Feelings of Being
Phenomenology, Psychiatry and the Sense of Reality
By Matthew Ratcliffe
Review by Alice Gee on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
Feelings of Being by Matthew RatcliffeIn Feelings of Being, one of the most recent publications of the IPPP series, Matthew Ratcliffe provides a phenomenological argument for the existence of a distinct category of feelings: existential feelings, in relation to experience both in normal everyday life and in psychopathology.Existential feelings, he argues, are a distinct category of feeling which provide a backdrop to all other types of feeling and experience.  Previous authors, he argues, have overlooked the importance of existential feelings, both in (a) the maintenance a distinction between cognition and affect, demoting em

The Psychology of Science and the Origins of the Scientific Mind
By Gregory J. Feist
Review by Manuel Bremer, Ph.D. on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
The Psychology of Science and the Origins of the Scientific Mind by Gregory J. FeistThe Psychology of Science and the Origins of the Scientific Mind aims at nothing less than launching a new field of scientific inquiry: the psychology of science. Gregory Feist having received his PhD himself as one of first specializing in this area has founded also a journal and an international society for the psychology of science.The psychology of science may accompany the history of science and the sociology of science as a new meta-science. In distinction to these and the broader philosophy of science the psychology of science is a meta-science which uses the empirical methods of psycho

The Philosophy of Elizabeth Anscombe
By Roger Teichmann
Review by Valérie Aucouturier, Ph.D. on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
The Philosophy of Elizabeth Anscombe by Roger TeichmannElizabeth Anscombe (1919-2001) may be seen as one of the greatest British philosophers of the twentieth century. Her views on mind, action and ethics have been and still are broadly debated, especially in ethics and among contemporary theorists of action. Unfortunately her conceptions are also frequently misunderstood, misused or misapplied.For that reason, Roger Teichmann's book is a welcome contribution to academia. Indeed, to my knowledge, previous to Teichmann's work there had not been any texts on the philosophy of Anscombe; no monograph to provide an overview of what this 'gr

Altruism
By Niall Scott and Jonathan Seglow
Review by Andrew Lambert on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
Altruism by Niall Scott and Jonathan SeglowNiall Scott's and Jonathan Seglow's Altruism is the latest addition to the Open University Press survey series Concepts in the Social Sciences, and describes itself as, 'the first introduction to the idea of altruism'.  This small, brief book (136 pages, excluding bibliography and notes) draws on several different disciplines to clarify what altruism is and how it functions in personal and public life.  Altruism is already familiar in everyday life and, unlike terms such as 'postmodernism', needs little explanation to be intelligible. It can be understood as a

The Abstinence Teacher
A Novel
By Tom Perrotta
Review by Christian Perring on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
The Abstinence Teacher by Tom PerrottaRuth Ramsay is a high school sex ed teacher in a suburb somewhere in the USA.  Even though she has been teaching this sensitive subject for over 10 years, or maybe because of this, she gets into trouble for presenting too positive a view of oral sex to a class of ninth graders.  Local conservative Christians protest, and the school quickly caves in to their demands that Ruth should teach abstinence.  Ruth is outraged.  Yet the local fundamentalist church, The Tabernacle of the Gospel Truth, has attracted many followers in recent years, and its followers seem to follow locks

Nothing
Something to Believe In
By Nica Lalli
Review by Tom Grimwood on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
Nothing by Nica LalliSince Nietzsche wrote of the death of God, the question of valuing 'value' itself has been a central concern of western thinking. In many ways, the current ethical debate -- certainly in the 'continental' arena of philosophy -- is fixated on this problem of the foundation of value, or, rather, how one values without foundation, as witnessed in the discussions and debates between the likes of Jean-Luc Nancy, Alain Badiou, and Jacques Ranciere. At the same time, the political rhetoric following 9/11 continues to demonstrate that God and State are far from detached. But their prec

