A fresh, engaging introduction to a staple philosophy subject that
connects existential themes and problems with key texts
Existentialism is undergoing a major revival, following new
translations, biographies and popular books such as At The
Existentialist Cafe and our own new translation of Being &
Nothingness Includes helpful chapter summaries and annotated
further reading Despite the popularity of the subject there are
surprisingly few reliable introductions available
The Expression of Emotion collects cutting-edge essays on emotional
expression written by leading philosophers, psychologists, and
legal theorists. It highlights areas of interdisciplinary research
interest, including facial expression, expressive action, and the
role of both normativity and context in emotion perception. Whilst
philosophical discussion of emotional expression has addressed the
nature of expression and its relation to action theory,
psychological work on the topic has focused on the specific
mechanisms underpinning different facial expressions and their
recognition. Further, work in both legal and political theory has
had much to say about the normative role of emotional expressions,
but would benefit from greater engagement with both psychological
and philosophical research. In combining philosophical,
psychological, and legal work on emotional expression, the present
volume brings these distinct approaches into a productive
conversation.

Phenomenology is the general study of the structure of experience,
from thought and perception, to self-consciousness,
bodily-awareness, and emotion. It is both a fundamental area of
philosophy and a major methodological approach within the human
sciences. Experiencing Phenomenology is an outstanding introduction
to phenomenology. Approaching fundamental phenomenological
questions from a critical, systematic perspective whilst paying
careful attention to classic phenomenological texts, the book
possesses a clarity and breadth that will be welcomed by students
coming to the subject for the first time. Accessibly written, each
chapter relates classic phenomenological discussions to
contemporary issues and debates in philosophy. The following key
topics are introduced and explained: the methodological foundations
of phenomenology intentionality as the 'mark of the mental' and the
problem of non-existent objects perceptual experience, including
our awareness of things, properties, and events the experience of
body, self, and others imaginative and emotional experience
detailed discussions of classical phenomenological texts,
including: Brentano's Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint
Husserl's Logical Investigations, Cartesian Meditations, and On the
Phenomenology of the Consciousness of Internal Time Heidegger's
History of The Concept of Time, and Being and Time Stein's On the
Problem of Empathy Sartre's Transcendence of the Ego, Sketch for a
Theory of the Emotions, and The Imaginary Merleau-Ponty's
Phenomenology of Perception. Also included is a glossary of key
terms and suggestions for further reading, making this book an
ideal starting point for anyone new to the study of phenomenology,
not only in Philosophy but related disciplines such as Psychology
and Sociology.

Bringing together many of the world's leading experts, this volume
is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of climate change
science, impacts, mitigation, adaptation, and policy. It provides
an integrated assessment of research on the key topics that
underlie current controversial policy questions. The first part of
the book addresses recent topics and findings related to the
physical-biological earth system. The next part of the book surveys
estimates of the impacts of climate change for different sectors
and regions. The third part examines current topics related to
mitigation of greenhouse gases and explores the potential roles of
various technological options. The last part focuses on policy
design under uncertainty. Dealing with the scientific, economic and
policy questions at the forefront of the climate change issue, this
book will be invaluable for graduate students, researchers and
policymakers interested in all aspects of climate change and the
issues that surround it.
Kant's introduction of a distinctive form of philosophical
investigation and proof, known as transcendental, inaugurated a new
philosophical tradition. Transcendental Philosophy and Naturalism
assesses the present state and contemporary relevance of this
tradition. The contributors aim to understand the theoretical
structures involved in transcendental explanation, and to assess
the contemporary relevance of the transcendental orientation, in
particular with respect to contemporary philosophical naturalism.
These issues are approached from both naturalistic and
transcendental perspectives.

The essays in More than One examine sequentiality and serialism in
the practice of photography from the medium's earliest years to the
present. Contributors explore nuances of syntax and sense raised by
works like photographic albums, books, thematic portfolios,
journalistic photo features, and documentations of performance art.
Fully illustrated essays discuss, among other topics, the
little-known volume Beyond This Point (1929), a collaborative
experiment by American photographer Francis Bruguiere and London
radio producer Lance Sieveking; the evolving relationship between
public space and sexual self-definition in the early work of Minor
White; and an important performance work by artist Ana Mendieta.
The title essay surveys the social conditions and expressive
motives that have given rise to serial and sequential forms
throughout the history of photography. Distributed for the
Princeton University Art Museum
Buildings inhabit and symbolize time, giving form to history and
making public space an index of the past. Photographs are made of
time; they are literally projections of past states of their
subjects. This visually striking meditation on architecture in
photography explores the intersection between these two ways of
embodying the past. Photographs of buildings, Joel Smith argues,
are simultaneously the agents, vehicles, and cargo of social
memory. In The Life and Death of BuildingsÂ
photographers as canonical as Bernd and Hilla Becher, Laura Gilpin,
Lewis W. Hine, and William Henry Fox Talbot enter into visual
dialogue with amateurs, architects, propagandists, and
insurance adjusters. Rather than examine photographers' aims in
isolation, Smith considers how their images reflect and inflect the
passage of time. Much as a building's shifting function and
circumstances substantially alter its significance, a photograph
comes to be coauthored by history, growing layers of meaning to
which its maker had no access. Distributed for the Princeton
