Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a review of the work of Karl Jaspers composed several years before the publication of his book Being and Time, Martin Heidegger suggested that the philosophical orientations of his period had made a wrong turn and skirted by the fundamental path of thought. He suggested that instead of taking up a heritage of original questions, his contemporaries had become preoccupied with secondary issues, accepting as fundamental what was in fact only incidental. In the years that followed, Heidegger's promise to reorient philosophy in terms of the Seinsfrage, the question of Being, exercised a well-known influence on successive generations of thinkers on a global scale. The present book delves into the philosophical sources of this influence and raises the question whether Heidegger indeed made good on the promise to reveal for thought what is truly fundamental. In proposing this investigation, the author assumes that it is not sufficient to take Heidegger at his word, but that it is necessary to scrutinize what is posited as fundamental in light of its broader implications-above all for ethico-political judgment and for historical reflection. After addressing this question in the first part of the book, the second part examines the significance of Heidegger's reorientation of philosophy through the prism of its critical reception in the thought of Hannah Arendt, Emmanuel Levinas, and Paul Ricoeur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do digital media technologies affect society and our lives? Through the cultural theory hypotheses of hyper-modernism, hyperreality, and posthumanism, Alan N. Shapiro investigates the social impact of Virtual/Augmented Reality, AI, social media platforms, robots, and the Brain-Computer Interface. His examination of concepts of Jean Baudrillard and Katherine Hayles, as well as films such as Blade Runner 2049, Ghost in the Shell, Ex Machina, and the TV series Black Mirror, suggests that the boundary between science fiction narratives and the »real world« has become indistinct. Science-fictional thinking should be advanced as a principal mode of knowledge for grasping the world and digitalization.

Book excerpt: Nietzsche's vision of the 'overman' continues to haunt the postmodern imagination. His call that 'man is something that must be overcome' can no longer be seen as simple rhetoric. Our experiences of the hybrid realities of artificial life have made the 'transhuman' a figure that looks over us all. Inspired by this vision, Keith Ansell Pearson sets out to examine if evolution is 'out of control' and machines are taking over. In a series of six fascinating perspectives, he links Nietzsche's thought with the issues at stake in contemporary conceptions of evolution from the biological to the technological. Viroid Life; Perspectives on Nietzsche and the Transhuman Condition considers the hybrid, 'inhuman' character of our future with the aid of Nietzsche's philosophy. Keith Ansell Pearson contrasts Nietzsche and Darwin before introducing the more recent figures such as Giles Deleuze and Guy Debord to sketch a new thinking of technics and machines and stress the ambiguous character of our 'machine enslavement'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Genealogy of Morals: A Polemic by Friedrich Nietzsche is a thought-provoking and controversial work that delves into the origins and evolution of morality. Originally published in 1887, this three-essay collection has sparked intense debates and critical analysis, making it one of Nietzsche's most influential and enduring works. In this book, Nietzsche sets out to challenge and uproot traditional moral systems, particularly those rooted in Judeo-Christian beliefs. He argues that morality is not objective, but rather a human construct that has been imposed on society by those in positions of power. He rejects the notion of an absolute right or wrong and instead presents a genealogical approach to understanding the development of morals. The first essay, "Good and Evil, Good and Bad," explores Nietzsche's concept of the "slave revolt in morality." He posits that the values of good and evil were originally defined by the ruling class as a means of controlling and subjugating the weak. In this way, the concept of good was associated with qualities such as submission, obedience, and meekness, while evil was associated with strength, independence, and power. Nietzsche argues that this system of morality has been internalized by the masses, leading to the suppression of their natural instincts and desires. In the second essay, "Guilt, Bad Conscience, and Related Matters," Nietzsche delves into the origins of guilt and how it has been used to control and manipulate individuals. He argues that the concept of guilt was created by those in power to maintain their dominance over the weak. This essay also explores the development of the concept of the soul and the role it has played in shaping morality. The final essay, "What is the Meaning of Ascetic Ideals?" delves into the ascetic ideals of self-denial and renunciation. Nietzsche argues that these ideals have been imposed on society in order to suppress the natural instincts and drives of individuals, creating a society of weak and sick individuals. The Genealogy of Morals is a scathing critique of traditional morality and a call to reject these inherited values and create new ones based on an individual's own instincts and desires. Nietzsche's ideas have greatly influenced modern philosophy, psychology, and sociology, and his work continues to be a subject of debate and analysis. However, it is important to note that this book has been subject to criticism for its provocative and often controversial ideas. Some argue that Nietzsche's rejection of traditional morality and emphasis on individualism can lead to a dangerous and amoral society. Others question the validity of his historical analysis and the generalizability of his theories. The Genealogy of Morals is a challenging and thought-provoking read that forces readers to question their deeply ingrained beliefs about morality. It is a polemic against societal norms and a call to embrace one's own instincts and desires. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Nietzsche's ideas, this book remains a crucial piece of literature that continues to influence philosophical discourse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the genealogy of modernity as it has been articulated by the original contributions of Kant, Nietzsche, and Foucault, in their respective conceptions of truth, power, and ethics. The author seeks to show that in order to articulate a philosophical discourse on modernity one must not only refer to cultural, historical events associated with modern conceptions of truth, power, and ethics, but one must also undertake an analysis of how these different axes concur to determine what we call 'modernity'. Such is in effect the genealogical thrust of this study, which is explicitly based upon Foucault's readings of Kant and Nietzsche, so as to show that critique and genealogy constitute a highly original contribution of Foucault's social philosophy to the study of modernity. The 'genealogy of modernity' is shown to constitute the major thesis of a Foucauldian 'philosophical discourse of modernity' which, contrary to Habermas's criticisms, does not evade questions of truth, normativity, and value, but rather problematises them. The genealogy of modernity is itself made possible by the articulation of the three axes of truth, power, and ethics that determine the historical a priori of our modern ethos as the condition of who we are, that is, the formation of modern subjectivity with its regimes of veridiction and jurisdiction, modes of subjectivation and practices of freedom.
