What is Consciousness? A Debate

What is consciousness and why is it so philosophically and scientifically puzzling? For many years philosophers approached this question assuming a standard physicalist framework on which consciousness can be explained by contemporary physics biology neuroscience and cognitive science. This book is a debate between two philosophers who are united in their rejection of this kind of standard physicalism - but who differ sharply in what lesson to draw from this. Amy Kind defends dualism 2. 0 a thoroughly modern version of dualism (the theory that there are two fundamentally different kinds of things in the world: those that are physical and those that are mental) decoupled from any religious or non-scientific connotations. Daniel Stoljar defends non-standard physicalism a kind of physicalism different from both the standard version and dualism 2. 0. The book presents a cutting-edge assessment of the philosophy of consciousness and provides a glimpse at what the future study of this area might bring. Key Features Outlines the different things people mean by consciousness and provides an account of what consciousness is Reviews the key arguments for thinking that consciousness is incompatible with physicalism Explores and provides a defense of contrasting responses to those arguments with a special focus on responses that reject the standard physicalist framework Provides an account of the basic aims of the science of consciousness Written in a lively and accessibly style Includes a comprehensive glossary | What is Consciousness?

What Painting Is

In this classic text James Elkins communicates the experience of painting beyond the traditional vocabulary of art history.

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy? attempts to redefine music literacy with a more expansive meaning than is commonly in use and to articulate the potential impact of these ideas on music teaching practice. The notion of music literacy has involved the ability to read and write music scores. However this understanding does not extend theory to identify all music texts nor to offer a thorough treatment of what impact an expanded notion of music literacy might have on music instruction in the classroom and in ensembles. This book provides a formal expansive redefinition of music literacy. The author offers practical ideas for attending more effectively to music literacy in classroom instruction. The book highlights common elements in the music classroom: the music score the conductor surrounding ensemble members the musical model the musical instrument and presentations/recordings. It also describes four orientations that correspond to the National Core Music Standards (2014) and that characterize humans’ interactions with music: creator performer responder and connector. What is Music Literacy? uses these orientations along with a focus on authentic music texts and literacies to present literacy-based guidelines for music education along with numerous vignettes that describe actual literacy instructional events. | What is Music Literacy?

What is Colonialism?

What is Colonialism? develops a clear and rigorous account of what colonialism is and how it works. It draws on and synthesizes recent work in cognitive science affective science and social psychology along with Marxism and related forms of analysis. Hogan begins with some fundamental conceptual distinctions such as the degree to which a group shares beliefs dispositions and skills versus the degree to which they share identification with a category. Building on these distinctions he defines colonialism in terms of political economic and cultural autonomy clarifying the nature of culture and autonomy particularly. He goes on to articulate an invaluable systematic account of the varieties of colonialism. The final chapters outline the motives of imperialists differentiating these from their ideological rationalizations and sketching the harms caused by colonialism. The book concludes by considering when or if one can achieve a genuinely postcolonial condition. Hogan illustrates these analyses by examining influential literary works—by European writers (such as Joseph Conrad) and by non-Europeans (such as Athol Fugard Kamala Markandaya and Wole Soyinka). This accessible and informative volume is the ideal resource for students and scholars interested in colonialism and empire.

What Even Is Gender?

Debates about gender are everywhere. Is it an inner identity a biological fact or an oppressive system? Should we respect it or resist it? What Even Is Gender? shifts the conversation in a fresh direction arguing that these debates rest on a shared mistake: the idea that there is one thing called gender that both sides are arguing about. The authors distinguish a range of phenomena that established vocabulary often lumps together. This sheds light on the equivocations and false dichotomies of gender talk and how they deny many of us the tools to make our needs experiences and concerns intelligible to others or even to ourselves. The authors develop a conceptual toolkit that helps alleviate the harms that result from the limitations of familiar approaches. They propose a pluralistic concept of gender feels that distinguishes among our experiences of diverse facets of gendered life. They develop a flexible approach to gender categories that reflects the value of self-determination. And they suggest that what we need is not one universal language of gender but an awareness of individual variation and a willingness to adjust to changing contexts and circumstances. A bold and thought-provoking approach to thinking about gender What Even Is Gender? will be of great interest to those in philosophy gender studies sociology and LGBTQIA+ studies.

What is Soul?

Rooted in the metaphysics of bygone times the notion of soul in our Western tradition is packed with associations and meanings that are incompatible with the anthropological and naturalistic thinking that prevails in modernity. Whereas treatises of old conceived of the soul as an infinite immaterial substance which was the ground of man’s hope for eternal salvation modern psychology has for the most part discarded the concept in favor of more tangible touchstones such as the emotions desires and attachments which characterize man as a finite bodily-existing positive fact. An exception to this trend has been the analytical psychology of C. G. Jung. Against the positivistic spirit of his times Jung insisted upon a ‘psychology with soul ’ that is a psychology based upon the hypothesis of an autonomous mind. In this volume Wolfgang Giegerich once again takes up the Jungian commitment to a psychology with soul. Agreeing with Jung that the soul concept is indispensable for a truly psychological psychology he supplements and re-orients the Jungian approach to both this concept and the phenomenology of the soul by means of a whole series of nuanced discussions that are as rigorous as they are thoroughgoing. The result is nothing short of a tour de force. Tarrying with the negative Giegerich’s particular contribution resides in his showing the movement against the soul to be the soul’s own doing. In animus moments of itself consciousness in the form of philosophy and Enlightenment reason turned upon itself as religion and metaphysics. Far from abolishing the soul however these incisive negations were themselves negated. As if dancing upon its own demise the soul came home to itself not as an invisible metaphysical substance but more invisibly still as the logically negative evaporation of that substance into the form of subject or even better said into psychology. | What is Soul?

