Totowa: Rowman and Littlefield, 1980 (1839-1914) US scientist, philosopher, and logician. One of the founders of pragmatism and semiology whose work has generally been neglected in both traditions. One of his key ideas is embodied in the maxim to ‘consider what effects, which might conceivably have practical bearings, we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then, our conception of these effects is the whole of our conception of the object’. Pragmatism for Peirce is not a theory of truth but a theory of meaning. His semiological writings introduce the idea of ‘indexical signs’, a reference to the fact that a token may have different meanings in different contexts, an insight that is basic to the ethnomethodological principle of the ‘indexicality’ of all language. Most of his work was published posthumously in eight volumes as The Peirce Papers: Collected Papers (1931-58).. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1966. The translator's intention has been to render Aristotle's thought precisely and scientifically, rather than in a popular sense. Of special value to students of Aristotle are the translator's extensive commentaries, which supply the missing elements from the meaning of the text, without offering interpretations, and thereby make a unique contribution toward a correct understanding of Aristotle's argument and thought.

Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997. A treatise on the nature of philosophical creation. Barthes examines the parallel impulses of Loyola, the Jesuit saint, Sade, the renowned and sometimes pornographic libertine philosopher, and Fourier, the utopian theorist. All three, he makes clear, have been founders of languages Loyola the language of divine address: Sade, the language of erotic freedom: and Fourier, the language of social perfection and happiness. Each language is an all-enveloping system, a "secondary language" that isolates the adherent from the conventional world. The object of this book, is not to decipher the content of these respective works, but to consider Sade, Fourier, and Loyola as creators of text.. First Thus. Paperback.

Los Angeles: Theosophical Publishing House, 1918 Information on the principle Sanskrit, Pahlavi, Tibetan, Pali, Chaldean, Persian, Scandinavian, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Kabalistic and Gnostic words, and Occult terms generally used in Theosophical literature (preface). A sensational medium in her Russian homeland, Blavatsky married in her 17th year a man very much her senior, Nicephore Blavatsky, a Russian official in Caucasia, from whom she was separated after a few months. During her next 20 years Blavatsky appears to have traveled widely in Canada, Texas, Mexico, and India, with 2 attempts on Tibet. In one of these she seems to have crossed the frontier alone in disguise, been lost in the desert, and, after many adventures, been conducted back by a party of horseman . In 1875 she conceived the plan of combining the spiritualistic control with the Buddhist legends about Tibetan sages (EB-11). She was the founder of the Theosophical Society in 1875 in New York.

Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995 Carron brings together a distinguished group of senior scholars who have found themselves at the centre of an ongoing debate about historical contextualisation and interpretive strategies. Throughout the book, the authors address certain recurring themes from a variety of critical points of view. The hermeneutic closure or opening of Rabelais"s text, crucial to most recent critical debate, is present throughout. Individual chapters explore such issues as the "design" and composition of the text, Rabelais as humanist, his antifeminism, his religious "position" as revealed by biblical or evangelical references, and particular aspects of low early-modern culture. A chapter on Rabelais and Erasmus draws essential differences between the two "giants of European humanism.". First Edition. Cloth. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information
