The Correction of Taste - The...

Denis Donoghue

   'Donoghue was alert to the idea of the unsayable, as he circled around the idea of language itself as pliable material, all the more beautiful for that and worthy of our full consideration, but yielding at times to further levels of mystery...' from foreword by Colm Tóibín   
In this last written work, the internationally renowned Irish literary critic Denis Donoghue brings an acute critical intelligence to bear on the late novels of Henry James. One of the greatest novelists in the English language, Henry James (1843-1916) was an American-British author who is regarded as a key transitional figure between literary realism and literary modernism.
James's The Portrait of a Lady (1881) was the central achievement of his early period. The Turn of the Screw (1898) was a high-point of Gothic literature. In The Correction of Taste, Denis Donoghue offers a close reading of James's final novels, taking as his starting point an observation by T.S. Eliot about the function of literary criticism. Exploring a succession of works such as The Ambassadors (1903), The Wings of the Dove (1902) and The Golden Bowl (1905), Donoghue brings into sharp focus the complex layers of James's literary genius.

In the shadow of violence

Mohammad Fazeli

Mohammad Fazeli has summarized the book *"Violence and Social Orders"* in five parts.    This book, one of the final works by Douglass North, was written after his 90th birthday in collaboration with Barry Weingast, a political science professor at Stanford University, and John Wallis, an economic historian. It offers a unique perspective on the history of development.    The book examines the theory of violence and social orders in several developing countries. While it provides a historical interpretation of the transformations in European societies, the authors use this historical understanding to critique conventional development policies. In the final chapter, they discuss the theoretical implications of this alternative view of history.    The book introduces distinct theoretical hypotheses, making it highly engaging for those interested in political and economic development.    This work challenges many of the conventional teachings on political and economic development in Iran.

Friedrich Nietzsche

“The Future of Our Educational Institutions” is a work by Friedrich Nietzsche, originally delivered as a series of five public lectures at Basel University in 1872. In this work, Nietzsche critically examines the attempt in 19th-century Germany to make education public, and its inherent politicisation. He points out the deep contradictions within the gymnasium system and argues against the exploitation of youth by the State for its own purposes. Nietzsche presents a radical challenge to the existing educational institutions and practices, arguing that education in modernity is a lost cause.

“Nasty Women” ― Reclaiming the...

Ph.D Janet Rivkin Zuckerman

This book addresses the fraught relationship between women and aggression, one troubled by age-old patriarchal forces that disparage women's ambition, assertion, and voice. 
Told from a psychoanalytic perspective, the book details the sociocultural forces that infect a woman's intrapsychic dynamics and compel her to sacrifice her goals and dreams. Compelling examples are offered from current politics, the author's own struggles with aggression, and clinical work with female patients who successfully reclaimed their aggression. The book addresses the critical question of how a woman can ever succeed, through the presentation of the author's detailed and psychoanalytically informed interviews with six powerful and highly influential women. Each woman brings to life the story of her history, influences, and challenges to provide inspiration for others to reimagine their own "nastiness," as an innovative, vitalizing tool. 
This book is distinguished by its unique blend of contemporary life, psychoanalytic practice, feminist theory, and gender studies, untold in any other forum or publication. It is essential for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and all those interested in working with women in a therapeutic setting and understanding their challenges with aggression.
