Free Download Jessica Wahman, "Narrative Naturalism: An Alternative Framework for Philosophy of Mind"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 073918797X | PDF | pages: 209 | 4.4 mb
Narrative Naturalism: An Alternative Framework for Philosophy of Mind provides an original framework for a non-reductive approach to mind and philosophical psychology. Jessica Wahman challenges the reductive (i.e., mechanistic and physicalist) assumptions that render the mind-body problem intractable, and claims that George Santayana’s naturalism provides a more beneficial epistemological method and ontological framework for thinking about the place of consciousness in the natural world. She uses Santayana’s thought as the primary inspiration for her own specific viewpoint, one that draws on a variety of sources, from analytic philosophy of mind to existentialism and psychoanalysis. This outlook, narrative naturalism, depicts sense-making as a kind of storytelling where different narratives serve different purposes, and Wahman offer a unique worldview to accommodate a variety of true expressions about the world, including truths about subjective existence. Motivated by a desire to challenge the reductionist approaches that explain human motivation and experience in terms of neuroscience and by the increasingly pharmacological interpretations of and solutions to psychological problems, Wahman’s overarching purpose is to reconstruct the issue so that neuroscience can be embraced as an indispensable story among others in our understanding of the human condition. When placed in this context, neurobiological discoveries better serve the values and practices associated with human self-knowledge and well-being. Narrative Naturalism will appeal to those interested in American philosophy, Santayana scholarship, pragmatist epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophical psychology, and metaphysics.

Free Download Wilson Alves-Bezerra, "A Narrative Biography of Horacio Quiroga, the Lone Anarchist"
English | ISBN: 1527551784 | 2023 | 308 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book is a unique and definitive biography in English of the Uruguayan-Argentinian short story writer Horacio Quiroga (1878-1937), known as the Latin-American Poe. Written in amusing prose and with an academic background, which can be an important reference for the public in general as well as to Latin American literature researchers all over the world, it is an up-to-date, narrative biography by a Brazilian writer and researcher who has dedicated the last twenty years to Quiroga’s translation and research. The research uses several unknown or lesser-known documents as well as newspapers and magazines from the beginning of the 20th century, found in libraries and archives in Argentina, Brazil, Germany, and Uruguay. The book is written against a contemporary background, and focusses on the humanization of Quiroga and the participation of, until now, maginalized women in his personal and public life, such as Alfonsina Storni and Norah Lange, allowing the construction of an image which is less monumental and more complex in its contradictions.

Free Download Rodney Stenning Edgecombe, "A Reader’s Guide to the Narrative and Lyric Poetry of Thomas Lovell Beddoes"
English | ISBN: 1443882569 | 2015 | 499 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Beddoes poses a peculiar problem for critics and scholars who wish to redress the marginal position that he occupies in the Romantic canon a problem seemingly unique to him, and created in part by his misconception of his own strengths as a writer. An extremely good poet who, had things turned out differently, might have functioned as a missing link between Keats and Tennyson, he fatally divided his attention between verse and medicine, a discipline that by his own admission (made in the poem composed for Zoë King) served to wither his creative gift. This fission of energy was bad enough, but more damaging still was his misconception of metier, for whatever mental resources remained to Beddoes after gruelling days in the classroom he invested in writing an unstageable drama instead of in his primary gift for lyric verse. Whereas the Beddoes revival that has been gathering momentum in recent years has centred on Death’s Jest-Book, the play onto which the poet directed some might say misdirected so much of his creative energy, this study focuses wholly on his lyric and narrative verse, much of which has received short critical shrift. It follows the sequence of poems set out in the Donner edition, and focuses on their verbal richness and inventiveness as they unspool upon the page.

Free Download Marija Krivokapic, "Narrative Being Vs. Narrating Being"
English | ISBN: 1443880930 | 2015 | 270 pages | PDF | 1133 KB
This edited volume focuses on Anglo-American modernist fiction, offering challenging perspectives that consider modernism in the instances in which it transcends itself, moving, broadly speaking, towards postmodernist self-irony. As such, the contributions here discuss issues such as being in creation; narrativizing being and creation; the relation between being and narrative; the situation of being in narrative time and space; the relation between authority and narrative; possible authority over narrative and the authority of narrative; interaction between narrative and the other; the authority of the other over and within the narrative; and the inter-referentiality of text and author. Divided into two parts, Towards High Modernism and After Modernism , the book allows the reader to chronologically follow how authors relations to literature in general evolved with the changing world and new perspectives on the nature of reality. This book offers an insightful contribution to the on-going discussion on the ambiguities inherent in the concepts of author, narrative, and being, and will stimulate intellectual confrontation and circulation of ideas within the field.
