Familial Forms: Politics and Genealogy in Seventeenth-Century English Literature – Book $65 Familial Forms is the first full-length study to examine how literary writers engaged the politics of genealogy that helped define the century of revolution. By demonstrating how conflicts over the family-state analogy intersected with the period’s battles over succession, including: the ascent of James I, the execution of Charles I, disputes over the terms of the Interregnum government, the Restoration of Charles II, the Exclusion Crisis, the deposition of James II, the ascent of William and Mary, and Anne’s failure to produce a surviving heir, this study provides a new map of the seventeenth |

Nietzsche, Genealogy, Morality: Essays on Nietzsche’s"on the Genealogy of Morals" $18.43 Written at the height of the philosopher’s intellectual powers, Friedrich Nietzsche’s "On the Genealogy of Morals" has become one of the key texts of recent Western philosophy. Its essayistic style affords a unique opportunity to observe many of Nietzsche’s persisting concerns coming together in an illuminating constellation. A profound influence on psychoanalysis, antihistoricism, and poststructuralism and an abiding challenge to ethical theory, Nietzsche’s book addresses many of the major philosophical problems and possibilities of modernity. In this unique collection focusing on the "Genealogy," twenty-five notable philosophers offer diverse discussions of the book’s central themes and concepts. They explore such notions as "ressentiment," asceticism, "slave" and "master" moralities, and what Nietzsche calls "genealogy" and its relation to other forms of inquiry in his work. The book presents a cross section of contemporary Nietzsche scholarship and philosophical investigation that is certain to interest philosophers, intellectual and cultural historians, and anyone concerned with one of the master thinkers of the modern age. |

Truth and Truthfulness: An Essay in Genealogy $13.09 What does it mean to be truthful? What role does truth play in our lives? What do we lose if we reject truthfulness? No philosopher is better suited to answer these questions than Bernard Williams. Writing with his characteristic combination of passion and elegant simplicity he explores the value of truth and finds it to be both less and more than we might imagine. Modern culture exhibits two attitudes toward truth: suspicion of being deceived (no one wants to be fooled) and skepticism that objective truth exists at all (no one wants to be naive). This tension between a demand for truthfulness and the doubt that there is any truth to be found is not an abstract paradox. It has political consequences and signals a danger that our intellectual activities particularly in the humanities may tear themselves to pieces. Williams’s approach in the tradition of Nietzsche’s genealogy blends philosophy history and a fictional account of how the human concern with truth might have arisen. Without denying that we should worry about the contingency of much that we take for granted he defends truth as an intellectual objective and a cultural value. He identifies two basic virtues of truth Accuracy and Sincerity the first of which aims at finding out the truth and the second at telling it. He describes different psychological and social forms that these virtues have taken and asks what ideas can make best sense of them today. Truth and Truthfulness presents a powerful challenge to the fashionable belief that truth has no value but equally to the traditional faith that its value guarantees itself. Bernard Williams shows us that when we lose a sense of the value of truth we lose a lot both politically and personally and may well lose everything. |

Contesting Conversion: Genealogy, Circumcision, and Identity in Ancient Judaism and Christianity $71.99 Matthew Thiessen offers a nuanced study of the nature of Jewish thought with regard to Jewishness, circumcision, and conversion. Examining texts from the Hebrew Bible, Second Temple Judaism, and early Christianity, he gives a compelling account of the various forms of Judaism from which the early Christian movement arose. Beginning with analysis of the Hebrew Bible, Thiessen argues that there is no evidence that circumcision was considered to be a rite of conversion to Israelite religion. In fact, circumcision, particularly the infant circumcision practiced within Israelite and early Jewish society, excluded from the covenant those not properly descended from Abraham. In the Second Temple period, many Jews began to subscribe to a Jewishness that enabled Gentiles to become Jews. Other Jews found this definition of Jewishness problematic, and defended their own definition by reasserting a strictly genealogical conception of Jewish identity. As a result, some Gentiles who underwent conversion to Judaism in this period faced criticism because of their suspect genealogy. This examination of the way in which Jews in the Second Temple period perceived circumcision and conversion allows a deeper understanding of early Christianity. Contesting Conversion shows that careful attention to a definition of Jewishness that was based on genealogical descent has important implications for understanding the variegated nature of early Christian mission to the Gentiles in the first century c.e. |

