In the thought of Emerson, Hegel, and Schelling, Sallis discerns the seeds of an understanding of nature that goes against the modern technological assault on natural things and opens a space for a revitalized approach to the world. He identifies two fundamental reorientations that philosophical thought is called on to address today: the turn to the elemental in nature and the turn from nature to the cosmos at large. He traces the elusive course of the imagination, as if coming from nowhere, and describes the way in which it bears on the relation of humans to nature. Sallis's account demonstrates that a renewal of our understanding of nature is one of the prime imperatives we demand from philosophy today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49573658329361,"sku":"GOR013562032","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000563138833,"sku":"NIN9780253023131","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253023130.jpg?v=1763480896"},{"product_id":"stone-book-john-sallis-9780253208880","title":"Stone","description":"Takes up the various guises and settings in which stone appears.

It is a genuinely original work' - Dennis Schmidt.What is it that an artist paints in a painting? Working from paintings themselves rather than from philosophical theories, John Sallis shows how, through shades and limits, the painter renders visible the light that confers visibility on things. In his extended examination of three phases in the development of modern painting, Sallis focuses on the work of Claude Monet, Wassily Kandinsky, and Mimmo Paladino - three painters who, each in his own way, carry painting to the limit.Discussing Monet's series of paintings of wheat stacks, Sallis shows how Monet paints the very shining of the sensible as well as the elemental time of this shining. Taking account of Kandinsky's theoretical texts as well as his monumental Compositions, Sallis reveals how at the threshold of abstraction, Kandinsky paints subjectivity itself as the scene of all appearing, as the theatre of light. Finally, Sallis considers the nomadic work of Paladino, focusing on its crossings between painting and sculpture and on the way Palladino's recondite images are situated at the limit of discourse in a way that withdraws from the order or meaning and languages while restoring the order of vision and of shining. \"Studies in Continental Thought\" - John Sallis, general editor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49630175854865,"sku":"GOR008092740","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253334241.jpg?v=1751005242"},{"product_id":"on-translation-book-john-sallis-9780253215536","title":"On Translation","description":"\"Everyone complains about what is lost in translations. This is the first account I have seen of the potentially positive impact of translation, that it represents... a genuinely new contribution.\" —Drew A. Hyland  In his original philosophical exploration of translation, John Sallis shows that translating is much more than a matter of transposing one language into another. At the very heart of language, translation is operative throughout human thought and experience. Sallis approaches translation from four directions: from the dream of nontranslation, or universal translatability; through a scene of translation staged by Shakespeare, in which the entire range of senses of translation is played out; through the question of the force of words; and from the representation of untranslatability in painting and music. Drawing on Jakobson, Gadamer, Benjamin, and Derrida, Sallis shows how the classical concept of translation has undergone mutation and deconstruction.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49648953983249,"sku":"GOR013641343","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50022176784657,"sku":"GOR009259690","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253215536.jpg?v=1752315180"},{"product_id":"light-traces-book-john-sallis-9780253012821","title":"Light Traces","description":"What is the effect of light as it measures the seasons?

With insightful interpretations of key texts, John Sallis demonstrates the enduring power of post-Kantian thought—especially with respect to freedom, the relation of subject to object, and the role of the imagination. He shows that what underlies the development of German Idealism is a concern with the question of system and the nature of philosophy itself.  The book begins with a treatment of Kant's philosophy and its new beginning. It then discusses the initial reception of Kant's philosophy, showing how criticisms of Kant set the stage for the subsequent development of German Idealism. The central chapters focus on Fichte, first introducing his central philosophical project (the Wissenschaftslehre) and then carefully analyzing its implementation in the 1794 Grundlage. The final chapters treat Schelling's early and middle philosophy, including the 1800 System of Transcendental Idealism and his famous 1809 treatise on freedom.  Beyond its insights into the thought of German Idealism, the book is distinctive for the clarity of Sallis's exposition, his attention to the implications for philosophy today, and the sense of wonder he evokes in his readers. Because of these features, the book will be of interest to general readers as well as specialists in German philosophy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50464071811345,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50464072171793,"sku":"NGR9780253069719","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52617422471441,"sku":"NLS9780253069719","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253069718.jpg?v=1763224515"},{"product_id":"phenomenology-and-the-return-to-beginnings-book-john-sallis-9780391003125","title":"Phenomenology and the Return to Beginnings","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50466418589969,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50466419966225,"sku":"CIN0391003127G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0391003127.jpg?v=1751325304"},{"product_id":"heidegger-s-ontological-project-book-john-sallis-9780253070593","title":"Heidegger's Ontological Project","description":"This long-awaited volume of The Collected Writings of John Sallis presents his lectures on Martin Heidegger's monumental Being and Time.

