Alienation and Freedom

The Pornographic Age

Frantz Fanon

Alain Badiou, École Normale Supérieure, France

Edited by Jean Khalfa

Translated by A. J. Bartlett & Justin Clemens, University of Melbourne

Translated by Steven Corcoran Never before published in English, Alienation and Freedom is a rare opportunity to read the last writings of a major 20th-century philosopher, whose disruptive and moving work continues to shape how we look at the world.

Frantz Fanon is regarded as a foundational thinker of Postcolonial Studies, bringing together the analysis of colonialism from an objective, historical perspective and an interrogation of its subjective effects on colonizer and colonized alike. This book furthers his powerful intervention into how we think about identity, race and activism and provides a unique insight into Fanon's literary, psychiatric and journalistic theories.

Glimpse of Light New Meditations on First Philosophy Stephen Mumford, Durham University, UK This lively challenge to Descartes, written in the style of Descartes' Meditations, presents a new way of understanding reality. Philosopher Benedict Chilwell faces a crisis of confidence and hopes to resolve it in a self-imposed exile, far away in the north of Norway. From his cabin, he begins his meditations, pondering the mysteries of philosophy in the dark Arctic winter. In six days approaching the return of the light, Benedict discovers a basis for certainty and tries his best to convince his hosts. Through doubts, questions and reasoning, Chilwell inadvertently follows in Descartes’ footsteps.

Through a close analysis of Genet's play The Balcony, this is a searing critique of the current age and its democratic systems of power. Badiou argues that true radical politics must begin by dismantling the obscene or pornographic relations of parliamentary capitalism.

Accompanied by critical commentary from Badiou translators and scholars A.J. Bartlett and Justin Clemens, he asks us to confront the debasement of the political realities of the present, to galvanize ourselves to action.

How to Be a Marxist in Philosophy Louis Althusser, 16 October 1918 – 22 October 1990) was a French Marxist philosopher.

Translated by G. M. Goshgarian With a superb introduction from translator and Althusser archivist G.M. Goshgarian, this provocative, and often controversial book reinspires contemporary Marxist thought and reinvigorates our notions of what political activism can be.

In this first ever English translation, one of the most famous Marxist philosophers of the 20th century shares his concept of what it means to be a forceful and fruitful political thinker.

Judged

Kafka

Why No One Will Truly Understand You

In Light of the Accident

Ziyad Marar, Deputy Managing Director and Executive Vice President Global Publishing at SAGE Publications

Howard Caygill, Kingston University, UK

Everyone fears being judged. One foolish tweet can destroy a career, one careless image can damage a life.

We cannot be social beings without participating in acts of judgement; our increasing preoccupation with online 'selves' and our reputations intensifies this experience. Marar's provocative exploration of our contemporary world responds to the fragility of reputation and our determination to judge at every available opportunity.

Tracing our judgemental journeys using examples from the everyday and popular culture including ‘Breaking Bad’, Shakespeare and Philip Roth, Marar questions whether, in the end, our reputations are as important as we think they are.

A philosophical call to arms, Alain Badiou offers a compelling indictment of our contemporary society.

The author of the bestselling On Resistance provides us with a radical way of reading Kafka: via the pivotal theme of the accident.

Caygill reveals how Kafka’s legacy was governed by a series of accidents, such as Max Brod’s posthumous publication of the novels, or the misguided correction of ‘misprints’. Focusing on the accident casts light on the role of ‘media’ in Kafka’s work, particularly visual media and photography.

Overturning notions of the ‘kafkaesque’, Kafka’s work becomes a narration of defiance which affirms, often comically, the role of error and contingency in historical struggle, with emphasis on radical Judaism, European socialist and feminist movements, and subaltern histories.

Our Country

Corresponding with Ludwig

Britain, Resolution and Resolve

Edited by Brian McGuinness

Roger Scruton

Translated by Peter Winslow Translated into English for the first time, these letters between Ludwig and his siblings reveal a side of Wittgenstein few would have known. Their intimacy offers new insights into his relationships and groundbreaking ideas.

Using a different tone for each of his siblings, he creates distinct portraits. The open tone to Hermine, a mother figure; the practical, joking tone to Paul; the loving and witty tone to Helene Salzer. Spanning fifty years, the letters collected here illuminate Wittgenstein as never before.

In this bracingly controversial book, Roger Scruton revisits the foundations of our national experience, surveying the British legacy – social, cultural, legal and political – and animating the sentiments that attach us to it. He asks to what are our duties owed, and why? How do we respond to the pull of globalisation, to mass migration, to the rise of Islam and to the decline of Christian belief? Do we accept these things as inevitable, or do we resist? And if we resist, on what basis do we build? An invitation to join, rather than an attempt to condemn, Our Country is also a summary of Scruton’s life’s work as a writer and philosopher.

Dissenting Words Jacques Rancière, University of Paris VIII, France

The Existentialist's Guide to Death, the Universe and Nothingness

Edited and translated by Emiliano Battista

Gary Cox, University of Birmingham, UK

Interviews with Jacques Rancière

Through these dialogues Jacques Rancière offers us an incisive overview of his philosophical project, from its beginnings during the ‘Red Years’ in France to its most recent formulations. It supplements Rancière's scholarly and theoretical works with his reflections on the continuities, turns, ruptures and deviations in his thought. In a conversational style brimming with informative asides into current events, Dissenting Words draws upon examples ranging from the history of the workers' struggle to literature, cinema and the arts - all of which we have learned to associate with Rancière.

‘Here the bestselling author of How to Be an Existentialist delivers a crunchier, more technical reading of the views of Sartre, De Beauvoir, Heidegger and others ... Cox leads the reader well through vivid examples’ - The Guardian An entertaining philosophical guide to life, love, hate, freedom, sex, anxiety, God and death; a guide to everything and nothing.

Taking us on a journey which fascinates, provokes and inspires, Cox explores existentialism's uncompromising view of human reality.

Addressing the challenge of living honestly and authentically, he sets the wisdom of the existentialist philosophers alongside the wit of great musicians and comedians.

Bloomsbury Revelations Bringing together books and thinkers that have opened up startling new ways of looking at the world, the Bloomsbury Revelations series celebrates the originality and excellence of Bloomsbury’s non-fiction publishing, this is an essential library of the thinkers who have fundamentally shaped the way we see the modern world.

Logics of Worlds

Neither Man nor Beast

Being and Event II

Feminism and the Defense of Animals

Alain Badiou, École Normale Supérieure, France

Carol J. Adams, Activist and Freelance Author, USA

Translated by Alberto Toscano Logics of Worlds is the sequel to Alain Badiou's masterpiece, Being and Event. Tackling the questions that had been left open by Being and Event, and answering many of his critics in the process, Badiou supplements his pioneering treatment of multiple being with a daring and complex theory of the worlds in which truths and subjects make their mark - what he calls a materialist dialectic. Drawing on his most ambitious philosophical predecessors Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Lacan, Deleuze – Badiou ends this important later work with an impassioned call to 'live for an Idea'.

