Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the second volume in the series of American University Publi cations in Philosophy. It, like the first volume, moves significantly beyond what other books have done before it. The first volume's original ity lay in its bringing together essay…s that explored important new directions in the explanation of behavior, language, and religion. The originality of the present volume lies in its collecting, for the first time in book form, essays at the interface between analytic philosophy and phenomenology. In this volume there are essays about a number of the most seminally influential philosophers among both the analysts and the phenomenologists. Barry L. Blose, for the editors of American University Publications in Philosophy EDITOR'S PREFACE Philosophy inevitably creates divisions and this anthology deals with what is perhaps the central division in twentieth century Western philo sophy. The collection, originally the foundation for a seminar in com parative philosophy which I offered at The American University in 1971 and 1974, was sufficiently suggestive to students of both traditions to lead me to initiate its publication. The future development of Western philosophy is far from clear, but I am convinced that it will inevitably involve a more open conversation between phenomenologists and analytic philosophers, between the current dominant orientations among both European and Anglo-Saxon philosophers. This volume of essays is offered as an attempt to stimulate that conversation.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - It has been a constant intention of the series of AMERICAN UNIVERSITY PUBLICATIONS IN PHILOSOPHY to present to the philosophical reader books which probed the frontiers of contemporary philosophy. That intention remains true of the following volume,…which offers an international dialogue regarding the phenomenological program and succeeding movements. Early in this Series we tried, as well, to initiate philosophical discussion across serious boundaries and barriers which have characterized contemporary reflection. That theme also continued in the original essays presented herein. With the publication of this fifth volume in the Series we have crossed something of a minor milestone in our endeavor, and are appreciative of the kind welcome with which we have been received by the readers. We wish to thank sincerely the contributors to this volume for their helpful and willing cooperation. We also wish to thank Ms. Irmgard Scherer for her translation of Professor Apel's paper, as well as Professor Apel himself for reviewing this translation. We are also pleased to thank the Office of the Dean of the College Of Arts And Sciences and especially Dean Betty T. Bennett, for a grant for typing, as well as Ms. Mary H. Wason for her fine typing skills and her kind cooperation.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The American University Publications In From its inception Philosophy has continued the direction stated in the sub-title of the initial volume that of probing new directions in philosophy. As the series has developed these probings of new directions… have taken the two fold direction of exploring the relationships between the disparate traditions of twentieth century philosophy and with developing new insights into the foundations of some enduring philosophic problems. This present volume continues both of these directions. The interaction between twentieth-century Anglo-Saxon and Continental philosophy which was an implicit theme of our first and third volumes and the explicit subject of our second volume is here continued in a series of studies on major figures and topics in each tradition. In the context of these interpretative studies, Professor Durfee returns again and again to the question of the relationships between the will and the reason, and explores the conflicting goals of creativity and objectivity in formulating a philosophic position. In so doing he raises the issue as his title suggests - of the foundations of philosophy itself. He seriously challenges the belief common to both pheomenology and analytic philosophy that philosophizing can be a presuppositionless activity, objectively persued independent of the personal (and, perhaps, arbitrary) commitments of the philosopher. This issue, critical as it is to all forms of philosophy, is surely a worthy one for a series such as ours.

Sixty artists worked on the lithographs.References: Brunet II, 920."ouvrage splendide et d'un grand intérêt"; OCLC Number / Unique Identifier: 1110334971.Dunbarton Oaks:Like his family before him, Alexandre Du Sommerard (1779-1842) had a career in public service, first in the military, then in the civil service, then in the court itself. Passion for his native country of France was even more manifest in his art collecting and studies, which is where he directed most of his energies.The first items he acquired were paintings by contemporary French painters, but, after 1825, he devoted himself to art from the Middle Ages to the seventeenth century, with particular attention to arts with French connections. In his actions and his collector's tastes, Sommerard was likely influenced by Alexandre Lenoir (1761-1839), who rescued medieval treasures and monuments from destruction during the French Revolution and who later set up the Musée des Monuments Français.By 1832, Sommerard had accumulated such a large collection that he purchased the late fifteenth-century Hôtel des Abbés de Cluny to house it. In each room of the building, he arranged furniture, objects, and textiles according to their function or symbolic value in an attempt to replicate the interior spaces of the past.In 1838, Alexandre Du Sommerard published the first volumes of a multivolume work, Les Arts du moyen-âge, which he intended as a history of French medieval art. His collection and study included early Christian and Byzantine art as the precursors to western medieval art. He felt that history should not rely solely on written sources and that historians and the public needed to comprehend the history of art as well.The illustrated atlas and album were issued serially, 10 installments in all and each with a beautiful, unique title page. Inside each installment were large illustrations of medieval buildings and objects. In the Avertissement, Sommerard brags that the publication used lithography, the most advanced technique in book illustration available at the time, in order to create accurate reproductions. At this point, chromolithography was still in development, and most lithographic illustrations were black-and-white, so it seems likely that the rich colors in Sommerard's publication were added manually.Upon his death in 1842, his collection and the building were bequeathed to the state. In 1844, Lenoir's son, Alexandre-Albert Lenoir (1801-1891), oversaw the movement of his father's collection to Roman baths that are immediately adjacent to the Hôtel de Cluny. The combined collections became the Musée de Cluny (now the Musée National du Moyen Âge). Edmond du Sommerard (d. 1855) was appointed the museum's first curator and was responsible for the acquisition of the museum's famous lady-and-unicorn tapestries. Since then, some items have been deaccessioned and moved to other museums, but the existing museum still reflects the ideas and tastes of Sommerard and Lenoir.Alexandre Du Sommerard a mobilisé près de soixante artistes pour créer les cinq cents planches d'illustrations lithographiques des Arts au Moyen Âge.Dès ses débuts, Alexandre a montré un intérêt marqué pour cette technique, l'ayant déja? utilisée pour Les Vues de Provins. Cet intérêt s'explique par la facilité d'exécution offerte par la lithographie, qui n'exige pas des artistes l'apprentissage d'une technique de gravure particulière. Cette simplification d'exécution permet non seulement de réduire le temps nécessaire a? la réalisation d'une estampe, mais aussi d'acquérir rapidement une renommée grâce a? la diffusion quasi immédiate de ces images. Cette avancée technologique explique pourquoi la lithographie est devenue rapidement une alternative intéressante, tant sur le plan financier que commercial, par rapport à d'autres procédés.PROVENANCE; Bookplate of M.C.D. Borden in each volume. Matthew Chaloner Durfee Borden was born on July 18, 1842 in Fall River, Mass., the son of Col. Richard and Abby W. (Durfee) Bordon. He was educated at Phillips Academy in Andover, and graduated from Yale University in 1864. At Yale he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Skull and Bones. Later that year he entered one of New York's leading dry goods house as a stock boy. In 1865, he married his relative, Harriet M. Durfee, and they had seven children.Borden came to New York after graduation, working as a clerk in a dry goods jobbing house. Three years later he became a partner in a commission firm and represented the American Print Cloth Works of Fall River. This concern failed in 1879, but Mr. Borden reorganized it in 1880 as the American Printing Company. In 1869, Borden decided to manufacture his own cotton rather than buying it from others to supply his printing mills. He built three mills to begin with, and ultimately the Falls River Iron Works Mills was a thriving business. He was a compassionate man regarding his employees, raising wages in times of depression, and his mills were not struck by the labor unions when his relatives' mills were.Borden also kept a home in New York City at 25 West 56th Street, where he had many financial interests, being a director of the Manhattan Company Bank, the Lincoln N.
