A fascinating history of China s relations with the West―told through the lives of two eighteenth-century translators. The 1793 British embassy to China, which led to Lord George Macartney s fraught encounter with the Qianlong emperor, has often been viewed as a clash of cultures fueled by the East s lack of interest in the West. In The Perils of Interpreting , Henrietta Harrison presents a more nuanced picture, ingeniously shifting the historical lens to focus on Macartney s two interpreters at that meeting―Li Zibiao and George Thomas Staunton. Who were these two men? How did they intervene in the exchanges that they mediated? And what did these exchanges mean for them? From Galway to Chengde, and from political intrigues to personal encounters, Harrison reassesses a pivotal moment in relations between China and Britain. She shows that there were Chinese who were familiar with the West, but growing tensions endangered those who embraced both cultures and would eventually culminate in the O

Most of Nietzsche`s works are concerned with the present state and future of European culture and humanity, thereby resisting the nationalist nonsense. Prange analyzes the development of his ideal of European culture based on his musical aesthetics. She does so against the background of contemporary searches for a wider, cultural meaning beyond Europe`s economic-political union. One focus is on Nietzsche`s relation to Wagner`s German music.

This volume consists of the revised and expanded versions of the papers presented at the International Conference Nietzsche On Instinct and Language , held at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal) in December 2009. The list of contributors includes top Nietzsche scholars, like Werner Stegmaier, Patrick Wotling, and Scarlett Marton. The volume as a whole represents a fresh look at Nietzsche`s attempt to connect language to the instinctive activity of the human body. Four of the papers focus on Nietzsche`s early Nachlass notes and writings, including The Birth of Tragedy and On Truth and Lying in a Non-Moral Sense the other seven deal with his mature views on this important subject, especially in Beyond Good and Evil, The Gay Science, and the Nachlass. In focusing on how Nietzsche tries to dissolve the traditional opposition between instinct and language, as well as between instinct and consciousness and instinct and reason, the different papers consider, from this viewpoint, such Nietzschean themes as mo

The aphoristic form causes difficulty, Nietzsche lamented in 1887, for today this form is not taken seriously enough. Over a century later, Nietzsche`s Aphoristic Challenge offers the first book-length study in English devoted explicitly to Nietzsche`s aphoristic writings, including Human, All Too Human and The Gay Science. The study argues that the function of the aphorism for Nietzsche changes, but can best be understood in terms of excess.

The central novel claim of the book is that in the B-Deduction Kant provides a proof of the derivability of each of the twelve categories from the principle of apperception. This goes against the current view that the Transcendental Deduction is not a proof in the strict philosophical sense and the standard reading that the Deduction only gives an account of the global applicability of the categories.

In this study, the author shows new entry points to the dialogue between Kant and Heidegger. Schalow takes up the question: Why should a philosopher like Kant, for whom language seemed to be almost inconsequential, become the crucial counter point for a thinker like Heidegger to develop a novel way to understand and express the most perennial of all philosophical concepts, namely, being` as such?

This book defends an understanding of Kant`s theory of the pure aesthetic judgment of taste as detailing an operation of the faculties that does not violate the cognitive structure laid out in the first Critique. After examining the roles that concepts can and cannot play in this form of judgment and the logical functions, it describes how they operate to reveal the moments to which this power of judgment attends in its reflection (CPJ, 5:203).

It’s easy to lie when you don’t have to look at the faces of the people you’re lying to... James Thomas trusts few. He keeps his inner circle tight. He values loyalty above all else. But when he discovers someone in his inner circle—the people he loves and treats like family—is providing intel to his enemies, he will stop at nothing to find out the traitor’s identity. There will be no forgiveness.

The debate between moral realism and antirealism plays an important role in contemporary metaethics as well as in the interpretation of Kant`s moral philosophy. This volume aims to clarify whether, and in what sense, Kant is a moral realist, an antirealist, or something in-between. Based on an explication of the key metaethical terms, internationally recognized Kant scholars discuss the question of how Kant`s moral philosophy should be understood in this regard. All camps in the metaethical field have their inhabitants: Some contributors read Kant`s philosophy in terms of a more or less robust moral realism, objectivism, or idealism, and some of them take it to be a version of constructivism, constitutionism, or brute antirealism. In any case, all authors introduce and defend their terminology in a clear manner and argue thoughtfully and refreshingly for their positions. With contributions of Stefano Bacin, Jochen Bojanowski, Christoph Horn, Patrick Kain, Lara Ostaric, Fred Rauscher, Oliver Sensen, Elke Schm

This work argues that teleological motives lie at the heart of Kant`s critical philosophy and that a precise analysis of teleological structures can both illuminate the basic strategy of its fundamental arguments and provide a key to understanding its unity. It thus provides, through an examination of Kant`s major writings, a detailed interpretation of his claim that philosophy in the true sense must consist of a teleologia rationis humanae.

In the Typic chapter of the Critique of Practical Reason, Kant aims to enable moral judgment by means of the law of nature, which serves as the type`, or formal analogue, of moral law. The present monograph is the first comprehensive study of this key text. It provides a detailed commentary on the Typic, situates it within Kant`s ethics and his theory of symbolic representation, and critically engages with the relevant secondary literature.

What did Immanuel Kant really think about love? This book is the first in-depth study of the concept of love in Kant`s philosophy. It argues that love is much more important to Kant than previously thought, and that understanding love is actually essential for Kantian ethical life. Perhaps surprisingly, for Kant, love permeates human existence from the strongest impulses of nature to the highest ideals of morally deserved happiness.

This monograph is a new interpretation of Kant`s temporal conception of the causality of the freedom of the will. The interpretation is based on an analysis of Kant`s primary conception of an action, viz., as a causal consequence of the will. The analysis in turn is based on H. P. Grice`s causal theory of perception and on P. F. Strawson`s modification of the theory. The monograph rejects the customary assumption that Kant`s maxim of an action is a causal determination of the action. It assumes instead that the maxim is definitive of the action, and since its main thesis is that an action for Kant is to be primarily understood as an effect of the will, it concludes that the maxim of an action can only be its logical determination. #12288 Kant`s temporal conception of the causality of free will is confronted not only by contemporary philosophical conceptions of causality, but by Kant`s own complementary theory of causality, in the Second Analogy of Experience. According to this latter conception, causality

The first authoritative collection of drawings by legendary modern architect Lina Bo Bardi Lina Bo Bardi (1914–1992) was one of the most prolific and visionary architects of the twentieth century. Raised in Italy under Mussolini’s Fascist regime and emigrating to Brazil after World War II, she championed the power of architecture and design to embrace everyday life. Her boldly modernist designs range from concrete-and-glass structures like the S?o Paulo Museum of Art and the culture and leisure center SESC Pompéia to furniture and jewelry. This is the first book to examine one of the most intimate and expressive features of her life and work, but one she rarely shared with the public—drawing.Bo Bardi produced thousands of drawings in her lifetime, from picturesque landscapes drawn when she was a child, to sketches made as part of her daily routine as an architect, to fanciful drawings that show different aspects of her private life. In this beautifully illustrated book, Zeuler Lima,
