Lost in Dialogue: Anthropology, Psychopathology, and Care
Author: Giovanni Stanghellini
File Type: pdf
To be human means to be in dialogue. Dialogue is a unitary concept used by the author to address, in a coherent way, three essential issues for clinical practice What is a human being?, What is mental pathology?, and What is care?. In this book Stanghellini argues that to be human means to be in dialogue with alterity, that mental pathology is the outcome of a crisis of ones dialogue with alterity, and that care is a method wherein dialogues take place whose aim is to re-enact interrupted dialogue with alterity within oneself and with the external world. This essay is an attempt to re-establish such a fragile dialogue of the soul with herself and with others. Such an attempt is based on two pillars a dialectic, person-centered understanding of mental disorders and values-based practice. The dialectic understanding of mental disorders acknowledges the vulnerability constitutive of human personhood. It assumes that the person is engaged in trying to cope, solve and make sense of new, disturbing, puzzling experiences stemming from her encounter with alterity. Values-based practice assumes that the forms of human life are inherently plural. Value-pluralism and recognition are the basis for care. This statement reflects the ideal of modus vivendi that aims to find terms in which different forms of life can coexist, and learn how to live with irreconcilable value conflicts, rather than striving for consensus or agreement. Care is a method wherein dialogues take place whose aim is to re-enact interrupted dialogue with alterity within oneself and with the external world. It includes practices that belong both to logic - e.g., the method for unfolding the Others form of life and to rescue its fundamental structure - and empathy - e.g., the readiness to offer oneself as a dialoguing person and the capacity to resonate with the Others experience and attuneregulate the emotional field. **

ABUSI

Author: Nancy Worman
File Type: pdf
This study of the language of insult charts abuse in classical Athenian literature that centres on the mouth and its appetites, especially talking, eating, drinking, and sexual activities. Attic comedy, Platonic dialogue, and fourth-century oratory often deploy insulting depictions of the mouth and its excesses in order to deride professional speakers as sophists, demagogues, and women. Although the patterns of imagery explored are very prominent in ancient invective and later western literary traditions, this is the first book to discuss this phenomenon in classical literature. It responds to a growing interest in both abusive speech genres and the representation of the body, illuminating an iambic discourse that isolates the intemperate mouth as a visible emblem of behaviours ridiculed in the democratic arenas of classical Athens.

OIL,
98740
Author: Andrew T. Price-Smith
File Type: pdf
The United States is addicted to crude oil. In this book, Andrew Price-Smith argues that this addiction has distorted the conduct of American foreign policy in profound and malign ways, resulting in interventionism, exploitation, and other illiberal behaviors that hide behind a facade of liberal internationalism. The symbiotic relationship between the state and the oil industry has produced deviations from rational foreign energy policy, including interventions in Iraq and elsewhere that have been (at the very least) counterproductive or (at worst) completely antithetical to national interests. Liberal internationalism casts the United States as a benign hegemon, guaranteeing security to its allies during the Cold War and helping to establish collaborative international institutions. Price-Smith argues for a reformulation of liberal internationalism (which he terms * shadow liberalism*) that takes into account the dark side of American foreign policy. Price-Smith contends that the free market in international oil is largely a myth, rendered problematic by energy statism and the rise of national oil companies. He illustrates the destabilizing effect of oil in the Persian Gulf, and describes the United States grand energy strategy, particularly in the Persian Gulf, as illiberal at its core, focused on the projection of power and on periodic bouts of violence. Washingtons perennial oscillation between liberal phases of institution building and provision of public goods and illiberal bellicosity, Price-Smith argues, represents the shadow liberalism that is at the core of US foreign policy. **

William Blake famously imagined Jerusalem builded here in London. But Blake was not the first or the last to visualize a shimmering new metropolis on the banks of the River Thames. For example, the Romans erected a temple to Mithras in their ancient city of Londinium medieval Londoners created Temple Church in memory of the Holy Sepulchre in which Jesus was buried and Christopher Wren reshaped the skyline of the entire city with his visionary dome and spires after the Great Fire of London in 1666. In the modern period, the fabric of London has been rewoven in the image of its many immigrants from the Caribbean, South Asia, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere. While previous books have examined literary depictions of the city, this is the first examination of the religious imaginary of the metropolis through the prism of the visual arts. Adopting a broad multicultural and multi-faith perspective, and making space for practitioners as well as scholars, its topics range from ancient archaeological remains and Victorian murals and cemeteries, to contemporary documentaries and political cartoons. **

