This book explores the role of modesty in the thought of Albert Camus.
 Camusian modesty – 
 modestie
 – affirms, against nihilism and absolutism, the necessity of taking care and putting passion into the relativity of human creation and recreation. The book shows how this care and passion spring from the necessity of a continually renewed tension between the self and the limits which transcend the self. From this standpoint, modesty is not a form of moderation; it goes to the root of human condition in face of the absurd. It is a radical attitude which engages&nbsp;human life in a daily struggle for meaning.
 With modesty in mind, Camus reimagined the relation between meaning and absurdity, history and nature, self and other, nation state and continent, global north and south, and war and peace. In a world of arrogance, narcissism, and fear, &nbsp;Camus’ philosophical and political insights are fundamental in order to re-think and re-imagine our present.Tommaso Visone
 is Associate Professor of History of Political Doctrines at Link University and Adjunct Professor of Political Thought for Colonization and Decolonization at Sapienza University of Rome. He is also Research Fellow at the Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies of CNR (National Council of Research), Rome.

Noch ahnt Zoé nichts von Kas' Gründen, doch schon bald muss sie erkennen, dass es hier um weitaus mehr geht als ihr eigenes Leben. Das Geheimnis von Xanthia wird gelüftet und die Existenz aller Xathyr bedroht. Hielt Zoé Kas für den Bösewicht ihrer Geschichte, so muss sie sich nun eingestehen, dass sie nicht länger weiß, wer Freund und wer Feind ist. Erst recht nicht, als Alexei mit einer Information herausrückt, die alles verändert. Von beiden Männern, denen sie einst vertraute, verraten, bleibt Zoé nichts anderes übrig, als sich mit ihnen zu verbünden, um sich ihrem gemeinsamen Schicksal zu stellen.

Empire of Sins and Souls 3 - Das zerrissene Herz

This book develops a subjectivist account of meaning in life and argues that meaning or its absence can only be judged by the way we feel about our lives.Against many philosophers who consider that a life can only be meaningful if it ‘makes a difference’ and contributes something important, this book contends that meaningfulness is not an objective quality of lives, nor is it in some way dependent on such a quality. Meaning is not like truth, which is commonly thought to be an objective quality of propositions. A person cannot feel their life to be meaningful, while in fact it is not, because meaning does not depend on the presence of certain features without which no life can be rightly considered meaningful. The book therefore concludes that many people live a meaningful life. Meaning is not the prerogative of an elite minority.This book will be essential reading for philosophers and postgraduate students researching the meaning of life and is also suitable for use in teaching on philosophy courses at university level.Michael Hauskeller is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Liverpool, and has been Head of the Department of Philosophy since January 2018. Professor Hauskeller has published three previous books with Palgrave Macmillan: Sex and the Posthuman Condition (2014), The Palgrave Handbook of Posthumanism in Film and Television (ed., 2015), and Mythologies of Transhumanism (2016).

5 proven life strategies to win in relationships

Win Some

There has been a steady stream of articles written on the relations between conceptions of meaning and the interpretation of literature, but there remains a need for a book that both introduces and significantly contributes to an elucidation and understanding of the ways that voice and tone contribute to the determination of meaning. Only rarely have considerations of voice been brought together with considerations of meaning-determination (the work of Stanley Cavell, covered in one section of this book, is a leading example). This volume thus offers an analytically acute and culturally rich way of understanding how it is that we can productively think philosophically about meaning in language and literature in a more inclusive, expansive, and indeed human way. Garry L.&nbsp;Hagberg&nbsp;is the James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at Bard College; his most recent book is&nbsp;Living in Words: Literature, Autobiographical Language, and the Composition of Selfhood&nbsp;(2023).

