Abstract:
This chapter studies two texts that use humor and irony to deal with broken dreams and with ugly feelings caused by the inability to perform the dominant culture's expectations of race and gender. The protagonists in Alex Gilvarry's postmodern novel From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant and in Keshni Kashyap and Mari Araki's Tina's Mouth: An Existential Comic Diary struggle to dissolve rigid categories of masculinity, femininity, and race. They both want to lead the lives of ordinary Americans but are misrecognized, and have to work through cultural expectations generated by their brown bo

Abstract:
In contrast to current opinion which locates mental states including moods and emotions within our head, phenomenology regards affects as encompassing phenomena that connect body, self, and world. Based on the phenomenological approach, the chapter gives a detailed account of: (a) the feeling of being alive or vitality, (b) existential feelings, (c) affective atmospheres, (d) moods, and (e) emotions, emphasizing the embodied as well as intersubjective dimensions of affectivity. Thus, emotions are regarded as resulting from the circular interaction between affective affordances in the environme

Abstract:
This chapter traces the common thread running through the three main ethical approaches in the history of phenomenology: a personalistic ethics of values and feelings, an existentialist ethics of freedom and authenticity, and an ethics of alterity and responsibility. Although their topics and results may plainly differ, the chapter argues that what makes each of them a specifically phenomenological approach is that the key terms of subjectivity, experience, and intentionality become relevant for ethical argumentation. In this way, phenomenological approaches demonstrate how ethical issues can

Abstract:
This chapter by Nichola Khan revisits a complicated relationship she formed with a key interlocutor and self-identified MQM mercenary belonging to Karachi’s Muttahida Quami Movement party (MQM), whom she calls ‘Arshad’. Drawing ethnographic reflections from one year, 1994, and from a longer period Khan spent living in Liaquatabad in the nineties, this chapter troubles the metaphor of madness in order to query ways violence raises existential questions about humanity; to question ways writers channel their own feelings into analyses of violence; and the inevitable partiality and incompleteness

Abstract:
Gnosticism is a countercultural spirituality that forever changed the practice of Christianity. Before it emerged in the second century, passage to the afterlife required obedience to God and king. Gnosticism proposed that human beings were manifestations of the divine, unsettling the hierarchical foundations of the ancient world. Subversive and revolutionary, Gnostics taught that prayer and mediation could bring human beings into an ecstatic spiritual union with a transcendent deity. This mystical strain affected not just Christianity but many other religions, and it characterizes our underst

Abstract:
The book develops a process metaphysical conception of subjectivity from the work of Gilles Deleuze and Alfred North Whitehead. This alters existential orientations towards affect and attention in ways described as ecological attunement. The study is guided by two methodological commitments: (i) demonstrating the importance and relevance of responsible speculative thinking and (ii) translating metaphysical ideas into their existential implications. Both commitments are motivated by a contemporary context of ecological crisis and paradigm transformation. In the course of its argument, the book

Abstract:
This chapter provides an overview of the philosophers who influenced Jaspers when he tackled the conception of General Psychopathology. The introductory remark informs about how the systematic screening of Jaspers' philosophical quotes were gained and evaluated. The first section then deals with the methodological split between the humanities and natural sciences when approaching psychiatric patients. The influence of Dilthey, Weber and other philosophers on Jaspers' emerging position is laid out. The argument of his position that the methodological split is intrinsic to the nature of man is p

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the problem of the relationships between matter and consciousness by asking the reader to step in the shoes of a medical student who is given a human brain to hold during an autopsy. From this perspective, the brain is just another worldly object. A thing with mass and borders. How can this be? Holding a brain, feeling its texture and weight, must be like seeing the Earth from the Moon as a tiny blue dot. It is a sublime experience, and it is both a source of mental anguish and liberation. In this way, the reader is presented with basic scientific questions that have an

Abstract:
Low morale can develop from a sense of poor coping with a predicament that cannot be changed, often encountered with progressive diseases like advanced cancer. The prevalence of clinically significant demoralization in patients with cancer is 15%. Demoralization can be diagnosed when a poor sense of coping is associated with low morale, reduced hope, and a sense of feeling stuck, with related symptoms of feeling helpless, pointless or purposeless, and with doubts about the value of continued life. Meaning-based coping may need to be evoked to reduce the accompanying distress and social and fun

Abstract:
This chapter continues the discussion of general issues related to the meaning of life. The book has argued that to see life as meaningless is to see it as lacking a sufficient number of aspects of sufficient value. But many people describe the meaninglessness of their lives differently, mentioning existential guilt, anxiety, and despair. Others portray their meaningless lives as a joke, a lie, or an unfulfilled promise. The chapter argues that the analysis of meaninglessness presented in the book explains rather than conflicts with the ways in which people actually describe their feeling of m

Abstract:
As business decisions and actions spill over into society in ways that arouse our concern, it is useful to explore how philosophy might offer an alternative perspective to consequentialism. This chapter reviews the conventional approach and the risks of “maximizing.” It submits that the narrowly consequential approach provides us with practical reasons for action but neglects normative or moral reasoning. Reasons for doing might be based on rational choice, but reasons for being (existential reasons) and feeling (sentimental reasons) are guided by moral choice. That these last two may not be “

Abstract:
The schizophrenic person’s existential trajectory reflects the intolerable mixture of his desperate need for the Other and his hopeless attempts to orientate in human, and especially erotic, relationships. The schizophrenic person may turn away from actual reality into a mystical-romantic, ‘higher’ ideal, which like a dim mist protects him from the encounter with the real Other. Two features seem to best characterize this type of existence. One is his philosophy of life that indulges in cramping reflections concerned with spirituality, that is, rectitude, fidelity, nobility, and purity. The se

Abstract:
The book is the third and final part of a philosophy of Christian life. The first part applied a phenomenological approach to the literature of the devout life tradition, focussing on the feeling of being drawn to devotion to God; the second part examined what happens when this feeling is interpreted as a call or vocation. At its heart, this is the call to love that is made explicit in the Christian love-commandment but is shown to be implied every time human beings address each other in speech. A metaphysics of love explores the conditions for the possibility of such a call to love. Taking in

Abstract:
Through our emotions we discern what has meaning or significance for us, and our capacity for affective apprehension is embodied in specific ways. To become passionately agitated, in one way or another, is to have one’s attention drawn to something that is experienced as axiologically prominent, and to be moved to respond accordingly. Moreover, the phenomenal character of emotion is intimately linked with what it reveals: to be frightened is thus to have an experience in which an apparent danger is recognized in a compelling manner. Likewise, it is by way of the visceral feelings of being agit

The Ethics of Architecture offers a short and approachable scholarly introduction to a timely question: In a world of increasing population density, how does one construct habitable spaces that promote social goals like health, happiness, environmental friendliness, and justice? What are the special ethical obligations assumed by architects? Because their work creates the basic material conditions that make all other human activity possible, architects and their associates in building enjoy vast influence on how we all live, work, play, worship, and think. With this influence comes tremendous,
