Johnston M: Papers in Mind & Metaphysics

Papers in Mind & Metaphysics

We tend to think that everything important comes from the centre: from big cities, from established orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts, from the Establishment in all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so, but it's a lie. It is only at the edges that we think, innovate and thrive. This book travels to the far frontiers of the planet, and of human culture and consciousness; to the edges of continents, of evolution, of artistic and political movements, and of life itself: from a rocky precipice in the Peloponnese where the first human set foot in Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented; from St Francis, kissing lepers' sores to the giant bird-eating mice of St Kilda. Why do we stare at sunsets? Why do we celebrate birthdays and grieve for those who are gone? Why do all adventures begin when we leave and get lost? Who has the better view of reality - the Government or the dispossessed? And what happens when we live with the knowledge that we're all teetering on the edge of the dark?

At the margins of life, lands and history

The Edges of the World

The Routledge Guides to the Great Books

Aristotle is one of the most important figures in western thought and his seminal work Metaphysics is a benchmark in the history of philosophy. This guidebook introduces and assesses: Aristotle's life and the background to the Metaphysics, the ideas and text of the Metaphysics and the continuing importance and contemporary relevance of Aristotle's work to philosophy. The Routledge Guidebook to Aristotle's Metaphysics is essential reading for all students of philosophy, and anyone approaching the work of Aristotle for the first time.

Affective Modes of Being

Bloomsbury Studies in Modern German Philosophy

"This collection brings together a series of cutting-edge studies on the most significant controversies and prize essay contests of the German Enlightenment. Chapters address questions such as the condition of possibility of the debates, their institutional support and their aims, and introduce relatively unknown but key figures of the period. Set out into four parts, the essays provide new material on areas such as anthropology, the problem of language, colonialism and the origins of aesthetics for the wider study of 18th-century intellectual and philosophical life"--

The Fundamental Tendency of Our Time

There may exist something like the most unbearable of all philosophical thoughts. It is the thought of contingency and universality converging, intersecting, and being one and the same thing, approached from two different perspectives. Hardly anything is as unsettling as the insight into the absolute contingency of the emergence of universals, and the correlative realization that the only true universality is one of the contingency of everything. The goal of this book is to think this unbearable thought through to the end and face up to its most binding and disconcerting consequences. The history of science is full of theoretical unifications of two previously mutually exclusive concepts or two opposite realms (natural and unnatural motion in Galilei, terrestrial and celestial physics in Newton, man and animal in Darwin, electricity and magnetism in Maxwell, mass and energy, space and time, acceleration and gravity in Einstein, etc.). This book is based on the conjecture that what philosophy is lacking is a similar unification of the concepts of "contingency" and "universality." The book will thereby try to accomplish an operation that is implicit in the philosophy of Slavoj Zizek. In doing so, it will provide new answers to questions on the nature of contingency, necessity, predictability of the future, the validity of the laws of nature, the role of singularity in relation to universality, chaos and order, reality and truth. These answers will differ starkly from the ones advocated by contemporary philosophers such as Badiou, Meillassoux, some other speculative realists, and some analytical philosophers of science.

A New Ontology

The Contingent Universality

Examining Heidegger's thought in relation to Platonism, this book opens a dialogue between Heidegger and German Platonism that illuminates issues around aesthetics, ethics, political philosophy, and ontology. It will be of interest to scholars of ancient and European philosophy, classicists, intellectual historians, and political theorists.
