Philosophy 437 Lecture Notes

Contemporary Philosophy: Course Introduction
I. What Is Contemporary Philosophy?
A. Presumably, contemporary philosophy deals with what philosophers are considering now rather than what they considered in the past. But what does "now" include?
1. Now, according to the Undergraduate Bulletin: Philosophers and Philosophies of the Twentieth Century

2. Now, as "cutting edge" philosophy - what is startlingly new and original among this year's philosophy books and journal articles

3. Now, as whatever the philosophy instructor is interested in doing

4. Now, as whatever philosophy students are interested in doing

5. Now, as some issue(s) as dealt with by a number of living philosophers that happens to interest the course instructor

6. Now, as major philosophical issues and works of the last 20-30 years

B. Strange Irony (Probable Statement): A hundred years from now, about 95-99% of the work of presently living philosophers (contemporary philosophy?) will be wholly ignored while 95-99% of the work in the history of philosophy (past philosophy through the nineteenth century that is covered in history of philosophy courses?) will still be studied.
1. So there is a sense in which the history of philosophy always is and always will be contemporary, whereas the vast majority of what people "consider" to be contemporary philosophy is destined for the trash bin of history.

2.. It would seem then that contemporary philosophy is largely a waste of time compared with study of the history of philosophy—except for the fact that it is unclear now precisely what portions of contemporary philosophy will be discarded.

3. So a student has to take contemporary philosophy with "a grain of salt," maintain a sense of perspective on contemporary philosophy, and not merely presume that consideration of past philosophy is a waste of time.



II. Movements, Systems, Specialization, and Analytic Philosophy
A. Perennial Tasks of Philosophy
1. Dealing with Long-Standing Central Problems of Philosophy - free will vs. determinism, mind-body, the physical and mental, the nature of knowledge, logic, God, ethics, justice, etc.

2. Providing Philosophical Interpretation of New Advances in Human Knowledge and Actions

3. Developing Methods of Philosophical Analysis - usually based on reasoning and accumulated over long periods of time

B. Philosophical Movements
1. Philosophical movements mark a commitment to a somewhat different approach to philosophical problems that adherents view as significant progress over what was being done before.

a. The idea of progress, rather than final answers or a utopia, is necessary for a movement.

2. Movements tend to start and develop with a heady optimism regarding what they can accomplish; and they may depart somewhat from the perennial tasks of philosophy. Eventually though, this optimism tends to be lost either because unforeseen problems arise or the initially promising channels of investigation reach points of diminishing returns.

3. When movements lose momentum, there usually is a return to the perennial problems of philosophy—although these problems may well now be enriched through the movement’s efforts.

C. Some Quasi-Philosophical Movements in the Twentieth Century
1. General Semantics – an attempt to improve human life through a scientific analysis of language that was held to be more accurate and more open than the two-valued logic embedded in our traditional language through the philosophy of Aristotle

a. Leading Proponents – Alfred Korzybski (1879-1950) and S.I. Hayakawa (1906-1992)

b. Major Works – Korzybski (Science and Sanity), Hayakawa (Language in Thought and Action)

c. Result – A brief flurry of interest at one time, but no major followers now

2. Behaviorism - an attempt to improve human life through a scientific study of human behavior that turned away from explanation of human actions in terms of internal mental states.

a. Major Proponents – John B. Watson (1878-1958) and B. F. Skinner (1904-1990)

b. Major Works – Watson (Behaviorism), Skinner (Science and Human Behavior, Verbal Behavior, Beyond Freedom and Dignity, Walden Two)

c. Result – A major movement in 20th century psychology most influential from the 1930s to the 1960s, but still influential today—although the more extreme claims about the absence of internal states have lost much of their force and interest

3. Design and Progress - an attempt to improve human life through scientific design, that is, by "reforming the living environment through design on all levels rather than by reforming people through economics and/or politics."

a. Major Proponent – R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1980s)

b. Result - Probably a curiosity rather than a major movement

D. Major Philosophical Movements of the Twentieth Century
1. Pragmatism

2. Process Philosophy

3. Logical Positivism

4. Analytic Philosophy

5. Existentialism (Phenomenology)

6. Postmodernism

7. Feminism

8. Social Constructivism

E. Philosophical Systems
1. A philosophical system possesses a relatively well-organized set of solutions to the major perennial problems of philosophy as well as a distinctive method of approach to philosophical problems.

a. Classic Examples: Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Locke, Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Hegel

2. A philosophical movement may or may not produce a system.

3. During most of the twentieth century, philosophical movements have strongly tended to be anti-systemic (pragmatism for the most part, existentialism, postmodernism, feminism, social constructivism) or non-systemic (logical positivism and analytic philosophy.)

a. Some of the turning away from systems is attributable to a reaction against Hegelian Absolute Idealism.

