zen of Suzuki. Replete with treatments of Buddhist poetry, it is bound to be of great interest to Buddhologists. The fourth part applies "differentialism" to monotheism and Christian theology and develops a non-entitative trinitarianism, which will revise, it is hoped, contemporary theology significantly. Two appendices, in a concrete way, apply to literary theory and criticism what the author has worked out in the body of the book.. ISBN: 97809112
