Aurelius Marcus: Meditations

Meditations

From Politics to Moral Obligation

French Ethics and the Economics of Freedom

"The question antagonism, struggle and dissensus, their place, limits and value for democracy, has divided deliberative from agonistic theories, and remains the main source of the impasse between them. This open access book seeks to break this impasse by going back to their sources in Kant and Nietzsche, and reframes them as philosophers of conflict. For both philosophers, conflict is part of the 'deep structure' of reality at all levels, and their reflections on its constitutive, constructive and destructive potentials raise fundamental questions that democratic theories ill afford to ignore. The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Dutch Research Council"--

The first, much-needed, comprehensive study of Hannah Arendt's cosmopolitanism.

State, Community, Worlds in Common

Hannah Arendt and Cosmopolitanism

Is there a human nature? Can knowledge of it help us live better lives? This book synthesises ancient and modern philosophical ideas and draws on scientific research to answer yes to both these questions. It develops an innovative normative theory on the basis of commonsensical, naturalistic, premisses; and it defends an Aristotelian normative theory -- whereby we should understand human goods as realisations or perfections of human nature -- against both traditional and emerging challenges to perfectionist ethics, including evolutionary biology and transhumanism. The result is a ground-breaking theory of 'natural perfectionism', which both returns perfectionistic ethics to its Aristotelian roots and shows how this is compatible with evolutionary biology and cognitive science. At a time when the very idea of human nature is viewed as something that can be readily transcended, this work recalls us to a realistic, sober and better-founded vision of it.

A Theory of Natural Perfectionism

Human Nature, Human Goods

Bloomsbury Studies in Continental Philosophy

Pushing against the association of Islamic philosophy with a temporal and geographical 'elsewhere', this work makes the case for a Ricoeurian hermeneutics of appropriation that revitalises Avicenna's thinking for the philosophy of today. Selami Varlik develops a precise approach to the appropriation of Avicenna, exploring the tension between being and non-being inherent in the notion of creation as crucial both to Ricoeur's hermeneutics and to the duality between essence and existence in Avicenna. Although he pays careful attention to their theological differences, Varlik identifies paths of convergence between Avicenna and Ricoeur on the levels of both form and content. In relation to form, he identifies a common language based on a shared concern with putting belief in tension with rational discourse. With regard to content, he explores similarities and divergences between the two philosophers' approaches to the concept of creation. An aspect of this is the pivotal role played by Avicenna's conception of ex nihilo creation in medieval philosophy, which Varlik interprets as indirectly influencing the distinction between origin and temporal beginning in Ricoeur. This is a vital contribution to the development of a living Islamic philosophy that skilfully navigates the tensions between the experience of the text and its conceptual dimension on the one hand and between fidelity to a philosophical tradition and semantic innovation on the other.

Creation in Ricoeur and Avicenna

The Appropriation of Islamic Philosophy

How a lifelong engagement with experimental art informed the brilliant Czech-Brazilian philosopher Vilém Flusser’s early vision of a world dominated by glowing screens. Predicting the importance of technology and images in the twenty-first century as early as the 1970s, Vilém Flusser warned, “the basic structure of our thinking is about to experience a mutation.” The bewitching images and screens that surround us could lead toward a centrally programmed, totalitarian society—or another, better one characterized by dialogue and collaboration among humans and new forms of intelligence. In this book on the idiosyncratic and prescient Czech-Brazilian philosopher, art historian and critic Martha Schwendener explores the profound effect of art on Flusser’s thought. The Society of the Screen reveals how Flusser’s lifelong engagement with experimental practices—from abstract painting and concrete poetry in Brazil to video, cybernetics, and photography in Europe and the United States—as well as his extensive involvement with the São Paulo Biennial informed his belief that we were moving from “history”—a civilization informed by linear writing—into “post-history,” dominated by technical images. The book delves deeply into how Flusser’s ideas evolved, particularly in correspondence and collaboration with artists like Mira Schendel, Fred Forest, Wen-Ying Tsai, Harun Farocki, Louis Bec, and Karl Gerstner.

Routledge Studies in Empirical Translation and Multilingual Communication

Fukuno illuminates the often-hidden journeys of individual translators and the moral, emotional and ideological complexities of their practice. It will help empower translators' moral autonomy in translation practices.Recognising and understanding translators' ethically and morally interpretive work cannot eliminate all uncertainties in inter- and cross-cultural communications, nor can it make the black box of translators' work completely transparent. However, to construct a meaningful discussion on how human translators, machine translation and people everywhere can cooperate to create a more just society, it is essential to acknowledge the diverse values, identities and practices as they are held, imagined and experienced by professional, human translators.This book will be valuable to all students and researchers of translation and intercultural communication.

Bloomsbury Ancient Comedy Companions

An introduction to Aristophanes' much-debated utopian comedy, its social, cultural, political, and theatrical contexts, and its themes and reception.

Aristophanes: Women in the Assembly

This handbook introduces Human Nature and Conduct, John Dewey's groundbreaking book about moral psychology and moral philosophy, to a new generation. In his classic work, Dewey redefined impulse, habit, and intelligence: not as isolated individual traits, but as socially conditioned factors shaping human thought and action. His ultimate insight is that growth is the only moral good, and that morality is, at its core, a matter of education. Featuring contributions by leading international scholars, this volume presents expert insights into Dewey's unique psychological framework and its far-reaching impact on moral philosophy and education. The book also tackles contemporary moral dilemmas, from environmental protection and healthcare rationing to sexual liberation and religious transformation, demonstrating how Dewey's thought remains as vital today as ever.
