The Wild Card of Reading
Author: Rodolphe Gasché
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674952960
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
One of the most knowledgeable and provocative explicators of Paul de Man's writings, Rodolphe Gasché, a philosopher by training, demonstrates for the first time the systematic coherence of the critic's work, insisting that de Man continues to merit close attention despite his notoriously difficult and obscure style. Gasché shows that de Man's "reading" centers on a dimension of the texts that is irreducible to any possible meaning, a dimension characterized by the "absolutely singular." Given that de Man and Derrida are both termed deconstructionists, Gasché differentiates between the two by emphasizing Derrida's primary interest in "writing," and postulates that the best way to come to terms with de Man's works is to "read" them athwart the writings of Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Heidegger, and Derrida. He shows his respect for the "immanent logic" of de Man's thought--which he lays out in great detail--while revealing his uneasiness at the oddness of that thought and its consequences.

An Essence of the Dusk
Author: F. W. Bain
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
In 'An Essence of the Dusk' by F. W. Bain, the reader is transported to a world of mystical poetry and delicate beauty. The book is a collection of romantic poems that weave together themes of love, nature, and spirituality. Bain's lyrical style and vivid imagery create a dreamlike atmosphere that immerses the reader in a world of dusk-tinted emotions and timeless longing. This work is a masterpiece of late 19th-century romanticism, echoing the influences of Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats. F. W. Bain, a British author and scholar, was known for his translations of Eastern literary works and his deep knowledge of Sanskrit and Persian poetry. His expertise is evident in the intricate wordplay and cultural references found throughout 'An Essence of the Dusk'. Bain's own fascination with Eastern philosophies and mystical traditions likely influenced the themes and imagery present in this collection. I highly recommend 'An Essence of the Dusk' to readers who appreciate soul-stirring poetry and a deep exploration of human emotions. Bain's work is a treasure trove of beauty and wisdom, perfect for those seeking to delve into the depths of the human experience.

The Thought of John Sallis
Author: Bernard Freydberg
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
ISBN: 0810166119
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
John Sallis is one of America’s preeminent and most original contemporary philosophers. The absence, until now, of a com-prehensive work on Sallis has constituted a glaring oversight in philosophical scholarship. The Thought of John Sallis is both an introduction for students new to his work and a valuable resource for scholars needing a systematic consideration of Sallis’s wide-ranging thought. Sallis’s work possesses an intrinsic power and originality, as well as deep interpretive insight. This book is a descriptive and critical journey through his thought, providing an overview for readers who wish to gain a sense of its sweep, along with discrete sections on particular philosophical disciplines for readers whose interests are more specific. It grapples with the challenges Sallis’s thought presents, making them explicit and opening them up to further consideration. And it attempts to locate his thought within both contemporary continental philosophy and philosophy as a whole. Essential for any student of continental philosophy, The Thought of John Sallis expounds on his work in a manner that increases access, honors its depth, and opens up unexplored possibilities for phil-osophy.

Victorian Environmental Nightmares
Author: Laurence W. Mazzeno
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030140423
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
The twelve essays in Victorian Environmental Nightmares explore various “environmental nightmares” through applied analyses of Victorian texts. Over the course of the nineteenth century, writers of imaginative literature often expressed fears and concerns over environmental degradation (in its wide variety of meanings, including social and moral). In some instances, natural or environmental disasters influenced these responses; in other instances a growing awareness of problems caused by industrial pollution and the growth of cities prompted responses. Seven essays in this volume cover works about Britain and its current and former colonies that examine these nightmare environments at home and abroad. But as the remaining five essays in this collection demonstrate, “environmental nightmares” are not restricted to essays on actual disasters or realistic fiction, since in many cases Victorian writers projected onto imperial landscapes or wholly imagined landscapes in fantastic fiction their anxieties about how humans might change their environments—and how these environments might also change humans.
