The Artist-Philosopher and New Philosophy In The Artist-Philosopher and New Philosophy Smith argues that Western Metaphysics has indeed come to what Heidegger describes as “an end. ” That is hardly to say philosophy as such is over or soon to disappear; rather its purpose as a medium of cultural change and as a generator of history has run its course. He thus calls for a New Philosophy conceptualized by the artist-philosopher who “makes” or “poeticizes” New Philosophy spanning literary and theoretical discourses and operating across art in all its forms and across culture in all its locations. To this end Smith proposes the establishment of schools and social networks that advance the training and development of artist-philosophers as well as global digital networks that are themselves designed toward this “ever-becoming community. ” GBP 38.99 1

The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970 This book examines new tenements—dense medium-rise multi-storey residences that have been the backbone of European inner-city regeneration since the 1970s and came with a new positive view on urban living. Focusing principally on Berlin Copenhagen Glasgow Rotterdam and Vienna it relates architectural design to an evolving intellectual framework that mixed anti-modernist criticism with nostalgic images and strategic goals and absorbed ideas about the city as a generator of creativity locale of democratic debate and object of personal identification. This book analyses new tenements in the context of the post-functionalist city and its mixed-use neighbourhoods redeveloped industrial sites and regenerated waterfronts. It demonstrates that these buildings are both generators and outcome of an urban environment characterised by information exchange rather than industrial production individual expression rather than mass culture visible history rather than comprehensive renewal and conspicuous difference rather than egalitarianism. It also shows that new tenements evolved under a welfare state that all over Europe has come under pressure but still to a certain degree balances and controls heterogeneity and economic disparities. | The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970 GBP 48.99 1
