John McDowell: Mind and World; IndexCentral Works of Philosophy is a major multi-volume collection of essays on the core texts of the Western philosophical tradition. From Plato's Republic to the present day, the five volumes range over 2,500 years of philosophical writing covering the best, most representative, and most influential work of some of our greatest philosophers. Each essay has been specially commissioned and provides an overview of the work, clear and authoritative exposition of its central ideas, and an assessment of the work's importance. Together these books provide an unrivaled companion for studying and reading philosophy, one that introduces the reader to the masterpieces of the western philosophical canon. This volume covers the central texts in the history of analytic philosophy from Quine's Word and Object (1960) to the present day. The texts range over political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics and the philosophies of language, mind and logic and represent some of the most important philosophical work of the last forty years. Students and non-specialists who may find the technicality of some of the texts forbidding will welcome the clarity of exposition and exegesis that the essays provide. Taken together the essays provide both a map and compass for the current philosophical landscape and will prove a valuable resource not only for undergraduate and postgraduate philosophy students but for teachers and researchers in allied disciplines who need an understanding of the preoccupations of contemporary philosophy.Philosophy, Modern20th centuryElectronic books.Philosophy, Modern190Shand John404892FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910459072103321Central Works of Philosophy v51892476UNINA04431nam 2200673 450 991082472610332120230807221617.00-8032-8665-10-8032-8663-5(CKB)3710000000465748(EBL)3571068(SSID)ssj0001546397(PQKBManifestationID)16141122(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001546397(PQKBWorkID)14796164(PQKB)10294959(MiAaPQ)EBC3571068(OCoLC)918940897(MdBmJHUP)muse46585(Au-PeEL)EBL3571068(CaPaEBR)ebr11090868(CaONFJC)MIL823210(OCoLC)932326055(EXLCZ)99371000000046574820151122h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCaptivating Westerns the Middle East in the American West. /Susan KollinLincoln, Nebraska ;London, [England] :University of Nebraska Press,2015.©20151 online resource (294 p.)Postwestern HorizonsDescription based upon print version of record.0-8032-2699-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.""Cover ""; ""Title Page ""; ""Copyright Page ""; ""Contents ""; ""List of Illustrations""; ""Acknowledgments""; ""Introduction: Transnational Cowboys and the Middle East""; ""1.

In particular, the book examines how experiences of contact and conflict have played a role in defining the western United States as a crucial American landscape. Kollin interprets the popular Western as a powerful national narrative and presents the cowboy hero as a captivating figure who upholds traditional American notions of freedom and promise, not just in the region but across the globe. Captivating Westerns revisits popular uses of the Western plot and cowboy hero in understanding American global power in the post-9/11 period. Although various attempts to build a case for the war on terror have referenced this quintessential American region, genre, and hero, they have largely overlooked the ways in which these celebrated spaces, icons, and forms, rather than being uniquely American, are instead the result of numerous encounters with and influences from the Middle East. By tracing this history of contact, encounter, and borrowing, this study expands the scope of transnational studies of the cowboy and the Western and in so doing discloses the powerful and productive influence of the Middle East on the American West"--Provided by publisher.Postwestern horizons.American literatureWest (U.S.)History and criticismWest (U.S.)In literatureMiddle EastIn literatureWest (U.S.)In motion picturesMiddle EastIn motion picturesAmerican literatureHistory and criticism.810.9/3278LIT004020PER004030bisacshKollin Susan 1648354MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824726103321Captivating Westerns3996420UNINA
