Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Success in modern Western society has become an object of aspiration for many, who construct their self-worth-and in many respects their veryidentity-according to accepted criteria of success, primarily in the professionaland economic spheres. When the pursuit of success takes hold across all areasof life, many people find it difficult to live with failure or to acknowledge it.Where, then, did the race for success in the West begin Is it a phenomenonunique to our time This book examines the cultural value of success and itsorigins in Western society through the genealogical method. As a criticalmethodology, genealogical inquiry is driven by an interest in understandingcontemporary reality and subjecting it to critique through a reinterpretation ofthe past. Uncovering the past confronts us with contingency and diminishes thedominance of necessity in our lives. The central thesis advanced in this book isthat the concepts of 'success' and 'failure,' which function as foundationalcultural structures, are rooted at the very heart of Western culture. They aredeeply embedded in its origins and should not be understood as late products ofconsumer capitalist culture.Bina Nir identifies three components that played a central role in the formationof these structures within Western culture: the separation of humanity fromnature, Judeo-Christian judgment, and the Western conception of time. Even ifthese elements cannot be understood in terms of clear causal relations, they canbe identified and marked as part of the forces that led to the emergence of thecurrent condition. It is impossible to arrive at a definitive list of all the structuresand forces that shaped the overarching constructs under discussion. However, exposing three of them allows us to understand that the prevailing structures ofsuccess and failure did not have to take the form they did. In other words, whatoften appears inevitable is not a historical necessity.Dr. Bina Nir is a cultural scholar and lecturer at the Sammy Ofer School ofCommunications at Reichman University and in the Multidisciplinary StudiesDepartment at the Western Galilee Academic College. She is the author of TheFailure of Success [in Hebrew] (Resling, 2016) and Deconstructing Culturefrom Anxiety to Hope [in Hebrew] (Niv Books, 2025).…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The past few decades have seen considerable interest in the history of analytic philosophy. As this field has developed, complex and provocative questions have emerged about the very nature of analytic philosophy, challenging longstanding assumptions and spawning new research paradigms.In this outstanding collection, an international team of contributors examine these questions and contribute to these debates, exploring the idea of analysis, the essence and status of logic, the nature of the proposition and its linguistic expression, the logical act of judgment, the distinction between external and internal relations, the possibility of category mistakes, and the demarcation of sense from nonsense. Several of the chapters shed light on the interconnections between Wittgenstein and other figures within that tradition, including Frege, Russell, Ramsey, and Ryle. Other chapters examine the interaction between analytic philosophers and members of other philosophical traditions, including Frege and Weierstrass, Wittgenstein and Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein and Bradley, Russell and the North American Pragmatists, Russell and the Neo-Kantians, Wittgenstein and Heidegger, and Heidegger and Ryle. Among the specific topics explored are Russells conception of the judging subject, Wittgensteins discussion of rule-following, Freges conception of the logical categories, and Wittgensteins conception of nonsense.The volume also includes a book review by Gilbert Ryle collected and published non-anonymously here for the first time which sheds important light on the reception of Freges philosophy in the analytic tradition.Early Analytic Philosophy: Origins and Transformations will be of great interest to those studying and researching the history of twentieth-century philosophy, contemporary analytic philosophy, and the philosophy of language and logic.
