Intertwinings

Connects Merleau-Ponty’s thought to themes and issues central to continental philosophy today.

To his earlier articulated concept of anchoring--which connects a construction with the history of the ground, locale, and region--Holl adds the concept of intertwining, which is illuminated by sensory, perceptual, conceptual, and emotional experiences. Illustrates with drawings, plans, and photographs projects in Japan, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Korea, and Norway. No index. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

We set forth the foundations of the spectral decomposition of the Weil representation associated to a nondegenerate quadratic form Q over the field [double-struck capital]R of real numbers. The relevant intertwining distributions are constructed, and a complete analysis is mode of the discrete spectrum.

The Intertwining of Aesthetics and Ethics: Exceeding of Expectations, Ecstasy, Sublimity analyzes the common experiential ground for both aesthetics and ethics by considering experiential environment (both nature and art), the precedents to desire, the notion of experience incorporating a break, and the reverberations of surprise leading to the intertwining of aesthetics and ethics. Jadranka Skorin-Kapov discusses different philosophical positions on the relationship between nature and art, in conversation with Kant, Hegel, Goethe, Gadamer, and Adorno. She argues that Kantian sublimity can carry over from nature to art. As part of the discussions of expectations and authenticity, the author interprets Husserl’s view on expectations, Heidegger’s view on death and authenticity, Blanchot’s view on death, and Arendt’s view on natality. As for understanding the aesthetic experience as the paradigmatic experience, Skorin-Kapov is informed by Dewey’s work on art as experience, Gadamer’s work on experience of art, and Jauss’s work on the aesthetics of reception and the horizon of expectations. After our sensibility and representational capability are broken, recuperation then leads to sublimity and the subsequent feelings of admiration and/or responsibility, allowing for the intertwining of aesthetics and ethics. Additionally, elements of Kantian morality, Foucault’s ethics, and Kierkegaard’s work on interactions between aesthetics and ethics together help to characterize the relation between aesthetics and ethics. Since we often encounter surprise due to unexpectedness in comedy, Skorin-Kapov also interprets philosophical views on the comedy and laughter (including Aristotle, Kierkegaard, Meredith, and Bergson), using the theatrical work of Dario Fo as an example. The novel analysis in The Intertwining of Aesthetics and Ethics will be of particular interest to students and scholars working or teaching in aesthetics, phenomenology, art history, cultural studies, and ethics.

First, I examined the political contents of three Hungarian Catholic prayer- and hymn-books. Second, I expounded my view relative to the determinant political role of the Hungarian Reformed church in Romania played in the events deemed to have brought about the “revolution” in December 1989. Third, I examined the present intertwining of the Hungarian state and the Hungarian religion, so as it was enacted in the 2011 constitution and law on the status of the religious communities."

This volume explores Husserl’s theory of sensibility and his conceptualization of spatial and temporal constitution. The author maps the linkages between Husserl’s ‘transcendental aesthetic’, the theory of pure experience in empirio-criticism, as well as Immanuel Kant’s transcendental philosophy. The core argument in this analysis centers on the relationship between spatiality and temporality in Husserl’s philosophy. The study interrogates Husserl’s understanding of the relationship between spatiality and temporality in terms of stratifications, analogies and parallelisms. It incorporates a discussion of the potentialities and limitations of such an understanding. It concludes that such limits can be overcome by adopting an understanding of spatiality and temporality as interwoven moments of sensible experience—a ‘spatio-temporal intertwining’. This ‘intertwining’ is made explicit in a thorough inquiry into three central topics in the phenomenological analysis of sensible experience: spatio-temporal individuation, perspectival givenness and bodily experience. The book shows how such an inquiry can form the bedrock of a dynamic and relational understanding of experience as a whole.

When I looked at Rosalia's face she was pale as a ghost. Her smile was gone and for a brief moment I thought her eyes looked 'dead.' This haunting image would stay with me for years. Eventually I came to understand why I had the haunting image of Rosalia. I had allowed my own unknown prejudice to show through and it targeted her. I condoned the prejudice message that said it was okay to treat Rosalia unworthy simply because she was different from me. Rosalia was cut deep wit

This volume explores various kinds of love and the way music reflects them. It is about romantic love, ethnic pride and love, love and the media, and various other loves we have, especially love for popular culture. Throughout, special focus is given to the role jazz plays, as well as other forms of African and African American music, including hip hop, and, especially, the blues.
