Free Download Jodie Lee Heap, "The Creative Imagination: Indeterminacy and Embodiment in the Writings of Kant, Fichte, and Castoriadis "
English | ISBN: 1538144263 | 2021 | 278 pages | EPUB | 466 KB
By engaging with the notions of indeterminacy and embodiment within the writings of Immanuel Kant, Johann Fichte and Cornelius Castoriadis, this book addresses and brings to the fore the significance of the creative imagination as an ontological source of human creation. Principally inspired by Castoriadis’ revolutionary elucidation of the imagination and the imaginary, this book actively contributes to this neglected line of enquiry by exposing deep lines of continuity and rupture both within and between the writings of Kant, Fichte, and Castoriadis. Beginning with Kant’s hesitation in describing the productive imagination as a creative and embodied power of the soul, this book traces these lines of continuity and rupture through Fichte’s innovative depiction of the creative imagination as an ontological power of creation and through Castoriadis’ radical extension of this idea into the social-historical realm. Given the notions of indeterminacy and embodiment actively inform these lines of continuity and of rupture, this book contributes to the landscape of thinking by proposing the creative imagination must be envisaged an embodied power of the human soul.

The writings selected for this volume include academic papers, book reviews and some quasi-journalistic articles which reflect both historical research and analysis of current events and issues.

Free Download Søren Kierkegaard, Howard V. Hong, Edna H. Hong, "The Point of View : Kierkegaard’s Writings, Vol 22"
English | 2009 | pages: 384 | ISBN: 0691058555, 0691140804 | PDF | 25,5 mb
As a spiritual autobiography, Kierkegaard’s The Point of View for My Work as an Author stands among such great works as Augustine’s Confessions and Newman’s Apologia pro Vita Sua. Yet Point of View is neither a confession nor a defense; it is an author’s story of a lifetime of writing, his understanding of the maze of greatly varied works that make up his oeuvre.

Free Download Leigh Hunt, David Jesson-Dibley, "Leigh Hunt: Selected Writings"
English | 2003 | pages: 198 | ISBN: 0415969514 | EPUB | 2,6 mb
Leigh Hunt (1784-1859) was a prolific, versatile and engaging writer. He outlived many of the poets and essayists of his generation whose reputations overshadowed his, but Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats all owed a debt to his advocacy, as did Tennyson and Browning. A poet of charm and technical skill, and an able translator and playwright, Leigh Hunt excelled as an essayist, literary critic and letter writer. His concern was always, in the words of his son, to ‘open more widely the door of the library’, to share his literary enthusiasms and extend his readers’ tastes. This anthology draws on the full range of Hunt’s poetry and prose, revealing a writer committed to the humane and civilizing powers of literature and friendship.

Free Download Mikhail Kuzmin, Michael A. Green, Stanislav Shvabrin, "Mikhail Kuzmin Selected Writings"
English | 2005 | pages: 256 | ISBN: 0838756018, 1611482208 | PDF | 3,7 mb
The least known of the Russian writers in Harold Bloom’s Western Canon, Mikhail Kuzmin (1872-1936) is the last to emerge from the oblivion imposed by Soviet prudery on the country’s non-conformist art. Green and Shvabrin’s Mikhail Kuzmin Selected Writings takes the English-speaking reader well beyond the reference-book cliche of Kuzmin as Russia’s first openly gay writer, made notorious by his coming-out novel Wings of 1906. One of the supreme Russian poets of the twentieth century – the equal of Akhmatova, Blok, Mayakovsky, Mandelstam, Pasternak, and Tsvetayeva – Kuzmin was also an out-standing prose writer, dramatist, and literary theoretician. Finally he is beginning to receive the attention that is his due.

Free Download Hans Henrik Bruun, Sam Whimster, "Max Weber: Collected Methodological Writings"
English | 2012 | pages: 566 | ISBN: 0415478987 | EPUB | 2,7 mb
Weber’s methodological writings form the bedrock of key ideas across the social sciences. His discussion of value freedom and value commitment, causality, understanding and explanation, theory building and ideal types have been of fundamental importance, and their impact remains undiminished today. These ideas influence the current research practice of sociologists, historians, economists and political scientists and are central to debates in the philosophy of social science. But, until now, Weber’s extensive writings on methodology have lacked a comprehensive publication.
