Serious LarksThe Philosophy of Ted CohenEdited and with an Introduction by Daniel Herwitz“It is a very rare pleasure to read Cohen’s essays. He was a true original who always took a fresh approach to a topic, and these essays are gems, bringing together in one place the distinc-tive combination that is Cohen: the sharpest philosophical acuity, a wonderful writing style–lucid, invariably clear, rich in implication (and thus they make one think), a sense of adventure and discovery (often about things one took for granted), and–perhaps most distinctively Co-henesque, a sense of companionship and humane presence.”—Garry L.

In conversation with Heidegger, he offers meditations on death, with Foucault on madness, with Nietzsche on extreme joy, and through phenomenology his thoughts on the paradoxes of time.

Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless SufferingWhat Philosophy Can Tell Us about the Hardest Mystery of AllScott Samuelson“Excellent. . . . The challenge that Samuelson locates in the philosophical tradition, and which he passes on to the reader, is to reflect deeply on what it means to live with pointless suffering while resisting the temptation to transmute it into meaningful pain, which is something else entirely. . .

Modern & Postmodern Philosophy 1

The Aesthetics of Meaning and ThoughtThe Bodily Roots of Philosophy, Science, Morality, and ArtMark Johnson“The Aesthetics of Meaning and Thought elo-quently argues that all meaningful experience is aesthetic experience. Johnson advances this idea through discussion of both classic philosophical ideas on pragmatism and contemporary research from cognitive linguistics and cognitive science. By blending together these different scholarly traditions, Johnson offers a grand vision of the essential interaction of embodied minds, mean-ings, and aesthetics.”—Raymond W.

A Decent LifeMorality for the Rest of UsTodd MayIn A Decent Life, May leads readers through the traditional philosophical bases of a number of arguments about what ethics asks of us, then he develops a more reasonable and achievable way of thinking about them, one that shows us how we can use philosophical insights to participate in the complicated world around us. He explores how we should approach the many relationships in our lives—with friends, family, animals, people in need—through the use of a more forgiving, if no less fundamentally serious, moral compass. 2019 232 p. 51/2 x 81/2 1 table 9 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-60974-4 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

The Seminars of Jacques Derrida

Theory and PracticeEdited by Geoffrey Bennington and Peggy Kamuf Translated by David Wills

In Theory and Practice, Derrida reexamines the theory-practice dichotomy through a series of provocative readings. Engaging primarily with Marx and Heidegger, as well as his contempo-rary Louis Althusser, Derrida examines the roles of thinking and doing in political and philo-sophical life.2019 144 p. 6 x 9 12 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-57234-5 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

The Death Penalty, Volume IITranslated by Elizabeth Rottenberg

Of central importance in this second volume of Derrida’s extraordinary analysis of the death penalty, is Kant’s explicit justification of the death penalty in the Metaphysics of Morals. Thoroughly deconstructing Kant’s position. Derrida exposes numerous damning contradic-tions and exceptions. Derrida’s powerful analysis will prove to be a paramount contribution to the death penalty debate as well as a lasting entry in his celebrated oeuvre.2016 304 p. 6 x 9 13 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-41082-1 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

The Evolution of ImaginationStephen T. Asma“Mr. Asma takes readers to. . . . the site of hu-man creativity, gives them a sense of its thrill, and while doing so leads them through a series of questions that have stymied philosophers for millennia: How exactly does human creativity take place?

Arendt and AmericaRichard H. King“A major work of scholarship and a truly original and pathbreaking way of looking at Arendt and her work. King situates Arendt in an American context in which she is rarely considered, and he draws on his deep knowledge of U.S. intellectu-al, political, and social history as well as German philosophy to create a book that is one of the most original and important works on Arendt to have been written in many years.”—Dan Stone, University of London2015 416 p. 6 x 9 20 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-56553-8 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

What Philosophy Is ForMichael HampeTranslated by Michael Winkler

“Hampe offers a learned reflection on the forms philosophy has taken, providing guideposts for the future development of the field. In ways reminiscent of Hadot and Dewey, he reanimates the Socratic project of treating philosophy as an activity rather than simply a doctrine, arguing that philosophy needs a renewed commitment to non-doctrinal, agnostic thinking for an era where technoscience is creating new forms of life.”—Robert Frodeman, University of North Texas2018 352 p. 6 x 9 23 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-36528-2 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

