Social Sciences

This richly documented, descriptive narrative is one of the very few that deals with the male side of society--the forces pulling them together and pushing them apart; friendships and mutual aid; gossip; status and reputation building; recruitment and expulsion. The subjects--lower status Creole males in Paramaribo, Suriname--congregate at the neighborhood winkel (tavern), the neutral and accessible point where men with similar mating, residential, and occupational arrangements can interact. In addition, the wider urban community and the neighborhood are also captured in this case study.

Philosophy

A Theory of Feelings examines the problem of human feelings, widely understood, from phenomenological, analytic, and historical perspectives. It begins with an analysis of drives and affects, and pursues the nature of "feeling" itself, in all of its variability, through a close study of the distinctive categories of emotions, emotional dispositions, orientive feelings, and the passions. As such, the starting point of the anlysis entails an examination of the characteristics of human involvement, or our ways of being in the world. Building upon this assessment of the conditions of human involvement, the philosophical history and emotional economy characteristic of modern relationships is treated, and the nature of expression, social division, suffering, and responsibility is evaluated in light of the theory of feeling presented here. The book is recommended to anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, sociology, and cognitive science.
