Philosophy of Psychology

Lisa Bortolotti

Philosophy of Psychology

Are we rational creatures? Do we have free will? Can we ever know ourselves? These and other fundamental questions have been discussed by philosophers over millennia. But recent empirical findings in psychology and neuroscience suggest we should reconsider them. This textbook provides an engrossing overview of contemporary debates in the philosophy of psychology, exploring the ways in which the interaction and collaboration between psychologists and philosophers contribute to a better...

Beter, Mönche und Gelehrte

Biografien haben Konjunktur. Das «Leben der anderen», ihr Erfolg und ihr Scheitern, spornen an, das eigene Leben zu bedenken und einer kritischen Reflexion zu unterziehen. Schon seit früher Zeit erzählen sich die Christen vom Leben der Heiligen und Märtyrer. Das Buch, das Lebensbilder aus der Rubrik «Engagiertes Christsein» in der Zeitschrift «MAGNIFICAT. Das Stundenbuch» bündelt, knüpft an diese Tradition an und stellt in verschiedenen Kategorien wichtige Persönlichkeiten sowie Gruppen und Orte...

Shibboleth

Marc Redfield

Shibboleth

Working from the Bible to contemporary art, Shibboleth surveys the linguistic performances behind the politics of border crossings and the policing of identities. In the Book of Judges, the Gileadites use the word shibboleth to target and kill members of a closely related tribe, the Ephraimites, who cannot pronounce the initial shin phoneme. In modern European languages, shibboleth has come to mean a hard-to-falsify sign that winnows identities and establishes and confirms borders. It...

World Literature for the Wretched of the Earth

World Literature for the Wretched of the Earth recovers a genealogy of anticolonial thought that advocated collective inexpertise, unknowing, and unrecognizability. Early-twentieth-century anticolonial thinkers endeavored to imagine a world emancipated from colonial rule, but it was a world they knew they would likely not live to see. Written in exile, in abjection, or in the face of death, anticolonial thought could not afford to base its politics on the hope of eventual success, mastery, or...

Rationalist Empiricism

Nathan Brown

Rationalist Empiricism

Twenty-first-century philosophy has been drawn into a false opposition between speculation and critique. Nathan Brown shows that the key to overcoming this antinomy is a re-engagement with the relation between rationalism and empiricism. If Kant’s transcendental philosophy attempted to displace the opposing priorities of those orientations, any speculative critique of Kant will have to re-open and consider anew the conflict and complementarity of reason and experience. Rationalist Empiricism ...

Scatter 2

Geoffrey Bennington

Scatter 2

This book deconstructs the whole lineage of political philosophy, showing the ways democracy abuts and regularly undermines the sovereignist tradition across a range of texts from the Iliad to contemporary philosophy. Politics is an object of perennial difficulty for philosophy—as recalcitrant to philosophical mastery as is philosophy’s traditional adversary, poetry. That difficulty makes it an attractive topic for any deconstructive approach to the tradition from which we inherit our language...

Couch City

Harry Berger

Couch City

Crowning six decades of literary, rhetorical, and historical scholarship, Harry Berger, Jr., offers readers another trenchant reading. Berger subverts the usual interpretations of Plato’s kalos kagathos , showing Socrates to be trapped in a double ventriloquism, tethered to his interlocutors’ speech acts even as they are tethered to his. Plato’s Republic and Protagoras both reserve a small but significant place for a poet who differs from Homer and Hesiod: the lyric poet Simonides of Ceos....

Nothing Absolute

Featuring scholars at the forefront of contemporary political theology and the study of German Idealism, Nothing Absolute explores the intersection of these two flourishing fields. Against traditional approaches that view German Idealism as a secularizing movement, this volume revisits it as the first fundamentally philosophical articulation of the political-theological problematic in the aftermath of the Enlightenment and the advent of secularity. Nothing Absolute reclaims German Idealism as...

Medieval Nonsense

Jordan Kirk

Medieval Nonsense

Five hundred years before “Jabberwocky” and Tender Buttons , writers were already preoccupied with the question of nonsense. But even as the prevalence in medieval texts of gibberish, babble, birdsong, and allusions to bare voice has come into view in recent years, an impression persists that these phenomena are exceptions that prove the rule of the period’s theologically motivated commitment to the kernel of meaning over and against the shell of the mere letter.This book shows that, to the...

Radical Hospitality

Richard Kearney

Radical Hospitality

Radical Hospitality addresses a timely and challenging subject for contemporary philosophy: the ethical responsibility of opening borders, psychic and physical, to the stranger. Kearney and Fitzpatrick show how radical hospitality happens by opening oneself in narrative exchange to someone or something other than ourselves—by crossing borders, whether literal or figurative. Against the fears, dogmas, and demands for certainty and security that push us toward hostility, we also desire to wager...

Natur, videnskab og metafysik

Carl Henrik Koch

Natur, videnskab og metafysik

Isaac Newton var som fysiker og matematiker en af de storste videnskabsmAend, verden har oplevet. Historien om naturforskeren Newton er blevet fortalt mange gange og er kendt af enhver, som blot har stiftet selv det mindste bekendtskab med fysikken og dens udvikling. Men der er ogsa en anden og mindre kendt historie om Newton, nemlig beretningen om metafysikeren, historikeren, religionsforskeren og alkymisten Newton. Det er den historie, der fortAelles i Natur, videnskab og metafysik, der ogsa...

RenAessancen og humanismens rodder

I RenAessancen og humanismens rodder tegner idehistorikeren Rune Engelbreth Larsen et signalement af den kalejdoskopiske vifte af tanker og ideer, der kommer til udtryk i renAessancen. Her modes, brydes og forenes en rAekke traditionelle modsAetningspar som hedenskab og kristendom, alkymi og videnskab, frihed og slaveri, kAetteri og kirke – menneske og Gud.

