Beschreibung

In "Metaphysics," Aristotle embarks on an inquiry into the fundamental nature of reality, exploring the principles that underpin existence and substance. This seminal text employs a rigorous dialectical method, blending philosophical analysis with empirical observation, and is structured around key concepts such as being, essence, causality, and potentiality. Written in the 4th century BCE, Aristotle's work acts as a crucial bridge between pre-Socratic thought and later metaphysical discourse, setting the stage for centuries of philosophical exploration on ontology and epistemology. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, drew insights from diverse schools of thought and experiences in the natural world, which shaped his distinctive philosophical inquiries. His extensive writings reflect a relentless quest for knowledge and understanding, spurred by the intellectual milieu of ancient Greece. "Metaphysics" is thus an extension of his lifelong exploration into the nature of being and reality, elevating abstract reasoning to a systematic study that would influence both medieval scholasticism and modern philosophy. This profound work is a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the underpinnings of Western philosophical thought. Aristotle's meticulous explorations into existence compel readers to interrogate their understanding of reality, making "Metaphysics" not just a historical artifact but a relevant philosophical companion for contemporary ongoing discussions in metaphysics.

    Historian, journalist, educator, and civil rights advocate W. E. B. Du Bois was perhaps most accomplished as a sociologist of race relations and of the black community in the United States. This volume collects his most important sociological writings from 1898 to 1910. The eighteen selections include five on Du Bois’s conception of sociology and sociological research, especially as a tool in the struggle for racial justice; excerpts from studies of black communities in the South and the North, including The Philadelphia Negro; writings on black culture and social life, with a selection from The Negro American Family; and later works on race relations in the United States and elsewhere after World War II. This section includes a powerful fiftieth-anniversary reassessment of his classic 1901 article in the Atlantic in which he predicted that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.“ 
     
    The editors provide an annotated bibliography, a lengthy overview of Du Bois’s life and work, and detailed introductions to the selections.

    On October 8, 2023, Bernard-Henri Lévy flew to Israel to bear witness to the unprecedented invasion and massacre committed by Hamas. Israel Alone begins here and weaves in Lévy's fifty years on the ground in Israel, from his first trip in 1967, his experiences writing on all the conflicts since, and his participation in various peace plans and contacts with all the Israeli leaders. 
     
     
     
    From his unique philosophical and humanist perspective, Lévy analyzes the ultimate evil unleashed on Israel on October 7 and delves into how the Islamic Republic of Iran, Russia, radical Islamist groups, Turkey, and China have played roles and profited from this tragedy. The book addresses how October 7, though historic in scope, became, within weeks, a "detail" in the global consciousness amid a worldwide eruption of anti-Semitism, cloaked in anti-Zionism. 
     
     
     
    Lévy deconstructs the arguments of those calling for a "cease-fire now" without the release of all hostages and of those who demand that October 7 be seen within a greater "context." Lévy's meditation on the soul of Zionism and Israel shows why this war is existential, not only for Israel but for the global West. And yet, despite the urgency and critical nature of this war, Israel takes it on alone. Lévy analyzes, today, why this is so and why Israel's solitude is greater than ever.

    A radical reinterpretation of the origin of religion through a psychoanalytic theorization of the unknown 
     
     
      
    Renowned psychoanalytic philosopher Richard Boothby puts forward a novel theory of religion inspired by Jacques Lacan's theory of das Ding, the disquieting, inaccessible dimension of fellow human beings. This notion of an unfathomable excess, originally encountered in the figure of the mother, led Lacan to break with Freud's formulation of the Oedipus complex and underlies Lacan's distinctive conception of unconscious dynamics. Leaning on this account, Boothby shows how our sense of the sacred arises from our relation to what we do not know. 
     
     
      
    Embracing the Void lays out the range of Freud's attempts at a psychoanalytic theory of religion and then sketches the rough contours of Lacan's contrasting approach. From there, Boothby offers the theoretical tools for interpreting the religious impulse and analyzes key religious traditions, from ancient Greek polytheism to Judaism and Christianity, and from Hinduism and Buddhism to Islam, finally turning to modern capitalist culture and the seductive deity that dominates it—money. Lucid, accessible, and compelling, the book provides a cogent intervention in one of the psychoanalytic tradition's most contentious topics and offers a new approach to our understanding of religion.
