Understanding Edgar Allan Poe: They Who Dream by Day
ISBN: 9781527550827 / Twarda / 2023 / 121 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many of Edgar Allan Poe’s characters go through extreme, exhilarating, horrific experiences, and report on them. But how can we trust such reports, as under those circumstances they must have gone out of their minds? Through an all-encompassing, minute analysis of the entirety of Poe’s work, both his fiction and his nonfiction, this book argues that descending into a gigantic whirlpool, or being tormented by the Inquisition or by bloodthirsty natives, are only indications of what it takes to encounter others in everyday life. To understand them, we must in all cases go out of our minds,...

Exercises in Constructive Imagination
ISBN: 9780792367024 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Philosophy in this century has often self-consciously presented itself as aiming at the destruction or deconstruction of the philosophical tradition or even of theorizing as such. The basis for such self-description may well be a deep-seated anxiety about death; but whatever its grounds, the procession of distinguished intellectuals who seem mostly concerned with who gets to turn off the light on philosophy on his/her way out is one main reason why philosophy seems to have lost its grip on public opinion and public policy. Which is ironical, because there is often considerable constructive...

Return From Exile: A Theory of Possibility
ISBN: 9780739185230 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In modern thought, possibility has been exiled to other worlds, in a move best typified by Leibniz. And the move has obvious repercussions in popular culture, where possibility is lived mostly as an exotic evasion, whose outcome--consistently with the Leibnizian model--reinforces the hold of conventional reality, elevating it all the way to a necessity. Return from Exile: A Theory of Possibility sees this outcome as a challenge. It is divided into three main parts. In the first, Ermanno Bencivenga presents the Leibnizian model in some detail, together with its heirs in the contemporary...

The Discipline of Subjectivity: An Essay on Montaigne
ISBN: 9780691636214 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Through an interpretation of Montaigne's philosophical vision as expressed in his Essays, Ermanno Bencivenga contributes to the current debate about the "death of the subject" by developing a view of the self as a project of continuous construction rather than the source and foundation of knowledge. This latter, Cartesian conception of self-consciousness as a logical and epistemological starting point is, Bencivenga contends, delusive: the certainty it provides is more akin to faith than to a cognitive state. How then do we acquire knowledge of the self? Montaigne makes for a productive...

Dancing Souls
ISBN: 9780739104965 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Dancing Souls Bencivenga addresses the crucial question of how the subject can be one and multiple at the same time. He finds that this phenomenon is like the disciplined movement of the dancer through space. Bencivenga explores the structure of this ontological betweenness in its various levels of complexity from the most intimately personal to the communal and the political.

ISBN: 9780872203648 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Translated by Bencivenga from the original Italian of his philosophical best-seller, this dialogue provides a comprehensive statement on the role of freedom in the realms of morality, psychology, metaphysics, and aesthetics. Bencivenga lets his four characters embrace a wide range of topics in their eclectic discussion, including considerations of quantum physics and deconstruction, the Gothic novel and detective stories, the structure of desire and the mathematics of infinity, penetrating comments on Freud, Raymond Chandler, and Wertverlufe, and a reasonable explanation of why Kants first...

Ethics Vindicated: Kant's Transcendental Legitimation of Moral Discourse
ISBN: 9780195307351 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Can we regard ourselves as having free will? What is the place of values in a world of facts? What grounds the authority of moral injunctions, and why should we care about them? Unless we provide satisfactory answers to these questions, ethics has no credible status and is likely to be subsumed by psychology, history, or rational decision theory. According to Ermanno Bencivenga, this outcome is both common and regrettable. Bencivenga points to Immanuel Kant for the solution. Kant's philosophy is a sustained, bold, and successful effort aiming at offering us the answers we need. Ethics...