Philosophical Aspects

Literature, Voice, Meaning

This book presents philosophy as a historical series of answers to two questions: the meaning&nbsp;question (what does it all mean?)&nbsp;and the reality&nbsp;question (what is real rather than illusory?).&nbsp;Presenting philosophy as a historical series of answers to these two questions gives a new view of philosophy. It reveals a coherence between the disparate problems of philosophy which is not apparent when philosophy is approached in a systematic and timeless manner. 
On the basis of this historical approach, the book argues that philosophy was initially concerned primarily with the nature of reality but changed its focus when science was established as a separate discipline in the 17th century. Philosophy’s main concern is now the meaning question with a focus on questions of value as discussed in moral and political philosophy and in aesthetics. 
This book is essential reading for all scholars and researchers in philosophy and especially those interested in the history of philosophy. Ulrich&nbsp;Steinvorth&nbsp;is a Professor Emeritus of the University of Hamburg, Germany. He has published books and papers in German, English and French, in political philosophy, ethics, and metaphysics, and has taught philosophy at universities in Germany, France, Turkey, Japan and China.

Two Basic Questions

A Brief Presentation of Philosophy and Its History

We tend to think of ourselves&nbsp;using&nbsp;language. What if we thought instead about language&nbsp;working on us,&nbsp;or about language as something we&nbsp;experience&nbsp;rather than&nbsp;make use of? This book explores the generative capacities of language, suggesting that we need to pay much greater attention to the meaning-making capabilities,&nbsp;and political and moral implications, of more intangible aspects of language: atmosphere, mood, texture, the mode-of-being a use of language carries&nbsp;—&nbsp;and not only carries, but gives off, sends into both its reader and writer. Advancing an interpretation of language as fundamentally attitudinal and creative,&nbsp;Experiencing Ways Through Words&nbsp;explores&nbsp;literature&nbsp;in the light of such thinking, claiming that&nbsp;properties we tend to sideline as ‘aesthetic’ are profoundly constitutive of a text’s capacity for significance.‘In this rich and intricately argued book, full of literary and philosophical instances, Abdeni-Holman explores the ways in which imaginative language discovers and sustains relationship with the human world. At its centre is a brilliant and sympathetic re-reading of the work of F.R. Leavis -- not as the heavy moralist of popular reputation, but rather as a deft celebrant of the “engagement, thoughtfulness, attention” which this splendid work identifies as&nbsp;the heart of the readerly encounter. An absorbing and championing piece of writing.’&nbsp;— Seamus Perry, Balliol College, Oxford‘The many attractions of this remarkable book include its patient attention to complexity and its refusal (and exposure) of loaded binary oppositions.&nbsp;&nbsp;It invites us to think of literature as offering “connections, echoes, beckonings, gestures”, and indeed on occasion practical advice.&nbsp;&nbsp;Except that the advice doesn't look like advice, and it may arrive rather slowly. The book's many facetted claim is in already in its title.&nbsp;&nbsp;Literature is words at work, and to read literature is to benefit from that work and to live with it.’ — Michael Wood, Princeton University'A wonderfully engaging and insightful book on what John Henry Newman once called the two-fold Logos.&nbsp;Experiencing Ways Through Words&nbsp;conjures brilliantly with the paradoxical question of&nbsp;how thought and word may be distinct and yet inseparable from each other, bound together through the aesthetic as well as the semantic elements of language that define the reader’s experience.’&nbsp; — Michael D. Hurley, Trinity College, Cambridge&nbsp;&nbsp;Emily Abdeni-Holman is a British-Lebanese writer. She read for her doctorate at the University of Oxford and has held postdoctoral fellowships in Jerusalem, Beirut, and Oxford.

Digitale Gesellschaft

Wie entsteht Sinn in einer Welt voller digitaler Technologien? David J. Krieger schlägt eine neue Informationsphilosophie als Grundlage für eine Revision des Pragmatismus vor. Dazu verbindet er ihn mit Systemtheorie, Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie und Posthumanismus: Sinn entsteht aus normativ geleiteten sozialen Praktiken, Sinn ist eine emergente Ordnungsebene jenseits von Materie und Leben und umfasst alles, was zur Gesellschaft und zur Welt gehört, und an den sozialen Praktiken, die Sinn konstruieren, sind Menschen und Nichtmenschen gleichberechtigt beteiligt. Die Normen, die die sinnkonstituierenden sozialen Praktiken leiten, lassen sich dabei aus den Affordanzen digitaler Technologien ableiten.&nbsp;