SALVA
24631
Author: Michael Elsohn Ross
File Type: epub
The bizarre and often humorous creations of Rene Magritte, Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, and other surrealists are showcased in this activity guide for young artists. Foremost among the surrealists, Salvador Dali was a painter, filmmaker, designer, performance artist, and eccentric self-promoter. His famous icons, including the melting watches, double images, and everyday objects set in odd contexts, helped to define the way people view reality and encourage children to view the world in new ways. Dalis controversial life is explored while children trace the roots of some familiar modern images. These wild and wonderful activities include making Man Ray-inspired solar prints, filming a Dali-esque dreamscape video, writing surrealist poetry, making collages, and assembling art with found objects.

Author: Mark Casson
File Type: pdf
The British railway network was a monument to Victorian private enterprise. Its masterpieces of civil engineering were emulated around the world. But its performance was controversial praised for promoting a high density of lines, it was also criticised for wasteful duplication of routes.This is the first history of the British railway system written from a modern economic perspective. It uses conterfactual analysis to construct an alternaive network to represent the most efficient alternative rail network that could have been constructed given what was known at the time - the first time this has been done. It reveals how weaknesses in regulation and defects in government policy resulted in enormous inefficiency in the Victorian system that Britain lives with today.British railway companies developed into powerful regional monopolies, which then contested each others territories. When denied access to existing lines in rival territories, they built duplicate lines instead. Plans for an integrated national system, sponsored by William Gladstone, were blocked by Members of Parliament because of a perceived conflict with the local interests they represented. Each town wanted more railways than its neighbours, and so too many lines were built. The costs of these surplus lines led ultimately to higher fares and freight charges, which impaired the performance of the economy.The book will be the definitive source of reference for those interested in the economic history of the British railway system. It makes use of a major new historical source, deposited railway plans, integrates transport and local history through its regional analysis of the railway system, and provides a comprehensive, classified bibliography.ReviewThe high quality of the methodology and bibliography of this volume reflect its academic origins...well worth careful study.

p Segoe UI, serif 13pxFrequently cited and just as often disputed, Elizabeth Anscombes Modern Moral Philosophy (1958) and The First Person (1975) are touchstones of twentieth-century analytic philosophy. Though the arguments Anscombe advances in these papers are familiar to philosophers, their significance remains widely misunderstood, says James Doyle. p Segoe UI, serif 13pxNo Morality, No Self offers a fresh interpretation of Anscombes still-controversial theses about ethical reasoning and individual identity, specifically, her argument that the term moral (as it occurs in such contexts as moral obligation) is literally meaningless, and that I does not refer to some special entity called a selfa pair of claims that philosophers have responded to with deep skepticism. However unsettling Anscombes conclusions may be, Doyle shows the underlying seriousness of the British philosophers reasoning, exposing with clarity and concision how the counterarguments of Anscombes detractors are based on a flawed or incomplete understanding of her ideas. p Segoe UI, serif 13pxDoyle zeroes in on the central conundrum Anscombe posed to the referentialist school namely, that it is impossible to give a noncircular explanation of how I refers to the person who utters it. He shows where the refutations of philosophers including Lucy OBrien, Gareth Evans, and Ian Rumfitt fall short, and throws light on why I developed features that make it look as if it functions as a referring expression. Reconciling seemingly incompatible points of view, Doyle argues that I does refer to a self, but not in a way anyone suspecteda surprising conclusion that is entirely a propos of Anscombes provocative thought. span Segoe UI, serif 13px orphans 2 widows 2bJames Doylebspanspan Segoe UI, serif 13px orphans 2 widows 2is Lecturer in Philosophy at Harvard Universityspanspan Segoe UI, serif 13px orphans 2 widows 2*spanp MsoNormalJames Doyle brings out how radical and philosophically significant are Elizabeth Anscombes ideas, in his discussions of two of Anscombes best-known theses that the term moral as it occurs in such contexts as moral obligation is a word of merely mesmeric force, and that I is not an expression that refers to something. Critics of these two theses must now think carefully and take stock in light of Doyles arguments. This book is a major contribution to Anscombe studies.Roger Teichmann, University of Oxford p MsoNormalNo Morality, No Self Anscombes Radical Skepticism is an absolutely remarkable achievement. James Doyle shows that, when properly understood, Elizabeth Anscombe presents a major challenge to contemporary moral philosophy. This book will bring Anscombes thought to the forefront of ethical theory.Sergio Tenenbaum, University of Toronto
