Product Description
In this book Gary Gutting tells, clearly and comprehensively, the story of French philosophy from 1890 to 1990. He examines the often neglected background of spiritualism, university idealism, and early philosophy of science, and also discusses the privileged role of philosophy in the French education system. Taking account of this background, together with the influences of avant-garde literature and German philosophy, he develops a rich account of existential phenomenology, which he argues is the central achievement of French thought during the century, and of subsequent structuralist and poststructuralist developments.Gary Gutting is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame and a leading authority on the work of Michel Foucault. In addition to continental philosophy, he has done important work in philosophy of science and philosophy of religion. Gutting is the author of several books, including Michel Foucault's Archaeology of Scientific Knowledge (Cambridge, 1989), Pragmatic Liberalism and the Critique of Modernity (Cambridge, 1999), and the editor of The Cambridge Companion to Foucault (Cambridge, 1994).Amazon.com Review
French philosophers have a reputation as some of the most perplexing. American readers tend to dismiss them with a huff or venerate them over cigarettes and coffee. Gary Gutting does neither. His approach in French Philosophy in the Twentieth Century is scholarly, judicious, and clear. The result is an exceptional look at a rich philosophical tradition. Gutting is one of the world's leading authorities on the work of Michel Foucault, and his depth on the century's other Gallic thinkers is comparable. The book is more than a general survey; it is a careful history of ideas, as well as an excellent series of essays on the main French thinkers of the last 100 years.

Gutting devotes much of his time to the half dozen giants of recent French thought: Henri Bergson, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, and Jacques Derrida. Of course, there are legions of other influences--such as Marcel, Saussure, Lévi-Strauss, Lacan, Kristeva, Lyotard, Deleuze, Irigaray, Levinas--and these get attention too, though in fewer pages. Gutting weaves the book together with a narrative history that accounts for the influences of literature and German thought. In addition, the carefully selected chapter epigraphs do more than supplement the text; they are windows into the vivid philosophy of Marcel Proust's literature. --Eric de Place ... Read more

A great read!
Gutting's book is packed with ideas and the treatment is crystal clear, concise, and surprisingly comprehensive.This is a wonderful book, written with real love, insight, and just a touch of nostalgia for a world unknown to many philosophers in the English-speaking world.I know of no better introduction to the last century of French philosophy, which Gutting shows to be an amazingly rich tapestry of thought.You'll definitely get your money's worth; just don't assume that reading this book will save you any time:It's so engaging that you'll finish it with a reading list of primary sources half a mile high! ...

Review of Copleston's History, Volume Seven
My Credentials:

I'm merely a student of philosophy for the time being, not a teacher, so I'm no scholar. I have, however, read Copleston through the seventh volume, so I'm certainly a veteran of his History; I know its strengths and weaknesses.

Review:

The volume does a wonderful job of delineating the complex systems of metaphysical idealism, which I was somewhat intimated to approach. Copleston is esoterically extensive in his consideration of Fitche, Schelling and Hegel. Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard are well-treated.

The volume is also strong in its covering of minor thinkers (as are ALL Copleston volumes).

The volume is utterly pathetic in its examination of the twentieth-century German titans: Husserl and Hiedegger. I would also argue that it is weak in its examination of Nietzsche, but I may be over estimating this philosopher's position in history.

Good overview of mostly terrible philosophers
After Kant left wreckage of classical philosophy, but leaving fundamental flaws in his own Copernican Revolution, it seems the people after him took to such lengths as to add to his errors, hence the dawning of the idealists.

They were obsessed with the idea of subject and object.The idealists thought that there was an infinite will.They started with Philosophy of the first science, stating fundamental truths.Why are they fundamental truths?Because they said so.Hence was the problem.They threw around infinite will, absolute ego, absolute consciousness, ad nauseum until it made you wonder whether they had any idea what they were talking about.

The main problem is that they essentially thought the individual is the way the absolute ego becomes conscious of himself, so in essence we're all the same unified blob that simply thinks we're completely separate entities.They keep talking about self-realization and other warm fuzzies that just struck this reader as silly sophistry.

In all honesty, Fichte and Schelling had some good things to say, though their underlying mentality was flawed.Hegel was nauseating, and the worst case of mental masturbation this reader has ever encountered.Copleston defended Hegel a few times, essentially saying "It isn't completely empty-headed blather, hear him out a little."No, it really was that dumb.

