Download or read book The Totality of Nature written by John O'Loughlin and published by Centretruths Digital Media. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE TOTALITY OF NATURE is comprised of some twenty cycles of aphoristic philosophy with titles ranging from the arguably banal 'Cause and Effect' to the rather more cryptic 'Paradigmatic Triplicities', as well as a number of the by-now familiar dichotomous titles like 'Blessed and Cursed vis-a-vis Saved and Damned', all of which, as before, supplement or complement the Elemental theories which are at the roots of John O'Loughlin's philosophy and which stretch logic, and therefore a conception of nature, into a fourfold structure that becomes the basis of subsequent enrichment and/or embellishment.
Download or read book The Totality of Nature written by John O'Loughlin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each time John O'Loughlin writes a new book it is as though it were the literary equivalent of a music CD, with a number of titles that, by and large, are independent of each other and encourage the reader to proceed from one subject to another in what is almost invariably a cyclical progression, thereby achieving a degree of metaphysical credibility. In this particular project there are some twenty cycles, all of which are self-sufficient and yet also interrelated in what becomes a bigger picture of an overall philosophy stretching ever further onwards in the quest for ultimate truth and, hence, metaphysical perfection. We needn't elaborate on any of the subjects here, because most of them will have been explored to some extent in the author's work before; but we doubt whether he has ever written or, rather, composed, methodically and meticulously, anything better up till now, least of all in relation to the complex philosophical and moral problems posed by the distinction of 'right' and 'wrong', which here undergoes what we believe to be a morally definitive presentation.
Download or read book Frog Pond Philosophy written by Strachan Donnelley and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philanthropist and philosopher Strachan Donnelley (1942--2008) devoted his life to studying the complex relationship between humans and nature. Founder and first president of the Center for Humans and Nature, Donnelley was a pioneer in the exploration and promotion of the idea that human beings individually and collectively have moral and civic responsibilities to natural ecosystems. In this wide-ranging volume, Donnelley traces the connections between influential figures such as Aldo Leopold and Charles Darwin, as well as lesser-known but original thinkers that he met during the course of a full life -- ministers at his church, friends with whom he fished, and colleagues who shared his passion for research and writing. He grounds his work in classic philosophers such as Descartes, Spinoza, and Whitehead and reinterprets their writings about the natural world to develop a conservation-centered philosophy, which he dubs "democratic ecological citizenship." Edited by his daughter, Ceara Donnelley, and Bruce Jennings, Frog Pond Philosophy illuminates the dominant strands of Donnelley's intellectual identity as a philosopher, naturalist, agitator, and spiritualist. Despite his often grim depiction of the current state of the environment, Donnelly never surrenders his faith in humanity's ability to meet its ethical obligations to conserve, respect, and nurture the complexity and diversity of the natural world. His vivid and personal essays, rooted in everyday experiences, offer a distinctive perspective on questions of urgent contemporary importance.

Book excerpt: A critique of Kant's philosophy revealing that the relationship between his Analytic and Dialectic is more complicated than supposed (something we thought utterly impossible).

Download or read book Hegel s Ontology of Power written by Arash Abazari and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent attempts to revitalize Hegel's social and political philosophy have tended to be doubly constrained: firstly, by their focus on Hegel's Philosophy of Right; and secondly, by their broadly liberal interpretive framework. Challenging that trend, Arash Abazari shows that the locus of Hegel's genuine critical social theory is to be sought in his ontology – specifically in the 'logic of essence' of the Science of Logic. Mobilizing ideas from Marx and Adorno, Abazari unveils the hidden critical import of Hegel's logic. He argues that social domination in capitalism obtains by virtue of the illusion of equality and freedom; shows how relations of opposition underlie the seeming pluralism in capitalism; and elaborates on the deepest ground of domination, i.e. the totality of capitalist social relations. Overall, his book demonstrates that Hegel's logic can and should be read politically.

Download or read book History and Totality written by John Grumley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, originally published in 1989, the author establishes a tradition of radical historicism from Hegel to the Budapenst School. He charts both its continuous evolution from the early 19th century to the late 20thh, and its transformation in the context of European social, economic and cultural change. Through a reappraisal of historical interpretation from Hegel to Foucault, the book demonstrates the contemporary relevance of radical historicism. It includes detailed analyses of Marx, Dilthey, Simmel, Weber, Lukácks, Horkheimer, Adorno and Habermas.

Download or read book Adorno on Nature written by Deborah Cook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades before the environmental movement emerged in the 1960s, Adorno condemned our destructive and self-destructive relationship to the natural world, warning of the catastrophe that may result if we continue to treat nature as an object that exists exclusively for our own benefit. "Adorno on Nature" presents the first detailed examination of the pivotal role of the idea of natural history in Adorno's work. A comparison of Adorno's concerns with those of key ecological theorists - social ecologist Murray Bookchin, ecofeminist Carolyn Merchant, and deep ecologist Arne Naess - reveals how Adorno speaks directly to many of today's most pressing environmental issues. Ending with a discussion of the philosophical conundrum of unity in diversity, "Adorno on Nature" also explores how social solidarity can be promoted as a necessary means of confronting environmental problems.
Download or read book Marxism and Totality written by Martin Jay and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Totality has been an abiding concern from the first generation of Western Marxists, most notably Lukács, Korsch, Gramsci, and Bloch, through the second, exemplified by the Frankfurt School, Lefebvre, Goldmann, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Della Volpe, up to the most recent, typified by Althusser, Colletti, and Habermas. Yet no consensus has been reached concerning the term's multiple meanings—expressive, decentered, longitudinal, latitudinal, normative—or its implications for other theoretical and practical matters. By closely following the adventures of this troublesome but central concept, Marxism & Totality offers an unconventional account of the history of Western Marxism.
