(P/B) MACHIAVELLI IN THE MAKING
Machiavelli in the Making is both a novel interpretation of the Florentines work and a critical document for understanding influential French scholar and public intellectual Claude Lefort's later writings on democracy and totalitarianism. Lefort extricates Machiavelli's thought from the dominant interpretations of him as the founder of objective political science, which, having liberated itself from the religious and moralizing tendencies of medieval political reflection, attempts to arrive at a realistic discourse on the operations of raw...

(H/B) HERACLITUS SEMINAR
In 1966-67 Martin Heidegger and Eugen Fink conducted an extraordinary seminar on the fragments of Heraclitus. Heraclitus Seminar records those conversations, documenting the imaginative and experimental character of the multiplicity of interpretations offered and providing an invaluable portrait of Heidegger involved in active discussion and explication. Heidegger's remarks in this seminar illuminate his interpretations not only of pre-Socratic philosophy, but also of figures such as Hegel and Holderllin. At the same time, Heidegger clarif...

(P/B) THE COGNITION OF THE LITERARY WORK OF ART
(...) "The Literary Work of Art" presents Ingarden's conception of the Literary work as a complex, stratified object depending for its existence on the intentional acts of author and receiver but not identical with these acts. It has its origin in the creative acts of consciousness on the part of the author, but it also has as its ontic basis a physical foundation (in the case of a literary work, printed letters on paper, as one possible means of transmission) which makes possible its continued existence after the conscious acts of the aut...

(P/B) HERMENEUTICS
This classic, first published in 1969, introduces to English-speaking readers a field which is of increasing importance in contemporary philosophy and theology--hermeneutics, the theory of understanding, or interpretation. Richard E. Palmer, utilizing largely untranslated sources, treats principally of the conception of hermeneutics enunciated by Heidegger and developed into a "philosophical hermeneutics" by Hans-Georg Gadamer. He provides a brief overview of the field by surveying some half-dozen alternate definitions of the term and by e...

(P/B) FROM TEXT TO ACTION
With his writings on phenomenology, psychoanalysis, Marxism, ideology, and religion, Paul Ricoeur has single-handedly redefined and revitalized the hermeneutic tradition. From Text to Action is an essential companion to the now classicThe Conflict of Interpretations. Here, Ricoeur continues and extends his project of constructing a general theory of interpretation, positioning his work in relation to its own philosophical background: Hegel, Husserl, Gadamer, and Weber. He also responds to contemporary figures like K.O. Apel and JU"rgen Hab...