Religionens fremtid

Richard Rorty

Religionens fremtid

I dag opfatter mange mennesker sig som religiose, uden at de dermed nodvendigvis tilslutter sig den kristendom, der i Vesten igennem to artusinder har vAeret den dominerende religion. Bogen rejser ikke mindst sporgsmalet om, hvorvidt oplysningen, sekulariseringen og demokratiseringen, der satte ind for et par arhundreder siden, virkelig har distanceret os fra arven fra den kristne religion, eller om sekulariseringen snarere ma ses som en konsekvens af kristendommen selv.Hvis man onsker et...

Som dig selv

Som dig selv giver en bred indforing i den etiske tAenkning. Den forfAegter ikke et bestemt synspunkt, men prAesenterer hovedretninger inden for bade teologisk og filosofisk etik. Den giver dermed indsigt i baggrunden for etikdiskussionen i et sekulariseret samfund med kristne forudsAetninger. Bogen folger etikkens udvikling fra den bibelske tankeverden og frem til nutidig protestantisk og katolsk teologi, med omtale af bl.a. Augustin, Thomas Aquinas, Luther, Kierkegaard og Logstrup. Tilsvarende...

GenEthics and Religion

Human gene and cell technology is a diverse and rapidly evolving field of research. As genes represent the 'blueprint' of an organism, their analysis and manipulation is a challenge to our understanding of human nature. Stem cell research, genetic testing, gene therapy, therapeutic and reproductive cloning – all these fields of application have been raising fundamental ethical and religious-theological questions: When does human life begin? Should human beings be allowed to interfere...

Fornuftens perversion

Fornuftens perversion

Er det sandt, at oplysning forer lige fra den franske revolution til nutidens demokrati? Ikke, hvis man sporger modoplysningen, som denne bog beskriver: Oplysningsfilosofien perverterer det, der gor livet stabilt og sandt, den forvandler mennesket til noget monstrost, friheden til trAeldom og terror – og fornuften til ufornuft.Modoplysningen er bade en radikal form for oplysningskritik og navnet pa en historisk periode, der strAekker sig over artierne for, under og efter den franske revolution....

Nihilisme og emancipation

Gianni Vattimo

Nihilisme og emancipation

I Nihilisme og emancipation forsoger Gianni Vattimo at gentAenke begreberne politik, etik og ret i den moderne verden, hvor uforanderlige principper er utAenkelige. Nietzsche og Heidegger har efterladt sig et metafysisk tomrum, hvor Gud er dod, og de absolutte ideologier er utrovAerdige. Udfordringen for nutidens filosoffer bliver derfor at opspore en teori omkring det moderne, som bygger pa hermeneutikkens uendelige fortolkningsmuligheder.Lov, ret og etik ma konstrueres igennem forhandlinger,...

Kvantefilosofi

Hvad fortAeller videnskabelige teorier os om verden ud over, hvad vi kan observere? Dette filosofiske sporgsmal er sAerdeles patrAengende i lyset af kvantemekanikken. Og dets besvarelse er grundlaget for kvantefilosofien.Kvantemekanikken er fysikernes teori om atomerne og deres mindste dele. Ingen fysisk teori har vist sig mere succesrig i sine forudsigelser end den. Men siden Werner Heisenberg formulerede teorien i 1925, har der blandt fysikere og filosoffer hersket uenighed om, hvordan den...

Formel logik

Formel logik er en grundlAeggende, lettilgAengelig indforing i klassisk doms- og prAedikatslogik beregnet til undervisning pa universitetsniveau. Den fokuserer pa de semantiske metoder – sandhedstabeller og semantiske trAeer – frem for bevisteori. Derved giver den et klart og let tilgAengeligt overblik over logiske noglebegreber som gyldighed, formalisering, fortolkning, model og modeksempel. Dens kontante og prAecise form savel som de mange pAedagogiske eksempler og ovelser har gjort den til en...

Verdensbilleder

Vi befinder os altid her og nu, et eller andet sted i rum og tid. Men hvad er rum og tid egentlig? Verdensbilleder fortAeller historien om, hvordan vores opfattelse af rum og tid har Aendret sig i takt med fysikkens og den tekniske udviklings fremskridt. De gamle grAekere troede, at Jorden stod stille i midten af kosmos. Totusinde ar senere fremsatte Kopernikus den tanke, at Jorden i virkeligheden bevAeger sig rundt om Solen. Kikkertens udvikling bekrAeftede Kopernikus' ide, men afslorede...

Den subjektive rest

Subjektet er dodt – og subjektet lAenge leve! Denne bog sAetter kunstnersubjektet tilbage pa scenen, efter at det i efterkrigstidens kunst og teori har vAeret trAengt ud i morket til fordel for en bekrAeftelse og besyngelse af de afpersonaliserede, neutrale aspekter i savel litteraturen som billedkunsten. I stedet argumenterer forfatteren for, at der i den kunstneriske udsigelse altid findes en instans, som evner at erfare neutraliteten, afpersonaliseringen og desubjektiveringen. En instans, som...

Love

Anne Marie Pahuus

Love

Love is all around. A romantic cliche? No, a fact of human life. Just ask Anne Marie Pahuus, a Danish philosopher at Aarhus University. Love is essentially the closest, most intense relationships we have, for instance with our partners and children. Its wide range of emotions runs from erotic passion to friendship, from delight to torment. Love can conquer all, and it can bring life-long sorrow. Down through the ages – in a variety of guises – love has been the favourite theme of thinkers and...
