Philosophy of Emotion

Philosophy of Emotion

Emotions punctuate almost all significant events in our lives but their nature causes and consequences are among the least well understood aspects of human experience. It is easier to express emotions than to describe them and even harder to analyse and explain them. Despite their apparent familiarity emotions are an extremely subtle and complex topic. Unfortunately the topic was neglected by philosophers and scientists in the past. In recent decades however interest in the emotions has grown considerably among scholars and students from many disciplines as well as among the public at large. If there is to be any progress in this theoretically and practically important field not only is a broad philosophical examination of basic concepts and issues essential (drawing both on analytical philosophy and phenomenology) but also an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophical analysis with other types of scientific research (such as psychology anthropology history sociology and brain sciences). The clarification of basic emotional concepts as well as the unification of linguistic usages across disciplines and natural languages are necessary for integrating the growing body of interdisciplinary emotional research (e. g. does the traditional German Gefühl correspond to feeling or to emotion? and what about Stimmung?). The contemporary philosophy of emotions is equipped for this integrative task. It can provide us with a better and more comprehensive picture of the nature of emotions.

The History of the Philosophy of Mind Six volume set

Aphasia

Aphasia

Aphasia—from the Greek aphatos (‘speechless’)—describes impairments and disabilities in the use of language arising from for example strokes trauma tumours surgery or progressive brain deterioration. It includes problems with the expression and comprehension of language in speech reading writing and signing. Research in and around aphasia continues to flourish such that even for specialist aphasiologists it is extremely hard to keep up to date with developments. There is a real threat of laboratory-based human research neuropsychology computational-modelling research and brain-imaging studies proceeding in ignorance of each other. Indeed the sheer scale of the growth in cognitive neuroscience makes this collection especially timely and welcome; it permits ready access to the most influential and important works across the full breadth of the discipline. The materials gathered in Volume I include explorations of the foundations of aphasiology. The major works collected in the second volume examine theoretical developments while Volume III is organized around contemporary issues in aphasiology. The final volume makes sense of clinical issues such as recovery assessment and rehabilitation. With a full index together with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context Aphasia is an essential work of reference. For researchers and advanced students it is a vital one-stop research and instructional resource.

Collected English Writings of Josiah Conder

Collected English Writings of Josiah Conder

Josiah Conder (1852–1920) also known as Kondoru-sensei was hired by the Meiji Japanese government as the first professor of architecture for the Imperial College of Engineering (now Faculty of Engineering University of Tokyo). After receiving the Soane Medallion Prize of the RIBA he arrived in Japan in 1877 spending the rest of his life there. Often called the ‘father of Japanese architecture’ he established the education of architecture in Japan and most of his graduates played essential roles in the development of modern Japan's architecture. He played a leading role in developing Tokyo as an urban city of Western style and designed numerous public buildings including the Rokumeikan which became a symbol of Westernisation in the Meiji period as well as Mitsubishi 1-gokan Nicholai-do Kyu-Iwasakitei which are considered landmark buildings of Japanese architecture. This collection gathers together and reproduces in facsimile 65 of Josiah Conder’s most significant writings related to Japanese architecture arts and culture. A folio volume of Paintings and Studies by Kawanabe Kyosai is also included reproduced in the original size with illustrations and full colour plates as well as an album of Dr Conder’s photographs and illustrations. Dr Conder’s obituaries appeared in newspapers and journals and these too are included. Together the material collated for this collection makes it an indispensable resource for any student or scholar of Japanese art and culture. | Collected English Writings of Josiah Conder

Military History

Military History

Addressing the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature Military History is a new title from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Military Strategic and Security Studies series. Edited by Jeremy Black (‘the most prolific historical scholar of our age’) it is a four-volume collection which brings together the very best scholarship in a one-stop ‘mini library’ of major works. Black avers that military history is increasingly seen as a global enterprise and Eurocentric/Western perspectives and paradigms often now appear questionable if not redundant. Moreover a teleology of warfare leading towards the total warfare of the twentieth century—the two world wars and the Cold War—appears far less convincing he says in light of developments since 1990. This kind of re-examination of long-held assumptions about military history has guided the selection of materials which are organized chronologically but with abundant cross-referencing to enable users to pursue thematic approaches. The focus is on major works published since 1990 first to centre on current research questions and perspectives and secondly because earlier literature can be followed through these pieces. Military History is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential reference work and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital research and pedagogic resource.

