  • On interface: Nancy's weights and masses by Graham Harman

    On interface: Nancy's weights and masses

    Graham Harman

    Elsewhere I have called for an object-oriented philosophy, a project inspired by the phenomenological tradition. In Husserl, we have intentional objects: apples or mailboxes that form integral units for perception even though their sensual profiles shift wildly from one moment to the next. In Heidegger, with a bit of finessing, we have real objects: unified tool-beings that withdraw not only from theoretical description and pragmatic interaction, but from any form of causal relation at all. This dual interplay between intentional objects and their accidents, and real objects and their relations offers a fourfold alternative to the stale Kantian rift (and equally stale post-Kantian marriage) between human and world, whose interplay is now dismally cemented as the sole topic of philosophy. Taken as a pair, Husserl and Heidegger enable a new, weird realism, which the relation between palm trees and raindrops is no less a philosophical problem than the gap between speakers and signifieds.

  • On the Supposed Societies of Chemicals, Atoms and Stars in Gabriel Tarde by Graham Harman

    On the Supposed Societies of Chemicals, Atoms and Stars in Gabriel Tarde

    Graham Harman

    It is commonly believed that the French sociologist Gabriel Tarde allows even for inanimate objects such as chemicals, atoms, and stars to be topics of sociology. This article claims otherwise. Tarde is an arch-reductionist for whom nothing exists below the tiniest micro-level of the cosmos. His theory of monads is by no means an adequate sociology of medium- or large-sized things.

  • Health inequities: Social determinants and policy implications by Zeinab Khadr and Hoda Rashad

    Health inequities: Social determinants and policy implications

    Zeinab Khadr and Hoda Rashad

    The Arab world is a distinct geographic and cultural entity, with a complex demographic. Public Health in the Arab World reviews and dissects the public health concerns specific to this region. This volume will interest not only researchers, practitioners and students in the Arab world, but also the wider constituency of international public health specialists and social scholars interested in this region. With contributions from a multidisciplinary group of leading regional and international experts, this volume addresses a comprehensive range of contemporary topics, including the social determinants of health, and health issues in different population groups. Synthesizing a large body of knowledge in an accessible manner, the authors critique and adapt public health concepts, frameworks and paradigms to the context of the Arab world, engaging readers in current debates. This is a valuable addition to the library of anyone interested in global public health and in Arab world studies. Presents a diverse perspective on health issues through a multidisciplinary approach including public health, social and anthropological perspectives Describes the practical relevance of current theoretical debates, allowing readers to apply the theory in different frameworks Highlights the differences and commonalities between various Arab countries and population groups, helping readers understand the complexity of the region
