Описание: This is the first translation that assumes Aristotle focusses on musical dramatic theory rather than mere literature (e.g., tragedy has music in its definition). Perennial problems-like why the treatise has not one poem and why no purely literary genre is even mentioned in a work long known as the POETICS-therefore simply dissolve.

Описание: Ulysses, one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, has had a profound influence on modern fiction. In a series of episodes covering the course of a single day, 16 June 1904, the novel traces the movements of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the streets of Dublin. Each episode has its own literary style, and the epic journey of Odysseus is only one of many correspondencies that add layers of meaning to the text. Ulysses has been the subject of controversy since copies of the first English edition were burned by the New York Post Office Authorities. Today critical interest centres on the authority of the text, and this edition, complete with an invaluable Introduction, notes, and appendices, republishes for the first time, without interference, the original 1922 text.
This book revolutionizes the 1000-year old tradition that stems from the first commentaries on the Poetics by the Arabic scholars. Aristotle's treatise has always been thought to be about poetic-literary theory, with tragedy being its paradigm. Scott demonstrates, however, that Aristotle (384-322 BCE) employs poiesis not in the way universally assumed until now, as "language in verse" or "poetry," which the sophist Gorgias only coined in 415 BCE. Rather, Aristotle follows Diotima, who in the Symposium of Plato (424-347) explains poiesis as mousike kai metra (typically "'music' and verses"). One reason Aristotle employs the Diotiman and not the Gorgian sense of poiesis is that not one poem exists in the so-called "Poetics"; another reason is that the definition of tragedy includes "music." Scott subsequently demonstrates that Aristotle considers tragedy not to be a species of literature but one of dramatic "musical" theater that also requires dance and spectacle. Chapter 2 includes a revised version of Scott's "The Poetics of Performance: The Necessity of Performance, Spectacle, Music, and Dance in Aristotelian Tragedy" (Cambridge University Press, 1999). The book also supplements his arguments of "Purging the Poetics" (Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy, 2003), reprinted as Chapter 5, and provides the additional and seemingly insuperable reasons why Aristotle could not have written the clause with the words catharsis, pity, and fear in the definition of tragedy, as a number of internationally known ancient Greek specialists have already been accepting. One reason is that he defines by "biological division" and catharsis is not only missing from the preliminary divisions but is the only term in the definition not discussed in the entire treatise. A second reason is that catharsis contradicts the goal of tragedy as pleasure, itself indicated many times in the work. A third reason is that Aristotle writes in Chapter 13 that pity and fear do not belong to plots showing a virtuous person going from fortune to misfortune. Including pity and fear in the definition would thus exclude even plays like Antigone or Trojan Women from being tragedies. A fourth reason is that Aristotle says three times that tragoidos (originally "goat-song" but usually translated as "tragedy") can show agents going from misfortune to fortune, and the finest examples in Chapter 14 are the plays not like Oedipus but those ending happily, like Cresphontes, which would have no pity because of Aristotle's requirement of very significant suffering for pity. All of this allows a fresh and better reading of the treatise that even with its fundamental misinterpretations has been the foundation of Western literary, dramatic and artistic theory. VOL 1 includes Plato's and Aristotle's meaning of poiesis as "music-dance and verse" and of rhuthmos often as "dance," not "rhythm"; the importance of dance in the state for both thinkers, along with the proof that Aristotle considers tragedy to be a species of dramatic "musical" art. VOL 2 includes the issues of catharsis, pity, and fear, and a complete rebuttal of the only attempted rigorous reply (by Stephen Halliwell in Between Ecstasy and Truth, 2011) to "Purging the Poetics." Also included is a history of the Poetics; Bibliography; & the Index for both volumes.
Описание: This book presents an up-to-date overview of the main new directions taken by ancient philosophy in the first century BC. It demonstrates the intensity of renewed study of Aristotle`s Categories and Plato`s Timaeus, and will be indispensable for scholars and students interested in the history of Platonism and Aristotelianism.
Human life is susceptible of changing suddenly, of shifting inadvertently, of appearing differently, of varying unpredictably, of being altered deliberately, of advancing fortuitously, of commencing or ending accidentally, of a certain malleability. In theory, any human being is potentially capacitated to conceive of—and convey—the chance, view, or fact that matters may be otherwise, or not at all; with respect to other lifeforms, this might be said animal’s distinctive characteristic. This state of play is both an everyday phenomenon, and an indispensable prerequisite for exceptional innovations in culture and science: contingency is the condition of possibility for any of the arts—be they dominantly concerned with thinking, crafting, or enacting.
While their scope and method may differ, the (f)act of reckoning with—and taking advantage of—contingency renders rhetoricians and philosophers associates after all. In this regard, Aristotle and Blumenberg will be exemplary, hence provide the framework. Between these diachronic bridgeheads, close readings applying the nexus of rhetoric and contingency to a selection of (Early) Modern texts and authors are intercalated—among them La Celestina, Machiavelli, Shakespeare, Wilde, Fontane.

Описание: To what extent does sleep constitute a limit for the philosophical imagination? Why does it recur throughout philosophy? What is at issue in the repeated relegation of sleep to the realm of physiological study (as in Kant, Freud and Bergson), in favour of promoting the critical investigation of dreams and dreaming as a key indicator of modernity? Does philosophy entail a certain repression of the poetics of sleep in all its conceptual impossibility? Through a series of engagements with key thinkers in modern European philosophy, this book rearticulates a poetics of sleep at the heart of some of its seminal texts. From the problematic yet instructive status of a Kantian discourse on sleep to the conceptual contradictions inherent in psychoanalytic thought and the rich possibilities of thinking 'sleep' in the writings of Bergson, Blanchot and Nancy, the book's aim is to dredge the remains of sleep - not to bring its secrets to the surface of waking life, but instead to draw closer to what falls under or away in thinking and writing 'sleep'.
