Описание:

The reputation of the Marquis de Sade is well-founded. The experience of reading his works is demanding to an extreme. Violence and sexuality appear on almost every page, and these descriptions are interspersed with extended discourses on materialism, atheism, and crime. In this bold and rigorous study William S. Allen sets out the context and implications of Sade's writings in order to explain their lasting challenge to thought. For what is apparent from a close examination of his works is the breadth of his readings in contemporary science and philosophy, and so the question that has to be addressed is why Sade pursued these interests by way of erotica of the most violent kind.

Allen shows that Sade's interests lead to a form of writing that seeks to bring about a new mode of experience that is engaged in exploring the limits of sensibility through their material actualization. In common with other Enlightenment thinkers Sade is concerned with the place of reason in the world, a place that becomes utterly transformed by a materialism of endless excess. This concern underlies his interest in crime and sexuality, and thereby puts him in the closest proximity to thinkers like Kant and Diderot, but also at the furthest extreme, in that it indicates how far the nature and status of reason is perverted. It is precisely this materialist critique of reason that is developed and demonstrated in his works, and which their reading makes persistently, excessively, apparent.

Описание: This book is about the ways in which modern enlightenment, rather than liberating humanity from tyranny, has subjected us to new servitude imposed by systems of mass manipulation, electronic vigilance, compulsive consumerism, and the horrors of a seemingly unending global war on terror. The main intellectual aims of this title are the following: the analysis of spectacle, the criticism of providential enlightenment, and the examination of positive dialectics. The spectacle, in this case, is the apotheosis of the culture industries, a total inversion of reality and of our existences. Providential enlightenment is not only a critique of the failure of enlightenment, but of the mutilation of historical enlightenments. Positive dialectics signal a new era of intellectual engagement in the construction of our historical future. During a time in which national democracies seem an imperial farce, it is not enough for intellectuals faced with all this destruction to blithely recommend resistance. The book thus ties American, British, French and German theoretical traditions into a reflexive challenge to the notion of intellectual as critic, and argues instead for a trespassive tradition of cultural leadership.

It will be of great interest to advanced students and scholars of Kant`s philosophy of science, and to historians and philosophers of science more generally.

Описание: Ob�issant � la logique d'une sp�cialisation toujours plus grande, les soci�t�s contemporaines ne tiennent pas l'amateur en grande estime. Or, s'il est vrai que le 18e si�cle consacre le triomphe de cette figure, c'est aussi l'�poque o� s'amorce son irr�versible d�clin. Couvrant un large spectre de disciplines et d'aires culturelles au sein de l'Europe, les contributions de sp�cialistes r�unies dans ce volume permettent de mieux cerner ce moment-pivot de l'histoire culturelle.

Sans se limiter aux formes institutionnalis�es de l'amateurship �tudi�es par les historiens de l'art ou des sciences, l'ouvrage examine ainsi les relations que le non-professionnel entretient avec les gens de m�tier (dans la presse, le milieu musical ou litt�raire); la sp�cificit� des oeuvres qu'il produit et sa contribution au progr�s des arts et des sciences; l'�mergence, � l'�ge de l'esth�tique naissante, d'un amateur compris comme instance de jugement; la mani�re dont il est investi par les discours et annex� � leurs logiques propres (en tant que fiction litt�raire, id�al ou ethos). Observer le ph�nom�ne dans ses manifestations plurielles, confronter l'ordre des r�alit�s et celui des repr�sentations, articuler les diverses approches sur la question: l'enjeu, on l'aura compris, est moins de d�finir une quelconque identit� de l'amateur, que d'interroger sa raison d'�tre.

---

Amateurs are not particularly appreciated in our ever specialising contemporary societies. Yet the figure of the amateur was highly celebrated in the eighteenth century, even though its irremediable decline began at the same time. The articles collected in this book allow a better understanding of this turning point in cultural history as they cover a wide spectrum of academic disciplines and European cultural areas.

This book does not only deal with the institutionalised forms of amateurship that have been studied by art historians and historians of science. This work considers the relationships that non-professionals had with professionals (working in periodicals, in the musical world, or in the book trade); the specificity of the works that amateurs produced and their contribution to the progress of arts and sciences; the rise of the amateur as a judging instance in a period that saw the development of aesthetics; and the way this figure was handled in different discourses and subjected to their own logics (whether as a literary fiction, an ideal or an ethos). Since this collective work focuses on the phenomenon of amateurship in its diverse manifestations, confronts the real to its representations, and articulates different perspectives on the subject, it obviously does not aim at defining any identity for the amateur, but rather intends to question its raison d'�tre.

Описание: Explores how Kant`s account of religion provides the church with a role in establishing a cosmopolitan order of peace. In this context, politics and religion are social modalities in which humanity enacts its moral vocation to bring lasting peace among all peoples.

Описание: The history of the relation between religion and Enlightenment has been virtually rewritten In recent decades. The idea of a fairly unidirectional 'rise of paganism', or 'secularisation', has been replaced by a much more variegated panorama of interlocking changes--not least in the nature of both religion and rationalism. This volume explores developments in various cultural fields--from lexicology to geographical exploration, and from philosophy and history to theology, media and the arts--involved in the transformation of worldviews in the decades around 1700. The main focus is on the Dutch Republic, where discussion culture was more inclusive than in most other countries, and where people from very different walks of life joined the conversation.

Contributors include: Wiep van Bunge, Frank Daudeij, Martin Gierl, Albert Gootjes, Trudelien van 't Hof, Jonathan Israel, Henri Krop, Fred van Lieburg, Jaap Nieuwstraten, Joke Spaans, Jetze Touber, and Arthur Weststeijn.

Описание: While the work is a history of the Dialectic of Enlightenment`s Anglophone reception, it also reflects the post-1968 left`s retreat to academia, which echoes the Frankfurt School`s own stance of political resignation.