Nietzsche’s Final TeachingMichael Allen Gillespie“Gillespie takes seriously the primacy for Ni-etzsche of his teaching of eternal recurrence, and explores with novelty and precision Nietzsche’s attempt to unify philosophy with music. The result is an impressive discussion of Ecce Homo, Twilight of the Idols, Thus Spoke Zarathus-tra, and other works, and a thought-provoking view of Nietzsche as a whole.”—Mark Blitz, Claremont McKenna College2017 264 p. 6 x 9 25 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-47688-9 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

The Actual and the RationalHegel and Objective SpiritJean-François Kervégan Translated by Daniela Ginsburg and Martin Shuster

“Jean-François Kervégan’s The Actual and the Ra-tional is hard to praise highly enough. It takes on both Hegel’s practical philosophy in the broadest sense as theory of action and practical reasoning and the stickier issues of historical and textual interpretation that surround Hegel’s work. Even for a Hegel scholar steeped in those texts and the secondary literature surrounding them, Kervé-gan’s treatment is refreshing and new.”—Terry Pinkard, Georgetown University2018 416 p. 6 x 9 32 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-02380-9 $55.00 Your Price: $44.00

Hegel’s Theory of IntelligibilityRocío Zambrana“Zambrana engages Hegel’s modernity precisely at the point where his thought is usually taken to regress most. Far from serving up a sophisticated recycling of some kind of pre-critical rationalist ontology, as is so often assumed, The Science of Logic becomes the site where Hegel’s modernist credentials are most sharply revealed.”—Rebecca Comay, University of Toronto2015 208 p. 6 x 9 33 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-28011-0 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

Hegel’s Realm of ShadowsLogic as Metaphysics in The Science of LogicRobert B. Pippin“In this fascinating reading of Hegel’s The Sci-ence of Logic, Robert Pippin gives us much to ponder—not least how it might be possible to see Hegel’s position as a fusion of Kantian idealism and Aristotelian metaphysics. Pippin’s defense of this view displays all the dialectical skills of the master himself, and will bring fresh life to the debates concerning how this text is to be read.”—Robert Stern, The University of Sheffield2018 352 p. 6 x 9 36 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-58870-4 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

The Government of DesireA Genealogy of the Liberal SubjectMiguel de Beistegui“Miguel de Beistegui contributes to what Fou-cault called a history of the present by pursu-ing the idea of desire across three categories: economic, sexual, and symbolic. By interweav-ing the historical and theoretical aspects of these together, he argues that desire is not a tran-scendental feature of subjectivity, but rather an ‘assemblage’ of knowledge and power. Bolstered by a remarkable amount of research, The Govern-ment of Desire is a compelling, persuasive, and original work of philosophy.”—Leonard Lawlor, Pennsylvania State University2018 320 p. 6 x 9 39 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-54737-4 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

Taste, Agamben argues, is a category that has much to reveal to the contemporary world. Taking a step into the history of philosophy and reaching to the very origins of aesthetics, Agam-ben critically recovers the roots of one of West-ern culture’s cardinal concepts. Agamben is the rare writer whose ideas and works have a broad appeal across many fields, and with Taste he turns his critical eye to the realm of Western art and aesthetic practice.2017 96 p. 51/2 x 73/4 43 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-85742-436-5 $20.00 Your Price: $16.00 IND

Gilles DeleuzeFrida Beckman“With remarkable deftness, the book conveys the importance of concepts such as becoming, difference and repetition, anti-Hegelianism, ontology without transcendence, the fold, and the disruption of common-sense conceptions of representation and identity, whilst placing these themes in the context of Deleuze’s life. The book deals particularly well with the themes of love and friendship as dynamics of ‘joint becom-ing.’”—French StudiesCritical Lives



Søren KierkegaardAlastair Hannay“In calling for a leap of faith from universal hu-man religiosity to commitment to the revelation of God in Christ, Kierkegaard foreshadowed the later theology of Karl Barth and the philosophy of the twentieth century existentialists.

