Download or read book Crossfire written by Roberta Johnson and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The marriage of philosophy and fiction in the first third of Spain's twentieth century was a fertile one. It produced some truly notable offspring—novels that cross genre boundaries to find innovative forms, and treatises that fuse literature and philosophy in new ways. In her illuminating interdisciplinary study of Spanish fiction of the "Silver Age," Roberta Johnson places this important body of Spanish literature in context through a synthesis of social, literary, and philosophical history. Her examination of the work of Miguel de Unamuno, Pio Baroja, Azorin, Ramon Perez de Ayala, Juan Ramon Jimenez, Gabriel Miro, Pedro Salinas, Rosa Chacel, and Benjamin Jarnes brings to light philosophical frictions and debates and opens new interpersonal and intertextual perspectives on many of the period's most canonical novels. Johnson reformulates the traditional discussion of generations and "isms" by viewing the period as an intergenerational complex in which writers with similar philosophical and personal interests constituted dynamic groupings that interacted and constantly defined and redefined one another. Current narratological theories, including those of Todorov, Genette, Bakhtin, and Martinez Bonati, assist in teasing out the intertextual maneuvers and philosophical conflicts embedded in the novels of the period, while the sociological and biographical material bridges the philosophical and literary analyses. The result, solidly grounded in original archival research, is a convincingly complete picture of Spain's intellectual world in the first thirty years of this century. Crossfire should revolutionize thinking about the Generation of '98 and the Generation of '14 by identifying the heterogeneous philosophical sources of each and the writers' reactions to them in fiction.

Download or read book Critica de la Razon Pura written by Immanuel Kant and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Cr�tica de la raz�n pura (en alem�n: Kritik der reinen Vernunft) es la obra principal del fil�sofo prusiano Immanuel Kant Tuvo su primera edici�n en 1781. El propio Kant lleg� a corregirla, publicando en 1787 una segunda edici�n. En las publicaciones habituales de la obra son presentadas ambas ediciones simult�neamente, conocidas respectivamente como A y B. Se trata de una indagaci�n trascendental (acerca de las condiciones epist�micas del conocer humano) cuyo objetivo central es lograr una respuesta definitiva sobre si la metaf�sica puede ser considerada una ciencia. En esta obra, Kant intenta la conjunci�n de racionalismo y empirismo, haciendo una cr�tica de las dos corrientes filos�ficas que se centraban en el objeto como fuente de conocimiento, y as�, dando un giro copernicano al modo de concebir la filosof�a, estudiando al sujeto como la fuente que construye el conocimiento. En s�ntesis, La Cr�tica de la raz�n pura es una obra clave de la filosof�a moderna, que inaugura lo que Kant denomina idealismo trascendental. Entre las resistencias que encontr� la obra se puede citar que P�o VIII, antes de llegar a papa cat�lico, como prefecto de la Congregaci�n del �ndice prohibi� bajo amenaza de excomuni�n la lectura de la Cr�tica de la raz�n pura (decreto del 8 de julio de 1827). Kant, a quien tambi�n le fue ordenado no volver a publicar m�s sobre temas de teolog�a,5 ya hab�a previsto situaciones de este tipo cuando en el mismo pr�logo de la Cr�tica se�ala lo siguiente, pese a que era un cristiano convencido: "Todo ha de someterse a la cr�tica. Pero la religi�n y la legislaci�n pretenden de ordinario escapar a la misma. La religi�n a causa de su santidad, y la legislaci�n a causa de su majestad. Sin embargo, al hacerlo, despiertan contra s� mismas sospechas justificadas y no pueden exigir un respeto sincero, respeto que la raz�n s�lo concede a lo que es capaz de resistir su examen libre y p�blico." Absolutamente es una obra de lectura obligatoria para entender las claves de la filosof�a moderna.
Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Crítica de la razón pura (en alemán: Kritik der reinen Vernunft) es la obra principal del filósofo prusiano Immanuel Kant. Tuvo su primera edición en 1781. El propio Kant llegó a corregirla, publicando en 1787 una segunda edición. Se trata de una indagación trascendental (acerca de las condiciones epistémicas del conocer humano) cuyo objetivo central es lograr una respuesta definitiva sobre si la metafísica puede ser considerada una ciencia. Entre otras cosas, Kant intenta superar la crítica al fundamento epistemológico del principio de causalidad (y por lo tanto al saber científico) que había hecho David Hume, que no tenía una respuesta satisfactoria hasta su época.En esta obra, Kant intenta la conjunción de racionalismo y empirismo, haciendo una crítica de las dos corrientes filosóficas que se centraban en el objeto como fuente de conocimiento, y así, dando un giro al modo de concebir la filosofía, estudiando el sujeto como la fuente que construye el conocimiento del objeto, a través de la representación que el sujeto, mediante la sensibilidad inherente a su naturaleza toma del objeto. El propósito de este libro puede resumirse en una frase: la metafísica es una campo de batalla que requiere ser ordenado; por esto es que Kant propone dar un nuevo status a la razón y nuevos contornos al entendimiento.
Download or read book Utopias in Latin America written by Juan Pro and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America has historically been a fertile ground where utopian projects, movements, and experiments could take root and thrive. Each of the thirteen authors in this collective volume address a particular case or specific aspect of Latin American utopianism from colonial times to the present day. The America that the Spanish and Portuguese discovered became, from the sixteenth century onwards, a space in which it was possible to imagine the widest variety of forms of human coexistence. Utopias in Latin America reconsiders the sense and understanding of utopias in various historical frames: the discovery of indigenous cultures and their natural environments; the foundation of new towns and cities in a vast colonial territory; the experimental communities of nineteenth-century utopian socialists and European exiled intellectuals; and the innovative formulae that attempts to get beyond twentieth-century capitalism.

