Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy has inherited a powerful impulse to embrace either dualism or a reductive monism—either a radical separation of mind and body or the reduction of mind to body. But from its origins in the writings of the Stoics, the first thoroughgoing materialists, another view has acknowledged that no forms of materialism can be completely self-inclusive—space, time, the void, and sense are the incorporeal conditions of all that is corporeal or material. In The Incorporeal Elizabeth Grosz argues that the ideal is inherent in the material and the material in the ideal, and, by tracing its development over time, she makes the case that this same idea reasserts itself in different intellectual contexts. Grosz shows that not only are idealism and materialism inextricably linked but that this "belonging together" of the entirety of ideality and the entirety of materiality is not mediated or created by human consciousness. Instead, it is an ontological condition for the development of human consciousness. Grosz draws from Spinoza's material and ideal concept of substance, Nietzsche's amor fati, Deleuze and Guattari's plane of immanence, Simondon's preindividual, and Raymond Ruyer's self-survey or autoaffection to show that the world preexists the evolution of the human and that its material and incorporeal forces are the conditions for all forms of life, human and nonhuman alike. A masterwork by an eminent theoretician, The Incorporeal offers profound new insight into the mind-body problem

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Jason B. Dorwart contends that the material presence of visible disability disrupts the framing devices that provide safe distancing for theatre’s fictive nature. Conceptions of disability that place the disabled body into a permanently liminal space between life and death are directly at odds with theatrical performances, which are geared toward moving through liminality into a new point of stasis. Dorwart reveals how this contradiction leads to performance practices that work to marginalize and eliminate the presence of disabled bodies of both character and actor, as disabled characters have historically been written with different character arcs than nondisabled characters and with the assumption that they would be played by nondisabled actors. As more disabled actors gain exposure in film and theatre, the difference in how disabled characters are written is also increasingly affected by whether the role is intended for a disabled or nondisabled actor. These performances are enacting new means to performatively and figuratively reincorporate or eliminate the liminal disabled body. The Incorporeal Corpse demonstrates how recent plays and films try to rectify this tension between the permanence of disability and the transitory nature of performance. Scholars of theatre, disability studies, and performance studies will find this book of particular interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Incorporeal God: An insight into the higher realms This is an awakening collection of essays, lucidly manifested to discern fact from fiction, where epistemology and the innate knowledge of the higher parameter are truly cultivated. The Incorporeal God insightfully delves into the nature of God, existence, consciousness, the fine-tuning of the universe, and faith-oriented phenomena. The Incorporeal God is an eye-opening masterpiece that insightfully covers spirituality, psychology, morality, and expressing on the essential merits, but is not coerced or deliberate in provoking conflict. It penetrates socio-cultural, socio-economic, and socio-political renditions of our contemporary lifestyle. Compellingly enough, it quenches the thirst of those inquisitive minds and gratifies the curiosity of the intellectuals that are apt to acknowledge the authenticity of the magnificent traces of God that is explicit and evidenced to the human mind and the nervous system via our senses. Present-day attainment is in modern science, in the quantum world, the world of string theory and the like have astonished even the most scholarly minded scientists and prominent philosophers beyond the times of Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, placing them in awe. So many show reverence for the subatomic particles, the unseen world, as most attesting to what we do not see, manages what we see, leaving no chance to sustain ideologies infested with superstition and construed with the idolatrous reasoning for upholding the truth behind existence. It tackles the ambiguities head-on, facing God and existence, where the immaculate traces of our phenomenal universe can solely lead to a supreme being and infinitely intelligent designer. As scientists tell us, even mass energy wears out, which calls for a creator to harness and deal with it, since with energy depletion, no life, from its infinitesimal to cosmically macro-level, is ever possible. “Superstition sets the whole world in flame, philosophy quenches them” (Voltaire). we live in an awakening era, it seems that beautiful minds are influenced with premonition as if they are mandated with a mission to perform gynecology into the womb of Mother Nature and give birth to yet another treasure, leaping into unveiling the mysteries of nature’s obscurities to emancipate man from the clutches of ignorance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Volatile Bodies demonstrates that the sexually specific body is socially constructed: biology or nature is inherently social and has no pure or natural 'origin' outside culture. Being the raw material of social and cultural organization, it is subject to the endless rewriting and inscription that constitute all sign systems. Grosz demonstrates that the theories of, among others, Freud and Lacan theorize a male body. She then turns to corporeal experiences unique to women--menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, menopause--to lay the groundwork for new theories of sexed corporeality."--Back cover.
