Kant's final drafts, known as his Opus postumum, revolve around the
attempt to make a 'transition from the metaphysical foundations of
natural science to physics.' Interpreters broadly agree that in
this project Kant seeks to connect the general a priori principles
of natural science, as set out in the major critical works, to the
specific results of empirical physics. Beyond this, however, basic
interpretative issues remain controversial. This Element outlines a
framework that aims to combine the systematic ambition of early
twentieth-century readings with the rigour of more recent studies.
The author argues that the issue of the 'gap' that has animated
much recent scholarship can be profitably set aside. In its place,
they advocate renewed attention to what they claim is a crucial
part of the manuscript, fascicles X/XI, and to the problematic
'arrival point' of the transition, namely Kant's question: what is
physics?
For the past thirty years, Howard Caygill has been a distinctive
and radical voice in continental philosophy. For the first time,
this volume gathers together Caygill's most significant
philosophical essays, the majority of which are not freely
available and many of which are previously unpublished. Here, a
major philosopher is at work, offering rich, rigorous and
politically-engaged readings of canonical and lesser-known figures
and texts. From Kant and Frantz Fanon to Herman Kahn, founder of
the Hudson Institute, Caygill uncovers the untapped resources that
the history of philosophy provides for contemporary thought, whilst
critically pushing beyond the limits of the tradition. Divided into
two parts, the first part of the collection reveals the
philosophical backdrop to Caygill's acclaimed study of political
resistance, On Resistance: A Philosophy of Defiance (2015), whilst
the second part sees Caygill further develop his account of
resistance through wide-ranging analyses of contemporary culture.
Exploring numerous subjects, including Nietzsche, metaphysics,
radical politics, and digital resistance, to name but a few, Force
and Understanding introduces readers to the orienting themes of
Caygill's thought and provides the opportunity to engage with one
of the most astute, learned, and critical philosophical minds
around.

History tells us that on a day when the forces of civil government
confront the forces of military might, no one knows what may
follow. Americans believe that they have avoided this moment, that
whatever other challengesthe country has faced, at least it never
has had to deal with the prospects of a coup d'etat. Stephen Howard
Brownemaintains that this view is mistaken, that in fact the United
States faced such a crisis, at the very moment when thecountry
announced its arrival on the world scene in the spring of 1783 in a
rustic meeting hall along the Hudson River near Newburgh, New York.
The crisis was resolved by George Washington, commander in chief of
the U.S. Army, in an address he delivered to a roomful of restive
and deeply disaffected officers. In The Ides of War, Browne
examines the resolution of the first confrontation between the
forces of American civil government and the American military--the
Newburgh Crisis. He tells the story of what transpired on that day,
examines what was said, and suggests what we might learn from the
affair. Browne shows that George Washington's Newburgh Address is a
stunning example of the power of human agency to broker one of our
most persistent, mosttroublesome dilemmas: the rival claims to
power of civil and military authorities. At stake in this story are
biding questions about the meaning and legacy of revolution, the
nature of republican government, and ultimately what kind of people
we are and profess to be. Browne holds that although these are
monolithic and vexed themes, they are vital and need to be
confronted to obtain a coherent and convincing account of history.
The Newburgh Crisis offers an unmatched opportunity to examine
these themes, as well as the role of rhetoric in the founding of
the world's first modern republic.

"Among the vicissitudes incident to life, no event could have
filled me with greater anxieties than that of which the
notification was transmitted by your order, and received on the
fourteenth day of the present month." With these words to the
assembled members of the Senate and House of Representatives on
April 30, 1789, George Washington inaugurated the American
experiment. It was a momentous occasion and an immensely important
moment for the nation. Never before had a people dared to invent a
system of government quite like the one that Washington was
preparing to lead, and the tensions between hope and skepticism ran
high. In this book, distinguished scholar of early America Stephen
Howard Browne chronicles the efforts of the first president of the
United States of America to unite the nation through ceremony,
celebrations, and oratory. The story follows Washington on his
journey from Mount Vernon to the site of the inauguration in
Manhattan, recounting the festivities-speeches, parades, dances,
music, food, and flag-waving-that greeted the president-elect along
the way. Considering the persuasive power of this procession,
Browne captures in detail the pageantry, anxiety, and spirit of the
nation to arrive at a more nuanced and richly textured perspective
on what it took to launch the modern republican state. Compellingly
written and artfully argued, The First Inauguration tells the story
of the early republic-and of a president who, by his words and
comportment, provides a model of leadership and democratic
governance for today.
In The Heart and Soul of the Therapist, Dr. Stephen Howard explores
the powerful and intimate relationship of the therapist and client,
showing how attention to this interaction can guide therapeutic
work. It is the therapist-client relationship that provides the
opportunity and context for change. Whatever the modality of
treatment, it is the therapist's use of himself or herself within
the relationship that makes the conditions for healing possible.
The use of the therapist's self is explored here in language that
is clear and engaging.