Trata sobre su filosofía de la moral, y continúa en la línea de la Crítica de la razón pura. Este ensayo no es sólo una extraordinaria realización filosófica; es también una de las cumbres de la humanidad, uno de los instantes en que el ser humano se ha elevado a mayor altura, mediante el claro reconocimiento y la vigorosa afirmación de la soberanía del espíritu.

Download or read book Emotion and the Arts written by Mette Hjort and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-09-04 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only work of its kind, this exciting collection assembles a number of analytically minded philosophers, psychologists, and literary theorists, all of whom seek to provide fine-grained accounts of critical problems having to do with emotion and art. How best to explain emotions produced by works of art? What goes on when we feel emotion for an abstract art such as music? How is it that we can intelligibly feel emotion for persons and situations that we know are fictional? What is involved in our empathic experience of negative emotion through the art of tragedy? A strongly interdisciplinary volume that captures the richness of current debates about the role of agency in human emotional response, this collection also considers the influence of culture on emotion and demonstrates that cognitivist and social- constructivist perspectives need not be antagonistic and may actually work together in a complementary way. Essays cluster under four rubrics--"The Paradox of Fiction", "Emotion and its Expression through Art", "The Rationality of Emotional Responses to Art", and "The Value of Emotion"--and together they address questions of emotion in film, painting, music, dance, literature, and theater. With new work by leading thinkers in the field of aesthetics, and drawing upon state of the art scholarship from areas such as cognitive science, literary studies, and contemporary ethics, Emotion and the Arts is essential reading for those who study aesthetics, literature, theories of emotion, and the mind.

Download or read book Baron de Vastey and the Origins of Black Atlantic Humanism written by Marlene L. Daut and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the influential life and works of the Haitian political writer and statesman, Baron de Vastey (1781-1820), in this book Marlene L. Daut examines the legacy of Vastey’s extensive writings as a form of what she calls black Atlantic humanism, a discourse devoted to attacking the enlightenment foundations of colonialism. Daut argues that Vastey, the most important secretary of Haiti’s King Henry Christophe, was a pioneer in a tradition of deconstructing colonial racism and colonial slavery that is much more closely associated with twentieth-century writers like W.E.B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire. By expertly forging exciting new historical and theoretical connections among Vastey and these later twentieth-century writers, as well as eighteenth- and nineteenth-century black Atlantic authors, such as Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, Daut proves that any understanding of the genesis of Afro-diasporic thought must include Haiti’s Baron de Vastey.
