The Mystery of Chopin's Préludes

The Mystery of Chopin's Préludes

Chopin's twenty-four Préludes remain as mysterious today as when they were newly published. What prompted Franz Liszt and others to consider Chopin's Préludes to be compositions in their own right rather than introductions to other works? What did set Chopin's Préludes so drastically apart from their forerunners? What exactly was 'the morbid the feverish the repellent' that Schumann heard in Opus 28 in that 'wild motley' of 'strange sketches' and 'ruins'? Why did Liszt and another anonymous reviewer publicly suggest that Lamartine's poem Les Préludes served as an inspiration for Chopin's Opus 28? And if that is indeed the case how did the poem affect the structure and the thematic contents of Chopin's Préludes? And lastly is Opus 28 a random assortment of short pieces or a cohesive cycle? In this monograph richly illustrated with musical examples Anatole Leikin combines historical perspectives hermeneutic and thematic analyses and a range of practical implications for performers to explore these questions and illuminate the music of one of the best loved collections of music for the piano. | The Mystery of Chopin's Préludes

Rethinking J.S. Bach's The Art of Fugue

Rethinking J.S. Bach's The Art of Fugue

The enigmatic character of The Art of Fugue became apparent as early as in its first edition printed more than a year after the composer’s death. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach who published both the first and the second editions raised several unsolved questions regarding this opus. Anatoly P Milka presents a consistent and coherent solution to the unresolved questions about the history structure and appearance of J. S. Bach’s The Art of Fugue opening new perspectives for further exploration of this musical masterpiece. Milka challenges the present scholarly consensus that there exist two different versions of The Art of Fugue (the Autograph and the Original Edition) and argues that Bach had considered four versions of which only two are apparent and have been discussed so far. Only Bach’s illness and death prevented him from fulfilling his plan and publishing a fourth conclusive version of his opus. | Rethinking J. S. Bach's The Art of Fugue

Myth Literature and the Unconscious

Myth Literature and the Unconscious

At a time when the place and significance of myth in society has come under renewed scrutiny Myth Literature and the Unconscious contributes to shaping the new interdisciplinary field of myth studies. The editors find in psychoanalysis a natural and necessary ally for investigations in myth and myth-informed literature and the arts. At the same time the collection re-values myths and myth-based cultural products as vital aids to the discipline and practice of psychoanalysis. The volume spans a vast geo-cultural range (including ancient Egypt India Japan nineteenth-century France and twentieth-century Germany) and investigates cultural products from the Mahabharata to J. W. Goethe's opus and eighteenth-century Japanese fiction and from William Blake's visionary poetry to contemporary blockbuster television series. It encompasses mythic topics and figures such as Oedipus Orpheus the Scapegoat and the Hero while mobilising Freudian Jungian object relations and Lacanian psychoanalytic approaches.

Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Scientific Philosophy The Kitāb al-Mu‘tabar

Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Scientific Philosophy The Kitāb al-Mu‘tabar

Abū’l-Barakāt is often considered one of the most comprehensive philosophers of the Arabic-Jewish milieu in the medieval age. His extensive and unique philosophical theories especially his theories in the particular sciences were seen as a major challenge for the traditional conceptions of the Aristotelian school of thought during and after this period. ‘Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Scientific Philosophy’ explores the core material of Abū’l-Barakāt’s scientific studies found in his magnum opus the Kitāb al-Mu‘tabar. The book then locates these scientific theories within Abū’l-Barakāt’s philosophy more widely. Whilst providing a comprehensive critique of ancient philosophy including the work of Aristotle certain affinities between Abū’l-Barakāt’s work and that of more modern scientific conceptions are also examined. Containing vast amounts of previously untranslated text ‘Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Scientific Philosophy’ sheds new light on the philosopher’s scientific theories particularly with regards to his logical conceptions. For this reason the book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Jewish and Islamic Philosophy whilst the scientific material will appeal to those studying the history of science. | Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Scientific Philosophy The Kitāb al-Mu‘tabar

Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Metaphysical Philosophy The Kitāb al-Mu‘tabar

Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Metaphysical Philosophy The Kitāb al-Mu‘tabar

Abū’l-Barakāt is a renowned philosopher of the Arabic-Jewish milieu who composed in his magnum opus the Kitāb al-Mu‘tabar a comprehensive metaphysics which challenged the accepted notions of the traditional metaphysical philosophy. ‘Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Metaphysical Philosophy’ examines the novel philosophical conceptions of the first book of the Metaphysics of the Kitāb al-Mu‘tabar. The aim is to present a developed conception of Abū’l-Barakāt’s systematic metaphysics. This is accomplished by following the order of topics discussed while translating the relevant passages. These different topics comprise stages of cognition that move from an analysis of time creation and causality to the conception of a higher spiritual realm of mental entities and a conception of God as the First Knower and Teacher. The epistemological and ontological conceptions are analyzed at each culminating stage. ‘Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Metaphysical Philosophy’ analyzes vast portions of the metaphysical study for the first time. The book will thus be a valuable resource for all those seeking an original and broad metaphysics and for students and scholars of Jewish and Islamic Philosophy. Furthermore it is of importance for those seeking a metaphysics related to scientific theories and those interested in the history of science and metaphysics. | Abū’l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī’s Metaphysical Philosophy The Kitāb al-Mu‘tabar

The Invention of Humboldt On the Geopolitics of Knowledge

The Invention of Humboldt On the Geopolitics of Knowledge

The Invention of Humboldt is a game-changing volume of essays by leading scholars of the Hispanic world that explodes many myths about Alexander von Humboldt and his world. Rather than ‘follow in Humboldt’s footsteps ’ this book outlines the new critical horizon of post-Humboldtian Humboldt studies: the archaeology of all that lies buried under the Baron’s epistemological footprint. Contrary to the popular image of Humboldt as a solitary ‘adventurer’ and ‘hero of science’ surrounded by New World nature The Invention of Humboldt demonstrates that the Baron’s opus and practice was largely derivative of the knowledge communities and archives of the Hispanic world. Although Humboldtian writing has invented a powerful cult that has served to erase the sources of his knowledge and practice in truth Humboldt did not ‘invent nature ’ nor did he pioneer global science: he was the beneficiary of Iberian natural science and globalization. Nor was Humboldt a pioneering ‘postcolonial’ cultural relativist. Instead his anthropological views of the Americas were Orientalist and historicist and in most ways were less enlightened than those of his Creole contemporaries. This book will reshape the landscape of Humboldt scholarship. It is essential reading for all those interested in Alexander von Humboldt the Hispanic American enlightenment and the global history of science and knowledge. | The Invention of Humboldt On the Geopolitics of Knowledge

The Alchemical Mercurius Esoteric symbol of Jung’s life and works

The Alchemical Mercurius Esoteric symbol of Jung’s life and works

The figure of the alchemical Mercurius features ubiquitously and radically in Jung’s later works but despite this there has been little research concerning Mercurius in Jungian studies to date. In this book Mathew Mather explores the figure of the alchemical Mercurius and contextualises and clarifies its significance in Jung’s life and works. Placing the alchemical Mercurius as a central concern reveals a Jungian interpretation in which the grail legend alchemy and precessional astrology as three thematic threads converge. In such a treatment Jung’s belief in the dawning of a new platonic month emerges as a central consideration and an esoteric perspective on Jung’s life and works is brought more fully to light constructing a life-myth interpretation. The book is comprised of three parts: Aurea Catena: locating the figure of the alchemical Mercurius within the Western esoteric tradition Daimonic Encounter: the relevance of this figure in Jung’s personal life Magnum Opus: Jung’s portrayal of this figure in key texts such as Synchronicity Aion Mysterium Coniunctionis; and Emma Jung and von Franz’s The Grail Legend. The Alchemical Mercurius is a unique contribution to analytical psychology substantially revealing ‘esoteric Jung’ and providing valuable perspectives on the theme of his myth for our times. The book will appeal to researchers and academics in the field of analytical psychology as well as postgraduate students. | The Alchemical Mercurius Esoteric symbol of Jung’s life and works

