 Critical theory and feeling The affective politics of the early Frankfurt School【電子書籍】[ Simon Mussell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This bookoffers a unique and timely reading of the early Frankfurt School in response to the recent ‘affective turn’ within the arts and humanities. Resisting the overly rationalist tendencies of political philosophy, it argues that critical theory actively cultivates a powerful connection between thinking and feeling, and rediscovers a range of often neglected concepts that were of vital importance to the first generation of critical theorists, including melancholia, hope, (un)happiness, objects and mimesis. In doing so, it brings the dynamic work of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch and Siegfried Kracauer into conversation with more recent debates around politics and affect. An important intervention in the fields of affect studies and social and political thought, ＜em＞Critical theory and feeling＜/em＞ shows that sensuous experience is at the heart of the Frankfurt School’s affective politics.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 4,106円 |

 Open Marxism Critical Theory as Militant Enlightenment【電子書籍】[ Christos Memos ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Bringing together the various heterodox traditions, groups and scholars that came under the heading of Open Marxism for the first time, this book assesses the evolution of Open Marxism from the initial usage of the term by Kostas Axelos in France in the 1950s and the journal, ＜em＞Arguments＜/em＞, principally the 'anarchist Marx' of Maximilien Rubel and the 'Libertarian Marxism' of Daniel Gu?rin, through Open Marxism as it was developed in Eastern Europe, especially in the scholarly work of Karel Kosik in Czechoslovakia, the work of the Polish Open Marxists and the ＜em＞Praxis＜/em＞ group in Yugoslavia, to Johannes Agnoli's work in post-1968 (West) Germany, and finally to the work developed by Bonefeld, Clarke, Gunn and Holloway within the framework of the Conference of Socialist Economists (CSE) in Britain since the 1980s.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Its comprehensive study of the historical development of Open Marxism in all its various guises and forms reasserts the rich insights of its devastating critique of social democracy, Leninism-Stalinism and the Althusserian structuralist paradigm. It introduces a new readership to Open Marxism's negative, fundamental, and destructive critique of capitalism and examines the practical relevance of its subversive thinking to the contemporary struggle for a free and open socialist society.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 14,589円 |

 Critical Discourse Studies and Technology A Multimodal Approach to Analysing Technoculture【電子書籍】[ Dr Ian Roderick ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Making a new contribution to the developing field of multimodal critical discourse studies, Ian Roderick's book demonstrates how technologies that tend to be widely represented as innovative, or as simple pragmatic solutions, are always anchored in power relations and are therefore deeply ideological.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A series of examples analysing technologies such as robotics, smart phones or bio-medicine, their functioning and uses, as well as their representations in the media, show that these are embedded within discourses that tell us about ＜em＞social and power relations＜/em＞, ＜em＞identities＜/em＞ and ＜em＞political values＜/em＞. The book takes a tour of everyday technologies and how they are represented in different settings. A Disney theme park attraction showing how technology has improved family life makes many assumptions about what is natural in terms of interpersonal relations, pleasure and satisfaction. Advertisements that represent robot workers inform us about the kinds of worker-management relations now characterising work places. Roderick looks at the way that technologies, while often represented as divorced from their production and maintenance, as objects of wonder, need to be seen within a fabric of social relations that tends to be supressed from how we see them as part of a wider technological fetishism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Engaging with existing theories of technology, the book argues that we must take a more interdisciplinary approach to avoid the pitfalls of social constructivism and technological determinism. Our experiences of technologies are shaped through the relationship between knowledge, practices and institutional forms.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 25,372円 |
 Phaethon: Loose Thoughts for Loose Thinkers Challenging Conventions and Embracing Critical Thinking in 19th Century Literature【電子書籍】[ Charles Kingsley ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Phaethon: Loose Thoughts for Loose Thinkers," Charles Kingsley presents a compelling and thought-provoking narrative that meanders through the intersections of mythology, philosophy, and social critique. Drawing from the ancient Greek myth of Phaethon, who recklessly attempts to drive the sun chariot, Kingsley explores themes of ambition, responsibility, and the quest for knowledge. His literary style is characterized by a blend of poetic prose and incisive commentary, reflecting the Victorian preoccupation with moral and cultural dilemmas while engaging with the evolving scientific discourse of the era. This work stands as a testament to the intellectual ferment of the mid-19th century, offering rich insights into the tensions between faith and reason. Charles Kingsley (1819-1875), a prominent Victorian author, clergyman, and social reformer, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous changes of his time, including the rise of industrialization and the challenges to traditional beliefs. His varied career as a novelist, historian, and naturalist provided him with a nuanced understanding of the societal issues at hand. Kingsley'??s own experiences, combined with his passion for social justice, informed many of the themes found in "Phaethon," as he sought to reconcile faith with contemporary thought and advocate for moral introspection. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a rich exploration of philosophical ideas through an engaging narrative lens. Kingsley's unique voice and insightful reflections invite readers to delve into the complexities of human thought and the moral imperatives that guide our actions. "Phaethon" is not merely a philosophical treatise; it is a call to self-examination and responsible action that resonates with the ongoing discourse surrounding knowledge and ethics today.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 310円 |

