Book Series
Critical Studies in German Idealism

Series Editor: Paul Cobben, Tilburg University
For more information please visit brill.nl/csgi ISSN 1878-9986
The series publishes volumes on the tradition of German Idealism in the broad sense. It is not only oriented to critical studies on
the works of authors who belong to this tradition, but also to the later influence of these works. This means that the series pays
attention both to the history of the reception of German Idealism, and to studies that provide in the systematic development of
central themes that are formulated by this tradition.
The Aporia of Inner Sense

The Self-Knowledge of Reason and the Critique of Metaphysics in Kant
Garth W. Green
This work - the first full-length account of its theme in English - identifies Kant’s doctrine of
inner sense as a central, and problematic, element within the ‘architectonic of pure reason’ of
the first Critique. Its exegesis exposes two, variant construals of the character and capacities
of inner sense: the first, ‘positive’ construal functions in Kant’s account of the nature of
knowledge in the Transcendental Analytic, while the second, ‘negative’ construal functions

Institutions of Education: then and today

The Legacy of German Idealism
Edited by Paul Cobben
The theme of “Institutions of Education: then and today” not only corresponds with the
basic questions raised in German Idealism, but is also central to the question of whether it is
legitimate to study German Idealism in our era. Elaborating on this project immediately raises
the problem of institutional differentiation, which characterizes multicultural society. Does
the variety of educational institutions not, by definition, exclude the shared conception and

God - Beyond Me
From the I’s Absolute Ground in Hölderlin and Schelling
to a Contemporary Model of a Personal God
Cia van Woezik
German idealism has attempted to think an absolute ground to self-conscious I-hood. As a result
it has been theologically disqualified as pantheistic or even atheistic since many maintain
that such a ground cannot be reconciled with a personal God. In the early writings of Friedrich
Schelling (1775-1854), it is clear that he and his contemporaries were aware of this difficulty.

Paper Tiger
A Visual History of the Thylacine
Carol Freeman
Images of animals generate perceptions that have a profound effect on attitudes toward species.
Can representations contribute to their extinction? Paper Tiger considers the role of illustrations
in the demise of the thylacine or Tasmanian ‘tiger’. It critiques 80 engravings, lithographs,
drawings and photographs published between 1808 and 1936, paying attention to the messages
they convey and their impact on the lives of animals. This approach challenges conventional

Philosophy
Speaking of Animals consists of a linked series of thirteen essays about subjects ranging from
deciding to castrate a dog, evaluating recent dog memoirs, observing animals in Spain, reading
about the training of big cats, watching Animal Planet, and being unable to kill a racoon in
Texas. So often personal, even while analyzing novels such as Water for Elephants or movies
such as Giant or Into the Wild, the essays offer both an implicit critique and a continuation of

Animal Encounters
Edited by Tom Tyler and Manuela Rossini
The fast-growing field of Animal Studies is a varied and much contested domain. Engagement
with animals has encouraged both collaboration and conflict between researchers within the
arts, humanities, and social sciences. Animal Encounters comprises a series of meetings not only
between diverse beasts, but also between distinct disciplinary methods, theoretical approaches,
and ethical positions. The essays here collected come together from literary and cultural
studies, sociology and anthropology, ecocriticism and art history, philosophy and feminism,
science and technology studies, history and posthumanism, to study that most familiar and

Artists and Intellectuals and the Requests of Power

Edited by Ivo de Gennaro and Hans-Christian Günther
A much discussed question in classical studies is the comparison between the situation of
poets in Augustan Rome and that of artists and intellectuals in the totalitarian regimes of
the twentieth century. As instructive as this question proves to be for an understanding
of the relation between the freedom of art and thinking on the one hand and power on the
other, it also reveals the insufficiency of our present grasp of this crucial articulation of our
humanity. This volume offers a multidisciplinary and comparative approach to the problem,
complementing the historical perspective with a regard on Eastern traditions. It thus explores
tentative paths for future research on an issue of critical importance for the shaping of the

Wittgenstein’s (misunderstood) religious thought

Earl Stanley B. Fronda
Wittgenstein’s religious thought is not well understood. And Wittgensteinian philosophy of

religion is charged with fideism, religious non-realism, and even crypto-atheism. These charges,
however, are borne of misunderstandings that are a result of the critics’ being oblivious of
apophatic theology. This book is intended to help clear some of those misunderstandings
and neutralize the above-mentioned charges. It argues that Wittgenstein’s religious thought
shares kinship with the thought of apophaticists in Christendom such as the Pseudo-Dionysius
and St. Thomas Aquinas. What appear to be fideism, non-realism, or crypto-atheism to the

Notions of Nationhood in Bengal

Perspectives on Samaj, c. 1867-1905

This book reopens the debate on colonial nationalisms, going beyond ‘derivative’, ‘borrowed’,
political and modernist paradigms. It introduces the conceptual category of samaj to
demonstrate how indigenous socio-cultural origins in Bengal interacted with late-colonial
discourses to produce the notion of a nation. Samaj (a historical society and an idea-in-practice)

The Idea of Creativity
BRILL catalog 2010

Edited by Michael Krausz, Denis Dutton and Karen Bardsley
Seventeen philosophers, scientists and artists consider questions about the intriguing idea
of creativity: Is creativity essentially mysterious? Is creativity essentially inspirational or
rationalistic? What role does skill play in creativity? What are the criteria of creativity? Should
we assign logical priority to creative persons, creative processes, or creative products? How do
forms of creativity relate to different domains of human activity? How does creativity relate
to self-transformation? How does our knowledge of the circumstances of creativity effect our
appreciation of its products? Can a recipient of a creative work also be a creator of it?

