This is the story of a man who had given up on life. His very existence had pushed him to the edge. There was no meaning or purpose in getting out of bed. Alone and abandoned in a strange far away city, despair was his constant companion. He had hit rock bottom. There was nothing left to lose. Consequences were a thing of the past. His options had dwindled to just two. Suicide or push the reset button. To hell with the outcome. There was no courage or conviction in his motivation. He simply had had enough and wanted out. Suicide seemed the easy way but why not try a radical plunge into the known first? He sat in silence and pondered the options in catatonic numbness. The silence held him captive while he pondered how it had all come to this.It was a dreary cold Sunday evening in Melbourne when the phone rang. Startled by the ring Michael flinched. It was the upbeat voice of a man he scarcely knew. They had worked together several years back. "Gooday mate. Want to catch up for a beer". Michael had not noticed the sun going down. His wife of 29 years, now living in Perth with his two adult children, had hang up on him some 30 minutes earlier. Laura would never allow reference to a previous telephone hang-ups. Michael had been living in a surreal relationship with his wife Laura. No manner of action on his part would ever alter the outcome of their interactions. Any sense of mutual regard was as distant now as it had been from the beginning. His marriage had been a living nightmare for longer than he could remember. He felt weak, naïve, alone and exhausted.The voice on the phone was Luke. Luke, while a qualified psychologist, was also a long-term drug user and self-ascribed societal drop out from a comfortable middle class background. During the 70's Luke had chosen a life of government handouts rather than work. He considered himself a guru having evaded military service by hiding in India for 7 years after leaving university. Luke seemed keen to befriend Michael, something Michael did not fully comprehend given their differences in life choices. Luke surrounded himself with unemployed drug users and those with similar views on deviant societal norms. In any event, Michael, now caught in a vacuum of social isolation, reluctantly accepted Luke's attempts at building a friendship. "My voice broke as I held the phone to my ear. I burst into tears without saying a word. 'What's up mate?' Unable to answer Michael struggled to gain his breath. I choked on a few mumbled words and Luke said, 'I'll be there in a few minutes, ' then hung up."Luke, accompanied by a bottle of red wine, appeared at Michael's front door 10 minutes later. Fortunately Michael had a back-up bottle. They spoke for a couple of hours as Michael recounted the hang up event and all those that had preceded it. Luke listened attentively. "I felt my hypocrisy rise to the surface as he listened and seemed fully in tune with my pain. No one had listened to me so intently before. Those who judge can be ruthless in their self-idealisation."Luke was not known for his subtlety. Michael was aware of his aggressive style of dishing out feedback He was not about to spare Michael his thoughts. Dramatically, Luke jumped out of his chair and lashed out, spit spurting from his mouth. "No one should stand for that. No one hangs up on anyone, especially a wife to a husband. If you allow this into your life then you are nothing more than a cockroach and I don't want to be friends with a cockroach." With that he stormed out of the apartment, slamming the door behind him. It was 2.00am. This was the event that had unwittingly ushered a new direction for Michael. He needed to understand why his life had to this extent and what could be done to fix things. The other alternative was to turn to the sleeping tables waiting for him in his bedside table. He had researched their effect of the human body some month before. 30 tablets would prove lethal. He had 60.

In a major challenge to African philosophy, this book demonstrates the importance of the universalisation question for every committed African philosopher. Rooted in Africa’s colonial legacy, the universalisation question challenges the African thinker to show how authentically African philosophical concepts and phenomena can be universally applicable in a globalising world. In this highly original book, the author inserts the philosophy of consolationism into African philosophical discourse, constructing a unique philosophical system that is at once African and universally relevant. The book engages major African and Western philosophers of diverse ideological leanings in a compelling dialogue that announces the future of world philosophy as one of interculturality, in which a common philosophical horizon is forged out of the cultural diversities of the world for the edification of humanity in a continually changing world. This book will be an important read for researchers in the fields of African Studies, intercultural philosophy, philosophy of mind, and existentialism.