After their silly ponderings the cynical but down to earth writing of Schopenhauer was welcomed.

It's really a shame such little space was devoted to Kierkegaard, who had more poignant things to say than all the idealists combined.Nietzsche gets more attention, but his musings are less philosophical investigations as vicious ranting.

A shame Copleston chose to focus so much on such lightweights, but this reader might have missed something too.

The Best Introduction to Philosophy Out There!
Copleston's series, "The History of Philosophy", is quite possibly the best introduction to the history of philosophical thought that has ever been published and certainly the best currently in print.

You will be hard pressed to find a better collection of solid philosophical surveys in one place.The beauty of the series is that Copleston has clearly done his research on each period and each thinker of Western philosophy.

I cannot recommend this series any more highly.It is a must-have collection for anyone who is a scholar (professional or casual) of philosophy, theology or any of the arts.

If this isn't on your bookshelf, it should be!

Modern Philosophy: An Anthology features a broad range of selections from important but seldom anthologized works in the philosophy of psychology, natural science, morality, politics and religion.

• Features a broad range of selections from works in the philosophy of psychology, natural science, morality, politics and religion.
  
• Places the modern thinkers in conversation with each other, including Leibniz on Descartes and Spinoza, Reid on Locke and Hume, and Kant on Hobbes.
  
• Offers important, but seldom anthologized primary works.

Product Description

Kant’s "Critique of Pure Reason" is so outstanding among modern philosophical works, that it can be termed "the" foundation of modern philosophy. Schopenhauer termed it "the most important book ever to have been written in Europe." Otfried Höffe guides the reader through the "Critique" one step at a time, expounding Kant’s thoughts, submitting them to an interpretation and drawing a summary conclusion, placing the work and its topics within the context of its modern successors. A "critical" interpretation of Kant’s text reveals that he had something to say on many discussions that are said to have originated after his death. Reducing his argumentation to its central tenets, it can be made stronger and applicable to current problems. Kant’s eventual concern, however, even when writing theoretical philosophy, lay with the practical. Elaborating this concern and its connection to Kant’s theoretical philosophy is a prime tenet of this book.

Product Description
The philosophy of Immanuel Kant is the watershed of modern thought, which irrevocably changed the landscape of the field and prepared the way for all the significant philosophical movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This volume, which complements The Cambridge Companion to Kant, covers every aspect of Kant's philosophy, with a particular focus on his moral and political philosophy. It also provides detailed coverage of Kant's historical context and of the enormous impact and influence that his work has had on the subsequent history of philosophy. The bibliography also offers extensive and organized coverage of both classical and recent books on Kant. This volume thus provides the broadest and deepest introduction currently available on Kant and his place in modern philosophy, making accessible the philosophical enterprise of Kant to those coming to his work for the first time. ...

Excellent, but...
I read the first edition of the book (Anchor paperback, 1965), and I concur with the other reviewer that it is a first-rate brief introduction to Wittgenstein's work.

The short biographical introduction has a big problem, however. About LW's service in WWI, Hartnack writes, "At the outbreak of the first World War he enlisted in the Austrian army, was trained to be an officer, but was taken prisoner by the Italians at the time of the Austrian debacle."That makes it sound like LW took the officer route, was quickly captured, then sat out the war.Well, as they say, that could hardly be further from the truth.

According to Martin Gilbert's, 'The First World War," LW won the Silver Medal for Valour Second Class as a lance corporal, "a rare honor for someone of such a low rank."This was in June of 1916, on the Eastern Front.In July 1917, he won the Silver Medal for Valour as an artillery observer, directing the guns under "heavy fire," again against the Russians.In June 1918 he was recommended for Austria's highest award, the Gold Medal for Valour, for "exceptionally courageous behavior," this time in a fierce artillery and machinegun duel with the British, in which his "heroism won the total admiration of the troops."Wittgenstein was not captured until November of 1918, at the virtual end of the war.

And, incredibly, it was during these years of combat that he wrote the 'Tractatus,' delivering the manuscript to Russell at the end of the war.

Excellent Introduction to Wittgenstein - Clear and Concise
Sometimes fortune favors me. Recently I discovered a gem, an intriguing book by an author new to me. Wittgenstein and Modern Philosophy, a 153-page book by the Danish philosopher Justus Hartnack, was an exceptional find.

