Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of "Sexby Judith ButlerISBN 0415903661 (0-415-90366-1)
Softcover, Routledge
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of "Sex'Book summary:In Bodies That Matter, Judith Butler further develops her distinctive theory of gender by examining the workings of power at the most "material" dimensions of sex and sexuality. Deepening the inquiries she began in Gender Trouble, Butler offers an original reformulation of the materiality of bodies, examining how the power of heterosexual hegemony forms the "matter" of bodies, sex, and gender.
Butler argues that power operates to constrain "sex" from the start, delimiting what counts as a viable sex. She offers a clarification of the notion of "performativity" introduced in Gender Trouble and explores the meaning of a citational politics. The text includes readings of Plato, Irigaray, Lacan, and Freud on the formation of materiality and bodily boundaries; "Paris is Burning," Nella Larsen's "Passing," and short stories by Willa Cather; along with a reconsideration of "performativity" and politics in feminist, queer, and radical democratic theory.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Dhammapada: The Sayings of the Buddha'Book summary:The Dhammapada is one of the most popular and accessible books of Buddhist scripture. Undoubtedly one of the greatest teachers in history, the Buddha has had an immeasurable influence on the human race. He taught that our suffering stems from desire and that the only way to remove desire is to purify the heart. Dhamma means law, discipline, justice, virtue, truth -- that which holds things together. Pada means way, path, step, foot. So, The Dhammapada is the path of virtue, or the way of truth. Thomas Byroms lyrical and aphoristic rendering of the Buddhas teaching reveals its practical and timeless simplicity.

For the Time Beingby Annie DillardISBN 0375703470 (0-375-70347-0)

› Find signed collectible books: 'For the Time Being'Book summary:Over the last three decades, Annie Dillard has written about an uncommon number of things--predators and prose, astronomy and evolution, the miraculous survival of mangroves. Yet the sheer range of her interests can be deceptive. Whatever the subject, Dillard is always (as she wrote in Living by Fiction) practicing unlicensed metaphysics in a teacup, always asking the fundamental questions about life and death. And this epistemological interrogation continues in For the Time Being. Here Dillard alternates accounts of her own travels to China and Israel with ruminations on sand, clouds, obstetrics, and Hasidic thought. She also records the wanderings of paleontologist and spade-wielding spiritualist Teilhard de Chardin, whose itinerary (geographical and philosophical) has certain similarities to her own. But as she ties together these disparate threads with truly Emersonian eloquence, it becomes clear that God's presence--or absence--is at the heart of her book.
There are, of course, facts aplenty here: the author is among our keenest living observers of the natural world (check out her soft-core account of two snails mating in chapter 7). But all roads lead Dillard back to God, who seems to be practicing a divine variant of benign neglect:
God is no more cogitating which among us he plans to be born as bird-headed dwarfs or elephant men--or to kill by AIDS or kidney failure, heart disease, childhood leukemia, or sudden infant death syndrome--than he is pitching lightning bolts at pedestrians, triggering rock slides, or setting fires. The very least unlikely things for which God might be responsible are what insurers call "acts of God."
Natural calamity is an old fascination of the author's, going clear back to Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Holy the Firm. Here it allows her to make her strongest argument yet on behalf of the Almighty's laissez-faire policy--while suggesting that His immanence in fact depends on our belief.Yet even in her earnest pursuit of holiness, Dillard tends to hit the occasional speed bump. At one point she throws up her hands in exasperation and declares: "I don't know beans about God." This is hardly the stuff of an airtight theological argument, is it? But happily, Dillard possesses the same quality she ascribes to Teilhard, "a sort of anaerobic capacity to batten and thrive on paradox." So her contradictions are worth more to the reader than her consistencies. They enrich her narrative, yanking her back from the precipice of easy (or even moderately easy) belief. And Dillard's penchant for paradox ensures that For the Time Being--which aims, after all, to encompass God and all his works--always operates on a human, heartbreaking scale. --James Marcus [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Friedrich Nietzsche: On the Genealogy of Morality'Book summary:Friedrich Nietzsche is one of the most influential thinkers of the past 150 years and On the Genealogy of Morality (1887) is his most important work on ethics and politics. A polemical contribution to moral and political theory, it offers a critique of moral values and traces the historical evolution of concepts such as guilt, conscience, responsibility, law and justice. This is a revised and updated 2006 edition of one of the most successful volumes to appear in Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought. Keith Ansell-Pearson modified his introduction to Nietzsche's classic text, and Carol Diethe incorporated a number of changes to the translation itself, reflecting the considerable advances in our understanding of Nietzsche. In this guise the Cambridge Texts edition of Nietzsche's Genealogy should continue to enjoy widespread adoption, at both undergraduate and graduate level. [via]

Great Thoughtsby George SeldesISBN 0345404289 (0-345-40428-9)
Softcover, Ballantine Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Great Thoughts'Book summary:Upon its publication, George Seldes's The Great Thoughts instantly took its place as a classic--a treasure house of the seminal ideas that have shaped the intellectual history of the world down through the ages. Seldes, a pivotal figure in the history of American journalism and a tireless researcher, spent the better part of his extraordinary lifetime compiling the thoughts that rule the world, casting his net widely and wisely through the essential works of philosophy, poetry, psychology, economics, politics, memoirs, and letters from the ancient Greeks to the modern Americans.
