The essays in this cross-cultural volume put Kyoto School thinkers in conversation with German Idealism, Nietzsche, phenomenology, and other figures and schools of the continental tradition such as Levinas and Irigaray. Set in the context of global philosophy, this volume offers critical, innovative, and productive dialogue between some of the most influential philosophical figures from East and West.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49931481121041,"sku":"CIN0253222540G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50264571314449,"sku":"GOR010590277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253222540.jpg?v=1763223073"},{"product_id":"heidegger-and-the-will-book-bret-w-davis-9780810120358","title":"Heidegger and the Will","description":"The problem of the will has long been viewed as central to Heidegger's later thought. In the first book to focus on this problem, Bret W. Davis clarifies key issues from the philosopher's later period - particularly his critique of the culmination of the history of metaphysics in the technological \"\"will to will\"\" and the possibility of Gelassenheit or \"\"releasement\"\" from this willful way of being in the world - but also shows that the question of will is at the very heart of Heidegger's thinking, a pivotal issue in his path from \"\"Being and Time\"\" (1926) to \"\"Time and Being\"\" (1962). Moreover, the book demonstrates why popular critical interpretations of Heidegger's relation to the will are untenable, how his so-called \"\"turn\"\" is not a simple \"\"turnaround\"\" from voluntarism to passivism. Davis explains why the later Heidegger's key notions of \"\"non-willing\"\" and \"\"Gelassenheit\"\" do not imply a mere abandonment of human action; rather, they are signposts in a search for an other way of being, a \"\"higher activity\"\" beyond the horizon of the will. While elucidating this search, his work also provides a critical look at the ambiguities, tensions, and inconsistencies of Heidegger's project, and does so in a way that allows us to follow the inner logic of the philosopher's struggles. As meticulous as it is bold, this comprehensive reinterpretation will change the way we think about Heidegger's politics and about the thrust of his philosophy as a whole.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50055292551441,"sku":"GOR011718515","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0810120356.jpg?v=1763222355"},{"product_id":"oxford-handbook-of-japanese-philosophy-book-bret-w-davis-9780197650585","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Japanese Philosophy","description":"Japanese philosophy is now a flourishing field with thriving societies, journals, and conferences dedicated to it around the world, made possible by an ever-increasing library of translations, books, and articles. The Oxford Handbook of Japanese Philosophy is a foundation-laying reference work that covers, in detail and depth, the entire span of this philosophical tradition, from ancient times to the present. It introduces and examines the most important topics, figures, schools, and texts from the history of philosophical thinking in premodern and modern Japan. Each chapter, written by a leading scholar in the field, clearly elucidates and critically engages with its topic in a manner that demonstrates its contemporary philosophical relevance.    The Handbook opens with an extensive introductory chapter that addresses the multifaceted question, \"What is Japanese Philosophy?\" The first fourteen chapters cover the premodern history of Japanese philosophy, with sections dedicated to Shinto and the Synthetic Nature of Japanese Philosophical Thought, Philosophies of Japanese Buddhism, and Philosophies of Japanese Confucianism and Bushido. Next, seventeen chapters are devoted to Modern Japanese Philosophies. After a chapter on the initial encounter with and appropriation of Western philosophy in the late nineteenth-century, this large section is divided into one subsection on the most well-known group of twentieth-century Japanese philosophers, The Kyoto School, and a second subsection on the no less significant array of Other Modern Japanese Philosophies. Rounding out the volume is a section on Pervasive Topics in Japanese Philosophical Thought, which covers areas such as philosophy of language, philosophy of nature, ethics, and aesthetics, spanning a range of schools and time periods. This volume will be an invaluable resource specifically to students and scholars of Japanese philosophy, as well as more generally to those interested in Asian and comparative philosophy and East Asian studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50481537483025,"sku":"NGR9780197650585","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999873011985,"sku":"NIN9780197650585","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51796815937809,"sku":"CIN0197650589G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0197650589.jpg?v=1750812590"},{"product_id":"martin-heidegger-book-bret-w-davis-9781844651986","title":"Martin Heidegger","description":"Heidegger's writings are among the most formidable in recent philosophy.
