Welcome to Bloomsbury Philosophy
Welcome to the new Philosophy catalogue. As you will have noticed, for the first time this catalogue is coming out
under the Bloomsbury name instead of the separate Continuum and Bloomsbury Academic imprints. We wanted to
give you some background to this rebranding. In 2008, Bloomsbury decided to invest in building a new academic
division. Growth since that decision was taken has been very rapid: we now publish around 1,100 titles each year, with
a particularly big presence in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and our backlist comprises some 20,000 titles. The
purchase of Continuum in 2011 was a key part of this growth.
We believe we are stronger as a group, which is why we have taken the strategic decision to adopt the Bloomsbury
name for all academic titles that we publish. With effect from 1st September 2012, all new Continuum titles will be
published under the Bloomsbury brand. The same applies to all Bristol Classical Press titles, as of 1st January 2013. This
will make it easier for you to find quality philosophy publishing, rather than navigating across a number of imprints.
The values of Continuum and other imprints, which you have appreciated over the years are already integral to
the larger entity that is Bloomsbury. Much has changed over the past 12 months, but we remain as committed to
our authors and to publishing the same high quality textbooks, course books, translations of key texts, research
monographs, reference works, journals and online resources.
Publishing in Print and Digital
Bloomsbury leads the way in digital publishing, for example with the launch of the Churchill Archive in September
2012 and Drama Online in spring 2013 (see www.churchillarchive.com and www.dramaonlinelibrary.com). We are
currently exploring digital publishing opportunities for the Philosophy list, over and above eBooks of individual titles.
You can expect to hear more about this on our blog over the coming months. Please feel free to contact us with any
ideas that you have for digital products (e.g. collections of works) and services.
Highlights
In this catalogue, we are delighted to introduce several new textbooks, including The Bloomsbury Anthology of
Aesthetics (p.8), Philosophy of Action (p.9), Philosophy of Law (p.9) and Philosophy of Language (p.8), as well as
the second edition of our popular Doing Philosophy (p.8). Our range of Companions continues to grow and now
features Analytic Philosophy, Epistemology and Aesthetics along with Aristotle, Aquinas, Hegel and Heidegger (p.1416). Furthermore, we publish the three-volume reference work, The Complete Heidegger Concordance (p.18) and
launch several new Philosophical Dictionaries, including Deleuze and Guattari, Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty (p.17).
Finally, we are proud to publish new translations of Heidegger’s Basic Problems of Phenomenology (p.21), Laruelle’s
Mathematics of the Transcendental (p.19) and Anti-Badiou and Irigaray’s In the Beginning, She Was (p.20).
New Website
We are also delighted to announce the launch of a new global Bloomsbury website: www.bloomsbury.com. This site
brings together everything under the Bloomsbury Group, including Continuum, Berg, Methuen Drama, Arden Shakespeare,
T&T Clark, Bristol Classical Press, and A&C Black titles. The site features enhanced academic functionality such
as online previews, digital inspection copies, textbook companion sites and online resources. Go to
www.bloomsbury.com/academic for more information.
We hope you enjoy reading our latest catalogue.

Bloomsbury Revelations Series
Bringing together books and thinkers that have opened up startling new ways of looking at the world, the Bloomsbury Revelations series
celebrates the originality and excellence of Bloomsbury’s non-fiction publishing. Including books by the likes of Gilles Deleuze, Ronald Dworkin,
Mohandas Ghandi, Konstantin Stanislavski, Theodor Adorno and Karl Barth, this is an essential library of the thinkers who have fundamentally
shaped the way we see the modern world.
Anti-Oedipus
A Thousand Plateaus
Gilles Deleuze and
Felix Guattari
The collaboration of the
philosopher Gilles Deleuze
and the psychoanalyst
Felix Guattari has been
one of the most profoundly
influential partnerships in
contemporary thought. AntiOedipus is the first part of their masterpiece,
Capitalism and Schizophrenia. Ranging widely
across the radical tradition of 20th-Century
thought and culture that preceeded them
- from Foucault, Lacan and Jung to Samuel
Beckett and Henry Miller - this revolutionary
analysis of the intertwining of desire, reality
and capitalist society is an essential read for
anyone interested in postwar continental
thought.
Gilles Deleuze was Professor of Philosophy at the
University of Paris VIII.
Felix Guattari (1930-1992) was a French
psychoanalyst, philosopher, social theorist
and radical activist. He is best known for his
collaborative work with Gilles Deleuze.