Now Seldes's splendid and important work has been revised and updated to include the great thoughts that have changed our world in the decade since the book's first appearance. Quotations from leaders as varied as Nelson Mandela, Lech Walesa, Yitzak Rabin, Newt Gingrich, and Jesse Jackson reflect the radical shifts in the world political scene. Toni Morrison and Cornel West speak out on the enduring vitality of African-American culture. Alvin Toffler and Arthur C. Clarke give us a glimpse into the future. Gloria Steinem and Monique Wittig define the motives and the goals of late twentieth-century feminism. Rachel Carson, Aldo Leopold, and Wallace Stegner ponder the meaning of wilderness in an increasingly populated and industrialized world. These and scores of other thinkers in all major disciplines have added their voices to this new edition of The Great Thoughts.
USA Today praised the first edition of The Great Thoughts as "a browser's delight." The work of a lifetime, brought up-to-date to reflect the global upheaval of the past decade, The Great Thoughts stands alone as an enduring achievement and an invaluable resource. [via] -
The Interpretation of Dreamsby Sigmund FreudISBN 0380010003 (0-380-01000-3)
Softcover, Harpercollins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Interpretation of Dreams'Book summary:Whether we love or hate Sigmund Freud, we all have to admit that he revolutionized the way we think about ourselves. Much of this revolution can be traced to The Interpretation of Dreams, the turn-of-the-century tour de force that outlined his theory of unconscious forces in the context of dream analysis. Introducing the id, the superego, and their problem child, the ego, Freud advanced scientific understanding of the mind immeasurably by exposing motivations normally invisible to our consciousness. While there's no question that his own biases and neuroses influenced his observations, the details are less important than the paradigm shift as a whole. After Freud, our interior lives became richer and vastly more mysterious.
These mysteries clearly bothered him--he went to great (often absurd) lengths to explain dream imagery in terms of childhood sexual trauma, a component of his theory jettisoned mid-century, though now popular among recovered-memory therapists. His dispassionate analyses of his own dreams are excellent studies for cognitive scientists wishing to learn how to sacrifice their vanities for the cause of learning. Freud said of the work contained in The Interpretation of Dreams, "Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime." One would have to feel quite fortunate to shake the world even once. --Rob Lightner [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life'Book summary:Thich Nhat Hanh's writing is deceptive in its subtlety. He'll go on and on with stories about tree-hugging or metaphors involving raw potatoes; he'll tell you how to eat mindfully, even how to breathe and walk; he'll suggest looking closely at a flower and to see the sun as your heart. As the Zen teacher Richard Baker commented, however, Nhat Hanh is "a cross between a cloud, a snail, and piece of heavy machinery." Sooner or later, it begins to sink in that Nhat Hanh is conveying a depth of psychology and a world outlook that require nothing less than a complete paradigm shift. Through his cute stories and compassionate admonitions, he gradually builds up to his philosophy of interbeing, the notion that none of us is separately, but rather that we inter-are. The ramifications are explosive. How can we mindlessly and selfishly pursue our individual ends, when we are inextricably bound up with everyone and everything else? We see an enemy not as focus of anger but as a human with a complex history, who could be us if we had the same history. Suffice it to say, that after reading Peace Is Every Step, you'll never look at a plastic bag the same way again, and you may even develop a penchant for hugging trees. --Brian Bruya [via]

Reconstruction in Philosophyby John DeweyISBN 0486434389 (0-486-43438-9)
Softcover, Dover Pubns

› Find signed collectible books: 'Reconstruction in Philosophy'Book summary:For those of us trying to make sense of the world and the institutions we devise to cope with it, John Dewey's Reconstruction in Philosophy offers tremendous insight. Writing a few years after World War I, the highly regarded American philosopher chose to embrace the modern sense of scientific optimism and apply it to the search for truth. He argued forcefully that our philosophical constructions are not based in reason, but only use higher thinking to justify themselves, and that we might find better ways of living if we examine our deepest beliefs and feelings with an eye toward their ultimate effects on us and others. This experimental philosophy, pragmatism, took several steps beyond the previous century's utilitarianism and was both hailed and reviled as a subsumption of philosophy and ethics into science.
