Francesco Robortello (1516-1567) Architectural Genius of the Humanities

Francesco Robortello (1516-1567) Architectural Genius of the Humanities

This book explores the intellectual world of Francesco Robortello one of the most prominent scholars of the Italian Renaissance. From poetics to rhetoric philology to history topics to ethics Robortello revolutionised the field of humanities through innovative interpretations of ancient texts and with a genius that was architectural in scope. He was highly esteemed by his contemporaries for his acute wit but also envied and disparaged for his many qualities. In comparison with other humanists of his time such as Carlo Sigonio and Pier Vettori Robortello had a deeply philosophical vein one that made him unique not only to Italy but to Europe more generally. Robortello’s role in reforming the humanities makes him a constituent part of the long-fifteenth century. Robortello’s thought however unlike that of other fifteenth-century humanists sprung from and was thoroughly imbued with a systematic Aristotelian spirit without which his philosophy would never have emerged from the tumultuous years of the mid-Cinquecento. Francesco Robortello created a system for the humanities which was unique for his century: a perfect union of humanism and philosophy. This book represents the first fully fledged monograph on this adventurous intellectual life. | Francesco Robortello (1516-1567) Architectural Genius of the Humanities

Accessing the Clinical Genius of Winnicott A Careful Rendering of Winnicott’s Twelve Most Influential Clinical papers

Accessing the Clinical Genius of Winnicott A Careful Rendering of Winnicott’s Twelve Most Influential Clinical papers

Donald Winnicott psychoanalyst and pediatrician is viewed by many in the psychodynamic field as the “other genius” in the history of psychodynamic theory and practice along with Freud. This book selects and explores twelve of his most infl uential clinical papers. Winnicott’s works have been highly valued in the decades since they were first published and are still relevant today. Winnicott’s writings on the goals and techniques of psychodynamic psychotherapy have been foundational in that he recast Freudian- and Kleinian-infl uenced thinking in the direction of the more relational schools of psychotherapy that define current 21st-century psychodynamic practice. Winnicott’s writings help us to understand the maturational processes of children certainly. But more than that they help us to understand how best to intervene when the enterprise of childhood leads to compromises of psychological health in later years. Yet despite Winnicott’s influence and continuing relevance his writings while at some level simple are elusive to modern readers. For one thing he writes in the psychoanalytic genre of the 1930s-1960s whose underlying theoretical assumptions and vocabulary are obscure in the present day and for another his writing often reflects primary process thinking which is suggestive but not declarative. In this work Teri Quatman provides explanations and insight in an interlocution with Winnicott’s most significant papers exploring both his language and concepts and enabling the clinician to emerge with a deep and reflective understanding of his thoughts perspectives and techniques. Engaging and accessible Accessing the Clinical Genius of Winnicott will be of great use to anyone encountering Winnicott for the first time particularly in psychodynamic psychotherapeutic training and in the teaching of relational psychotherapies. | Accessing the Clinical Genius of Winnicott A Careful Rendering of Winnicott’s Twelve Most Influential Clinical papers

A History of Professional Economists and Policymaking in the United States Irrelevant genius

Over the course of the twentieth century professional economists have become a feature in the policymaking process and have slowly changed the way we think about work governance and economic justice. However they have also been a frustrating paradoxical and in recent years controversial fixture in American public life. This book focuses on the emergence and growth of professional economics in the U. S. examining the challenges early professional economists faced which foreshadowed obstacles throughout the twentieth century. From the founding of the American Economic Association in 1885 to the depths of the Great Depression this volume illustrates why some of the most optimistic and capable economic minds struggled to help smooth economic transitions and tame market fluctuations. Drawing on archival research and secondary sources the text explores the emergence of professional economics in the United States and explains how economists came to be ‘irrelevant geniuses’. This book is well suited for those who study and are interested in American history the history of economic thought and policy history. | A History of Professional Economists and Policymaking in the United States Irrelevant genius

The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807

The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807

First published in 1960 this book studies Wordsworth’s ‘simple’ poems such as the Lyrical Ballads as products of a sophisticated and powerfully successful literary genius. The author aims to approach the poems as perhaps Wordsworth expected his first readers to; but as they have never been in fact. The result of this approach is to discover a Wordsworth far different to that which he has previously been presented as — the ‘Sage of Rydal’ at one extreme and a naïve perpetrator of poetical blunders at the other — and the author argues a far more exciting one. This book will be of interest to students of literature. | The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807

