Intersecting Philosophical Planes: Philosophical Essays

Bert Olivier

4.9/5 (13887 ratings)

Description:The philosophical essays collected here are predicated on the conviction that we live in a time when all-encompassing philosophical systems can no longer be seriously entertained as a true reflection of extant reality. Instead, an indefinite number of perspectives on - or discursive appropriations of - what is thought of as reality are possible. Sometimes they diverge and sometimes they intersect in surprising ways, as these essays show. While the belief in an all-inclusive philosophical system is rejected, the author shows that every perspective displays a coherence and illuminating power of its own. The collection is divided into two parts. The first considers philosophy, the individual and society, covering themes including the deleterious effects of capitalism on natural ecosystems, the modern conception of immortality in Nietzsche s thought, Lacan s provocative interpretation of capitalist discourse, the current status of the humanities in universities, individual autonomy, the meaning of identification, global terrorism, and Plato s philosophical self-subversion. The second part gathers together perspectives on the arts and society, with the author arguing that reflections on cinema, architecture and music never isolate these arts from social concerns, but demonstrate their interconnectedness.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
