Sculpture has been a central aspect of almost every art culture, contemporary or historical. This volume comprises ten essays at the cutting edge of thinking about sculpture in philosophical terms, representing approaches to sculpture from the perspectives of both Anglo-American and European philosophy. Some of the essays are historically situated, while others are more straightforwardly conceptual. All of the essays, however, pay strict attention to actual sculptural examples in their discussions. This reflects the overall aim of the volume to not merely “apply” philosophy to sculpture, but rather to test the philosophical approaches taken in tandem with deep analyses of sculptural examples. There is an array of philosophical problems unique to sculpture, namely certain aspects of its three-dimensionality, physicality, temporality, and morality. The authors in this volume respond to a number of challenging philosophical questions related to these characteristics. Furthermore, while the focus of most of the essays is on Western sculptural traditions, there are contributions that feature discussion of sculptural examples from non-Western sources. Philosophy of Sculpture is the first full-length book treatment of the philosophical significance of sculpture in English. It is a valuable resource for advanced students and scholars across aesthetics, art history, history, performance studies, and visual studies.

  On Tuesday, the American Civil Liberties Union jumped into the fray, arguing that teachers' free-speech rights may have been violated by what was described in a letter from the organization as a \"thinly veiled threat of retaliation\" by administrators against employees. The ACLU letter claims teachers who distributed a survey on SLCs that was not sanctioned by the district were the target of those threats. Santa Fe High Principal Susan Lumley said she is mystified by the fuss. \"I don't know what happened,\" Lumley said. \"I spend many hours awake at night trying to figure this out.\" Lumley came to Santa Fe from Huntsville, Texas, north of Houston, where as principal of the town's only high school, she implemented an SLC for freshmen. Fred Rush, the superintendent there, said Lumley didn't face serious opposition from staff or parents. \"Ms. Lumley had the majority of that staff -- and it was not an easy staff -- on board with her,\" Rush said.

Curry reviews The Cambridge companion to critical theory edited by Fred Rush.

In this daring rereading of Schlegel, Hegel, and Kierkegaard, Rush (Univ. of Notre Dame) provides a refreshingly judicious and meticulously researched account of irony, idealism, and Romanticism. In three chapters the author develops four theses-laid out in the introduction as \"regulative Romanticism,\" \"the precedence of Schlegel,\" \"Hegel's irresolute Romanticism,\" and \"Kierkegaard the ironist\"-to tell the story of how irony shaped European philosophy from the 1790s to the 1850s.

Hullot-Kentor reviews The Cambridge Companion to Critical theory edited by Fred Rush.

Rumors of poor job performance surrounded Rush's abrupt resignation as executive director of the Governor's Commission on African-American Affairs. When asked about his sudden decision to leave a job paying $67,642, [Fred Rush] said he is returning to Erie to be with his family. [Ben Wiley] could not be reached for comment, but was quoted in the Erie Times-News as saying Rush's job \"wasn't a picnic. Usually the person in that job has to take a lot of heat from the Black community.\" \"I feel as if we could be doing more,\" [Renee Amoore] said of the African-American Affairs Commission. \"I think one of the problems was we got a slow start in hiring Fred and in hiring a deputy director. Now we're going to hire somebody and focus on what needs to be focused on to get the job done.\"