John II Komnenos Emperor of Byzantium In the Shadow of Father and Son

John II Komnenos Emperor of Byzantium In the Shadow of Father and Son

The Emperor John II Komnenos (1118–1143) has been overshadowed by both his father Alexios I and his son Manuel I. Written sources have not left us much evidence regarding his reign although authors agree that he was an excellent emperor. However the period witnessed territorial expansion in Asia Minor as well as the construction of the most important monastic complex of twelfth-century Constantinople. What else do we know about John’s rule and its period? This volume opens up new perspectives on John’s reign and clearly demonstrates that many innovations generally attributed to the genius of Manuel Komnenos had already been fostered during the reign of the second great Komnenos. Leading experts on twelfth-century Byzantium (Jeffreys Magdalino Ousterhout) are joined by representatives of a new generation of Byzantinists to produce a timely and invaluable study of the unjustly neglected figure of John Komnenos. | John II Komnenos Emperor of Byzantium In the Shadow of Father and Son

Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Epic has long been regarded as the exclusive domain of the male literary genius and as an incarnation of patriarchal values. This provocative collection of essays challenges such a hegemonic stereotype by demonstrating the ways in which women writers have successfully adapted the masculine epic tradition to suit their own aesthetic needs and to express their own heroic literary social and historical visions. Bringing the female epic out of the shadows the contributors rethink generic boundaries to illuminate this heretofore hidden literary practice. The essays range from Mary Tighe to Rebecca West from Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Gwendolyn Brooks and from Frances Burney to Virginia Woolf. Bernard Schweizer's introduction titled 'Muses with Pens ' connects the trajectory of ideas and influences in the individual essays to demonstrate how each participates in reclaiming for women writers a place in the development of a female epic tradition. The volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars working on issues related to genre canon formation and the evolution of female literary authority. | Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Jazz and Death Reception Rituals and Representations

Jazz and Death Reception Rituals and Representations

Jazz and Death: Reception Rituals and Representations critically examines the myriad and complex interactions between jazz and death from the New Orleans jazz funeral to jazz in heaven or hell final recordings jazz monuments and the music’s own presumed death. It looks at how fans critics journalists historians writers the media and musicians have narrated mythologized and relayed those stories. What causes the fascination of the jazz world with its deaths? What does it say about how our culture views jazz and its practitioners? Is jazz somehow a fatal culture? The narratives surrounding jazz and death cast a light on how the music and its creators are perceived. Stories of jazz musicians typically bring up different tropes ranging from the tragic misunderstood genius to the notion that virtuosity somehow comes at a price. Many of these narratives tend to perpetuate the gendered and racialized stereotypes that have been part of jazz’s history. In the end the ideas that encompass jazz and death help audiences find meaning in a complex musical practice and come to grips with the passing of their revered musical heroes - and possibly with their own mortality. | Jazz and Death Reception Rituals and Representations

Thomas Hardy Remembered

Thomas Hardy Remembered

Thomas Hardy Remembered assembles some 150 annotated interviews and recollections of Hardy most of which are being reprinted for the first time. They range from close personal reflections by old friends such as Sir George Douglas J. M. Barrie and Edmund Gosse to fleeting glimpses by strangers who saw Hardy at a London party or at his club. Martin Ray has selected items having the greatest literary or biographical significance and annotated them with meticulous accuracy and a keen eye for the telling detail. As a result the volume will be an invaluable resource to scholars who are interested not only in what concerned Hardy personally and professionally but also in how he was perceived by others. Having these items collected in one volume reveals Hardy's contemporaneous opinions about his own writings and also makes it possible to trace the marked recurrence over time of certain preoccupations: ancient families Hardy's hostility to reviewers architecture Roman relics Wessex folklore and dialect animal welfare Napoleon and hangings. With regard to his literary career a portrait emerges of Hardy as the scrupulous professional properly aware of his commercial rights while at the same time appearing to some who met him unconscious of his own genius.

