name. But there still remains a price on Bingham's head -- dead or
alive!

How to Fish is an unabashed, unashamed celebration of the joys of
fishing. It is about contentment, calm and solitude, rivers and
river banks, losing track of time and, of course, the fish
themselves. For those who already enjoy fishing it is a love letter
to their art and for those who don't - yet! - it is an insight into
a life spent getting up at the crack of dawn and, armed with rod
and line, heading for water...
The imagination is a decisive, if underappreciated, theme in German
thought since Kant. In this rigorous historical and textual
analysis, Christopher Yates challenges an oversight of traditional
readings by presenting the first comparative study of F.W.J.
Schelling and Martin Heidegger on this theme. By investigating the
importance of the imagination in the thought of Schelling and
Heidegger, Yates' study argues that Heidegger's later, more poetic,
philosophy cannot be understood properly without appreciating
Schelling's central importance for him. A key figure in
post-Kantian German Idealism, Schelling's penetrating attention to
the creative character of thought remains undervalued. Capturing
the essential manner in which Heidegger's ontology and Schelling's
idealism intersect, The Poetic Imagination in Heidegger and
Schelling likewise presents an introduction to better understanding
Heidegger's later thought. It reveals how his engagement with
Schelling encouraged Heidegger to recover and refine the
imagination as a poetic, as opposed to reductive and dogmatic,
collaborator in the life of truth. Tracing the theme of imagination
in new readings of these major thinkers, Yates' study not only
acknowledges Schelling's provocative place in post-Kantian German
Idealism, but demonstrates as well the significance of Schelling's
philosophical focus and style for Heidegger's own concentration on
the creative vocation of human artistry and thought.
Written at a time when violence has many faces and goes by many
names, this collection is proof that philosophy can remain a vital
partner in the twin tasks of diagnosis and action. Emerging across
specters of genocide, racism, oppression, terror, poverty, or war,
the threat of violence is not only concrete and urgent, but all too
often throws the work of critical reflection into vulnerable
paralysis. With essays by some of today's finest scholars, these
pages breathe new life into the hard work of intellectual
engagement. Philosophers such as Peg Birmingham, Robert Bernasconi,
and Bernhard Waldenfels not only feel the distinct burden of our
age but, with unflagging attention to the philosophical tradition,
forge a pronounced counterweight to the violent gyre of today. The
result is a stirring critique that looks outward upon the phenomena
of injustice, and inward upon the instruments and assumptions of
philosophical discourse itself.
'Though most of my life seems to have been spent on the banks of
lakes and rivers, I have always been drawn to the sea . . .'
Through twenty-two casts, Britain's best-known freshwater fisherman
quits land in favour of the sea. There, he discovers the many
pleasures of the coast: wild shores, unpredictable waves, the
violent collision of the elements, and, of course, fish that
glisten and dart beneath a never-still surface. From childhood
remembrances of saltwater escapades to more recent discoveries,
Chris Yates brings the sea and its many wonders to scintillating
life.
