Book Description
A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.

Book Description
The Object of the Atlantic is a wide-ranging study of the transition from a concern with sovereignty to a concern with things in Iberian Atlantic literature and art produced between 1868 and 1968. Rachel Price uncovers the surprising ways that concrete aesthetics from Cuba, Brazil, and Spain drew not only on global forms of constructivism but also on a history of empire, slavery, and media technologies from the Atlantic world. Analyzing Jose Marti’s notebooks, Joaquim de Sousandrade’s poetry, Ramiro de Maeztu’s essays on things and on slavery, 1920s Cuban literature on economic restructuring, Ferreira Gullar’s theory of the “non-object,” and neoconcrete art, Price shows that the turn to objects—and from these to new media networks—was rooted in the very philosophies of history that helped form the Atlantic world itself.

Book Description
"In this classic work of feminist political thought, Iris Marion Young challenges the prevailing reduction of social justice to distributive justice. The starting point for her critique is the experience and concerns of the new social movements that were created by marginal and excluded groups, including women, African Americans, and American Indians, as well as gays and lesbians. Young argues that by assuming a homogeneous public, democratic theorists fail to consider institutional arrangements for including people not culturally identified with white European male norms. Consequently, theorists do not adequately address the problems of an inclusive participatory framework. Basing her vision of the good society on the culturally plural networks of contemporary urban life, Young makes the case that normative theory and public policy should undermine group-based oppression by affirming rather than suppressing social group differences"--Provided by publisher.

Book Description
This text illuminates the relevance and importance of Heidegger’s thought today. The chapters address the modern living conditions of intense social transformation intertwined with the continuous and rapid development of technologies that redefine the borders between nations and cultures. Technology globalizes markets, customs, the exchange of information, and economic flows but also – as Heidegger reminds us – revolutionizes the way we relate to bodies, to life, and to earth, by way of introducing both unprecedented opportunities and great dangers.

Book Description
Nueva traducción de de la obra cumbre de Martin Heidegger "Ser y tiempo" (Sein und Zeit), publicada originalmente en 1927 en múltiples publicaciones. Esta edición contiene un nuevo epílogo del Traductor, una cronología de la vida y la obra de Heidegger, un índice filosófico de conceptos heideggerianos fundamentales y una guía terminológica de los existencialistas de los siglos XIX y XX. Esta traducción está diseñada para facilitar la lectura y la accesibilidad a la enigmática y densa filosofía de Heidegger. Los términos filosóficos complejos y específicos se traducen de la forma más literal posible y se han eliminado las notas académicas a pie de página para facilitar la lectura. Ser y Tiempo presenta un complejo discurso filosófico sobre la naturaleza del ser (Sein) y del tiempo (Zeit), centrándose en particular en el concepto temporal-existencialista de Dasein, término que combina las palabras alemanas para "ser" (sein) y "ahí" (da). Esta obra filosófica clásica examina la comprensión metafísica tradicional del ser, argumentando que esta comprensión, típicamente basada en la idea de una presencia constante, no da cuenta de las dimensiones temporales y existenciales del ser. Heidegger propone que la comprensión del ser requiere un análisis del Dasein, que se caracteriza no sólo por su existencia, sino también por su ser en el mundo y su existencia temporal. El concepto de Dasein es central en su argumentación, ya que subraya que el Dasein siempre está situado en un mundo y su comprensión del ser está determinada por su existencia temporal. Esta perspectiva desafía las nociones metafísicas tradicionales del ser como algo estático e inmutable, proponiendo en su lugar que el ser es fundamentalmente temporal y está conectado con la existencia y la comprensión humanas. Como sugiere el título, Heidegger ve la cuestión del Ser como indistinguible del Tiempo, argumentando que las concepciones newtonianas del tiempo como una serie de puntos del ahora son inadecuadas para comprender el ser del Dasein. Su Ontocronología sostiene que el análisis existencial y ontológico del Dasein revela un concepto más fundamental del tiempo, que es parte integrante de la estructura del propio Ser. El texto profundiza en la idea de "lo arrojado" y en otros temas existencialistas. El arrojo es una de las tres condiciones que significan la inmersión del Dasein en el mundo, donde ya se encuentra enredado en una red de relaciones y significados. Este "ser arrojado", combinado con el inherente ser-hacia-la-muerte del Dasein, subraya la condición existencial de los seres humanos, enmarcando su existencia como un compromiso continuo con su propia finitud y las posibilidades de su ser. Heidegger postula que la comprensión de la naturaleza del ser requiere un replanteamiento fundamental tanto del ser como del tiempo, afirmando dogmáticamente que la verdadera naturaleza del ser sólo puede captarse a través de la comprensión de la temporalidad que caracteriza la existencia del ser.

Book Description
The classic conception of human transcendental consciousness assumes its self-supporting existential status within the horizon of life-world, nature and earth. Yet this assumed absoluteness does not entail the nature of its powers, neither their constitutive force. This latter call for an existential source reaching beyond the generative life-world network. Transcendental consciousness, having lost its absolute status (its point of reference) it is the role of the logos to lay down the harmonious positioning in the cosmic sphere of the all, establishing an original foundation of phenomenology in the primogenital ontopoiesis of life.
