Introduction: A phenomenological approach -- Face off: The allegorical image and aesthetics -- A phenomenological reduction: Allegory in the psychomachia -- Changing faces: Dante and Spenser -- The allegorical structure of phenomenology of spirit -- Reconsidering allegory and symbol: Benjamin and Goethe -- Allegory as metonymy: The figure without a face.

Sommario/riassunto

Taking a phenomenological approach to allegory, Structures of Appearing seeks to revise the history of aesthetics, identifying it as an ideology that has long subjugated art to philosophical criteria of judgment. Rather than being a mere signifying device, allegory is the structure by which something appears that cannot otherwise appear. It thus supports the appearance and necessary experience of philosophical ideas that are otherwise impossible to present or represent. Allegory is as central to philosophy as it is to literature. Following suggestions by Walter Benjamin, Machosky argues that a

Sommario/riassunto

Black New Jersey tells the rich and complex story of the African American community's remarkable accomplishments and the colossal obstacles they faced along the way. Drawing from rare archives, historian Graham Russell Gao Hodges brings to life the courageous black men and women who fought for their freedom and eventually built a sturdy and substantial middle class. He explores how the state's unique mix of religious, artistic, and cultural traditions have helped to produce such world-renowned figures as Paul Robeson, Cory Booker, and Queen Latifah, as well as a host of lesser-known but equally influential New Jersey natives.

Sommario/riassunto

This provocative book takes a critical look at what is increasingly viewed as the central political issue for Catholics-abortion. From pro-choice politicians being denied communion to Democrats being called ""the party of death,"" for some of the most vocal Catholic leaders, the abortion issue often trumps all others. The author, a practicing Catholic who is against abortion in principle, believes the Church is on the wrong course with this issue, with grievous results for the Church and American society more broadly. He gives a brief history of abortion legislation, then exp