In this landmark work of animal rights activism, Carol Adams - the bestselling author of The Sexual Politics of Meat - explores the intersections and common causes of feminism and the defense of animals. Neither Man Nor Beast explores the common link between cultural attitudes to women and animals in modern Western culture that have enabled the systematic exploitation of both. A vivid work that takes in environmental ethics, theological perspectives and feminist theory, the Bloomsbury Revelations edition includes a new foreword by the author and new images illustrating the continuing relevance of the book today.

Roots for Radicals

Francis Bacon

Organizing for Power, Action, and Justice

The Logic of Sensation

Edward T. Chambers

Gilles Deleuze

The successor to the legendary activist Saul Alinsky, Edward T. Chambers pioneered a set of principles and practices that have guided community organizations throughout the US and the world.

Roots for Radicals remains his definitive reflection on these fundamental principles of community activism: how, as public citizens, we can navigate the gap between the world as it is and as it should be, between self-interest and self-sacrifice and in doing so create lasting change for our communities.

In the face of the increasingly turbulent politics of the 21st-century, Chambers’s book has never been more relevant.

In this landmark text by one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, Gilles Deleuze takes the paintings of Francis Bacon as his object of his study. The book presents a deep engagement with Bacon's work and the nature of art. Deleuze analyzes the distinctive innovations that came to mark Bacon's style: the isolation of the figure, the violation deformations of the flesh, the complex use of color, the method of chance, and the use of the triptych form.

Beyond the Chains of Illusion

Henri Lefebvre

My Encounter with Marx and Freud

Edited by Stuart Elden, Elizabeth Lebas & Eleonore Kofman

Erich Fromm

Henri Lefebvre is widely recognized as one of the most influential social theorists of the Twentieth Century. His writings on cities, everyday life, and the production of space have become hugely influential across Cultural Studies, Sociology, Geography and Architecture. Key Writings presents the full range of Lefebvre's thought in a single volume. The selection of essays spanning 1933 to 1990, reinforce the relevance of Lefebvre's work to current debates in social theory, politics and philosophy.

First published in 1962 Beyond the Chains of Illusion is Fromm’s landmark book about Marx and Freud.

Here he delivers original readings of these hugely influential thinkers and, in doing so, offers us new ways of understanding the individual and society.

Perhaps even more revealing than these readings is the insight we get into Fromm’s own thought and the political and social contexts in which he formed his ideas. Including a foreword by Fromm’s Literary Executor, Rainer Funk, this is unique introduction to Marx and Freud and also to Fromm’s life and thought.

Entre Nous Emmanuel Levinas Entre Nous is a major collection of essays representing the culmination of Emmanuel Levinas's philosophy. Bringing together his most important work in a single volume the book reveals the development of his thought over nearly forty years of committed inquiry. Here he engages with issues of suffering, love, religion, culture, justice, human rights, and legal theory and each issue is discussed in relation to the ethical dimensions of otherness. Like much of his work this text bridges several major gaps in the evolution of Continental philosophy, between modernism and postmodernism, phenomenology and poststructuralism, ethics and ontology.

Can't We Make Moral Judgements?

Mary Midgley In this classic text, the renowned moral philosopher Mary Midgely turns a spotlight on the ever popular stance in society that we should not make moral judgements on others. She interrogates our scepticism about making moral judgements and shows how the question of whether or not we can make them must inevitably affect our attitudes to the law, its institutions and events that occur in our daily lives. Calling upon Nietzsche and Sartre, P.D. James and the Bhagavad Gita, she suggests our mistrust of moral judgements may be making life even harder for us than it should be.

Evolution and Conversion

The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic

Dialogues on the Origins of Culture

Philosophies of Desire in the Modern World

René Girard

P R I M A RY P H I L O S O P H Y

Key Writings

Mario Perniola

Presented as a series of conversations, Evolution and Conversion is a thorough discussion of the major tenets of Girard's thought. One of the most brilliant intellectuals of the 20th century, this book examines his theory on the imitative nature of desire; the violent origin of culture; and his consideration of an evolutionary perspective to explain the emergence of culture and institutions. In the final chapters his provocative re-reading of the Biblical texts reveals an enduring process of historical awareness of the presence and function of collective violence in our world.

In The Sex Appeal of the Inorganic, Mario Perniola puts forth the radical argument that we are shifting away from organic sexuality, based on desire and pleasure, and moving towards a more neutral inorganic and artificial sexuality, a sexuality always available but indifferent to beauty, age or form. Perniola takes the reader on a tour of Western philosophy, from Descartes, Kant and Hegel to Heidegger, Wittgenstein and Sartre, to reframe our understanding of personal experience and the aesthetic world around us.

Enduring Time

Philosophies of Difference

Lisa Baraitser, Birkbeck, University of London, UK

A Critical Introduction to Non-philosophy

Permanent debt, violent conflict, climate change, economic instability, and widening social inequalities have led to dramatic changes in the ways we imagine and experience time. How do we go on when we seem to be living in the ‘end times’, trapped in a state of ‘non-stop inertia’?

Enduring Time proposes some alternative relations of time which provide hopeful alternatives to the dominating models of oppression, limitation and exploitation.

A strikingly original philosophy of time which also provides a rigorous and detailed survey of contemporary theories of time, Enduring Time is an indispensable read for those attempting to live meaningfully.

Francois Laruelle, Université de Paris X, Nanterre, France A crucial text in Laruelle's oeuvre and an excellent starting point for understanding his broader project, Philosophies of Difference offers a theoretical and critical analysis of the philosophers of difference after Hegel and Nietzsche, introducing a new theoretical practice of non-philosophical thought.

Rather than presenting a narrative historical overview, Laruelle provides a series of rigorous critiques of the interpretations of difference in Hegel, Nietzsche and Deleuze, Heidegger and Derrida.

From Laruelle's innovative theoretical perspective, the forms of philosophical difference that emerge as variations upon a unique, highly abstract structure of philosophical decision, the self-posing and self-legitimating essence of philosophy itself.

The Withholding Power

Existentialism through Film

An Essay on Political Theology

Daniel Shaw, Lock Haven University, USA

Massimo Cacciari

Film is filled with philosophy. What can Blade Runner show us about Heidegger? What does Revolutionary Road reveal about Beauvoir?

Translated by Edi Pucci

Shaw demonstrates existential philosophies in action with close readings of classic writings from the thought of the most significant existentialist thinkers, illustrated through cult and popular cinema that reveal striking parallels.

Individual chapters include useful excerpts from the original texts being discussed and illustrated. Organized chronologically, like most existentialism anthologies, this is ideal as a textbook for an intermediate level existentialism course, or as a companion to a selection of primary texts.

The first English translation of Massimo Cacciari’s work The Witholding Power announces a prominent and provocative figure in Italian philosophy and political thought. A notoriously complex thinker, this title offers a starting point for entering into the very heart of his philosophy, providing a comprehensive and synthetic insight into his interpretation of Christian political theology and leftist Italian political theory more generally.