Law Legislation and Liberty A New Statement of the Liberal Principles of Justice and Political Economy

Law Legislation and Liberty A New Statement of the Liberal Principles of Justice and Political Economy

A new edition of F. A. Hayek’s three-part opus Law Legislation and Liberty collated in a single volume In this critical entry in the Collected Works of F. A. Hayek series political philosopher Jeremy Shearmur collates Hayek’s three-part study of law and liberty and places Hayek’s writings in careful historical context. Incisive and unrestrained Law Legislation and Liberty is Hayek at his late-life best making it essential reading for understanding the philosopher’s politics and worldview. These three volumes constitute a scaling up of the framework offered in Hayek’s famed The Road to Serfdom. Volume 1 Rules and Order espouses the virtues of classical liberalism; Volume 2 The Mirage of Social Justice examines the societal forces that undermine liberalism and with it liberalism’s capacity to induce spontaneous order; and Volume 3 The Political Order of a Free People proposes alternatives and interventions against emerging anti-liberal movements including a rule of law that resides in stasis with personal freedom. Shearmur’s treatment of this challenging work—including an immersive new introduction a conversion of Hayek’s copious endnotes to footnotes corrections to Hayek’s references and quotations and the provision of translations to material that Hayek cited only in languages other than English—lends it new importance and accessibility. Rendered anew for the next generations of scholars this revision of Hayek’s Law Legislation and Liberty is sure to become the standard. | Law Legislation and Liberty A New Statement of the Liberal Principles of Justice and Political Economy

Before and After Corroboree: The Music of John Antill

Before and After Corroboree: The Music of John Antill

John Antill (1904-1986) was one of the foremost composers of Australia's post-colonial period. Although a relatively prolific and much esteemed composer in Australia Antill's wider reputation is sustained chiefly by his famous ballet Corroboree - a work which was perceived to bring an authentic Australian musical style before both a national and international audience for the first time. Through Sir Eugene Goossens' championship the work was heard by enthusiastic audiences in Australia Britain Europe and the USA and was for many years the best-known work of any Australian-born and resident composer. Indeed it has remained for both Australian and overseas audiences an Australian musical icon. David Symons traces Antill's development as a composer from his early pre-Corroboree works which display a late Romantic to post-impressionist style through an analysis of the virile dissonant primitivist idiom of his magnum opus to an examination of his later output of theatrical orchestral and vocal/choral works. The book provides comprehensive and valuable insight into Antill's musical output at the same time focussing on more detailed analyses of his major works which have reached public performances and/or recordings. In this way the book not only presents a developmental picture of Antill's works but also demonstrates why they have made him one of Australia's most prominent musical creators of the post-colonial period. | Before and After Corroboree: The Music of John Antill

Reading Lacan’s Écrits: From ‘Signification of the Phallus’ to ‘Metaphor of the Subject’

Reading Lacan’s Écrits: From ‘Signification of the Phallus’ to ‘Metaphor of the Subject’

The Écrits was Jacques Lacan’s single most important text a landmark in psychoanalysis which epitomized his aim of returning to Freud via structural linguistics philosophy and literature. Reading Lacan’s Écrits is the first extensive set of commentaries on the complete edition of Lacan’s Écrits to be published in English. An invaluable document in the history of psychoanalysis and one of the most challenging intellectual works of the twentieth century Lacan’s Écrits still today begs the interpretative engagement of clinicians scholars philosophers and cultural theorists. The three volumes of Reading Lacan’s Écrits offer just this: a series of systematic paragraph-by-paragraph commentaries – by some of the world’s most renowned Lacanian analysts and scholars – on the complete edition of the Écrits inclusive of lesser known articles such as ‘Kant with Sade’ ‘The Youth of Gide’ ‘Science and Truth’ ‘Presentation on Transference’ and ‘Beyond the Reality Principle. The originality and importance of Lacan’s Écrits to psychoanalysis and intellectual history is matched only by the text’s notorious inaccessibility. Reading Lacan’s Écrits is an indispensable companion piece and reference-text for clinicians and scholars exploring Lacan's magnum opus. Not only does it contextualize explain and interrogate Lacan's arguments it provides multiple interpretative routes through this most labyrinthine of texts. Reading Lacan’s Écrits provides an incisive and accessible companion for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in training and in practice as well as philosophers cultural theorists and literary social science and humanities researchers who wish to draw upon Lacan’s pivotal work. | Reading Lacan’s Écrits: From ‘Signification of the Phallus’ to ‘Metaphor of the Subject’

