Renewable Energy Transformation or Fossil Fuel Backlash
Renewable energy is rising within an energy system dominated by powerful vested energy interests in fossil fuels, nuclear and electric utilities. Analyzing renewables in six very different countries, the author argues that it is the extent to which states have controlled these vested interests that determines the success or failure of renewables.

Maurice Merleau-Ponty : Between phenomenology and structuralism
This is a study of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's social thought, its often troubled relations with Edmund Husserl's phenomenological philo-sophy, and its equally ambivalent stance toward those approaches in the human sciences which take Ferdinand de Saussure's struc-tural linguistics as their point of departure. It seeks to do justice to one of the more complex and elusive figures in contemporary phi…

Aesthetics and the Embodied Mind: Beyond Art Theory and the Cartesian Mind-Bo…
The project of naturalizing human consciousness/experience has made great technical strides (e.g., in mapping areas of brain activity), but has been hampered in many cases by its uncritical reliance on a dualistic “Cartesian” paradigm (though as some of the authors in the collection point out, assumptions drawn from Plato and from Kant also play a role). The present volume proposes a versio…
