Utopia
by GU SHOUGUAN
It is not only a manifesto of the author's political thought, but also an outline of governance for politicians. Plato firmly believed that a philosopher could be a statesman and could indeed govern the world. The book deals with all aspects of justice, the state, property, philosophers, truth, understanding, and ideas, and has been recommended reading in Western intellectual circles for more than two thousand years. This book is a proof-texted edition, which strives to make it more accurate on the basis of Mr. Gu Shouguan's rigorous translation, and to provide a credible reference for the study of Plato in the Chinese-speaking world.

April 2021On the Purposes of Life and Whether They Exist
A philosophical fitting
by Axel Braig
The musician, doctor and philosopher Axel Braig considers philosophy a little like the weather: he looks for the right clothes for every situation. Braig is primarily concerned with practical, effective things from the two-and-a-half millennia fund of (Western) thinking, such as helpful approaches in existential crises. In this book, he introduces us to philosophical thinkers from Plato to Montaigne to Levinas and Feyerabend. Braig not only shares his own philosophical biography, but above all encourages us to philosophise ourselves.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2015Margaret Cavendish
by Emma Rees
Margaret Cavendish was one of the most prolific, complex and misunderstood writers of the seventeenth century. A contemporary of Descartes and Hobbes, she was fascinated by philosophical, scientific and imaginative advances, and struggled to overcome the political and cultural obstacles which threatened to stop her engagement with such discourses. Emma Rees examines how Cavendish engaged with the work of thinkers such as Lucretius, Plato, Homer and Harvey in an attempt to write her way out of the exile which threatened not only her intellectual pursuits but her very existence. What emerges is the image of an intelligent, audacious and intrepid early modern woman whose tale will appeal to specialists and general readers alike. ;

March 1983Grammatologie
by Jacques Derrida, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, Hanns Zischler
Unter dem Titel Grammatologie erarbeitet Jacques Derrida eine Theorie der Schrift, des Zeichens, des Bezeichnens, die eine Reihe tradierter Vorstellungen und Begriffe in Frage stellt, u.a.: Vernunft, Ursprung, Subjekt, Geschichte (die immer nur eine Geschichte der »Vernunft« gewesen sei). Im ersten Teil des Buches - »Die Schrift vor dem Buchstaben« - entwirft Derrida eine theoretische Grundlage, die er im zweiten Teil - »Natur, Kultur, Schrift« - an einem Schlüsseltext des europäischen Logozentrismus überprüft, an Rousseaus Essai sur l'origine des langues, dessen (von Lévi-Strauss her unternommene) Lektüre zu einer Lektüre der Epoche Rousseaus wird.Derrida verfolgt von Plato über Rousseau, Hegel, Husserl, Saussure bis zu Lévi-Strauss das Funktionieren und die Problematik (die historischen Kosten) der logozentrischen Begrifflichkeit des abendländischen Denkens.

June 1986Entstehung und Folgen der Schriftkultur
by Jack Goody, Ian Watt, Kathleen Gough, Friedhelm Herborth, Heinz Schlaffer
Der Übergang von der Mündlichkeit zur Schriftlichkeit und die Ablösung verschiedener Schriftsysteme bis zu ihrer Perfektion in der alphabetischen Schrift der Griechen bedeutet mehr als einen technologischen Wandel der Kommunikationsmedien. Die Abstraktionsleistung, die zur Erfindung der Schrift, besonders der phonetischen, nötig ist, hat bestimmte soziale Voraussetzungen. Umgekehrt beschleunigt der tägliche Gebrauch der Schrift soziale Veränderungen, da der Kopf von der Mühe des Gedächtnisses befreit und für konzeptuelles Denken frei wird. Von den kulturellen Einbußen und Gewinnen, die die Vollendung der Schriftlichkeit mit sich bringt, ist die europäische Zivilisation geprägt: den Verlust an Unmittelbarkeit bei der Ablösung der mündlichen Rede durch die schriftliche Aufzeichnung hat bereits Plato beklagt; das Bewahren und damit Veralten der fixierten Texte läßt jedoch zugleich ein kritisches Bewußtsein entstehen und bezeichnet den Beginn der geschichtlichen Erfahrung, die das Vergangene vom Gegenwärtigen zu scheiden weiß.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2009The subject of love
Hélène Cixous and the feminine divine
by Sal Renshaw
The Subject of Love: Hélène Cixous and the Feminine Divine is about abundant, generous, other-regarding love. In the history of Western ideas of love, such a configuration has been inseparable from our ideas about divinity and the sacred; often reserved only for God; and rarely thought of as a human achievement. This book is a substantial engagement with her philosophies of love, inviting the reader to reflect on the conditions of subjectivity that just might open us to something like a divine love of the other. Renshaw follows this thread in this genealogy of abundant love: the thread that connects the subject of love from 5th century B.C.E. Greece and Plato, to the 20th century protestant theology of agapic love of Anders Nygren, to the late 20th century poetico-philosophy of Hélène Cixous. This study will be of particular interest to academics and students of the history of gender, cultural studies, criticism and gender studies ;

