Max Pensky Stylesof Thought Interpretation,Inquiry,andImagination The Ends of Solidarity Discourse Theory in Ethics and Politics Jürgen Habermas’s discourse theory demands that human beings see themselves in relations of solidarity that cross national, racial, and religious divides. While his theory has won adherents across a spectrum of contemporary debates, the required vision of solidarity has remained largely unexplored. In The Ends of Solidarity, Max Pensky fills this void by examining Habermas’s theory of solidarity, while also providing a comprehensive introduction to the German philosopher’s work.

He takes on one of the major issues facing contemporary thought and culture. What are we to do with the idea that all life is simply interpretation? Weissman’s response restores the tradition of American pragmatism to its proper place. He argues that inquiry is not interpretation and that the workings of the world judge the truth of inquiries. He puts interpretation in its proper place in human culture…” — Joseph Grange, President, Metaphysical Society of America DAV I D W E I S S M AN e JANUArY • 189 pp $19.95 pb 978-0-7914-7262-0 cover 8/7/07 12:28 PM Page 1 e A VOLUME IN THE SUNY SERIES IN CONTEMPORARY CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY rETHINKING FACTICITY François Raffoul and Eric Sean Nelson, editors Examines the historical context and contemporary relevance of facticity. 485 7547 OVErCOMING MODErNITY Overcoming Modernity Synchronicity and Image-Thinking Edited by François Raffoul and Eric Sean Nelson www.sunypress.edu The concept of facticity has undergone crucial transformations over the last century in hermeneutics and phenomenology, but it has not yet received the attention that it warrants. Following a suggestion by Merleau-Ponty that philosophy is not about essences but rather the facticity of existence, prominent philosophers examine the significance of facticity in its historical context and reflect on its contemporary relevance. Focusing on the works of Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Lacan, and Fanon, among others, they trace its significance from lifephilosophy to contemporary European thought and explore its philosophical implications.

With an Introduction by Shigenori Nagatomo These last writings by Japanese philosopher Yuasa engage both Western and Eastern thought to reconsider modernity and offer an alternative, more holistic paradigm. e In Overcoming Modernity, which contains the last writings from Yuasa, the prominent Japanese scholar reconsiders the modern Western paradigm of thinking and in its place proposes a more holistic worldview.
