With the publication of Parerga and Paralipomena in 1851, there finally came some measure of the fame that Schopenhauer thought was his due. Described by Schopenhauer himself as 'incomparably more popular than everything up till now', Parerga is a miscellany of essays addressing themes that complement his work The World as Will and Representation, along with more divergent, speculative pieces. It includes essays on method, logic, the intellect, Kant, pantheism, natural science, religion, education, and language. The present volume offers a new translation, a substantial introduction explaining the context of the essays, and extensive editorial notes on the different published versions of the work. This readable and scholarly edition will be an essential reference for those studying Schopenhauer, the history of philosophy, and nineteenth-century German philosophy.

Thomas Hill Green (1836-82) was one of the most influential English thinkers of his time, and he made significant contributions to the development of political liberalism. Much of his career was spent at Balliol College, Oxford: having begun as a student of Benjamin Jowett, he later acted effectively as his second-in-command at the college. Interested for his whole career in social questions, Green supported the temperance movement, the extension of the franchise, and the admission of women to university education. He became Whyte's professor of moral philosophy at Oxford in 1878, and his lectures had a lasting influence on a generation of students. Volume 3, published in 1888, contains a memoir by Nettleship, Green's pupil and editor, drawing on Green's recollections, as well as the memories of friends and family. The rest of the volume consists of essays on topics ranging from Aristotle to Christian dogma.

Fichte, Schelling e soprattutto Hegel disegnano, agli inizi dell’Ottocento, i grandi sistemi del pensiero idealista che culminerà con la rivoluzione materialista di Marx, con il positivismo e le filosofie che, come quella di Schopenhauer e Nietzsche, metteranno in crisi le grandi visioni unitarie del pensiero. L’Ottocento è anche l’età della scienza, con Darwin, la logica formale, la rivoluzione della termodinamica e le geometrie non euclidee e il secolo in cui si sviluppano le scienze umane: linguistica, antropologia, psicologia, sociologia. La filosofia novecentesca, segnata dalle riflessioni sul linguaggio, si articola nella pluralità delle grandi tradizioni, dal neokantismo alla fenomenologia, dallo storicismo alla filosofia analitica, dal neoidealismo all’esistenzialismo, dalla psicoanalisi ai marxismi, dalla semiotica allo strutturalismo, dalle teorie sull’intelligenza artificiale alle riflessioni contemporanee su etica e giustizia, sino alle neuroscienze cognitive e alla bioetica.

Welche Spuren hat Henri Bergson im französischen soziologischen Denken hinterlassen, was sind die sozial- und gesellschaftstheoretischen Effekte jenes Autors, dessen Bedeutung für das französische Denken generell kaum zu überschätzen ist?Die - oft impliziten, zuweilen auch absichtlich verdeckten - Bergson-Effekte im französischen soziologischen Denken werden entlang zweier konträrer Spuren aufgedeckt: Einerseits in den Aversionen gegen das (zunächst schlecht verstandene) bergsonsche Denken.Diese Aversionen waren konstitutiv, in ihnen hat sich thematisch und methodologisch die Bildung der französischen Soziologie ereignet. Andererseits werden die Attraktionen, die produktiven Übernahmen von Bergsons Denken in soziologischen Konzepten verfolgt, bei Autoren wie Gilles Deleuze, Cornelius Castoriadis, Gilbert Simondon oder GeorgesCanguilhem. Dabei erweist sich auch Bergsons Werk selbst als eines, das nicht nur philosophisch, sondern auch soziologisch neue Denkweisen bietet.Dieses Buch öffnet ein bislang ungeschriebenes Kapitel der Soziologiegeschichte - und ein neues Register soziologischer Theorie. Es entfaltet im Durchgang durch die bergsonianischen Werke ein diskretes Paradigma: eine lebenssoziologische Denkweise. Diese verbindet eine singuläre Theorie der Differenz (als Differentiation, permanentes Anders-Werden) mit einer singulären Perspektive der Immanenz (Körper, Artefakte, Materialität, Affekte und Diskurse, Imaginäres und Symbolisches in ihren Verschränkungen und Eigenlogiken denkend). Sichtbar wird ein Neuer Vitalismus, der das Leben als Subjekt und Objekt des Denkens anerkennt. Wie Bergson sagte, liegt 'auf dem Grund des Sozialen' das Vitale; und daher ist es 'stets der Aufenthalt, der eine soziologische Erklärung verlangt, und nicht die Bewegung'.

In this classic collection of wide-ranging and interdisciplinary essays, Stanley Cavell explores a remarkably broad range of philosophical issues from politics and ethics to the arts and philosophy. The essays explore issues as diverse as the opposing approaches of 'analytic' and 'Continental' philosophy, modernism, Wittgenstein, abstract expressionism and Schoenberg, Shakespeare on human needs, the difficulties of authorship, Kierkegaard and post-Enlightenment religion. Presented in a fresh twenty-first century series livery, and including a specially commissioned preface, written by Stephen Mulhall, illuminating its continuing importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, this influential work is now available for a new generation of readers.
