Groundbreaking, insightful, and compulsively readable,
"Revolution in Mind" goes beyond myth and polemic to give us the
story of one of the most controversial and important intellectual
endeavors of the twentieth century. In this masterful history,
George Makari demonstrates how a new way of thinking about inner
life coalesced and won followers who spread this body of thought
throughout the West. Along the way he introduces the reader to a
fascinating array of characters, many of whom have been long
ignored or forgotten.
"Revolution in Mind" is a brilliant, engaging, and radically
new work--the first ever to account fully for the making of
psychoanalysis.
This book provides an introduction to nineteen popular multiple
intelligences. Part One discusses general intelligence,
psychological testing, naturalistic intelligence, social
intelligence, emotional intelligence, interpersonal intelligence,
and cultural intelligence. Part Two tackles machine intelligence,
the development of artificial intelligence, computational
intelligence, and digital intelligence, or the ability for humans
to adapt to a digital environment. Finally, Part Three discusses
the role of intelligence in business development, using technology
to augment intelligence, abstract thinking, swarm and animal
intelligence, military intelligence, and musical intelligence. A
Primer on Multiple Intelligences is a must-read for graduate
students or scholars considering researching cognition, perception,
motivation, and artificial intelligence. It will also be of use to
those in social psychology, computer science, and pedagogy. It is
as a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about
the multifaceted study of intelligence.
In A Theory of Environmental Leadership, Mark Manolopoulos draws on
his original model of leading outlined in his cutting-edge book
Following Reason to derive and develop the first properly
systematic model of eco-leadership. Suppose humanity's relation
with the Earth may be described in terms of leadership "stages" or
modalities: once upon a time, the Earth led or ruled humanity, and
now we humans rule or lead the Earth. When the Earth led, the Earth
flourished; now that humankind leads, the Earth flounders -
ecological crises multiply and intensify. However, there might be a
third stage or modality of leadership: humanity leading for the
Earth, leading in a way that allows the world, including humans, to
re-flourish. What would be the nature of this truly environmental
form of leadership? A Theory of Environmental Leadership identifies
and critically analyzes the two basic and incompatible positions
associated with the way we construe and interact with the
non-human: anthropocentrism (human supremacism) and ecocentrism
(ecological egalitarianism). By rigorously analyzing and leveraging
this polarity, this book outlines an innovative theory of
eco-leadership together with some of its confronting-but-necessary
measures. Expansive and incredibly timely, A Theory of
Environmental Leadership is ideal for a range of audiences, from
scholars and students of environmental leadership studies to
activists and policymakers. The book's remarkable clarity and
engaging character also makes it suitable for the general public.

Have you, a friend or family member been living with undiagnosed autism?
For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless 'masked' people who pass as neurotypical. They don't fit the stereotypical mould of Autism and are often forced by necessity to mask who they are, spending their entire lives trying to hide their Autistic traits. In particular, there is evidence that Autism remains significantly undiagnosed in women, people of colour, trans and gender non-conforming people, many of whom are only now starting to recognise those traits later in life.
Blending cutting-edge research, personal insights and practical exercises for self-expression, Dr Devon Price examines the phenomenon of 'masking', making a passionate argument for radical authenticity and non-conformity. A powerful call for change, Unmasking Autism gifts its readers with the tools to uncover their true selves and build a new society - one where everyone can thrive on their own terms.
The concept of resistance has always been central to the reception
of Hegel's philosophy. The prevalent image of Hegel's system, which
continues to influence the scholarship to this day, is that of an
absolutist, monist metaphysics which overcomes all resistance,
sublating or assimilating all differences into a single organic
'Whole'. For that reason, the reception of Hegel has always been
marked by the question of how to resist Hegel: how to think that
which remains outside of or other to the totalizing system of
dialectics. In recent years the work of scholars such as Catherine
Malabou, Slavoj Zizek, Rebecca Comay and Frank Ruda has brought
considerable nuance to this debate. A new reading of Hegel has
emerged which challenges the idea that there is no place for
difference, otherness or resistance in Hegel, both by refusing to
reduce Hegel's complex philosophy to a straightforward systematic
narrative and by highlighting particular moments within Hegel's
philosophy which seem to counteract the traditional understanding
of dialectics. This book brings together established and new voices
in this field in order to show that the notion of resistance is
central to this revaluation of Hegel.
In this book, a multidisciplinary and international selection of
Jungian clinicians and academics discuss some of the most
compelling issues in contemporary politics. Presented in five
parts, each chapter offers an in-depth and timely discussion on
themes including migration, climate change, walls and boundaries,
future developments, and the psyche. Taken together, the book
presents an account of current thinking in their psychotherapeutic
community as well as the role of practitioners in working with the
results of racism, forced relocation, colonialism, and ecological
damage. Ultimately, this book encourages analysts, scholars,
psychotherapists, sociologists, and students to actively engage in
shaping current and future political, socio-economic, and cultural
developments in this increasingly complex and challenging time.
Psychoanalysis and the Politics of Family aims to raise a
sophisticated and highly accessible debate around the family,
self-making and the political and cultural implications of
liberation. The text proposes a new way to read the Lacanian theory
of Oedipus and through this reading resituate a series of important
political and theoretical debates that have concerned intellectual
life over the last forty years. It is written with an accessible
style so that both specialists in Lacanian and Marxist theory and a
broader cross-section of readers interested in understanding the
implications of debates across populist and Marxist perspectives
that have occupied the global left since the 2008 economic crash.
The text aims to resituate the way theories of emancipation and
liberation are theorized from a distinctive psychoanalytic and
Lacanian point of view. In resituating the infamous "Oedipus
complex" in a new light, the text re-opens a series of debates with
important theoretical interlocutors, including the influential
American historian and psychoanalytic thinker Christopher Lasch,
whose thought has witnessed a significant renaissance of interest
today, to the staunch critic of Freud and Lacan, Rene Girard, to
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari and their widely read
Anti-Oedipus series that disputes the Freudian and Lacanian notions
of Oedipus.
Sex matters. It is a crucial part of whom we are and what to do. So
why do we police what is 'normal' and what is 'bizarre'? As the
author argues in this insightful book, whenever we disapprove of
others or ourselves in this way, we close our eyes to a deeper
understanding of human nature. As a psychiatrist, she has also
worked inside prisons with sex offenders, so she is familiar with
the extremes of 'oddity'. Here, she uses a psychoanalytic framework
with humour, insight and clarity to explore why we disapprove, and
what we lose when we do. She presents us with a series of
interwoven vignettes, drawn from clinical work and life
experiences, which have led her to these conclusions. The author
argues in this book that as human beings we have a responsibility
to develop a much more enquiring and open mind, and to feel
privileged rather than disgusted when we have access to primitive
fantasies that shine light into the dark corners of minds not
considered 'normal'.
