Immanence and the Vertigo of Philosophy

From Kant to Deleuze

By: Christian Kerslake

One of the terminological constants in the philosophical work of Gilles Deleuze is the word 'immanence', and it has therefore become a foothold for those wishing to understand exactly what 'Deleuzian philosophy' is. Deleuze's philosophy of immanence is held to be fundamentally characterised by its opposition to all philosophies of 'transcendence'. On that basis, it is widely believed that Deleuze's project is premised on a return to a materialist metaphysics. Christian Kerslake argues that such an interpretation is fundamentally misconceived, and has led to misunderstandings of Deleuze's philosophy, which is rather one of the latest heirs to the post-Kantian tradition of thought about immanence. This will be the first book to assess Deleuze's relationship to Kantian epistemology and post-Kantian philosophy, and will attempt to make Deleuze's philosophy intelligible to students working within that tradition. But it also attempts to reconstruct our image of the post-Kantian tradition, isolating a lineage that takes shape in the work of Schelling and Wronski, and which is developed in the twentieth century by Bergson, Warrain and Deleuze.

Deleuze and the Unconscious

By: Christian Kerslake

By the end of the twentieth century, it had been almost forgotten that the Freudian account of the unconscious was only one of many to have emerged from the intellectual ferment of the second half of the 19th century. The philosophical roots of the concept of the unconscious in Leibniz, Kant, Schelling and Schopenhauer had also been occluded from view by the dominance of Freudianism. From his earliest work of the 1940s until his final writings of the 1990s, Gilles Deleuze stood at odds with this dominant current, rejecting Freud as sole source for ideas about the unconscious. This most 'contemporary' of French philosophers acted as custodian of all the ideas that had been rejected by the proponents of the psychoanalytic model, carefully preserving them and, when possible, injecting them with new life. In 1950s and 60s Deleuze turned to Henri Bergson's theories of memory and instinct and to Carl Jung's theory of archetypes. In Difference and Repetition (1968) he conceived of a 'differential unconscious' based on Leibnizian principles. He was also immersed from the beginning in esoteric and occult ideas about the nature of the mind. Deleuze and the Unconscious shows how these tendencies combine in Deleuze's work to engender a wholly new approach to the unconscious, for which active relations to the unconscious are just as important as the better known pathologies of neurosis and psychosis.

Master Mathematics Teachers

Educational and Professional Excellence in Chinese Primary Schools

By: Zhenzhen Miao,Christian Bokhove,David Reynolds

This practical guide invites teachers to take a journey towards masterly mathematics teaching using the experiences and lessons learnt across five Chinese provinces, Anhui, Beijing, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Tianjin. On this journey, you will gain a thorough understanding of: (1) the quality and characteristics of master mathematics teachers’ teaching, (2) the quality of mathematics learning they have nurtured amongst their students in affective, metacognitive and cognitive dimensions and (3) the teaching-learning mechanisms that underpin excellent performance in the three dimensions. Alongside the quantitative and qualitative evidence on educational excellence, you will also delve deep into the trajectories and processes of professional development that generate professional excellence amongst master mathematics teachers and their peers within and across primary schools, up and down China. Building on data collected with 70 master mathematics teachers and 3,178 students and from teaching research events at the school, municipal, provincial and national levels, the Master Mathematics Teachers (MasterMT) project is, to date, the first that has looked at the legendary tribe of master mathematics teachers in China at such a large scale, and with such breadth and depth. The book offers invaluable insights for any teacher or teacher educator who wants to improve mathematics teaching and learning and generate educational and professional excellence in primary schools and beyond. More information on the Master Mathematics Teachers (MasterMT) project can be accessed at https://mastermt.org/.

