Sommario/riassunto

In The Politics of Affective Relations, editors Daniel Bell and Hahm Chaihark refine our understanding of the East Asian conception of the self by examining how that conception was formulated, reproduced, and utilized throughout history.

This volume will provide readers with a broader perspective on and a deepe

Sommario/riassunto

Philip Kitcher is one of the leading figures in the philosophy of science today.

Kitcher's articles cover a broad range of t