With an introduction by Howard Caygill contextualizing the work within the history of Italian thought, this title will offer those coming to Cacciari for the first time a searing insight into his political, theological and philosophical milieu.

Posthuman Glossary

General Ecology

Edited by Rosi Braidotti, Utrecht University, The Netherlands & Maria Hlavajova

The New Ecological Paradigm

We are experiencing a “posthuman condition”; the combination of global capitalism, migration, technological advances, environmental destruction, and war on terror, with a troublesome reiteration of old, unresolved socio-political problems means the concept of the human as we knew it has undergone dramatic transformations. Posthuman Glossary outlines the critical terms of posthumanity in present-day artistic and intellectual work.

It builds on the broad thematic topics of Anthropocene/Capitalocene, ecosophies, digital activism, algorithmic cultures and security and the inhuman. A completely original and unique work, it bridges disciplines, terminologies, and critical communities, unlocking the terms of the posthuman for students and researchers alike.

Edited by Erich Hörl, Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany Ecology has become one of the most urgent and lively fields in the humanities and sciences. In a dramatic widening of scope beyond its original concern with the coexistence of living organisms within a natural environment, it is now recognized there is a proliferation of ecologies across the social, technological, and psychological.

In this ambitious and radical new volume of writings, some of the most exciting contemporary thinkers reveal and theorize the extent of the ecologization of existence as the effect of our contemporary socio-technological condition: together, they bring out the complexity and urgency of the challenge of ecological thought.

Badiou and Indifferent Being

Character

A Critical Introduction to Being and Event

Jay R. Elliott, Bard College, USA

William Watkin

Why do people do evil? How can we do better?

Philosophers in the tradition of 'virtue ethics' argue that we act badly due to failures in our character, and by practicing courage, honesty, and fairness we can improve ourselves. However 'situationist' philosophers argue that our situation matters more than our character.

‘Watkin’s is a very important book. It returns us to what is most gripping about Badiou: his stark, courageous and deeply uncontemporary asceticism.’

Andrew Gibson, former Research Professor of Modern Literature and Theory, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK This is the first systematic account of Badiou’s Being and Event since the dramatic modifications he made to his philosophy in Logics of Worlds, published twenty years later. Uniquely, it also draws out the category of indifference as a central component of Badiou’s ontology.

It is a seminal source text for all Badiou readers.

Suspensions Series Editors: Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh, Jersey City University, USA & Lucian Stone, The University of North Dakota, USA This series interrupts standardized discourses involving the Middle East and the Islamicate world by introducing emerging ideas. The incisive works included in this series provide a counterpoint to the reigning canons of theory, theology, philosophy, literature, and criticism through investigations of vast experiential typologies - such as violence, mourning, vulnerability, tension, and humour - in light of contemporary Middle Eastern and Islamicate thought.

Transgression and the Inexistent A Philosophical Vocabulary Mehdi Belhaj Kacem Translated by P. Burcu Yalim A contemporary philosopher of Tunisian origin, Kacem is published here in paperback, in English, for the first time.

Transgression and the Inexistent lays out the essential concepts of his philosophical system: it is the most complete and synthetic book of his philosophical work, as well as being one of the most provocative in its claims. As a Francophone author engaging with contemporary world thought, he is able to develop novel philosophical perspectives that reach beyond the Middle East or the Continental, and the East/ West binary.

Gilles Deleuze, Postcolonial Theory, and the Philosophy of Limit Réda Bensmaïa, Brown University, USA Réda Bensmaïa is one of the most important voices in the study of Gilles Deleuze. This volume is a remarkable experiment, bringing Deleuze’s thought into that other territory which Bensmaïa has so impressively travelled, postcolonial theory.

Bensmaïa shows how Deleuze’s philosophical and political cartography can be used to chart paths through postcolonial theory, demonstrating that any attempt to think through the questions raised by postcolonial theory will have to take at least some of its bearings using Deleuze’s writings.

Drawing upon analyses developed by Girard, Foucault, Blanchot, and Levinas (along with examples from Homer to Beckett), Möbian Nights proposes that all literature works “autobiographically”, which is to say, in the wake of disaster; with the credo “I died; therefore, I am”; and for which the language of topology (for example, the “Möbius strip”") offers a vocabulary for naming the “deep structure” of such literary, critical, and scriptural sacrificial and anti-sacrificial dynamics.

Bloomsbury Studies in Continental Philosophy presents cutting-edge scholarship in the field of modern European thought. The wholly original arguments, perspectives and research findings in titles in this series make it an important and stimulating resource for students and academics from across the discipline.

Phenomenology and the Social Context of Psychiatry

Deleuze and Becoming

Social Relations, Psychopathology, and Husserl's Philosophy

Deleuze’s concept of ‘becoming’ provides the key to his notoriously complex metaphysics, yet he never systematized it. Bankston tracks both the concept across Deleuze’s writings and its underlying ontological and temporal processes, arguing that expressions of becoming(s) appear in one of two temporal registers: an appropriation of Nietzsche’s concept of eternal return, and Bergsonian duration.

Edited by Magnus Englander, Malmö University, Sweden Finding a common language between psychiatrists, anti-psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, this is an interdisciplinary volume which establishes the essence and foundations of phenomenological philosophy as it relates to psychiatry and the social world.

Using Husserl as a point of departure, empathy, interpersonal understanding, we-intentionality, ethics, citizenship, and social inclusion are investigated in relation to psychopathology, nosology, and clinical research. Drawing upon the rich classical and contemporary phenomenological tradition, it touches on a broad range of thinkers such as Deleuze, Levinas, and R.D. Laing.

Samantha Bankston, Sierra Nevada College, USA

Overturning the criticisms launched by Žižek and Badiou, with conceptual encounters between Bergson, Nietzsche, Leibniz, Borges, Klossowski, and Proust, the newly charted concept of double becoming provides a roadmap to the totality of Deleuze’s philosophy.

Mahon O'Brien, University of Sussex, UK

This book is an important contribution to the longstanding debate concerning Martin Heidegger's association with some of the most significant and terrible events of the 20th century: National Socialism and the Holocaust.

This is a difficulty topic, but this book moves the entire debate on 'Heidegger and the Political' forward. This is a genuinely philosophical approach to the 'Heidegger problem' and a much-needed historical re-examination of his ideas, influences and issues.

Heidegger's Linguistics 'In this sustained and intensely focused exposition of what Heidegger can teach us about language Williams not only helps Heidegger beginners and sceptics to see that something important is going on in these texts, but also offers new insight to established Heidegger readers. Williams is especially attentive to the proximity of Heideggerian thinking to mystical and East Asian thought as well as to its poetic dimension. He shows how Heidegger can assist us in reflecting on human beings' spiritual needs in a time threatened by the seemingly unstoppable reduction of communication to information, management-speak, and data.'