A Thousand Plateaus
is the second part of
Deleuze and Guattari’s
landmark philosophical
project, Capitalism and
Schizophrenia - a project
that still sets the terms
of contemporary philosophical debate.
Written over a seven year period, A Thousand
Plateaus provides a compelling analysis
of social phenomena and offers fresh
alternatives for thinking about philosophy
and culture. Its radical perspective provides a
toolbox for ‘nomadic thought’ and has had a
galvanizing influence on today’s anti-capitalist
movement.

The Politics of Aesthetics
Jacques Ranciere
Translated by Gabriel Rockhill
“Jacques Rancière is one of the most important
and original contemporary French philosophers.
This book provides perhaps the best available
introduction to his thought in English. Its main
contents are two interviews with Rancière...they
provide an extraordinarily concise and systematic
summary by Rancière of the main themes of his
recent work across its whole range.” Culture Machine
“[A]n excellent introduction to Jacques Rancière.” London Review
of Books
Available now in the Bloomsbury Revelations series 10 years after its
original publication, The Politics of Aesthetics includes an afterword
by Slavoj Zizek, an interview for the English edition, a glossary of
technical terms and an extensive bibliography.
Jacques Rancière taught at the University of Paris VIII, France, from 1969
to 2000, occupying the Chair of Aesthetics and Politics from 1990 until his
retirement.
In his most important work,
Max Horkheimer surveys and
demonstrates the gradual
ascendancy of Reason in
Western philosophy, its
eventual total application to
all spheres of life, and what
he considers its present
reified domination. First published in 1947,
Horkheimer here explores the ways in which
Nazism - that most irrational of political
movements - had co-opted ideas of rationality
for its own ends. Ultimately, the book is
a warning of the ways this might happen
again and, as such, this is a book that has
never appeared more timely. B loomsbury R evelations

Max Horkheimer, founder and long-time director of
the famous Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt,
was professor emeritus of philosophy and sociology
at the University of Frankfurt until his death in 1973.
He is one of the founders of the Frankfurt School.

Aesthetic Theory
Theodor W. Adorno
Theodor Adorno (1903-69) was undoubtedly the
foremost thinker of the Frankfurt School, the
influential group of German thinkers that fled to
the US in the 1930s. Aesthetic Theory is Adorno’s
posthumous magnum opus and the culmination of
a lifetime’s investigation. Analysing the sublime,
the ugly and the beautiful, Adorno shows how such
concepts frame and distil human experience and that
it is human experience that ultimately underlies aesthetics. In Adorno’s
formulation ‘art is the sedimented history of human misery’.
Theodor W. Adorno (1903-69) was a founder and arguably the foremost thinker
of the Frankfurt School. He worked with Max Horkheimer at the New York
Institute for Social Research and later taught at the University of Frankfurt until
his death in 1969.

To Have or To Be?
Erich Fromm
To Have Or to Be? is one
of the seminal books of
the second half of the
20th century. Nothing less
than a manifesto for a new
social and psychological
revolution to save our
threatened planet, this book
is a summary of the penetrating thought of
Eric Fromm. His thesis is that two modes of
existence struggle for the spirit of humankind:
the having mode, which concentrates on
material possessions, power, and aggression,
and is the basis of the universal evils of
greed, envy, and violence; and the being
mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of
sharing, and in productive activity. To Have Or
to Be? is a brilliant program for socioeconomic
change.
Erich Fromm (1900-1980) studied sociology and
psychoanalysis. In 1933, he emigrated as a member
of the Frankfurt School of social thinkers to the
United States, moved to Mexico in 1950, and
spent his twilight years between 1974 and 1980 in
Switzerland.

