Jefferson’s writings on morality and the moral sense have typically been ignored by scholars. Why?

Challenges the “desert character” of modern culture.

Demonstrates that living an ethical life requires a mode of perception that is best called ethical perception. Specifically,

George L. Mosse Series in Modern European Cultural and Intellectual History

Tackles a question as old as Plato and still pressing today: what is reason, and what roles does and should it have in human endeavour? Applying the tools of intellectual history, Martin Jay examines the overlapping, but not fully compatible, meanings that have accrued to the term “reason” over two millennia, homing in on moments of crisis, critique, and defense of reason.The University of Wisconsin Press

Presents new translations of three introductions to Plato’s thought from

Examines the relationship of truth and time from a

perspective that draws on Martin Heidegger’s inquiry into the question of being, as well as twentieth-century analytic philosophy of language and logic.

Ours is an age full of desires but impoverished in its understanding of where those desires lead - an age that claims mastery over the world but also claims to find the world as a whole absurd or unintelligible. In this work, James Matthew Wilson seeks to conserve the great insights of the western tradition by giving us a new account of them responsive to modern discontents.

Contests Emmanuel Levinas’s idea that Plato is a philosopher of freedom for whom thought is a return to the self. Instead, Plato, like Levinas, is a philosopher of the other. Nonetheless, Deborah Achtenberg argues, Plato and Levinas are different. Though they view human beings as essentially vulnerable and in relation to others, they conceive human vulnerability and responsiveness differently.

Diaeresis

Contemporary materialist philosophy is either Spinozist or Hegelian.

The Enneads of Plotinus

How was the universe created, and what is our place within it? These are the questions at the heart of this book. For the Gnostics, the universe came into being as a result of the soul’s fall from intelligible reality - it is the evil outcome of a botched creation. Plotinus challenges this, and insists that the soul’s creation of the world is the necessary consequence of its contemplation of the ideal forms.

A critical rhetorical history of American Transcendentalists that interprets a selection of major works between the years 1821 and 1852 as political and ethical responses to the growing crises of their times.

How did rhetoric begin and what was it before it was called “rhetoric”? Must art have a name to be considered art? What were the differences among poets, philosophers, sophists, and rhetoricians before Plato emphasized their differences? Robin Reames attempts to intervene in these and other questions by examining the status of rhetorical theory in texts that predate Plato’s coining of the term “rhetoric”.

STUDIES IN PHENOMENOLOGY AND EXISTENTIAL PHILOSOPHY SERIESHaving its roots in phenomenology and existentialism, the Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy series, published by Northwestern University Press, has brought out an impressive selection of works fundamental to continental philosophy for nearly five decades, including works by and about Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Paul Ricoeur, and Edmund Husserl. In addition to making classical authors and texts available to contemporary readers, this series is committed to providing translations of key international books and to publishing a new generation of thinkers.

Heidegger’s later thought is a thinking of things, so argues Andrew J. Mitchell. Heidegger understands these things in terms of what he names “the fourfold” - a convergence of relationships bringing together the earth, the sky, divinities, and mortals. Mitchell’s book is the first detailed exegesis of this neglected aspect of Heidegger’s later thought.

Michel Henry defends the illuminating thesis that Incarnation is not existence in a body, but existence in the flesh. It is not in a body that flesh appears originally, but being in the flesh that comes first. For only in flesh can one see or touch, feel joy or sorrow, hunger or thirst–and undergo each of these impressions as one’s own.
