Book Wilhelm Dilthey  Selected Works  Volume III

Download or read book Wilhelm Dilthey Selected Works Volume III written by Wilhelm Dilthey and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-10 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides Dilthey's most mature and best formulation of his Critique of Historical Reason. It begins with three "Studies Toward the Foundation of the Human Sciences," in which Dilthey refashions Husserlian concepts to describe the basic structures of consciousness relevant to historical understanding. The volume next presents the major 1910 work The Formation of the Historical World in the Human Sciences. Here Dilthey considers the degree to which carriers of history--individuals, cultures, institutions, and communities--can be articulated as productive systems capable of generating value and meaning and of realizing purposes. Hegel's idea of objective spirit is reconceived in a more empirical form to designate the medium of commonality in which historical beings are immersed. Any universal claims about history need to be framed within the specific productive systems analyzed by the various human sciences. Dilthey's drafts for the Continuation of the Formation contain extensive discussions of the categories most important for our knowledge of historical life: meaning, value, purpose, time, and development. He also examines the contributions of autobiography to historical understanding and of biography to scientific history. The finest summary of Dilthey's views on hermeneutics can be found in "The Understanding of Other Persons and Their Manifestations of Life." Here, Dilthey differentiates understanding relative to three kinds of manifestations of life. After giving his analysis of elementary understanding, he examines the role of induction in higher understanding and interpretation, and the relevance of transposition and re-experiencing for grasping individuality.

Book The Complete Works of Rosa Luxemburg Volume III

Download or read book The Complete Works of Rosa Luxemburg Volume III written by Rosa Luxemburg and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosa Luxemburg's corruscating politics texts on the 1905 Revolution This collection is the first of three volumes of the Complete Works devoted to the central theme of Rosa Luxemburg’s life and work—revolution. Spanning the years 1897 to the end of 1905, they contain speeches, articles, and essays on the strikes, protests, and political debates that culminated in the 1905 Russian Revolution—one of the most important social upheavals of modern times. Luxemburg’s near-daily articles and reports during 1905 on the ongoing revolution (which comprises the bulk of this volume) shed new light on such issues as the relation of spontaneity and organization, the role of national minorities in social revolution, and the inseparability of the struggle for socialism from revolutionary democracy. We become witness to Luxemburg’s effort to respond to the impulses, challenges, and ideas arising from a living revolutionary process, which in turn becomes the source of much of her subsequent political theory—such as her writings on the mass strike, her strident internationalism, and her insistence that revolutionary struggle never take its eyes off of the need to transform the human personality. Virtually all of these writings appear in English for the first time (translated from both German and Polish) and many have only recently been identified as having been written by Luxemburg.

Book Introduction to the Human Sciences

Download or read book Introduction to the Human Sciences written by Wilhelm Dilthey and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some two centuries, scholars have wrestled with questions regarding the nature and logic of history as a discipline and, more broadly, with the entire complex of the "human sciences, " with include theology, philosophy, history, literature, the fine arts, and languages. The fundamental issue is whether the human sciences are a special class of studies with a specifically distinct object and method or whether they must be subsumed under the natural sciences. German philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey dedicated the bulk of his long career to there and related questions. His Introduction to the Human Sciences is a pioneering effort to elaborate a general theory of the human sciences, especially history, and to distinguish these sciences radically from the field of natural sciences. Though the Introduction was never completed, it remains one of the major statements of the topic. Together with other works by Dilthey, it has had a substantial influence on the recognition and human sciences as a fundamental division of human knowledge and on their separation from the natural sciences in origin, nature, and method. As a contribution to the issue of the methodologies of the humanities and social sciences, the Introduction rightly claims a place. This is the first time the entire work is available in English. In his introductory essay, translator Ramon J. Betanzos surveys Dilthey's life and thought and hails his efforts to create a foundational science for the particular human sciences, and at the same time, takes serious issue with Dilthey's historical/critical evaluation of metaphysics.

