Различные книги в жанре ФилософияAesthetics and Politics
No other country and no other period has produced a tradition of major aesthetic debate to compare with that which unfolded in German culture from the 1930s to the 1950s. In Aesthetics and Politics the key texts of the great Marxist controversies over literature and art during these years are assembled in a single volume. They do not form a disparate collection but a continuous, interlinked debate between thinkers who have become giants of twentieth-century intellectual history.
Deviant Opera
Imagine Armida, Handel’s Saracen sorceress, performing her breakneck coloraturas in a black figure-hugging rubber dress, beating her insubordinate furies into submission with a cane, suspending a captive Rinaldo in chains from the ceiling of her dungeon. Mozart’s peasant girl Zerlina, meanwhile, is tying up and blindfolding her fiancé to seduce him out of his jealousy of Don Giovanni. And how about Wagner’s wizard, Klingsor, ensnaring his choir of flower maidens in elaborate Japanese rope bondage?<BR />  <BR /> Opera, it would appear, has developed a taste for sadomasochism. For decades now, radical stage directors have repeatedly dressed canonical operas—from Handel and Mozart to Wagner and Puccini, and beyond—in whips, chains, leather, and other regalia of SM and fetishism. <I>Deviant Opera</I> seeks to understand this phenomenon, approaching the contemporary visual code of perversion as a lens through which opera focuses and scrutinizes its own configurations of sex, gender, power, and violence. The emerging image is that of an art form that habitually plays with an eroticization of cruelty and humiliation, inviting its devotees to take sensual pleasure in the suffering of others. Ultimately, <I>Deviant Opera</I> argues that this species of opera fantasizes about breaking the boundaries of its own role-playing, and pushing its erotic power exchanges from the enacted to the actual.
Radical Apophasis
This book exhibits the richness and sophistication of Plotinian and Dionysian apophatic theologies by explicating their respective internal «logics.» It articulates the unique metaphysical status and explanatory role that the One and God, respectively, play in Plotinus's and Dionysius's reflections, showing the way in which apophasis is generated and sustained by the metaphysical-explanatory lines of thought in which the One (Plotinus) and God (Dionysius) function as the ultimate, unconditioned source of everything else. In the context of explanation, negation serves to convey the incomparable reality of the One or of God as beyond being. However, the metaphysical and explanatory lines of thought are themselves situated within the broader context of the soul's ascent to mystical union with the One or with God. From this broader perspective, the discursive practice of negation constitutes the basis of preparing the soul for mystical union. Preparation for mystical union involves the cognitive and trans-cognitive practice of negation, which enables the soul to progress towards and become united with the One or God. This study is motivated by the desire to more deeply understand apophasis as deployed in different philosophical, theological, and religious contexts, including the work of contemporary thinkers such as Jean-Luc Marion.
Переживание стыда в «зеркале» социальных теорий
Монография представляет собой описание переживания стыда и человека в стыде на языке хотя и различных социальных теорий (социальной философии, социологии, социальной психологии), но таких, исходным термином которых является «социальное действие». В монографии речь идет об особом месте стыда в социальной реальности: с одной стороны, стыд асоциален, а, с другой, стыд есть явление самое что ни на есть социальное, что указывает на граничное бытие стыда. Стыд указывает на границу между Я и Ты, Я и Мы, Я и Оно (природой). Стыд – это еще и границы в бытии самого стыдящегося. Специфика этих видов разграничения показана в данной работе. В монографии представлены, кроме того, как внешняя сторона ситуации стыжения/стыдимости и дано описание ситуации стыда как социального порядка на макроуровне, так и описание ситуации стыда в виде взаимодействия людей «лицом-к-лицу», т.е. дано описание социального порядка на микроуровне, который можно рассматривать как внутренний план ситуации стыжения/стыдимости. Книга адресована специалистам в области социально-философского знания, социологии, психологии, студентам и аспирантам гуманитарных специальностей вузов, а также всем интересующимся исследованиями мира человеческих переживаний и «культуры стыда». В формате PDF A4 сохранен издательский макет.

Leaves of Grass
From one of the most celebrated American poets, Walt Whitman, comes a profound and uniquely written anthology of poems. Leaves of Grass is a rousing collection of poems inspired largely by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s plea for the arrival of a great new American Poet. Originally published in 1855, Whitman worked on this collection of poems for the entirety of his life. He continued to revise and make better his anthology; in its final publication Leaves of Grass contained over 400 pages of remarkable poetry. The poems within reflected many of Whitman’s values and beliefs, specifically pertaining to his philosophy of transcendentalism and the role of man within nature. Unafraid of straying from normal conventions of poetry, Whitman’s work is considered to be one of the most important and lasting contributions to literature made by an American poet.
