The Philosophy of Viagra Bioethical Responses to the Viagrification of the Modern World
| Edizione: | Brill, 2011 | | Collana: | Value Inquiry Book Series |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 75,00 | | Descrizione | The impotency remedy Viagra is the fastest selling drug in history. It has grown beyond being simply a medical phenomenon, but has achieved the status of cultural icon, appearing on television as a pretext for jokes or even as a murder weapon. Viagra has socio-cultural implications that are not limited to sexuality. The Philosophy of Viagra offers a unique perspective as it examines the phenomenon of Viagra through ideas derived from more than two thousand years of philosophical reasoning. In philosophy, Eros has always had a central position. Since Plato, philosophy has held that desire is not only a medical but also a spiritual phenomenon and that scientific explanations claiming to give an exhaustive account of erotic perception are misleading. Philosophical ideas are able to debunk various scientific rationalizations of sexuality â one of which is the clinical-sexological discourse on Viagra. In this volume, several authors interpret Viagra through the lens of classical philosophy explicating the themes of immortality and hedonism. Others offer psychoanalytical considerations by confronting clinical sexology with psychological realities. Still others evoke intercultural aspects revealing the relative character of potency that the phenomenon of Viagra attempts to gloss over. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Re-ethnicizing the Minds? Cultural Revival in Contemporary Thought

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 153,00 | | Descrizione | The predominance and global expansion of homogenizing modes of production, consumption and information risks alienating non-Western and Western people alike from the intellectual and moral resources embedded in their own distinctive cultural traditions. In reaction to the erosion of traditional cultures and civilizations, we seem to be witnessing the re-emergence of a tendency to âre-ethnicize the mindâ through renewed and more or less systematic cultural revivals worldwide (e.g., âhinduization,â âivoirization,â âsinofication,â âislamicization,â âindigenization,â etc.). How do and should philosophers understand and assess the significance and impact of this phenomenon? Authors acquainted with the contemporary situation in Africa, Asia, the Middle-East, South-America, and Europe try to answer this question.In the final analysis, the authors of this original and groundbreaking collection of essays plead for a full critical engagement with one's own particularity while at the same time rejecting any form of cultural, national or regional chauvinism. They consider various ways in which local and global conceptions as well as practices can and already do judiciously inform and positively fertilize each other. At this juncture of history, they argue, societies and peoples must articulate their self-identity by looking critically at their respective cultural resources, and beyond them at the same time. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Vasily Sesemann Experience, Formalism, and the Question of Being

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 46,00 | | Descrizione | Born in Vyborg in 1884 by parents of German descent, Vasily (Wilhelm) Sesemann grew up and studied in St. Petersburg. A close friend of Viktor Zhirmunsky and Lev P. Karsavin, Sesemann taught from the early 1920s until his death in 1963 at the universities of Kaunas and Vilnius in Lithuania (interrupted only by his internment in a Siberian labor camp from 1950 to 1956). Botz-Bornstein's study takes up Sesemann's idea of experience as a dynamic, constantly self-reflective, ungraspable phenomenon that cannot be objectified. Through various studies, the author shows how Sesemann develops an outstanding idea of experience by reflecting it against empathy, Erkenntnistheorie (theory of knowledge), Formalism, Neo-Kantianism, Freudian psychoanalysis, and Bergson's philosophy. Sesemann's thought establishes a link between Formalist thoughts about dynamics and a concept of Being reminiscent of Heidegger. The book contains also translations of two essays by Sesemann as well as of an essay by Karsavin. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Place and Dream Japan and the Virtual
| Edizione: | Brill, 2004 | | Collana: | Studien zur interkulturellen Philosophie / Studies in Intercultural Philosophy / Ãtudes de philosop |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 68,00 | | Descrizione | This is a book about space. On a first level, it reflects traditional Japanese ideas of space against various âitemsâ of Western culture. Among these items are Bakhtin's âdialogicityâ, Wittgenstein's Lebensform, and âvirtual spaceâ or âglobalizedâ space as representatives of the latest development of an âalienatedâ, modern spatial experience. Some of the Western concepts of space appear as negative counter examples to âbasho-likeâ, Japanese places; others turn out to be compatible with the Japanese idea of space.On a second level, the book attempts to synthesize, by constantly transgressing the limits of a purely comparative activity, a quantity which the author believes to be existent in Japanese culture that is called âthe virtualâ. Be it Kuki Shà»zà´'s hermeneutics of non-foundation or his ontology of dream, Nishida Kitarà´'s virtual definition of the body of state, or Kimura Bin's notion of âin-betweenâ (aida) that is so closely associated with the âvirtual spaceâ of Noh plays: what all these conceptions have in common is that they aim to transcend a flat notion of ârealityâ by developing âthe virtualâ as a complex ontological unity. | Aggiungi al Carrello |
