Five Readers Reading

Introduction to the Transaction Edition, Preface, 1. The Question: Who Reads What How?, 2. What? A Rose for Emily, For Example, 3. How? The Experiment, 4. Who? The Five Readers, 5. The Answer: Four Principles of Literary Experience, 6. The Evidence: Sam, Saul, Shep, Sebastian, and Sandra Read Faulkner's A Rose for Emily, 7. The Terms of Subjectivity, 8. From Subjectivity to Collectivity, 9. Knowing, Appendices, Notes, Index

This is the first book to provide a sustained exploration of the philosophy of mistakes. Beginning with the distinction between mistakes and malfunction Kim Frost examines the idea that mistakes are a form of irrationality; whether there can be mistakes of sensation and emotion; the idea of mistakes as imperfect exercises of fallible powers; the seemingly paradoxical theory that mistakes seem accidental yet also explicable; and mistakes in the context of non-human animals, such as the Sphex wasp, human experience and taking responsibility for mistakes.

Mistakes are an inevitable part of human experience. We jump to conclusions, confuse one thing with another and can simply get things wrong. We make such mistakes, and in that sense we are distinctively responsible for them. In this respect, we are quite different from most other things in the natural world. This is the first book to provide a sustained exploration of the philosophy of mistakes. Beginning with the distinction between mistakes and malfunction Kim Frost examines the idea that mistakes are a form of irrationality; whether there can be mistakes of sensation and emotion; the idea of mistakes as imperfect exercises of fallible powers; the seemingly paradoxical theory that mistakes seem accidental yet also explicable; and mistakes in the context of non-human animals, such as the Sphex wasp, human experience and taking responsibility for mistakes.

Routledge Studies in Critical Realism

Through an extensive critical review of the major traditions of social theory from the perspective of social realism, this book develops the argument that social theory to date has been hamstrung by its resort to conflationary-reductive analytical modes. Deploying social realism as a tool of explanatory critique of influential sociological theories of contemporary society, such as risk, liquid modernity, reflexive modernity, and postmodernity, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of critical theory, critical realism, philosophy and sociology.

The failure of social philosophers to make sense of an object of knowledge that embodies real divisions and polarities has generated a fundamental problem of social theory: the fallacy of reductive-conflationary analytical and explanatory models in sociological research. This book seeks to define the problem of sociology as one of developing appropriate theoretical and methodological tools for describing and analysing a multi-faceted social reality. Through an extensive critical review of the major traditions of social theory from the perspective of social realism, this book develops the argument that social theory to date has been hamstrung by its resort to conflationary-reductive analytical modes. Part I presents a realist critique of the traditional rivals of holism and individualism while Part II offers a realist critique of the major paradigms of sociological elisionism. In Part III the author builds on these critiques by exploring how the ontology of social realism can sustain a robust social theory that resolves the traditional dilemmas and antinomies. Deploying this social realism as a tool of explanatory critique of influential sociological theories of contemporary society, such as risk, liquid modernity, reflexive modernity, and postmodernity, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of critical theory, critical realism, philosophy and sociology.

This book is an attempt to provide a philosophical answer to the simple question, "What is the law?" as well as address the various debates this question has spawned. Along the way, it develops a unique position within analytic jurisprudence by carefully distinguishing between a theory of the nature of a legal system and a theory of the nature of legal content (that is, of individual laws). Finally, it applies the framework established in the first part of the book to two substantive areas within legal theory: legal reasoning and international legal systems.The result is a unique introduction to the philosophy of law, one that presents and tests a theory of analytic jurisprudence, while it introduces students and others to this sub-field of philosophy. It explains and clarifies for students the views of the most significant scholars in the philosophy of law—those of H.L.A. Hart, Hans Kelsen, Joseph Raz, Ronald Dworkin, and John Finnis—and offers a critique of each. This approach should appeal to all types of philosophers--students and scholars alike--who are wary of wading into the field of legal theory as well as philosophers of law who wouldn’t find useful or interesting a mere survey of the field.

An Introduction to Collective Intentionality

Written in an engaging style for undergraduate students and general readers, Environmental Justice as Environmental Ethics: An Introduction is a new kind of primer to the study of moral problems and the natural world. It takes as its starting point the increasing awareness among researchers, activists, and others that the key ethical issues related to the use of the environment are questions of justice. It then provides a framework for systematically understanding environmental justice, exploring sustainable development, consumption, the distribution of natural resources, environmental racism, ecofeminism, and the anti-toxic movement, among other issues. The book reaches beyond the usual concerns of moral theory to engage with environmental issues where most readers find them on the ground. The result is a new kind of introduction to environmental ethics-foregrounding the importance of environmental justice and engaging students by illuminating those topics they find the most compelling, important, and relevant to their daily lives. Included in the text are teaching tools, like short descriptions of longer arguments discussed elsewhere, tips for detecting problematic reasoning, questions at the end of each chapter, and a bibliography of prominent and useful literature. A Companion Website provides links to key documents, important interviews, and videos that illuminate key parts of the book

Routledge New Religions

George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (c.1866-1949) is acknowledged as one of the most influential early teachers of a hybridised Eastern-Western esoteric spiritual tradition, and one of a few key influences on the contemporary New Age Movement and a myriad other alternative spiritualities and new religions. Positioning Gurdjieff's teachings within the field of New Religious Movements, this book examines the 'Work' (as Gurdjieff's system is commonly called), including his teachings presented in writings, music, and exercises known as 'Movements'. This critical introduction to the Gurdjieff tradition also provides an analysis of problems with unreliable sources and auto-mythology, examines major pupils and successors, and shows how the 'Work' functions in the contemporary spiritual marketplace. Offering an excellent introduction to anyone unfamiliar with Gurdjieff and his context, this book also provides further depth for scholars and an invaluable companion to literature examining Blavatsky, Steiner, Theosophy, and Anthroposophy.

Vorgestellt werden zudem prominente Meinungen und Kontroversen aus der Forschung. Ziel ist es, der Leserin grundlegendes Wissen zu vermitteln, das sie dazu befähigt, künftig Fachbeiträge zur antiken Philosophie eigenständig zu verstehen.