Christianity has been described as “a religion seeking a metaphysic”. Drawing on the philosophy
of C. S. Peirce, Robinson develops a metaphysical framework centred around a ‘semiotic model’
of the Trinity. The model invites a fresh approach to the claim that Jesus was the incarnate Word
of God and suggests a new way of understanding how nature may bear the imprint of the Triune
Creator in the form of ‘vestiges of the Trinity in creation’. Scientific spin-offs include a new
perspective on the problem of the origin of life and a novel hypothesis about the evolution of

human distinctiveness. The result is an original contribution to Trinitarian theology and a bold
new way of integrating philosophy, science and religion.
Philosophy, Science and Divine Action

One of the most important and controversial themes in the contemporary dialogue among
scientists and Christian theologians is the issue of “divine action” in the world. This volume
brings together contributions from leading scholars on this topic, which emerged out of the
Scientific Perspectives on Divine Action project, co-sponsored by the Vatican Observatory and
the Center for Theology and Natural Science. This multi-year collaboration involved over 50
authors meeting at five international conferences. The essays collected here demonstrate the
pervasive role of philosophy in this dialogue.

Recherches sur l’esthétique de la phénoménologie matérielle
• Studies in Contemporary Edited by Adnen Jdey and Rolf Kühn
Phenomenology, 4
What is the status of art and aesthetic affectivity in Michel Henry ? Is the place occupied by art
within the economy of his material phenomenology the most appropriate site for the immanent
exploration of appearing and the auscultation of the transcendental affectivity of life ? This
book provides a systematic inquiry into some remarkable points that make it necessary to
prepare the ground for an Henryan aesthetics and make it sufficiently urgent to pay attention
to it. In order to clear this path and to take the first rigorous steps in the direction it leads to,
each one of the studies collected here, in its own unique way, examines the status of art in
Michel Henry. The work hopes to open entirely new perspectives for the understanding of a
phenomenological thinking of art whose radicality and fecundity is not yet fully appreciated.
Quel est le statut de l’art et de l’affectivité esthétique chez Michel Henry ? Le champ occupé
par l’art dans l’économie de sa phénoménologie matérielle est-il le lieu le plus propre pour
l’exploration immanente de l’apparaître et l’auscultation de l’affectivité transcendantale de la
vie ? Ce livre offre en effet un repérage systématique de quelques points remarquables à partir
desquels le besoin de poser les jalons d’une esthétique henryenne se fait suffisamment pressant
pour qu’on y prête attention. C’est pour frayer cette voie et faire rigoureusement les premiers
pas dans la direction qu’elle infléchit, que les études ici réunies engagent, chacune à sa manière,
l’examen du statut de l’art chez Michel Henry. L’ouvrage espère ouvrir par là des perspectives
tout à fait neuves quant à la compréhension d’une pensée phénoménologique de l’art dont on ne
mesure sans doute pas encore pleinement la radicalité et la fécondité.

The Locus of Tragedy

Edited by Arthur Cools, Thomas Crombez, Rosa Slegers and Johan Taels

Ask for the tragic and Europe will answer. Leaving behind the philosophers’ enthusiasm of
the nineteenth century, ‘tragedy’ and ‘the tragic’ now seem little more than vague containers.
However, it appears that we still discover a tragic essence in our personal lives. Time and
again tragedy is being registered, written down and staged. This book wants to open a
contemporary philosophical perspective on the tragic. What is the locus of tragedy? Does it
relate to metaphysics, the gods, destiny, and chance? Or is it a matter of ethics, of the Law and its

narrowly on topics such as Neoplatonic studies, on Philo of Alexandria, and on the impact these writings had in the ancient and
medieval worlds. Key, too, will be how the volumes look at the influence of earlier writings upon later ones: for example, the
significance of Euclid’s Geometry for the medieval commentator al-Nayrizi (d. ca. 922 C.E.) or how the writings attributed to Moses
of the Hebrew Bible were reinterpreted to suit the purposes of Jewish historian/philosopher Philo of Alexandria.

translation of Aristotle or Avicenna; it offers some unexpected and un-Aristotelian views on

