On the Great Atlantic Rainway: Selected Poems 1950-1988
Author: Kenneth Koch
File Type: epub
On the Great Atlantic Railway is Kenneths Kochs inspired collection of 32 years of work. Koch, David Lehman said in The American Poetry Review, is a masterly innovator . . . who has used his extravagant powers of wit and invention to enlarge the sphere of the poetic . . . he has stretched our ideas of what it is possible to do in poetry. From the Trade Paperback edition.**From Publishers WeeklyThis selection of poems by Koch (Seasons on Earth) is a thoroughly enjoyable assortment of work (including a few unpublished poems from the 50s). Kochs imagination is at once philosophical and fiercely whimsical his digressions are always clever. Lines from Fresh Air capture the frustrations felt by his generation of writers in the 50s and 60s Where are young poets in America, they are trembling in publishing houses and universities, Above all they are trembling in universities, they are bathing the library steps with their spit They are gargling out innocuous (to whom?) poems about maple trees and their children... Oh what worms they are! They wish to perfect their form. Also featured are excerpts from longer poetical works, most notably The Art of Poetry, detailing 10 rules to be observed before a poet releases a poem into the purview of others (the seventh Is there any unwanted awkwardness, cheap effects... or other literary, kiss-me-Im-poetic junk?). At times, one could read Kochs playfulness as a cheap effect, yet that would be unfair. For another Koch poetic directive is to be young in ones heart. Whether writing with virtuoso skill in ottava rima, blank verse or free verse, Koch practices what he preaches. 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

BADIO
49388
Author: William Watkin
File Type: pdf
The first critical work to attempt the mammoth undertaking of reading Badious Being and Event as part of a sequence has often surprising, occasionally controversial results. Looking back on its publication Badiou declared I had inscribed my name in the history of philosophy?. Later he was brave enough to admit that this inscription needed correction. The central elements of Badious philosophy only make sense when Being and Event is read through the corrective prism of its sequel, Logics of Worlds, published nearly twenty years later. At the same time as presenting the only complete overview of Badious philosophical project, this book is also the first to draw out the central component of Badious ontology indifference. Concentrating on its use across the core elements Being and Event-the void, the multiple, the set and the event-Watkin demonstrates that no account of Badious ontology is complete unless it accepts that Badious philosophy is primarily a presentation of indifferent being. Badiou and Indifferent Being provides a detailed and lively section by section reading of Badious foundational work. It is a seminal source text for all Badiou readers. **Review Watkins is a very important book. Much of the commentary on Badiou has tended to move his politics to the centre of his thought. With meticulousness, clarity and rigour, Watkin works rather through Badious philosophization of mathematics, liberating the philosopher qua philosopher, the thinker whose awesome achievement has been to recast and transform our understanding of a major set of traditional philosophical terms. This book returns us to what is most gripping about Badiou, his stark, courageous and deeply uncontemporary asceticism. -- Andrew Gibson, former Research Professor of Modern Literature and Theory, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK About the Author William Watkin is Professor of Contemporary Literature and Philosophy at Brunel University, UK.

OUT O
100295
Author: Richard A. Cohen
File Type: pdf
Explores the fundamental confrontations between Spinoza and Levinas in ethics, politics, science, and religion. After the end of superstitious religion, what is the meaning of the world? Baruch Spinoza&rsquos answer is truth, Emmanuel Levinas&rsquos is goodness science versus ethics. In Out of Control, Richard A. Cohen brings this debate to life, providing a nuanced exposition of Spinoza and Levinas and the confrontations between them in ethics, politics, science, and religion. Spinoza is the control, the inexorable defensive logic of administrative rationality, where freedom is equated to necessity&mdasha seventeenth-century glimpse of Orwellian doublespeak and Big Brother. Levinas is the way out transcendence not of God, being, and logic but of the other person experienced as moral obligation. To alleviate the suffering of others&mdashnothing is more important! Spinoza wagers everything on mathematical truth, discarding the rest as ignorance and illusion for Levinas, nothing surpasses the priorities of morality and justice, to create a world in which humans can be human and not numbers or consumers, drudges or robots. Situating these two thinkers in today&rsquos context, Out of Control responds to the fear of dehumanization in a world flattened by the alliance of positivism and plutocracy. It offers a nonideological ethical alternative, a way out and up, in the nobility of one human being helping another, and the solidarity that moves from morality to justice. &ldquoCohen&rsquos work here is nothing short of spectacular. His analysis of the mathematical and scientific foundations of Spinoza&rsquos philosophy is exemplary. Lucidly, meticulously, and with very disciplined analysis he conveys the force, power, and influence of Spinoza&rsquos philosophy on contemporary religious thought.&rdquo &mdash Richard I. Sugarman, University of Vermont &ldquoRichard Cohen has managed to not merely bring these two notoriously difficult philosophers into conversation with each other, but to do so in an extremely readable way. Indeed, he is able to explain extremely difficult philosophical disputes with clarity and to convey a palpable sense of excitement.&rdquo &mdash Robert Erlewine, author of Monotheism and Tolerance Recovering a Religion of Reason

