Žižek’s Quantum History: A New Materialist Philosophy
Žižek’s Quantum History: A New Materialist Philosophy stakes its claim on a double front: it proposes a reconstruction of materialism adequate to contemporary quantum physics and, inseparably, a reconstruction of historical and political agency under conditions in which no neutral standpoint outside quantum indeterminacy and symbolic distortion is available. The book’s distinctive contribution lies in…

The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 4: The Swiss Years: Writings, 1912-1914
The distinctive scholarly stake of The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 4: The Swiss Years: Writings, 1912–1914 lies in its careful assembly of texts that document the conceptual and technical struggle by which Einstein sought to unify the relativity principle, the equality of inertial and gravitational mass, and the conservation of energy–momentum into a…

The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 2: The Swiss Years: Writings, 1900-1909
The distinctive scholarly stake of this translation volume lies in its doubly mediating function: it returns Einstein’s 1900–1909 writings to the conditions of their original formulation—terminology, mathematical notations, and rhetorical textures—while synchronizing those conditions with an English idiom restrained to accuracy rather than fluency. The contribution is therefore twofold. It assembles, in strict sequence and…

The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 1: The Early Years, 1879-1902
The scholarly stake of this translation volume lies in its disciplined reconstruction of a young researcher’s cognitive, affective, and social formation through a corpus that has been stabilized, ordered, and rendered into English under an explicit editorial constraint: to preserve documentary texture over literary smoothness. The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, Volume 1: The Early…

Albert Einstein: The Meaning of Relativity
Einstein’s The Meaning of Relativity secures a distinctive place in the literature because it compresses a complete conceptual itinerary—from classical kinematics to the relativistic unification of gravitation and geometry—into a set of lectures whose unity of method is continuously tested and amended across successive editions. The book’s scholarly stake is double: first, it re-derives the…

The Science of Spirit: Emergence of the New Logic
PREFACE Over the last twenty-five years, the very ground on which we conduct philosophy has been torn open and reshaped. What once seemed an immutable landscape of neat categories and settled doctrines now reveals itself as a living, breathing field of conceptual forces in continual motion. Thought has turned its gaze inward, no longer willing…

Welt und Zeit—With Us, Capitalism is Genocide, 21:44—5. March 2025
World and time, as an unfolding of existential and historical questioning, compels us to confront the fundamental structures of being-in-the-world. Yet the gravity of our historical moment demands that we focus our reflections upon capitalism as a manifestation of an ever-unfolding logic of annihilation. This annihilation, hidden beneath the veneer of progress and technological advancement,…

Perception and Deception: The Cycle of Truth and Illusion
How Consciousness Navigates the Tension Between Essential Essence and Inessential Abstraction. Table of Contents Abstract: In Perception and Deception, the dynamics of perception and its contradictions are explored through a dialectical lens. Consciousness initially perceives the object in its singularity, positing it as a unified truth, only to encounter the tension of opposing abstractions. These…

The This and the Universal: Revisiting Sensory Certainty and Meaning
Through the interplay of the immediate and the universal, sensory certainty reveals itself as a dynamic process of becoming, where meaning is not fixed but continuously transformed. Table of Contents Abstract: This work delves into the nature of sensory certainty, exploring how the seemingly simple and immediate perception of objects is inherently entangled with the…
