Kierkegaard as Psychologist
Author: Vincent McCarthy
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810131323
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Kierkegaard’s psychological thought has always been acknowledged as very rich—Reinhold Niebuhr hailed him as the greatest psychologist of the soul since Augustine—and has had a major influence on Heidegger, Sartre, and existential psychoanalysis. Nevertheless, his accomplishment has not always been fully appreciated, in part because it is so scattered across his works. As Vincent McCarthy demonstrates in Kierkegaard as Psychologist, Kierkegaard was pursuing “psychology” before there was a formally recognized academic field bearing that name, and a coherent thread runs through the so-called pseudonymous works. McCarthy elucidates often-difficult texts, highlights the rich psychological dimension of Kierkegaard’s thought, and provides an introduction for the nonspecialist and a commentary on Kierkegaard’s psychology that will interest both specialists and nonspecialists, while engaging in rich comparisons with such figures as Freud and Heidegger.

The Great Detective
Author: Zach Dundas
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 054422020X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
A rollicking look at popular culture’s most beloved sleuth: “For even the casual fan, the history of this deathless character is fascinating” (The Boston Globe). Today he is the inspiration for fiction adaptations, blockbuster movies, hit television shows, raucous Twitter banter, and thriving subcultures. More than a century after Sherlock Holmes first capered into our world, what is it about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s peculiar creation that continues to fascinate us? Journalist and lifelong Sherlock fan Zach Dundas set out to find the answer. The result is The Great Detective: a history of an idea, a biography of someone who never lived, a tour of the borderland between reality and fiction, and a joyful romp through the world Conan Doyle bequeathed us. In this “wonderful book” (Booklist, starred review), Dundas unearths the inspirations behind Holmes and his indispensable companion, Dr. John Watson; explores how they have been kept alive over the decades by writers, actors, and readers; and visits locales—from the boozy annual New York City gathering of one of the world’s oldest and most exclusive Sherlock Holmes fan societies; to a freezing Devon heath out of The Hound of the Baskervilles; to sunny Pasadena, where Dundas chats with the creators of the smash BBC series Sherlock. Along the way, he discovers the ingredients that have made Holmes go viral—then, now, and as long as the game’s afoot.

ISBN: 9781937902070
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Michael Krohnen's memoir of conversations and life with Jiddu Krishnamurti. From the author's foreword to the 2nd edition: J. Krishnamurti's long and creative life ended in 1986. Subsequently, it took me about ten years to originally compose this book. It was first published in 1997. It presents a view of a great, liberated human being's daily life, from the perspective of his chef who had regular interaction with him. This memoir aims to convey his great sense of humor, to share his anecdotes and jokes, but also to touch on the more serious aspects of his teaching. This second edition keeps a memoir in print that aims to present Krishnamurti in his everyday life-sharing one person's perception of this most extraordinary human being. He lived the teachings.