 The Witnesses to the Historicity of Jesus Enriched edition. Revealing Myths and Discrepancies in Gospel Narratives: A Critical Analysis of Jesus' Historicity【電子書籍】[ Arthur Drews ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The Witnesses to the Historicity of Jesus," Arthur Drews meticulously examines the documentary evidence surrounding the figure of Jesus Christ, positioning the text within the broader debates of early 20th-century historiography and theology. Drews adopts a critical, analytic literary style characterized by rigorous inquiry and clear articulation. His work is situated at the intersection of religious studies and historical analysis, challenging conventional assumptions about the historical Jesus by exploring the reliability and motivations of the primary witnesses and sources that document his life, ultimately questioning the framework within which Jesus' historicity is often asserted or dismissed. Arthur Drews was a noted German philosopher, a contemporary of influential thinkers exploring Christianity's historical claims, and a vocal advocate of mythicist perspectives. His background in philosophy and his engagement with the rising tide of scientific skepticism fueled his exploration of religious narratives. Through his investigation, Drews argues for an understanding of Jesus not as a historical figure, but as a mythologized construct, reflective of the cultural milieu of his time, which reveals the complexities inherent in the interpretation of religious histories. This book is essential for anyone probing the historical narratives surrounding Jesus, as it offers an audacious perspective that invites readers to reconsider established beliefs and engage deeply with the broader implications of the historical-critical method. Drews' arguments are not only relevant to scholars but accessible to general readers who seek a profound understanding of the interactions between myth and history.

Yet his manual on metaphysics was one of the chief textbooks of philosophical instruction in latter 18th-Century Germany. Originally published in Latin, Kant used the ＜em＞Metaphysics＜/em＞ for nearly four decades as the basis for lectures on metaphysics, anthropology and religion.

For scholars of Kant, the German Enlightenment and the history of metaphysics, Alexander Baumgarten's ＜em＞Metaphysics＜/em＞ is an essential, authoritative resource to a significant philosophical text.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 5,068円 |
 International Law and Transitional Governance Critical Perspectives【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This volume examines the role of international law in shaping and regulating transitional contexts, including the institutions, policies, and procedures that have been developed to steer constitutional regime changes in countries affected by catalytic events.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book offers a new perspective on the phenomenon of conflict-related transitions, whereby societies are re-constitutionalized through a set of interim governance arrangements subject to variable degrees of internationalization. Specifically, this volume interrogates the relevance, contribution, and perils of international law for this increasingly widespread phenomenon of inserting an auxiliary phase between two ages of constitutional government. It develops a nuanced understanding of the various international legal discourses surrounding conflict- and political crisis-related transitional governance by studying the contextual factors that influence the transitional arrangements themselves, with a specific focus on international aspects, including norms, actors, and related forms of expertise. In doing so, the book builds a bridge between comparative constitutional law and international legal scholarship in the practical and highly dynamic terrain of transitional governance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will be of much interest to practitioners and students of international law, diplomacy, mediation, security studies, and international relations.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 9,948円 |

 Islam, Liberalism, and Ontology A Critical Re-evaluation【電子書籍】[ Joseph J. Kaminski ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book offers comparative ontologies of both Islam and liberalism as discourses more broadly construed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author argues that, despite recent efforts to speak of overlapping consensuses and discursive congruence, the fundamental categories that constitute "Islam" and "Liberalism" remain very different, and that these differences should be taken seriously. Thus far, no recent scholarly works have explicitly or meticulously broken down where these differences lie. The author rigorously explores questions related to rights, moral epistemologies, the role of religion in the public sphere, and more general approaches to legal discourse, via primary and canonical sources constitutive of both Islam and liberalism. He then goes on to articulate why communitarian modes of thought are better suited for engaging with Islam and contemporary socio-political modes of organization than liberalism is.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of politics and international relations, Islam, liberalism, and communitarianism.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 9,616円 |

 The Platonic Political Art A Study of Critical Reason and Democracy【電子書籍】[ John R. Wallach ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In this first comprehensive treatment of Plato’s political thought in a long time, John Wallach offers a "critical historicist" interpretation of Plato. Wallach shows how Plato’s theory, while a radical critique of the conventional ethical and political practice of his own era, can be seen as having the potential for contributing to democratic discourse about ethics and politics today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author argues that Plato articulates and "solves" his Socratic Problem in his various dialogues in different but potentially complementary ways. The book effectively extracts Plato from the straightjacket of Platonism and from the interpretive perspectives of the past fifty yearsーprincipally those of Karl Popper, Leo Strauss, Hannah Arendt, M. I. Finley, Jacques Derrida, and Gregory Vlastos.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author’s distinctive approach for understanding Platoーand, he argues, for the history of political theory in generalーcan inform contemporary theorizing about democracy, opening pathways for criticizing democracy on behalf of virtue, justice, and democracy itself.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 5,405円 |

Revealing Contradictions and Insights in Paul's Life and Teachings【電子書籍】[ Peter Annet ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Critical Examination of the Life of St. Paul," Peter Annet embarks on a meticulous analysis of one of Christianity's most pivotal figures, employing a critical and rationalist lens. Annet's work is characterized by a blend of historical scrutiny and theological examination, challenging traditional narratives surrounding the Apostle Paul. Through a combination of textual analysis and philosophical inquiry, Annet interrogates the authenticity of Paul's epistles, his doctrinal contributions, and his influence on early Christianity, situating his life within the sociopolitical contexts of the Roman Empire. Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, Annet's exploration reflects the Age of Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and evidence, inviting readers to rethink established perspectives on this foundational religious figure. Peter Annet (1693-1769) was an English deist and critic, known for his commitment to rational thought and skepticism regarding orthodox religious beliefs. His engagement with theological matters was not merely academic; it stemmed from a broader Enlightenment critique of dogmatic religions. Annet's own religious journey and societal context played a significant role in shaping his critical approach, which sought to reconcile faith with reason and challenge the prevailing religious doctrines of his time. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in religious studies, offering a fresh perspective that transcends mere biography to engage with the theological implications of Paul's life. Annet's rational approach makes the text a stimulating read, encouraging readers to question the accepted narratives of religious history while providing a rich understanding of St. Paul's enduring legacy.
