The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

This volume stages a series of encounters between the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy and leading scholars of his work along four major themes of Nancy’s thought: sense experience existence and Christianity. In doing so the volume seeks to remind readers that Nancy’s sens has many meanings in French: aside from those that easily carry over into English i. e. everything to do with meaning and the senses; it also includes the way they are conducted the direction they take the thrust or pulse in which the circulation of sense exists. Faithful to this plural understanding of sens the writings collected here aim to join Jean-Luc Nancy in the process of making-sense that animates his thinking rather than to deliver a definitive summary of his position on any given issue. They are conceived of as notes along the way documenting encounters as moments of (re)direction and recording the pulse of sense that animates them. In that spirit Nancy himself has provided each contribution with an echo in which he in turn responds to each author and thereby continues their mutual encounter. Aside from these echoes this volume includes an original essay in which Nancy reflects upon the international trajectory of his thinking; a trajectory that is to be and undoubtedly will be continued in many different directions across and around the world. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Angelaki. | The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

The Strange Death of Liberal England 1910-1914

The Strange Death of Liberal England 1910-1914

This book focuses on the chaos that overtook England on the eve of the First World War. Dangerfield weaves together the three wild strands of the Irish Rebellion (the rebellion in Ulster) the Suffragette Movement and the Labour Movement to produce a vital picture of the state of mind and the most pressing social problems in England at the time. The country was preparing even then for its entrance into the twentieth century and total war. Dangerfield argues that between the death of Edward VII and the First World War there was a considerable hiatus in English history. He states that 1910 was a landmark year in English history. In 1910 the English spirit flared up so that by the end of 1913 Liberal England was reduced to ashes. From these ashes a new England emerged in which the true prewar Liberalism was supported by free trade a majority in Parliament the Ten Commandments but the illusion of progress vanished. That extravagant behavior of the postwar decade Dangerfield notes had begun before the war. The war hastened everything - in politics in economics in behavior - but it started nothing. George Dangerfield's wonderfully written 1935 book has been extraordinarily influential. Scarcely any important analyst of modern Britain has failed to cite it and to make use of the understanding Dangerfield provides. This edition is timely since the year 2010 has seen a definitive resurrection of Liberal power. Subsequent to the General Election of July 2010 the government of the United Kingdom has been in the hands of a Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition. The Deputy Prime Minister is the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party - the direct successor of the old Liberal Party examined by Dangerfield. Five Liberal Democrat members of Parliament were appointed to the Cabinet and there are Liberal Democrat ministers in all governmental departments. After decades of absence from government power Liberalism seems to be back with a vengeance. | The Strange Death of Liberal England 1910-1914

Essays On Entrepreneurs Innovations Business Cycles and the Evolution of Capitalism

Essays On Entrepreneurs Innovations Business Cycles and the Evolution of Capitalism

Ordinarily the word essays is invoked at great risk by authors and publishers alike. But in the case of this special collection by Joseph A. Schumpeter the great Austrian economist who finally settled at Harvard the scholarly world knows this particular volume as his Essays. For a less pious younger generation a subtitle has been added describing what these essays are about. In addition to the major themes of Schumpeter's life: the place of the entrepreneur in economic development the risks and rewards of innovation business cycles and why they occur and the evolution of capitalism in Europe and America the Essays contain statements on how Schumpeter viewed his own development; they discuss how he looked at Marxism and how he feared that economics was in danger of becoming too ideological. Several of the Essays are classics. This is the case for The Creative Response in Economic History in which Schumpeter makes a plea for the close cooperation between economic theory and economic history. Another is Science and Ideology which constitutes Schumpeter's presidential address before the American Economic Association. Finally there is the intriguing preface to the Japanese translation of Theory of Economic Development in which Schumpeter names Walras and Marx as his two great predecessors. Even those who treasure the original publication were irritated by the remarkably poor quality of much of the book which reproduced everything from typewriter script to nearly unreadable reduced double columns. These lapses have been corrected in this new edition. Here Schumpeter's Essays can finally be read with the enjoyment no lesS than enlightenment they deserve. The volume is alive to the basic issues of our time. The reader can look forward to intellectual insight and stimuli of the highest order. | Essays On Entrepreneurs Innovations Business Cycles and the Evolution of Capitalism

