Book Synopsis Formative Writings (Routledge Revivals) by : Simone Weil
Download or read book Formative Writings (Routledge Revivals) written by Simone Weil and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, first published in English in 1987 makes available an important part of Weil’s early writings. Although primarily known as a religious thinker, she devoted enormous energy in her formative years to her work as a political activist and as a philosopher/teacher. This book reveals these other sides of Weil and demonstrates the lines of continuity underlying her whole thought. Written between 1929 and 1941 the book covers a crucial and transitional period in Weil’s life. Taken together they represent invaluable primary source material on the evolution of Weil’s life and on her chosen method of abstracting elements from her personal experience and transmuting that experience into considered thought. Even when highly theoretical, her writing was always concerned with the application of her intelligence to concrete problems of human existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, the essays in this edited collection offer a representative sample of the descriptive and systematic approach to the study of literary translation.

They argue the need for a rigorous scientific approach the phenomena of translation – one of the most significant branches of Comparative Literature – and regard it as essential to link the study of particular translated texts with a broader methodological position. Considering both broadly theoretical topics and particular cases and traditions, this volume will appeal to a wide range of students and scholars across disciplines.
Book Synopsis A Truer Liberty (Routledge Revivals) by : Laurence A. Blum
Download or read book A Truer Liberty (Routledge Revivals) written by Laurence A. Blum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simone Weil — philosopher, trade union militant, factory worker — developed a penetrating critique of Marxism and a powerful political philosophy which serves an alternative both to liberalism and to Marxism. In A Truer Liberty, originally published in 1989, Blum and Seidler show how Simone Weil’s philosophy sought to place political action on a firmly moral basis. The dignity of the manual worker became the standard for political institutions and movements. Weil criticized Marxism for its confidence in progress and revolution and its attendant illusory belief that history is on the side of the proletariat. Blum and Seidler relate Weil’s work to influential trends in political philosophy today, from analytic Marxism to central traditions within liberal thought. The authors stress the importance of Weil’s work for understanding liberation theology, Catholic radicalism, and, more generally, social movements against oppression which are closely tied to religion and spirituality.

Book Synopsis Kant, Respect and Injustice (Routledge Revivals) by : Victor Seidler
Download or read book Kant, Respect and Injustice (Routledge Revivals) written by Victor Seidler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, originally published in 1986, Victor Seidler explores the different notions of respect, equality and dependency in Kant’s moral writings. He illuminates central tensions and contradictions not only within Kant’s moral philosophy, but within the thinking and feeling about human dignity and social inequality which we take very much for granted within a liberal moral culture. In challenging our assumption of the autonomy of morality, Seidler also questions our understanding of what it means for someone to live as a person in his or her own right. The autonomy of individuals cannot be assumed but has to be reasserted against relationships of subordination. This involves a break with a rationalist morality, so that respect for others involves respect for emotions, feelings, desires and needs, and establishes a fuller autonomy as a basis for freedom and justice.

Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: Arguing With The Past (1989) by : Gillian Beer
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: Arguing With The Past (1989) written by Gillian Beer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, this book analyses fiction and long narrative, drawing on a broad range of writing from earlier periods and on recent narrative theory. Gillian Beer looks at the work of writers as diverse as Thomas Carlyle and Philip Sydney, Samuel Richardson, and George Eliot. Three chapters on Virginia Woolf demonstrate how Woolf’s reading of past literature, philosophy, and science gave her an intellectual and emotional purchase on problems of feminism and modernism. Beer examines how writers create dialogues with past writing, how readers of the present day engage with the difference of past literature, and how we make contact with the desires and debates of past readers.
