Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza by Gilles Deleuze (English) Paperback Book

Description: Expressionism in Philosophy by Gilles Deleuze, Martin Joughin Expressionism in Philosophy is both a pivotal reading of Spinozas work and also a crucial text within the development of Deleuzes own thought. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Expressionism in Philosophy" is both a pivotal reading of Spinozas work and also a crucial text within the development of Deleuzes own thought. It was the culmination of a series of monographic studies by Deleuze (on Hume, Bergson, Nietzsche, Proust, Kant, and Sacher-Masoch), and it prepared the transition from these abstract treatments of historical schemes of experience to the nomadology of "Capitalism and Schizophrenia". In this extraordinary work, Deleuze reflects on one of the thinkers of the past who most influenced his own sweeping reconfiguration of the tasks of philosophy. For Deleuze, Spinoza, along with Nietzsche and Lucretius, conceived of philosophy as an enterprise of liberation and radical demystification. Flap The Pacific island of Guadalcanal was a terrible place to fight a war. Although heaven for mosquitoes, malaria, and infections of all kinds, it combined hellish equatorial temperatures with heavy rains and dense jungle. Yet it was here that a shoeless, shirtless, mud-streaked Marine gunnery sergeant known to his buddies as "ManilaJohn" first displayed the courage, tenacity, and devotion to duty that would define the remainder of his brief life and the manner of his death two years later on another island, Iwo Jima. In Hero of the Pacific , the late columnist, best selling author, and Marine James Brady examines the life and death of a man who, though now all but forgotten, was one of World War IIs most celebrated figures. Medal of Honor winner John Basilone willingly and repeatedly put himself in unthinkable danger to repel a prolonged and determined Japanese attack, reluctantly became a national celebrity and a leading salesman in Americas "buy bonds" campaign, then begged his superiors to return him to active duty. Brady provides a taut and thrilling account of Manila Johns extraordinary heroism as more than 3,000 crack Japanese troops stormed his machine-gun positions in a relentless overnight battle in October 1942. He reveals Basilone in action,calmly repairing a jammed machine gun, even as the enemy rushed at him; abandoning the relative safety of the foxhole amid a hail of grenades and mortar shells to replenish diminishing ammo and water supplies; fighting at close quarters with the few attackers who survived his teams withering fire; and more. If Manila Johns sheer courage and stubborn refusalto succumb to exhaustion were on full display at Guadalcanal, his tactical shrewdness and coolness under fire came to the fore on Iwo Jimas Red Beach 2. Bradys account of Basilones last few hours on earth is among the most awe-inspiring tales of real-life heroism you will ever read. This powerful biography includes revealing stories of Basilones youth in the Rockwellian any-town of Raritan, New Jersey, in the 1920s and 1930s; his first cross-country railroad trip with fellow soldiers in 1935; and his decisions to leave the Army and, later, join the Marines. Brady explains the machine gunners sly grinwhen legendary Marine commander Chesty Puller threatened to charge him with desertion. He cuts through the amateurish and exaggerated tales of earlier biographers to provide a gripping account of Manila Johns extraordinary heroism-the actions that led Puller, just a few days after the"desertion" comment, to recommend Basilone for the Medal of Honor. Complete with the definitive account of Basilones death on the World War II island of Iwo Jima, and the actions for which he was post humously awarded the Navy Cross, Hero of the Pacific revives and honors the memory of one of the most unusual and compelling figures of Americas greatest war.