4. Major Perennial Problems of Philosophy

a. What exists?—things, events, ideas, percepts, symbols

b. What is the status of God?—nature, existence or non-existence, significance

c. What is the status of the mental and the physical?

d. Are the universe and human actions deterministic?

e. What is human nature and what is its significance?

f. What are the standards, if any, by which we successfully claim to know anything?

g. What method(s) most advances philosophical inquiry?

h. What is the nature of value and the good life?

i. What is the proper relation of the individual to society?

F. Specialization and Analytic Philosophy
1. The stress on specialization in twentieth century philosophy encourages a non-systemic approach

2. Analytic philosophy tends to proceed "piecemeal," with the writing of journal articles and subsequent books that often are mainly collections of journal articles.

3. The academic requirements for publishing in higher education push philosophers toward specialization and writing of journal articles—articles that often are commentaries upon other articles.

British and Romantic Victorian Cultures

Stacey on Romantic, Victorian and Modern British Literature (MU ENG264-Dr. J. Glance)
References: Longman Anthology of British Literature, 2nd Compact Ed., Vol. B., (2003).


Adeline Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)
“Women and the fiction that is written about them”
-Virginia Woolf
from A Room of One’s Own, Chapter 1

Could Virginia Woolf’s life story be the reason she rejected Victorian ideals? Her “own roots went deep in Victorian literary culture” (Longman, p.1222). I believe it was because she was denied a formal education and it is stated that “the sense of having been deliberately shut out of education by virtue of her sex was to inflect all of Woolf’s writing and thinking”(Longman, p.1223).
It seems only natural that Woolf (the quintessential victim of sexism by her brothers’ objectification and incest) would reject the Victorian leaning of group-think (hypocritical) morality. How immoral a society that would dismiss the self-determination of their members and allow the oppression of so many of their members; specifically women?

Woolf’s stance in A Room of One’s Own (that a woman writer needs her own room and money) reflects her understanding that as long as women are financially-disadvantaged, they will continue to be at a disadvantage both educationally and socially.

About the Center
The Center for African Studies promotes excellence in teaching and research on Africa in all the disciplines at the University of Florida. The Center also disseminates knowledge about Africa to the wider community through an integrated outreach program to schools, colleges, community groups, and businesses. Central to this mission is sustaining contacts and expanding interactive linkages with individuals and institutions on the African continent. In addition to undergraduate education, the Center promotes and supports graduate studies as essential for the development of a continuing community of Africanist scholars.

The Center has over 100 affiliated teaching and research faculty in a wide variety of fields, including: languages, the humanities, the social sciences, agriculture, business, engineering, education, fine arts, environmental studies and conservation, journalism, and law. A number of faculty members with appointments wholly or partially within the Center have facilitated the development of a core curriculum in African Studies in support of the undergraduate minor and graduate certificate programs.

A full-time Outreach Director oversees an active program that provides ongoing training opportunities for K-12 teachers and educators from postsecondary institutions as well as outreach for business, media, and community groups.

CAS is funded in part by a U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center Grant which supports research, teaching, outreach, and development of international linkages. It is the only National Resource Center for Africa located in the southeastern US, and the only one in a sub-tropical zone.

The Center thus plays a pivotal role in addressing issues critical for understanding Africa in the global context. At a time when the University of Florida is expanding its international dimension, a major component of the Center for African Studies' mission is to work with the rest of the University in promoting Africa-related programs on the campus and beyond.