Raw Veganism The Philosophy of The Human Diet

Human beings are getting fatter and sicker. As we question what we eat and why we eat it this book argues that living well involves consuming a raw vegan diet. With eating healthfully and eating ethically being simpler said than done this book argues that the best solution to health environmental and ethical problems concerning animals is raw veganism—the human diet. The human diet is what humans are naturally designed to eat and that is a raw vegan diet of fruit tender leafy greens and occasionally nuts and seeds. While veganism raises challenging questions over the ethics of consuming animal products while also considering the environmental impact of the agriculture industry raw veganism goes a step further and argues that consuming cooked food is also detrimental to our health and the environment. Cooking foods allows us to eat food that is not otherwise fit for human consumption and in an age that promotes eating foods in ‘moderation’ and having ‘balanced’ diets this raises the question of why we are eating foods that should only be consumed in moderation at all as moderation clearly implies they aren’t good for us. In addition from an environmental perspective the use of stoves ovens and microwaves for cooking contributes significantly to energy consumption and cooking in general generates excessive waste of food and resources. Thus this book maintains that living well and living a noble life that is good physical and moral health requires consuming a raw vegan diet. Exploring the scientific and philosophical aspects of raw veganism this novel book is essential reading for all interested in promoting ethical healthful and sustainable diets. | Raw Veganism The Philosophy of The Human Diet

Tolstoy on Aesthetics What is Art?

This title was first published in 2001: Tolstoy's view of art is discussed in most courses in aesthetics particularly his main text What is Art? He believed that the importance of art lies not in its purely aesthetic qualities but in its connection with life and that art becomes decadent where this connection is lost. This view has often been misconceived and its strength overlooked. This book presents a clear exposition of Tolstoy's What is Art? highlighting the value and importance of Tolstoy's views in relation to aesthetics. Mounce considers the problems which exercised Tolstoy and explains their fundamental importance in contemporary disputes. Having viewed these problems of aesthetics as they arise in a classic work Howard Mounce affords readers fresh insights not simply into the problems of aesthetics themselves but also into their contemporary treatment. Students and interested readers of aesthetics and philosophy as well as those exploring the works of Tolstoy in literature will find this book of particular interest and will discover that reading What is Art? with attention affords something of the excitement found in removing the grime from an oil painting - gradually from underneath there appears an authentic masterpiece. | Tolstoy on Aesthetics What is Art?

What is Europe?

This authoritative yet accessible introduction to understanding Europe today moves beyond accounts of European integration to provide a wide-ranging and nuanced study of contemporary Europe and its historical development. This fully updated edition adds material on recent developments such as Brexit and the migrant and Eurozone crises. The concept of Europe is instilled with a plethora of social cultural economic and political meanings. Throughout history and still today scholars writing on Europe and politicians involved in national or European politics often disagree on the geographic limits of this space and the defining elements of Europe. Europe is therefore first and foremost a concept that takes different shapes and meanings depending on the realm of life on which it is applied and on the historical period under investigation. At a given point in time depending on the perspective we adopt and the situation in which we find ourselves Europe may represent very different things. Thus we should better talk about ‘Europes’ in plural. What is Europe? explores these evolving conceptions of Europe from antiquity to the present. This book is all the more timely as Europe responds to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Britain’s departure from the European Union financial slump refugee emergencies and the COVID-19 pandemic. This book offers a fully updated introduction to European studies from an interdisciplinary perspective. It is a crucial companion to any undergraduate or graduate course on Europe and the European Union.

What is the Theatre?

What is the Theatre? is one of the most coherent and systematic descriptions and analyses of the theatre yet compiled. Theatre is above all spectacle. It is a fleeting performance delivered by actors and intended for spectators. It is a work of the body an exercise of voice and gesture addressed to an audience most often in a specific location and with a unique setting. This entertainment event rests on the delivery of a thing promised and expected – a particular and unique performance witnessed by spectators who have come to the site of the performance for this very reason. To witness theatre is to take into account the performance but it is also to take into account the printed text as readable object and a written proposition. In this book Christian Biet and Christophe Triau focus on the practical theoretical and historical positions that the spectator and the reader have had in relation to the locations that they frequent and the texts that they handle. They adopt two approaches: analysing the spectacle in its theatrical and historical context in an attempt to seek out the principles and paradigms of approaching the theatre experience on one hand and analysing the dramaturgy of a production in order to establish lines of interpretation and how to read represent and stage a text on the other. This approach allows us to better understand the ties that link those who participate in the theatre to the practitioners who create theatrical entertainment.