Sallis focuses on certain operations of \"spacing\" in metaphysics—textual lapses and leaps in which reason is displaced or suspended or abridged. In the project of establishing priority of reason, such operations can appear only in disguise, and Sallis reveals the play of imagination and metaphor that masks them. Concentrating on what has been called the closure of metaphysics, he examines texts in which the suppression of spacing would be carried out most rigorously, texts in which even metaphysics itself is seen as only an errant roaming, a spacing that must still be secured, to be replaced by a pure space of truth. And yet, in these very texts Sallis identifies outbreaks of spacing that would disrupt the tranquil space of reason. Rather than closure, he finds an opening of reason to imagination.   Sallis's reading of a metaphorical system in the Critique of Pure Reason reveals a fissuring and historicizing of what would otherwise be called pure reason. Next he traces in Fichte's major work as well as in several lesser-known texts a decentering from reason to imagination, which he characterizes as a power of hovering between opposites and beyond being. Sallis then returns to the Critique of Pure Reason to expose, in relation to the famous question of the common root of reason and sensibility, a certain eccentricity of reason. Proceeding to the Critique of Judgment, he traces a divergence of sublime nature away from that supersensible space of reason to which Kant would otherwise assimilate it—a withdrawal toward an abyss. Finally, Sallis turns to Hegel's Encyclopedia, supplementing his reading with previously unknown notes from Hegel's lectures on those sections dealing with imagination; his reading of those sections serves to expose, within the most rigorous reduction of spacing in the history of metaphysics, an irrepressible and disseminative play of imagination.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50577846993169,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50577848271121,"sku":"CIN0226734412G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53336306843921,"sku":"NGR9780226734415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226734412.jpg?v=1750694118"},{"product_id":"figure-of-nature-book-john-sallis-9780253023124","title":"The Figure of Nature","description":"Broaching an understanding of nature in Platonic thought, John Sallis goes beyond modern conceptions and provides a strategy to have recourse to the profound sense of nature operative in ancient Greek philosophy.

Although, in contrast to the Analytic, the Dialectic seldom refers explicitly to imagination, Sallis shows that the concept of reason in the Dialectic requires the complicity of imagination. Sallis demonstrates that for Kant, reason alone does not suffice for bringing before our minds the metaphysical ideas of the soul, the world, and God; rather it is through the force of imagination that these ideas are brought forth and made effective.

With insightful interpretations of key texts, John Sallis demonstrates the enduring power of post-Kantian thought—especially with respect to freedom, the relation of subject to object, and the role of the imagination. He shows that what underlies the development of German Idealism is a concern with the question of system and the nature of philosophy itself.  The book begins with a treatment of Kant's philosophy and its new beginning. It then discusses the initial reception of Kant's philosophy, showing how criticisms of Kant set the stage for the subsequent development of German Idealism. The central chapters focus on Fichte, first introducing his central philosophical project (the Wissenschaftslehre) and then carefully analyzing its implementation in the 1794 Grundlage. The final chapters treat Schelling's early and middle philosophy, including the 1800 System of Transcendental Idealism and his famous 1809 treatise on freedom.  Beyond its insights into the thought of German Idealism, the book is distinctive for the clarity of Sallis's exposition, his attention to the implications for philosophy today, and the sense of wonder he evokes in his readers.

While drawing critically on the entire history of philosophy, Sallis's work takes up a vantage point determined by the contemporary deconstruction of the classical opposition between sensible and intelligible. Thus, in reinterrogating the nature of imagination, this work carries out a radical turn to the sensible and to the elemental in nature. Advancing through rigorous phenomenological and hermeneutical analyses, the author also draws on the poetic word of such figures as Shakespeare, Holderlin, and Keats; thereby he offers an original and fundamental approach to the questions of the image, of time, of self and other, and of the nature of art. Above all, imagination, now liberated from subjectivity, is shown to play a decisive role both in drawing together the moments of our experience of sensible things and in opening experience to the encompassing light, atmosphere, earth, and sky.The English edition of this work was published by Indiana University Press. German description: John Sallis untersucht den Kerngedanken der Einbildungskraft und zeigt, dass deren Kraft auf alle Bereiche des menschlichen Lebens Einfluss hat. Aus dem Blickwinkel der gegenwartigen Dekonstuktion des klassischen Gegensatzes zwischen der intelligiblen und der sinnlichen Wirklichkeit setzt er sich kritisch mit der gesamten Geschichte der Philosophie auseinander. Dadurch, dass er das Wesen der Einbildungskraft hinterfragt, wendet sich seine Untersuchung dem Sinnlichen und dem Elementaren in der Natur zu. Er greift auf die Methoden der radikalisierten Phanomenologie und der Hermeneutik zuruck, um ein ganz neues Konzept der Einbildungskraft zu erarbeiten. So wird deutlich, dass die Einbildungskraft eine zentrale Rolle fur das Verstandnis des Wesens von Zeit, Eigenen und Fremden sowie der Kunst spielt. Dies wird an Werken von Shakespeare, Keats und Holderlin veranschaulicht. Der Autor zeigt, dass die Einbildungskraft, sobald sie von jeglicher Subjektivitat befreit ist, die Momente unserer Wahrnehmung sinnlicher Dinge zusammenbringt und gleichzeitig die Wahrnehmung fur Licht, Atmosphare, Erde und Himmel offnet.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52667932049681,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52667932901649,"sku":"NLS9783161491276","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783161491276.jpg?v=1762283767"},{"product_id":"philosophical-vision-of-paul-klee-book-john-sallis-9789004280212","title":"The Philosophical Vision of Paul Klee","description":"Exploring the relation between Paul Klee's philosophical thought and art, this book deals both with the impact of Klee's art on recent philosophy and with the relation between Klee's own theoretical writings and his art.

Moving simultaneously at several different hermeneutical levels, Sallis carries out an interpretation of the Transcendental Dialectic of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Although, in contrast to the Analytic, the Dialectic seldom refers explicitly to imagination, Sallis shows that the concept of reason in the Dialectic requires the complicity of imagination. Sallis demonstrates that for Kant, reason alone does not suffice for bringing before our minds the metaphysical ideas of the soul, the world, and God; rather it is through the force of imagination that these ideas are brought forth and made effective. A new preface situates the book in relation to Sallis's later work, and an extensive afterword focuses on Kant and the Greeks.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53213422453009,"sku":"NLS9780791464533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780791464533.jpg?v=1772754772"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-john-sallis.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