Truth and Method
Hans-Georg Gadamer
Truth and Method is a
landmark work of 20th
century thought which
established Hans GeorgGadamer as one of the most
important philosophical
voices of the 20th Century.
In this book, Gadamer
established the field of ‘philosophical
hermeneutics’: exploring the nature of
knowledge, the book rejected traditional
quasi-scientific approaches to establishing
cultural meaning that were prevalent after
the war. In arguing that ‘truth’ and ‘method’
acted in opposition to each other, Gadamer
examined the ways in which historical
and cultural circumstance fundamentally
influenced human understanding. It was
an approach that would become hugely
influential in the humanities and social
sciences and remains so to this day in the
work of Jurgen Habermas and many others.
Hans-Georg Gadamer was born on 11 February
1900 and died on 13 March 2002. He was the author,
most notably, of Truth and Method, and, more
recently, of The Beginning of Philosophy and The
Beginning of Knowledge.
“A compelling analysis of
what Washington has been
pleased to call the global
war on terror.” Times
Literary Supplement
“When it comes to
mysterious paradoxes
and lyrical complexity
no French intellectual matches Jean
Baudrillard in contemplating the New World
- a sharp-shooting Lone Ranger of the postMarxist left.” New York Times
In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, after
the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and
at the height of the “War on Terror”, the
controversial postmodernist thinker Jean
Baudrillard wrote The Intelligence of Evil. In
tackling the rhetoric of the so-called “clash
of civilizations” between a capitalist West
and a fundamentalist religious Islam, the
book also provides a summation of many of
the most important themes of Baurdrillard’s
philosophical project.
Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007) was one of the
most influential and controversial thinkers of the
post-War period. Perhaps the leading thinker of the
postmodernist school, his writings cover art, media,
sociology, culture and philosophy.
Alasdair MacIntyre,
with a new preface by
the author
Highly controversial when it
was first published in 1981,
Alasdair MacIntyre’s After
Virtue has since established
itself as a landmark work
in contemporary moral
philosophy. In this book, MacIntyre sought
to address a crisis in moral language that he
traced back to a European Enlightenment that
had made the formulation of moral principles
increasingly difficult. In the search for a way
out of this impasse, MacIntyre returns to an
earlier strand of ethical thinking, that of
Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of
‘virtue’ to the ethical life.
Alasdair MacIntyre is Senior Research Professor of
Philosophy, University of Notre Dame.

explicators of Deleuze ...his skill in this area

thought, this edition includes a new preface

Ronald Dworkin, with a
new preface by the
author
A landmark work of political
and legal philosophy, Ronald
Dworkin’s Taking Rights
Seriously was acclaimed
as a major work on its
first publication in 1977
and remains profoundly influential in the
21st century. A forceful statement of liberal
principles - championing the legal, moral
and political rights of the individual against
the state - Dworkin demolishes prevailing
utilitarian and legal-positivist approaches to
jurisprudence. Developing his own theory of
adjudication, he applies this to controversial
public issues, from civil disobedience to
positive discrimination. Elegantly written and
cuttingly insightful, Taking Rights Seriously
is one of the most important works of public
thought of the last fifty years.
Ronald Dworkin is Professor of Philosophy and
Frank Henry Sommer Professor of Law, New York
University, USA.

Time for Revolution
Antonio Negri
“We discover here
another Negri, a Negri
deeply immersed in a
philosophical, even a
theological problematic.
This book is a MUST:
it provides the proper
background for Negri’s
widely circulated analysis of the global
capitalist Empire.” Slavoj Zizek
“Time for Revolution constitutes a major
philosophical statement by one of the most
important thinkers of our time.” Fredric
Jameson
Antonio Negri wrote the two essays that
comprise Time for Revolution while serving
a prison sentence for alleged involvement
with radical left-wing groups. Although the
essays were written two decades apart, their
concerns are the same: is there a place for
resistance in a society utterly subsumed by
capitalism?
Antonio Negri is one of the most significant figures
in contemporary political thought.

The Historical Present
Medievalism and Modernity
Walter Kudrycz
Medievalism has become a
central concern for those
studying and teaching
medieval history. It can
be distinguished from
traditional medieval
history because it is not
directly concerned with
the study of the Middle Ages themselves,
but rather it looks at how ideas about the
medieval era operate in modern culture.
This volume breaks new ground by moving
beyond the arena of contemporary popular
culture by interpreting modern academic
attitudes towards the Middle Ages as
themselves forms of medievalism. This
volume argues that modernity’s sense of the
medieval past is the product of the dominant
intellectual movements of the nineteenth
century, Romanticism and Idealism, and that
nineteenth century attitudes have continued
to inform current understandings of the
Middle Ages.
WALTER KUDRYCZ is lecturer in philosophy at the
Australian National University, Canberra.

