内容説明
In this imaginative and comprehensive study, Edward Casey, one of the most incisive interpreters of the Continental philosophical tradition, offers a philosophical history of the evolving conceptualizations of place and space in Western thought. Not merely a presentation of the ideas of other philosophers, The Fate of Place is acutely sensitive to silences, absences, and missed opportunities in the complex history of philosophical approaches to space and place. A central theme is the increasing neglect of place in favor of space from the seventh century A.D. onward, amounting to the virtual exclusion of place by the end of the eighteenth century. Casey begins with mythological and religious creation stories and the theories of Plato and Aristotle and then explores the heritage of Neoplatonic, medieval, and Renaissance speculations about space. He presents an impressive history of the birth of modern spatial conceptions in the writings of Newton, Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant and delineates the evolution of twentieth-century phenomenological approaches in the work of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Bachelard, and Heidegger. In the book's final section, Casey explores the postmodern theories of Foucault, Derrida, Tschumi, Deleuze and Guattari, and Irigaray.

We may talk of virtual reality and speak in virtual conversations, but we simply can't help actually occupying a concrete place. Long marginalized by philosophers, the idea of place is here rescued from the dustbins of philosophical history in a meticulous tracing of the idea of place from the immanent categories of Aristotle, to the Enlightenment dissolution of place into space, and to Martin Heidegger's reclamation of place from space. Edward Casey leads us through rocky and challenging terrain to a destination that already has been profitably mined for its literary riches by the likes of Gary Snyder and William Kittredge. The Fate of Place is a welcome addition and sure to be influential.

Following Nietzsche's admonition, in The Genealogy of Morals, that "man would sooner have the void for his purpose than be void of purpose," there is an area of human experience in which, indeed, the void plays a constitutive and recognized role. 最初のページを読む

Demanding and Rewarding
2008/8/13
形式:ペーパーバック
Edward Casey has provided us the most comprehensive survey and in-depth interaction with the philosophical history of place. It is dense, demanding, and rewarding. I am trained in the arts and theology and not philosophy which slowed my already slow pace of reading down to a crawl through the 342 pages of text (not to mention the 135 pages of end notes). Though difficult, Casey's text is the quintessential work on the topics of place and who and what influenced the conversation. I would highly recommend the volume, especially to those who have a background in philosophy. Casey seems to shine in chapters 10-12 covering the re-emergence of place into philosophy and contemporary life by dealing with Merleau-Ponty, Kant, Bachelard, Derrida, Foucault and Heidegger.

A Tough, But Important Read

I think the review by "R. Stander" is well-stated. All I would add is that _The Fate of Place_ (FP) is, to my knowledge, the first study of its kind to chronologically lay out the foundations of our modern (dis-?)regard of place in favor of abstract "space" and the consequences of this shift. Though FP is a later work than Casey's other book _Getting Back Into Place_, FP is a prequel of sorts and provides an essential foundation to that earlier work. I would wholeheartedly recommend both. Great work and thank you, Professor Casey!

Better off not buying at all...
2009/3/8
形式:ペーパーバック
Despite the many useful and profound ideas contained in this volume, the pretention and staggering self-absorption of the author drained out all of the excitement I might have had reading this hapless book. The writing style is turgid, top-heavy, and repellent in doses of more than three pages--in short, every stereotype people are afraid of when they hear the word "philosophy."
Casey is inexplicably excited by Latin and German terminology, even when the English would have been fine, and this makes the text ultimately inaccessible to anyone who is not very familiar with the languages of philosophy. Among Casey's favourite words are "cosmogony" and "ex nihilo," and the sheer number of times he uses these two words must take up half of the book by volume.
Derrida, Heidegger, and the Greeks all appear in turn, but in the end the sheer density of philosophical doddering in the text renders these beautiful ideas clumsy and unrewarding to read.