Description
Drawing together theoretically informed literary history and the cultural history of sexuality, friendship, and affective relations, this is the first study to trace fully the influence of this notorious yet often undervalued cultural tradition on British Romanticism, a movement that both draws on and resists Sensibility’s excessive embodiments of non-normative pleasure. Offering a broad consideration of literary genres while balancing the contributions of both canonical and non-canonical male and female writers, this bold new study insists on the need to revise the traditional boundaries of literary periods and establishes unexpected influences on both Romantic and early Victorian culture and their shared pleasures of attachment.



Author Bio
Christopher C. Nagle is Assistant Professor of English at Western Michigan University, where he teaches courses in eighteenth and nineteenth-century British and Irish literature as well as critical theory and gender studies. His previous work has appeared in English Literary History, Persuasions: The Jane Austen Journal, and Comparative Drama.



Praise for Sexuality and the Culture of Sensibility in the British Romantic Era
“This is an ambitious study that argues for the continuance of Sensibility within Romanticism, ‘embedded’ within texts by writers who ostensibly rejected its excesses in favor of more directed models of psychological development, and seeking social cohesion in other modes. A strength of the study is, thus, one of range: not many studies move with equal surefootedness from Lawrence Sterne to Tennyson, and across genres from fiction to poetry.”--Peter Manning, SUNY-Stony Brook University



“This book opens the door to the Romantic closet at last. Besides dealing with issues of gender and sexuality as they have rarely been addressed, Nagle exposes romanticism's deep debt to the culture of sensibility and all the complexity of deep personal response that culture implies. This remarkable study deals with the major poets, women writers of both poetry and prose, and it demonstrates the ways in which Romantic writers are in active dialogue with predecessors of Sensibility. It opens the Romantic era to so much of the politics of pleasure that were seething within it all along.”--George E. Haggerty, University of California, Riverside



“This elegant study, with its creative synthesis of historicism, gender studies, and queer theory and its superlative close readings, provides exciting new analyses of classic works by Austen, Wordsworth, Shelley, and others. Arguing for a politics of pleasure that can be traced to the enduring influence of Sterne, Nagle offers a bold and stimulating assessment of the persistent role of sensibility through the Romantic period and well into the Victorian era. Nagle’s original juxtaposition of canonical and non-canonical works yields a study that convinces readers of overlooked connections and under-appreciated continuities. This book is bound to alter irrevocably our understanding of literary culture at the turn of the nineteenth century.”-- Elizabeth Kowaleski Wallace, Boston College

Eth Noise! Ethnomusicology

Theories and methods
Ethnomusicologists often apply theories and methods from cultural anthropology, cultural studies and sociology as well as other disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. Though some ethnomusicologists primarily conduct historical studies, the majority are involved in long-term participant observation. Therefore, ethnomusicological work can be characterized as featuring a substantial, intensive ethnographic component.

Some ethnomusicological works are created not necessarily by 'ethnomusicologists' proper, but instead by anthropologists examining music as an aspect of a culture. A well-known example of such work is Colin Turnbull's study of the Mbuti pygmies. Another is Jaime de Angulo, a linguist who intensively studied the music of the natives of Northern California.[5] Additionally, Anthony Seeger, professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied the music and society of the Suya people in Mato Grosso, Brazil.[6]


[edit] Academic programs
Many universities in North America and Europe now offer ethnomusicology classes and act as centers for ethnomusicological research. The following list includes graduate and undergraduate degree-granting programs (number in parentheses indicates year the program was founded). [7]

Oxford University Library Services

Collection Development Policy for Music



1. Overview



1.1 General coverage of subject in OULS.

Oxford’s library resources in the field of music are almost certainly the finest in the university sector in the U.K., being concentrated in the Bodleian and Music Faculty libraries. The Bodleian’s music collection, with about 500,000 items of printed music, 60,000 books and journals, and 5,000 manuscripts, probably rank it amongst the top dozen music research libraries in the world, with rich all-round holdings, as well as having a number of outstanding special collections of international standing. The Music Faculty Library, originating in a loan collection of music formed in the early years of the 20th century, is the primary teaching collection, with most of its stock borrowable. It has ca. 18,000 items of printed music, and 18,000 books and journals; it also houses the main sound recordings collection of the university, with ca. 15,000 LPs and 4,500 CDs. Whilst college libraries also make substantial provision for undergraduate studies in subjects like History, English and Classics, most, quite justifiably in view of the spread of students, cater very little for music students, who are therefore heavily reliant on the resources of OULS libraries.



