  • - Poetry's Quarrel with Philosophy
    av James Kuzner
    324 - 1 157,-

    The Form of Love explores what poetry can articulate about love that philosophy cannot. Reading seven poems, this book shows how figures ranging from Donne to Dickinson use poetic form to transform philosophy's concern to convey truth about love into the concern to create a virtual experience of love.

  • - Skeptical Practice and the Politics of Weakness
    av Professor James Kuzner
    324 - 931,-

    Shakespeare is worth reading, this book argues, because his works help us to make epistemological weakness into a way of life. Kuzner shows how his works offer a means for coming to terms with basic uncertainties about freedom, the world's abundance, and the demands of love and social life.

  • - English Renaissance Republicans, Modern Selfhoods and the Virtue of Vulnerability
    av James Kuzner
    349,-

    Studies of the republican legacy have proliferated in recent years, always to argue for a polity that cultivates the virtues, protections, and entitlements which foster the self's ability to simulate an invulnerable existence. James Kuzner's original new study of writing by Spenser, Shakespeare, Marvell and Milton is the first to present a genealogy for the modern self in which its republican origins can be understood far more radically. In doing so, the study is also the first to draw radical and republican thought into sustained conversation, and to locate a republic for which vulnerability is, unexpectedly, as much what community has to offer as it is what community guards against. At a time when the drive to safeguard citizens has gathered enough momentum to justify almost any state action, Open Subjects questions whether vulnerability is the evil we so often believe it to be. Key features: * First study to explore how early modern republican and contemporary radical thought connect with and complement each other * Traces the presence of English republicanism from the late sixteenth century to the late seventeenth * Analyses Renaissance literary texts in the context of classical, early modern, and contemporary political thought to add to how we think about selfhood in the present * Offers illuminating new readings of the place that English Renaissance figures occupy in histories of friendship, the public sphere, and selfhood more generally
