Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Katharine Jenkins offers an introduction to feminist philosophy, giving the reader an idea of what it is, why it is important, and how to think about it. She explores key topics such as gender oppression, beauty, objectification, and sexuality. Moreover, she considers questions about the relation between the personal and the political, what it is to be a woman, whether there is a distinctive kind of women's knowledge, and what feminist philosophy can bring to our understanding of such aspects of our world as justice, work, and the environment. This Very Short Introduction takes a richly intersectional approach, recognizing the combined impact of such factors as race and class as well as gender. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
Philosophical Mechanics in the Age of Reason

From pebbles to planets, tigers to tables, pine trees to people; animate and inanimate, natural and artificial; bodies are everywhere. Bodies populate the world, acting and interacting with one another, and they are the subject-matter of Newton's laws of motion. But what is a body? And how can we know how they behave? In Philosophical Mechanics in the Age of Reason, Katherine Brading and Marius Stan examine the struggle for a theory of bodies. At the beginning of the 18th century, physics was the branch of philosophy that studied bodies in general. Its primary task was to provide a qualitative account of the nature of bodies, including their essential properties, causal powers, and generic behaviors. Pursued by a variety of figures both canonical (from Leibniz to Kant) and less familiar (from Du Châtelet and Euler to d'Alembert and Lagrange), this proved a difficult task. At stake were the appropriate epistemologies and methods for theorizing about the natural world. Solutions demanded the combined resources of philosophy, physics, and mechanics: what Brading and Stan call a “philosophical mechanics.” Brading and Stan analyze a century of widespread, concerted efforts to solve “the problem of bodies,” they examine the consequences of the many failures, both for the problem itself and for philosophy more generally. They reveal relationships among disparate themes of 18th century physics and philosophy, from the nature of matter to the motion of a vibrating string; causation to the principle of least action; and the role of subtle matter in collision theory to analytic mechanics. All of these, Brading and Stan argue, are related to the eventual emergence of physics as an independent discipline, autonomous from philosophy, more than a century after Newton's Principia. This book provides a new framing of natural philosophy and its transformations in the Enlightenment; and it proposes an account of how physics and philosophy evolved into distinct fields of inquiry.

This volume advances the contemporary debate on five central issues in the philosophy of film. These issues concern the relation between the art and technology of film, the nature of film realism, how narrative fiction films narrate, how we engage emotionally with films, and whether films can philosophize. Two new essays by leading figures in the field present different views on each issue. The paired essays contain significant points of both agreement and disagreement; new theories and frameworks are proposed at the same time as authors review the current state of debate. Given their combination of richness and clarity, the essays in this volume can effectively engage both students, undergraduate or graduate, and academic researchers.

Paul Ricoeurs biblische und philosophische Hermeneutik des Selbst
Kathrin Messner

sidottu
Der französische Philosoph Paul Ricœur (1913-2005) hat es stets abgelehnt, als "Theologe" bezeichnet zu werden. Nichtsdestotrotz hat er sich zeitlebens mit biblischen Themen auseinandergesetzt. Philosophische und biblische Hermeneutik stehen während seines gesamten reflexiven Schaffens in einem außerordentlichen, jedoch niemals direkt behandelten Spannungsverhältnis zueinander.Dieser Herausforderung versucht Kathrin Messner in ihrer Untersuchung zu begegnen. Den beiden bisher nicht ins Deutsche übersetzen Schlussvorlesungen der Edinburgher Gifford Lectures von 1986 kommt dabei eine ebenso zentrale Bedeutung zu wie Ricœurs Tübinger Festvortrag Amour et justice. Liebe und Gerechtigkeit von 1989. Verglichen mit seinem zentralen philosophisch-hermeneutischen Werk Das Selbst als ein Anderer (1990) und in den Kontext seiner Intellektuellen Autobiographie (1995) gestellt, ergeben sich dabei erstaunliche Entdeckungen.Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Jahrespreis 2014 der Theologischen Fakultät der Universität Zürich ausgezeichnet.

In their day, from 1830 to 1930, the Sartain family of Philadelphia were widely admired as printmakers, painters, art administrators, and educators. Since then, the accomplishments of three generations of Sartains -- John, children Samuel, Henry, Emily, and William, and grand-daughter Harriet -- have become obscure. This wide-ranging collection of essays aims to rectify that situation. The patriarch of the family -- John Sartain -- came to Philadelphia from London in 1830 seeking success as a mezzotint engraver. Mezzotint was a sophisticated means of popularizing the work of well-known painters, and as an English-trained engraver John was in great demand. He became influential, not just as a pictorial engraver, but as a painter publisher, and administrator. He even designed monuments and furniture. And he passed on his skills and learning to his children. One of John's daughters and three of his sons went on to become equally celebrated. Emily, with her friend Mary Cassat, become a well-known painter and principal of the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, precursor of the Moore College of Art and Design. As an art educator, she spearheaded the women's art movement, traveling widely as a speaker and delegate. John's sons Samuel and Henry worked with their father as engravers and printmakers and were early photography enthusiasts. Son William moved to New York, where he became an associate of the National Academy of Design, a founder of the Society of American Artists, and president of the Art Club of New York. Henry's daughter Harriet followed her aunt Emily as head of the School of Design, where she advocated broad popular access to art appreciation training. The Sartains were important not just for who they were but for who they knew and influenced. They were in the vanguard of the movement to democratize art and art education. Among their associates were Judd Sartain, a successful homeopathic physician who financed her niece Emily's professional training; poet and short-story writer Edgar Allan Poe; painter Thomas Eakins, Emily's one-time beau; and industrialist and art collector Joseph Harrison, Jr. Lavishly illustrated with 113 duotones and 8 color plates, Philadelphia's Cultural Landscape is a fascinating book at a century in which the production and promulgation of art was seen as everybody's business, and at a family that epitomized that spirit.
This book looks at a number of charities in London between 1918 and 1979, and the ways in which they negotiated the growth of the welfare state and changes in the communities around them.These charities - the 'university settlements'- were founded in the 1880's and 1890's and brought young graduates such as William Beveridge & Clement Attlee to deprived areas of cities to undertake social work. It is of interest to those who wish to know more about the complexities of the relationships between charities, the welfare state and individuals in the course of the twentieth century. Bradley argues that whilst the settlements often had difficulties in sustaining their work with the vulnerable, they remained an important factor between the individual and the impacts of poverty. Aimed at scholars in the fields of history, social policy, sociology and criminology this book will also be of interest to practitioners in the voluntary sector and government.This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1, No poverty.
