The Bounds of Sense An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

Peter Strawson (1919–2006) was one of the leading British philosophers of his generation and an influential figure in a golden age for British philosophy between 1950 and 1970. The Bounds of Sense is one of the most influential books ever written about Kant’s philosophy and is one of the key philosophical works of the late twentieth century. Whilst probably best known for its criticism of Kant’s transcendental idealism it is also famous for the highly original manner in which Strawson defended and developed some of Kant’s fundamental insights into the nature of subjectivity experience and knowledge – at a time when few philosphers were engaging with Kant’s ideas. The book had a profound effect on the interpretation of Kant’s philosophy when it was first published in 1966 and continues to influence discussion of Kant the soundness of transcendental arguments and debates in epistemology and metaphysics generally. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Lucy Allais. | The Bounds of Sense An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

Essays on the Transformation of India's Agrarian Economy

The central problem to which this book first published in 1984 is addressed is the transformation of agrarian structure as it historically evolved in India. The term ‘structure’ however has multiple meanings. The sense in which the term is used refers to the system of production including the pattern of its composition in terms of micro-units of production and the social and economic relations by which they are integrated.

Do Teachers Care About Truth? Epistemological Issues for Education

This book first published in 1987 examines the notion of truth and then discusses knowledge and the way in which much of our knowledge revises or rejects the common-sense we start from. The author argues that our knowledge is not as secure as some would like to think and that there are important limits to the possibility for explanation. He shows how values permeate our ordinary thinking and argues against the objectivity of these values showing the practical consequences of this argument for teaching in schools. This stimulating approach to a fundamental educational issue does not require previous experience of formal philosophy and will be useful to both education students and teachers in schools. | Do Teachers Care About Truth?

Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? shocked audiences and critics alike with its assault on decorum. At base though the play is simply a love story: an examination of a long-wedded life filled with the hopes dreams disappointments and pain that accompany the passing of many years together. While the ethos of the play is tragicomic it is the anachronistic melodramatic secret object—the nonexistent son—that upends the audience’s sense of theatrical normalcy. The mean and vulgar bile spewed among the characters hides these elements making it feel like something entirely new. As Michael Y. Bennett reveals the play is the same emperor just wearing new clothes. In short it is straight out of the grand tradition of living room drama: Ibsen Chekhov Glaspell Hellmann O’Neill Wilder Miller Williams and Albee. | Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms

In analyzing the nonfiction works of writers such as John Wilson J. S. Mill De Quincy Ruskin Arnold Pater and Wilde Jason Camlot provides an important context for the nineteenth-century critic's changing ideas about style rhetoric and technologies of communication. In particular Camlot contributes to our understanding of how new print media affected the Romantic and Victorian critic's sense of self as he elaborates the ways nineteenth-century critics used their own essays on rhetoric and stylistics to speculate about the changing conditions for the production and reception of ideas and the formulation of authorial character. Camlot argues that the early 1830s mark the moment when a previously coherent tradition of pragmatic rhetoric was fragmented and redistributed into the diverse localized sites of an emerging periodicals market. Publishing venues for writers multiplied at midcentury establishing a new stylistic norm for criticism-one that affirmed style as the manifestation of English discipline and objectivity. The figure of the professional critic soon subsumed the authority of the polyglot intellectual and the later decades of the nineteenth century brought about a debate on aesthetics and criticism that set ideals of Saxon-rooted 'virile' style against more culturally inclusive theories of expression. | Style and the Nineteenth-Century British Critic Sincere Mannerisms
