This is a book about the moral-existential nature of, and the desire inscribed in, the deadlocks generated by our attempts to ground and exhaustively explain the concerns that provoke philosophical reflection. While the book argues that these deadlocks are symptomatic of an impossibility internal to the very enterprise of grounding and explanation, it does not, however, declare any substantial groundlessness. Rather, the book shows that the choice between secure ground and groundlessness, or between final explanations and the inexplicable, is ultimately arbitrary. Instead, through readings of the so-called hard problem of consciousness, of Descartes’ first principle of philosophy, of Plato’s dialogue Gorgias, and of Lacan and Wittgenstein, Toivakainen argues that the actual point of significance, the sense of the impossibility or deadlock, must be traced back to the claims of desire that inform the very movement of grounding and explanation, a desire that is inscribed in a constitutive and inescapable address between self and other. In short, the book translates and rewrites points of structural deadlock into their (original) moral-existential landscapes by following traces of desire.

In the most influential chapter of his most important philosophical work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel makes the central and disarming assertions that "self-consciousness is desire itself" and that it attains its "satisfaction" only in another self-consciousness. Hegel on Self-Consciousness presents a groundbreaking new interpretation of these revolutionary claims, tracing their roots to Kant's philosophy and demonstrating their continued relevance for contemporary thought. As Robert Pippin shows, Hegel argues that we must understand Kant's account of the self-conscious nature of consciousness as a claim in practical philosophy, and that therefore we need radically different views of human sentience, the conditions of our knowledge of the world, and the social nature of subjectivity and normativity. Pippin explains why this chapter of Hegel's Phenomenology should be seen as the basis of much later continental philosophy and the Marxist, neo-Marxist, and critical-theory traditions. He also contrasts his own interpretation of Hegel's assertions with influential interpretations of the chapter put forward by philosophers John McDowell and Robert Brandom.

Lisa Powers, M.A. on the NEWS! If you are an overeater, then indulge. That's right. Go ahead. Figure out what you really want and have it. Chances are it's not really chocolate cake, Chances are it's something else and it's not food. Many women, like myself, have been taught to deny desire. Diets are a metaphor for this refusal. Anorexia is symptom of it. We have spent so much of our lives afraid of gaining weight, that our entire mentality is centered around denying what we really want. We have learned to refuse our hunger and don't even know when we are hungry or what we really crave. Don't eat this. Don't eat that. Watch out you might get fat. We learn to control out appetites, but the secret to losing weight is giving into our hunger. The key is to trust the wisdom of our wanting. If we listen to our deepest desires, we will have the perfect diet for a happy heart. This is what I have learned as I have maintained a sixty-pound weight loss,. The more I find out what I really hunger, the more I live and the less I overeat. The happier I am. Eating Desire: Food, Sex, and the Wisdom of Appetite celebrates women's appetite for living from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the pulpit to the dance floor. What do women really want? In most cases, it's not ice cream, cookies or French fries. It's a fuller life. Eating Desire focuses on overeating less and living more. I explore eight profound appetites that I discovered in my life; I share these with readers as I embark on a shared exploration. These desires are for transcendence, transformation, witness, connection, power and protection, comfort, sexual pleasure, and personal fulfillment. In the 250-page self-help memoir, I chronicle my transformation from self-contempt to self-love, a journey that began with the first time I obsessed over food minutes after being paid for sex when I was seven-years old. "I take the money he gives me ,and I buy chocolate and spread it against my teeth and gums to sweeten me. I hide all the shame and terror with the numbing goodness of candy." In Eating Desire, I invite other women to reflect upon their eating histories to discover the role overeating has played in the their lives. For many of us, our relationship to food involves not only a series of diets and binges, but a series of love lost, hearts broken, wishes unfulfilled. Our relationship to food often reflects our struggle to fulfill ourselves emotionally, spiritually, and sexually. Once we learn to identify our real appetites, our eating becomes less compulsive, and our lives become more nourishing. In Eating Desire, I write about childhood abuse, overeating, the perpetual diet, and the wisdom made from wounds. I talk about pornography and love, midnight bingeing, self-acceptance and the tantalizing call of forbidden cravings. In Eating Desire: Food, Sex, and the Wisdom of Appetite, I wave a tapestry of tales and truths abut satisfying our deepest desires. Eating Desire invites women who are struggling with weight to fully appreciate their appetite and to discover that overeating is often a metaphor for more profound needs. Eating Desire offers alternatives to overeating, showing how life can be more fulfilling when we create the lives we were meant to lead . Our hunger for food is often calling us to listen to what we truly want from ourselves and the world. If we trust the desire instead of stuffing it down with cookies and cake, we can begin to construct a new happiness based on getting what we really want... and we can lose weight and live life more fully.