Hartnack writes with clarity. His style is informal, but not verbose. He systematically explores Wittgenstein's key arguments and discusses counter arguments. His helpful footnotes consist mainly of direct quotes from Wittgenstein's Tractatus and from his Philosophical Investigations. Wittgenstein and Modern Philosophy is a superb introduction not only to Wittgenstein, but also to twentieth century analytic philosophy.

Hartnack begins by systematically examining the seven propositions advanced by Wittgenstein in his remarkable work titled The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. In the following chapter, Tractatus and Logical Positivism, he explores the growth of logical positivism, and it close relationship to (and points of departure from) Wittgenstein's thought.

Next, Hartnack discusses Wittgenstein's later work, PhilosophicalInvestigations, an equally innovative work in which Wittgenstein challenges his own (earlier) thoughts in the Tractatus. The final chapter, Contemporary Philosophical Investigations, outlines more recent work by Gilbert Ryle, Peter Strawson, H. L. A. Hart, and J. O. Urmson.

I highly recommend Justus Hartnack's study of Wittgenstein's analysis of the connection between philosophical problems and language. Hartnack's lucid examination of Wittgenstein's philosophy should appeal to a wide range of readers.

I received what i asked for, although it took longer than i expected it was delivered within the set time and the description was accurate

Review
The book was in great condition except for a razor slice in the back. It was shipped in a timley manner as well.

extremely helpful
this book is extremely helpful for my class and the amount of time it took to get here was a life saver seeing it showed up right before my first assignment it was also much cheaper than anywhere else which saved me more than half the money i had.

Aesthetics for the True Student
This book is filled with primary texts. It does not contain a guide per se to understanding each selection. However, I think this is exactly what is needed in a philosophy anthology. The selections were definitely limited to ancient to modern texts and this leaves out post modern writings on aesthetics. I enjoyed the book it contained a good range of thinkers from Tolstoy, Hume and Kant. ... Read more

As always, excellent
One could almost say that volume 2 was a buildup to volume 3.In volume 2 Scholasticism and Neoplatonism was forged from Greek philosophy in order to create a Christian worldview.While there were changes made, like Aquinas modifying some of the conjectures of Aristotle and Augustine doing the same of Platonism, there was no real direct attack on these two thinkers.Aristotle's philosophy was almost synonymous with philosophy instead of a subset of philosophy.

Here some of the doors are burst wide open, lead mostly by William of Ockham.Here he tears apart much of Aquinas's proofs for the existence of God, attacked many of the traditional ideas concerning universals, and paved the way to the emphasis on empirical study.Whether one agrees or not with the man, his thought was a much needed critique of established wisdom that too often degraded to spurious conjecture.

There is some modified Scholasticism in the book by Suarez, who extends much of what Aquinas wrote, ans well as political philosophy developedmuch in part by the tension between Papal power and the powers of the State.Indeed, there is much here that paved the way for a new form of republic to emerge, as many of the philosophers states(rightly in my opinion), that political power was derived by God through the people, and a tyrant has no right of Authority.

Like always, Copleston treats everyone fairly, and most certainly seems to have done his research given the depth of knowledge and a staggering bibliography.If you have time to tackle Copleston, you'll be rewarded for doing so.

Very useful tool in any serious study od philosophy
Despite a lack in deep understanding of the subject itself, the work of Mr Copleston is a big contribution to the realm of philosophy. In his book we may always find detail historical facts often missing under similar titles in the books of other authors, however more prominent in their speculative backgrounds. Very interesting, particularly in this volume nr.3, which comprises the period of scholastic, is his own, less historical, views and standpoints toward the philosophy. If not a real philosophical deed, this book is indeed a challenge to every philosopher. ... Read more

Product Description

"... no other book undertakes to relate all these French philosophers to each other the way that [Lawlor] does, brilliantly." -- François Raffoul

For many, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Gilles Deleuze represent one of the greatest movements in French philosophy. But these philosophers and their works did not materialize without a philosophical heritage. In Thinking through French Philosophy, Leonard Lawlor shows how the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty formed an important current in sustaining the development of structuralism and post-structuralism. Seeking the "point of diffraction," or the specific ideas and concepts that link Derrida, Foucault, and Deleuze, Lawlor discovers differences and convergences in these thinkers who worked the same terrain. Major themes include metaphysics, archaeology, language and documentation, expression and interrogation, and the very experience of thinking. Lawlor's focus on the experience of the question brings out critical differences in immanence and transcendence. This illuminating and provocative book brings new vitality to debates on contemporary French philosophy.

