Pages : 224
Book Description
Despite, or quite possibly because of, the structuralist, post-structuralist, and deconstructionist critiques of subjectivity, master signifiers, and political foundations, contemporary philosophy has been marked by a resurgence in interest in questions of subjectivity and the political. Guided by the contention that different conceptions of the political are, at least implicitly, committed to specific conceptions of subjectivity while different conceptions of subjectivity have different political implications, this collection brings together an international selection of scholars to explore these notions and their connection. Rather than privilege one approach or conception of the subjectivity-political relationship, this volume emphasizes the nature and status of the and in the ‘subjectivity’ and ‘the political’ schema. By thinking from the place between subjectivity and the political, it is able to explore this relationship from a multitude of perspectives, directions, and thinkers to show the heterogeneity, openness, and contested nature of it. While the contributions deal with different themes or thinkers, the themes/thinkers are linked historically and/or conceptually, thereby providing coherence to the volume. Thinkers addressed include Arendt, Butler, Levinas, Agamben, Derrida, Kristeva, Adorno, Gramsci, Mill, Hegel, and Heidegger, while the subjectivity-political relation is engaged with through the mediation of the law-political, ethics-politics, theological-political, inside-outside, subject-person, and individual-institution relationships, as well as through concepts such as genius, happiness, abjection, and ugliness. The original essays in this volume will be of interest to researchers in philosophy, politics, political theory, critical theory, cultural studies, history of ideas, psychology, and sociology.
Enabling Genius
Author: Myles Downey
Publisher: Lid Publishing
ISBN: 9781910649534
Category : Genius
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Humanity has played a fascinating trick upon itself: we freely acknowledge that there is potential in everyone and then act as if that potential is capped-capped somewhere short of genius. But what if genius is available to all? In the 21st Century, when the world is faced with many problems, some of which have the capacity to destroy us, putting a cap on potential is not what is required. What is required is a new understanding of genius-one that boldly states that genius is within the reach, no, the grasp, of each and every one of us. An understanding of genius that enables our communities, be they social or business, to survive and thrive. Although there is a vast amount of research and science about the nature of high performance, the science is fragmented and only coheres in a number of somewhat 'siloe-ed' disciplines: psychology, biology, neuroscience, social science, sports psychology and so on. Enabling Genius is for people who wish to explore the outer reaches of their potential. This original and powerful book provides a broad collaborative view on the scientific research of performance and presents a model for enabling genius that is concise and scientifically valid.