From 2001 to 2006, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra transformed Thailand's international role from one of obscurity into a kind of regional hegemon. Thaksin's diplomatic ambitions were reflected in his myriad of grandiose foreign policy initiatives, designed to locate Thailand at the forefront of regional politics and reinstall the Thai sphere of influence over weaker neighbouring states. He abolished the traditional bending-with-the-wind foreign policy, revamped the Thai Foreign Ministry, and empowered Thai envoys through the CEO Ambassadors programme. But in this process, Thaksin was accused of exploiting foreign policy to enrich his business empire. Thaksin's reinvention of Thailand as an up-and-coming regional power was therefore tainted by conflicts of interest and the absence of ethical principles in the country's foreign policy.

Reinventing Khomeini offers a new interpretation of the political battles that paved the way for reform in Iran. Brumberg argues that these conflicts did not result from a sudden ideological shift; nor did the election of President Mohammad Khatami in 1997 really defy the core principles of the Islamic Revolution. To the contrary, the struggle for a more democratic Iran can be traced to the revolution itself, and to the contradictory agendas of the revolution's founding father, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. A complex figure, Khomeini was a fervent champion of Islam, but while he sought a Shi'ite vision of clerical rule under one Supreme Leader, he also strove to mesh that vision with an implicitly Western view of mass participatory politics. The intense magnetism and charisma of the ayatollah obscured this paradox. But reformers in Iran today, while rejecting his autocratic vision, are reviving the constitutional notions of government that he considered, and even casting themselves as the bearers of his legacy. In Reinventing Khomeini, Brumberg proves that the ayatollah is as much the author of modern Iran as he is the symbol of its fundamentalist past.

An international bestseller and finalist for the Prix Goncourt; a suspenseful tale of a tangled love triangle in the long shadow of the war on terror. Manhattan attorney Sam Tahar appears to have it all: fame, fortune, an enviable marriage to a prominent socialite, and two children. But his charmed life is built on a lie - he isn't the person he pretends to be. As the son of a Tunisian immigrant growing up in a grimy Paris tower block, Samir Tahar seemed destined to stay on the margins - until he decided to 'cut through the bars of his social jail cell, even if he had to do it with his teeth'. At law school, he became friends with Jewish student Samuel Baron. The two were inseparable until the irresistible Nina, torn between the men, chose Samuel. Samir fled to America, where he assumed Samuel's identity while his former friend remained trapped in a French suburb, a failed writer seething at Samir's triumphs. Years later, the three meet again and Samir's carefully constructed existence is blown apart, with disastrous consequences. The Age of Reinvention is a smart, captivating story about the temptations and terrible costs of remaking oneself. 'A work of great magnitude. It delves into and embraces the complexity of our modern world, mixes it up, describes, dissects and, finally, helps us to understand it. Brimming with ideas, original, compulsive' Le Figaro 'Stolen identities, social ambition, and suspense: Karine Tuil triumphs with this masterful novel...Unquestionably one of the season's best' Paris Match 'Karine Tuil's energy and inventiveness never flag.

This volume includes eleven original essays that explore and expand on the work of Don Ihde, bookended by two chapters by Ihde himself. Ihde, the recipient of the first Society for Philosophy and Technology's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017, is best known for his development of postphenomenology, a blend of pragmatism and phenomenology that incorporates insights into the ways technology mediates human perception and action. The book contains contributions from academics from Europe, North America, and Asia, which demonstrates the global impact of Ihde’s work. Essays in the book explore the relationship between Ihde's work and its origins in phenomenology (especially Husserl and Heidegger) and American pragmatism; integrate his philosophical work within the embodied experience of radical architecture and imagine the possibility of a future philosophy of technology after postphenomenology; develop central ideas of postphenomenology and expand the resources present in postphenomenology to ethics and politics; and extend the influence of Ihde's ideas to mobile media and engineering, and comprehensively assess the influence of his work in China. The book includes a reprint of the Introduction of Sense and Significance, one of Ihde's first books; "Hawk: Predatory Vision," a new chapter that blends his biographical experience with feminism, technoscience, and environmental observation; and an appendix that lists all of Ihde's books as well as secondary sources annotated by Ihde himself. Starting with an Editors' Introduction that offers an overview of the central ideas in Ihde's corpus and concluding with an index that facilitates research across the various chapters, this book is of interest to a diverse academic community that includes philosophers, STS scholars, anthropologists, historians, and sociologists.
