Professional Philosophy and Its Myths

Professional Philosophy and Its Myths

In Professional Philosophy and Its Myths, Rebekah Spera and David M. Peña-Guzmán argue that academic philosophy is steeped in a host of myths that keep professional philosophers in a state of self-ignorance. Understood as unconscious schemas that shape philosophers’ collective imaginary, these myths perform a dangerous ideological function within the discipline. Not only do they contribute to the overwhelming demographic homogeneity of the profession—ensuring that philosophy remains a holdout of white and male dominance—but they also prevent philosophers from seeing themselves as workers who, like all workers who sell their labor for a wage under capital, are subject to alienation, exploitation, and oppression. After outlining and critiquing these myths, Spera and Peña-Guzmán call upon philosophers to collectively invent new myths that will enrich rather than impoverish their psychic and professional lives. Through these new myths, they argue, a new philosophy—a “philosophy of the future”—will be born.

After Emerson

The author of Emerson & Self-Culture shares essays covering such themes as identity, experience, ethics, poetry, philosophy, history, and race. John T. Lysaker works between and weaves together questions and replies in philosophical psychology, Emerson studies, and ethics in this book of deep existential questioning. Each essay in this atypical, philosophical book employs recurring terms, phrases, and questions that characterize our contemporary age. Setting out from the idea of where we are in an almost literal sense, Lysaker takes readers on an intellectual journey into thematic concerns and commitments of broad interest, such as the nature of self and self-experience, ethical life, poetry...

The Rise of Neoliberal Philosophy

The Rise of Neoliberal Philosophy

In The Rise of Neoliberal Philosophy: Human Capital, Profitable Knowledge, and the Love of Wisdom, Brandon Absher argues that the neoliberal transformation of higher education has resulted in a paradigm shift in philosophy in the United States, leading to the rise of neoliberal philosophy. Neoliberal philosophy seeks to attract investment by demonstrating that it can produce optimal return. Further, philosophers in the neoliberal paradigm internalize and reproduce the values of the prevailing social order in their work, reorienting philosophical desire toward the production of attractive commodities. The aim of philosophy in the neoliberal university, Absher shows, has become the production of human capital and profitable knowledge.

When Animals Dream

A spellbinding look at the philosophical and moral implications of animal dreaming Are humans the only dreamers on Earth? What goes on in the minds of animals when they sleep? When Animals Dream brings together behavioral and neuroscientific research on animal sleep with philosophical theories of dreaming. It shows that dreams provide an invaluable window into the cognitive and emotional lives of nonhuman animals, giving us access to a seemingly inaccessible realm of animal experience. David Peña-Guzmán uncovers evidence of animal dreaming throughout the scientific literature, suggesting that many animals run “reality simulations” while asleep, with a dream-ego moving through a dynamic...

Quando gli animali sognano

Se gli uomini di notte sognano di volare, cosa accade a un uccello che dorme? Questo libro è un'esplorazione delle attività oniriche delle specie non umane: un'indagine che apre una finestra sui loro comportamenti a occhi chiusi e sulla loro vita interiore. David M. Peña-Guzmán si immerge in uno dei misteri da sempre sotto al nostro sguardo, eppure tuttora solo in parte risolto: l'uomo è davvero l'unico animale a vivere emozioni, stimoli e visioni oltre la veglia? Mettendo a confronto i dati delle più recenti ricerche comportamentiste e neuroscientifiche con le teorie dei filosofi della mente, Peña-Guzmán cerca di fare il punto su ciò che sappiamo sul sonno dei nostri coinquilini de...

In this book, Livingston develops the political implications of formal results obtained over the course of the twentieth century in set theory, metalogic, and computational theory. He argues that the results achieved by thinkers such as Cantor, Russell, Godel, Turing, and Cohen, even when they suggest inherent paradoxes and limitations to the structuring capacities of language or symbolic thought, have far-reaching implications for understanding the nature of political communities and their development and transformation. Alain Badiou's analysis of logical-mathematical structures forms the backbone of his comprehensive and provocative theory of ontology, politics, and the possibilities of ra...

Art-Based Research in the Context of a Global Pandemic

  • Categories: Art

Living through the Covid-19 global pandemic has changed the way that we experience our lives, the way that we relate to one-another, and the way that we engage with the world. Focusing contextually on the initial lockdowns of the pandemic in 2020, this book proposes that art-based research has a central, illuminative role to play in our understanding of unfolding crises. The changes brought on by the global event may not be readily accessible or expressible through traditional academic research. Art-based research offers the opportunity to explore, document, and reflect on the emerging and often ineffable qualities of transformed lives by drawing on emotional, bodily, and interactive aspects...
