On Jean-Luc Nancy: The Sense of Philosophy (repost)

On Jean-Luc Nancy: The Sense of Philosophy (Warwick Studies in European Philosophy) by Darren Sheppard and Simon Sparks


English | 1997 | ISBN: 0415147948, 041514793X | 232 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB

This is the first book to consider the increasing importance of Jean-Luc Nancy"s work, which has influenced key thinkers such as Jacques Derrida. All his major works have been translated into English, yet until now little has been made available on his place in contemporary philosophy.




By showing how he situates his work in a contemporary context – the collapse of communism, the Gulf War, and the former Yugoslavia – this outstanding collection reveals how Nancy"s engagement with Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger and Derrida makes him one of the key contemporary continental philosophers.




Providing new perspectives on the issues of sense, art and community, these essays make it impossible to approach philosophy without reference to the work Jean-Luc Nancy.

Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning Toward Social Justice, Revised Edition

Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning Toward Social Justice, Revised Edition (Reconstructing the Public Sphere in Curriculum Studies) by Kevin K. Kumashiro


English | June 25, 2009 | ISBN: 0415802229, 0415802210 | 180 Pages | PDF | 1 MB

The phrase "teaching for social justice" is often used, but not always explained. What does it really mean to teach for social justice? What are the implications for anti-oppressive teaching across different areas of the curriculum? Drawing on his own experiences teaching diverse grades and subjects, Kevin Kumashiro examines various aspects of anti-oppressive teaching and learning in six different subject areas. Connecting practice to theory through new pedagogical elements, the revised edition of this bestselling text features:




A new and timely preface that considers the possibilities of anti-oppressive teaching and teaching for social justice in the face of increasing pressure from both the Right and the Left to accept neoliberal school reform policies.


End of chapter questions that enhance comprehension of arguments, help concretize abstract ideas into classroom practice, and encourage critique.


A sampling of print and online resources that will inspire students to further their social justice education


The new pedagogical components of the revised edition will offer K-12 teachers and teacher educators the tools they need to teach against their common sense assumptions and continue the evolution of social justice in education.

The Greek Sense of Theatre: Tragedy and Comedy, 3 edition

J Michael Walton, "The Greek Sense of Theatre: Tragedy and Comedy, 3 edition"


English | ISBN: 1138857319, 1138857335 | 2015 | 184 pages | PDF | 2 MB

In this updated and extended edition of The Greek Sense of Theatre, scholar and practitioner J.Michael Walton revises and expands his visual approach to the theatre of classical Athens. From the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides to the old and new comedies of Aristophanes and Menander, he argues that while Greek drama is seen now as a performance-based rather than a strictly literary medium, more attention should still be paid to the nature of stage image and masked acting as part of this conception.
