Chorology (Studies in Continental Thought)

2 reviews
John Sallis

Indiana University Press, 1999

Subtle and Fresh Interpretation of a Difficult Old Text
The Timaeus is a very difficult dialogue, and one that has traditionally been interpreted as offering a modification of certain aspects of Plato's "Theory of the Forms," through the introduction of a "demiurge" or divine artificer and the "chora" or prime matter for creation. Sallis does not take this traditional approach. He does not see the Platonic dialogues as documents that present a ...

Masterpiece
I love good music and good writing. However, I would have never picked this book up if my 5 year old son had not said, "Look, Daddy, a book with a guitar on it!" I read it cover to cover in one night. Raised in the South, I was just a little younger than the characters in this book. But, I knew every one of them. I've since recommended this book to readers and non-readers. To a ...

The Four-Seven Debate: An Annotated Translation of the Most Famous Controversy in Korean Neo-Confucian ...

Michael C. Kalton, Oaksook C. Kim

State University of New York Press, 1994

Subtle but fascinating metaphysical debate!
"Neo-Confucianism" is a term that refers to a broad range of thinkers and intellectual movements that developed in the "middle ages" in China, and then spread to Korea and Japan. Neo-Confucians sought to explicate, propogate, and defend the Confucian tradition against Buddhism and Taoism, which they saw as decadent. However, many people (including myself) think that Neo-Confucianism is itself ...

Kierkegaard's Instant: On Beginnings (Studies in Continental Thought)

1 review
David J. Kangas

Indiana University Press, 2007

Kangas is a genius!
This is destined to become an extremely important work in Kierkegaard studies. Kierkegaard is often treated as a completely solitary philosophical figure. By focusing his analysis on the issue of temporality, Kangas is able to bring to light some of the philosophical and historical interlocutors invloved in Kierkegaard's dialectic with himself. This approach helps to not only understand ...

Beginning with the PreSocratics

Merrill Ring

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 1999

Excellent
This was a required text for a college course I took in Ancient Greek philosophy. Though this book does not contain large samples of fragments from the Pre-Socratics themselves it does an excellent job of both contextualizing their thought and clearly explaining their ideas. A very helpful guide to Pre-Socratic philosophy.

Socrates' Ancestor: An Essay on Architectural Beginnings

1 review
Indra Kagis McEwen

The MIT Press, 1993

A brilliant and thought provoking essay
This is a tour-de-force of interpretation, which asks us to rethink the meaning of architecture. McEwen, with grace, simplicity, and style, seeks to disclose another way of knowing "kosmos" than through fixed ideas and concepts. Unraveling the Anaximander fragment, he argues for the "well-made" as a "making visible" of divine order, shedding new light on what "theory" really meant. This ...

William James

University of Nebraska Press, 1996

William James's Introduction to Philosophy
Throughout his life, William James had the ambition to write a book presenting his philosophy in systematic form. He alluded to this goal repeatedly in his published books of philosophy, particularly the "Varieties of Religious Experience." But, as was the "Varieties", James other philosophical works such as "Pragmatism" and "A Pluralistic Universe" consisted of lectures while "The Meaning of ...

It is extensive with many footnotes..I like it, ...

The Indo-europeans from the Caucasus
This beautifully written and well-illustrated book explains to junior readers everything they might want to know about the Indo-europeans as they must have appeared at the spread of Kurgan III, about 3000 BC or so. It is an excellent adjunct to such works as the American Heritage Dictionary, which lists Indo-european roots. It is a valuable source for reports and papers. After reading this book, ...

Clearly the best ancient/medieval science text that exists!
I read the Beginnings of Western Sceince as a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I had the extreme priviledge of taking two history of science courses from the author, who is also an absolutely outstanding professor. (And also one of the two or three most knowledgeable people in the world in the history of medieval science) This is by far the most comprehensive text on the ...