Keith Whitmoyer, New York City College of Technology, USA

1) by unearthing a new reading of the Lacanian category of the real 2) by demonstrating the political and cultural ingenuity of Lacan’s concept of the real, and by positioning this against the more reductive analyses of the concept by Slavoj Žižek, Alain Badiou, Saul Newman, Todd May, Joan Copjec, Jacques Rancière, and others 3) by arguing that the subject exists intimately within the real.

Mortal Thought

This book argues that at play in the thought of Merleau-Ponty is a philosophy of “ontological lateness”: the manner in which philosophical reflection is fated to lag behind its objects and, therefore, an absolute grasp on being remains beyond its reach.

Merleau-Ponty articulates this philosophy against the backdrop of what he calls “cruel thought”, a style of reflecting that seeks resolution by limiting, circumscribing, and arresting its object. By contrast, the philosophy of ontological lateness seeks no such final unveiling but is characterized by its ability to accept the veiling of being and its own constitutive lack of punctuality.

Beginning with the point of departure of Hölderlin in Kant and Fichte, this book outlines the novel philosophical innovations of Hölderlin, and their influence upon philosophy from the 19th century to the present day.

Mortal Thought lays out a concise, comprehensive account of the emergence of Hölderlin as philosopher and poet, of his influence upon the four dominant strands of Continental philosophy – Nietzsche, Heidegger, Critical Theory and Poet-structuralism – and of his continuing relevance to philosophical research today.

Hegel and Resistance History, Politics and Dialectics Edited by Bart Zantvoort, Nexus Institute, Netherlands & Rebecca Comay, University of Toronto, Canada The concept of resistance has always been central to the reception of Hegel’s philosophy.

This book brings together established and new voices in this field to touch firstly upon the political: is there a place, according to Hegel, for political resistance, or must we submit to the power of the state? Secondly, what is the role of resistance in history, and in to relation to historical progress? And finally, does his system allow for moments of resistance or new insights?

Modern philosophy can be viewed as thinking in the wake of Hegel, but the question of how to resist Hegel – and whether he needs to be resisted – remains crucial.

Egalitarian Moments: From Descartes to Rancière Devin Zane Shaw, University of Ottawa, Canada Jacques Rancière’s work has challenged many of the assumptions of contemporary continental philosophy by placing equality at the forefront of emancipatory politics. Drawing on the claim that egalitarian politics persistently appropriates elements from political philosophy to engage new forms of dissensus, Devin Zane Shaw argues that Rancière also provides an opportunity to reconsider modern philosophy and aesthetics in light of the question of equality.

From engaging debates about political subjectivity from Descartes to Sartre, to delineating the egalitarian stakes in aesthetics from Schiller to Badiou, this book presents a concise tour through egalitarian moments found within histories of modern philosophy.

Walter Benjamin and Giorgio Agamben

Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis, Philosophy

Edited by Brendan Moran, University of Calgary, Canada & Carlo Salzani, Monash University, Australia 'The articles in this volume take up the challenge of rereading Benjamin after Agamben, and do so with the utmost seriousness, erudition, argumentativeness and incisiveness. Clarifying without simplifying, and extending without falsification, this collection will be indispensable not only for students and scholars of Benjamin and Agamben, but for its critical discussions concerning the relations between myth, law, violence nand justice.'

Edited by Simon Morgan Wortham, Kingston, University London, UK & Chiara Alfano This collection considers: how best to recall deconstruction? Rather than reduce it to an object of historical importance or memory, these essays analyze its significance in terms of complex matrices of desire; provoked in this way, deconstruction cannot be dismissed as 'dead', nor unproblematically defended as alive and well.

Justin Clemens, Senior Lecturer in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne, Australia

Repositioned on the threshold of life-death, deconstruction profoundly complicates the field of critical thought which still struggles to memorialize, inter, or reduce the deconstructive corpus to ashes.

‘A brilliant and lucid account of the spatial thought of Gilles Deleuze and his sidekick Félix Guattari, that will delight and inspire geographers and philosophers alike. By channelling the geocommunist spirit of Deleuze and Guattari, Arun Saldanha maps out a thinking space that is truly worthy of life on earth – a revolutionary geophilosophy fit for the Anthropocene.

With clear thinking and graceful writing, Burton boldly indicates a “perturbation in the reality field” of contemporary materialism.'

There is little doubt that it will form an important contribution to debates about the work of the philosopher Jacques Derrida, but also the relationship between ethics, politics, ontology, psychoanalysis, and it’s designated “object”, the existential and moral phenomenon of mourning.’

The first of its kind, presenting the relationship between these two thinkers on elements of contemporary culture that they shared interests in.

Including the nature of life in the modern world, philosophy as a way of life, the book discusses the ways in which we ought to read and write about other philosophers.

The editors and contributing authors are leading figures in Foucault and Nietzsche studies, and their contributions reflect the diversity of approaches possible in coming to terms with the Foucault-Nietzsche relationship.

Nihilism and Truth in Philosophy

Dialectic of the Ladder

Gideon Baker, Griffith University, Australia

Wittgenstein, the 'Tractatus' and Modernism

The question of nihilism is always a question of truth. When truth is taken as the measure of existence, the crisis of truth becomes an experience of the nothingness of existence. How, then, did truth become this measure? The short answer is: philosophy.

The philosophical will to truth opens the door to nihilism since it both makes truth the utmost thing and continually calls truth into question. Considering the crisis of truth and the loss of world that occurs within nihilistic thought to be inseparable, Baker develops his central insight in a wide-ranging study from antiquity to the present, from ancient Cynics, St Paul, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Agamben, and Badiou.

On Freedom

The Critique of Humanity

Technology, Capital, Medium

Andrew Gibson, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

Peter Trawny, Bergische University, Germany

‘Misanthropy is elegant, irresistibly humorous, and genuinely informative, on a subject which has a most fascinating history and, as Gibson shows, is also pressingly relevant for the here and now. Accessibly written and eminently readable Gibson’s is a mature critical voice, learned, intelligent and lucid, provoking and enlightening the reader at every turn.’ - Jonathan Dollimore Gibson moves deftly from discussing misanthropy in relation to internal sin, social alienation, and comic performativity, to consumerist culture and the horrors of colonialism. Through Moliere, Swift, Beckett, Twain, and Woolf, Gibson addresses with affection and empathy whether a philosophy of the misanthrope is possible, and ultimately explores what kind of creature the human really is.

How to Sleep The Art, Biology and Culture of Unconsciousness Matthew Fuller, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK Humans spend around a third of their lives asleep.

However is one that is relatively unattended to in terms of cultural, political, or aesthetic thought.

Drawing on the history and findings of sleep science How to Sleep argues that sleep is a complex vital phenomena with a dynamic aesthetic and biological consistency, and complements biopolitical accounts of sleep: a space of recuperative passivity disrupted and capitalised upon by media systems, work and commodification.

