After Identity: Rethinking Race, Sex, and Gender
ISBN: 9780521882811 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Social and political theorists have traced in detail how individuals come to possess gender, sex and racial identities. This book examines the nature of these identities. Georgia Warnke argues that identities, in general, are interpretations and, as such, have more in common with textual understanding than we commonly acknowledge. A racial, sexed or gendered understanding of who we and others are is neither exhaustive of the ?meanings? we can be said to have nor uniquely correct. We are neither always, or only, black or white, men or women or males or females. Rather, all identities have a...

Kant and the Demands of Self-Consciousness
ISBN: 9780521630771 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Pierre Keller examines Kant's theory of self-consciousness and argues that it succeeds in explaining how both subjective and objective experience are possible. He argues for a new understanding of Kant's conception of self-consciousness as the capacity to abstract not only from what one happens to be experiencing, but also from one's own personal identity. By developing this new interpretation he is able to argue that transcendental self-consciousness underwrites a general theory of objectivity and subjectivity at the same time.