ROMAN
111643
Author: Christine Lehleiter
File Type: pdf
At the turn of the eighteenth century, selfhood was understood as a tabula rasa to be imprinted in the course of an individuals life. By the middle of the nineteenth-century, however, the individual had become defined as determined by heredity already from birth. Examining novels by Goethe, Jean Paul, and E.T.A. Hoffmann, studies on plant hybridization, treatises on animal breeding, and anatomical collections, Romanticism, Origins, and the History of Heredity delineates how romantic authors imagined the ramifications of emerging notions of heredity for the conceptualization of selfhood. Focusing on three fields of inquiryinbreeding and incest, cross-breeding and bastardization, evolution and autopoiesisChristine Lehleiter proposes that the notion of selfhood for which Romanticism has become known was not threatened by considerations of determinism and evolution, but was in fact already a result of these very considerations. Romanticism, Origins and the History of Heredity will be of interest for literary scholars, historians of science, and all readers fascinated by the long duree of subjectivity and evolutionary thought. **

THE P
137284
Author: Michael Richard Laffin
File Type: pdf
Michael Laffin demonstrates the promise of Martin Luthers thought for contemporary political theology by showing how Luther has been over-determined in standard genealogies of modernity which frequently deafen us to his unique contribution. Laffin argues that contemporary theologians have typically followed a narrative derived from the work of a previous generation of political historians and philosophers, which tend to screen out or distort the Reformers contribution to political theory. Common to these narratives are charges against Luther for his perceived univocal and nominal ontology resulting in a privatized and spiritualized Christianity, thus falsely dividing the world into autonomous spheres. Additionally, the narratives claim that Luther follows in the wake of voluntarism, leading to an insistence on human passivity that leaves no room for pagan virtue. Thus, politics is reduced to an authoritarian imposition of order. In contrast to the dominant narratives of political modernity, Laffin re-examines these narratives by focusing on the political significance of areas in Luthers corpus often neglected in contemporary accounts of his political thought, especially his commentaries on Scripture and writings on the sacraments. Attention to these writings brings forth the crucial themes of the two ecclesiae and the three institutions. Constructively, these themes are deployed in critical engagement with contemporary political theology, particularly as represented in Radical Orthodoxy and the new-Augustinianism.

GRAMM
75542
Author: Catherine M. Chin
File Type: pdf
Between the years 350 and 500 a large body of Latin artes grammaticae emerged, educational texts outlining the study of Latin grammar and attempting a systematic discussion of correct Latin usage. These textsthe most complete of which are attributed to Donatus, Charisius, Servius, Diomedes, Pompeius, and Priscianhave long been studied as documents in the history of linguistic theory and literary scholarship. In Grammar and Christianity in the Late Roman World, Catherine Chin instead finds within them an opportunity to probe the connections between religious ideology and literary culture in the later Roman Empire. To Chin, the production and use of these texts played a decisive role both in the construction of a pre-Christian classical culture and in the construction of Christianity as a religious entity bound to a religious text. In exploring themes of utopian writing, pedagogical violence, and the narration of the self, the book describes the multiple ways literary education contributed to the idea that the Roman Empire and its inhabitants were capable of converting from one culture to another, from classical to Christian. The study thus reexamines the tensions between these two idealized cultures in antiquity by suggesting that, on a literary level, they were produced simultaneously through reading and writing techniques that were common across the empire. In bringing together and reevaluating fundamental topics from the fields of religious studies, classics, education, and literary criticism, Grammar and Christianity in the Late Roman World offers readers from these disciplines the opportunity to reconsider the basic conditions under which religions and cultures interact. **html
