Just as the disciplinary boundaries between religion, philosophy and culture have been increasingly blurred, so too are the intellectual, political and economic interests of the European and American context co-implicated. This series publishes original works by both contemporary European (in translation) and American intellectuals. While specializing in religion, philosophy and culture, these creative and cutting-edge theoretical works are also informed by interests in politics, law, ethics, aesthetics, social sciences, psychology, and technology. Books in this series include Remo Bodei, Logics of Delusion Paolo Crocchiolo, The Amorous Tinder William Egginton, A Wrinkle in History: Essays in Literature and Philosophy Emanuela Fornari, Modernity Out of Joint Manfred Frank, The Boundaries of Agreement Rodolphe Gasché, Views and Interviews: On ‘Deconstruction’ in America José Guimón, Art and Madness Duncan Kennedy, Legal Reasoning: Collected Essays Philip Larrey, Thinking Logically Antonio Livi, Reasons for Believing Giacomo Marramao, Kairós Giovanni Mari, The Postmodern, Democracy, History Ana Messuti, Time as Punishment Józef Niżnik, The Arbitrariness of Philosophy Andrés Ortiz-Osés, The Sense of the World (2008) Franca D’Agostini, The Last Fumes of the Evaporating Reality (2009) Luigi Pareyson, Existence, Interpretation, Freedom, Paolo Diego-Bubbio, Editor (2010) Jeffrey M.

Dario Antiseri, Popper's Vienna: World 3 of Vienna 1870–1930 shows how the roots of all Popper's epistemological and political work may be found in the culture of that ‘Great Vienna’ that existed between 1870 and 1930. It is a rigorous reconstruction of the ideas and debates of that 'Great Vienna’ — anti-induction; the idea of fallibility of a theory as a criterion of distinction between science and non-science; evolutionary epistemology; methodological individualism; anti- Platonism; critics of Hegel, Marx and knowledge sociology; historical materialism and dialectical materialism; and critics of Freud.

WELCOME

As an independent scholarly press our goals are to publish, and keep in print works by both emerging and established scholars who strive to make, or have already made, significant contributions in their respective fields. We publish both original works and previously published works that have not been readily available. The fields in which we publish are those normally associated with the humanities and social sciences, and our authors occupy academic positions at international institutions of higher education. We seek traditional monographs, shorter works, and creative non-fiction, edited collections, translations, and selected works that have been allowed to go out of print.

Recent noteworthy books

Eric Gan’s Science and Faith: The Anthropology of

Revelation opens the “Disciplines and Deferrals”

series for Noesis Press. It recapitulates,

focuses, and recontextualizes much of the

thinking done in Eric Gans’ two books that

introduced his “new way of thinking,”

Generative Anthropology — The Origin of

Language: A Formal Theory of Representation

(1981), and The End of Culture: Toward a

Generative Anthropology (1985). Contains a new

preface by the author and an extensive foreword by the series editor,

Adam Katz.

Daniel Addison’s The Critique’s Contradiction as the Key to Post-Kantianism combines “an incredible breadth of knowledge of both the Kantian corpus and post-Kantian philosophy from Kant to Hegel” with an intimate knowledge of the most recent Kant scholarship and offers a most precise and persuasive account of what is perhaps the most crucial issue separating Kant from his post-Kantian heirs: the question of the role of the given in empirical cognition.is a valuable addition to the new series for Noesis Press, New Studies in Idealism under the able leadership of Dr. Diego Bubbio. In this important volume of previously uncollected essays, Gregory L. Ulmer theorizes the shift from print-literacy to electracy. Ulmer challenges his readers to do for this mode what Plato and Aristotle did for literacy: to invent the rhetoric, workings and categorical order of electracy. In responding to this shift, Ulmer mines and rereads the history of the avant-garde arts as a liberal arts mode of research and experimentation, and, in that sense, one can read this volume as a set of instructions to try to compose, read, and think in the electracy mode.