Adaptive Languages

An Information-Theoretic Account of Linguistic Diversity

By: Christian Bentz

Languages carry information. To fulfil this purpose, they employ a multitude of coding strategies. This book explores a core property of linguistic coding – called lexical diversity. Parallel text corpora of overall more than 1800 texts written in more than 1200 languages are the basis for computational analyses. Different measures of lexical diversity are discussed and tested, and Shannon’s measure of uncertainty – the entropy – is chosen to assess differences in the distributions of words. To further explain this variation, a range of descriptive, explanatory, and grouping factors are considered in a series of statistical models. The first category includes writing systems, word-formation patterns, registers and styles. The second category includes population size, non-native speaker proportions and language status. Grouping factors further elicit whether the results extrapolate across – or are limited to – specific language families and areas. This account marries information-theoretic methods with a complex systems framework, illustrating how languages adapt to the varying needs of their users. It sheds light on the puzzling diversity of human languages in a quantitative, data driven and reproducible manner.

Environmental Standards

Combined Exposures and Their Effects on Human Beings and Their Environment

The rapid growth of the world population - nearly six-fold over the last hundred years - combined with the rising number of technical installations especially in the industrialized countries has lead to ever tighter and more strained living spaces on our planet. Because ofthe inevitable processes oflife, man was at first an exploiter rather than a careful preserver of the environment. Environmental awareness with the intention to conserve the environment has grown only in the last few decades. Environmental standards have been defined and limit values have been set largely guided, however, by scientific and medical data on single exposures, while public opinion, on the other hand, now increasingly calls for astronger consideration of the more complex situations following combined exposures. Furthermore, it turned out that environmental standards, while necessarily based on scientific data, must also take into account ethical, legal, economic, and sociological aspects. A task of such complexity can only be dealt with appropriately in the framework of an inter disciplinary group.

Immanence and Micropolitics

By: Christian Gilliam

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Immanence and Micropolitics

Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault and Deleuze

By: Christian Gilliam

Christian Gilliam argues that a philosophy of 'pure' immanence is integral to the development of an alternative understanding of 'the political'; one that re-orients our understanding of the self toward the concept of an unconscious or 'micropolitical' life of desire. He argues that here, in this 'life', is where the power relations integral to the continuation of post-industrial capitalism are most present and most at stake. Through proving its philosophical context, lineage and political import, Gilliam ultimately comes to outline and justify the conceptual importance and necessity of immanence in understanding politics and resistance, thereby challenging the claim that ontologies of 'pure' immanence are either apolitical and/or politically incoherent.

Mallarmé

Rancière, Milner, Badiou

By: Robert Boncardo,Christian R. Gelder

From the post-War writings of Sartre and Blanchot to the post-structuralism of Jacques Derrida and Julia Kristeva, French philosophers have consistently debated the poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé, almost as a rite of passage. Alain Badiou, Jean-Claude Milner and Jacques Rancière — three of the most important philosophers alive today — are no exception, having written extensively about the poet since the 1960’s and 70’s up until today. This book contains a series of interviews with these three figures on Mallarmé, as well as an extended introduction that places their thought on literature into dialogue. Speaking about their personal and philosophical relationships with each other, on methods of reading, on poetry and politics, and poetry and mathematics, each philosopher reflects on their life-long engagement with Mallarmé, as well as on the different, often incommensurable, images of the poet their philosophies have generated. As Rancière, Milner and Badiou point to the past importance and future directions Mallarmé gives to thought, these interviews lend credence to Barthes’ remark that “all we can do is repeat Mallarmé – and it is good that we do so”.

Foundations of Property Law

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Foundations of Property Law

Things as Objects of Property Rights

By: Christian von Bar

Foundations of Property Law: Things as Objects of Property Rights is an abridged translation of the first volume of Christian von Bar's Gemeineuropäisches Sachenrecht -a milestone in European private law theory, and in comparative property law more broadly. Radical in content and scope, the English version examines the dynamics of interaction between the objects, contents, and holders of property. The conceptual framework of 'property law' is presented as a domain of erga omnes monopoly rights that govern the relationship between persons and objects of value. Within that framework, a reciprocal relationship is illustrated between "property rights" and their objects; property rights play a role in constituting the very objects ("things") in which they are held. With comprehensive comparative analysis, insights are gleaned from all the jurisdictions of the European Union and the United Kingdom, presenting a critical evaluation of property law systems in both Common and Civil Law traditions. This book joins all the national legal systems in a single inquiry, treating their traditions and arguments with the respect they deserve and taking advantage of the knowledge embodied in the diversity of European private law. A scholastic work, offering deep and unique insights into the European property law systems, Foundations of Property Law will quickly become a go-to resource for anyone interested in European private law and comparative property law.

