[...] I consider the possibility of psychic evil on the cosmic level in the discussion of an evil cosmic soul in the Laws. [...] metaphysical evil must be understood in opposition to metaphysical good.
Benso profiles the life and thought of Luigi Pareyson, whom he considers as the most important and original Italian hermeneutic philosopher. Among others, he highlights the fact that Pareyson's philosophy stands against perspectivism in which the truth is abandoned to a series of discrete positions read side by side, or deferrals that ultimately dissolve the very possibility of truth and being, and also the possibility of accounting for the radicality and scandalousness of evil.

Are today's horror movies really about young people living in the "anxious and uncertain era" of 9/11 and Iraq? That's the argument film critic Chris Kelly made in a recent essay, and if that's the case, Hostel is exhibit No. 1. If Wolf Creek centers on the horror of nature, Hostel, like all classic American horror movies, foregrounds the horror (and allure) of bodies. Full of both sex and gore, it aims right at those young males who are always the genre's main audience. Despite its exotic locale, its sex/violence axis recalls Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street more than anything post-9/11. If Psycho's the model for Western horror movies, Ringu casts its long shadow over Japanese horror, which wants to be more creepy than gory. In these environments we're living with a whole parallel...

There have been other treatments of this material, but this latest film has the benefit of the trial records that were recovered after the unification of the two Germanys. With this new information, filmmakers set their story in the last six days of the Scholls' lives. Since the outcome of the story is already known, the script by Fred Breinersdorfer is less interested in generating a plot than in placing [SOPHIE SCHOLL]-along with [Hans] and a third defendant, Christoph Probst-in a situation of moral crisis. The film becomes a solemn Easter week ritual-indeed, it resembles the passion of Christ in its swift procession from apprehension to interrogation to condemnation to martyrdom. The gold standard for such a presentation is Carl Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc, made in 19...

The middle period texts (which also include the Ages of the World fragments) have been the focus of a renewal of philosophical interest in Schelling in the English-speaking world since at least the publication of the English translation of Heidegger's lecture course on the Investigations in 1985.

Gioia was recognized during his term as head of the National Endowment for the Arts for his focus on reawakening interest in classic forms and figures, for the wave of renewed interest in Shakespeare in the schools his programs have brought about, for his workshops for war participants, and for many other programs that seek to revitalize interest in serious literature on a broad-based level. In his essay "Can Poetry Matter?" he argues for a number of techniques and devices that could help bring poetry back to the reading public, including a shift away from the professorial type of reading toward mixed evenings of poetry and music, poetry and art, poets reading others' work as well as their own, and a general opening wide of the narrow room he believed the art had stuffed itself into by...

Because the bodies that conjoin to form the body politic are no longer conceived primarily as the bodies of individuals who possess transcendent rights, but as what, following DeLanda, we might frame as intensive bodies capable of various phase transformations, they will be continuously capable of becoming something else, at times identifying and forming assemblages with their own bodies, at other times with the bodies of others, and at still other times with the bodies of their family, their clan, their community, their nation, or their planet.

According to the consensus established by the secondary literature, Foucault's early and middle work culminates in a kind of totalizing theoretical cage (of which "discipline" is the highest manifestation) that in turn constituted a kind of crisis or dead-end for Foucault's thinking by the mid1 970s __ Foucault's late work performs a 1 80-degree turn away from the (too- totalizing and demoralizing) "power" discourse of the early and mid1 970s and culminated in a renewed appreciation of the Enlightenment subject, the ethical arts of the self, and resistance to normalized totalization through individual action.3 What is especially notable about this thesis is that it cleaves Foucault's corpus in two, definitively separating the parts as having opposing interests and formulations. In work...