Arguing through examples drawn from contemporary, modern and renaissance art, literature, film and computational media cultures, this book argues for a complex interplay between biology and culture.

Spinoza's Authority Volume II Resistance and Power in the Political Treatises Edited by A. Kiarina Kordela, Macalester College, USA & Dimitris Vardoulakis, University of Western Sydney, Australia Spinoza’s political thought has been subject to a significant revival of interest in recent years, helping scholars reinterpret and rethink the political present.

Spinoza’s Authority makes a significant contribution to this ongoing reception and utilization of Spinoza’s political thought, and takes the 1670 text, Theologico-Political Treatise, as a primary focal point.

Featuring internationally established theorists of Spinoza’s work and taking the concept of authority as an original framework, this books asks: How is authority related to law, memory, and conflict in Spinoza’s political thought? And what are the social and historical processes that produce authority, power and resistance?

Translated by Richard Lambert How do we challenge the structures of late capitalism if all possible media through which to do this is inescapably capitalist?

This urgent political question is at the heart of Peter Trawny's major new work. The notion of personal or societal freedom has never been more controversial or, seemingly, more far from our grasp. Trawny builds an almost Utopian vision of how to break out of the mediums in which we operate and experience a new kind of freedom. An ambitious, lively yet completely rigorous work, this book offers a fascinating philosophical vision of how to live and live well.

The Political Philosophy of G. A. Cohen Back to Socialist Basics Nicholas Vrousalis, University of Cambridge, UK The first full-length study on the unity of Cohen's political thought. It proceeds thematically, studying a range of fundamental concepts such as materialism, freedom, equality, fraternity and the market, all the while revisiting Cohen’s seminal treatment of Marx, Nozick, Dworkin, Rawls and Sen. Nicholas Vrousalis brings together the diverse strands of argument in Cohen's thought and critically reconstructs them in the context of contemporary debates in social and political theory. This reconstruction highlights common threads running through Cohen's numerous contributions to contemporary philosophy, without underrating the inevitable tensions between them.

The History and Philosophy of Science: A Reader

Introduction to Applied Ethics

Edited by Daniel J. McKaughan, Boston College, USA & Holly VandeWall, Boston College, USA

Few people make moral judgments by taking theory first and then “applying” it. This ethics textbook, purpose built for undergraduates in mind, works in the same way as we do when we begin thinking ethically – by encountering practical moral problems and then introducing the theory for understanding and interrogating the issues.

Robert L. Holmes, University of Rochester, USA

With seminal texts from antiquity to the end of the 19th century accessible in one volume for the first time, this reader covers major classical, medieval and modern texts and figures from the natural sciences, such as including Aristotle, Copernicus, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, Darwin and Faraday. Readings are grouped by topic to clarify the development of methods and the unification of theories. Each section includes an introduction, further reading suggestions and discussion questions, allowing students to develop the skills needed to read, interpret, and critically engage with central problems and ideas from the history and philosophy of science.

Holmes presents real examples of recognizable ethical problems, from widely resolved judgements around racism and sexism, to controversial debates such as assisted suicide, with supportive philosophical source material. We are encouraged not to accept uncritically what anyone says; the mission of the book is to foster informed, independent critical thinking.

Getting Science Wrong Paul Dicken, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Germany Getting Science Wrong discusses some of the most popular misconceptions about science, and their continuing role in the public imagination. Drawing upon the history and philosophy of science it challenges wide-spread assumptions and misunderstandings, from creationism and climate change to the use of statistics and computer modeling. The result is an engaging introduction to contentious issues in the philosophy of science and a new way of looking at the role of science in society.

Radical Skepticism and the Shadow of Doubt A Philosophical Dialogue Eli Hirsch, Brandeis University, USA Using the imagined dialogue between three aging philosophy professors, Eli Hirsch simplifies the complex subject of radical skepticism by bringing to life the problem of whether or not we can ever have any knowledge of the world around us. Hirsch’s three characters make the decision to clear up matters concerning skepticism once and for all. They are differentiated not merely by their different views but also by their pointedly contrasting philosophical sensibilities. As they continue to discuss, debate and breakdown the problem, they introduce the reader to ideas and thinkers at the very heart of philosophy.

The Bloomsbury Companion to Bertrand Russell

The Selected Writings of Maurice O’Connor Drury

Edited by Russell Wahl, Idaho State University, USA

On Wittgenstein, Philosophy, Religion and Psychiatry

Bringing new insights into Russell’s relationship with his contemporaries, a team of experts explore his life-long battles with important philosophical issues. They consider how he influenced thinkers and schools of thought, from Schröder, Frege and Meinong to Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle, while also covering his impact on individual issues in epistemology, logic, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and political philosophy. Importantly this companion discusses often overlooked topics. Focusing on Russell’s later views, including his moral philosophy and his politics, reveals that Russell did make significant contributions to ethics - both theoretical and practical - in the course of his career.

Frank Cioffi: The Philosopher in Shirt-Sleeves David Ellis, University of Kent, UK & Nicholas Bunnin, University of Oxford, UK Frank Cioffi gained a considerable public reputation in Freudian and Wittgensteinian circles. This is an account of his conversation, capturing the sharp intelligence Cioffi was able to bring to bear on life's biggest problems.

Tackling subjects such as art, science, understanding others and depression, David Ellis vividly describes how a philosopher who was profoundly influenced by Wittgenstein dealt with life. Followed by a post-script in which Nicholas Bunnin situates him in a more strictly academic context, this is a mixture of personal portrait and academic introduction that provides an elegant and enjoyable tribute to Cioffi as both man and philosopher.

Starting with the digital's technical characteristics, captured by the binary code, this study asks how the digital domain of abstract logic encounters the human world. Focusing on formal code and the elements of creative production, it shows how encounters between the actual and the digital must cross an ontological divide: the gap between the productive materiality of the human world and the reductive abstraction of binary code.

Constructing a map of digital ontology, exploring the potentials of programming and using gaming as the ideal test of the ontology, it guides future practices and shapes academic research in digital technologies.

Metanoia A Speculative Ontology of Language, Thinking, and the Brain Armen Avanessian, Free University Berlin, Germany & Anke Hennig, Free University Berlin, Germany To see the world in a new light is to accept that our thinking has been irrevocably transformed. How is that possible? Is it merely an intellectual process without any impact on the world outside our brains?

To tackle these questions, this innovative book mobilizes discussions from linguistics, literary theory, analytic philosophy of language, and cognitive science. Metanoia— meaning literally a change of mind or a conversion—rearticulates linguistic consciousness by underlining the poetic, creative moment of language and sheds light on the ability of language to transform not only our thinking but the world around us as well.