Traditions of Maimonideanism

The goal of the present volume is to shed light on a number of traditions of Maimonideanism
that have hitherto little been explored. Maimonides (1138 – 1204) was the most important
medieval Jewish philosopher and also made lasting contributions to many other fields. The
essays in the first part examine aspects of his work in medicine, Jewish law, and liturgy. The

In Islam, philosophy, theology and science have interacted intimately almost from the beginning and played an important part
in the intellectual history of Islam. For the historian of science and for the student of philosophy, the rich literature of Islamic
philosophy, theology and science has preserved much unique material from antiquity. This series provides an outlet for the results

Relational Syllogisms and the History of Arabic Logic,

Khaled El-Rouayheb, Harvard University
Relational inferences are a well-known problem for Aristotelian logic. This book charts the
development of thinking about this anomaly, from the beginnings of the Arabic logical tradition
in the tenth century to the end of the nineteenth. Based in large part on hitherto unstudied
manuscripts and rare books, the study shows that the problem of relational inferences was
vigorously debated in the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In the course of the

Following al-Fārābī’s approach, Ibn Sīnā (d. 428/1037) undertakes a new foundation of the First
Philosophy based on his own critical systematisation of the Aristotelian theory of science,
yielding the result that metaphysics is only possible as a transcendental science, i.e. that not

The seventh S.V. Keeling Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy
Edited by Robert W. Sharples
Ancient Greek philosophy has been criticised, for example by the late Bernard Williams, for
emphasising the universal at the expense of the particular. Six leading scholars consider what
the Greeks themselves, from Plato to the period of the Roman Empire, had to say on this issue
in the contexts of ethics, psychology, metaphysics and cosmology. Ancient views are compared
with modern ones, and the influence of the former on the latter is considered.

New Perspectives on Aristotle’s De caelo

Edited by Alan C. Bowen and Christian Wildberg
This volume is the first collection of scholarly articles in any modern language devoted to
Aristotle’s De caelo. It grew out of series of workshops held at Princeton, Cambridge, and Paris
in the late 1990’s. Since Aristotle’s De caelo had a major influence on cosmological thinking
until the time of Galileo and Kepler and helped to shape the way in which Western civilization
imagined its natural environment and place at the center of the universe, familiarity with the
main doctrines of the De caelo is a prerequisite for an understanding of much of the thought and
culture of antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Much of the previous scholarship on Etty Hillesum (1914-1943) was done by individual scholars
within the analyses of their fields. After the proceedings of the international Etty Hillesum
Congress at Ghent University in November 2008, this Congress Volume is the first joined effort
by more than twenty Hillesum experts worldwide. It is an absorbing account of international
scholarship on the life, works and vision of the Dutch Jewish writer Etty Hillesum, whose life
was shaped by the totalitarian Nazi-regime. Hillesum’s diaries and letters illustrate her heroic
struggle to come to terms with her personal life in the context of World War II. Building on new
interest in theology, philosophy, and psychology this book revives Hillesum research with a
comprehensive rereading of both her published works and lesser-known secondary discourses
on her life. The result is fascinating. With the current explosion of interest in inter-religious
dialogue, peace studies, Judaism, the holocaust, gender studies and mysticism, it is clear that
this Congress Volume will be invaluable to students and scholars in various disciplines.

how much explanatory power in pragmatics rests in its
interdisciplinary and semiotics-based variations, as opposed to
self-contained methodologies with precisely delineated scope
of application. Thus, in the long run, the aim of IRP will be to
maintain a vigorous debate leading to crystallization of the core
concept of pragmatics, and to evaluation of its descriptive and
interpretive capacity.

existential, hermeneutic, and narrative strands and is not meant
to convey the thought of any one individual. Articles advance
the discipline of psychology by applying phenomenology to
enhance the field’s philosophical foundations, critical reflection,
theoretical development, research methodologies, empirical
research, and applications in such areas as clinical, educational,
and organizational psychology. Over its four decades, the Journal
of Phenomenological Psychology has consistently demonstrated
the relevance of phenomenology for psychology in areas
involving qualitative research methods, the entire range of
psychological subject matters, and theoretical approaches
such as the psychoanalytic, cognitive, biological, behavioral,
humanistic, and psychometric. The overall aim is to further
the psychological understanding of the human person in
relation to self, world, others, and time. Because the potential
of Continental phenomenology for enhancing psychology is
vast and the field is still developing, innovative and creative
applications or phenomenological approaches to psychological
problems are especially welcome.

animals, the politics of animal welfare, and the constitution

stimulate and support the emerging multi-disciplinary field

of the ways in which non-human animals figure in our lives.
Although emphasizing empirically based studies, the journal
also publishes theoretical analyses, literature reviews,
methodological contributions, and comments on relevant topics.

Animals is unique in the breadth of subjects covered, methods
of papers published, and diversity of scholarly disciplines
represented. It is also unique in its encouragement of data based
discussion of ethical and policy issues in the current debate
over the place of non-human animals in an increasingly human-
centered world. Thomson Scientific’s Journal Citations Report for
2008 ranks Society & Animals with an Impact Factor of 0.293.
