Beschrijving The Wellek Library Lectures: The Vital Illusion

Considers how human cloning heralds an end to sex and death and the divagations of living by instituting a realm of the Same, beyond the struggles of individuation. The author also puts forward the thesis that the arrival of the year 2000 could never take place because we could neither resolve nor leave behind our history.

What Is It Like to Be a Bat?

This book is a fiftieth anniversary republication of Thomas Nagel's "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?", a classic article in the philosophy of mind. Through its argument for the irreducible subjectivity of consciousness, it played an essential role in making the study of consciousness a central part of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience.

Austinian Themes

Austinian Themes offers a reconstruction of philosophical views on several themes developed by J. L. Austin. Marina Sbisà draws on both published work as well as unpublished manuscript notes to offer a defence of Austin's speech act theory and views on truth, perception, and philosophical method.

Bright Circle

Bright Circle tells a little-known story of five women who contributed to the literary and philosophical movement known as transcendentalism and, in the process, inaugurated what became the feminist movement.