In Defence of Politics
Sir Bernard Crick
“He has written an
exceedingly clever
and disturbing book on
important issues. All that
he writes is alive and much
of what he says, even
when it seems perversely
provocative, turns out to
be penetrating and serious.” Isaiah Berlin
Bernard Crick’s classic In Defence of Politics
remains as important and inspiring a read as
ever. First published in 1962 and regularly
revised up until its final edition in 2002,
this book argues passionately that politics however messy and complex it might be and
for all its seeming compromises and bitter
divisions - is a vital freedom that we take for
granted at our peril.
Sir Bernard Crick was Emeritus Professor of
Politics, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK,
and Honorary Fellow in Politics at the University of
Edinburgh, UK.

Solving the Riddle of Right and Wrong
Iain King
“Iain King’s ambitious book
is an honest attempt to
think through and answer
questions at the heart
of morality. Anyone with
an interest in practical
answers to moral questions
will find this book of
interest too.” James Garvey, The Royal
Institute of Philosophy, UK
Clearly argued, this book combines new ideas
with old and rips apart traditional tenets of
morality. In their place, the author constructs
a new, comprehensive system of ethics,
identifying the basic DNA of right and wrong
and offering clear advice on how to be good in
today’s complicated and challenging world.
How to Win Every
Argument
bestseller
The Use and Abuse of Logic
Madsen Pirie
Publishing News
“A great book that is
challenging, fun and
argumentative and one
that really makes you
think about how best
to formulate a logical
argument ...or better yet,
an illogical argument.”
In this witty and infectious book, Madsen
Pirie provides a complete guide to using –
and indeed abusing – logic in order to win
arguments. He identifies with devastating
examples all the most common fallacies
popularly used in arguments. The author
shows you how to simultaneously strengthen
your own thinking and identify the weaknesses
in other people arguments.
IAIN KING, a former fellow of the University of
Cambridge, UK, and has faced many testing decisions
working in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Africa.

Philosophy and Interpretation
Roger Scruton
The Mediumship of the Listener
David Toop
“The prolific philosopher
turns his attention back
to music, exploring the
fundamental elements
that make a great piece.
Ranging from Wagner to
Hoagy Carmichael and
even a final chapter on
‘the disaster of pop’, this is trademark,
provocotive Scruton.” Bookseller
“This is not just a book
about the uncanny history
of sound, but about the
hidden affinities between
eras and art forms. The
patterns it divines make
Sinister Resonance
something like a sonically
minded companion to Marina Warner’s
Phantasmagoria, on the haunted nature of
photography and cinema.” The Wire
Roger Scruton first addressed this topic in his
celebrated book The Aesthetics of Music and
in this new book he applies the theory to the
practice and examines a number of composers
and musical forms. Many will be delighted,
others enraged. However, underlying this book
there is a consistent argument and passion for
tonality and rhythm.
ROGER SCRUTON is visiting scholar at the American
Enterprise Institute, Senior Research Fellow at
Blackfriars Hall Oxford and visiting Research
Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the
University of St Andrews, UK.
“Incredibly well researched, Sinister
Resonance is a surprisingly thoughtprovoking work of pop-culture analysis.”

The Purpose of Life
Dishonest to God
A Theistic Perspective
Stewart Goetz
On Keeping Religion Out of Politics
Mary Warnock
“A very stimulating
and readable defence
of a theistic hedonistic
understanding of happiness
as the purpose of life; it
should be of interest to
philosophers of religion and
value theorists at every
level, from the undergraduate upwards.”
T. J. Mawson, Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy,
University of Oxford, UK
“An excellent antidote to religious
complacency.”-The Tablet
What does philosophy have to say on the
question of the meaning of life? It may
surprise some readers that there has, in
fact, been a good deal of agreement on the
answer to this question: the meaning of life is
happiness.
The Purpose of Life is a serious but engaging
exploration and defense of this answer.
Stewart Goetz provides a survey of the
debates surrounding life’s meaning, from both
theists and atheists alike.
bestseller
This book reflects on the nature of religion
and how it relates or ought to relate to the
rest of life. Many people today are totally
indifferent to religion but religion is far from
dead. Indeed religions are intensely defended
and aggressively pursued. This book attempts
to clarify the foundation of morality in a
society largely indifferent to and ignorant
of religion. Religion nevertheless emerges
as a source of deep and unique imaginative
experience.

