Creolizing Marcuse

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781538198148

Addresses the pressing need for a liberatory critical theory that is responsive to contemporary challenges, exploring the intersections between Herbert Marcuse's critical theory and Africana and Caribbean theory.

This collection challenges the academic domestication of critical theory and revitalizes Marcuse, employing creolization as a method to disrupt and reconfigure the Western canon.

This is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the role that critical theory should play in today's world. With a focus on Marcuse, the essays collected here engage the with Global South to radically refigure European critical theory. Creolization, taken as a deliberate and strategic blending of differing systems of thought and practice, is deployed to interrogate the vestiges of racism and coloniality in European critical theory.

With incisive analyses offered from Black, feminist, and queer critical theorists and theories, and rooted in the Global South, these essays offer perspectives that put philosophy into concrete, political, public, and lived practices.

Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Suicide
Can suicide be, in certain situations, morally permissible or even morally obligatory? Can it be a rational choice? What are our obligations toward suicidal individuals? How should we even define suicide? <em>The Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Suicide </em>discusses these questions and expands the frontier of philosophical discourse to include heretofore neglected ethical and social aspects of suicide. <p/>Starting with a critical overview of the most important historical philosophical approaches to suicide, the chronologically ordered chapters in the first part of this volume cover both Western and non-Western philosophical traditions. The second part is dedicated to foundational issues such as the nature, morality, and rationality of suicide. The final section covers philosophical issues related to the practice of suicide, addressing topics such as the ethics of suicide prevention and intervention, new suicide technologies, suicide and mental illness, suicide and media ethics, and suicide and gender, among others. <p/>Across thirty-three chapters written by thirty-five leading scholars, this handbook provides a fresh, compelling analysis of past and contemporary trends in the philosophy of suicide.
