My 1980s and Other Essays
|
|
Distinguished Professor William Koestenbaum's (English) essay collection opens with a series of manifestos—or rather, a series of impassioned disclosures, intellectual and personal—and then proceeds to wrestle with a series of major cultural figures, the author's own lodestars and lodestones: literary (John Ashbery, Roberto Bolaño, James Schuyler), artistic (Diane Arbus, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol), and simply iconic (Brigitte Bardot, Cary Grant, Lana Turner). |

The Routledge Guidebook to Plato's Republic
|
|
Newly revised under the Routledge Guides to the Great Books series, Professor Nickolas Pappas's (Philosophy) volume introduces the major themes in Plato's great book, including his ideas on the nature of justice, order, and the character of the just individual. This companion for reading the work examines the context of Plato's work and the background to his writing; each separate part of the text in relation to its goals, meanings, and impact; the reception the book received when first seen by the world; and the relevance of Plato's work to modern philosophy. |