Key Thinkers
Epistemology: The Key Thinkers
Edited by Stephen Hetherington
“The best history of philosophy is the wellspring of
insightful metaphilosophy. This volume is a prime
example of both. As these essays so vividly show,
the history of epistemology may be a singularly
bountiful supply of metaphilosophical insights,
for the sharpness of its main problems and the
complexity in its most seductive failures.” Claudio
de Almeida, Professor of Philosophy, Pontifical
Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Brazil
Exploring what great philosophers have written about the nature of
knowledge and about how we know what we know, this is a concise
and accessible introduction to the field of epistemology. Epistemology:
The Key Thinkers tells the story of how epistemological thinking has
developed over the centuries, through the work of the finest thinkers
on the topic.

Philosophy of Mind: The Key Thinkers
Edited by Andrew Bailey
Philosophers have raised and struggled with questions
relating to the human mind for more than 2,000
years. Philosophy of Mind: The Key Thinkers offers a
comprehensive historical overview of this fascinating
field. Twelve specially commissioned essays introduce
and explore the contributions of those philosophers
who have shaped the subject and the central issues
and arguments therein. This book concentrates on
the development of philosophical views on the mind since Descartes,
offering coverage of the leading thinkers in the field including Ryle,
Lewis, Putnam, Fodor, Davidson, Dennett and the Churchlands.
Crucially the book demonstrates how the ideas and arguments of these
key thinkers have contributed to our understanding of the relationship
between mind and brain.

This book brings into discussion those sayings

recent archaeological findings have shown
that at least some of them are reliable.

Mill: A Guide for

Peirce: A Guide for
the Perplexed
Sujith Kumar
John Stuart Mill is best
known for his moral and
political writings, and is a
central figure in political
philosophy. However, the
full ambition of his thought
is often neglected in favour
of an assessment based
largely on contemporary liberal theorizing,
while the more subtle and manifold elements
of his thought remain inaccessible or
incoherent to many students of his work.
Mill: A Guide for the Perplexed is a clear and
thorough account of Mill’s thought, his major
works, and the common ideas that permeate
them, providing a guide to this important and
complex thinker.

of analytical philosophy
and of its continental
rivals. The author ... provides the first
book-length elucidation of Frege’s original
logical notation. He thoroughly explores
such ideas as the function-argument and
the sense-reference distinction, judiciously
discriminating between what we should
retain and what we should discard. He
sheds a bright light into the darkest
recesses of Frege’s intricate thought.”

life and thought, his major works and ideas,
providing an ideal guide to this important

Starting With…
Bloomsbury’s Starting with… series offers clear, concise and accessible introductions to the key thinkers in philosophy.
Starting with Hume
Starting with Kant
Starting with Merleau-Ponty
Charlotte Randall Brown and William
Edward Morris
Andrew Ward
Katherine J. Morris
“Ward is refreshingly sympathetic to Kant’s
philosophy, and he defends it against a
range of criticisms. He expounds Kant’s
metaphysics and ethics with admirable
clarity, and since he closely follows Kant’s
own order of exposition in the first two
Critiques, readers can easily use this book
as a guide to their own reading of the
texts. Throughout, Ward rightly stresses
that Kant’s ethics can be understood only
in the context of his metaphysics, and
thus presents his philosophy as an organic
whole.” George MacDonald Ross, Visiting
Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at University of
Leeds, UK

Aristotle’s ‘Metaphysics’

Edward Halper
“This is an elegant
introduction to the
main lines of Aristotle’s
Metaphysics and at the

of reflection on one of
the most intricate texts in the Western
philosophical tradition. Halper excels at
expressing the subtleties of Aristotle’s
thought in plain English. The reader who is

concern it. With this focus the editors and

multi-faceted character of utilitarianism in its
various contexts and forms more completely
than any previous source. The Encyclopedia
includes entries on the authors and texts that
are recognised as having built the tradition of
utilitarian thinking, as well as on the issues
and critics that have arisen at every stage of
the development of that tradition.
The Encyclopedia of the
American Enlightenment
is the first reference work
on this key subject in early
American history. With over
500 scholars participating,
this book provides a
comprehensive account to complement the
intense scholarly activity that has centered
on the European Enlightenment recently.
There are substantial and original essays
on the major American Enlightenment
figures, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
Jefferson, David Rittenhouse, Benjamin Rush,
Jonathan Edwards, and many others. And the
collection is wide-ranging – including many
topical essays and entries on dozens of oftenoverlooked secondary figures, offering a fresh
definition of the Enlightenment in America.