Written as lectures, Reconstruction in Philosophy is marginally less dry than other philosophical tracts, but for readers new to the jargon, some sections can be slow-going. The pleasure of Dewey's works, though, comes from the intellectual stimulation of following a brilliant mind into then-uncharted epistemological territory. The last chapter, "Reconstruction As Affecting Social Philosophy," foreshadows so much 20th-century political thinking--from across the spectrum--that it ought to be required reading in high school civics classes. Did pragmatism change our lives for the better? The very fact that we can ask such a question is Dewey's legacy; the answer must remain an open question. --Rob Lightner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdrockh'Book summary:Sartor Resartus is Thomas Carlyle's most enduring and influential work. First published in serial form in Fraser's Magazine in 1833-1834, it was discovered by the American Transcendentalists. Sponsored by Ralph Waldo Emerson, it was first printed as a book in Boston in 1836 and immediately became the inspiration for the Transcendental movement. The first London trade edition was published in 1838. By the 1840s, largely on the strength of Sartor Resartus, Carlyle became one of the leading literary figures in Britain.[via]
Sartor Resartus became one of the important texts of nineteenth-century English literature, central to the Romantic movement and Victorian culture. At the time of Carlyle's death in 1881, more than 69,000 copies had been sold. The post-Victorian influence continued and extends to writers as diverse as Virginia Woolf and James Joyce, Willa Cather and Ernest Hemingway.
This edition of Sartor Resartus is the first publication of the work that uses all extant versions to create an accurate authorial text. This volume, the second in an eight-volume series, includes a complete textual apparatus as well as a historical introduction and full critical and explanatory annotation.More editions of Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdrockh:

The Search for the Perfect Languageby Umberto Eco, James Fentress, Jacques Le GoffISBN 0631205101 (0-631-20510-1)
Softcover, Wiley & Sons, Incorporated, John
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Search for the Perfect Language'Book summary:The idea that there once existed a language which perfectly and unambiguously expressed the essence of all possible things and concepts has occupied the minds of philosophers, theologians, mystics and others for at least two millennia. This is an investigation into the history of that idea and of its profound influence on European thought, culture and history.
From the early Dark Ages to the Renaissance it was widely believed that the language spoken in the Garden of Eden was just such a language, and that all current languages were its decadent descendants from the catastrophe of the Fall and at Babel. The recovery of that language would, for theologians, express the nature of divinity, for cabbalists allow access to hidden knowledge and power, and for philosophers reveal the nature of truth. Versions of these ideas remained current in the Enlightenment, and have recently received fresh impetus in attempts to create a natural language for artificial intelligence.
The story that Umberto Eco tells ranges widely from the writings of Augustine, Dante, Descartes and Rousseau, arcane treatises on cabbalism and magic, to the history of the study of language and its origins. He demonstrates the initimate relation between language and identity and describes, for example, how and why the Irish, English, Germans and Swedes - one of whom presented God talking in Swedish to Adam, who replied in Danish, while the serpent tempted Eve in French - have variously claimed their language as closest to the original. He also shows how the late eighteenth-century discovery of a proto-language (Indo-European) for the Aryan peoples was perverted to support notions of racial superiority.
To this subtle exposition of a history of extraordinary complexity, Umberto Eco links the associated history of the manner in which the sounds of language and concepts have been written and symbolized. Lucidly and wittily written, the book is, in sum, a tour de force of scholarly detection and cultural interpretation, providing a series of original perspectives on two thousand years of European History.