Through Deaf Eyes
A Photographic History of an American Community
By Douglas C Baynton, Jack R. Gannon and Jean Lindquist Bergey
Review by Christian Perring on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
Through Deaf Eyes by Douglas C Baynton, Jack R. Gannon and Jean Lindquist BergeyThis book is a companion volume to Through Deaf Eyes, the PBS documentary on deaf history and the rise of the deaf community.  It is a little over 150 pages long and is full of historical photographs, illustrating the history of deaf people in America and Europe.  It starts at the beginning of the nineteenth century with the first attempts to create schools for deaf people.  It moves onto the creation of communities of deaf people, and the role of sign language in creating those communities.  The book finishes with some of the more recent debates over deafness as a disabili

Perfect in Ten: Pilates
10-minute Workouts DVD
By Annette Fletcher
Review by Beth Cholette, Ph.D. on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
Perfect in Ten: Pilates by Annette FletcherPerfect in Ten is a series of DVD releases, each of which provide five 10-minute workouts.  In Perfect in Ten Pilates, certified Pilates instructor Annette Fletcher offers five short Pilates practices which both focus on different parts of the body as well as promote general flexibility.  Given the short time frame for each workout, Fletcher moves quickly through the exercises, wasting little time on setting up the moves.  Therefore, I would not recommend this DVD for those new to Pilates; in fact, the middle three programs are quite challenging and thus more suited to those wit

Supreme Courtship
By Christopher Buckley
Review by Christian Perring on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
Supreme Courtship by Christopher BuckleyAnother political comedy from Buckley (author of Boomsday, Thank You for Smoking, and many others), Supreme Courtship is satisfying so long as you are not expecting too much.  The premise is a promising one: what would happen if a popular TV judge were put on the Supreme Court?  There's plenty of scene setting to create a situation that makes it at least conceivable that she would want the position, the President would think it a good idea, and the Senate would approve it.  Acerbic and sexy TV Judge Pepper Cartwright is getting tired of her TV producer husband Buddy Bixby wh

Every Pot Has a Cover
A Proven System for Finding, Keeping and Enhancing the Ideal Relationship
By Michael J. Salamon
Review by Sandra L. Ceren, Ph.D. on Tue, Dec 30th 2008.
Every Pot Has a Cover by Michael J. SalamonIn Every Pot Has A Cover, psychologist, Salamon provides useful tools for people interested in finding an appropriate mate.  He believes wholeheartedly that they must first understand themselves and others before choosing a mate.  According to Salamon and other experts in the field, the attraction between people is often due to unconscious reasons which may sometimes be positive.  He presents an impressive study of personality based on the history of personality measurement, genetics, attributes, attitudes, and general health.  He also relies on the widely accepted Diagnost

Real Materialism
and Other Essays
By Galen Strawson
Review by William A Cameron, Ph.D. on Tue, Dec 23rd 2008.
Real Materialism by Galen StrawsonGalen Strawson's writing covers a broad canvas of metaphysics and philosophy of mind and none is dull or uncontroversial. Although the topics of these nineteen essays range across many metaphysical issues, the title essay introduces his central thesis of Real Materialism. This is itself contentious and is an introduction to his currently famous thesis that real materialism, with realistic monism, entails panpsychism. Strawson claims to be a physicalist but his is not the conventional physicalism that is concerned with those items, processes, concepts and hypotheses that are considered by p

Life and Action
Elementary Structures of Practice and Practical Thought
By Michael Thompson
Review by Lauren Tillinghast, Ph.D. on Tue, Dec 23rd 2008.
Life and Action by Michael ThompsonLife and Action is a work of serious and sustained conceptual analysis. It is a work of philosophy in the tradition of Aristotle, Frege and Anscombe, three philosophers who play a particularly important role in Thompson's own thinking. Taken as a whole, Life and Action is uncommonly rich philosophical fare. It is an invigorating and challenging read. Thomspon's arguments are clear and cogent, but are so densely packed and so detailed that it is easy to lose one's bearings. However, unlike many works of densely written, closely argued professional academic philosophy, this one has t
