One of the most important philosophers of recent times, Morton White has spent a career building bridges among the increasingly fragmented worlds of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. From a Philosophical Point of View is a selection of White's best essays, written over a period of more than sixty years. Together these selections represent the belief that philosophers should reflect not only on mathematics and science but also on other aspects of culture, such as religion, art, history, law, education, and morality. White's essays cover the full range of his interests: studies in ethics, the theory of knowledge, and metaphysics as well as in the philosophy of culture, the history of pragmatism, and allied currents in social, political, and legal thought. The book also includes pieces on philosophers who have influenced White at different stages of his career, among them William James, John Dewey, G. E. Moore, and W. V. Quine. Throughout, White argues from a holistic standpoint against a sharp epistemological distinction between logical and physical beliefs and also against an equally sharp one between descriptive and normative beliefs. White maintains that once the philosopher abandons the dogma that the logical analysis of mathematics and physics is the essence of his subject, he frees himself to resume his traditional role as a student of the central institutions of civilization. Philosophers should function not merely as spectators of all time and existence, he argues, but as empirically minded students of culture who try to use some of their ideas for the benefit of society.

This 2005 volume provides an extensive translation of the notes and fragments that survived Kant's death in 1804. These include marginalia, lecture notes, and sketches and drafts for his published works. They are important as an indispensable resource for understanding Kant's intellectual development and published works, casting fresh light on Kant's conception of his own philosophical methods and his relations to his predecessors, as well as on central doctrines of his work such as the theory of space, time and categories, the refutations of scepticism and metaphysical dogmatism, the theory of the value of freedom and the possibility of free will, the conception of God, the theory of beauty, and much more.

Roland Barthes (1915-1980) had een bijzonder vermogen om in het dorre woud van de concepten persoonlijke fascinaties op het spoor te komen. Door de onnavolgbare vermenging van eruditie, stijl en politiek bewustzijn prikkelt zijn werk – literatuurbeschouwing, cultuurkritiek, essayistiek in de ruimste zin des woords – steeds weer nieuwe lezers. Roland Barthes is een postume tijdgenoot. Onder de titel Memo Barthes stellen Rokus Hofstede en Jürgen Pieters een boek samen over de intellectuele erfenis van Roland Barthes. Zestien Nederlandse en Vlaamse auteurs reflecteren over de invloed van Barthes, onder het motto: ‘Barthes, wat kunnen we er vandaag de dag nog mee?’ In de geest van de meester hebben hun reflecties nu eens de vorm van persoonlijk getinte essays, dan weer van objectiverende beschouwingen. In het boek zijn tevens acht vertaalde artikelen opgenomen, essays over literatuur, muziek, film, fotografie, taal en maatschappij, cultuur en engagement, die een beeld geven van Barthes’ veelzijdige kritische activiteit. Naast het tekstgedeelte bevat het boek een beelddossier. Memo Barthes bevat bijdragen van onder anderen Martin de Haan, Pol Hoste, Erik de Kuyper, Rudi Laermans, Charlotte Mutsaers, Jacq Vogelaar. Samenstelling en redactie zijn in handen van Rokus Hofstede en Jürgen Pieters.

'Justice' and 'democracy' have alternated as dominant themes in political philosophy over the last fifty years. Since its revival in the middle of the twentieth century, political philosophy has focused on first one and then the other of these two themes. Rarely, however, has it succeeded in holding them in joint focus. This volume brings together leading authors who consider the relationship between democracy and justice in a set of specially written chapters. The intrinsic justness of democracy is challenged, the relationship between justice, democracy and impartiality queried and the relationship between justice, democracy and the common good examined. Further chapters explore the problem of social exclusion and issues surrounding sub-national groups in the context of democracy and justice. Authors include Keith Dowding, Richard Arneson, Norman Schofield, Albert Weale, Robert E. Goodin, Jon Elster, David Miller, Phillip Pettit, Julian LeGrand and Russell Hardin.
