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...

In recent years interest in the thought of Kierkegaard has grown dramatically, and with it the body of secondary literature has expanded so quickly that it has become impossible for even the most conscientious scholar to keep pace. The problem of the explosion of secondary literature is made more acute by the fact that much of what is written about Kierkegaard appears in languages that most Kierkegaard scholars do not know. Kierkegaard has become a global phenomenon, and new research traditions have emerged in different languages, countries, and regions.

In the past two decades, the "movement" of deconstruction has bad tremendous impact on a number of academic, disciplines in the United States. However, its force has been rather limited in the field of philosophy, despite the fact that in Europe the practice of deconstruction emerged in the work of philosophers. Although the...

William Moreira doesn't appreciate hearing the theories of geniuses like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Their ideas make him feel like he's back in kindergarten listening to big-mouthed kids calling attention to themselves while mocking others. Instead of trying to solve real problems, these kids are spreading crazy ideas.

These geniuses should stop thinking about reaching places billions of light years away so they can focus on critical, daily-bread problems, and the calamities that could befall us today that might prevent a tomorrow.

Instead, we must contend...

In this book, Alison Ross engages in a detailed study of Walter Benjamin s concept of the image, exploring the significant shifts in Benjamin s approach to the topic over the course of his career. Using Kant s treatment of the topic of sensuous form in his aesthetics as a comparative reference, Ross argues that Benjamin s thinking on the image undergoes a major shift between his 1924 essay on Goethe s "Elective Affinities," and his work on "The Arcades Project" from 1927 up until his death in 1940." "The two periods of Benjamin s writing share a conception of the image as a potent sensuous...