Book Collected Works of Velimir Khlebnikov  Letters and theoretical writings

Download or read book Collected Works of Velimir Khlebnikov Letters and theoretical writings written by Велимир Хлебников and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubbed by his fellow Futurists the "King of Time," Velimir Khlebnikov (1885-1922) spent his entire brief life searching for a new poetic language to express his convictions about the rhythm of history, the correspondence between human behavior and the "language of the stars." The result was a vast body of poetry and prose that has been called hermetic, incomprehensible, even deranged. Of all this tragic generation of Russian poets (including Blok, Esenin, and Mayakovsky), Khlebnikov has been perhaps the most praised and the more censured. This first volume of the Collected Works, an edition sponsored by the Dia Art Foundation, will do much to establish the counterimage of Khlebnikov as an honest, serious writer. The 117 letters published here for the first time in English reveal an ebullient, humane, impractical, but deliberate working artist. We read of the continuing involvement with his family throughout his vagabond life (pleas to his smartest sister, Vera, to break out of the mold, pleas to his scholarly father not to condemn and to send a warm overcoat); the naive pleasure he took in being applauded by other artists; his insistence that a young girl's simple verses be included in one of the typically outrageous Futurist publications of the time; his jealous fury at the appearance in Moscow of the Italian Futurist Marinetti; a first draft of his famous zoo poem ("O Garden of Animals!"); his seriocomic but ultimately shattering efforts to be released from army service; his inexhaustibly courageous confrontation with his own disease and excruciating poverty; and always his deadly earnest attempt to make sense of numbers, language, suffering, politics, and the exigencies of publication. The theoretical writings presented here are even more important than the letters to an understanding of Khlebnikov's creative output. In the scientific articles written before 1910, we discern foreshadowings of major patterns of later poetic work. In the pan-Slavic proclamations of 1908-1914, we find explicit connections between cultural roots and linguistic ramifications. In the semantic excursuses beginning in 1915, we can see Khlebnikov's experiments with consonants, nouns, and definitions spelled out in accessible, if arid, form. The essays of 1916-1922 take us into the future of Planet Earth, visions of universal order and accomplishment that no longer seem so farfetched but indeed resonate for modern readers.

Book Selected Works of D T  Suzuki  Volume IV

Download or read book Selected Works of D T Suzuki Volume IV written by Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daisetsu Teitar? ̄ Suzuki was a key figure in the introduction of Buddhism to the non-Asian world. Many outside Japan encountered Buddhism for the first time through his writings and teaching, and for nearly a century his work and legacy have contributed to the ongoing religious and cultural interchange between Japan and the rest of the world, particularly the United States and Europe. This fourth volume of Selected Works of D. T. Suzuki brings together a range of Suzuki’s writings in the area of Buddhist studies. Based on his text-critical work in the Chinese canon, these essays reflect his commitment to clarifying Mahayana Buddhist doctrines in Indian, Chinese, and Japanese historical contexts. Many of these innovative writings reflect Buddhological discourse in contemporary Japan and the West’s pre-war ignorance of Mahayana thought. Included is a translation into English for the first time of his "Mahayana Was Not Preached by Buddha." In addition to editing the essays and contributing the translation, Mark L. Blum presents an introduction that examines how Suzuki understood Mahayana discourse via Chinese sources and analyzes his problematic use of Sanskrit.

Download or read book Mao Zedong written by Mao Zedong and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Works of Mao Zedong is a multi-book collection of every writing Mao Zedong produced, from the directions he gave his troops and party members to the letters and commentary he wrote before and during his time as Chair of the Chinese Communist Party. I decided to put this series together when I realized no-one has attempted to make a "complete works" series, most books only cover selected works and leave out the more mundane writings, especially those pertaining to party direction and observations. I've also included any speeches and interviews that Mao had with local and international press. The entirety of these writings are available online but if you're anything like me you want a physical book, not only because of the unparalleled feeling of having a physical book but also for the ability to highlight and write notes in the margins. The Third Volume covers the years between 1938 and 1941 . I initially hoped to include all the writings in a single book but publishing restraints and the sheer multitude of writings and speeches limited my options. I hope that this book finds you well and that it can be useful in better understanding one of the most impactful leaders of the 20th century. Works included in this volume: On Protracted War The Role Of The Chinese Communist Party In The National War The Question Of Independence And Initiative Within The United Front We Are For Roosevelt And Against Chamberlain The May Fourth Movement The Orientation Of The Youth Movement To Be Attacked By The Enemy Is Not A Bad Thing But A Good Thing Oppose Capitulationist Activity The Reactionaries Must Be Punished Interview With A New China Daily Correspondent On The New International Situation The Second Imperialist War Interview with Three Correspondents From The Central News Agency The Identity Of Interests Between The Soviet Union And All Mankind Introducing The Communist Youth Needs Experiance The Current Situation And The Party's Tasks Recruit Large Numbers Of Intellectuals The Chinese Revolution And the Chinese Communist Party Stalin, Friend Of The Chinese People In Memory Of Norman Bethune Overcome The Danger Of Capitulation And Strive For A Turn For The Better Unite All Anti-Japanese Forces And Combat The Anti-Communist Die-Hards Ten Demands On The Kuomintang Introducing The Chinese Worker We Must Stress Unity And Progress New-Democratic Constitutional Government On The Question Of Political Power In The Anti-Japanese Base Areas Current Problems Of Tactics In The Anti-Japanese United Front Freely Expand The Anti-Japanese Forces And Resist The Onslaughts Of The Anti Communist Die-Hards Unity To The Very End On Policy Order And Statement On The Southern Anhwei Incident The Situation After The Repulse Of The Second Anti-Communist Onslaught Conclusions On The Repulse Of The Second Anti-Communist Onslaught
