Abstract:

Based on the Hegelian dialectic of the servant-master, this comedy represents, with the sarcasm and irony typical of its author, a profound reflection on the relationships between human beings. Starting from the local, with a pungent criticism on the social and political condition of Egypt in the Sixties, the two protagonists Farfūr and the Master guide and involve the spectator in a consideration on humanity and on the meaning of life that reaches universality. Divided into two acts, the comedy has no precise indications about time and space, which is confused with the time of representation,

Abstract:

Everyday aesthetics is becoming established as a subdiscipline of aesthetics. In one sense, it is ironic that such a subdiscipline be created anew, because neither the original Greek meaning of the term aesthesis nor Baumgarten’s formulation of aesthetics as a discourse regarding senses excluded any dimensions of our lives from deliberation. Furthermore, until about a century ago, the subject matters of aesthetics in the Western philosophical tradition ranged from natural objects and phenomena, built structures, utilitarian objects, and human actions, to what is today regarded as fine arts....

Abstract:

The incipit of the Essays presents it as a book of good faith. The truthfulness of this claim has traditionally been seriously called into question given how extensively ironic and deeply self-contradictory Montaigne’s text is. In this article I argue that Montaigne’s opening statement about good faith should not be understood as the author’s claim, but rather as a dramatic call addressed to the reader. According to Montaigne, truth is beyond our reach since we deal only with our own “phantasies” about God, the world, and ourselves. Most notably, Montaigne’s Pyrrhonian skepticism, ontologicall

Full text

Abstract:

Queen Margaret’s words ‘Make my image but an alehouse sign’ in 2 Henry VI (III. ii. 81) offer an appropriate metaphor for the female voice in Shakespeare’s texts because they advertise the ways female characters strive to speak out within a discursive environment that silences them as images. The chapter explores how women in Shakespeare’s plays negotiate a space to speak within a poetic discourse that repeatedly objectifies them as signs, focusing on Catherine’s role in Henry V and the blason, and the Jailer’s Daughter’s self-inscription into a ballad tradition in Two Noble Kinsmen.

Abstract:

Dread Trident examines the rise of imaginary worlds in tabletop role-playing games (TRPGs), such as Dungeons and Dragons. With the combination of analog and digital mechanisms, from traditional books to the internet, new ways of engaging the fantastic have become increasingly realized in recent years, and this book seeks an understanding of this phenomenon within the discourses of trans- and posthumanism, as well as within a gameist mode. The book explores a number of case studies of foundational TRPGs. Dungeons and Dragons provides an illustration of pulp-driven fantasy, particularly in the w

Abstract:

Pierre Iselin broaches the subject of early modern music and aims at contextualising Twelfth Night, one of Shakespeare’s most musical comedies, within the polyphony of discourses—medical, political, poetic, religious and otherwise—on appetite, music and melancholy, which circulated in early modern England. Iselin examines how these discourses interact with what the play says on music in the many commentaries contained in the dramatic text, and what music itself says in terms of the play’s poetics. Its abundant music is considered not only as ‘incidental,’ but as a sort of meta-commentary on th

Abstract:

Chapters 3 and 4 draw in an ironic way from Lord Curzon’s phrase of peacemaking in the twentieth century as comprising the “unmixing of peoples.” Both chapters consider territoriality as a political practice of “unmixing” both lands and peoples. The term “unmixing” actually meant imposing rigid categorizations of ethnicity with considerable political consequences. British, French, and American schools of political geography provided the intellectual infrastructure. The council of Great Powers in its various forms established itself as a sovereign court in Paris that heard and adjudicated claim

Abstract:

In Rethinking Philosophy with Borges, Zambrano, Paz, and Plato, Hugo Moreno argues that in Ficciones, Claros del bosque, and El mono gramático, Jorge Luis Borges, María Zambrano, and Octavio Paz practice a literary way of philosophizing—a way of seeking and communicating knowledge of reality that takes up analogical procedures. They deploy analogy as an indispensable and irreplaceable heuristic tool and literary device to convey their insight and perplexities on the nature of existence. Borges’ ironic approach involves reading and writing philosophy as fiction. Zambrano’s poetic reason is a mo

Abstract:

This chapter investigates the relationship between monologue and dialogue in Cuban revolutionary discourse. It proposes to attend to the “mono-logic”—the semiotic and ideological forces designed to compel alignments toward unity, coherence, and continuity, that are, asymptotically, never quite reached. Cuba’s political leaders have for decades insisted that citizens undergo a continual process of conscientization in which inner selves and outer displays jointly cultivate commitment to revolutionary principles. There are two semiotic calibrations of such discourse: (1) the charismatic, in which

Abstract:

The conclusion argues that a discussion on the origin, purpose, evolution and moral implications of sympathy led to cultural and policy changes in Victorian life, as well as to new expressions of the self. It establishes the extent of scientific influence in policy creation, and illustrates the irony of Darwin’s key intellectual contribution to public life: although he meant only to describe the evolution of sympathy in order to justify Victorian morals, the description nevertheless contributed to the transformation of Victorian practices as justified by Darwinian morals.

Abstract:

An eighteenth-century musical topic is a familiar figure, texture, genre, or style that is imported into a new context, where it may interact with other topics and the prevailing discourse of a movement in ways that may spark creative meanings. These interactions are analogous to the processes that produce tropes in literary language. A merger of expressive meanings may produce an effect akin to metaphor, whereas resistance to merger may signal some form of irony. Degrees of compatibility, dominance, creativity, and productivity among topics and tropes are explored in Mozart’s instrumental wor

While some see the comic as trivial, fit mainly for amusement or distraction, Søren Kierkegaard disagrees. This book examines Kierkegaard’s earnest understanding of the nature of the comic and how even the triviality of comic jest is deeply tied to ethics and religion. It rigorously explicates terms such as “irony,” “humor,” “jest,” and “comic” in Kierkegaard, revealing them to be essential to his philosophical and theological program, beyond aesthetic interest alone.

This turned out to be the start of a revolution, and, after a century of escalating accounts, we have now become a nation of experts, with many ordinary people able to speak intelligently about blood-spatter patterns and organized vs. disorganized serial killers.

Ironically, the philosophy of love has long been neglected by philosophers, so-called “lovers of wisdom,” who would seemingly need to understand how one best becomes a lover. In Kierkegaard and the Philosophy of Love, Michael Strawser shows that the philosophy of love lies at the heart of Kierkegaard’s writings, as he argues that the central issue of Kierkegaard’s authorship can and should be understood more broadly as the task of becoming a lover. Strawser starts by identifying the questions (How should I love the other? Is self-love possible? How can I love God?) and themes (love’s immediacy
