Описание: Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences-political, social, ecological, economic-challenge us to develop a new account of interdependency. Butler argues for a radical social equality and advocates modes of resistance that seek to establish new conditions of livability and a new sense of a shared world.

Описание:
Possibility is a concept central to both philosophy and social theory. But in what philosophical soil, if any, does the possibility of a better society grow? At the intersection of metaphysics and social theory, What Would Be Different? looks to Theodor W. Adorno to reflect on the relationship between the possible and the actual. In repeated references to utopia, redemption, and reconciliation, Adorno appears to reference a future that would break decisively with the social injustices that have characterized history. To this end, and though he never explains it in any detail--let alone in the form of a full-blown theory or metaphysics--he also makes extensive technical use of the concept of possibility. Taking Adorno's critical readings of other thinkers, especially Hegel and Heidegger, as his guiding thread, Iain Macdonald reflects on possibility as it relates to Adorno's own writings and offers answers to the question of how we are to articulate such possibilities without lapsing into a vague and na ve utopianism.
Описание: In the developing world, the death of parents from AIDS leaves behind little children, often four or five of them, who desperately want to stay together as a family-a Child-Headed Household. Imagine watching your mother and father slowly die before your eyes, leaving you to bury them and then to raise and care for your younger brothers & sisters
A Child-Headed Household is formed every 15 seconds... Thousands of children around the world are orphaned daily when their parents die of AIDS. When siblings stay together to form a family, it is called a Child-Headed Household. They desperately want to live together, resisting attempts to separate them amongst relatives or orphanages. The eldest sibling, often only 10 years of age, becomes the parent, raising and caring for their younger siblings. AIDS Orphans Rising takes you through the daily lives of these Child-Headed Households:
What do they eat?
Where do they live?
How do they survive?
What can you do to help?
Each chapter provides background information, stories and real solutions and actions that you can take to help these children not only survive, but succeed and prosper.
"The first edition of AIDS Orphans Rising was concerned with the invisible (and exploding) crisis of child-headed households in Africa. It was originally intended to serve as a resource guidebook for concerned teachers, researchers, nonprofit organizations, and policymakers. A funny thing happened; other people began reading the book, too Sister Mary Beth has many beautiful stories of generous strangers, young and old, who have approached her to offer help. As a result, the perspective of this second edition has been reframed to inform concerned citizens everywhere." -- Connie Mariano, MD, FACP, author of The White House Doctor
100% of all profits from this book will go to help the Child-Headed Households

Описание: Do you want to discover the origin, causes and effects of the most lethal influence known to our humanity and learn some useful lesson for the current 2020's pandemic?
If yes, then keep reading ✓
From January 1918 to December 1920, a Spanish pandemic killed about 50.000.000 people worldwide. The Flu killed over half a million people in the United States. Montana has lost about five thousand people to one of the highest mortality rates in the country. During World War I, Spain was neutral and did not censor information. The first cases of the Spanish bombing occurred in military camps and cities in the Midwest and quickly spread to the rest of the country.
One of the main differences between the 2020's pandemic and Spanish Influenza is that the virus is primarily aimed at older men and those with weak immune systems, but the Spanish Flu targeted healthy-looking men.
This Book Covers:
What is the Spanish Flu?
History of the Spanish Influenza
Signs, Symptoms, Pathogenesis, and Complications
What Actions Were Taken Globally in Search of a Cure
1918 Pandemic Wave
What we have learned from Spanish Influenza and how we can defeat the 2020's pandemics
Q&A with the main questions and doubts on the Spanish pandemic with references to the current pandemic... and so much more
The fear in 2020 is that the infection will dominate the American medical system. It was the case in 1918 when insufficient to treat a large number of patients admitted to minimal health care facilities. There no significant hospitals that we know. We then need to take a closer look at the Spanish epidemic of 1918 and record today's virus epidemic.
Описание: The first collection of Eugene T. Gendlin’s groundbreaking essays in philosophical psychology, Saying What We Mean casts familiar areas of human experience, such as language and feeling, in a radically different light. Instead of the familiar scientific emphasis on what is conceptually explicit, Gendlin shows that the implicit also comprises a structure that can be made available for recognition and analysis.Developing the traditions of phenomenology, existentialism, and pragmatism, Gendlin forges a new path that synthesizes contemporary evolutionary theory, cognitive psychology, and philosophical linguistics.

Описание:
In attempting to answer the question posed by this book's title, Giorgio Agamben does not address the idea of philosophy itself. Rather, he turns to the apparently most insignificant of its components: the phonemes, letters, syllables, and words that come together to make up the phrases and ideas of philosophical discourse. A summa, of sorts, of Agamben's thought, the book consists of five essays on five emblematic topics: the Voice, the Sayable, the Demand, the Proem, and the Muse. In keeping with the author's trademark methodology, each essay weaves together archaeological and theoretical investigations: to a patient reconstruction of how the concept of language was invented there corresponds an attempt to restore thought to its place within the voice; to an unusual interpretation of the Platonic Idea corresponds a lucid analysis of the relationship between philosophy and science, and of the crisis that both are undergoing today. In the end, there is no universal answer to what is an impossible or inexhaustible question, and philosophical writing—a problem Agamben has never ceased to grapple with—assumes the form of a prelude to a work that must remain unwritten.

The first is related to the phenomenology of aesthetic experience: The understanding of how human beings respond to artworks, how we process linguistic or visual information, and what properties in artworks trigger aesthetic experiences.