Connecting the Dots

From Prophecy to Messiah

By: Mary Christian

God lovingly gave his Word to inform us of his plan. God, the absolute author, wrote his love letter to humankind with many hands and many quills. He eloquently wrote the past and the future using metaphor, simile, personification, and antithesis. His book is history, geography, muniment, ancestry, biography, drama, romance, mystery, and instruction. In Connecting the Dots, a collection of devotionals weaves together Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment of prophecy concerning our Messiah and Redeemer. These devotionals highlight the important last-minute instructions from Jesus to the group of men he chose to take the gospel to the world. These are lessons taken from the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Christ. Every detail of these lessons is pertinent to Christians who are committed to the Great Commission, and it challenges today’s believers concerning our responsibilities as disciples. The Holy Spirit of God, who was present at the creation and the immaculate conception of Jesus, not only lives in the hearts of those redeemed but also lives in the words of God’s book. It is He who quickens alive this Word in our hearts as we read and experience weeping turning to laughter, and conviction turning to joy.

The Third Tree

The Third Tree

By: Craig Christian

There are two creations mentioned in God's word: the first described in the book of Genesis, and the second being the natural world all around us. What is man's relationship to these creations, and how do these relate to the Creator? There are two trees in the Garden of Eden: The Tree of Life, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. What were their purposes then and now? Examine the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation with Craig Christian, as he embarks with readers on a journey of discovery that reveals a third and final tree that connects many of the mysterious dots that we have all wondered about. Pairing humor with deep and fresh perspectives on creation, the fall, and salvation, readers will gain a greater understanding of the perfection of God, man's inseverable ties to creation, and awe-inspiring evidence that no detail of creation was ever completed outside of the Creator's purpose. Above all, The Third Tree contrasts God's ways with man's ways directly and simply, while demonstrating the consistency of his eternal word. When we broaden our understanding of God's perfection as expressed through his creation, and the manner in which salvation has been provided, we can only be awestruck. We can only give him glory and praise. This book will sharpen your vision and appreciation for God, his creation, and the salvation he freely offers to all.

Come Up Hither

The Mystery of the Seven Churches

By: Christian Michael

Friend, the Lord has spoken better things of you. Don't settle at the plain, go further with the Lord. There is more to God than speaking in tongues. You are eligible to experiencing these over-flows. Consider the mighty experiences of the men of faith, yet they didn't finish their divine proportion of grace. Refuse to end the journey with premature satisfaction like Noah. Lay aside every past experience that wants to hold you back from these encounters. Prepare your heart as you make a journey with the Lord 'behind the veil'. There is a plan of regulation and ordinances but the divine law states that if anyone is dissatisfied with the plan then they must go up.

The Anonymous Witness

The Anonymous Witness

By: Anonymous Christian

It was on an otherwise uneventful Sunday morning in early Spring when the minister of a small Methodist church in Appalachia provided a sermon based on the 23rd Psalm of the Holy Bible. He reminded his meager congregation that they should not fear the act of witnessing for Jesus Christ, even if it takes them into the proverbial Valley of Darkness. Little did the pastor realize that his routine sermon would result in the book that you now hold in your hands - a revolutionary approach not only to witnessing, but to modern day Christianity itself. As a curious reader, you will soon recognize why this manifesto was written anonymously and you may even come to the conclusion that you too can be considered an "Anonymous Witness.