Schizoanalytic Cartographies
represents Félix Guattari’s
most important later work
and the most systematic

Guattari sets out to provide a complete
account of the conditions of ‘enunciation’
- autonomous speech and self-expression
- for subjects in the contemporary world.
Over the course of eight closely argued
chapters, he presents a breathtakingly new
reformulation of the structures of individual
and collective subjectivity. Based on research
into information theory and new technologies,
Guattari articulates a vision of a humanity
finally reconciled with its relationship to
machines.

from the perspective of Category Theory
and the categorial basis of his philosophical
conception of ‘being there’.

Being and Event II
Alain Badiou
Translated by Alberto
Toscano
This compelling and highly
original book represents
a confrontation between
two of the most radical
thinkers at work in France
today: Alain Badiou and the
author, François Laruelle. At face value, the
two have much in common: both espouse a
position of absolute immanence; both argue
that philosophy is conditioned by science;
and both command a pluralism of thought.
Anti-Badiou relates the parallel stories of
Badiou’s Maoist ‘ontology of the void’ and
Laruelle’s own performative practice of “nonphilosophy” and explains why the two are in
fact radically different.

In the Beginning, She Was
Luce Irigaray
In this new book, crucial for understanding her
journey, Luce Irigaray goes further than in Speculum
and questions the work of the Pre-Socratics at the
root of our culture. Reminding us of the story of
Ulysses and Antigone, she demonstrates how, from
the beginning, Western tradition represents an exile
for humanity. Indeed, to emerge from the maternal
origin, man elaborated a discourse of mastery and
constructed a world of his own that grew away from life and prevented
perceiving the real as it is. To recover our natural belonging and learn
how to cultivate it humanly is imperative and needs turning back
before the golden age of Greek culture. Another language is, then,
to discover, capable of expressing living energy and transforming our
instincts into shareable desires.

Basic Problems of Phenomenology
Winter Semester 1919/1920
Martin Heidegger
Translated by Scott M. Campbell
“In short, this elegantly presented, tastefully
produced volume provides, as far as their
evaluation of his verse is concerned, all that is
required to bring about a conversion of even
Nietzsche’s sternest critics.” The Journal of
European Studies
The Peacock and the Buffalo presents the first complete English
translation of the poetry of the celebrated and hugely influential
German thinker, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900).
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher and classical
philologist.
Basic Problems of Phenomenology presents the first
English translation of Martin Heidegger’s early lecture
course from the Winter of 1919/1920, in which he
attempts to clarify phenomenology by looking at the
phenomenon of life, which he sees as the primary
area of research for phenomenology. Heidegger
investigates the notions of life and world, and in
particular the self-world, Christianity, and science in an attempt to
discern how phenomenology is the primordial science of life and how
phenomenology can take account of the streaming character of life.
Basic Problems of Phenomenology provides invaluable insights into the
development of Heidegger’s thoughts about human existence up to
Being and Time.
James Luchte is Lecturer of Philosophy and Programme Co-ordinator of the MA
in European Philosophy at the University of Wales, Trinity St. David, in Wales.
Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is regarded as one of the twentieth century’s

“Philosophy and Simulation is a book about
affection - the capacity to affect and be affected
by others - an organon for a non-reductive and
emergent Theory of Everything, running from
inorganic matter to the dawn of civilisation.

computer simulation, the book is a fascinating and
enormously wide-ranging introduction to DeLanda’s
singular world-view.” Andrew Pickering, Professor of Sociology and

The Concept of Time presents Heidegger’s so-called
Dilthey review, widely considered the first draft of
his celebrated masterpiece, Being and Time. Here
Heidegger reveals his deep commitment to Wilhelm
Dilthey and Count Yorck von Wartenburg. He agrees
with them that historicity must be at the centre of
the new philosophy to come. However, he also argues
for an ontological approach to history. From this ontological turn he
develops the so-called categories of Dasein.
Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is regarded as one of the twentieth century’s