Anselm of Canterbury The Beauty of Theology

Anselm of Canterbury The Beauty of Theology

Anselm is a major figure in theological philosophical and historical studies. This book provides a fresh approach to the study of this great figure; one which provides critical interaction with current critical thinking whilst arguing in favour of the idea of theological unity in Anselm's corpus. Exploring the Proslogion but also more 'minor' works David Hogg interacts with the theological content of Anselm's writings: showing how Anselm's ontological argument fits into the wider context of his theology; comparing the holistic approach of Anselm's thought with that of other medieval personages and fitting him into the wider medieval context; and revealing how Anselm's theology integrates the atonement and questions of predestination the fall of the Devil and free will and other issues. The book concludes with an assessment of the impact of Anselm's theology during his own time and the continuing effect his thinking has had on succeeding centuries of theological development. | Anselm of Canterbury The Beauty of Theology

The Sociology of Knowledge Toward a Deeper Understanding of the History of Ideas

The Sociology of Knowledge Toward a Deeper Understanding of the History of Ideas

This volume serves as both an introduction to the field of the sociology of knowledge and an interpretation of the thought of the major figures associated with its development More than a compendium of ideas Stark seeks here to put order into what he regarded as a diffuse tradition of diverse bodies of thought in particular the seemingly irreconcilable conflict between the study of the political element in thought identified here with Karl Mannheim and the investigation of the social element in thinking associated with the work of Max Scheler. The sociology of knowledge is primarily directed toward the study of the precise ways that human experience through the mediation of knowledge takes on a conscious and communicable shape. While both schools dealt with by Stark assume that the pursuit of truth is not purposeful apart from socially and historically determined structures of meaning the tradition extending from Marx to Mannheim seeks to expose hidden factors that turn us away from the truth while that of Weber and Scheler attempts to identify social forces that impart a definite direction to our search for itIn order to reconcile opposing theoretical positions Stark seeks to lay the foundations for a theory of the social determination of thought by directing his inquiry to the philosophical problem of truth in a manner compatible with cultural sociology. Stark's theoretical legacy to the sociology of knowledge is that social influences operate everywhere through a group's ethos. From this many systems of ideas and social categories emanate revealing partial glimpses of a synthetic whole. The outcome of Stark's work is a general theory of social determination remarkably consistent with contemporary interests in the broad range of cultural studies whose focus is best described as the use of philosophical literary and historical approaches to study the social construction of meaning. The Sociology of Knowledge will be of great interest to social scientists philosophers and intellectual historians. | The Sociology of Knowledge Toward a Deeper Understanding of the History of Ideas

Fundamental Principles of the Sociology of Law

Fundamental Principles of the Sociology of Law

The innovative and revolutionary scholarship of the eminent Austrian legal theorist and professor of Roman law Eugen Ehrlich (1862-1922) is of a very high caliber. His work has not only held its place well in view of what legal theory especially sociological legal theory has to offer but is also still a powerful challenge to positions in legal theory that are no longer defensible. The sociology of law has followed in a direct line of succession from Ehrlich's observations and ideas as a new and special discipline linking jurisprudence with sociology. | Fundamental Principles of the Sociology of Law

Trajectories of Translation The Thermodynamics of Semiosis

Trajectories of Translation The Thermodynamics of Semiosis

This book builds on Marais’s innovative A (Bio)Semiotic Theory of Translation to explore the implications of this conceptualization of translation as the semiotic work from which social-cultural reality emerges and chart the way forward for applications in empirical research. The volume brings together some of the latest developments in biosemiotics social semiotics and Peircean semiotics with emergent work in translation studies towards better understanding the emergence of trajectories in society-culture through semiotic processes. The book further develops lines of thinking around thermodynamics in the work of Terrence Deacon to consider the ways in which ideas emerge from matter creating meaning and its opposites namely the ways in which ideas constrain matter. Marais links these theoretical strands to empirical case studies in the final three chapters towards operationalizing these concepts for further empirical work. This book is aimed at academics in the fields of translation studies semiotics multimodal/multimedial studies cultural studies and development studies. It will also be applicable to postgraduate students in these fields. | Trajectories of Translation The Thermodynamics of Semiosis

The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge

In this seminal contribution to the sociology of knowledge first published in 1940 Florian Znaniecki develops a typology of the variety of specific social roles that scholars have played and investigates the normative patterns that govern their behavior. A central tool for the investigation of these problems is the notion of “social circle” the audience to which intellectuals address themselves. Znaniecki shows that thinkers do not speak to the total society but address selected segments and markets. Specific social circles bestow recognition provide material or psychic support and help shape the self-image of the thinker. | The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge
