The Modern Philosophical Revolution
Author: David Walsh
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139475207
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
The Modern Philosophical Revolution breaks new ground by demonstrating the continuity of European philosophy from Kant to Derrida. Much of the literature on European philosophy has emphasised the breaks that have occurred in the course of two centuries of thinking. But as David Walsh argues, such a reading overlooks the extent to which Kant, Hegel, and Schelling were already engaged in the turn toward existence as the only viable mode of philosophising. Where many similar studies summarise individual thinkers, this book provides a framework for understanding the relationships between them. Walsh thus dispels much of the confusion that assails readers when they are only exposed to the bewildering range of positions taken by the philosophers he examines. His book serves as an indispensable guide to a philosophical tradition that continues to have resonance in the post-modern world.

Mobility and the Hotel in Modern Literature
Author: Emma Short
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030221296
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
This book considers the complex ways in which the hotel functions to express the shifting experiences of modernity in the works of such authors as Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins, Arnold Bennett, H.G. Wells, and Elizabeth Bowen. The text contributes to the critical debates on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature concerning space, movement, and mobility, arguing that the hotel reconfigures boundaries of modernist, middlebrow, and popular fiction. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary theoretical and analytical perspectives, the book provides a critical and cultural history of the hotel in British literature, charting its changing nature and usage from the mid-nineteenth century up until the interwar period.

Secularism and State Religion in Modern Turkey
Author: Emir Kaya
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786732297
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
The Diyanet, the official face of Islam in Turkey, is the `Presidency of Religious Affairs', a governmental department established in 1924 after the break-up of the Ottoman Empire and the abolition of Caliphate. In this book, Emir Kaya offers an in-depth multidisciplinary analysis of this vital institution. Focusing on the role of the Diyanet in society, Kaya explores the balance the institution has to strike between the Muslim traditions of the Turkish population and the secular creed of the Turkish state. By examining the various laws that either bolstered or hindered the Diyanet's budgets and activities, Kaya highlights the institutional mindsets of the Diyanet membership. He also evaluates its successes and failures as a state department that must consistently operate within the context of the religiosity of Turkish society. By situating all of this within the two competing - but often complimentary - concepts of religion and secularism, Kaya offers a book that is important for those researching the interplay of Islam and the state in Turkey and beyond.

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
As breathing is essential for our life to sustain so is criticism for all types of literature to flourish. It regulates and controls quality production of the literary activities. It links the creators of literature to the readers. It is of various types say for instance theoretical criticism, practical criticism, eco criticism and so on. Critics of the different languages of the world have been contributing to the domain of criticism over a wide span of time period say from BC. to AD. They have set the yard sticks or the principles or parameters or the rules of evaluation of literature and collection of such rules is called as literary theories. The present edition Modern and Ancient Literary Theories is an exhaustive critical commentary on the chosen critics of the world level. We know the writers have been creating literature in almost every language which is written and read but who would keep an account of its worth. It may or may not be up to the standard of quality reading and appreciation so it comes to share of critics to shoulder this responsibility to allow fine quality literature to flourish and worth less literature to sink down and for this process to administer the critics need the literary theories which this book supplies in short, concise and appropriate form. Besides the community of critics, the collection of the literary theories is needed by the young aspirants of literary studies who want to be story writers, poets, dramatists, novelists and the writers of the tales. These guidelines of literary criticism tell them of the basic requirements with the help of which these literary genres can be composed. These critical standards also sharpen their literary craftsmanship and intellectuality. Every year so many college and university students prepare for their examination and they have to lay their hand on different books on literary theories but in this book sincere efforts have been done to induct the study material at one place to minimize the inconvenience that is caused to the community of the students. This book is self-sufficient and self- explanatory to deal with the critical standards of the various critics and it will help those readers pursuing studies in the principles of criticism or literary theories. The author would like to express his sincere thanks to the Publisher HORIZON BOOKS (A DIVISION OF IGNITED MINDS EDUTECH PVT LTD and his friend Mr. Maman Chand for motivating him to write this book and Mr. Sunil Saini and Mr. Nandan Singh for assisting him in the computer work to design this book.
