Where Hegel's narrative ends with the apotheosis of \"absolute knowing,\" Cutrofello begins with the collapse of this very standpoint. He then develops a continuation of the dialectical movements that lead from the rift between the certainty and truth of absolute knowing, through every major post-Hegelian philosophical position, to a point that represents an original reconception of the telos of dialectical phenomenology.  As the narrative progresses, it becomes clear that two general movements were necessary to supplement the Hegelian story:  a working out of gender-theoretic issues and the deconstruction of all truth claims. The result, which Cutrofello calls a \"Nietzschean Satyagraha,\" is an original epistemic and ethical starting point for a systematic philosophy of praxis. Analytic philosophers, continental philosophers, gender theorists, sociologists, and psychoanalytic theorists will all find the major theoretical positions of their disciplines presented and critiqued in this bold philosophical thought experiment.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49513863676177,"sku":"GOR013756260","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53213309174033,"sku":"NLS9780791425848","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0791425843.jpg?v=1751106908"},{"product_id":"all-for-nothing-book-andrew-cutrofello-9780262526340","title":"All for Nothing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHamlet as performed by philosophers, with supporting roles played by Kant, Nietzsche, and others.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA specter is haunting philosophy--the specter of Hamlet.

The philosopher's Hamlet is a conceptual character, played by philosophers rather than actors. He performs not in the theater but within the space of philosophical positions. In All for Nothing, Andrew Cutrofello critically examines the performance history of this unique role. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe philosopher's Hamlet personifies negativity. In Shakespeare's play, Hamlet's speech and action are characteristically negative; he is the melancholy Dane. Most would agree that he has nothing to be cheerful about. Philosophers have taken Hamlet to embody specific forms of negativity that first came into view in modernity. What the figure of the Sophist represented for Plato, Hamlet has represented for modern philosophers. Cutrofello analyzes five aspects of Hamlet's negativity: his melancholy, negative faith, nihilism, tarrying (which Cutrofello distinguishes from delaying), and nonexistence. Along the way, we meet Hamlet in the texts of Kant, Coleridge, Hegel, Marx, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Freud, Russell, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Benjamin, Arendt, Schmitt, Lacan, Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida, Badiou, Zizek, and other philosophers. Whirling across a kingdom of infinite space, the philosopher's Hamlet is nothing if not thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49529806094609,"sku":"GOR013640512","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51686757794065,"sku":"CIN0262526344G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262526344.jpg?v=1750843801"},{"product_id":"continental-philosophy-book-andrew-cutrofello-9780415242097","title":"Continental Philosophy","description":"Continental Philosophy: A Contemporary Introduction is ideal for students coming to the topic for the first time. It introduces the origins and development of the tradition, tracing it from Kant to the present day. Taking a clear thematic approach, Andrew Cutrofello introduces and assesses continental philosophy’s relation to fundamental questions in philosophy, such as ethics, humanism, phenomenology, politics and metaphysics, centring the book around the following questions:    What is knowledge?     What is moral obligation?     For what should we hope?     What is ‘man’?     What is critique?   Andrew Cutrofello’s style is lively and engaging. He also introduces the major as well as the lesser-known thinkers of the continental tradition: from Kant, Mill and Nietzsche and Husserl to Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre Levinas, Bataille and Kristeva.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50029916455185,"sku":"GOR013841431","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50886839730449,"sku":"NGR9780415242097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51002187612433,"sku":"NIN9780415242097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51134531076369,"sku":"GOR002648455","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52404028047633,"sku":"NLS9780415242097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415242096.jpg?v=1750910987"},{"product_id":"one-and-the-others-book-andrew-cutrofello-9780810149380","title":"The One and the Others","description":"An original account of Western metaphysics based on Plato’ s Parmenides     At the end of Plato's Parmenides, Parmenides concludes that 'whether' the One is or is not, it and 'the Others' both are and are not, and both appear and do not appear, all things in all ways. Throughout the history of philosophy various attempts have been made to make sense of Plato's puzzling dialectical exercise. In this ambitious book Andrew Cutrofello shows how Kant and Hegel extended it, how contemporary philosophers, including Graham Priest and Alain Badiou, have reinterpreted it, and how poets such as Dante, Shakespeare, Blake, Wordsworth, and Susan Howe have channeled it. What emerges is an original conception of the history of metaphysics as a series of antinomies, and of metaphysical poetry as a type of antinomianism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51770033176849,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51770033373457,"sku":"NGR9780810149380","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780810149380.jpg?v=1761389647"},{"product_id":"continental-philosophy-book-andrew-cutrofello-9780415242080","title":"Continental Philosophy","description":"Continental Philosophy: A Contemporary Introduction looks at the development of the tradition, tracing it back from Kant to the present day.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52406722167057,"sku":"NLS9780415242080","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415242080.jpg?v=1758770271"},{"product_id":"discipline-and-critique-book-andrew-cutrofello-9780791418567","title":"Discipline and Critique","description":"Andrew Cutrofello demonstrates that in light of Michel Foucault's genealogical criticisms of the juridical model of power, it is possible to develop a postjuridical model of Kantian critique. Recasting game theory's celebrated \"prisoner's dilemma\" in Foucauldian terms, Cutrofello illuminates the techniques of mutual betrayal that train bodies to reason themselves into complicity with forces of subjugation. He shows how a genealogically reformulated version of Kantian ethics can provide the basic parameters of a \"discipline of resistance\" to such forces, and he argues for a more nuanced assessment of the stakes involved in the demise of philosophy as a disciplinary formation. Along the way, Cutrofello presents fascinating readings of Kant's own \"care of the self\" ethic, drawing on the conceptual resources of Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Lacan, and Luce Irigaray. This tour-de-force will prompt social theorists to reconsider the way power functions in our modern\/postmodern world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53213280305425,"sku":"NLS9780791418567","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780791418567.jpg?v=1772754087"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-andrew-cutrofello.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
