Abstract

"Our world culture is founded on the belief that consciousness is derived from matter, giving rise to the materialistic assumption that informs almost every aspect of our lives as is the root cause of the suffering within individuals, the conflicts between communities and nations, and the degradation of our environment. The Nature of Consciousness exposes the fallacy of this belief and suggests that the recognition of the presence, the primacy and the nature of consciousness is the prerequisite for any new paradigm that is to address these issues at their core."--Back cover.

Abstract

The first interdisciplinary investigation of the cultural context of enactive embodiment, offering perspectives that range from the neurophilosophical to the anthropological. "The book brings together new contributions by some of the most renowned scholars in the field and the latest results from up-and-coming researchers. The contributors explore conceptual foundations, drawing on work by Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Sartre, and respond to recent critiques. They consider whether there is something in the self that precedes intersubjectivity and inquire into the relation between culture and consciousness, the nature of shared meaning and social understanding, the social dimension of shame, and the nature of joint affordances. They apply the notion of radical enactive cognition to evolutionary anthropology, and examine the concept of the body in relation to culture in light of studies in such fields as phenomenology, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and psychopathology. Through such investigations, the book breaks ground for the study of the interplay of embodiment, enaction, and culture"--Publisher's website.

Abstract

Enjoy the Ride! We all ride the Mood Elevator up and down every day. How well we do it impacts our relationships, our personal effectiveness, our career, and our experience of life. Most people take that ride for granted—but what if we knew the right buttons to push to move to the top? In this very practical guide, Larry Senn provides an operating manual to keep you out of the emotional basement. He shows how to interrupt negative thought patterns that keep you stuck on a lower floor—depressed, stressed, anxious, judgmental—and move higher by cultivating mental attitudes like curiosity and gratitude. Through Senn's decades of work as a consultant, the Mood Elevator has been enthusiastically embraced by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. By sharing his work with a wider audience, Senn hopes to help all of us live life at our best.

Abstract

Publisher's description: Die Sorge um das Selbst ist in jüngerer Vergangenheit als eines der zentralen Themen der hellenistischen Philosophie wiederentdeckt worden. Gudrun Holtz zeigt am Beispiel vor allem des jüdischen Theologen Philo von Alexandrien, aber auch des Apostels Paulus, wie theologische Anthropologie im Gegenüber zu zeitgenössischen philosophischen Konzeptionen des Selbst, insbesondere in der Stoa, entwickelt wird. Im Horizont theologischen Nachdenkens über die Souveränität Gottes erscheint die philosophische Sorge um das Selbst als eine Gestalt der Selbsterhebung des Menschen über Gott, die für Paulus unter das Verdikt des Selbstruhmes fällt und von Philo als missbräuchliche Verabsolutierung von Vernunft und sinnlicher Wahrnehmung kritisiert wird. Stellt Philo jeder Form von Selbstverabsolutierung die Alleinursächlichkeit und Gnadenmacht Gottes gegenüber, die allein dem Menschen die Überwindung der eigenen Nichtigkeit ermöglicht, so ist es bei Paulus die Erkenntnis des Handelns Gottes im Gekreuzigten, die sowohl die Nichtigkeit des Menschen als auch die machtvolle Gnade Gottes an den Tag bringt. Die theologisch-anthropologische Konzeption beider Autoren ist in ihrem gemeinsamen Kern auf die Formel 'nicht aus Menschen, sondern aus Gott' zu bringen. Die paulinische Rechtfertigungslehre erweist sich als eine Konkretion dieses gemeinsamen Kerns. Anders als zuletzt mehrfach vermutet, kann die stoische Gottesvorstellung nicht als eine Begrenzung der philosophischen Ansprüche des Selbst in Anschlag gebracht werden.

Abstract

In this book, Erick Raphael Jiménez examines Aristotle's concept of mind (nous), a key concept in Aristotelian psychology, metaphysics, and epistemology. Drawing on a close analysis of De Anima, Jiménez argues that mind is neither disembodied nor innate, as has commonly been held, but an embodied ability that emerges from learning and discovery. Looking to Aristotle's metaphysics and epistemology, Jiménez argues that just as Aristotelian mind is not innate, intelligibility is not an innate feature of the objects of Aristotelian mind, but an outcome of certain mental constructions that make those objects intelligible. Conversely, it is through these same mental constructions that thinkers become intelligent, or come to possess minds. Connecting this account to Aristotle's metaphysics and epistemology, Jiménez shows how this concept of mind fits within Aristotle's wider philosophy. His bold interpretation will interest a wide range of readers in ancient and later philosophy.

Abstract

Internationally acclaimed as a novelist, Siri Hustvedt is also highly regarded as a writer of non-fiction whose insights are drawn from her broad knowledge in the arts, humanities and sciences. In this trilogy of works collected in a single volume, Hustvedt brings a feminist, interdisciplinary perspective to a range of subjects. Louise Bourgeois, Pablo Picasso, Susan Sontag and Knut Ove Knausgaard are among those who come under her scrutiny. In the book's central essay, she explores the intractable mind-body problem and in the third section, reflects on the mysteries of hysteria, synesthesia, memory, perception and the philosophy of Kierkegaard. With clarity, wit, and passion, she exposes gender bias, upends received ideas and challenges her reader to think again.