A Great Thinker
Lawlor is sort of a new name among the continental philosophy crowd, but he's nonetheless a force to be reckoned with.His first book on Derrida and Husserl probed the relationship between those titans in such depth and with such precision that, in the end, the detail wound up being a bit maddening.A tough book, but a wonderful book as well.
For those unfamiliar with Lawlor's style, a few things should be brought to your attention.Lawlor is a scholar and a gentleman, first of all, which means that he is citation crazy and often seems to lack a sense of humor.It's not that he's prolix or turgid, it's simply that he embodies one of Nietzsche's aphorisms, writing with "a yes, a no, a straight line, a goal;" and he never cracks jokes.
Second of all, this scholarly mode of exposition isn't a drawback necessarily, as he is a particularly lucid writer, especially when you consider the muddle he wafts through and the sheer immensity of the project he's undertaking---namely, investigating the "points of diffraction" between the french philosophers of the 60s and drawing some very general, and much-needed, conclusions from it all.Any reader will appreciate the care with which he treats his subjects, which if not uncontroversial in its conclusions, is always clear about the path he follows in reaching them.
Thirdly and lastly, this books here is simply a watershed, and "merely" a segment of a grand project which Lawlor has been promising since the Derrida and Husserl book.He plunges into the mucky morass of everyone from Foucault, Merleau-Ponty, and Deleuze, to Derrida, Levinas, and others--bouncing them off of one other with an ease that would make any aspiring philosopher green with envy.
The plot spoiler is that Lawlor feels the basic enterprise of phenomenology has been superceded by the Deleuzes, the Foucaults, and the Derridas, and, ultimately, as his next book argues, by the Bergsons.He claims we need "a name" for this new post-phenomenological enterprise, and while we may not get it here, we do get the next best thing: the understanding that goes along with it.
Highly recommended. ... Read more

Product Description
What is, what was the human? This book argues that the making of the human as it is now understood implies a renogotiation of the relationship between the self and the world. The development of Renaissance technologies of difference such as mapping, colonialism and anatomy paradoxically also illuminated the similarities between human and non-human. This collection considers the borders between humans and their imagined others: animals, women, native subjects, machines. It examines border creatures (hermaphrodites, wildmen, and cyborgs) and border practices (science, surveying, and pornography).

Review Of Copleston's Eighth Volume, History Of Philosophy
My Credentials:

I'm merely a student of philosophy, not a teacher, so I can hardly speak from a scholarly position. However, I have read Copleston through the eighth volume, and so I would freely refer to myself as a vetern of his work; I know its strengths and weaknesses.

Review:

The volume opens with an impressive account of utilitarian philosophy, and carries on to cover a variety of empiricist and agnostic philosophers.

The entries on Bradley, Bosanquet and the British idealists seem a bit excessive, whereas the writings on Emerson are minimal and Thoreau is given a one line mention. It may be that I speak from an American bias.

Pragmatism is covered in fair measure, followed closely be a well-rounded exposition on the analytic movement and Russell. Admittedly, Copleston devolves toward the close of the work. His biography of Russell is scattered throughout all three sections on the philosopher, and his conclusion should be renamed "scattered notes on Wittgenstein and neo-positivism," both of which are poorly covered.

Some non-thematic notes about this volume. Copleston begins adding a noticeable amount of British slang (nothing that can't be found quickly through Google, mind you).

When language takes a holiday
This was a painful slog to get through.The other books were a pretty in depth read but still kept your interest.This was just brutally boring.The issue was the quality of the philosophy being stated.

We have the utilitarians with their statement of "the greatest good for the most people", which when analyzed is a nonsense statement because they never adequately define what is good.Luckily G.E. Moore pounded on a lot of the utilitarian's thinking with the "naturalistic fallacy",.

We have more of the idealists, and the fuzzy sophistry that is part of that tradition.My background is in the sciences, and it drives me crazy the grandiose claims these guys made without any sort of rigorous analysis of what(if anything) was actually being said, never sufficiently defining terms, and giving no statements or insights that are at all applicable to everyday life.

It starts to get better with G.E. Moore and his study of ethics, whether you agree or not at least he SAID something.Whitehead said some interesting things but the real meat came with Bertrand Russell.