A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom Volume 2 From Creation to the Victory of Scientific and Literary Methods

A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom Volume 2 From Creation to the Victory of Scientific and Literary Methods

Given the powerful and forthright title of Andrew Dickson White's classic study it is best to make clear his own sense of the whole as given in the original 1896 edition: My conviction is that science though it has evidently conquered dogmatic theology based on biblical texts and ancient modes of thought will go hand in hand with religion and that although theological control will continue to diminish religion as seen in the recognition of a 'power in the universe not ourselves which makes for righteousness' and in the love of God and of our neighbor will steadily grow stronger and stronger not only in the American institutions of learning but in the world at large. White began to assemble his magnum opus a two volume work first published in 1896 as A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom. In correspondence he wrote that he intended the work to stake out a position between such religious orthodoxy as John Henry Newman's on one side and such secular scoffing as Robert Ingersoll's on the other. Historian Paul Carter declared that this book did as much as any other published work toward routing orthodoxy in the name of science. Insofar as science and religion came to be widely viewed as enemies with science holding the moral high ground White inadvertently became one of the most effective and influential advocates for unbelief. | A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom Volume 2 From Creation to the Victory of Scientific and Literary Methods

The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms Three Volume Set

The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms Three Volume Set

Ernst Cassirer occupies a unique space in twentieth-century philosophy. A great liberal humanist his multi-faceted work spans the history of philosophy the philosophy of science intellectual history aesthetics epistemology the study of language and myth and more. Cassirer’s thought also anticipates the renewed interest in the origins of analytic and continental philosophy in the Twentieth Century and the divergent paths taken by the 'logicist' and existential traditions epitomised by his now legendary debate in 1929 with the philosopher Martin Heidegger over the question What is the Human Being? The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms is Cassirer's most important work. It was first published in German in 1923 the third and final volume appearing in 1929. In it Cassirer presents a radical new philosophical worldview - at once rich creative and controversial - of human beings as fundamentally symbolic animals placing signs and systems of expression between themselves and the world. This major new translation of all three volumes the first for over fifty years brings Cassirer's magnum opus to a new generation of students and scholars. Taken together the three volumes of The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms are a vital treatise on human beings as symbolic animals and a monumental expression of neo-Kantian thought. Correcting important errors in previous English editions this translation reflects the contributions of significant advances in Cassirer scholarship over the last twenty to thirty years. Each volume includes a new introduction and translator's notes by Steve G. Lofts a foreword by Peter E. Gordon a glossary of key terms and a thorough index. | The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms Three Volume Set

