Book Description
In Irfan Ajvazi’s artworks, men are discreetly observed, almost like flies on the wall, without disrupting their self-perception. These men represent the modern archetype, dressed in timeless suits, seemingly in control, yet occasionally revealing their vulnerabilities. Irfan’s art uncovers the hidden suffering beneath the facade of order and discipline in the modern world. Drawing has been Irfan’s lifelong means of understanding the world. He skillfully controls color and composition, akin to a seasoned calligrapher or a pianist adding that unspoken essence to his work. His ability to capture the essence of a moment with precision is striking. Ravn takes on the role of a surveillance camera, observing while his subjects lose control, leaving behind intriguing mysteries. Some of Irfan’s pieces exhibit fragmented motifs, revealing the inner turmoil and absurdity of modern existence. Men in suits and shiny shoes tumble, displaying a choreographed loss of control, shedding light on societal norms. His series of artworks often explore variations on a central theme, occasionally delving into the metaphysical, representing the inner and outer pressures that shape our humanity. Irfan’s paintings offer a window into the complex inner lives of his subjects, where multiple personas interact, emotions break through, and the boundaries of control are challenged. Irfan Ajvazi’s art is deeply infused with a profound admiration for black and white photography and the visual culture of Central Europe during the 20th century. Influential filmmakers like Hitchcock, Bergman, Tati, Fellini, and Kubrick have always served as guiding stars, shaping the aesthetic essence of his work. In the early stages of his career, Irfan employed a limited color palette, primarily working with black, white, and ochre oil paints. Later, he introduced ultramarine and vermillion, expanding his spectrum to these five colors. In more recent paintings depicting gardens and forests, a splash of lemon yellow adds a refreshing vibrancy to the lush greenery. Although Irfan’s artistic journey may appear unconventional at first glance, intimate connections can be traced from his early record covers and designs to the themes that pervade his art. For instance, the cover of “Tøsedrengene 3” (1982) visualizes the disciplined young body, while “Gangway’s Out on the Rebound for Love” (1985) introduces the suited modern man. Both these designs carry a lightly nostalgic touch reminiscent of a bygone era, influenced by black and white photography. The overarching exploration of the modern man’s disciplined exterior and tumultuous interior can be observed throughout Irfan’s artistic evolution. This theme is also evident in his fashion design, such as “Trust Your Intuition” (1991), where he plays with the male role in conflict with identity and instincts. In recent years, Irfan’s male figures have begun to break free from their mental confines and interact with various landscapes. Some find themselves in semi-natural garden spaces, while others appear as if they’ve been dropped into open, cultivated landscapes with intricate road networks dividing the surroundings. A few have ventured into the woods, embracing nature. This shift from inhabiting abstract mental spaces to occupying physical spaces is notable. The garden paintings, in particular, are characterized by a dark sense of humor that subtly underlies Irfan’s work. The suited men, despite their formal attire, attempt to unwind in these recreational spaces. This juxtaposition reflects the containment of the human’s animalistic side, mirroring the tamed nature of the garden compared to the wild surroundings. By Noah Moreland , art historian and writer

Book Description
No other Marxist text has come close to achieving the fame and influence of The Communist Manifesto. Translated into over 100 languages, this clarion call to the workers of the world radically shaped the events of the twentieth century. But what relevance does it have for us today? In this slim book Slavoj Zizek argues that, while exploitation no longer occurs the way Marx described it, it has by no means disappeared; on the contrary, the profit once generated through the exploitation of workers has been transformed into rent appropriated through the privatization of the ‘general intellect’. Entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg have become extremely wealthy not because they are exploiting their workers but because they are appropriating the rent for allowing millions of people to participate in the new form of the ‘general intellect’ that they own and control. But, even if Marx’s analysis can no longer be applied to our contemporary world of global capitalism without significant revision, the fundamental problem with which he was concerned, the problem of the commons in all its dimensions – the commons of nature, the cultural commons, and the commons as the universal space of humanity from which no one should be excluded – remains as relevant as ever. This timely reflection on the enduring relevance of The Communist Manifesto will be of great value to everyone interested in the key questions of radical politics today.

