The Critique of Judgment (Theory of the Aesthetic Judgment & Theory of the Teleological Judgment) - Exploring Aesthetics and Teleology in Kantian Philosophy

Immanuel Kant

Sinopse

In "The Critique of Judgment," Immanuel Kant meticulously examines the faculties of aesthetic and teleological judgment, bridging the gap between his earlier critiques of pure and practical reason. Kant's literary style is characterized by rigorous analysis and profound philosophical inquiry, employing a systematic approach that challenges the reader to engage with complex ideas. This work is set against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, where the interplay between reason and sensibility was a pivotal theme in philosophical discourse, positioning Kant as a key figure in exploring the relationship between beauty, purpose, and moral understanding. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), a towering figure in Western philosophy, was profoundly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, including rationalism and empiricism. His critical philosophy evolved from a desire to reconcile the limitations of human understanding with the search for universal moral laws. In "The Critique of Judgment," he offers insight into aesthetic experience and natural purposiveness, factors essential to his broader philosophical inquiry into the nature of human cognition and morality. This seminal work is essential for anyone delving into aesthetics or the philosophy of nature, as it not only deepens our understanding of art and beauty but also lays the groundwork for later philosophical developments. Readers will find Kant'Äôs exploration of aesthetic judgment both challenging and rewarding, offering a rich context for reflecting on the role of beauty in human experience.

A Thousand Miles From Care

Steve Johnson

Soon to be a MAJOR MOVIE. A gripping and heartbreaking story, A Thousand Miles from Care tells the 30-year quest Steve Johnson undertook to uncover the truth about his brilliant brother’s death.
At the entrance of Sydney Harbor, the cliffs rise fourteen stories above the Pacific, like a gigantic skirt made of sandstone. North Head, one of the most memorable cliffs, is a gorgeous place to watch the sunrise. But it’s an unforgiving place to lose your footing. When Steve Johnson’s younger brother Scott went over the edge in 1988, he hit an outcrop on the way down and exploded on the rocks below.
A Thousand Miles from Care draws upon the mountain of exclusive materials Steve amassed over his 32-year fight for answers, including sealed court transcripts, police records, interviews with suspects, inquest reports, correspondence with gang members, private investigations, and much else. It utilizes unique details, interview transcripts and insights based on Johnson’s close relationship with authorities and high-ranking New South Wales officials developed over more than three decades.
This profoundly impactful book traces the steps Steve Johnson, his family and friends took to solve the mystery of Scott’s alleged suicide, navigating an openly hostile police force and a maze of dead ends, unreliable informants, skinhead gangs, a faked confession, police-connected drug rings, and setbacks at every turn. A Thousand Miles from Care is above all, a love story between two brothers but shared by everyone who worked so long for truth and justice for Scott.
This autobiography is a best seller in the making, a non-fiction account of death, grief, and bereavement. It's a true story that explores the relationships between two brothers, making it a top choice for readers seeking heartfelt, real-life stories.

I Once Was Lost - My Search for...

Don Lemon

In a deeply personal follow-up to his #1 bestseller This is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends about Racism, a modern media iconoclast faces a test of faith—and reveals how such tribulations can make us stronger, as individuals and as a nation. Renowned journalist Don Lemon always had a complicated relationship with God. He cherished the Southern Black church he was raised in, but struggled with the fundamentalist rejection of his right to exist as a gay man—one who wanted to marry his longtime love in a church wedding with all the traditional trimmings. In his work as a reporter, moreover, he saw his fellow Americans losing faith in a higher power, in institutions, and in each other.   Setting out to understand the place that religion has in our lives today, Don turned a journalistic eye on ancient stories and found connections that sparked memories, conversations, and chance encounters. Then, suddenly, his world unraveled: In a blaze of inglorious headlines, Don was ousted from his high-profile network news job and tasked with redefining his role in the shifting media landscape. But through a year of personal changes and professional whiplash, he kept his “eyes on the prize” and ultimately found what he was seeking: grace, within himself and in this nation we call home. Rich with humor and Louisiana realness, I Once Was Lost is a prayer for a country that reflects the multifaceted image of God and a clarion call to those who believe in our common humanity enough to fight for it.

This is Not New - Art Culture...

David Balzer

Praise for Curationism: "Balzer writes with zest, skepticism, and sly humor" —Sheila Heti, author of Pure Colour 
 
 
 
What does it mean to call something "new"? Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept? What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change? 
 
 
 
In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artifacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend—a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it. The culture industry promises its own form of change while preserving existing systems of power exactly as they are. 
 
 
 
From the New Jerusalem to the New Left, from Vannevar Bush to Kate Bush, This is Not New asks difficult questions about the role of culture not in making change, but in delaying—even preventing—it.