Keynes Against Capitalism His Economic Case for Liberal Socialism

Keynes Against Capitalism His Economic Case for Liberal Socialism

Keynes is one of the most important and influential economists who ever lived. It is almost universally believed that Keynes wrote his magnum opus The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money to save capitalism from the socialist communist and fascist forces that were rising up during the Great Depression era. This book argues that this was not the case with respect to socialism. Tracing the evolution of Keynes’s views on policy from WWI until his death in 1946 Crotty argues that virtually all post-WWII Keynesian economists misinterpreted crucial parts of Keynes’s economic theory misunderstood many of his policy views and failed to realize that his overarching political objective was not to save British capitalism but rather to replace it with Liberal Socialism. This book shows how Keynes’s Liberal Socialism began to take shape in his mind in the mid-1920s evolved into a more concrete institutional form over the next decade or so and was laid out in detail in his work on postwar economic planning at Britain’s Treasury during WWII. Finally it explains how The General Theory provided the rigorous economic theoretical foundation needed to support his case against capitalism in support of Liberal Socialism. Offering an original and highly informative exposition of Keynes’s work this book should be of great interest to teachers and students of economics. It should also appeal to a general audience interested in the role the most important economist of the 20th century played in developing the case against capitalism and in support of Liberal Socialism. Keynes Against Capitalism is especially relevant in the context of today’s global economic and political crises. | Keynes Against Capitalism His Economic Case for Liberal Socialism

Studies in Indo-Muslim History by S.H. Hodivala Volume I A Critical Commentary on Elliot and Dowson’s History of India as Told by Its Own Hi

Studies in Indo-Muslim History by S.H. Hodivala Volume I A Critical Commentary on Elliot and Dowson’s History of India as Told by Its Own Hi

In the field of medieval Indian historiography an eight-volume magnum opus History of India as Told by Its Own Historians by Sir Henry Myers Elliot (1808-53) and the editor-compiler of his posthumous papers John Dowson (1820-81) was published from London between 1867 and 1877. These landmark volumes continue to retain their popularity even nearly hundred and fifty years later and scholars still learn from and conduct their research on the basis of this work. However an enterprise of this scale and magnitude was bound to suffer from some serious shortcomings. An eminent Indian scholar S. H. Hodivala undertook the daunting task of annotating Elliot and Dowson’s volumes and worked through all the new material selecting or criticizing and adding his own suggestions where previous comments did not exist or appeared unsuitable. The first volume of Hodivala’s annotated Studies was published in 1939 while the second was published posthumously in 1957. Over the years while the work of Elliot and Dowson has seen many reprints and is even available online now Hodivala’s volumes have receded into obscurity. A new edition is presented here for the first time. Hodivala also published critical commentaries on 238 of about 2000 entries included in another very famous work Hobson-Jobson (London 1886) by Sir Henry Yule (1820-89) and Arthur Coke Burnell (1840-82). These have also been included in the present edition. These volumes are thus aimed at serving as an indispensable compendium of both Elliot and Dowson’s and for Yule and Burnell’s excellent contributions of colonial scholarship. At the same time these would also serve as a guide for comparative studies and critical appreciation of historical texts.

Max Weber A Biography

Max Weber A Biography

A founder of contemporary social science Max Weber was born in Germany in 1864. At his death 56 years later he was nationally known for his scholarly and political writings but it was the international reception of his oeuvre over the last forty years that has made him world-famous. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism The Economic Ethics of the World Religions and his magnum opus Economy and Society with its treatment of the relations of economics politics law and religion belong to the great achievements of 20th-century social science. The groundwork for the posthumous Weber reception was laid by Weber's widow Marianne a well-known feminist writer who followed up her edition of his collected works with one of the greatest biographies in a generation that produced many important accounts of itself. Although unavailable in English until a decade ago the importance of Marianne Weber's 1926 work had been widely understood. Sociologist Robert A. Nisbet called it a moving and deeply felt biographical memoir. Historian Gerhard Masur cited the book as the foundation of all further inquiries into Max Weber's life and influence. Beginning with Max's ancestry and early years Marianne Weber guides us through his life as student young lawyer scholar and political writer quoting liberally from his voluminous correspondence. Her account of his nervous breakdown after 1897 which curtailed his academic career but ultimately strengthened his creative energies provides deep insight into some of the personal tensions that troubled him to the end. In addition to her perceptive personal and intellectual life before the First World War describing many scholars social reformers politicians and literary figures within and beyond the famous Heidelberg circle of the Webers. The new introduction by Guenther Roth situates Marianne Weber's own role in the contemporary setting and discusses the current state of Weber research and of the international Weber reception. | Max Weber A Biography
