Charlotte Brontë
By: Glen, Heather
Published by: OUP Oxford
This stimulating study considers how Charlotte Bront--euml--;'s writings engage with a whole range of issues in their time. Through a series of new readings of ostensibly well-known texts, Heather Glen reveals a Charlotte Bront--euml--; more alert to her historical moment and far more aesthetically sophisticated than she has usually been taken to be. - ;This stimulating study of Charlotte Bront--euml--;'s novels draws on extensive original research in a range of early Victorian writings, on subjects ranging from women's day-dreaming to sanitary reform, from the Great Exhibition to early Victorian religious thought. It is not, however, merely a study of context. Through a close consideration of the ways in which Bront--euml--;'s novels engage with the thinking of their time, it offers a powerful argument for the 'literary' as a. distinctive mode of intelligence, and reveals a Charlotte Bront--euml--; more alert to her historical moment and far more aesthetically sophisticated than she has usually been taken to be. The study will be of interest not only to students of Victorian literature and society, but also to those literary critics and theorists who. are beginning to reconsider the nature of the aesthetic and its relation to ideology. - ;Her scholarship is impressive. . . . Provides an immensely valuable record of what nineteenth-century English readers were thinking, and reminds us that Charlotte Bront--euml--; was one of them. . . . will become an indispensable resource for students of the Bront--euml--;s and nineteenth-century culture. Glen shows us how, exactly, Bront--euml--;'s novels are topical, and a picture of the age in which she lived and wrote emerges that is richer and more detailed than any we have previously. had. - Janet Gezari, Essays in Criticism;... the book is a treasure trove, with a tendency to dazzle and bewilder. Readers who would like an occasional look at the map will just have to be content to expect the unexp

In response Boucher points to intersubjectivity as an exit from postmarxist theorys charmed circle of ideology.

Consciousness
By: Heinamaa, Sara (ed.); Lahteenmaki, Vili (ed.); Remes, Pauliina (ed.)
Published by: Springer
Despite decades of theoretization, consciousness continues to haunt contemporary philosophy of mind. The coherence and validity of the concept are in question, yet consciousness seems to resist the projects of reduction and naturalization. This collection opens a diachronical perspective to intuitions about consciousness and our aspiration of coming to grips with it. Through investigating ancient, medieval, early modern, and modern discussions in their original philosophical context, the articles offer understanding of the emergence of our problems concerning consciousness, as well as a wealth of alternative ways of conceptualizing it. Consciousness: From Perception to Reflection in the History of Philosophy shows that the concept of consciousness was explicated relatively late in the tradition, but that its central features, such as reflexivity, subjectivity and aboutness, attained avid interest very early in philosophical debates. This book reveals how these features have been related to other central topics, such as selfhood, perception, attention and embodiment. At the same time, the articles display that consciousness is not just an isolated issue of philosophy of mind, but is bound to ontological, epistemological and moral discussions. Integrating historical inquiries into the systematic ones enables understanding the complexity and richness of conscious phenomena.
