The Sensual Philosophy offers a richly illuminating reading of James Joyce's canon, placing his texts in the context of the medieval mystical tradition that had influenced and interested Joyce since his school days. In exploring Joyce's indebtedness to the artistic and theological culture of the Middle Ages, Colleen Jaurretche also identifies the origins of modernist aesthetics in medieval forms of representation. Jaurretche follows the imprint of the "negative" mystical tradition--which seeks to surmount all human categories and sensations so as to encounter the divine--from its beginnings in the writings of Dionysius the Areopagite through its culmination in the sixteenth-century writings of St. John of the Cross. Joyce sees these ideas, she notes, in the intellectual tradition of late Victorian and early Modern writers, such as William Blake, Walter Pater, Francis Thompson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Oscar Wilde, and W. B. Yeats. She traces the development of Joyce's mystical aesthetic through a critical examination of his novels, culminating in the supreme negative mystical aestheticism of Finnegans Wake.

Almost since their publication, the writings of Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) have provided rich fodder for the work of scholars in myriad disciplines. Philosophers have considered Montaigne's views on skepticism; historians have examined his views on the Indians; deconstructionists and literary scholars have examined Montaigne's view of the self; and, political scientists have touched on his arguments for toleration. However, because each of these projects has been done largely in isolation, most scholars have failed to see the relationships between the various aspects of Montaigne's thought. Alan Levine, in Sensual Philosophy, unites Montaigne's thought for the first time, ably and convincingly demonstrating the significant role Montaigne played in establishing the liberal ethos in the West. In exploring Montaigne's grounding for liberalism, Levine considers Montaigne's conceptualization of skepticism and its relationship to toleration. He argues that Montaigne's theories of self ground his idea of toleration without leaving it open to the corrosive charges of relativism and nihilism. Levine also articulates the importance of Montaigne's thought for contemporary conceptions of personal freedom, individuality, subjectivity, and self-creation by bringing him into dialogue with modern and postmodern political theorists such as Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Richard Rorty. This lively book persuades those who might be tempted by postmodernism that they should turn to Montaigne instead.

Principles Of The Philosophy Of The Future written by Ludwig Feuerbach and has been published by Dasein this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2024-05-09 with Philosophy categories.

Here in Grundsätze der Philosophie der Zukunft Feuerbach argues that the future of philosophy lies in a new understanding of humanity as the center of all things and the ultimate source of meaning and value, broadly criticizing traditional Continental metaphysics (primarily Kantian and Hegelian Metaphysics), which he believes has been a dominant force in philosophy for too long. He argues that traditional metaphysics has failed to understand the true nature of reality and has instead focused on abstract concepts and ideas that have little bearing on human experience. Similar to Preliminary Theses on the Reform of Philosophy, this work represents Feuerbach’s attempt to move away from Hegelian philosophy and establish a new, sensualistic philosophy. Although he did not fully develop these principles, they introduced themes that would later be expanded upon by other thinkers. This work is heavily reflective of Kantianism, hence the title. Feuerbach’s “anthropological materialism” reconceives ontology as intersubjective praxis, influencing Buber’s I-Thou relationality and Levinas’ ethics of alterity. His insistence on philosophy’s ethical mandate anticipates 20th-century existentialism. The text’s critique of Kantian noumena—as epistemologically vacuous—resonates with logical positivism’s rejection of metaphysics. Yet Feuerbach’s retention of human essence as a normative category contrasts with Vienna Circle’s anti-essentialism. The work’s titular “future” philosophy prefigures critical theory’s utopian impulse, particularly Marcuse’s synthesis of Marx and Freud to envision non-repressive social relations. This modern, accessible translation of Ludwig Feuerbach's seminal work brings new clarity to his dense and incredibly specific philosophical prose, offering contemporary readers a fresh lens on one of the key thinkers of 19th-century philosophy. More than just a translation, this edition includes carefully curated extra materials designed to clarify Feuerbach’s unique place in the genealogy of ideology and relevance today. A fresh Afterword focuses on Karl Marx’s critical engagement with Feuerbach’s ideas, revealing the pivotal role Feuerbach played in shaping Marxist thought. Also included is a detailed timeline of Feuerbach’s life and works, as well as a helpful glossary of philosophical terms, making this volume an essential resource for students, scholars, and curious readers alike.
