    Art as Experiment

    by Herbert Molderings ...
    Translated by John Brogden ...
    Series series Columbia Themes in Philosophy, Social Criticism, and the Arts

In his 3 Standard Stoppages (1913-1914), a work that uses chance as an artistic medium, we see how far Duchamp subverted scientism ... Read more

  • Oedipus and the Sphinx

    The Threshold Myth from Sophocles through Freud to Cocteau

    by Almut-Barbara Renger ...
    When Oedipus met the Sphinx on the road to Thebes, he did more than answer a riddle—he spawned a myth that, told and retold, would become one of Western culture's central narratives about self-understanding. Identifying the story as a threshold myth—in which the hero crosses over into an unknown and dangerous realm where rules and limits are not known— Oedipus and the Sphinx offers a fresh account ...

    by Elisabetta Basso ...
    Translated by Marie Satya McDonough ...

His early writings on psychology, psychopathology, and anthropology have been dismissed as immature. However, recently discovered manuscripts from the mid-1950s, when Foucault was a lecturer at the University of Lille, testify to the significance of the work that the philosopher produced in ...
