Bøker av Robert E. Wood

Alms for Oblivion is divided between a retrospective look at Americans abroad in summer study at Oxford and a glance back at films and popular icons of the Twentieth Century.

"Being Human is the fruit of many years teaching Philosophical Anthropology, conducting Phenomenological Workshops, and reading classic texts in the light of a reflective awareness of the field of experience. Being Human is intended to look to what is typically assumed but not examined in much of current philosophical literature"--

Examining select high points in the speculative tradition from Plato and Aristotle through the Middle Ages and German tradition to Dewey and Heidegger, this book seeks to locate the aesthetic concern within the larger framework of each thinker's philosophy.

This book provides a comprehensive view of the aesthetic realm, placing the various major artforms within the setting of nature and the built environment as they arise within the field of experience.

Aims to reestablish a speculative view of the cosmos that goes back to the ancient Greeks and that corresponds to the holism of contemporary physics. The basic ground of this position rests upon the functioning of the notion of Being that opens up the question of the character of the Whole and the human being's place in it.

How do we understand the notions of the beautiful, the true, and the good, and how do they help us to know, to understand? Philosopher Robert E. Wood considers appeals respectively to the heart, to the intellect, and to the will. In our minds, their interplay beckons each of us to assimilate one's past, and look forward towards further endeavours.
