Sinopse

In "The Collected Works of Henri Bergson," readers are presented with a comprehensive anthology of the seminal insights from one of the 20th century's most influential philosophers. This volume invites us into Bergson'Äôs exploration of time, consciousness, and the distinction between the scientific and intuitive modes of understanding reality. His literary style is characterized by a lyrical prose that marries rigor with accessibility, facilitating deeper philosophical engagement. Within the context of early modern philosophy, Bergson's work stands as a counterpoint to mechanistic interpretations of life, offering instead a vitalist perspective that emphasizes the fluidity of experience and the importance of creative evolution. Henri Bergson, a French philosopher who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, intertwined his philosophical inquiries with insights drawn from literature, biology, and psychology. His early exposure to the rapid advancements in science and the arts in late 19th-century France shaped his focus on the dynamic nature of reality and the human experience. Bergson'Äôs critique of existing philosophical paradigms not only reflected his intellectual environment but also challenged contemporaneous thought, advocating for a deeper understanding of life's essence. This anthology is an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, particularly those seeking to explore the nature of time and consciousness. Bergson's uniquely integrative approach offers profound insights that resonate beyond their historical context, making the collected works both a vital academic resource and a thought-provoking experience for general readers. Engaging with this text will enrich your understanding of the philosophical landscape of the modern era.

Shakespeare's White Others

David Sterling Brown

Examining the racially white 'others' whom Shakespeare creates in characters like Richard III, Hamlet, and Tamora—figures who are never quite 'white enough'—this bold and compelling work emphasizes how such classification perpetuates anti-Blackness and reaffirms white supremacy. David Sterling Brown offers nothing less here than a wholesale deconstruction of whiteness in Shakespeare's plays, arguing that the 'white other' was a racialized category already in formation during the Elizabethan era—and also one to which Shakespeare was himself a crucial contributor. In exploring Shakespeare's determinative role and strategic investment in identity politics (while drawing powerfully on his own life experiences, including adolescence), the author argues that even as Shakespearean theatrical texts functioned as engines of white identity formation, they expose the illusion of white racial solidarity. This essential contribution to Shakespeare studies, critical whiteness studies, and critical race studies is an authoritative, urgent dismantling of dramatized racial profiling.
