Handbook of Social Epistemology is the first major reference work
devoted to this growing field. The Handbook's 46 chapters, all
appearing in print here for the first time, and written by
philosophers and social theorists from around the world, are
organized into eight main parts: Historical Backgrounds The
Epistemology of Testimony Disagreement, Diversity, and Relativism
Science and Social Epistemology The Epistemology of Groups Feminist
Epistemology The Epistemology of Democracy Further Horizons for
Social Epistemology With lists of references after each chapter and
a comprehensive index, this volume will prove to be the definitive
guide to the burgeoning interdisciplinary field of social
epistemology.
This book of expert essays explores the concept of the whole as it
operates within the psychology of Jung, the philosophy of Deleuze,
and selected areas of wider twentieth-century Western culture,
which provided the context within which these two seminal thinkers
worked. Addressing this topic from a variety of perspectives and
disciplines and with an eye to contemporary social, political, and
environmental crises, the contributors aim to clarify some of the
epistemological and ethical issues surrounding attempts, such as
those of Jung and Deleuze, to think in terms of the whole, whether
the whole in question is a particular bounded system (such as an
organism, person, society, or ecosystem) or, most broadly, reality
as a whole. Jung, Deleuze, and the Problematic Whole will
contribute to enhancing critical self-reflection among the many
contemporary theorists and practitioners in whose work thinking in
terms of the whole plays a significant role.

Garcia-Medina, Sara Goek, Eyvind Kang, Junko Oba, Juan David Rubio
Restrepo, and Gareth Dylan Smith In Scattered Musics, editors
Martha I. Chew Sanchez and David Henderson, along with a range of
authors from a variety of scholarly backgrounds, consider the
musics that diaspora and migrant populations are inspired to
create, how musics and musicians travel, and how they change in
transit. The authors cover a lot of ground: cumbia in Mexico,
musica sertaneja in Japan, hip-hop in Canada, Irish music in the US
and the UK, reggae and dancehall in Germany, and more. Diasporic
groups transform the musical expressions of their home countries as
well as those in their host communities. The studies collected here
show how these transformations are ways of grappling with
ever-changing patterns of movement. Different diasporas hold their
homelands in different regards. Some communities try to recreate
home away from home in musical performances, while others use music
to critique and redefine their senses of home. Through music,
people seek to reconstruct and refine collective memory and a
collective sense of place. The essays in this volume-by
sociologists, historians, ethnomusicologists, and others-explore
these questions in ways that are theoretically sophisticated yet
readable, making evident the complexities of musical and social
phenomena in diaspora and migrant populations. As the opening
paragraph of the introduction to the volume observes, ""What
remains when people have been scattered apart is a strong urge to
gather together, to collect."" At few times in our lives has that
ever been more apparent than right now.
How can the psychotherapist think about not knowing? Is
psychoanalysis a contemplative practice? This book explores the
possibility that there are resources in philosophy and theology
which can help psychoanalysts and psychotherapists think more
clearly about the unknown and the unknowable. The book applies the
lens of apophasis to psychoanalysis, providing a detailed reading
of apophasis in the work of Pseudo-Dionysius and exploring C.G.
Jung's engagement with apophatic discourse. Pseudo-Dionysius
brought together Greek and biblical currents of negative theology
and the via negativa, and the psychology of Jung can be read as a
continuation and extension of the apophatic tradition. Henderson
discusses the concept of the transcendent function as an apophatic
dynamic at the heart of Jung's thought, and suggests that apophasis
can provide the key to understanding the family resemblance among
the disparate schools of psychoanalysis. Chapters consider: -Jung's
discussion of opposites, including his reception of Nicholas of
Cusa's concept of the coincidence of opposites -Jung's engagement
with Neoplatonism and Pseudo-Dionysius -the work of Jung in
relation to Deleuze, Derrida and other writers -how motifs in
Pseudo-Dionysius' Ecclesiastical Hierarchy resonate with
contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The in-depth examination
of primary sources in this comprehensive volume provides a platform
for research into apophasis in the wider field of psychoanalysis.
It will prove valuable reading for scholars and analysts of Jungian
psychology studying religion and mysticism.

With contributions from leading researchers in the fields of
anthropology, ethnomusicology, and folklore, this volume contains
personal, imaginative accounts of ethnographic fieldwork that do
not fit into a traditional scholarly context, but are a vital and
engaging aspect of studying different cultures. Individual pieces
vary from autobiographical accounts of ethnographers' experiences
in the field to fictional narratives. Together they invite the
reader to places across the globe, offering richly detailed
portraits of informants, local cultures, and life in the field.

Holism: Possibilities and Problems brings together leading
contributors in a ground-breaking discussion of holism. The terms
'holism' and 'holistic' arouse strong emotional responses in
contemporary culture, whether this be negative or positive, and the
essays in this interdisciplinary collection probe, each in its own
way, the possibilities and problems inherent in thinking
holistically. Christian McMillan, Roderick Main and David Henderson
bring together established academics and emerging scholars across
subject areas and disciplinary approaches to reveal the
multiplicity and complexity of issues involved in holism. Divided
into four parts, the chapters determine key strands of thinking
explicitly or implicitly underpinning contemporary holistic
thought, including what ethical conclusions might most reasonably
be drawn from such thought. Accessible and diverse, this extensive
volume contains chapters from the perspective of history, ecology,
psychotherapy, poetry, mythology, and an especially strong
representation of continental philosophy and Jungian depth
psychology. Due to its multi-disciplinary nature, the book
represents an unparalleled discussion of the meanings and
implications of holism. Written by an innovative and international
calibre of contributors, this pioneering collection will be
essential reading for practitioners in depth psychology and
scholars of Jungian studies, as well as academics and students of
philosophy, religious studies, spirituality, history and the
history of ideas. The book is a rich resource for the enhancement
of critical reflection among all those with an interest in holism.

Fusing blues, jazz and psychedelia with an outrageous personal
style and image, Hendrix is still revered as the most important
instrumentalist in the history of rock. He died aged 27 from drugs
and alcohol. Capturing the essence of Hendrix's intense,
apocalyptic and ultimately tragic life, the author covers Hendrix's
boyhood in Seattle, his years in the US Air Force, his reputation
as the best sideman around, his manic trip to London and
superstardom, the songs, the concerts, the flaming guitars, the
drugs, the booze, the women and most important, the incomparable
legacy he left behind.