While a lot of what Bertrand Russell said was incorrect, his epistemology was top notch.Because of his mathematics background we was a able to see the logical inconsistencies in the language of everyday life as well as the idealists he attacked. He brought philosophy back to the necessary logical rigor as opposed to the sweeping statements that when really looked at are nothing more than emotive.

What was frustrating was what was left out.Where is Husserl and Heidegger?I know that he stated he only wrote about philosophers he had a good knowledge of but to exclude those two is unconscionable.

Wittgenstein was given a short section, which was the most interesting part of the whole book.He raised the question of what philosophy is and the role of language in making our viewpoints.Is Philosophy a science, capable a creating new knowledge, a rough schema of seeing the world, or simply a rigorous form of poetry?Are the choices even mutually exclusive?He ends the book with this question, which was irritating to no end.

Can't say I recommend it, but if you've run through the other seven might as well finish the series.

From Empirical Science to Idealism and Back Again!
Anyone that wants to study an informative yet well-written history of philososphy must thank Frederick Copleston. Of course, most histories are one-volume and while fun, hardly in-depth, this history is a whopping 9 volumes and consists of extremely detailed and thoughtful chapters on each major (and many minor) thinker(s). Remarkably enough, though, Copleston is eminently readable and is devoid of the technical jargon that would have seemed indespensible to a lesser writer. Always lucid, exciting, and exactingly informative, this set and book herein is highly recommended for the serious philophy student and the curious lay-person (who has time on their hands).

This particular penultimate volume focuses on the rise of scientific empiricism in the Darwinian age, the corresponding reaction of philosophic idealism, the pragmatism of America that tried to found something of a middle ground between extremes, and the "full circle" swing back into logicl positivism and scientism.

Coploeston does a good job profiling the thinkers here. In particular, I know little about idealism so it was exciting to see so many good chapters On Bosquiet, Bradley, Royce, and others. The chapters (while I still can't pretend to understand idealism) were quite lucid (at least now I'll be able to fake my way through it). Most exciting though were the chapters on J.S. Mill, the chapter on the scientific thinkers from Darwin to Huxley, the chapters on pragmatists James, Peirce, and Dewey, and the chapter on the return to empiricism with G.E. Moore. Bertrand Russell is also covered at length.

Throughout it all, Copleston is mindful to keep the reader aware of the over-arching story - each thinker he broaches is brought up in a regard as a response to, or elaboration on, another thinker. The scientific empiricists came up and successfully reformulated philosophy into a materialism of sorts replete with hedonism and naturalism in ethics. The idealists came up as a reaction to that, downplaying physicalism and paying more heed to the human's spiritual craving. And justas the idealists had reacted to scientific empiricism, logical positivism reacted to idealism bringing the pendullum back to its original position after swinging too far one way and then to the other.

All in all, this was a highly informative book and will be of interest to students with a hankering for the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in British and American though. The volume after this one - the last of the set - focuses on the same time period, but more intently on French (and I believe, German) thought. Enjoy. ... Read more

• Berkeley's A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous
• Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion
• Kant's Critique of Pure Reason

Classical Modern Philosophy is the ideal textbook to accompany a course in the history of modern philosophy, but each chapter can also be studied alone as an introduction to the featured philosopher or work. Jeffrey Tlumak outlines and assesses prominent interpretations of the texts, and surveys the legacy of each great thinker.

Product Description
Yoga has come to be an icon of Indian culture and civilization, and it is widely regarded as being timeless and unchanging. Based on extensive ethnographic research and an analysis of both ancient and modern texts, Yoga in Modern India challenges this popular view by examining the history of yoga, focusing on its emergence in modern India and its dramatically changing form and significance in the twentieth century. Joseph Alter argues that yoga's transformation into a popular activity idolized for its health value is based on modern ideas about science and medicine.

Alter centers his analysis on an interpretation of the seminal work of Swami Kuvalayananda, one of the chief architects of the Yoga Renaissance in the early twentieth century. From this point of orientation he explores current interpretations of yoga and considers how practitioners of yogic medicine and fitness combine the ideas of biology, physiology, and anatomy with those of metaphysics, transcendence, and magical power.

The first serious ethnographic history of modern yoga in India, this fluently written book is must reading not only for students and scholars but also practitioners who seek a deeper understanding of how yoga developed over time into the exceedingly popular phenomenon it is today. ... Read more