This study explores the relationship between the individual person (the self), the divine, and other people in the writings of the apostle Paul and the Roman Stoic Epictetus. It does so by examining self-involving actions expressed with reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, etc.) in various kinds of sentences: for example, “Examine yourself” and “You do not belong to yourself.” After situating the topic within the fields of linguistics and ancient Greek, the study then examines the reflexive constructions in Epictetus’s Discourses, showing that reflexive texts express fundamental aspects of his ethic of rational self-interest in imitation of the indwelling rational deity. Next, the investigation examines the 109 reflexive constructions in Paul, providing an exegesis of each reflexive text and then synthesizing the results. Paul’s reflexive phrases are essential statements of his theology and ethics, expressing an interconnected narrative Christology, narrative apostolic identity, and narrative ethic. Most importantly, the study finds that for Epictetus, concern for others is a rational means to self-realization, whereas for Paul, concern for others is a community ethic grounded in the story of the indwelling Christ and is the antithesis of self-interest.

In Desire, the Self, the Social Critic, Professor Buckley shows that while few transcendentalists ever agree for long on philosophical or epistemological matters, four of them develop the use of "antisocial" desire into a transcendental critique of nineteenth-century American culture. Margaret Fuller, Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, and Emily Dickinson represent the individual's inherent divinity and the individual's inherent ability to transcend the exigencies of the sensate world in terms that might appear to be homosexual, bisexual, or "pansexual." They alone among their contemporaries give expression to desire for the social other, give expression to desire for the self not to be seen in the heterosexist, homophobic, misogynist social realm of everyday life.

Joining the ancient debate over the roles of reason and appetite in the moral mind, In Praise of Desire takes the side of appetite. Acting for moral reasons, acting in a praiseworthy manner, and acting out of virtue amount to nothing more than acting out of intrinsic desires for the right or the good, correctly conceived. Reason, understood as the power to deliberate about what to think and do, is shown not to be the basis for our ability to act for reasons. Reason is rather the ability to perform certain mental actions which help us to become settled about what to think or do, and these actions are in turn motivated by desire. Thus reason is, if not a slave of the passions, then at least a useful tool deployed by desiring agents. If desire were merely an impulse to act, then a moral psychology built on intrinsic desires might be unpromising. But intrinsic desire is much more than an impulse to act. Intrinsic desires are a natural kind, states of the brain which contingently but commonly cause impulses to act, as well as causing a rich array of feelings and cognitive effects (on attention, learning, and more). Understood in this way, intrinsic desires are more central to agency, good will, and virtue than any mere impulse could be. In Praise of Desire shows that a desire-centered moral psychology can be richer than philosophers commonly think, accommodating the full complexity of moral life.

This book takes a surprising look at the hidden world of broccoli, connecting American consumers concerned about their health and diet with Maya farmers concerned about holding onto their land and making a living. Compelling life stories and rich descriptions from ethnographic fieldwork among supermarket shoppers in Nashville, Tennessee and Maya farmers in highland Guatemala bring the commodity chain of this seemingly mundane product to life. For affluent Americans, broccoli fits into everyday concerns about eating right, being healthy, staying in shape, and valuing natural foods. For Maya farmers, this new export crop provides an opportunity to make a little extra money in difficult, often risky circumstances. Unbeknownst to each other, the American consumer and the Maya farmer are bound together in webs of desire and material production.