The paperback edition of this book is not available through Blackwell outside of North America. [via]

Selected Works of Frances Yatesby Frances A. YatesISBN 0415220432 (0-415-22043-2)
Hardcover, Taylor & Francis Group

› Find signed collectible books: 'Selected Works of Frances Yates'Book summary:The leading Renaissance scholar of her time, Frances Yates revolutionised the study of the history of art, science and ideas. She demonstrated that ideas and practices once considered marginal such as hermeticism and alchemy were actually at the forefront of the renaissance mind. Yates was a pioneer in her emphasis on visual culture and many of her works are richly illustrated with the iconography of symbolism of occult philosophy. Her magisterial studies address subjects as diverse as: Shakespeares last plays late medieval tapestry Italian renaissance philosophy the Rosicrucians For forty years of her life Frances Yates was associated with the Warburg Institute. Awarded a DBE for services to renaissance studies in 1977, she was a Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Society of Literature. This set provides immediate access to the work of this most important of late twentieth century philosophers. Volumes are also available individually. The Valois Tapestries 0415-22044-0 This extensively illustrated volume presents the extravagant tapestries of the Uffizi as documents, subtly woven into the fabric of cultural and political history. Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition 0415-22045-9 Giordano Bruno, perhaps the best-known philosopher of the Italian Renaissance, is here, for the first time, placed within the context of the Hermetic-Cabalist tradition. Yates explores how Renaissance Hermeticism stimulated new attitudes towards the cosmos and towards working with cosmic forces. Bruno emerges as a Hermetic Philosopher and magician with an unorthodox religious message. Even his support of Copernicus is associated with solar magic. This revolutionary reinterpretation profoundly affects our understanding of Bruno and of his death at the stake. The Art of Memory 0415-22046-7 Trained memory was of first importance in the ancient world before printing and paper for taking notes or writing down lectures were available. An art rose in response to this need which relied on architecture and could depend on faculties of intense visual memorization. In this volume, Yates traces this art of memory from Simonides through Aquinas to the Renaissance and the growth of scientific method. The Rosicrucian Enlightenment 0415-22047-5 The Rosicrucian Enlightenment is an enthralling reconstruction of an important yet largely forgotten phase in European thought. A stage between the Renaissance and the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century, the Rosicrucian Enlightenment was a striving for spiritual illumination as well as an attempt to advance scientific and intellectual knowledge. This book is the definitive work on the origins of Rosicrucian thought and its influence on politics and great thinkers in seventeenth-century Europe. Frances Yates focuses on the short-lived reign of Frederick, Elector Palatine, and his wife, the daughter of James I, as Winter King and Queen of Bohemia showing that this brief period was a Hermetic golden age, inspired by the Rosicrucian movement. The reconstruction of this phase of European history takes Rosicruianism beyond occult studies and makes it a concern for serious historical enquiry. The intellectual giants of this era, including Francis Bacon, Descartes and Newton, are seen here in new contexts that provide fresh insight into their thought. Among the many other personages and themes discussed are John Dee, Robert Boyles Invisible College, and the rise of the Royal Society and of Freemasonry. Astraea: The Imperial Theme in the Sixteenth Century 0415-22048-3 In this volume, Frances Yates attends to the political dimension of Renaissance thought. She examines the images and symbolism of religion and monarchy, especially in relation to the myth of Astraea. As well as being essential reading for historians of the Renaissance period, the book is of fundamental importance for students of the literature of the Elizabethan period. Frances Yates shows how Spensers Fairie Queene E grew out of the Accession Day Tilts and the imagery deployed in them, and demonstrates that Shakespeares preoccupation with Monarchy, with a rule of justice and purity as opposed to the forces of evil, grew out of the contemporary preoccupation with a religious imperial theme. The book as a whole forms a unity - an approach to history through imagery - and includes many illustrations, which are in themselves historical documents. Shakespeares Last Plays: A New Approach 0415-22049-1 Drawing together many years of research on Renaissance symbolism and the Hermetic tradition, Frances Yates tackles Shakespearean problems, with startlingly original results. Her approach makes possible a new interpretation of Cymbeline, relating its imagery to the revival of Tudor mythology the influence of the Tudor imperial reform and religious toleration in Henry VIII the role of magic in the last plays whose magical-mystical atmosphere is compared with that of the Rosicrucian movement in Germany with which it is suggested that Shakespeare was in sympathy Ben Jonsons attitude to Shakespeare. The book connects closely with Astraea and The Rosicrucian Enlightenment and it suggests entirely new and exciting routes into the understanding of Shakespeares attitude to the religious problems of his age. The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age 0415-220505 A central theme of this book is the history of Christian Cabala, the Christian interpretation of the Jewish mystical tradition. It was believed that when God gave the Law to Moses, he also gave a revelation of the secret meaning of the Law. This esoteric tradition was interpreted in a Christian sense by Pico della