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2009Henry Neville and English Republican culture in the seventeenth century
Dreaming of another game
by Gaby Mahlberg, Peter Lake, Anthony Milton, Jason Peacey, Alexandra Gajda
Henry Neville and English Republican Culture in the Seventeenth Century is the first full-length study of the republican Henry Neville as country gentleman, politician, political thinker, rebel and libeller. It traces the development of Neville's political thought from the English Civil Wars to the Exclusion Crisis and beyond, while also challenging the way in which the history of ideas has been conceptualised in recent years by discussing political theory alongside cheap libels, shams and poetry. While studies of early modern English republicanism tend to focus on the Interregnum, Neville's Plato redivivus, which promoted a restructuring of the political order, was only published after the 1660 Restoration of the monarchy. This study therefore draws attention to long-term continuities in English republican thought and introduces the concept of anti-patriarchalism to focus on what Neville and other republicans writing before 1649 or after 1660 had in common. This book will be of interest to students and academics of Early Modern studies ;

Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2007Enthusiast
Essays on modern American literature
by David Herd
Enthusiast! is a polemical history of American literature told from the point of view of six of its major enthusiasts. Complaining that his age was 'retrospective', Emerson injected enthusiasm into American literature as a way of making it new. 'What,' he asked, 'is a man good for without enthusiasm? and what is enthusiasm but the daring of ruin for its object?' This book takes enthusiasm to be a defining feature of American literature, showing how successive major writers - Melville, Thoreau, Pound, Moore, Frank O'Hara and James Schuyler - have modernized and re-modeled Emerson's founding sense of enthusiasm. The book presents the writer as enthusiast, showing how enthusiasm is fundamental to the composition and the circulation of literature. Enthusiasm, it is argued, is the way literary value is passed on. Starting with a brief history of enthusiasm from Plato to Kant and Emerson, the book features chapters on each of Melville, Thoreau, Pound, Moore, O'Hara, and Schuyler. Each chapter presents an aspect of the writer as enthusiast, the book as a whole charting the changing sense of literary enthusiasm from Romanticism to the present day. Lucidly written and combatively argued, the book will appeal to readers of American Literature or Modern Poetry, and to all those interested in the circulation of literary work. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2009Men in political theory
by Terrell Carver
Men in political theory builds on feminist re-readings of the traditional canon of male writers in Political Philosophy by turning the 'gender lens' on to the representation of men in widely studies texts. It explains the distinction between 'man' as an apparently de-gendered 'individual' or 'citizen', and 'man' as an overtly gendered being in human society. Both these representations of 'man' are crucial to a clearer understanding of the operation of gender. Newly available in paperback, the book is the first to use the 'men's studies' and 'masculinities' literatures in re-thinking the political problems that students and specialists in the social sciences and humanities must encounter: consent, obligation, patriarchy, gender, sexuality, life-cycle, and discriminatory disadvantage related to sex, age, class, race/ethnicity and disability. It does this by re-examining the historical materials from which present-day concepts of citizenship, individuality, identity, subjectivity, normativity and legitimacy arise. The ten chapters on Plato, Aristotle, Jesus, Augustine, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx and Engels show the operation of the 'gender lens' in different ways, depending on how the philosopher deploys concepts of men and masculinity to pose and solve classic problems. They can all be read independently and are as suitable for those just making the acquaintance of these classic writers as for those with specialist knowledge and interests. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2024How to be multiple
The philosophy of twins
by Helena de Bres, Julia de Bres
In How to be multiple, Helena de Bres - a twin herself - argues that twinhood is a unique lens for examining our place in the world and how we relate to other people. The way we think about twins offers remarkable insights into some of the deepest questions of our existence, from what is a person? to how should we treat one another? Deftly weaving together literary and cultural history, philosophical enquiry and personal experience, de Bres examines such thorny issues as binary thinking, objectification, romantic love and friendship, revealing the limits of our individualistic perspectives. In this illuminating, entertaining book, wittily illustrated by her twin sister, de Bres ultimately suggests that to consider twinhood is to imagine the possibility of a more interconnected, capacious human future.

November 2021The Forest of the Future – A New Reality
Understanding the ecosystem
by Hans Jürgen Böhmer
What happened with forest dieback? The predictions of the 1980s that forests would be in decline across Europe have not come true. Currently, attention again focuses on the doom scenarios of the loss of entire forests and cultural landscapes in an emotional and sometimes hysterical debate. Biogeographer Hans Jürgen Böhmer refers to updated case studies and his 30 years of research experience on global ecosystems to demonstrate extremely complex interrelations of the natural world that various actors monitor in contrasting ways and characterized by different times and ideologies. Böhmer advocates to embed the sustainability debate more strongly in the living environment, rather than relying exclusively on model calculations.
