Free Download Vesa Hirvonen, "Passions in William Ockham’s Philosophical Psychology"
English | 2004 | pages: 218 | ISBN: 904816592X, 1402021186 | PDF | 6,5 mb
This study is not only the first extensive analysis of passions or emotions in William Ockham’s (c. 1285-1347) psychology, it also contains a detailed analysis of Ockham’s little-known two-souls anthropology. The study shows how Ockham diverged from the traditional opinion of emotions in arguing that there were emotions in the will, not only in the lower part of the soul. Because of his new theory of the intellect and the will, Ockham believed that certain phenomena of the will were subjective reactions to occurrent phenomena and could therefore be treated as emotions. The book also discusses Ockham’s approach to the traditional distinctions between amicable love and wanting love, and enjoyment and use, and to some other classical themes.

Free Download Passions of the Tongue: Language Devotion in Tamil India, 1891-1970 By Sumathi Ramaswamy
2012 | 303 Pages | ISBN: 8121508517 | PDF | 6 MB
Illustrations:12 B/w Illustrations Description:Why would love for their language lead several men in southern India to burn themselves alive in its name? Passions of the Tongue analyzes the discourses of love, labor, and life that transformed Tamil into an object of such passionate attachment, producing in the process one of modern India’s most intense movements for linguistic revival and separatism. Sumathi Ramaswamy suggests that these discourses cannot be contained within a singular metanarrative of linguistic nationalism and instead proposes a new analytic: language devotion. She uses this concept to track the many ways in which Tamil was imagined by its speakers and connects these multiple imaginings to their experience of colonial and post-colonial modernity. Focusing in particular on the transformation of the language into a goddess, mother, and maiden, Ramaswamy explores the pious, filial, and erotic aspects of Tamil devotion; she considers why, as its speakers sought political and social empowerment, metaphors of motherhood eventually came to dominate representations of the language. In vigorously arguing for a cultural history that reveals the structures of sentiments and the ideologies of love that emerge around a language, Passions of the Tongue allows us to understand how languages can inspire their speakers to devote themselves zealously to their cause.

Free Download Matthew Roberts, "Democratic passions: The politics of feeling in British popular radicalism, 1809-48"
English | ISBN: 1526137046 | 2022 | 272 pages | PDF | 25 MB
This book challenges the assumption – just as alive today as it was in the nineteenth century – that the political sphere was an arena of reason in which feelings had no part to play. It shows that feelings were a central, albeit contested, aspect of the political culture of the period. Radical leaders were accused of inflaming the passions; the state and its propertied supporters were charged with callousness; radicals grounded their claims to citizenship in the universalist assumption that workers had the same capacity for feeling as their social betters (denied at this time). It sheds new light on the relationship between protest movements and the state by showing how one of the central issues at stake in the conflict between radicals and their oppressors was the feelings of the propertied classes.