Metaphysics An Introduction

Science and Religion in Wittgenstein's Fly-Bottle

Wittgenstein’s philosophy can help us to untie the knots in our understanding of the relationship between science and religion. The common perspectives—for or against religion—are based on the same question, 'Do religion and science fit together or not?' This book steps out of the polemical arguments to focus on the unique natures of science and religion—without discrediting or endorsing either perspective. As Wittgenstein would say, we need to show the fly out of the bottle. We need to trace the arguments backwards to the fly bottle’s exit. The knotted perspectives stuck in the fly bottle are, in particular, religious fundamentalism and scientific atheism. Surprisingly, integration can also be stuck in the fly bottle when it ignores differences and blurs similarities within the fly bottle.

Situating discussions in prominent debates in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and logic and providing a thorough understanding of some core issues in contemporary epistemology, the authors present the main arguments of this important and thriving debate.

Free Will and Epistemology A Defence of the Transcendental Argument for Freedom Robert Lockie, University of West London, UK In the first in-depth study of the transcendental argument for decades, Robert Lockie defends a modern version of the famous transcendental argument for free will: that we could not be justified in undermining a strong notion of free will, as a strong notion of free will is required for any such process of undermining to be itself epistemically justified. By arguing for a conception of internalism that goes back to the early days of the internalistexternalist debates, he draws on work by Richard Foley, William Alston and Alvin Plantinga to explain the importance of epistemic deontology and its role in the transcendental argument.

Presenting a wellorganized comprehensive discussion of parthood and related notions, Mereology: The Relation of Being Part contributes to a better understanding a subject at the centre of analytic metaphysics.

Series Editor: James R. Beebe, The University of Buffalo, USA Empirical and experimental philosophy is generating tremendous excitement, producing unexpected results that are challenging traditional philosophical methods. This series responds to this trend, bringing together some of the most influential voices in the field to understand the approach and measure its impact in contemporary philosophy. The result is a series that captures past and present developments and anticipates future research directions.

Experimental Metaphysics Edited by David Rose, Rutgers University, USA Metaphysics, almost entirely neglected by experimental philosophers, is the central focus of Advances in Experimental Metaphysics. Opening up the discussion for the first time, it systematically addresses the question of how cognitive science might be relevant to metaphysics.

With contributions from cognitive scientists and philosophers, chapters focus on theoretical issues involving the role of cognitive science in metaphysics. Alongside free will, objects and causation, they look at empirical developments on folk thinking about metaphysical issues, raising doubts about whether the indicated theories of composition are beholden to folk judgments in the first place and reviewing the evidence for purpose-based thinking.

Truth, Time and History: A Philosophical Inquiry Sophie Botros, University of London, UK Breaking impasses within the narrower analytic debates concerning the semantic anti-realists and the truth value link realists, this original study adopts a broader approach to understand the extent to which the past exists independently. It draws on the work of Dummet, Smart and Prior as well as historians such as Collingwood and Oakeshot and reveals underlying links between the realist/anti-realist debate. By combining insights from analytic and continental philosophy and history to show how the legitimacy of discourse about the past can be sustained, it presents a convincing argument for the unreality of the past, and its inherence in the present.

PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION

Evil: A Guide for the Perplexed Chad Meister, Bethel College, USA "A remarkably concise and accessible introduction to the 'problem of evil.' Meister summarises a quarter-century of academic debate and philosophical reflection in a book that can be read in an evening."

Graham Veale, Apologetics 315 Evil is ubiquitous. But why does it exist, why is it so pervasive, and how should we think about and respond to it? In a rigorous but lively way, Evil: A Guide for the Perplexed examines philosophical and theological problems, traditional and recent, raised by the existence of widespread evil. A thoughtful, engaging, even-handed guide to examining both classical and contemporary issues raised by the reality and ubiquity of evil.

Edited by Charles Taliaferro, St. Olaf College, USA & Elsa J. Marty, University of Chicago, USA "An up-to-date, concise dictionary that will ably serve both the novice and the scholar.

David J. Kangas In this interpretation of Kierkegaard's understudied religious discourses, Errant Affirmations not only opens up a new reading of Kierkegaard but elucidates his 'religious' texts and places them organically within his philosophy as a whole. Through close and clear readings, David Kangas argues that contemporary philosophical themes - gift, temporality, language, death, nothingness, economy and selfhood- are evident in these 'religious' works. The book argues that Kierkegaard’s “ontology,” fully emerges only in these discourses, which are organized around an “errant” kind of affirmation: an affirmation of existence that is without conditions, capable of affirming life even amidst its finitude and suffering.

Edited by Paul Copan, Palm Beach Atlantic University, USA & William Lane Craig, Houston Baptist University, USA

This anthology on the philosophical arguments for the finitude of the past asks: Is an infinite series of past events metaphysically possible?

Should actual infinites be restricted to theoretical mathematics, or can an actual infinite exist in the concrete world? These essays by kalam proponents and detractors engage in lively debate about the nature of infinity and its conundrums; about frequently-used kalam argument paradoxes of Tristram Shandy, the Grim Reaper, and Hilbert’s Hotel; and about the infinity of the future.

A Dictionary of Philosophy of Religion, Second Edition

The kalam cosmological argument—perhaps the most discussed philosophical argument for God’s existence in recent decades— maintains that whatever begins to exist must have a cause. And since the universe began to exist, there must be a transcendent cause of its beginning, a conclusion which is confirmatory of theism. So this medieval argument for the finitude of the past has received fresh wind in its sails from recent scientific discoveries.

This collection reviews and assesses the merits of the latest scientific evidences for the universe’s beginning. It ends with the kalam argument’s conclusion that the universe has a cause—a personal cause with properties of theological significance.

Series Editor: Miles Hollingworth, author of Saint Augustine of Hippo Reading Augustine presents a new line of books offering personal and close readings of St. Augustine of Hippo from leading philosophers and religious scholars. The aim of the series is to make clear Augustine’s importance to contemporary thought and to present Augustine not only or primarily as a pre-eminent Christian thinker but as a philosophical, spiritual, literary and intellectual icon of the West. Books in the series expose and take as their starting point the special malleability of Augustine’s thought and his unique place in the Western canon.

On Love, Confession, Surrender and the Moral Self

On Creativity, Liberty, Love and the Beauty of the Law

Ian Clausen, Villanova University, USA

Todd Breyfogle, Aspen Institute, USA

Ian Clausen's On Love, Confession, Surrender and the Moral Self describes Augustine’s central ideas on morality and how he arrived at them.

Describing an intellectual journey that will resonate especially with readers at the beginning of their own journey, Clausen shows that Augustine’s early writing career was an outworking of his own inner turmoil and discovery, and that both were to summit, triumphantly, on his monumental book Confessions (AD 386-401).

On Creativity, Liberty, Love and the Beauty of the Law introduces readers to Augustine’s understanding of law as an arena in which the possibilities of creative freedom are reconciled with the needs of natural and civil order. It places Augustine’s conception of law in the broader mosaic of his ideas about how human beings are bound together individually, socially, and spiritually. Seasoned readers of Augustine will see this fundamental element of his thought in a different light, even as those less familiar with Augustine are introduced to the thrill of following how he makes sense of the complexities of nature, history, and the human spirit.