Ladd, Susanna Loeb, and Adam SwiftIn Educational Goods, two philosophers and two social scientists ask: what should we as a society be looking for from education—what exactly should those who make decisions be trying to achieve? They propose a method for combining values and evidence to reach decisions. They con-clude by showing the method in action, offering detailed accounts of how it might be applied in school finance, accountability, and choice.2018 192 p. 6 x 9 8 halftones, 4 line drawings 60 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-51417-8 $27.50 Your Price: $22.00

The Color of MindWhy the Origins of the Achievement Gap Matter for JusticeDerrick Darby and John L. Rury“The Color of Mind is a timely intervention into debates and discourses about the relationship between race, justice, and American education. From philosophy it offers a useful geneal-ogy of the ethics of white supremacy and its impact on mutual racial respect; from history it offers a lean and direct account of the develop-ment of not only education policy but also the background conditions that preempted certain policies while making others possible.”—Chris-topher J. Lebron, Johns Hopkins UniversityHistory and Philosophy of Education

Patriotic Education in a Global AgeRandall Curren and Charles DornShould schools attempt to cultivate patriotism? If so, why? In Patriotic Education in a Global Age, philosopher Randall Curren and historian Charles Dorn address these questions and more as they seek to understand what role patriotism might legitimately play in schools as an aspect of civic education.History and Philosophy of Education

The I in TeamSports Fandom and the Reproduction of IdentityErin C. Tarver“The I in Team takes up a timely and impor-tant—and interesting—topic. It aims to under-stand sports fandom in relation to social identity, most saliently race, gender, and economic condition. In so doing, it illuminates controver-sial contemporary phenomena like our debates around racialized sport iconography—team names like ‘Redskins’—and a majority white society’s peculiar and ambivalent investments in black male athletes.” Paul C.

Wealth, Commerce, and PhilosophyFoundational Thinkers and Business EthicsEdited by Eugene Heath and Byron KaldisWith a Foreword by Deirdre N. McCloskey

“This is a collection of important writing on business ethics. Unlike a great books approach, it relies on pieces by others explicating key thinkers in the field. ‘This volume seeks to reinvigorate and widen business ethics scholar-ship so that the discipline will be informed more fully and deeply by the perspectives of significant philosophers and thinkers.’ The moral issues associated with economic exchange, the ethical dimensions of markets and business, and the creation and uses of wealth are examined through the lenses of sages across a long history. . . .

Machiavelli’s PoliticsCatherine H. Zuckert“There is no book on Machiavelli quite like this one, with exposition and analysis of every major work. Zuckert’s writing is admirably clear, the depth of her knowledge about the history and background of the texts amply evident. In estab-lishing the coherence of Machiavelli’s work, her interpretations of particular passages are surpris-ing and enlightening.”—Harvey C.

12 Early Modern & Classical Philosophy

Action versus ContemplationWhy an Ancient Debate Still MattersJennifer Summit and Blakey Vermeule“This is a very subtle and surprising book that nevertheless goes down easy . . . . There’s great generosity of spirit in their writing and think-ing, and that generosity will have a salutary effect on all those whose thinking this book will touch. Action versus Contemplation is itself a contemplative document meant to intervene in the world it addresses, to get us to rethink practical matters, and to act in ways that will promote thinking. It urges action as a way of thinking, and thinking as a way of acting, and is a model of what it advocates for.”—William Flesch, Brandeis University2018 256 p. 51/2 x 81/2 7 halftones 81 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-03223-8 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

On Descartes’ Passive ThoughtThe Myth of Cartesian DualismJean-Luc MarionTranslated and with an Introduction by Christina M. Gschwandtner

“This is the first English translation of Mari-on’s Sur la pensée passive de Descartes (2013), which is the culmination of his scholarship on René Descartes. In it, Marion develops a radical reinterpretation of Cartesian metaphysics. He argues that in the Meditations on First Philoso-phy, Descartes quietly distinguishes between extended bodies as understood rationally and quantitatively and the ‘my body’ of immediate sensation. . . . Highly recommended.”—Choice2018 304 p. 6 x 9 82 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-19258-1 $50.00 Your Price: $40.00

Montesquieu and the Despotic Ideas of EuropeAn Interpretation of The Spirit of the LawsVickie B. Sullivan“Searching for the mysterious ‘chain’ in a notoriously difficult book—The Spirit of the Laws—Sullivan focuses on the idea of des-potism that plays a key role in Montesquieu’s conceptual framework. By drawing on a wide range of authors and texts, her erudite analysis sheds fresh light on Montesquieu’s treatment of despotism in Europe and his views on arbitrary power.”—Aurelian Craiutu, Indiana University, Bloomington2017 304 p. 6 x 9 83 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-48291-0 $50.00 Your Price: $40.00