Ship Sale and Purchase

Ship Sale and Purchase

Ship Sale and Purchase is the essential working guide for anyone involved in the business of making ship sale and purchase agreements and also in the resolution of disputes arising out of such agreements. The seventh edition of Ship Sale and Purchase contains a detailed clause-by-clause analysis of SHIPSALE 22 the new standard form Memorandum of Agreement for ship sales and purchases published by BIMCO in 2022. This clause-by-clause analysis is supplemented by commentary on the corresponding provisions of the other leading standard forms used in the global shipping markets - SALEFORM 2012 (the latest version of the longstanding standard form produced by the Norwegian Shipbrokers' Association) SINGAPORE SHIP SALE FORM 2011 and NIPPONSALE 1999 - and the main differences between these forms and SHIPSALE 22. This edition of Ship Sale and Purchase also contains a comprehensive description of the many ways in which standard form agreements may be modified through amendments to the printed terms and the use of additional clauses to suit the particular requirements of the parties to individual transactions. In addition it analyses relevant decisions of the English courts and arbitration tribunals and explains the implications of these decisions for ship sale and purchase transactions. The seventh edition also includes commentary on changes in working practices such as the use of electronic signatures the practice of remote closings payment mechanisms and the impact of sanctions and anti-corruption legislation. As with previous editions the seventh edition of Ship Sale and Purchase seeks to provide legal analysis market insight and practical guidance for all those involved in the business of buying and selling second-hand ships.

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Despite the fact that the appropriation of land and resources of the so-called New World necessarily involved the dispossession and exploitation (and sometimes genocide) of the original inhabitants of colonized nations it was not until the late twentieth century that Indigenous Peoples attained any meaningful degree of legal recognition in both national and international spheres. Until then Indigenous Peoples (also known as ‘First Nations’ and ‘First Peoples’) were routinely denied any form of juridical identity. Research in and around Indigenous Peoples and the Law is now very wide-ranging and flourishes as never before. But much of the relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized and compartmentalized so that it is difficult for many of those who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed balanced and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection meets the need for an authoritative anthology to make sense of the subject’s vast and dispersed literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Drawing on a wide variety of materials from a broad range of disciplines and theoretical approaches the collection gathers canonical and cutting-edge major works in a ‘one-stop’ resource to enable users to understand how the law Indigenous Peoples encounter has been transformed from an oppressive rights-denying system to a site of contestation and for the articulation of claims. The collection includes a full index and is supplemented by introductions to each volume newly written by the editors which place the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indigenous Peoples and the Law is an essential reference work which will be valued as a vital resource by students scholars policy-makers and practitioners.

Merkin and Flannery on the Arbitration Act 1996

Merkin and Flannery on the Arbitration Act 1996

This book is an essential resource for anybody involved in arbitration. It is an updated section-by-section commentary on the Arbitration Act 1996 split into a separate set of notes for each section and subdivided into the relevant issues within that section. It contains elements of international comparative law citing authorities from many other common law and civil law jurisdictions. Beyond the development of law since the last edition this sixth edition contains new practical features to aid the reader. Each section now has a new contents table with each separate topic set out clearly and in a logical order which acts as reminder for the reader. Further each separate topic now has a specific individual reference and the topics are grouped in a more systematic and logical way within each section to improve readability. The book is primarily aimed at practitioners of arbitration both in the UK and abroad including solicitors barristers arbitrators and judges who are involved in the practice of arbitration (whether domestic or international). It is also aimed at UK and international students of international arbitration especially in relation to the sections with comparative legal analysis and comprehensive discussions on the interaction between the Arbitration Act 1996 and institutional arbitration rules. Erratum: The authors regret that the new version of the LCIA Rules will not now be published (or be applicable) until early 2020 due to unexpected circumstances. It is understood that those Articles referred to in the text as the 2019 Rules will remain unchanged albeit that the Rules when in force should be and will be cited as the 2020 LCIA Rules. The authors accept responsibility for and apologise for this error. | Merkin and Flannery on the Arbitration Act 1996