Annette von Droste-Hülshoff

Annette von Droste-Hülshoff

First published in 1965 Annette von Droste-Hülshoff is the first book about the great German poetess of the early nineteenth century in English. Delicate fey over-sensitive unstable with the intellect often described as unbecomingly masculine it is easy to see how Annette von Droste-Hülshoff was bound to flout the conventions of the conservative society she lived in and to suffer accordingly. But melancholy and despairing as many of her poems are we are never allowed to imagine her as a weak person. Margaret Mare is careful to show us her trenchant humour her gift of mimicry her generosity to her friends the resolution which made her refuse in the middle of a dangerous illness to treat herself ‘like a soap bubble or a soft egg’—giving us a full picture of the woman of genius who could prophesy confidently that her works would still be read a hundred years after her death. Divided into three parts the book deals with the poet’s life and background detailed interpretations of selected poems and the poet’s treatment of supernatural themes her epics and prose works her style and use of images. This book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of poetry literature German literature European literature and comparative literature.

Clausewitz Philosopher of War

Clausewitz Philosopher of War

In this edition originally published in 1983 the late Professor Raymond Aron one of France’s most distinguished social scientists presented a major re-evaluation of Carl von Clausewitz ‘the genius of war’. He sees in Clausewitz a political philosopher of major importance whose impact and significance permeate many facets of modern society. Yet Clausewitz’s reputation was entirely posthumous for his great work On War was published after his death and in his lifetime he achieved only a limited reputation as a military thinker and planner. Even today he is more often quoted than closely read. Aron begins by elucidating the complexity of Clausewitz’s thought and by describing his main ideas. He gives an account of the successive phases in the development of On War and traces the different interpretations of Clausewitz’s doctrine in Germany in France and in Soviet Russia. Finally Aron analyses many aspects of the present world using the concepts of Clausewitz and is therefore able to examine such modern phenomena as the theory of the nuclear deterrent and ‘total war’ in Clausewitzian terms. This is a book of piercing insights by a writer of world-wide reputation who used the Clausewitz world-view as a means of political analysis. It is thus still of great importance and interest to contemporary historians and to all who are concerned with military and political affairs. | Clausewitz Philosopher of War

Conceptual Landscapes Fundamentals in the Beginning Design Process

Conceptual Landscapes Fundamentals in the Beginning Design Process

Conceptual Landscapes explores the dilemma faced in the early moments of design thinking through a gradient of work in landscape and environmental design media by both emerging and well-established designers and educators of landscape architecture. It questions where and more importantly how the process of design starts. The book deconstructs the steps of conceptualizing design in order to reignite pedagogical discussions about timing and design fundamentals and to reveal how the spark of an idea happens – from a range of unique perspectives. Through a careful arrangement of visual essays that integrate analog digital and mixed-media works and processes the book highlights differences between diverse techniques and triggers debate between design representation technology and creative culture in the field. Taken together the book’s visual investigation of the conceptual design process serves as a learning tool for aspiring designers and seasoned professionals alike. By situating student work alongside that of experienced teachers and landscape architects the book also demystifies outdated notions of individual genius and sheds new light on the nearly universally messy process of discovery bridged across years and diverse creative vocabularies in the conceptual design process. Lavishly illustrated with over 210 full color images this book is a must-read for students and instructors in landscape architecture. | Conceptual Landscapes Fundamentals in the Beginning Design Process

The Choice

The Choice

Eli Goldratt is known by millions of readers worldwide as a scientist educator and business guru. His Theory of Constraints (TOC) is taught at business schools and MBA programs around the globe. Government agencies and businesses large and small have adopted his methodologies. TOC has been successfully applied in almost every area of human endeavor from industry to healthcare to education. And while Eli Goldratt is indeed a scientist an educator and a business leader he is first and foremost a philosopher; some say a genius. He is a thinker who provokes others to do the same. In The Choice Goldratt once again presents his thought-provoking approach this time through a conversation with his daughter Efrat as they discuss his fundamental system of beliefs. Through examples and discussions Eli Goldratt helps us understand holistically how the interrelation of emotions intuition and logic influences our ability to think clearly and problem solve when making personal and professional decisions. Can every conflict be removed? Is every situation exceedingly simple? (no matter how complex it initially looks) Can every situation be substantially improved? Is there always a win-win solution? Dr. Goldratt exhorts his readers to examine and reassess their lives and business practices by cultivating a different perspective and a clear new vision. This revised edition includes Efrat’s Notes – these notes and logical maps are helpful tools that assist in visualizing and implementing the thoughts and ideas expressed throughout this book.

