Thomas T. Wilson is described in the preface of this book as "probably the best-known unknown painter in the Northwest." Most of his early paintings still hang within the houses of his original buyers. Very few of his paintings are in public spaces, and the artist has never sought or received formal gallery representation. Thomas T. Wilson: Paintings brings the hidden career and life of a masterful Pacific Northwest artist to light. The bold lyricism and originality of Wilson's work is revealed in the lush farmlands of his native Illinois, his fascination with light and space in his tree compositions, and his vibrant landscapes and cloudscapes inspired by the dramatic environment of the Pacific Northwest. Wilson is also a prolific portraitist. He captured Seattle society after the dramatic impact of the 1962 World's Fair, a period which saw significant growth in the city's theater, opera, dance, music, and visual arts. Many of the people who were a part of this pre-Microsoft flourishing are Wilson's subjects. Even multiple generations within single families are represented in the painter's career. The artist also painted several self-portraits, and his works are unsparing progress reports of his life. Thomas Wilson's work is a valuable record of a society within the cultural world it helped to create. This collection of portraits, self-portraits, and landscapes promises to be a revelation to all those unfamiliar with the artist and his work.

Hegel's Transcendental Induction challenges the orthodox account of Hegelian phenomenology as a hyper-rationalism, arguing that Hegel's insistence on the primacy of experience in the development of scientific knowledge amounts to a kind of empiricism, or inductive epistemology. While the inductive element does not exclude an emphasis on deductive demonstration as well, Hegel's phenomenological description of knowledge demonstrates why knowing becomes scientific only to the extent that it recognizes its dependence on experience.  Simpson's argument closely parallels Hegel's own in the Phenomenology of Spirit, highlighting those sections, like Hegel's analysis of mastery and slavery, that contribute to the argument that knowing is both vulnerable and responsive to the way in which experience resists our attempts to make sense of things. Simpson's argument connects his account of Hegelian phenomenology with traditional accounts of induction, and with a number of other commentators.

The Politics of Aristotle

A touchstone in Western debates about society and government, the Politics is Aristotle's classic work on the nature of political community. Here, he argues that people band together into political communities to secure a good and self-sufficient life. He discusses the merits and defects of various regimes or ways of organizing political community--democracy in particular--and in the process examines such subjects as slavery, economics, the family, citizenship, justice, and revolution.Peter Simpson offers a new translation of Aristotle's text from the ancient Greek. He renders the Politics into an English version that is accurate, readable, and in certain difficult passages, original. His innovative analytical division of the whole text, with headings and accompanying summaries, makes clear the progression and unity of the argument--a helpful feature for students or readers unfamiliar with Aristotle's studied brevity and often elliptical style. Books 7 and 8 are repositioned--a move supported by Aristotle's own words and much scholarly opinion--to restore the work's logical organization and coherence. Finally, Simpson places the Politics in its proper philosophical context by beginning the text with the last chapter of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, which he sees as an introduction to what follows.

This work represents a view of the world through the eyes of one who lived through an age of changing attitudes towards many areas of morality, particularly sexuality, abortion, prostitution, drinking and gaming. The chapters describing the London of the 1960's are illuminating. The author has removed the rose-tinted spectacles through which the decade is so often projected and inverted them; the veneer of good times is therefore in the background to the decade's true sordidness and squalor. A number of the scenes whilst not gratuitous are certainly not for the prudish. Although autobiographical this is a modern story about Peter and Vincent's life together, portraying a homosexual relationship without sensationalising and could be about any couple.At the beginning of the story, Peter is in Australia where his partner committed suicide. In 1961 this was still a mortal sin for a Catholic. Devastated by the loss Peter decides to return to England and his family thinking that his life was over, not realising that it would be the beginning of a life full of events.London in 1961 was not the place it is now. Friendships between Black and White men or women were not altogether acceptable. However things were changing, the old order was being challenged in the UK, Caribbean and Africa and Vincent and Peter were part of those changes. The book spans 28 years with all the changes that have occurred in our society, highlighting the ups and downs of a relationship.

This book is a meticulously researched but very readable story of Huguenot Paul Fourdrinier's journey from being an apprentice in Holland to a highly recognized printmaker in London in the eighteenth century. Paul is almost forgotten and artistically underrated but was an accomplished copper engraver who founded the English Fourdrinier dynasty, which produced the developers of the Fourdrinier papermaking machine and the mother of Cardinal Newman. The reader will be immersed in his world and his connections to aristocrats, artists, and great projects of the age--including the development of Palladian neoclassical architecture, the Foundling's Hospital, and the Savannah colony in Georgia--and renowned talents such as the sculptor Rysbrack, painter Hogarth, designer William Kent, and composer George Frederick Handel. As well as the great and powerful, we meet the eccentrics--George Vertue, Horace Walpole, the reverend Stephen Duck, Batty Langley, courtesan Teresia Constantia Phillips, and the curious affair of Mary Toft, who convinced half the nation that she had given birth to rabbits. This was a time of exciting intellectual development. The combination of copper engraving and printing along with the removal of state censorship and the institution of copyright led to a wave of information and learning not dissimilar to the impact of the Internet. The institution of commercial companies and banks foreshadowed the Industrial Revolution and made possible projects such as Charles Labeyle's first Westminster Bridge, the building of Regency Bath and James Gibb's Radcliffe Camera in Oxford, all engraved by Fourdrinier on behalf of their creators. In his shop in Whitehall, he developed master engravings of uncommon size and shapes for customers, including the Earls of Burlington and Pembroke, and engraved for Thomas Wright, the astronomer who first defined galaxies, and William Chambers, who propelled Chinese fashion into Georgian design. This is a fascinating book from beginning to end.
