This deceptively simple question is central to Marcel Proust's monumental novel ＜em＞In Search of Lost Time＜/em＞. Both Proust's narrator and the novel that houses him devote considerable energy to investigating not just what people are ＜em＞saying＜/em＞ or ＜em＞doing＜/em＞ when they talk, but also what happens socioculturally through their use of language. Proust, in other words, is interested in what linguistic anthropologists call language-in-use.＜br /＞ Michael Lucey elucidates Proust's approach to language-in-use in a number of ways: principally in relation to linguistic anthropology, but also in relation to speech act theory, and to Pierre Bourdieu's sociology.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞What is the state of philosophy today, and what might it be tomorrow? With ＜em＞What Philosophy Is For＜/em＞, Michael Hampe answers these questions by exploring the relationships among philosophy, education, science, and narrative, developing a Socratic critique of philosophical doctrines.＜br /＞ Philosophers generally develop systematic theories that lay out the basic structures of human experience, in order to teach the rest of humanity how to rightly understand our place in the world. This "scientific" approach to philosophy, Hampe argues, is too one-sided. In this magnum opus of an essay, Hampe aims to rescue philosophy from its current narrow claims of doctrine and to remind us what it is really forーto productively disillusion us into clearer thinking. Hampe takes us through twenty-five hundred years of intellectual history, starting with Socrates. That archetype of the philosophical teacher did not devel...

M. Forster, Isaac Asimov, Kim Stanley Robinson, and China Mi?ville might help us to envision an urban future that is viable and resilient. Imagining Urban Futures is a remarkable treatise on what is best and strongest in urban theory and practice today, as refracted and intensely imagined in science fiction. As the human population grows, we can envision an increasingly urban society. Shifting weather patterns, rising sea levels, reduced access to resources, and a host of other issues will radically impact urban environments, while technology holds out the dream of cities beyond Earth. Abbott delivers a compelling critical discussion of science ...
