You have done a magnificent study of Julian. The initial chapters are splendidly researched though I missed the Syon Abbey contribution. Then I loved your final chapters where the footnotes keep giving Julian’s text. I especially applaud your seeing the Carmelite aspect which I don’t think others have.

The Play of Goodness Creation, Phenomenology, and Culture


Free Download Jacob Benjamins, "The Play of Goodness: Creation, Phenomenology, and Culture "
English | ISBN: 1531508898 | 2024 | 208 pages | PDF | 7 MB
One of the enduring claims in the Christian tradition is that creation is good. Given the diversity of experience and the abundance of suffering in the world, however, such an affirmation is not always straightforward. The Play of Goodness provides a phenomenology of creation’s goodness that clarifies the ongoing relevance of the doctrine today. It argues that what is "good" about creation is not synonymous with a confession of faith and does not require an overly optimistic disposition, but instead appears within diverse and often surprising circumstances.

Phenomenology of Law and Normativity


Free Download Phenomenology of Law and Normativity by Panos Theodorou, Pedro Manuel Santos Alves, Anna Irene Baka
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 290 Pages | ISBN : 3031687043 | 7.6 MB
Against the widespread, mainstream take on the philosophy of law, this collected volume fills an important scholarly gap by introducing a phenomenological account of some of the major questions and themes of jurisprudence such as rights and norms. This volume argues that wherever there is a demand for grounding normativity, the phenomenological method can provide a priori-albeit corrigible-access to essential truths, with reference to beings and their social relationships. The present work reflects upon the place and potential impact on the theory of law and normativity stemming from the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl-largely overlooked by legal philosophers and legal theorists. Further coverage contains those who have built upon these ideas of Husserl such as Martin Heidegger, Alfred Schutz, Edith Stein, Emmanuel Levinas, and Adolf Reinach.

Phenomenology as Critique


Free Download Andreea Smaranda Aldea, "Phenomenology as Critique "
English | ISBN: 103201511X | 2022 | 292 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Drawing on classical Husserlian resources as well as existentialist and hermeneutical approaches, this book argues that critique is largely a question of method. It demonstrates that phenomenological discussions of acute social and political problems draw from a rich tradition of radically critical investigations in epistemology, social ontology, political theory, and ethics.

Plants in Place A Phenomenology of the Vegetal


Free Download Edward S. Casey, "Plants in Place: A Phenomenology of the Vegetal "
English | ISBN: 0231213441 | 2023 | 208 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Plants are commonly considered immobile, in contrast to humans and other animals. But vegetal existence involves many place-based forms of change: stems growing upward, roots spreading outward, fronds unfurling in response to sunlight, seeds traveling across wide distances, and other intricate relationships with the surrounding world. How do plants as sessile, growing, decaying, and metamorphosing beings shape the places they inhabit, and how are they shaped by them? How do human places interact with those of plants―in lived experience; in landscape painting; in cultivation and contemplation; in forests, fields, gardens, and cities?

Phenomenology as Qualitative Research A Critical Analysis of Meaning Attribution


Free Download John Paley, "Phenomenology as Qualitative Research: A Critical Analysis of Meaning Attribution "
English | ISBN: 1138652814 | 2016 | 198 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Phenomenology originated as a novel way of doing philosophy early in the twentieth century. In the writings of Husserl and Heidegger, regarded as its founders, it was a non-empirical kind of philosophical enquiry. Although this tradition has continued in a variety of forms, ‘phenomenology’ is now also used to denote an empirical form of qualitative research (PQR), especially in health, psychology and education. However, the methods adopted by researchers in these disciplines have never been subject to detailed critical analysis; nor have the methods advocated by methodological writers who are regularly cited in the research literature.

Free Download Phenomenology, Neuroscience and Clinical Practice: Transdisciplinary Experiences by Francesca Brencio
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 223 Pages | ISBN : 3031662636 | 5.2 MB
This book offers fundamental insights into three main fields of education and expertise: phenomenology, neuroscience, and clinical practice. The richness and pluralism of the contributions aim to overcome the reductionist and dualistic approach to mental health and shed new light on clinical practice. Designed as both an education tool for mental health professionals, and a theoretical investigation for philosophers on the use of phenomenology in clinical practice, this book highlights the need for a new direction on mental health, and more general, on human wellbeing. This volume aims to fill the gap between philosophers and mental health professionals on an educational level, in a space unique in its open and transdisciplinary approach. It appeals to students and researchers but also very much to professionals and clinicians in the field.