Spinoza and the Cunning of ImaginationEugene Garver“Spinoza and the Cunning of Imagination offers a compelling, thought provoking, and original argument that challenges readers of Spinoza to reexamine many of their well-received tropes and habits. Garver shows himself to be a real connoisseur of Spinoza’s philosophy, and the breadth of his reading and his knowledge of the secondary literature is remarkable. . . . His book constitutes . . . a rather audacious attempt to come to terms with the Spinozistic philosophi-cal enterprise as such and from a critical but sympathetic view of what is undeniably one of the most important philosophical systems of the Western philosophical tradition.”—Elhanan Yakira, Hebrew University of Jerusalem2018 320 p. 6 x 9 84 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-57556-8 $55.00 Your Price: $44.00

Becoming PoliticalSpinoza’s Vital Republicanism and the Democratic Power of JudgmentChristopher Skeaff“Spinoza has never been ‘fashionable,’ but over the past decade there has unquestionably been an important renewed interested in the relevance of his work for contemporary theory and politics. Any reader interested in (re)discovering Spinoza should start with Christopher Skeaff’s erudite yet supple Becoming Political, a book that not only offers a fresh interpretation of Spinoza as a ‘vital republican’ but also mobilizes that reading to engage rigorously and meaning-fully with a variety of strands of contemporary political theory.”—Samuel A.

The Myth of DisenchantmentMagic, Modernity, and the Birth of the Human SciencesJason Ā. Josephson-Storm“The author displays impressive erudition in tackling what is, by any standards, a massive undertaking. . . . Josephson-Storm exhaustively traces the development of Western thought on this subject through history to the present time, and convincingly argues that the magic never really went away after all. . . . While the underly-ing theme is eminently simple and understand-able, some of the philosophical arguments become immensely complex.”—Magonia Review of Books2017 400 p. 6 x 9 5 figures 99 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-40336-6 $32.00 Your Price: $25.60

With an incredible depth and range of scholarship, Sovereignty and the Sacred makes a strong case for the continu-ing importance of the field of the history of religions and the comparative study of religion, and it makes a crucial intervention in theorizing religion. Yelle’s argument is rich, important, and deeply erudite.

Secret BodyErotic and Esoteric Currents in the History of ReligionsJeffrey J. Kripal“Kripal presents us with a compilation of theories, cultural references and anecdotes making up an impassioned thesis about the future of religious studies and ‘what human beings may become’. . . For all its eccentricities, Kripal’s work is playful, engaging and original. His references to both ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture are reminiscent of prominent intellectuals such as Susan Sontag and Slavoj Žižek. His earnest encouragement of scholars to be more open and his rejection of skeptical approaches—‘scholars are not religiously inept and disciples are not dumb’—is both heartening and timely.”—Times Higher Education2017 448 p. 6 x 9 4 color plates 101 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-12682-1 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

16 Aesthetics

Philosophy, Writing, and the Character of ThoughtJohn T. Lysaker“This book is a profound meditation on what it means to write philosophy in all the remarkable diversity of ways in which this has happened. Examples abound from a rich tapestry composed of figures from Plato through Emerson and Thoreau, into Heidegger, Cavell, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein. Lysaker’s own text defies all stan-dard genres—it is itself sui generis—as it creates its own original unique mixture of reflection and critique. . . . Lysaker shows that philosophy at its best is an experimentation and a provoca-tion; and his own text, at once learned and wry, humorous and dead serious, eloquent and force-ful, is both of these at once.”—Edward S. Casey, State University of New York at Stony Brook2018 224 p. 6 x 9 105 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-56956-7 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Aesthetics at LargeVolume 1: Art, Ethics, PoliticsThierry de Duve“Aesthetics at Large is a contemporary rereading of Kant’s third Critique. . . . De Duve intends his ‘critique’ of art and aesthetic appreciation to issue in a recovery of a Kantian moral and political thesis apt for our own disturbing time. His proposal is too strong to be ignored: its importance lies in the recovery of the holism of cultural concerns, in a reasoned refusal to treat the aesthetic and the political as easily separated issues, in his novel vindication of the full power of Kant’s thesis for our time.”—Joseph Margolis, Temple University2018 248 p. 6 x 9 17 halftones 106 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-54673-5 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Improvising ImprovisationFrom Out of Philosophy, Music, Dance, and LiteratureGary Peters“Peters presents a work on improvisation that is itself an improvisational work—what he calls in chapter 4 a ‘live enactment of aesthetic judg-ment.’. . .

Inferences with IgnoranceLogics of QuestionsMichal PelišInferences with Ignorance focuses on two formal logic systems that employ the type of inferences in which questions are used in addition to state-ments.

