Shusterman's Somaesthetics : From Hip Hop Philosophy to Politics and Performance Art /

: This edited collection provides an in-depth and wide-ranging exploration of pragmatist philosopher Richard Shusterman's distinctive project of "somaesthetics," devoted not only to better understanding bodily experience but also to greater mastery of somatic perception, performance, and presentation. Against contemporary trends that focus narrowly on conceptual and computational thinking, Shusterman returns philosophy to what is most fundamental-the sentient, expressive, human body with its creations of living beauty. Twelve scholars here provide penetrating critical analyses of Shusterman on ontology, perception, language, literature, culture, politics, aesthetics, cuisine, music, and the visual arts, including films of his work in performance art.

Recalling Masaryk's The Czech Question : Humanity and Politics on the Threshold of the Twenty-First Century /

: This book presents T. G. Masaryk's efforts to shape the identity of a small nation in late the 19th and early 20th century. It features contributions from leading Czech scholars who analyse Masaryk's efforts 120 years later. Masaryk is considered the most important figure in modern Czech history. Drawing on the ideas of his ideological predecessors and humanists, he wanted to integrate the Czech nation into the family of advanced world nations in line with international intellectual trends. Masaryk was the first in world history to fulfil the Platonic ideal of a philosopher who founded a state.

Parasite: A Philosophical Exploration /

: Parasite presents the ethico-biological problem of parasitism in a metaphorical and artistic fashion. In this book, philosophers explore the film using sources such as the ancient satirist Lucian's De Parasito, Nietzsche's "the vengeance of the weak," Dostoyevsky's "Underground," or Marxism, among others.
Parasite is a philosophically interesting film because it presents the ethico-biological problem of parasitism in a metaphorical and artistic fashion. Michel Serres, in his book called The Parasite , holds that parasites are not in fact useless, but that they establish communications between different spheres and are thus able to transform large-scale organisms. Parasites import coincidences, activate defence systems, and establish new links with the host. In this book, philosophers explore the film from various angles: using the ancient satirist Lucian's De Parasito , Nietzsche's concept of "the vengeance of the weak," Dostoyevsky's "underground," Marxism, and many more.

Philosophie des Sehens : Das Auge und der Blick /

: Der Mensch ist ein Augentier. Schon die vorsokratische Philosophie feierte den Sehsinn als den edelsten, womit das Auge zum herausgehobenen Gesichtssinn wurde. Gleichwohl wurde von der Antike an, im Deutschen Idealismus und in der Aufklärungsphilosophie das Sehen gegenüber dem begrifflichen Erkennen abgewertet, was im Zusammenhang mit der Verachtung des Leibes und der Sinne steht. Eine angemessene Würdigung erfährt das Sehen in der Phänomenologie der Wahrnehmung von Merleau-Ponty, bei Bergson und bei Sartre, dessen Blicktheorie für eine Subjekt- und für eine Intersubjektivitätstheorie grundlegend ist. Die Studie belegt, dass das Sehen für unser Erkennen, unseren Weltzugang und unsere Existenz grundlegend und nicht zu ersetzen ist.

Plotinus on What We Think We Are /

: The Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus invites us to take part in his philosophizing when he encourages his readers to think about what they think they are, as living beings, human beings, as rational beings, ethical subjects and as philosophers. He is interested in what we say about ourselves in ordinary language and notices that such ordinary experience conflicts with what the Platonic tradition claims we (truly) are. This conflict does not lead him to turn away from the human terms and expressions, but impels him to take seriously what we say about ourselves and to explain it philosophically.

Feministisch Denken : Die Philosophie hinter der Revolution /

: "Feministisch denken" führt kompakt und verständlich durch die Hintergründe, Grundlagen und Auswirkungen, aber auch die Sackgassen und Irrwege der feministischen Bewegung und der revolutionären Philosophie dahinter. Geistreich und scharfzüngig zeigt Carol Hay unverblümt, wie unsere Gesellschaft noch immer von Misogynie durchzogen ist, und lässt dabei keine der essenziellen Fragen des Feminismus aus, um deren Beantwortung seit Jahrhunderten gerungen wird: Sind Geschlechterrollen und Genderidentitäten angeboren oder erlernt? Wie hängt Sexismus mit anderen Formen der Diskriminierung zusammen? Wer zählt als Frau*, und vor allem: Wer entscheidet darüber? Welche Verantwortung tragen Frauen* selbst für die Aufrechterhaltung des Patriarchats? Was, wenn überhaupt, können wir tun, damit die Bedürfnisse von Frauen* gesellschaftlich anerkannt werden? "Feministisch denken" ist als Einstieg ebenso geeignet wie als Denkanstoß für Fortgeschrittene.
