Book Description
Transfigurements develops a framework for thinking about art through innovative readings of some of the most important philosophical writing on the subject by Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger. Sallis exposes new layers in their texts and theories while also marking their limits. By doing so, his aim is to show that philosophy needs to attend to art directly. Consequently, Sallis also addresses a wide range of works of art, including paintings by Raphael, Monet, and Klee; Shakespeare’s comedies; and the music of Beethoven, Schubert, Mahler, and Tan Dun. Through these interpretations, he puts forth a compelling new elaboration of the philosophy of art.

Art's Philosophical Work
Author: Andrew Benjamin
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1783482915
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
What is the work of art? How does art work as art? Andrew Benjamin contends that the only way to address these questions is by developing a radically new materialist philosophy of art, and by rethinking the history of art from within that perspective. A materialist philosophy of art starts with the contention that meaning is only ever the after effect of the way in which materials work. Starting with the relation between history, materials and work (art’s work), this book opens up a highly original reconfiguration of the philosophy of art. Benjamin undertakes a major project that seeks to develop a set of complex interarticulations between art history and an approach to art’s work that emphasizes art’s material presence. A philosophy of art emerges from the limitations of aesthetics.

Critical and Creative Research Methodologies in Social Work
Author: Lia Bryant
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131715763X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Social work research is concerned with complex social issues closely connected to communities of people who are marginalized and oppressed. This volume develops critical and creative research methodologies that place questions of social justice at their centre and take innovative approaches to collecting, analysing, interpreting and presenting research data. The first section of the book examines textual data produced from an array of methodologies focused on the spoken and/or written word. These approaches allow those who are often silenced to speak by providing space and time to capture memory and meanings that may not come to light in a time driven structured research method like an interview or a questionnaire. The second section of the book discusses visual methods, including an examination of historical artefacts like, photographs and objects, and participant engagement with art, specifically clay sculpture and drawings. Both sets of methods examine the concept of ’time’, that is, how we understand time, as in our past memories, how we develop relationships and knowledge over time. These creative and critical methods provide new insights into ways of undertaking social research in social work which captures the complexity of social experiences, problems and meanings that are, more often than not, embedded in time and place.

Prayers from Heaven
Author: Petera Boice
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
Whether by the universal script of the Bible or by personal anecdotes, God shares His commonality of faith and experience. He is the same throughout time to all, even personally. The only flaw is sometimes our script of writing style is inadequate to universal dimensions. The writing here means to be experiential and universal by lovingly implication. By the lines of the woundedness we have that we surrender to Him, He teaches us healing depending on our affliction. The lines of woundedness are across our heart and soul. It comes down to a deeper surrender and touch. He suffered failings at college and work. Finally, he turned to God. He went from his episcopal church to the assemblies of God. There he became honest and felt the healing of a whole spirit. After the sinner's prayer and a second baptism, he felt whole. At the water baptism, he was totally immersed and made a quick prayer before the dunking, "to be in the center of God's will for him." He wanted to speak in tongues so he joined a Life in the Spirit Seminar and received tongues, speaking, and discernment. He became a charismatic Catholic and joined a charismatic Catholic church, Bread of Life. He recorded his discernments in the quiet of his home. In writing, he was expressing the language of the Kingdom of God. His parents grew older, and he cared for them in their elder ages, nineteen years. It was a privilege and an act of love. At that time, his charismatic prayer group, Light in the World, folded. Later, at a nursing home, he was encouraged to publish. He still writes.

A Medical Scientist Examines the Life of Jesus
Author: Peter Elwood
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543494811
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
During more than fifty years in medical research, Elwood honed his skills in evaluating evidence—evidence of benefit from drugs, from clinical procedures, and above all, from lifestyle. The overall aim throughout was not just an increase in survival but also the enriching of the health and the well-being of patients. In this book, Elwood examines the person and the life of Jesus and its relevance to our daily lives and to our relationships. Starting with the virgin birth, he examines the evidence in the story by Mary that her conception and pregnancy were unique and are consistent with the person of Jesus having a human and a divine origin. He then examines the life and teaching of Jesus and shows how this can enrich and give purpose to the lives of those who follow Jesus. Finally, Elwood reconstructs the details of the death and the resurrection of Jesus and attempts to explain some of the underlying purposes and meaning for us of these events. In neither his medical work nor in this book does Elwood ever claim proof, freely admitting there is always another possible explanation. Throughout the book, Elwood sees faith as one possible response to evidence, but he commends the seeking of further evidence as an indication of honest doubt on the part of the inquirer.

Art and Truth after Plato
Author: Tom Rockmore
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022604002X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Despite its foundational role in the history of philosophy, Plato’s famous argument that art does not have access to truth or knowledge is now rarely examined, in part because recent philosophers have assumed that Plato’s challenge was resolved long ago. In Art and Truth after Plato, Tom Rockmore argues that Plato has in fact never been satisfactorily answered—and to demonstrate that, he offers a comprehensive account of Plato’s influence through nearly the whole history of Western aesthetics. Rockmore offers a cogent reading of the post-Platonic aesthetic tradition as a series of responses to Plato’s position, examining a stunning diversity of thinkers and ideas. He visits Aristotle’s Poetics, the medieval Christians, Kant’s Critique of Judgment, Hegel’s phenomenology, Marxism, social realism, Heidegger, and many other works and thinkers, ending with a powerful synthesis that lands on four central aesthetic arguments that philosophers have debated. More than a mere history of aesthetics, Art and Truth after Plato presents a fresh look at an ancient question, bringing it into contemporary relief.
