Review 'Must have come on like punk rock to a public groaning under the weight of over-cooked Augustanisms.' - The Guardian Must have come on like punk rock to a public groaning under the weight of over-cooked Augustanisms. - The Guardian Product De*ion "... must have come on like punk rock to a public groaning under the weight of over-cooked Augustanisms." The Guardian "The majority of the following poems are to be considered as experiments. They were written chiefly with a view to ascertain how far the language of conversation in the middle and lower classes of society is adapted to the purposes of poetic pleasure." --William Wordsworth, from the Advertisement prefacing the original 1798 edition When it was first published, Lyrical Ballads enraged the critics of the day: Wordsworth and Coleridge had given poetry a voice, one decidedly different to what had been voiced before. For Wordsworth, as he so clearly stated in his celebrated preface to the 1800 edition (a

Culler's most famous work, Structuralist Poetics has never been out of print since first publication in 1975, selling over 20,000 copies. It introduced a new way of studying literature by attempting to create a systematic account of the structure of literary works, rather than studying the meaning of the work. Culler's new preface answers some of the criticisms levelled at his approach and details how it is still as relevant today as when it was first published.

A brilliant account of the life of one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Popper also explains some of the central ideas in his work, making this ideal reading for anyone coming to his life and work for the first time.

In On the Nature of the Psyche Jung presents a masterly overview of his theories of the unconscious, and its relation to the conscious mind. Jung's discovery of the 'collective unconscious', a psychic inheritance common to all humankind, transformed the understanding of the self and the way we interpret the world. In On the Nature of the Psyche Jung describes this remarkable theory in his own words, and presents a masterly overview of his theories of the unconscious, and its relation to the conscious mind. Also contained in this collection is On Psychic Energy , where Jung defends his interpretation of the libido, a key factor in the breakdown of his relations with Freud. For anyone seeking to understand Jung's insights into the human mind, this volume is essential reading.

The Yeats anthology of the poems of William Blake is that great rarity: one great visionary poet's anthology of everything that moves him about another, even greater one. Yeats prepared it in 1905 and it probably remains the single greatest single one-volume edition of William Blake extant, the one that, in less than 250 pages, presents as sensibly compressed and canny an edition as you'll ever find of perhaps the least sensible and most chaotic genius of English poetry. Even those who have the complete Blake in a couple of editions will find Yeats' Blake all-but-indispensable. –Buffalo News, April 6, 2003 This selection of Blake's work was commissioned in 1905 by the firm of George Routledge from W.B. Yeats. Yeats, one of the few poets comparable to Blake, prepared a unique selection of his poetic and prose writings.

Contains a complete synthesis of Piaget's thoughts on the mechanisms of intellectual development: it is an extraordinary volume by an extraordiary writer.

What is right ? What is wrong ? How do we decide ? To a remarkable extent, our decision-making is determined by the origins of the ethical ideas that we employ and the history of their development. A Short History of Ethics is widely acknowledged to be the perfect introduction to the subject, presenting in concise form an insightful yet exceptionally complete history of moral philosophy in the West, from the Greeks to contemporary times. In clear and readable prose, Alasdair MacIntyre, one of the finest living philosophers, leads the reader towards a greater understanding of what lies behind our ethical decisions.

When it was first published in 1781, The Confessions scandalisedEurope with its emotional honesty and frank treatment of theauthor's sexual and intellectual development. Since then, it hashad a more profound impact on European thought. Rousseau leftposterity a model of the reflective life - the solitary,uncompromising individual, the enemy of servitude and habit and theselfish egoist who dedicates his life to a particular ideal. TheConfessions recreates the world in which he progressed fromincompetent engraver to grand success; his enthusiasm forexperience, his love of nature, and his uncompromising charactermake him an ideal guide to eighteenth-century Europe, and he wasthe author of some of the most profound work ever written on therelation between the individual and the state.

Led Zeppelin, who bestrode the world of rock like a colossus,have continually grown in popularity and influence since theirofficial winding up in 1980. They exasperated critics and eludedclassification, synthesizing blues, rock, folk, rockabilly, funk,classical, country, Indian, and Arabic techniques. They performedthe alchemical trick of transmuting base led into gold—andplatinum—and diamond. They did what they would, finding wisdomthrough personal excess and artistic self-discipline. “Not a coda to Zeppelin’s legacy, but a blast of metaphysicalgraffiti as relevant today as the first time we heard the openingchords of ‘Stairway to Heaven’. From Kant to ‘Kashmir’, from Freudto ‘Fool in the Rain’, Calef and company explore Zeppelin’s musicin an introspective, suggestive manner worthy of both a blisteringPage solo and a bawdy Bonham stomp.” —BRANDON W. FORBES, co-editor of Radiohead and Philosophy “Led Zeppelin’s albums, personalities, live performances, ar

What are human beings like? How is knowledge possible? What istruth? Where do moral values come from? Questions like these havestood at the center of Western philosophy for centuries. Inaddressing them, philosophers have made certain fundamentalassumptionsthat we can know our own minds by introspection, thatmost of our thinking about the world is literal, and that reason isdisembodied and universalthat are now called into question bywell-established results of cognitive science. It has been shownempirically that:Most thought is unconscious. We have no directconscious access to the mechanisms of thought and language. Ourideas go by too quickly and at too deep a level for us to observethem in any simple way. Abstract concepts are mostly metaphorical.Much of the subject matter of philosopy, such as the nature oftime, morality, causation, the mind, and the self, relies heavilyon basic metaphors derived from bodily experience. What is literalin our reasoning about such concepts is minimal and conceptuallyim

Jean-Paul Sartre, the seminal smarty-pants of mid-century thinking, launched the existentialist fleet with the publication of Being and Nothingness in 1943. Though the book is thick, dense, and unfriendly to careless readers, it is indispensable to those interested in the philosophy of consciousness and free will. Some of his arguments are fallacious, others are unclear, but for the most part Sartre's thoughts penetrate deeply into fundamental philosophical territory. Basing his conception of self-consciousness loosely on Heidegger's "being," Sartre proceeds to sharply delineate between conscious actions ("for themselves") and unconscious ("in themselves"). It is a conscious choice, he claims, to live one's life "authentically" and in a unified fashion, or not--this is the fundamental freedom of our lives. Drawing on history and his own rich imagination for examples, Sartre offers compelling supplements to his more formal arguments. The waiter who detaches himself from his job-role sticks in the reader'

Since their breakthrough hit "Creep" in 1993, Radiohead hascontinued to make waves throughout popular and political culturewith its views about the Bush presidency (its 2003 album was titledHail to the Thief), its anti-corporatism, its pioneering efforts toproduce ecologically sound road tours, and, most of all, itsdecision in 2007 to sell its latest album, In Rainbows, online witha controversial "pay-what-you-want" price. Radiohead and Philosophyoffers fresh ways to appreciate the lyrics, music, and conceptualground of this highly innovative band. The chapters in this bookexplain how Radiohead’s music connects directly to thephilosophical phenomenology of thinkers like Maurice Merleau-Pontyand Martin Heidegger, the existentialism of Albert Camus and JeanPaul Sartre, and the philosophical politics of Karl Marx, JeanBaudrillard, and Noam Chomsky. Fans and critics know that Radioheadis "the only band that matters" on the scene today — Radiohead andPhilosophy shows why.
