Beschrijving Wisdom Won from Illness

Can reason absorb the psyche’s nonrational elements into a conception of the fully realized human being? Without a good answer to that question, Jonathan Lear says, philosophy is cut from its moorings in human life. He brings into conversation psychoanalysis and moral philosophy, which together form a basis for ethical thought about how to live.

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 Marina Sbisà draws on both published work as well as unpublished manuscript notes to offer a defence of Austin's speech act theory and views on truth, perception, and philosophical method.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.
