Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Smile of Tragedy, Daniel Ahern examines Nietzsche’s attitude toward what he called “the tragic age of the Greeks,” showing it to be the foundation not only for his attack upon the birth of philosophy during the Socratic era but also for his overall critique of Western culture. Through an interpretation of “Dionysian pessimism,” Ahern clarifies the ways in which Nietzsche sees ethics and aesthetics as inseparable and how their theoretical separation is at the root of Western nihilism. Ahern explains why Nietzsche, in creating this precursor to a new aesthetics, rejects Aristotle’s medicinal interpretation of tragic art and concentrates on Apollinian cruelty as a form of intoxication without which there can be no art. Ahern shows that Nietzsche saw the human body as the vessel through which virtue and art are possible, as the path to an interpretation of “selflessness,” as the means to determining an order of rank among human beings, and as the site where ethics and aesthetics coincide.

Download or read book Wittgenstein, Anti-foundationalism, Technoscience and Philosophy of Education written by Michael A. Peters and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of essays motivated by a "cultural" and biographical reading of Wittgenstein. It includes some new essays and some that were originally published in Educational Philosophy and Theory. The book focuses on the concept of “technoscience”, and the relevance of Wittgenstein’s work for philosophy of technology which amplifies Lyotard’s reading and provides a critique of education as an increasingly technology-led enterprise. It includes a distinctive view on the ethics of reading Wittgenstein and the ethics of suicide that shaped him. It also examines the reception and engagement with Wittgenstein’s work in French philosophy with a chapter on post-analytic philosophy of education as a choice between Richard Rorty and Jean-François Lyotard. Peters examines Wittgenstein’s academic life at Cambridge University and his involvement as a student and faculty member in the Moral Sciences Club. Finally, the book provides an understanding of Wittgensteinian styles of reasoning and the concept of worldview. Is it possible to escape the picture that holds us captive? This constitutes a challenging introduction to Wittgenstein’s work for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of education, technology and philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Affinities is the first book to explore the multifaceted relationship between the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and various dimensions of African American thought. Exploring the connections between these two unlikely interlocutors, the contributors focus on unmasking and understanding the root causes and racially inflected symptoms of various manifestations of cultural malaise. They contemplate the operative warrant for reconstituted conceptions of racial identity and recognize the existential and social recuperative potential of the will to power. In so doing, they simultaneously foster and exemplify a nuanced understanding of what both traditions regard as "the art of the cultural physician." The contributors connote daring scholarly attempts to explicate the ways in which clarifying the critical affinities between Nietzsche and various expressions of African American thought not only enriches our understanding of each, but also enhances our ability to realize the broader ends of advancing the prospects for social and psychological flourishing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insbesondere die Romantrilogie 'Beloved, Jazz' und 'Paradise' der amerikanischen Literaturnobelpreistragerin Toni Morrison wird als Hohepunkt ihrer innovativen Erzahlkunst gesehen und ist vielfaltig interpretiert worden. Die vorliegende Studie fugt den Deutungen eine genuin transnationale Lesart hinzu. So untersucht die Arbeit Morrisons philosophisches Interesse an der griechischen Tragodie und dem Katharsis-Konzept. Ausgehend von Nietzsche entwickelt die Studie anhand grundlegender Theoreme von Freud, Hegel und Marx die Grundlagen einer tragischen Wissenskultur, welche mit der Philosophie von W.E.B. DuBois und Henry Louis Gates Jr. und den Ideen der 'double consciousness' sowie des 'doctors of interpretation' verbunden werden. Morrisons Trilogie wird als prophetische Schrift dieser tragischen Wissenskultur vorgestellt, in der die notwendigen, aber illusorischen Kategorien, Ordnungen, Hierarchien und Kontrollfantasien des Apollinischen immer wieder durch die Dekonstruktion des Dionysischen hinterfragt und in Bewegung gebracht werden.
