Download or read book Pragmatist Aesthetics written by Richard Shusterman and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2000-02-22 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This much acclaimed book has emerged as neo-pragmatism's most significant contribution to contemporary aesthetics. By articulating a deeply embodied notion of aesthetic experience and the art of living, and by providing a compellingly rigorous defense of popular art—crowned by a pioneer study of hip hop—Richard Shusterman reorients aesthetics towards a fresher, more relevant, and socially progressive agenda. The second edition contains an introduction where Shusterman responds to his critics, and it concludes with an added chapter that formulates his novel notion of somaesthetics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary culture increasingly suffers from problems of attention, over-stimulation, and stress, and a variety of personal and social discontents generated by deceptive body images. This book argues that improved body consciousness can relieve these problems and enhance one's knowledge, performance, and pleasure. The body is our basic medium of perception and action, but focused attention to its feelings and movements has long been criticised as a damaging distraction that also ethically corrupts through self-absorption. In Body Consciousness, Richard Shusterman refutes such charges by engaging the most influential twentieth-century somatic philosophers and incorporating insights from both Western and Asian disciplines of body-mind awareness. Rather than rehashing intractable ontological debates on the mind-body relation, Shusterman reorients study of this crucial nexus towards a more fruitful, pragmatic direction that reinforces important but neglected connections between philosophy of mind, ethics, politics, and the pervasive aesthetic dimensions of everyday life.

Download or read book Membres d un m me corps written by Isabelle de La Garanderie and published by Artège Editions. This book was released on 2022-10-19 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avouons-le : nous avons souvent bien du mal à nous considérer comme membres du Corps du Christ. Cela d'autant plus lorsque nos assemblées dominicales sont dispersées par les restrictions sanitaires ou que les scandales de l'Église mettent en lumière les fautes insupportables de certains d'entre nous. C'est donc qu'il nous faut apprendre à porter sur cette réalité un regard de foi, d'espérance et de charité.Lorsque nous méditons sur le « corps mystique », notre conscience d'y appartenir est renouvelée, avec de nombreuses conséquences sur les plans éthique, politique, écologique et eschatologique. Savoir que nous sommes appelés, dans le prolongement de la messe et de la communion eucharistique, à ne former qu'un seul corps bouscule nos existences : cela nous pousse à lutter contre l'individualisme, à mieux comprendre l'Église comme une communion hiérarchique sans cléricalisme, mais avec une vraie diversité de ministères, à approfondir le dialogue oecuménique, à faire corps dans la société, à nous savoir gardiens de la création et appelés, ultimement, à l'unité en Dieu.Convoquant l'histoire du salut, le magistère de Pie XII à Lumen gentium et les grands théologiens contemporains du mystère de l'Église comme Henri de Lubac ou Jean-Marie Tillard, Isabelle de La Garanderie nous propose d'entrer dans l'intelligence et la contemplation du Corps du Christ, pour mieux vivre son unité. Isabelle Payen de La Garanderie, née en 1985, est vierge consacrée du diocèse de Nanterre. Agrégée de lettres modernes, licenciée en théologie dogmatique (Centre Sèvres - Facultés jésuites de Paris) et actuellement doctorante en théologie, elle enseigne aussi dans un lycée d'éducation prioritaire en banlieue parisienne.