Book Description
Foucault's intellectual indebtedness to Nietzsche is apparent in his writing, yet the precise nature, extent, and nuances of that debt are seldom explored. Foucault himself seems sometimes to claim that his approach is essentially Nietzschean, and sometimes to insist that he amounts to a radical break with Nietzsche. This volume is the first of its kind, presenting the relationship between these two thinkers on elements of contemporary culture that they shared interests in, including the nature of life in the modern world, philosophy as a way of life, and the ways in which we ought to read and write about other philosophers. The contributing authors are leading figures in Foucault and Nietzsche studies, and their contributions reflect the diversity of approaches possible in coming to terms with the Foucault-Nietzsche relationship. Specific points of comparison include Foucault and Nietzsche's differing understandings of the Death of God; art and aesthetics; power; writing and authorship; politics and society; the history of ideas; genealogy and archaeology; and the evolution of knowledge.

Book Description
On Heidegger's Being and Time is an outstanding exploration of Heidegger's most important work by two major philosophers. Simon Critchley argues that we must see Being and Time as a radicalization of Husserl's phenomenology, particularly his theories of intentionality, categorial intuition, and the phenomenological concept of the a priori. This leads to a reappraisal and defense of Heidegger's conception of phenomenology. In contrast, Reiner Schürmann urges us to read Heidegger 'backward', arguing that his later work is the key to unravelling Being and Time. Through a close reading of Being and Time Schürmann demonstrates that this work is ultimately aporetic because the notion of Being elaborated in his later work is already at play within it. This is the first time that Schürmann's renowned lectures on Heidegger have been published. The book concludes with Critchley's reinterpretation of the importance of authenticity in Being and Time. Arguing for what he calls an 'originary inauthenticity', Critchley proposes a relational understanding of the key concepts of the second part of Being and Time: death, conscience and temporality.

Book Description
Recent years have seen a great revival of interest in Wittgenstein's early masterpiece, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. The Enchantment of Words is a study of that book, offering novel readings of all its major themes and shedding light on issues in metaphysics, ethics and the philosophies of mind, language, and logic. McManus argues that Wittgenstein's aim in this deeply puzzling work is to show that the 'intelligibility of thought' and the 'meaningfulness of language', which logical truths would delimit and metaphysics and the philosophy of mind and language would explain, are issues constituted by confusions. What is exposed is a mirage of a kind of self-consciousness, a misperception of the ways in which we happen to think, talk and act as reasons why we ought to think, talk and act as we do. The root of that misperception is our confusedly endowing words with a life of their own: we 'enchant', and are 'enchanted by', words, colluding in a confusion that transposes on to them, and the world which we then see them as 'fitting', responsibilities that are actually ours to bear. Such words promise to spare us the trouble, not only of thinking, but of living. In presenting this view, McManus offers readings of all of the major themes of the Tractatus, including its discussion of logical truth, objects, names, inference, subjectivity, solipsism and the ineffable; McManus offers novel explanations of what is at stake in Wittgenstein's comparison of propositions with pictures, of why Wittgenstein declared the point of the Tractatus to be ethical, of how a bookwhich infamously declares itself to be nonsensical can both clarify our thoughts and require of us that we exercise our capacity to reason in reading it, and of how Wittgenstein later came to re-evaluate the achievement of the Tractatus.

Book Description
"In this densely imbricated volume Derrida pursues his devoted, relentless dismantling of the philosophical tradition, the tradition of Plato, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger—each dealt with in one or more of the essays. There are essays too on linguistics (Saussure, Benveniste, Austin) and on the nature of metaphor ("White Mythology"), the latter with important implications for literary theory. Derrida is fully in control of a dazzling stylistic register in this book—a source of true illumination for those prepared to follow his arduous path. Bass is a superb translator and annotator. His notes on the multilingual allusions and puns are a great service."—Alexander Gelley, Library Journal

Book Description
In Foucault Beyond Foucault Jeffrey Nealon argues that critics have too hastily abandoned Foucault's mid-career reflections on power, and offers a revisionist reading of the philosopher's middle and later works. Retracing power's "intensification" in Foucault, Nealon argues that forms of political power remain central to Foucault's concerns. He allows us to reread Foucault's own conceptual itinerary and, more importantly, to think about how we might respond to the mutations of power that have taken place since the philosopher's death in 1984. In this, the book stages an overdue encounter between Foucault and post-Marxist economic history.
