Book Synopsis Serving the Word by : Vincent Crapanzano
Download or read book Serving the Word written by Vincent Crapanzano. This book was released on 2001-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Serving the Word is an exciting and unprecedented look at literalism as a modern belief system, and analyzes its place in two seemingly contrasting fields; Christianity and law. In a work that moves from welathy Angelenos embracing starkly literal readings of the bible to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia insisting on the narrowest interpretation of legal texts. Makes a persuasive claim that the attraction to literal certainty that we associate with fringe fanaticism is in fact deeply embedded in American culture". -- Jacket.

Book Synopsis Michael Fried and Philosophy by : Mathew Abbott
Download or read book Michael Fried and Philosophy written by Mathew Abbott. This book was released on 2018-01-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings philosophers, art historians, intellectual historians, and literary scholars together to argue for the philosophical significance of Michael Fried’s art history and criticism. It demonstrates that Fried’s work on modernism, artistic intention, the ontology of art, theatricality, and anti-theatricality can throw new light on problems in and beyond philosophical aesthetics. Featuring an essay by Fried and articles from world-leading scholars, this collection engages with philosophical themes from Fried’s texts, and clarifies the relevance to his work of philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Stanley Cavell, Morris Weitz, Elizabeth Anscombe, Arthur Danto, George Dickie, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, G. W. F. Hegel, Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Denis Diderot, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Roland Barthes, Jacques Rancière, and Søren Kierkegaard. As it makes a case for the importance of Fried for philosophy, this volume contributes to current debates in analytic and continental aesthetics, philosophy of action, philosophy of history, political philosophy, modernism studies, literary studies, and art theory.
