Book Romancing Antiquity

    Book Details:
  • Author : George E. McCarthy
  • Publisher : Rowman & Littlefield
  • Release : 1997
  • ISBN : 9780847685295
  • Pages : 426 pages

Download or read book Romancing Antiquity written by George E. McCarthy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1997 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique and comprehensive book, George McCarthy examines the influence of Greek philosophy, literature, arts, and politics on the development of twentieth-century German social thought. McCarthy demonstrates that the classical spirit vitalized thinkers such as Weber, Heidegger, Freud, Marcuse, Arendt, Gadamer, and Habermas. With the romancing of antiquity, they transformed their understanding of the modern self, political community, and Enlightenment rationality. By viewing contemporary social theory from the framework of the classical world, McCarthy argues, we are capable of thinking beyond the limits of modernity to new possibilities of human reason, science, beauty, and social justice.

Book Existential and Ontological Dimensions of Time in Heidegger and D  gen

Download or read book Existential and Ontological Dimensions of Time in Heidegger and D gen written by Steven Heine and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1985-06-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a landmark work, Steven Heine establishes the basis and framework for philosophical dialogue between Heidegger's approach to "Being and Time" and Dogen's doctrine of "being-time." Close examination of their analysis of the true nature, structure, and meaning of time reveals critical points of convergence in the existential and ontological dimensions of their thought. Heine asserts that Heidegger and Dogen are uniquely suited for critical comparative and cross-cultural study because both attempt to overcome their respective philosophical traditions that express unacknowledged and deficient presuppositions concerning time. And both reorient our understanding of all phases of existence and experience in terms of time and temporality, death and dying, and finitude and impermanence. Heine provides new insight into Dogen's philosophy as seen in the "Uji" chapter of Dogen's Shorogenzo. The book features a new annotated translation of the "Uji" and a glossary of Japanese terms.

Book Heidegger and Authenticity

Download or read book Heidegger and Authenticity written by Mahon O'Brien and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heidegger's thinking in the decades following the publication of Being and Time is often deemed irreconcilable with that work. Critics contrast the notion of "resoluteness" in Being and Time with Heidegger's post-war account of "releasement" in an attempt to establish a discrepancy between the allegedly voluntarist humanism of his early work and the supposedly 'anti-humanist' thinking of his later work. By contrast, Mahon O'Brien argues for the structural and thematic coherence of Heidegger's movement from authenticity to the search for an authentic free relation to the world - as captured by the term "releasement". By demonstrating the structural and thematic unity of Heidegger's thought in its entirety, O'Brien paves the way for a more measured and philosophically grounded understanding of the issues at stake in the Heidegger controversy.

Book Marcuse and Freedom  RLE Social Theory

Download or read book Marcuse and Freedom RLE Social Theory written by Peter Lind and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive study of Marcuse’s thought concentrates on his theory of freedom, arguing that it is this which supplies the key to all his writings. This argument is substantiated by a detailed chronological examination of Marcuse’s works. The author shows the rigorous logic underlying Marcuse’s thinking, which is often obscured in Marcuse’s own presentation, and pays particular attention to the influence of Heidegger, and of Marx’s notion of human labour. This sympathetic reconstruction of the subject attempts to rescue Marcuse from misunderstanding and superficial criticism, and argues that Marcuse’s most famous work, One Dimensional Man, is in fact an aberration from the mainstream of his work. This book forms one of the most accessible and reliable treatments of Marcuse available.

Book Ecology and Revolution

Download or read book Ecology and Revolution written by Charles Reitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely addition to Henry Giroux’s Critical Interventions series, Ecology and Revolution is grounded in the Frankfurt School critical theory of Herbert Marcuse. Its task is to understand the economic architecture of wealth extraction that undergirds today’s intensifying inequalities of class, race, and gender, within a revolutionary ecological frame. Relying on newly discovered texts from the Frankfurt Marcuse Archive, this book builds theory and practice for an alternate world system. Ecology and radical political economy, as critical forms of systems analysis, show that an alternative world system is essential – both possible and feasible – despite political forces against it. Our rights to a commonwealth economy, politics, and culture reside in our commonworks as we express ourselves as artisans of the common good. It is in this context, that Charles Reitz develops a GreenCommonWealth Counter-Offensive, a strategy for revolutionary ecological liberation with core features of racial equality, women’s equality, liberation of labor, restoration of nature, leisure, abundance, and peace.

Book Critical Sociology

Book excerpt: Critical theory fired the imagination of students and intellectuals in Europe and the US during the later 1960s and 1970s who were looking for a critical alternative to orthodox Marxism. The readings selected for this volume include a wide range of contributions to critical theory representing three phases of development. Part I (Original Themes) presents pieces from Theodore Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse, each of whom was crucial to the formation of critical theory in the 1930s and '40s. Commentaries by specialists in this period are also included. Part II (Reassessment and Critique: Critical Theory in the Post-War World) presents the debates that accompanied the revival of interest in critical theory in the English-speaking world, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In Part III (Habermasian Critical Theory and Beyond) the articles refer to the contribution of Jurgen Habermas to critical theory as well as some of the uncertainties to which this has given rise.