Essay on NegationFor a Linguistic AnthropologyPaolo VirnoTranslated by Lorenzo Chiesa

In Essay on Negation, Paolo Virno argues that the importance of the not is perhaps comparable only to that of money—that is, the universality of exchange. Negation is what separates verbal thought from silent cognitive operations, such as feelings and mental images.Distributed for Seagull Books

The Truth about LanguageWhat It Is and Where It Came FromMichael C. Corballis“Using a wealth of well-researched anecdotes about Neanderthals, cave paintings, gesturing apes, and well-trained border collies (to name a few), Corballis exemplifies moments of the hu-man and animal minds fine-tuning their abilities to communicate. His journey into the written world is equally broad and insightful.”—Kirkus Reviews2017 288 p. 6 x 9 10 halftones 115 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-28719-5 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00 NZ

Beyond WeirdWhy Everything You Thought You Knew about Quantum Physics Is DifferentPhilip Ball“This is the clearest and most insightful descrip-tion of quantum enigmas that I have ever read. I kept being astonished at how Ball seemed to make one mystery after another vanish. He makes quantum mysteries disappear without removing their uncanniness. Brilliant and in-novative, Beyond Weird may alter how quantum mechanics is taught not only to the public but also to physicists.”—Robert P.

Creatively UndecidedToward a History and Philosophy of Scientific AgencyMenachem Fisch“This volume raises essential epistemological questions in a text poised to make a lasting contribution to the scholarly community. Fisch develops the opposing insights of philosophers Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn. Fisch probes the question of how scientific theories change to develop a more complete theory of science as a rational endeavor. Ultimately, Fisch follows more in the footsteps of Kuhn, grounding his analysis on the understanding that in philosophy, ques-tioning is the piety of thought. . . . Overall, this is a remarkable book on critical thinking and the philosophy and history of science. Highly recommended.”—Choice2017 304 p. 6 x 9 121 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-51451-2 $37.50 Your Price: $30.00

Care and CureAn Introduction to Philosophy of MedicineJacob Stegenga“This is an exceptionally clear, accessible, and or-ganized introduction to key concepts and central debates in the philosophy of medicine. There is as yet no single author, comprehensive introduc-tion to this new field. Stegenga’s excellent book fills this lacuna.”—Anya Plutynski, Washington University in St. Louis2018 288 p. 6 x 9 2 tables 122 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-59503-0 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

The Moral Meaning of NatureNietzsche’s Darwinian Religion and Its CriticsPeter J. Woodford“In The Moral Meaning of Nature, Peter Woodford raises the question of the impact of naturalistic approaches to life on conceptions of value, science, and religion in the late nineteenth century, taking Friedrich Nietzsche as his point of departure. Woodford does an excellent job of showing how the concept of ‘life’ connects many strands of Nietzsche’s thought while also engaging a constellation of authors and their approaches, such as Overbeck and the study of religion, Simmel and the study of sociology, and Rickert and the neo-Kantian approach to val-ues.”—John H. Smith, University of California, Irvine 2018 208 p. 6 x 9 123 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-53989-8 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

New Edition

Nonsense on StiltsMassimo Pigliucci“Pigliucci’s attack of high-stilted nonsense not only offers a great service in a world that is lit-tered with irrational beliefs and pseudoscience, it is also an incisive and philosophically informed analysis of the nature of science and the pursuit of reliable knowledge. With books like [this] on the shelf, it is clear that there is more to skepti-cism than intellectual garbage disposal.”—Meta-science, on the first edition2018 336 p. 6 x 9 124 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-49599-6 $22.50 Your Price: $18.00

Idealization and the Aims of ScienceAngela Potochnik“In her exceptional book, Idealization and the Aims of Science, Angela Potochnik explores the nature of idealizations while accounting for why they are so ubiquitous. The picture of science that emerges from Potochnik’s work is that of a thoroughly human endeavor. Science is a tool that helps us navigate an extremely complex world. Potochnik’s picture of science is compel-ling and helps to ground an appreciation of how truly impressive the success of science is.”—Sci-ence & Education2017 288 p. 6 x 9 2 halftones, 8 line drawings, 6 tables 126 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-50705-7 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

PHILOSOPHYc8ea0384-b...Richard Sorabji “Sorabji traces discussions of conscience not just through the usual suspects, such as Socrates, Augustine, Aquinas, Butler, and Kant, but