On Education, Formation, Citizenship and the Lost Purpose of Learning

On Ethics, Politics and Psychology in the Twenty-First Century

Joseph Clair, George Fox University, USA

John M. Rist, Catholic University of America, USA

Starting from the beginning of book culture in late antiquity, Reading to Save Your Life: Augustinian Insights for Liberal Education explores how Augustine of Hippo shaped our understanding of the moral demands and spiritual possibilities of reading. As he traces how Augustine arrived at his innovative view of reading, Joseph Clair reveals the impact of Augustinian reading throughout the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and up to and beyond the birth of the modern university. A manifesto for mindful reading, Reading to Save Your Life serves as a clarion call for the recovery of Augustinian reading as the basis of liberal education.

John M. Rist takes the reader through Augustine’s ethics, the arguments he made and how he arrived at them, and shows how this moral philosophy remains vital for us today. He looks at thinkers who accept parts of Augustine's evaluation of the human condition but lapse into bleakness and pessimism since for them God has disappeared. In the concluding parts of the book, Rist suggests how a developed version of Augustine's original vision can be applied to the complexities of modern life while also laying out, on the other hand, what our moral universe would look like without Augustine’s contribution to it.

PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION

The Religious Philosophy of Roger Scruton

Idealism and Christian Philosophy

Edited by James Bryson, McGill, Canada

Edited by Steven B. Cowan, Louisiana College, USA & James S. Spiegel, Taylor University in Indiana, USA

Idealism and Christianity Volume 2

Although a religious sensibility ties together his astonishingly prodigious and dynamic output as a philosopher, poet and composer, Scruton’s recent exploration of religious and theological themes from a philosophical point of view has excited a fresh response from scholars. This collection of writings addresses Scruton’s challenging and subtle philosophy of religion for the first time.

Including contributions from specialists in the philosophy of religion, the history of thought and culture, aesthetics, and church history, this volume is a unique and fascinating collection of writings that sheds light on this hitherto unexplored aspect of Roger Scruton's philosophy.

Such thinkers as George Berkeley and Jonathan Edwards believed that Idealism is especially amenable to a Christian perspective, both because it provides a plausible way of conceptualizing the world from a theistic standpoint and because it effectively addresses skeptical challenges to the Christian faith. The contributors to this volume explore a variety of ways in which the case can be made for this claim, including potential solutions to philosophical problems related to the nature of time, the ontology of physical objects, the mindbody problem, and the nature of science.

Idealism and Christian Theology

The Political Dialogue of Nature and Grace

Idealism and Christianity Volume 1

Toward a Phenomenology of Chaste Anarchism

Edited by Joshua R. Farris, University of Bristol, UK, S. Mark Hamilton, University of Bristol, UK & James S. Spiegel, Taylor University in Indiana, USA In the recent history of philosophy few works have appeared which favorably portray Idealism as a plausible philosophical view of the world. Considerably less has been written about Idealism as a viable framework for doing theology.

Idealism and Christian Theology is an effort to re-introduce Idealism to contemporary Christian theology, and to retrieve ideas and arguments from its most significant modern exponents (especially George Berkeley and Jonathan Edwards) in order to assess its value for present and future theological construction. As a piece of constructive philosophical-theology itself, this volume considers the explanatory power an Idealist ontology has for contemporary Christian theology.

Caitlin Smith Gilson, University of Holy Cross, USA “This is a singular book whose author has an insightful philosophical voice and an engaging theological voice.

Caitlin Smith Gilson is intellectually passionate and existentially engaged with themes that spill over the normal academic divisions between theology, politics, philosophy and poetics. More than just a scholarly report on research done by others, it a serious first-order engagement with the matter itself. There is something poetic, rhapsodic, inspired even about this work. Caitlin Smith Gilson’s voice should be heard. Warmly recommended.”

Darren Hudson Hick, Texas Tech University, USA Introducing Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art raises questions about art, beauty and value that have occupied philosophers since antiquity.

By combining historical theories and arguments with examples from contemporary conceptual art, literature and TV soap operas, it presents the background and supplies all the tools required to answer questions about art today.

Now in its second edition, it includes a range of updated examples from public art, video games and graffiti, as well as a new chapter on feminism, disability issues and activism.

Deleuze and Art Anne Sauvagnargues, University of Paris, Nanterre, France Sauvagnargues provides an important glimpse into Deleuze's philosophy, reconstructing the social and intellectual contexts that contributed to the trajectory of his thought.

Sauvagnargues constructs a precise map of Deleuze's work, pinpointing where key Deleuzian concepts first emerge and eventually disappear. This methodology of "periodization", provides a systematic historiography that remains faithful to Deleuze’s affirmation of the principle of exteriority.

Now available in paperback this text gives the reader an inside look into the conceptual and artistic landscape that surrounded Deleuze and the creation of his philosophy.

A Theory of Minimalism

Aesthetic Marx

Marc Botha, Durham University, UK

Edited by Samir Gandesha, Simon Fraser University, Canada & Johan Hartle, University of Amsterdam

Marc Botha offers the first general theory of minimalism, establishing an aesthetic paradigm for rethinking realism in genuinely radical terms.

In dialogue with analytic and continental thinkers, Botha develops a constellation of concepts which encapsulate the transhistorcial and transdisciplinary reach of minimalism. From the caves of early Christian ascetics to Samuel Beckett’s late prose, Botha’s bold and provocative arguments equip readers with the tools to engage critically with past, present and future minimalism, and to recognize how, in a culture caught between the poles of excess and austerity, minimalism still matters.

Aesthetics of Ugliness A Critical Edition Karl Rosenkranz Translated into English and available in paperback for the first time, Aesthetics of Ugliness is an indispensable work in modern aesthetics and modernist art, literary studies and cultural theory, which fundamentally reworks conceptual understandings of what it means for a thing to be ugly.

Rosenkranz shows ugliness to be the negation of beauty without being reducible to evil, materiality, or other negative terms used its conventional condemnation. This insistence on the specificity of ugliness, and on its dynamic status as a process afflicting aesthetic canons, reflects Rosenkranz's interest in the metropolis and the struggle with modernization and idealist aesthetics.

PHILOSOPHY OF ART & AESTHETICS

Introducing Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art

‘The crisis of neoliberal capitalism has occasioned an urgent and widespread reassessment of Marx and his significance. Anyone seeking to take its pulse in the discourses of the aesthetic must read Aesthetic Marx.’

Stewart Martin, Editor of Radical Philosophy and Reader in Philosophy and Fine Art, Middlesex University, UK This study differs from previous discussions of Marxist aesthetic theory as it understands the works of Marx themselves as contributions to thinking the aesthetic. This takes into account Marx’s broader sense of the aesthetic as a question of sense perception and the body.

Against Transmission Media Philosophy and the Engineering of Time Timothy Barker A radical investigation of the technical architecture of media such as television, computers, cameras, and cinematography. Barker achieves this through in-depth archive research into the history of the development of media technology, combined with innovative readings of key concepts from philosophers of media.