1.2 Legal deposit



The Bodleian houses the legal deposit collections in music. Basic reference material and major journals (both legal deposit and purchased) are on open shelves in the Music Reading Room, with the great majority of the collection in the closed access bookstack (much of it, however, in close proximity to the Reading Room). Printed music has been regularly received under legal deposit since about 1780; the comprehensiveness of receipt has varied greatly over time, but donated collections and purchases have done much both to fill in gaps and to provide splendid collections of earlier British musical publications. In the last 20 years a large ‘grey’ area has developed with self-publishing composers and a growth of music ‘published on demand’. Such publications are received very erratically under legal deposit (even from mainstream publishers), and the legal position remains unclear. In the case of non-deposit, some purchases are made of the more significant material in these categories, but, finances permitting, much more could be attempted. The Bodleian has never rejected the popular music of the day – resulting, for example, in its wonderful collection of Victorian and Edwardian music hall songs – and the latest pop albums are received alongside the works of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. It should be noted, however, than sound recordings (unless adjuncts to books) do not come within the provisions of British legal deposit, unlike the situation in many other countries.



1.3 Electronic Resources



Music has comparatively few subscription databases. Apart from the New Grove Dictionary of Music (widely used by both music and more general users), Oxford currently subscribes to RILM Music Abstracts, and RISM (manuscript series). All are accessible through OxLIP. In the course of the current year it is planned to move over to a joint package which will also given online access to RIPM (19th- and early 20th-cent. retrospective music periodical index) and IMP (Index to Music Periodicals:



Collections & Series), provided at about the same cost as currently just RILM and RISM. A development of RIPM to offer full text of the periodicals indexed is expected within a year or so, which promises to be of great use, but undoubtedly will have financial implications. Other possible resources, such as IIMP (International Index to Music Periodicals), which offers full-text journals, will be kept under review, though in many cases there is substantial duplication with other electronic provision. For online listening resources see under 2.4.



1.4 Formats



Music as an academic subject probably involves a greater variety of formats than other any subject – not only books and journals in all the various musicological sub-disciplines, but scores of printed music, sound recordings and audio-visual materials all having to be accommodated within the budget.



1.5 Languages



Music being essentially international in its nature, books and journals are acquired in a wide number of languages, although English naturally predominates, especially at undergraduate level. Amongst the foreign languages, German, French, Italian and Spanish are the most prominent in that order, but the large number of major composers from Eastern Europe also means that literature in Russian, Czech, Polish and Hungarian is also acquired in significant quantities, as well as occasional items in other languages.



1.6 OULS Collection Management



OULS has several general collection management policy documents, which refer to all subjects and collections. These are available on the web and deal with the location, retention, disposal and transfer of library material: http://www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/collections/collection_management_policy



2. Teaching collections



The main teaching collections for Music are housed in the Music Faculty Library. Unlike most other subjects, library materials in the form of scores and recordings are often needed for use in lectures, classes and tutorials, so the proximity of the library and teaching/lecture rooms is an important feature of the setup.



2.1 Books



The Music Faculty Library purchases books predominantly to support undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses, mainly in English, although given the essentially international and multi-lingual nature of music, important works of reference and biography in other Western languages are also acquired. Books appearing on reading lists in related non-musical disciplines (e.g. theatre history, general aesthetics) are not generally purchased for the Faculty Library, but are available in the Bodleian and other OULS/college libraries. Requested copies of theses available on demand are acquired for either the Bodleian or Faculty libraries, when they would be of general interest, otherwise users are advised to make use of ILL. Although E-books have so far not been conspicuous in the music field, they are beginning to make an appearance, and their acquisition, especially as substitutes for multiple copy provision, will be kept under review.



