In A Theory of Regret Brian Price contends that regret is better understood as an important political emotion than as a form of weakness. Price shows how regret allows us to see that our convictions are more often the products of our perceptual habits than the authentic signs of moral courage that we more regularly take them to be. Regret teaches us to give up our expectations of what we think should or might occur in the future, and also the idea that what we think we should do will always be the right thing to do. Understood instead as a mode of thoughtfulness, regret helps us to clarify our will in relation to the decisions we make within institutional forms of existence. Considering regret in relation to emancipatory theories of thinking, Price shows how the unconditionally transformative nature of this emotion helps us become more sensitive to contingency and allows us, in turn, to recognize the steps we can take toward changing the institutions that shape our lives.

This book is a collection of all the single authored essays by Paul Cilliers, published between 1990-2011. Being one of few authors who approached the study of complexity from a philosophical perspective, the main themes in these papers explore:- Qualitative characterization of complexity and the normative implications of studying complex adaptive systems,- the philosophical and conceptual similarity to post-structural approaches- how any engagement with complexity leads to a critical engagement with how we do science and design interventions- critical and normative implications for how to engage with complex socio-political concerns in the world. What makes this book unique is that it consolidates a body of work that is distributed over a wide range of academic journals. Although his book "Complexity and Postmodernism" (Routledge, 1998) remains a cornerstone in the field of complexity studies, Cilliers’ journal essays really explore the application of the theoretical concepts in more depth. His ground-breaking ideas conceptualized in these essays have served as a continual source of novelty and inspiration in the process of applying complexity thinking to other fields of study.

Die Erfahrung digitaler Schriftlichkeit hat nicht bloß die Materialität der Schrift bewusster gemacht, sondern auch die gegenwärtige Schriftpraxis als eine maschinell bedingte offenbart. Von diesem Befund ausgehend, nehmen die Beiträger*innen des Bandes die Agentialität der Schrift genauer in den Blick und prüfen auch für die analoge Praxis, welche Handlungsmacht sie besitzt. Mit ihrem Blick auf nicht-menschliche Aktanten sowie die Aktivität von Schrift machen sie deren spezifische Agentialität deutlich und geben rückwirkend Aufschluss über das weiterhin vage Konzept der Schriftlichkeit.

L’ambition de ce volume, qui rassemble des études sur des écrivains de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle (Italo Calvino, Antonio Tabucchi) et du début du XXIe siècle (Bruno Arpaia, Rafael Chirbes, Julio Llamazares, Walter Siti, Gonçalo M. Tavares, Giorgio Vasta), est d’interroger le retour du refoulé historique dans la littérature contemporaine de l’Italie, de l’Espagne et du Portugal à partir du concept de spectralité forgé par Jacques Derrida. De nombreuses œuvres littéraires semblent recourir au spectre pour figurer un nouveau régime d’historicité mais aussi un temps présent désarticulé et hétérogène et perçu comme de plus en plus en manque de réel. En effet, « revenant » du passé ou projection paradoxale du présent, le spectre marque un point irrésolu de l’histoire tout en révélant les enjeux fondamentaux de notre temps.

"For Strasbourg consists of a series of essays and interviews by French philosopher and literary theorist Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) about the city of Strasbourg and the philosophical friendships he developed there over a forty year period.

Written just months before his death, the opening essay of the collection, "The place name(s): Strasbourg," recounts in great detail, and in very moving terms, Derrida's deep attachment to this French city on the border between France and Germany. More than just a personal narrative, however, it is a profound interrogation of the relationship between philosophy and place, philosophy and language, and philosophy and friendship. As such, it raises a series of philosophical, political, and ethical questions that might all be placed under the aegis of what Derrida once called "philosophical nationalities and nationalism." The other three texts included here are long interviews/conversations between Derrida and his two principal interlocutors in Strasbourg, Jean-Luc Nancy and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. These interviews are significant both for the themes they focus on (language, politics, friendship, death, life after death, and so on) and for what they reveal about Derrida's relationships to Nancy and Lacoue-Labarthe. Filled with sharp insights into one another's work and peppered with personal anecdotes and humor, they bear witness to the decades-long intellectual friendships of these three important contemporary thinkers. This collection thus stands as a reminder of and testimony to Derrida's relationship to Strasbourg and to the two thinkers most closely associated with that city"--