A.C. Swinburne A Poet's Life

A.C. Swinburne A Poet's Life

Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) was one of the literary sensations of the Victorian period. His iconoclastic poetry and prose challenged attitudes to sex politics religion and censorship. Not only writing some of the most original lyric poetry of the time and pioneering criticism Swinburne became a cultural icon. In the 1860s his very name was a symbol of progressive forces emerging in a repressive age. Readers across the world identified with the paganism and humanism of his poetry. Swinburne's was a turbulent life lived against a backdrop of beautiful settings in the Isle of Wight and Northumberland and shared with a host of Victorian luminaries or artists and writers such as D G Rossetti Elizabeth Siddal Burne-Jones Morris and Simeon Solomon. It is a life touched by early tragedy and romantic disappointment by extraordinary fame and abject loneliness by masochism and alcoholism but above all by an unquenchable vivacity. At the centre was the charmingly spoken excitable genius whom Burne-Jones described as 'quite the most poetic personality I have ever known. ' the artistic prodigy who seemed to have read almost everything who was as happy revelling in the sea as in literary discourse. Based on new research and many unpublished letters Rikky Rooksby sheds light on Swinburne's personality and relationships and discusses how Swinburne's poetry develops from early pessimism to a recovered joy in the energies of the natural world. This biography is a sympathetic and fresh account of one of the most colourful figures in English literature. | A. C. Swinburne A Poet's Life

Subjectivity and the Political Contemporary Perspectives

Subjectivity and the Political Contemporary Perspectives

Despite or quite possibly because of the structuralist post-structuralist and deconstructionist critiques of subjectivity master signifiers and political foundations contemporary philosophy has been marked by a resurgence in interest in questions of subjectivity and the political. Guided by the contention that different conceptions of the political are at least implicitly committed to specific conceptions of subjectivity while different conceptions of subjectivity have different political implications this collection brings together an international selection of scholars to explore these notions and their connection. Rather than privilege one approach or conception of the subjectivity-political relationship this volume emphasizes the nature and status of the and in the ‘subjectivity’ and ‘the political’ schema. By thinking from the place between subjectivity and the political it is able to explore this relationship from a multitude of perspectives directions and thinkers to show the heterogeneity openness and contested nature of it. While the contributions deal with different themes or thinkers the themes/thinkers are linked historically and/or conceptually thereby providing coherence to the volume. Thinkers addressed include Arendt Butler Levinas Agamben Derrida Kristeva Adorno Gramsci Mill Hegel and Heidegger while the subjectivity-political relation is engaged with through the mediation of the law-political ethics-politics theological-political inside-outside subject-person and individual-institution relationships as well as through concepts such as genius happiness abjection and ugliness. The original essays in this volume will be of interest to researchers in philosophy politics political theory critical theory cultural studies history of ideas psychology and sociology. | Subjectivity and the Political Contemporary Perspectives

Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans

The medieval philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus (1266-1308) was one of the great thinkers of Western intellectual culture exerting a considerable influence over many centuries. He had a genius for original and subtle philosophical analysis with the motive behind his philosophical method being his faith. His texts are famous not only for their complexity but also for their brilliance their systematic precision and the profound faith revealed. The texts presented in this new commentary show that Scotus' thought is not moved by a love for the abstract or technical but that a high level of abstraction and technicality was needed for his precise conceptual analysis of Christian faith. Presenting a selection of nine fundamental theological texts of Duns Scotus some translated into English for the first time this book provides detailed commentary on each text to reveal Scotus' conception of divine goodness and the nature of the human response to that goodness. Following an introduction which includes an overview of Scotus' life and works the editors highlight Scotus' theological insights many of which are explored here for the first time and shed new light on topics which were and still are hotly discussed. Scotus is seen to be the first theologian in the history of Christian thought who succeeds in developing a consistent conceptual framework for the conviction that both God and human beings are essentially free. Offering unique insights into Scotus' theological writings and faith and a particular contribution to contemporary debate on Scotus' ethics this book contributes to a clearer understanding of the whole of Scotus' thought. | Duns Scotus on Divine Love Texts and Commentary on Goodness and Freedom God and Humans