2.2 Journals



Some rationalisation of duplicated holdings between the Bodleian and Faculty periodical collections has recently been made, although hard-copy formats of major British journals and a small number of foreign titles (largely in English) are still subscribed to by the Faculty Library. Electronic access to current issues is available at present for only a relatively small number of music titles likely to be of interest in a British academic context (almost exclusively in English); the university has subscriptions for some of these (mainly through bulk packages), and this will be extended as finances allow. It is expected that moves towards online access only for many journals will increase in the coming years in accordance with general OULS collection development policies. For back issues of ca. 40 core journals, JSTOR is found most useful, and is widely used by both undergraduates and researchers. Access to a range of free electronic journals in the field of music is being provided through TD-Net.



2.3 Printed music



The Faculty Library subscribes to collected editions of many major composers – they are the bedrock of any academic music collection – and to a number of other important series, such as Musica Britannica and Early English Church Music. Copies of other important historical editions and facsimiles are purchased (mostly for loan), and a representative collection of the works of contemporary composers is aimed at – part of the objective of the undergraduate curriculum being to enable students to acquaint themselves with as wide a range of music as possible. Music is acquired primarily for study purposes rather than to meet performance needs, although particularly the piano, solo vocal and chamber music collections do get used in both private and public performances. Students taking the performance options in examinations, however, would expect to acquire their own copies (which they could freely annotate) rather than rely on library material. Orchestral parts and sets of multiple copies of vocal scores are not acquired. Printed music is, however, naturally subject to rather more wear and tear than ordinary books (partly by virtue of the folio size of most music), and consequently allowance needs to be made for replacement of worn-out material. (The long-term value of the Bodleian’s reference-only copies is nowhere better demonstrated than in the relatively pristine condition of most of the music stock, which music publishers themselves often call upon when they discover they have kept no archive copy of a particular item.)



2.4 Sound recordings



The Music Faculty Library houses the main sound recordings collection in the university, and in addition to purchases, it is fairly regularly offered donations of collections – though (especially if of a general nature) these may be declined, owing to likelihood of duplication and processing costs. The standard Western art music repertoire is fairly well covered, even in CD format, so new purchases are concentrated on recordings of contemporary music and rarer older repertoire. The need for comparative recordings is considered, particularly in the light of performance studies options, and given the current release on CD of historic recordings from the pre-LP era. (Taken across the various LP/CD/online formats, there already exists a good basis for comparative studies of much standard repertoire). A representative sample of jazz recordings is also maintained, for use in conjunction with the jazz options/lectures offered from time to time. The Library subscribes to two online listening services for music students, Classical Music Library and Naxos, which are very popular. Subscription levels allow for only a small number of simultaneous users, so students are warned not to give information on access to non-music students. It is not designed as a general leisure resource for the whole university, which would entail a large increase in cost.



2.5 DVD/Videos



The Music Faculty Library maintains a collection of (mainly) opera recordings on video, and, more recently, on DVD. It is added to as appropriate (usually at staff or student request) – the primary aim is to extend coverage of opera titles, rather than acquire different productions of the same opera.



2.6 Microforms



The Music Faculty has a collection of microfilms, mostly of individual manuscripts of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, acquired by donation or at the request of individual members of staff and students; it is added as appropriate.



2.7 Level of provision



At least one copy of each music book on reading lists is purchased; high-demand books are placed on general reserve in the Faculty Library, short-term loan only being permitted; additional general lending copies are purchased as considered desirable. It is planned to set up a short-term loan collection with extra copies of high-demand material, initially funded by the Dalton Fund. (The Bodleian’s reference-only copies also serve an important back-up function for such material). In the future E-books will probably begin to play an increasing role in providing such access. Multiple copies of scores for lecture/class use will be purchased if necessary, although the standard repertoire appears to be reasonably well catered for.



3. Research collections



The research collections in Music are principally housed in the Bodleian, allowing for in-depth study of a wide range of musicological disciplines. For certain sub-disciplines (e.g. analysis) the Music Faculty’s resources are often sufficient for some research purposes, while in the field of ethnomusicology, resources are of necessity more scattered (see under 6. Note on Ethnomusicology).



3.1 Books



Books are purchased for the Bodleian in the various branches of music and musicology in a wide range of languages, and in as great a depth as funding permits. Concentration is on Western art music, although scholarly work on more popular genres (primarily in English) is also acquired. While some important monograph series are supplied on standing orders, generally a selective approach is applied to titles, in order to make best use of available funds.