Between Genealogy and Epistemology: Psychology, Politics, and Knowledge in the Thought of Michel Foucault $32.53 May offers a clear and cogent response to the question which other philosophers have most often found troubling in Foucault’s work: how can Foucault’s genealogies of power/knowledge in the human sciences be justified?-Joseph Rouse, Wesleyan University"In spite of the immense industry of Foucault scholarship, Todd May has managed to write a very trim study that shows how Foucault avoids certain self-referential paradoxes almost always brought against him: in particular, the perils of relativism and the normalization of discourse. The result is notably uncluttered."-Joseph Margolis, Temple UniversityMichel Foucault introduced a new form of political thinking and discourse. Rather than seeking to understand the grand unities of state, economy, or exploitation, he tried to discover the micropolitical workings of everyday life that have often founded the greater unities. He was particularly concerned with how we understand ourselves psychologically, and thus with how psychological knowledge developed and came to be accepted as true. In the course of his writings, he developed a genealogy of psychology, an account of psychology as a historically developed practice of power.The problem such an account raises for much of traditional philosophy is that Foucault’s critique of psychological concepts is ultimately a critique of the idea of the mind as a politically neutral ontological concept. As such, it renders politically suspect all forms of subjective foundationalism, and the epistemological justification for Foucault’s own writings is then called into question. Drawing on the writings of such Anglo-American philosophers as Wilfrid Sellars and Ludwig Wittgenstein, Todd May refutes the ideathat Foucault’s critiques of knowledge, and especially psychological knowledge, undermine themselves. |

Whex Hesiod fabled the god of oaths to be the son of Discord, the post could hardly have foreseen the grhn reality that would attach to his satiric allegory. It is now a very small thing—a matter of no consequence at all—that serious and well-meaning men once attested their assertions by making passing reference to Minerva or Helios. But yet is it none the less necessary to realise that they made such reference for the express purpose of being believed, and that when not pronouncing one or other of these forms of speech, they ran a strong chance of being absolutely disbelieved. ^ Hesiod has dimly chronicled the genealogy of oaths.

Fancy the mortal distress of barbarian man when he first wakes to the belief that his enemies can, by smooth speech, wrest from his hands what his prowess or his labour has acquired.

A Genealogy of Literary Multiculturalism $59.95 As an anthropology student studying with Franz Boas, Zora Neale Hurston recorded African American folklore in rural central Florida, studied hoodoo in New Orleans and voodoo in Haiti, talked with the last ex-slave to survive the Middle Passage, and collected music from Jamaica. Her ethnographic work would serve as the basis for her novels and other writings in which she shaped a vision of African American Southern rural folk culture articulated through an antiracist concept of culture championed by Boas: culture as plural, relative, and long-lived. Meanwhile, a very different antiracist model of culture learned from Robert Park’s sociology allowed Richard Wright to imagine African American culture in terms of severed traditions, marginal consciousness, and generation gaps. In A Genealogy of Literary Multiculturalism, Christopher Douglas uncovers the largely unacknowledged role played by ideas from sociology and anthropology in nourishing the politics and forms of minority writers from diverse backgrounds. Douglas divides the history of multicultural writing in the United States into three periods. The first, which spans the 1920s and 1930s, features minority writers such as Hurston and D’Arcy McNickle, who were indebted to the work of Boas and his attempts to detach culture from race. The second period, from 1940 to the mid-1960s, was a time of assimilation and integration, as seen in the work of authors such as Richard Wright, Jade Snow Wong, John Okada, and Ralph Ellison, who were influenced by currents in sociological thought. The third period focuses on the writers we associate with contemporary literary multiculturalism, including Toni Morrison, N. Scott Momaday, Frank Chin, Ishmael Reed, and Gloria Anzaldúa. Douglas shows that these more recent writers advocated a literary nationalism that was based on a modified Boasian anthropology and that laid the pluralist grounds for our current conception of literary multiculturalism.Ultimately, |

An Introduction To American Institutional History Written For This Series $20.77 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:MR. FREEMAN’S VISIT TO BALTIMORE. By Te Editor. Mr. Freeman came to America in the fall of 1881, on the joint invitation of the Lowell Institute in Boston and of the Peabody Institute in Baltimore. The united influence of these two local institutions, representing the intellectual union of Northern and Southern cities, was seconded by two other influences of a local character: first, by Mr. Freeman’s natural desire to visit his own son, who married in Baltimore and who now lives upon a plantation in Virginia ; secondly, by an ardent longing to see with his own eyes a New England Town Meeting, which, in the genealogy of local institutions, is a long-lost child of Old England and a grandchild of the Fatherland. The historian of ” The English People in their Three Homes ” regards the local institutions of the United States, North and South, as the historic offspring of England and Germany, as truly as his own name, once applied to all freemen of the English Colonies in America, is directly perpetuated by children and grandchildren in the Old Dominion, where he indulged what he pleasantly calls ” oldfatherly emotions towards the last-born bairn’s bairn,” and where, true to historical impulses, he began a ” Virginia Domesday ” in the old forms : ” Freeman tenet; Belt tenuit Ante Ouerram. Valebnt . . . dollarios; modo . . . Wastefuit.” With the grim humor of William the Conqueror, who, when he fell to the earth upon landing at Pevensey, grasped the soil and thus took seizin of England, Mr. Freeman describes his son’s territorial conquest upon the shore of the Rapidan, ” Potuit ire quo voluit cum ista terra, for the soil of the Old Dominion sticketh to the boots and is carried about hither and thither! ” This extract from a letter dated Somerleaze, Rapid Ann Depot, Cul- |

