Staging the People

Jacques Ranciere

Staging the People

Rancière's classic essays from the 1970s, as he was developing his distinctive method. These essays from the 1970s mark the inception of the distinctive project that Jacques Rancière has pursued across forty years, with four interwoven themes: the study of working-class identity, of its philosophical interpretation, of «heretical» knowledge and of the relationship between work and leisure. For the short-lived journal Les Révoltes Logiques , Rancière wrote on subjects ranging across a...

The Music of Reason

Michael Marks Davis

The Music of Reason

In recent years, the field of cognitive psychology has begun to explore the rootedness of rational thinking in subrational inspiration, insight, or instinct—a kind of prediscursive hunch that leaps ahead and guides rational thought before the reasoning human being is even aware of it. In The Music of Reason , Michael Davis shows that this «musical» quality of thinking is something that leading philosophers have long been aware of and explored with great depth and subtlety. Focusing on...

Beyond Objectivism and Relativism

Richard J. Bernstein

Beyond Objectivism and Relativism

Drawing freely and expertly from Continental and analytic traditions, Richard Bernstein examines a number of debates and controversies exemplified in the works of Gadamer, Habermas, Rorty, and Arendt. He argues that a «new conversation» is emerging about human rationality—a new understanding that emphasizes its practical character and has important ramifications both for thought and action.

Zen and Zen Classics 1

R. Blyth

Zen and Zen Classics 1

This is not a dry scholarly book on Zen. It is a fascinating introduction into a study of self-enlightenment and inner reason that has been a driving force of all Japanese culture. Written by Reginal Horace Blyth (1898-1964) this is a volume free of the dry pedantry that has hobbled so many well meaning French and English studies of Zen. It is free also of the breathless mystery-mongering that unfortunately has bloated American Zen.Blyth reads easily. The questions he poses; the views he...

These critics of vision, especially prominent in twentieth-century France, have challenged its allegedly superior capacity to provide access to the world. They have also criticized its supposed complicity with political and social oppression through the promulgation of spectacle and surveillance. Martin...

Beyond Reason

Karol Berger

Beyond Reason

Thing Knowledge

Davis Baird

Thing Knowledge

Western philosophers have traditionally concentrated on theory as the means for expressing knowledge about a variety of phenomena. This absorbing book challenges this fundamental notion by showing how objects themselves, specifically scientific instruments, can express knowledge. As he considers numerous intriguing examples, Davis Baird gives us the tools to «read» the material products of science and technology and to understand their place in culture. Making a provocative and original...

Interpreting Music

Lawrence Kramer

Interpreting Music

Interpreting Music is a comprehensive essay on understanding musical meaning and performing music meaningfully—"interpreting music" in both senses of the term. Synthesizing and advancing two decades of highly influential work, Lawrence Kramer fundamentally rethinks the concepts of work, score, performance, performativity, interpretation, and meaning—even the very concept of music—while breaking down conventional wisdom and received ideas. Kramer argues that music, far from being closed to...

A Politics of the Ordinary

Thomas L. Dumm

A Politics of the Ordinary

In A Politics of the Ordinary , Thomas Dumm dramatizes how everyday life in the United States intersects with and is influenced by the power of events, on the one hand, and forces of conformity and normalcy on the other. Combining poststructuralist analysis with a sympathetic reading of a strain of American thought that begins with Emerson and culminates in the work of Stanley Cavell, A Politics of the Ordinary investigates incidents from everyday life, political spectacles, and popular...

Toward Wholeness

For Rudolf Steiner, life can be truly understood only if it is experienced as art is experienced, as inner activities expressed through physical materials. On this ground of the union of inner experience and sensory life, he developed his unique, holistic approach to education. Richards views Steiner schools as expressing a new educational consciousness appropriate for our time, a «grammar of interconnections» among scientific observational, artistic imagination, religious...

This involves getting clear about what Wittgenstein was doing in his philosophical work as well as about the nature of the social sciences. Vinten argues that the social sciences can be considered scientific despite the fact that social sciences have different...

Creative Synergy

Bunny Paine-Clemes

Creative Synergy

When we act in cooperation with “the Force”—using our whole being to integrate and cooperate with “what is trying to happen” already—then every aspect of our lives is transformed. In the act of cooperating with the Universe, we can aid our own self-actualization as well as the continuing evolution of life and culture on this planet. We become whole as we make others and the culture more whole. We can then embrace our life’s mission and the part we play in the universe.

Leaving Psychiatry

J. R. Ó’Braonáin. M.D.

Leaving Psychiatry

So you go to a psychiatrist. You may think psychiatry is science, medicine art, indeed all three. You may believe, as they do, that the psychiatrist has some privileged knowledge about the mind, who you are and what ails you. You may think that their invocations to genetics and neurochemistry are based upon facts, and their diagnoses are according to the truth of the world, the truth «out there» as much as in you. You may be tempted to believe that the psychiatrist is as indispensable to the...
