Abstract

De idealisten vertelt het verhaal van dokter Benjamin Marcus en zijn jonge, gehandicapte patiënt Ndidi op een afgelegen missiepost, tegen de achtergrond van een overweldigende natuur, een mythische rivier en dreigende droogte.Dr. Marcus, zelf kind van joodse vluchtelingen, ooit uit idealisme naar Afrika vertrokken, is in de loop der jaren steeds meer gaan twijfelen over het nut van zijn wetenschappelijke aanpak. Ndidi, gevangen tussen bijgeloof en nieuwsgierigheid, zint op een manier om te ontsnappen aan zijn lot.In het tijdbestek van slechts een dag en een nacht worden hun levens, en die van de andere dorpelingen, echter volkomen overhoopgegooid. Wordt het wankele menselijke evenwicht in één klap weggevaagd?Louise O. Fresco bewees met De kosmopolieten en De utopisten al dat zij als geen ander in ons taalgebied in staat is de menselijke behoefte aan engagement en verantwoordelijkheid literair te verwoorden. Ook in De idealisten staan menselijke idealen en de daarmee gepaard gaande verwarring centraal.De idealisten is een onvergetelijk verhaal over geloof en ratio, bijgeloof en wetenschap, maar bovenal over de kracht van menselijke idealen en de betekenis van hoop.Bron : http://www.bol.com

Abstract

This book outlines and circumvents two serious problems that appear to attach to Kant’s moral philosophy, or more precisely to the model of rational agency that underlies that moral philosophy: the problem of experiential incongruence and the problem of misdirected moral attention. The book’s central contention is that both these problems can be sidestepped. In order to demonstrate this, it argues for an entirely novel reading of Kant’s views on action and moral motivation. In addressing the two main problems in Kant’s moral philosophy, the book explains how the first problem arises because the central elements of Kant’s theory of action seem not to square with our lived experience of agency, and moral agency in particular. For example, the idea that moral deliberation invariably takes the form of testing personal policies against the Categorical Imperative seems at odds with the phenomenology of such reasoning, as does the claim that all our actions proceed from explicitly adopted general policies, or maxims. It then goes on to discuss the second problem showing how it is a result of Kant’s apparent claim that when an agent acts from duty, her reason for doing so is that her maxim is lawlike. This seems to put the moral agent’s attention in the wrong place: on the nature of her own maxims, rather than on the world of other people and morally salient situations. The book shows how its proposed novel reading of Kant’s views ultimately paints an unfamiliar but appealing picture of the Kantian good-willed agent as much more embedded in and engaged with the world than has traditionally been supposed.

Abstract

This book presents a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the relationship between the thought of G.W.F. Hegel and that of John McDowell, the latter of whom is widely considered to be one of the most influential living analytic philosophers. It serves as a point of entry in McDowell’s and Hegel’s philosophy, and a substantial contribution to ongoing debates on perceptual experience and perceptual justification, naturalism, human freedom and action. The chapters gathered in this volume, as well as McDowell’s responses, make it clear that McDowell’s work paves the way for an original reading of Hegel’s texts. His conceptual framework allows for new interpretive possibilities in Hegel’s philosophy which, until now, have remained largely unexplored. Moreover, these interpretations shed light on various aspects of continuity and discontinuity between the philosophies of these two authors, thus defining more clearly their positions on specific issues. In addition, they allow us to see Hegel’s thought as containing a number of conceptual tools that might be useful for advancing McDowell’s own philosophy and contemporary philosophy in general.

Abstract

This volume sheds new light on Immanuel Kant’s conception of anthropology. Neither a careful and widespread search of the sources nor a merely theoretical speculation about Kant’s critical path can fully reveal the necessarily wider horizon of his anthropology. This only comes to light by overcoming all traditional schemes within Kantian studies, and consequently reconsidering the traditional divisions within Kant’s thought. The goal of this book is to highlight an alternative, yet complementary path followed by Kantian anthropology with regard to transcendental philosophy. The present volume intends to develop this path in order to demonstrate how irreducible it is in what concerns some crucial claims of Kant’s philosophy, such as the critical defense of the unity of reason, the search for a new method in metaphysics and the moral outcome of Kant’s thought.

Abstract

The Absolute, philosophized most saliently about by Georg Hegel, encompasses the entirety of reality. The absolute (reality) is composed of five dimensions – height, length, width, time, and justice. The five dimensions operate dialectically, and the normative values of reality inhere within the fifth dimension (justice) – hard, soft, moral, ethical, yellow, etc. ad infinitum. The normative values from the fifth dimension (justice), in combination with the brain, comprise the human mind. With the issues of climate change, world-wide biosphere destruction, nuclear weapons, international trade regimes, humanity has created the phenomenon of global politics – thereby changing the fifth dimension. The argument in this volume is that the broadcast iterations of Star Trek allow us to comprehend significant aspects of justice and the politics of globalism – created through the advent of science, technology, engineering, etc. The creators of Star Trek hold that nationalism is a psychological pathology and internationalism is rationality.

Abstract

Questo libro chiude una trilogia i cui momenti precedenti sono dati da Un parricidio mancato (2004), dedicato a un’analisi critica eterodossa del rapporto del giovane Marx con i suoi numi tutelari Hegel e Feuerbach, e Un parricidio compiuto (2014), che trattava della relazione ormai risolta del Marx maturo con Hegel. Nei capitoli-saggi che compongono il nuovo volume, l’autore, ampliando il discorso attraverso una lettura attenta di Freud, una ripresa di Spinoza, e con un confronto con la stessa tradizione postidealistica e antiheideggeriana del pensiero italiano (è una perla il capitolo su un maestro dimenticato come Guido Calogero), mette capo a un’originale proposta teorica: quella di un’antropologia filosofica dell’emancipazione basata su una visione bio-psicoanalitica della relazione corpo-mente nell’essere umano. Il fine è di concorrere così alla costruzione di una nuova etica sociale materialistica, al di là del vecchio materialismo storico, capace di sfidare le seduzioni più allettanti dell’individualismo atomizzante del consumo e del mercato. Una prospettiva che interviene direttamente nell’odierna crisi generale della sinistra, mostrando come questa sia anzitutto di ordine teorico e poi anche politico.

Abstract

This book examines the various ways in which the German philosopher Friedrich Schelling was read and responded to by British readers and writers during the nineteenth century. Challenging the idea that Schelling’s reception was limited to the Romantics, this book shows the ways in which his thought continued to be engaged with across the whole period. It follows Schelling’s reception both chronologically and conceptually as it developed in a number of different disciplines in British aesthetics, literature, philosophy, science and theology. What emerges is a vibrant new history of the period, showing the important role played by reading and responding to Schelling, either directly or more diffusely, and taking in a vast array of major thinkers during the period. This book, which will be of interest not only to historians of philosophy and the history of ideas, but to all those dealing with Anglo-German reception during the nineteenth century, reveals Schelling to be a kind of uncanny presence underwriting British thought.

Abstract

Hegel's philosophy has been of fundamental importance for the development of contemporary thought and for the very representation of Western modernity. This book investigates Hegel’s influence in the Arab world, generally considered "other" and far from the West, focusing specifically on Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. Lorella Ventura discusses the reception of Hegelian thought and outlines a conceptual grid to help interpret the historical, cultural, and political events that have affected the Arab region in the last two centuries, and shed light on some aspects of its complex relationship with the western world.
