Solar Calendar, and Other Ways of Marking Time
At the end of his life, Pierre Hadot was a professor at the Collège de France — a “professor’s professor” — and he helped Michel Foucault, most famously, conceptualize ethics. Hadot devoted his career to recovering the ancient conception of philosophy, according to which the discourses of universities are but a fragment of what philosophy is. His engagement with this theme helped Ben…

Staying Alive : a Survival Manual For The Liberal Arts
Staying Alive: A Survival Manual for the Liberal Arts fiercely defends the liberal arts in and from an age of neoliberal capital and techno-corporatization run amok, arguing that the public university’s purpose is not vocational training, but rather the cultivation of what Fradenburg calls “artfulness,” including the art of making knowledge. In addition to sustained critical and creative …

The Social Turn in Moral Psychology
"In this book, Mark Fedyk offers a novel analysis of the relationship between moral psychology and allied fields in the social sciences.

Why More Is Different Philosophical Issues in Condensed Matter Physics and C…
The physics of condensed matter, in contrast to quantum physics or cosmology, is not traditionally associated with deep philosophical questions. However, as science - largely thanks to more powerful computers - becomes capable of analysing and modelling ever more complex many-body systems, basic questions of philosophical relevance arise. Questions about the emergence of structure, the nature o…

The book is motivated by particular features of Aristotle's thought and by increasing philosophical a…