What Makes a Philosopher Great? Thirteen Arguments for Twelve Philosophers

This book is inspired by a single powerful question. What is it to be great as a philosopher? No single grand answer is presumed to be possible; instead rewardingly close studies of philosophical greatness are developed. This is a scholarly yet accessible volume blending metaphilosophy with the long history of philosophy and traversing centuries and continents. The result is a series of case studies by accomplished scholars each chapter trying to understand and convey a particular philosopher’s greatness: Lloyd P. Gerson on Plato Karyn Lai on Zhuangzi David Bronstein on Aristotle Jonardon Ganeri on Buddhaghosa Jeffrey Hause on Aquinas Gary Hatfield on Descartes Karen Detlefsen on du Chtelet Don Garrett on Hume Allen Wood on Kant (as a moral philosopher) Nicholas F. Stang on Kant (as a metaphysician) Ken Gemes on Nietzsche Cheryl Misak on Peirce David Macarthur on Wittgenstein This also serves a larger philosophical purpose. Might we gain increased clarity about what philosophy is in the first place? After all in practice we individuate philosophy partly through its greatest practitioners’ greatest contributions. The book does not discuss every philosopher who has been regarded as great. The point is not to offer a definitive list of The Great Philosophers but rather to learn something about what great philosophy is and might be from illuminated examples of past greatness. | What Makes a Philosopher Great?

What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

Philosophers Bob Fischer and Anja Jauernig agree that human society often treats animals in indefensible ways and that all animals morally matter; they disagree on whether humans and animals morally matter equally. In What Do We Owe Other Animals?: A Debate Fischer and Jauernig square off over this central question in animal ethics. Jauernig defends the view that all living beings morally matter equally and are owed compassion on account of which we are also obligated to adopt a vegan diet. Fischer denies that we have an obligation to become vegans and argues for the position that humans morally matter more than all other living creatures. The two authors each offer a clear well-developed opening statement a direct response to the other’s statement and then a response to the other’s response. Along the way they explore central questions like: What kind of beings matter morally? What kind of obligations do we have towards other animals? How demanding can we reasonably expect these obligations to be? Do our individual consumer choices such as the choice to purchase factory-farmed animal products make a difference to the wellbeing of animals? The debate is helpfully framed by introductions and conclusions to each of the major parts and by smaller introductions to each of the sub-sections. A Foreword by Dustin Crummett sets the context for the debate within a larger discussion of sentience moral standing reason-guided compassion and the larger field of animal ethics.

The Castration Complex What is So Natural About Sexuality?

This book illustrates that the Castration Complex and the question of the distinction between the sexes are enmeshed in psychoanalytic theories. The subjective negotiation of this distinction impacts the future sexual positions taken up (or not) by the subject indicating that human sexuality is by no means a given or a natural occurrence in psychoanalysis. Engagement with the psychoanalytic theory of castration provides the reader with a different perspective on the current society’s insistence on gradually dissolving the differences between the sexes. For Freud castration complex is the key to understanding the psychical consequences of the anatomical distinction between the sexes. For Lacan castration introduces the subject to his/her very existence as a sexed being. Mou Sultana illustrates how these two revolutionary theorists came to such conclusions by close reading of the core texts interpreting them and highlighting their relevance both within and outside the clinic of modern times. | The Castration Complex What is So Natural About Sexuality?

What Makes Life Meaningful? A Debate

Can human life be meaningful? What does talk about life’s meaning even mean? What is God’s role if any in a meaningful life? These three questions frame this one-of-a-kind debate between two philosophers who have spent most of their professional lives thinking and writing about the topic of life’s meaning. In this wide-ranging scholarly conversation Professors Thaddeus Metz and Joshua W. Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these questions while responding to each other’s objections in a lively dialog format. Seachris argues that the concept of life’s meaning largely revolves around three interconnected ideas—mattering purpose and sense-making; that a meaningful human life involves sufficiently manifesting all three; and that God would importantly enhance the meaningfulness of life on each of these three fronts. Metz instead holds that talk of life’s meaning is about a variety of properties such as meriting pride transcending one’s animal self making a contribution and authoring a life-story. For him many lives are meaningful insofar as they exercise intelligence in positive robust and developmental ways. Finally Metz argues that God is unnecessary for an objective meaning that suits human nature. Metz and Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these three questions while responding to each other’s objections in a dialog format that is accessible to students though—given their new contributions—will be of great interest to scholars as well. Key Features Offers an up-to-date scholarly conversation on life’s meaning by two researchers at the forefront of research on the topic. Provides a wide-ranging yet orderly discussion of the most important issues. Accessible for the student investigating the topic for the first time yet also valuable to the scholar working on life’s meaning. Includes helpful pedagogical features like:- Chapter outlines and introductions;- Annotated reading lists for both students and research-level readers;- A glossary; and- Clear examples thought experiments narratives and cultural references which enhance the book’s role in thinking about life’s meaning and related topics. | What Makes Life Meaningful?
