Both Hegel's philosophy and psychoanalytic theory have profoundly influenced contemporary thought, but they are traditionally seen to work in separate rather than intersecting universes. This book offers a new interpretation of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and brings it into conversation the work of two of the best-known contemporary psychoanalysts, Christopher Bollas and Andre Green. Hegel and Psychoanalysis centers a consideration of the Phenomenology on the figure of the Unhappy Consciousness and the concept of Force, two areas that are often overlooked by studies which focus on the...

John Stuart Mill considered his A System of Logic the methodological foundation and intellectual groundwork for his later works in ethical, social, and political theory. Yet no book has attempted in the past to engage with all the intricate aspects of Mill's Logic. This volume brings together leading Mill scholars to elucidate the key themes of this important work, looking at such topics as his theory of names, philosophical necessity, his discussion on fallacies, ethology and psychology, philosophical method, and the Art of Life.

This book presents a systematic interpretation of Charles S. Peirce's work based on a Kantian understanding of his teleological account of thought and inquiry. Departing from readings that contrast Peirce's treatment of purpose, end, and teleology with his early studies of Kant, Gabriele Gava instead argues that focusing on Peirce's purposefulness as a necessary regulative (in the Kantian sense) condition for inquiry and semiotic processes allows for a transcendental interpretation of Peirce's philosophical project. The author advances this interpretation through presenting original views on...

While the current philosophical debate surrounding Hegel's aesthetics focuses heavily on the philosopher's controversial 'end of art' thesis, its participants rarely give attention to Hegel's ideas on the nature of beauty and its relation to art. This study seeks to remedy this oversight by placing Hegel's views on beauty front and center. Peters asks us to rethink the common assumption that Hegelian beauty is exclusive to art and argues that for Hegel beauty, like art, is subject to historical development. Her careful analysis of Hegel's notion of beauty not only has crucial implications...

Hegel s Philosophical Psychology draws attention to a largely overlooked piece of Hegel s philosophy: his substantial and philosophically rich treatment of psychology at the end of the "Philosophy of Subjective Spirit," which itself belongs to his main work, the "Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences." This volume makes the case that Hegel s approach to philosophy of mind as developed within this text can make an important contribution to current discussions about mind and subjectivity, and can help clarify the notion of spirit ("Geist") within Hegel s larger philosophical project....

With his "An Interpretation of Nietzsche s "On the Uses and Disadvantage of History for Life,"" Anthony K. Jensen shows how 'timely' Nietzsche s second "Untimely Meditation" really is. This comprehensive and insightful study contextualizes and analyzes a wide range of Nietzsche s earlier thoughts about history: teleology, typology, psychology, memory, classical philology, Hegelianism, and the role historiography plays in modern culture. "On the Uses and Disadvantages of History for Life" is shown to be a timely work, too, insofar as it weaves together a number of Nietzsche's most important...