3.2 Journals



The Bodleian has an impressive collection of music periodicals, including fine sets of major 19th-century French and German titles and both Western and Slavonic languages are covered. Current subscriptions cover a wide range of journals, including composer yearbooks. While the number of current titles taken is good by other UK university standards, it falls far behind those subscribed to by major USA institutions. In particular, the depth of coverage of publications of societies devoted to individual composers and instruments leaves room for improvement.



3.3 Printed Music



The Bodleian aims to collect composers’ collected editions and other major scholarly Denkmäler series in a comprehensive manner. As wide a range of facsimiles and significant other new editions of older music is acquired as the budget will allow. In the field of contemporary art music, it is aimed to collect major international figures such as Boulez, Stockhausen and Elliott Carter comprehensively, whilst the works of established lesser figures are purchased in a selective manner – again budgets are the main restraining factor, the scope for acquisition being vast. Assessing the long-term significance of the younger generations of contemporary composers is always a problematic area, and inevitably retrospective collecting has to be done on various figures, whose stature only becomes apparent with the passing of time. On the more popular side, material such as transcribed jazz scores and vocal scores of Broadway musicals are acquired.



3.4 Sound Recordings



In addition to material received by legal deposit as parts of books or music scores, the Bodleian purchases CDs of local music recordings (e.g. of college choirs), as an adjunct to its archive of local concert programmes.



3.5 Microforms



In addition to a number of microfilms of individual music manuscripts, the Bodleian has a large collection of the commercial packages of microfilms of the music manuscripts of both its own and other British collections. They are widely used, especially for collation of sources. The collection is added to as funding permits, and there is certainly scope for extending it to available continental collections.



4. Special Collections



The Bodleian has extensive special collections in both manuscript and printed form from medieval times onwards. Whilst British music lies at its core, there are large and highly important collections of material such as 17th-century Italian instrumental music, and first and early editions of the Viennese classical period. Amongst the copious 19th-century collections, the printed editions of Chopin and Berlioz are outstanding, as is the Harding Collection of American songs, while the Deneke Mendelssohn Collection makes the Library one of the two principal centres of Mendelssohn research. The Bodleian has been exceptionally fortunate in the number of outstanding collections to have come its way in the past 40 years (mostly be donation), including the Deneke, Harding, Tenbury and Tyson collections, which have radically increased its international profile. Suitable additions are made, especially to areas with already strong holdings, as opportunity and funding permit. The Bodleian also has substantial holdings of concert and opera programmes, both local and national, several important older collections having been added in recent years; it is regularly added to both by legal deposit and donation. The manuscripts and older printed music of the Music Faculty Library were transferred to the Bodleian in the 1990s; the Faculty retains a small collection of older treatises on music, and the Frank Howes collection of folk music. The Bate Collection of Musical Instruments has a reference-only donated collection of books on instruments and instrumental tutors.



5. Subject coverage of selected purchased material in OULS



Books and journals: Historical musicology, musical bibliography, compositional techniques, music theory and aesthetics, analysis, instruments and performance practice, ethnomusicology. Works are only exceptionally purchased in the field of foreign music education, and only academic titles on western-style popular music are considered for acquisition. Printed music: western art music, folk music, musicals, jazz (representatively). Sound recordings: western art music, plus representative collections of folk music, musicals and jazz. Video/DVD: mainly opera, some folk music.



6. Note on Ethnomusicology



With ethnomusicology impinging greatly on other fields like social anthropology and area studies, library provision also tends to be somewhat diffuse. The Indian Institute Library and Bodleian Japanese Library cater for the traditional music of their respective countries, whilst the Balfour Library also acquires some music-related literature, particularly of an anthropological nature. The Bodleian has substantial resources of European and American folk music collections and related literature within the main music and book collections, and takes general ethnomusicological literature and journals, whilst the Oriental department also collects relevant material for its geographical area. The donated Frank Howes collection in the Music Faculty Library is primarily European and American in its scope. While the Faculty already has a number of World Music videos, the recordings/audio-visual area will be subject to review once the newly appointed lecturer in ethnomusicology arrives in October 2007.