Between Genealogy And Epistemology $25.95 May offers a clear and cogent response to the question which other philosophers have most often found troubling in Foucault’s work: how can Foucault’s genealogies of power/knowledge in the human sciences be justified?-Joseph Rouse, Wesleyan University”In spite of the immense industry of Foucault scholarship, Todd May has managed to write a very trim study that shows how Foucault avoids certain self-referential paradoxes almost always brought against him: in particular, the perils of relativism and the normalization of discourse. The result is notably uncluttered.”-Joseph Margolis, Temple UniversityMichel Foucault introduced a new form of political thinking and discourse. Rather than seeking to understand the grand unities of state, economy, or exploitation, he tried to discover the micropolitical workings of everyday life that have often founded the greater unities. He was particularly concerned with how we understand ourselves psychologically, and thus with how psychological knowledge developed and came to be accepted as true. In the course of his writings, he developed a genealogy of psychology, an account of psychology as a historically developed practice of power.The problem such an account raises for much of traditional philosophy is that Foucault’s critique of psychological concepts is ultimately a critique of the idea of the mind as a politically neutral ontological concept. As such, it renders politically suspect all forms of subjective foundationalism, and the epistemological justification for Foucault’s own writings is then called into question. Drawing on the writings of such Anglo-American philosophers as Wilfrid Sellars and Ludwig Wittgenstein, Todd May refutes the idea that Foucault’s critiques of knowledge, and especially psychological knowledge, undermine themselves. |

Bloodless Genealogies of the French Middle Ages: Translatio, Kinship, and Metaphor $34 Used – Zrinka Stahuljak reevaluates, in Old French literature and art, two concepts fundamental for the medieval period: genealogy and “translatio.” She argues that literary criticism has inherited the definition of genealogy developed by historians, wherein genealogy is defined as a bloodline linking fathers and sons from generation to generation.

Conceptual Art $27.68 Conceptual Art is part of Phaidon’s Themes & Movements series, a group of groundbreaking sourcebooks on the prevailing art tendencies of our times. Each Themes & Movement book includes a complete overview of the given theme, situating individual artists’ works in the context of modern art. The documents include artists’ statements, interviews, manifestos, project notes, reviews and articles by key critics, and parallel texts from other cultural, philosophical, and literary sources. Each book includes an introductory essay charting the genealogy of the theme or movement, as well as approximately 250 plates of artworks, including rarely published installation shots and preliminary drawings. Finally, each book includes biographies of all of the artists and authors involved, as well as a comprehensive bibliography. They are intended for uninitiated readers and scholars alike.Conceptual Art reveals the revolution that took place when a whole generation of artists experimented with the idea of art as an idea. The text illustrates how artists challenged traditional notions of the art object through unprecedented use of language, actions, processes, and forms derived from mass media. Conceptual Art was a major influence on all subsequent art movements, so its study provides an indispensable key to understanding contemporary art. This book is one of the most rigorous, authoritative surveys available of a movement which made a major contribution to the history of thought, with an influence far beyond America and Europe. It is edited by Peter Osborne, a notable philosopher of art. |

Conjuring the Real: The Role of Architecture in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Fiction $35 In the Western world the period from the mid-eighteenth through the nineteenth century was a time of expanding historical consciousness, a period that saw the birth of modern historiography, a profusion of historical novels and paintings, and the widespread production of historical plays. Historical buildings, in themselves already of intense interest to people of the day, also found their way into the multiplying cultural forms as concrete presences anchoring a novelist’s, poet’s, painter’s, or, eventually, filmmaker’s vision of the past. In recent years a number of blockbuster films have used historically significant buildings as filming locations because buildings can concretely bring a former era or fictional world closer to contemporary viewers. Conjuring the Real traces the genealogy of this representational role of architecture, going back through the history of film and then further in literature, art, and theater. The contributors examine the ways in which authors, artists, and stage managers used complex depictions of buildings to feed and shape the audience’s historical imagination. How can we understand the significance of architecture, not through its original design and construction but through the ways in which the public experiences, perceives, and understands it? The contributors pursue this question through the ideas of secondary portrayers of historical buildings, such as writers and artists, and then through the responses of those who read and view these creations. |
