Logic and Life (On Kantian Teratology) --Notes --IndexLife is one of our most basic concepts, and yet when examined directly it proves remarkably contradictory and elusive, encompassing both the broadest and the most specific phenomena. We can see this uncertainty about life in our habit of approaching it as something at once scientific and mystical, in the return of vitalisms of all types, and in the pervasive politicization of life. In short, life seems everywhere at stake and yet is nowhere the same. In After Life, Eugene Thacker clears the ground for a new philosophy of life by recovering the twists and turns in its philosophical history. Beginning with Aristotle's originary formulation of a philosophy of life, Thacker examines the influence of Aristotle's ideas in medieval and early modern thought, leading him to the work of Immanuel Kant, who notes the inherently contradictory nature of "life in itself." Along the way, Thacker shows how early modern philosophy's engagement with the problem of life affects thinkers such as Gilles Deleuze, Georges Bataille, and Alain Badiou, as well as contemporary developments in the "speculative turn" in philosophy. At a time when life is categorized, measured, and exploited in a variety of ways, After Life invites us to delve deeper into the contours and contradictions of the age-old question, "what is life?"OntologyLifeElectronic books.Ontology.Life.113/.8Thacker Eugene523150MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459053303321After life2260007UNINA02432oam 2200613 450 991070762080332120170306110326.0(CKB)5470000002466333(OCoLC)960721519(EXLCZ)99547000000246633320161014d2016 ua 0engurbn||||a||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierH.R. 3459 Protecting Local Business Opportunity Act : hearing before the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions, Committee on Education and the Workforce, U.S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourteenth Congress, first session, hearing held in Washington, DC, September 29, 2015Washington :U.S. Government Publishing Office,2016.1 online resource (iii, 121 pages)Title from title screen (viewed on Oct. 14, 2016).Paper version available for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Publishing Office."Serial no. 114-28."Includes bibliographical references.H.R. 3459 Small businessLaw and legislationUnited StatesEmployers' liabilityUnited StatesContracting outGovernment policyUnited StatesFranchises (Retail trade)Law and legislationUnited StatesContracting outGovernment policyfastEmployers' liabilityfastFranchises (Retail trade)Law and legislationfastSmall businessLaw and legislationfastUnited StatesfastLegislative hearings.lcgftLegislative hearings.fastRules.fastSmall businessLaw and legislationEmployers' liabilityContracting outGovernment policyFranchises (Retail trade)Law and legislationContracting outGovernment policy.Employers' liability.Franchises (Retail trade)Law and legislation.Small businessLaw and legislation.GPOGPOGPOOCLCFCUTGPOBOOK9910707620803321H.R. 34593474008UNINA
