Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Color is a given of most people s everyday lives, but at the same time it lies at the limits of language and understanding. David Batchelor s previous book for Reaktion'Chromophobia'addressed the extremes of love and loathing that color has provoked since classical antiquity. In 'The Luminous and the Grey' Batchelor explores similar territory, but charts more ambiguous terrain.'The Luminous and the Grey' is a study of the places where color comes into being and where it fades away; an enquiry about when color begins and when it ends, both in the imagination and in the material world. Batchelor draws on a wide range of materialfrom neuroscience, philosophy, novels and movies; from the writings of artists and from his own experience as an artist who has worked with color for more than twenty years After considering the place of color in creation myths, in industrial chemistry, in recent thinking on optics and in the particular forms of luminosity that saturate the modern city, the book culminates in a meditation on the unique color that is also a non-color, a mood, a feeling, an existential condition, and even an insult: grey.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A Philosophy of Emptiness' offers an alternative view, a path without foundation or guarantor. Via a tour of early and non-Western philosophy, Watson uncovers a rich history of emptiness, taking us from Buddhism, Taoism, and religious mysticism to the contemporary world of philosophy, science, and art practice. Most Western philosophies explicitly or implicitly, are concerned with substance and foundation yet the 20th century has seen the resurgence of emptiness: Watson offers reasons why such an apparently unappealing concept might have attracted modern musicians, artists, and scientists, as well as pre-eminent thinkers throughout the ages.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Carl Gustav Jung (18751961), as well as being one of the pioneers of psychology, is one of the most controversial of thinkers: in spite of being largely responsible for the introduction of now-familiar psychological terms such as extrovert or introvert, Jung has often been sidelined, remaining on the fringes of academic discourse. In this new account Paul Bishop reclaims Jung as a major European thinker whose true significance, even now, is not fully appreciated. Taking into account the role of Jung s recently published 'Red Book' in the progression of his thought, 'Carl Jung' re-assesses this divisive personality, reading Jung in terms not only of his biography, but also in light of his extensive reading and output. Jung once remarked that the tragedies of Goethe s 'Faust' and Nietzsche s 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' [. . .] mark the first glimmerings of a breakthrough of total experience in our Western hemisphere. In this critical biography Bishop takes up this suggestion and engages with Jung s scholarship in order to offer one of the fullest appreciations yet of his distinctive approach to culture. He finds in Jung s attempt to synthesize all the different parts of human life an enterprise that marks him out as one of the most important theorists of the twentieth century. '.
