  • Reviews the books >The art of Being<, by Erich Fromm (1992); >Basic writings<, by Martin Heidegger (1993); >History of the Concept of Time: Prolegomena<, by Martin Heidegger (1992); Complexity: Life at the Edge of Chaos, by Roger Lewin (1992); >The Future of an Illusion: Film, Feminism, and Psychoanalysis<, by Constance Penley (1989); >Human Inquiry: A Sourcebook of New Paradigm Research<, by Peter Reason and John Rowan (1990); >Reading Heidegger: Commemorations<, edited by John Sallis (1993); and >Truth and Existence<, by Jean-Paul Sartre (1992). Brief synopses of each book are presented, rather than full reviews. In >The Art of Being<, Fromm presents his synthesis of spiritual teachings from Zen to existentialism, as well as a synopsis of his earlier critiques of consumer capitalism. >Basic writings< is a collection of essays, lectures, and sections from Heidegger's major works. Of special interest to psychologists interested in Heidegger's methodology is the re-translation of the introduction to >Being and Time<. In >History of the Concept of Time: Prolegomena<, Heidegger elaborates the methodological and foundational connection of his work to Brentano, Dilthey, and Husserl, thus providing for the first time an authoritative understanding of the relationship of his uniquely hermeneutic phenomenology to the ideas of his predecessors. In >Complexity: Life at the Edge of Chaos<, Roger Lewin discusses the search for the set of rules that underly complexity theory and the >grand unification< of the life sciences. >The Future of an Illusion: Film, feminism, and psychoanalysis<, by Constance Penley, is a collection of essays on the sexual politics of representation. In >Human inquiry: A Sourcebook of New Paradigm Research<, Reason and Rowan cover the philosophy, methodology, practice, and prospects of what the editors call >new paradigm research<: alternative approaches to human science research that are both collaborative and experiential. >Reading Heidegger: Commemorations< is a richly provocative book of essays by an impressive list of 23 Heidegger scholars around the world. This text celebrates, reconsiders, and sometimes pokes fun at one of the most controversial and most important thinkers of our century. Finally, written in response to Heidegger's >The Essence of Truth<, Jean-Paul Sartre's >Truth and Existence provides a bridge between Sartre's >Being and Nothingness< and his >Critique of Dialectical Reason. It is a philosophical as well as psychological study of epistemology, based on his phenomenological ontology that becomes a work on morality.