Mirandola, the founder of Christian Cabala, with which he associated Hermeticism. Part I discusses the occult philosophy in Renaissance and Reformation, showing its wide influence and reactions against it as magic. Part II traces the influence of the occult philosophy on major Elizabethan writers such as Spenser, Marlowe, Chapman and Shakespeare. A major theme throughout the book is the importance of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 in spreading Cabalist notions among Christians. The presence of Jewish influence in the Elizabethan age is hinted at, and the return of the Jews to England in the reign of Charles II is seen as the culmination of trends linking Albion with Jerusalem, even in the Elizabethan age. This is discussed in Part III. The book uses Frances Yatess other works on the Hermetic-Cabalist tradition, whilst attempting a new presentation of Christian Cabala. In her study of the imagery with which the poets express occult philosophy, she draws on her work Astraea E on the Elizabethan imperial reform. Lull & Bruno (Collected essays) 0415-22051-3 The essays collected here reprint the first sketches, dating from 1939 to 1960, which were to form Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition. They contain much material not used in that book, however, and they also look forward to what became The Art of Memory. Renaissance and Reform: The Italian Contribution (Collected essays) 0415-22052-1 This book brings together Frances Yatess research on Italian subjects, drawn from all periods of her long and distinguished career. Beginning with an account of how she first became involved with Italian cultural and intellectual history, the essays collected here cover a wide range of topics, some taking up and adding to themes explored in her books, others breaking new ground. Included are articles on aspects of Giordano Bruno, teachers of Italian in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, Shakespeare and the Platonic tradition, and a fourteenth century treatise on artificial memory, as well as essays on Paolo Sarpi, Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and on the Hebrew teachers of Pico della Mirandola and other philosophers of the Italian Renaissance. Ideas and Ideals in the North European Renaissance 0415-22239-7 This volume comprises Yatess papers and reviews on topics concerning England, France, the Netherlands and Germany during the epoch of the Renaissance and Reformation. The essays are drawn from all periods of Yatess long career and cover a wide range of subjects: English allegorical portraiture in the Elizabethan age Yatess early and late contributions on Shakespeare, Jonson, John Dee and Francis Bacon English Protestant attitudes to religious images and to martyrdom French drama Theocratic and apocalyptic politics European influence of printing and of Erasmus, Cornelius Agrippa, Copernicus and Newton. Also included is a selection from Yatess notes on her early publications and first acquaintance with the Warburg Institute as well as a brief autobiographical account of her early life. A full list of her writings completes the book and rounds out the picture of a remarkable historian. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sociable God'Book summary:In one of the first attempts to bring an integral dimension to sociology, Ken Wilber introduces a system of reliable methods by which to make testable judgments of the authenticity of any religious movement. A Sociable God is a concise work based on Wilber's "spectrum of consciousness" theory, which views individual and cultural development as an evolutionary continuum. Here he focuses primarily on worldviews (archaic, magic, mythic, mental, psychic, subtle, causal, nondual) and evaluates various cultural and religious movements on a scale ranging from egocentric to ethnocentric to worldcentric to Kosmic. By using this integral view, Wilber hopes, society would be able to discriminate between dangerous cults and authentic spiritual paths. In addition, he points out why these distinctions are crucial in understanding spiritual experiences and altered states of consciousness.
In a lengthy new introduction, the author brings the reader up to date on his latest integral thinking and concludes that, for the succinct and elegant way it argues for a sociology of depth, A Sociable God remains a clarion call for a greater sociology. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder'Book summary:Why do poets and artists so often disparage science in their work? For that matter, why does so much scientific literature compare poorly with, say, the phone book? After struggling with questions like these for years, biologist Richard Dawkins has taken a wide-ranging view of the subjects of meaning and beauty in Unweaving the Rainbow, a deeply humanistic examination of science, mysticism, and human nature. Notably strong-willed in a profession of bet-hedgers and wait-and-seers, Dawkins carries the reader along on a romp through the natural and cultural worlds, determined that "science, at its best, should leave room for poetry."
Inspired by the frequently asked question, "Why do you bother getting up in the morning?" following publication of his book The Selfish Gene, Dawkins set out determined to show that understanding nature's mechanics need not sap one's zest for life. Alternately enlightening and maddening, Unweaving the Rainbow will appeal to all thoughtful readers, whether wild-eyed technophiles or grumpy, cabin-dwelling Luddites. Excoriations of newspaper astrology columns follow quotes from Blake and Shakespeare, which are sandwiched between sparkling, easy-to-follow discussions of probability, behavior, and evolution. In Dawkins's world (and, he hopes, in ours), science is poetry; he ends his journey by referring to his title's author and subject, maintaining that "A Keats and a Newton, listening to each other, might hear the galaxies sing." --Rob Lightner [via]
