In the planetarium, where the audience is transported to distant galaxies, the wondrous complexity of the cosmos combines with entertainment to become a theater of the night.

Sources and Interpretation in Ancient Judaism : Studies for Tal Ilan at Sixty by Meron M. Piotrkowski, Geoffrey Herman English | 2018 | ISBN: 9004366415 | 409 Pages | True PDF | 6.38 MB  Sarah Horton, "Somatic Desire: Recovering Corporeality in Contemporary Thought" English | ISBN: 1498581447 | 2019 | 234 pages | PDF | 2 MB The essays in this volume all ask what it means for human beings to be embodied as desiring creatures-and perhaps still more piercingly, what it means for a philosopher to be embodied. In taking up this challenge via phenomenology, psychoanalysis, hermeneutics, and the philosophy of literature, the volume questions the orthodoxies not only of Western metaphysics but even of the phenomenological tradition itself. We miss much that has philosophical import when we exclude the somatic aspects of human life, and it is therefore the philosopher's duty now to rediscover the meaning inherent in desire, emotion, and passion-without letting the biases of any tradition determine in advance the meaning that reveals itself in embodied desire. Continental philosophers have already done much to challenge binary oppositions, and this volume sets out a new challenge: we must now also question the dichotomy between being at home and being alienated. Alterity is not simply something out there, separate from myself; rather, it penetrates me through and through, even in my corporeal experience. My body is both my own and other; I am other than myself and therefore other than my body. Additionally, this book is a conversation, not a presentation of a new orthodoxy. Thus, the hope is that these essays will open the way for further dialogue that will continue to radically rethink our understanding of embodied desire. Gathered together here are twelve essays that address these issues from deeply interrelated albeit unique perspectives from within the field.
