Derrida on the Threshold of Sense
This book considers in turn Derrida's treatment of the theories of signification proposed by Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, Saussure and Lévi-Strauss, Austin, and Searle. Derrida's anasemiological deconstruction of semiology is examined in the light of Nietzsche's views of truth and in relation to some of the problems regarding meaning that have received the attention of Frege, Wittgenstein, Goodman, and Quine. Among the topics discussed are metaphor, the middle voice, the imagination, necessity, and chance, Freud on the uncanny, and the paradoxes of undecidability that seem to be generated by the classical logic of classification, traditional ways of opposing inside and outside, modern ways of opposing Analytic and so-called Continental philosophy.
The Philosophical Theory of Threshold
The Philosophical Theory of Threshold is a united theory of the scattered and ignored things in the society but are there and are very useful if they get squeezed properly. This theory is derived from deep analysis and surveys.
Knowing Other-wise
Tracing connections between epistemology, ethics, and spirituality - between "knowing" and the "other," between an other and the Other - all the essays serve as points of convergence between postmodern discussions and the Calvinist spirituality which is the home for writers in this collection. In particular, this collection explores the contributions of feminist thought and such thinkers as Emmanuel Levinas, Richard Rorty, Jacques Derrida, and John D.
Threshold Concepts in Practice
Threshold Concepts in Practice brings together fifty researchers from sixteen countries and a wide variety of disciplines to analyse their teaching practice, and the learning experiences of their students, through the lens of the Threshold Concepts Framework. In any discipline, there are certain concepts--the 'jewels in the curriculum'--whose acquisition is akin to passing through a portal. Learners enter new conceptual (and often affective) territory. Previously inaccessible ways of thinking or practising come into view, without which they cannot progress, and which offer a transformed internal view of subject landscape, or even world view. These conceptual gateways are integrative, exposin...
The (Coming) Age of Thresholding
As a philosopher, Stephen Erickson considers himself a messenger of sorts and the message he is delivering is an important and groundbreaking one. He convincingly argues that we are entering into a new historical moment, a period which will only be properly defined and named by those who come after us, as were the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Erickson predicts a failure and eventual breakdown of traditional values and institutions resulting in a dramatic change in our understanding of human life. This he illustrates with clear examples from contemporary political, economic and religious circumstances. To lessen the impact of this dramatic changeover, which will be initially experienced...
Philosophy of Technology
The corps of philosophers who make up the Society for Philosophy & Technology has now been collaborating, in one fashion or another, for almost fifteen years. In addition, the number of philosophers, world-wide, who have begun to focus their analytical skills on technology and related social problems grows increasingly every year. {It would certainly swell the ranks if all of them joined the Society!) It seems more than ap propriate, in this context, to publish a miscellaneous volume that em phasizes the extraordinary range and diversity of contemporary contribu tions to the philosophical understanding of the exceedingly complex phenomenon that is modern technology. My thanks, once again, to the anonymous referees who do so much to maintain standards for the series. And thanks also to the secretaries - Mary Imperatore and Dorothy Milsom - in the Philosophy Department at the University of Delaware; their typing and retyping of the MSS, and especially notes and references, also contributes to keeping our standards high.

Thresholds
This is a collection of essays that all have in common that they represent thresholds - sites where can begin the arduous path of self-transformation. It is secondarily a philosophical book. All the essays are informed to a lesser or greater degree by the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, anthroposophy. For those who don't know anthroposophy, it provides an excellent introduction in the essay "Discovering a Genius," Also included are essays of the aesthetics of music, figurative language in the Bible, Gilles Deleuze, Joseph Beuys & more.
Singularities at the Threshold
In Singularities at the Threshold: The Ontology of Unrest, Bruno Gullì calls into question the concept of the independent and sovereign individual of the liberal (and neoliberal) tradition from the standpoint of the ontology of singularity, that is, the plural constitution of what appears to be an individual. Singularity is not the result of a process of individuation, but the process itself. He argues that the process of individuation—whereby at each stage everything appears to be individuated as such, to be an individual thing—is in reality always already plural, a process of transindividuation, or better, trans-dividuation. Gullì further examines why singularity is usually confused with individuality; what comes after the sovereign and independent individual, after the subject; and what the role of subversive and liberated singularities is in bringing about a new ethos and a better world.
Threshold
Written on the horizon where land meets sea, before embarking on a voyage to find the horizons of the Mind, this book take you first on a journey through yesteryear and the 'Ways' of rural farmers. Then contrasting that old Way with modernity, and drawing ideas both from Physics and ancient Taoism, a new way to understand Mind, Thought, and Self is explored. Using Logic in its original ancient sense while blending insights into the structure and nature of music with Eastern Philosophy, we embark on an actual voyage down the East coast of England in the company of an old sea-nomad, to explore a new 'Fluid-Binary' way of thinking.Threshold looks behind Einstein and the new view of Space-Time to explore how we can account for Thought, Mind, and Identity in the new reality that is a fluidly dynamic world of energy.
