Nomadic Subjects argues for a new kind of philosophical thinking, one that would include the insights of feminism and abandon the hegemonic mode that is conventionally adopted in high theory. Braidotti's personal, surprising, and lively prose insists on an integration of feminism in mainstream discourse.

Lo que quizás aparece justamente como problema en lo referido a la vida la muerte es la relación de yuxtaposición o de oposición, la relación...

James L. Jarrett is Professor of the Philosophy of Education at the University of California, Berkeley.
Nietzsche's infamous work Thus Spake Zarathustra is filled with a strange sense of religiosity that seems to run counter to the philosopher's usual polemics against religious faith. For some scholars, this book marks little but a mental decline in the great philosopher; for C. G. Jung, Zarathustra was an invaluable demonstration of the unconscious...

Ambos pensadores lograron eliminar las contradicciones internas que podrían surgir de la tentación de instituirlo como grado máximo de sabiduría o como una realización total (filosófica, científica o de otro tipo).
De hecho, ambos...

Dios, el hombre y la muerte son problemas cuya verdad radica más en su planteamiento que en su solución. Esta obra da fe de ello. La primera aproximación se basa en el método cartesiano. El hombre es el tema central de la segunda aproximación. Finalmente, la aproximación a la muerte deja en claro que la estetización religiosa, metafísica o poética del morir no lo exime de su nexo ontológico con la nada.

Five long essays that trace Jung's developing interest in alchemy from 1929 onward. An introduction and supplement to his major works on the subject, illustrated with 42 patients' drawings and paintings.
