In Kierkegaard and Modern European Philosophy: An Introduction Michael Weston argues that, despite being acknowledged as a precursor to Nietzsche and post-Nietzschean thinkers such as Heidegger and Derrida, the radical nature of Kierkegaard's critique of philosophy has been missed. Weston examines and explains the metaphysical tradition, as exemplified by Plato and Hegel, and the post-metaphysical critiques of Nietzsche, Heidegger and Derrida. He shows how Kierkegaard's ethical critique of philosophy undermines the former and escapes the latter. He considers another ethical critique of philosophy, that of Levinas, before identifying ethics as the non-philosophical site where philosophy can be criticised. Kierkegaard and Modern European Philosophy: An Introduction argues that, by refusing to allow philosophy jurisdiction over ethics and religion, Kieregaard's critique applies as much to modern continental thought as to the metaphysical thought it seeks to undermine.

In this provocative new examination of the philosophical, moral and religious significance of literature, Michael Weston explores the role of literature in both analytic and continental traditions. He initiates a dialogue between them and investigates the growing importance of these issues for major contemporary thinkers.
Each chapter explores a philosopher or literary figure who has written on the relation between literature and the good life, such as Derrida, Kierkegaard, Murdoch and Blanchot. Challenging and insightful, Philosophy, Literature and the Human Good is ideal for all students of philosophy and literature.

Do Ab Exercises Do you wish your tummy was firm, not flabby, and that when you wear jeans, you didn't have abs that spilled over? Do you wish for flat abs so your significant other would always do a double-take whenever he sees your abs? You're not alone - most women wish those things and feel the way you do about flabby abs.

The first thing you need to do is stop thinking you can't ever get rid of all the extra fat on your belly. You can get started building your core muscles even if you've still got a lot of excess body fat. Just make sure that as you work on your midsection, you're also working on your whole body by doing cardiovascular exercises and following a healthy diet. The muscles you're building in your core and other parts are going to accelerate the fat burning process. Get your body so conditioned to working out that your muscles are going to be burning fat even if you're just sitting or sleeping. To build those core muscles, you need resistance, and not just on your abdominal section. Contrary to what the infomercials will have you believe, you aren't going to develop a six-pack ab just by doing crunches all day. Also do some lunges, squats, and other weight resistance muscles. The muscles in your abs are too few and too little to burn all your extra body fat. You'll need to build your largest muscles instead. Pilates is a good workout that a lot of women get into since its main focus is the core. End of Excerpt but not the end of this article