Teaming philosophical inquiry with thorough technical and historical analysis, in a broad range of international case studies, from early experimental cinema and television to contemporary media art and innovative hardware developments, Barker shows how the technical discoveries made in these contexts have engineered the experiences of time in contemporary media culture.

Creation and the Function of Art

A Schizoanalysis

Techné, Poiesis and the Problem of Aesthetics

Chris L. Smith, University of Sydney, Australia ‘A brilliant book. In Bare Architecture Chris L. Smith describes architecture as a vehicle for departing from a spatial and temporal present; allowed to stray, to be set adrift, the body arrives at new formations by letting go of the here and now.

Expanded Painting Ontological Aesthetics and the Essence of Colour Mark Titmarsh, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia The relevance of painting has been questioned many times over the last century, by the arrival of photography, installation art and digital technologies. But rather than accept the death of painting, Mark Titmarsh traces a paradoxical interface between this art form and its opposing forces to define a new practice known as ‘expanded painting’ giving the term historical context, theoretical structure and an important place in contemporary practice. As the formal boundaries tumble, the being of painting expands to become a kind of total art incorporating all other media including sculpture, video and performance.

This book focuses on the relationship between techné and phusis (nature). Moving away from the theoretical Platonism which dominates contemporary understandings of art, Tuckwell instead reinvigorates Aristotelian causation. This book examines the deviations at play within logical forms, the subject, and upon phusis to better situate the role of the function in poiesis (art). In so doing, Tuckwell shows techné to be a property of the living of intelligence coupled to action that not only enacts poiesis or art, but indicates a broader role for creative deviation in nature.

It explores the nature and function of the aesthetic illusion as well as the role of affect and emotion, the implications of aesthetic illusion for the theory of fiction, the variable forms of aesthetic illusion and the relationship between it and other components of aesthetic response.

Making Sense

The Intelligence of Place

Art Practice and Transformative Therapeutics

Topographies and Poetics

Lorna Collins, University of Cambridge, UK Making Sense utilises art practice as a pro-active way of thinking that helps us to make sense of the world.

Drawing from poststructuralist philosophy, psychoanalysis, arts therapies, and the creative processes of a range of contemporary artists, the book appeals to the fields of art theory, the arts therapies, aesthetics and art practice, whilst it opens the regenerative affects of art-making to everyone.

The purpose of the book is to question and understand how and why art has this facility and power, and make the creative and healing properties of certain modes of expression widely accessible, practical and useful.

Jason Tuckwell

Edited by Jeff Malpas, University of Tasmania, Australia Place has become a widespread concept in contemporary work in the humanities. Yet there are relatively few works that focus directly on the concept of place; it remains a concept more often deployed than interrogated. This study fills this gap, drawing together many of the key thinkers currently writing on the topic in topics including anthropology, architecture, geography and philosophy.

Providing an exploration of place from various perspectives, it offers a unique point of entry into the contemporary thinking of place and new insights into a concept crucial to understanding our world and ourselves.

ASIAN PHILOSOPHY

Imagination in Chinese, Japanese and Western Philosophies

Comparative Studies in Asian and Latin American Philosophies

Edited by Hans-Georg Moeller, University College Cork, Ireland & Andrew Whitehead, Kennesaw State University, USA

Cross-cultural theories and methodologies

A rare intercultural inquiry into the conceptions and functions of the imagination in contemporary philosophy. Divided into East Asian, comparative, and post-comparative approaches, this collection brings together a leading team of philosophers to explore the concepts of the illusory and illusions, the development of fantastic narratives and metaphors, and the use of images and allegories across a range of traditions. Chapters discuss how imagination has been interpreted by thinkers such as Zhuangzi, Plato and Nietzsche, before a concluding section defines and addresses the notion of a post-comparative philosophy.

Comparative philosophy has long been associated with an EastWest dialogue. This collection changes the focus to Asian and Latin American traditions, addressing how their philosophers and theorists have interacted and enriched one another.

Examining Asian schools of thought through the eyes of various nineteenth- and twentieth-century Latin American thinkers, a team of international contributors discuss the way Asian philosophies, such as Buddhism and Confucianism, were seen as alternatives to Eurocentric models and valuable for local Latin American concerns.

Wai-ying Wong, Lingnan University, Hong Kong

Covering the characteristics and significance of the Confucian ethical tradition, this study introduces the main concepts, discusses differing perspectives of moral dilemmas and closely examines whether Confucian ethics should be considered as virtue ethics in the Western tradition.

The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Utilitarianism

Edited by Bertil Belfrage, Lund University, Sweden & Richard Brook, Bloomsburg University, USA

Edited by James E. Crimmins, The University of Western Ontario, Canada

Due to his theory of 'immaterialism' and Schopenhauer's regard of him as the 'father of idealism', George Berkeley (1685-1753) is one of the most important thinkers of the Early Modern period.

In twenty six original essays, a team of leading international scholars of Modern Philosophy cover all of Berkeley's writings including unpublished manuscripts and correspondence, thus providing readers with a complete and accessible source of information to the entire corpus of Berkeley's writings. The book includes extended essays on key themes in Berkeley's thought as well as sections covering Berkeley's life and times, and also his intellectual influence and legacy.

"An excellent encyclopedic reference book on the utilitarians and their broad philosophical context.

All the essays are well-referenced and also, more usefully, are followed by helpful suggestions for further reading . . . All academic libraries catering for courses in philosophy or in sociological or political theory can be warmly recommended to consider it for acquisition."

Kant’s Transition Project and Late Philosophy Connecting the Opus postumum and Metaphysics of Morals Oliver Thorndike, Loyola University, USA Kant’s Transition Project and Late Philosophy is the first study to provide a close reading of the connection between texts written by Kant during 1796 and 1798.

Connecting Kant’s unfinished book project, the Opus postumum, with Metaphysics of Morals, it identifies and clarifies issues at the forefront of Kant’s focus towards the end of his life. By showing that there is not only a Transition Project in Kant’s theoretical philosophy but also a Transition Project in his practical philosophy, it reveals why an accurate assessment of Kant’s critical philosophy requires a new understanding of the Opus postumum and Kant’s parallel late writings on practical philosophy.

Four-Volume Set Edited by Stephen Hetherington, University of New South Wales, Australia The first in-depth survey of the history of knowledge in Western philosophy.

The Philosophy of Knowledge: A History presents the history of one of Western philosophy’s greatest challenges: understanding the nature of knowledge. Divided chronologically into four volumes, it follows conceptions of knowledge that have been proposed, defended, replaced, and proposed anew by ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary philosophers. Each volume centres around three key questions: what conceptions of knowledge have been offered? Which have shaped epistemology in particular and philosophy in general? How is knowledge conceived by philosophers now? Overseen by an international team of leading philosophers and featuring 50 speciallycommissioned chapters, this is a major collection on one of philosophy’s defining topics.
