Beistegui argues that Lacan's work requires an in-depth genealogy to chart and interpret the his key concept of desire. The genealogy is both a historical and critical approach, inspired by Foucault, which consists in asking how – that is, by what theoretical and practical transformations, by the emergence of which discourses of truth, which institutions, and which power relati...(展开全部)

这部著作是对现代思想之根源的揭示。标题中的“Ethics”一词并非指道德意义上的伦理，而是要按照亚里士多德的ta ethe的意义来理解，ta ethe指的是人在世界中行动的特定习惯，因此，所谓“几何学的伦理”指的就是传授和学习几何学的习惯方式和风格。本书探究了欧几里得 《原本》与笛卡尔《几何》在“做几何的习惯方式”上的根本差异，打破了传统数学史把古今一切几何作图都视为“构造”的神话，清楚地揭示出“构造”的观念与古典思想格格不入，作为一项筹划的“构造”是现代性的缔造者们的新发明，它在笛卡尔几何学中起源，在康德的三大批判中瓜熟蒂落，成为从康德到尼采乃至后现代主义的整个现代思想的关键特征。本书原计划有一部续作，题为《构造的主权》（The Sovereignty of Construction），旨在考察笛卡尔几何学的遗产在霍布斯、莱布尼兹和康德手中的进一步...(展开全部)

A study of American pragmatism, this book looks at all the different stages from the Emersonian roots, through the dilemma of the mid-century pragmatic intellectual up to the decline and resurgence of American pragmatism. It also discusses prophetic pragmatism.

Taking Emerson as his starting point, Cornel West's basic task in this ambitious enterprise is to chart the emergence, development, decline, and recent resurgence of American pragmatism. John Dewey is the central figure in West's pantheon of pragmatists, but he treats as well such varied mid-century representatives of the tradition as Sidney Hook, C. Wright Mills, W. E. B. Du B...(展开全部)
