Experience and Eternity in Spinoza (Paperback): Pierre-francois Moreau Experience and Eternity in Spinoza (Paperback)
Pierre-francois Moreau; Translated by Robert Boncardo
R963 Discovery Miles 9 630 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What could it mean to feel eternal? In Experience and Eternity in Spinoza, Moreau fundamentally transforms our inherited understanding of Spinoza's philosophy. Through a detailed study of Spinoza's concept of 'experience', Moreau shows how Spinoza extends the power of reason to domains frequently seen as irrational, from common life to history, language to the passions. Where previously Spinoza's thought was identified exclusively with the geometrical method, Moreau demonstrates that by mobilising his unique account of 'experience', Spinoza is able to capture the singularity of individuals, their lives, languages, passions and societies. With readings of each of Spinoza's most famous works, from the Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect to the Ethics, but also unprecedented studies of minor writings such as the Hebrew Grammar, Moreau renews our understanding of Spinoza's philosophy by showing the simultaneous operation of the geometrical and experiential methods. Finally, this new vision of Spinoza's philosophy illuminates the enigmatic experience of eternity mentioned in Book V of Spinoza's Ethics.

Mallarme and the Politics of Literature - Sartre, Kristeva, Badiou, Ranciere (Paperback): Robert Boncardo Mallarme and the Politics of Literature - Sartre, Kristeva, Badiou, Ranciere (Paperback)
Robert Boncardo
R675 Discovery Miles 6 750 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Robert Boncardo investigates how Stephane Mallarme, one of modernity's most ingenious yet obscure poets, became an object of major political significance for French intellectuals. He asks how this most refined and seemingly aristocratic of poets became the writer of choice for leftist intellectuals and reflects on the ambivalent relation between literature and its political destiny in modernity. With in-depth studies of Jean-Paul Sartre, Julia Kristeva, Alain Badiou and Jacques Ranciere, along with shorter analyses of Jean-Claude Milner and Quentin Meillassoux, he situates Mallarme within the philosophical and political projects of some of France's greatest thinkers.

Mallarme - Ranciere, Milner, Badiou (Hardcover): Robert Boncardo, Christian R. Gelder Mallarme - Ranciere, Milner, Badiou (Hardcover)

R3,601 Discovery Miles 36 010 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

From the post-War writings of Sartre and Blanchot to the post-structuralism of Jacques Derrida and Julia Kristeva, French philosophers have consistently debated the poetry of Stephane Mallarme, almost as a rite of passage. Alain Badiou, Jean-Claude Milner and Jacques Ranciere - three of the most important philosophers alive today - are no exception, having written extensively about the poet since the 1960's and 70's up until today. This book contains a series of interviews with these three figures on Mallarme, as well as an extended introduction that places their thought on literature into dialogue. Speaking about their personal and philosophical relationships with each other, on methods of reading, on poetry and politics, and poetry and mathematics, each philosopher reflects on their life-long engagement with Mallarme, as well as on the different, often incommensurable, images of the poet their philosophies have generated. As Ranciere, Milner and Badiou point to the past importance and future directions Mallarme gives to thought, these interviews lend credence to Barthes' remark that "all we can do is repeat Mallarme - and it is good that we do so".