Continental Philosophy

Continental Philosophy of Social Science
Yvonne Sherratt
University of Oxford

Continental Philosophy of Social Science demonstrates the unique and autonomous nature of the continental approach to social science and contrasts it with the Anglo-American tradition. Yvonne Sherratt argues for the importance of an historical understanding of the Continental tradition in order to appreciate its individual, humanist character. Examining the key traditions of hermeneutic, genealogy, and critical theory, and the texts of major thinkers such as Gadamer, Ricoeur, Derrida, Nietzsche, Foucault, the Early Frankfurt School and Habermas, she also contextualizes contemporary developments within strands of thought stemming back to Ancient Greece and Rome. Sherratt shows how these modes of thinking developed through medieval Christian thought into the Enlightenment and Romantic eras, before becoming mainstays of twentieth-century disciplines. Continental Philosophy of Social Science will serve as the essential textbook for courses in philosophy or social sciences.

• Specializes in European traditions of the philosophy of social sciences • Contextualizes European tradition against Anglo-American approaches • Places familiar names like Gadamer, Habermas, Foucault, and Derrida in deep traditions of history and European thought

Note on PDF (Portable Document Format): I have decided to use pdf format exclusively. Adobe pdf renders fully searchable, compact, near-facsimile editions. On-screen text size can be adjusted easily, a big advantage for those with less than perfect vision. Complex typefaces such as accentuated Greek can be embedded. Pdf text resembles the original, authoritative edition to a really impressive degree, and the fact that it resembles the original greatly facilitates proofreading. The minor responsibility of downloading and installing the freeware Acrobat Reader is more than repaid by pdf's ease of reading and scholarly advantages. I am also aware of the advantages of xml / sghtml, which some archivists have adopted as a standard for reproduction of texts, and in future I may well begin offering texts in both pdf and xml.

Description
Drawing together theoretically informed literary history and the cultural history of sexuality, friendship, and affective relations, this is the first study to trace fully the influence of this notorious yet often undervalued cultural tradition on British Romanticism, a movement that both draws on and resists Sensibility’s excessive embodiments of non-normative pleasure. Offering a broad consideration of literary genres while balancing the contributions of both canonical and non-canonical male and female writers, this bold new study insists on the need to revise the traditional boundaries of literary periods and establishes unexpected influences on both Romantic and early Victorian culture and their shared pleasures of attachment.
Author Bio
Christopher C. Nagle is Assistant Professor of English at Western Michigan University, where he teaches courses in eighteenth and nineteenth-century British and Irish literature as well as critical theory and gender studies. His previous work has appeared in English Literary History, Persuasions: The Jane Austen Journal, and Comparative Drama.
Praise for Sexuality and the Culture of Sensibility in the British Romantic Era
“This is an ambitious study that argues for the continuance of Sensibility within Romanticism, ‘embedded’ within texts by writers who ostensibly rejected its excesses in favor of more directed models of psychological development, and seeking social cohesion in other modes. A strength of the study is, thus, one of range: not many studies move with equal surefootedness from Lawrence Sterne to Tennyson, and across genres from fiction to poetry.”--Peter Manning, SUNY-Stony Brook University

“This book opens the door to the Romantic closet at last. Besides dealing with issues of gender and sexuality as they have rarely been addressed, Nagle exposes romanticism's deep debt to the culture of sensibility and all the complexity of deep personal response that culture implies. This remarkable study deals with the major poets, women writers of both poetry and prose, and it demonstrates the ways in which Romantic writers are in active dialogue with predecessors of Sensibility. It opens the Romantic era to so much of the politics of pleasure that were seething within it all along.”--George E. Haggerty, University of California, Riverside

“This elegant study, with its creative synthesis of historicism, gender studies, and queer theory and its superlative close readings, provides exciting new analyses of classic works by Austen, Wordsworth, Shelley, and others. Arguing for a politics of pleasure that can be traced to the enduring influence of Sterne, Nagle offers a bold and stimulating assessment of the persistent role of sensibility through the Romantic period and well into the Victorian era. Nagle’s original juxtaposition of canonical and non-canonical works yields a study that convinces readers of overlooked connections and under-appreciated continuities. This book is bound to alter irrevocably our understanding of literary culture at the turn of the nineteenth century.”-- Elizabeth Kowaleski Wallace, Boston College