Problems and Prospects
Peter Gratton
A Critical Analysis
Stefan Herbrechter
This book introduces the
contexts out of which
speculative realism has
emerged and provides an
overview of the major
contributors and latest
developments. The book
begins with the speculative
realist’s critique of ‘correlationism’, the
view that we can never reach what is real
beneath our language systems, our means for
perception, or our finite manner of beingin-the-world. Gratton goes on to introduce
the work of the movement’s most important
thinkers, including Quentin Meillassoux,
Ray Brassier, Graham Harman and Bruno
Latour, whose writings delineate alternative
approaches to the real. He interrogates the
crucial questions these thinkers have raised
and concludes with a look toward the future
of speculative realism.
Who comes after the human?
This is the question that
posthumanists are taking
as their starting point.
This critical introduction
understands posthumanism
as a discourse, which,
in principle, includes
everything that has been and is being
said about the figure of the ‘posthuman’.
It outlines the genealogy of the various
posthuman ‘scenarios’ in circulation
and engages with their theoretical and
philosophical assumptions and social and
political implications. It does so by connecting
the philosophical debate about the future
of humanity with a range of texts, including
examples from new media, popular culture,
science and the media.

Issues in Phenomenology and
Hermeneutics
Ricoeur and the Negation of Happiness
Issues in Phenomenology and Hermeneutics presents original
research work that appeals to the phenomenological
method while also being informed by the tradition of
hermeneutics. The books in this series abide by the rigor
of traditional Husserlian phenomenology and bridge the
gap between philosophical, religious, literary and legal
hermeneutics. Informed by current debates within both
these fields, the series advances and promotes dialogue
between the two movements.
Ricoeur lectured and wrote for over twenty years on negation (‘Do I
understand something better if I know what it is not, and what is notness?’) and never published his extensive writings on this subject. Ricoeur
and the Negation of Happiness draws on previously unavailable archival
material.Alison Scott-Baumann argues that Ricoeur’s search to understand
humans and help us to improve our lives is suffused with the conviction
that negative thought is necessary but not sufficient; what is also required
is some sort of affirmation that we know we are split by contradictions
and nevertheless try to overcome them.

Known for influencing Merleau-Ponty’s
groundbreaking work on the body as well
as Levinas’s interest in concrete existence,
Husserl’s work on the body is nevertheless
often overlooked and underappreciated by
phenomenologists. Franck offers a lucid and
concise analysis that serves as an aide to
guide the reader through the multi-layered
and complex observations Husserl takes pains
to communicate over the span of several
years.In taking a phenomenological approach
to questions of the body, ego, temporailty
and intersubjective relations with the ‘other,
this book is a much-needed exposition of
an often overlooked dimension of Husserl’s
enormous body of work that in turn corrects
many misperceptions about Husserl and his
theories.

It reflects the recent turn towards normative

Deleuze and the History
of Mathematics
In Defence of the ‘New’
Simon Duffy
Gilles Deleuze’s
engagements with
mathematics, replete in
his work, rely upon the
construction of alternative
lineages in the history
of mathematics, which
challenge some of the selfimposed limits that regulate the canonical
concepts of the discipline. For Deleuze, these
challenges are an opportunity to reconfigure
particular philosophical problems - for
example, the problem of individuation - and
to develop new concepts in response to them.
The highly original research presented in this
book explores the mathematical construction
of Deleuze’s philosophy, as well as addressing
the undervalued and often neglected question
of the mathematical thinkers who influenced
his work.

In Deleuze and Art Anne
Sauvagnargues, one of the
world’s most renowned
Deleuze scholars, offers
a unique insight into
the constitutive role played by art in
the formation of Deleuze’s thought. By
reproducing Deleuze’s social and intellectual
references, Sauvagnargues is able to construct
a precise map of the totality of Deleuze’s
work, pinpointing where key Deleuzian
concepts first emerge and eventually
disappear. This innovative methodology,
which Sauvagnarges calls “periodization”,
provides a systematic historiography of
Deleuze’s philosophy that remains faithful to
his affirmation of the principle of exteriority..
This book is the product of insightful and
careful research, which has not been made
available to English readers of Deleuze before
now.

Derrida, Badiou and the
Formal Imperative
Christopher Norris
“There is no other current
work that so persuasively
demonstrates that the way
out of the current impasses
of philosophy and towards
a more open-minded and
communicative philosophic
culture is to overcome
the assumption that the analytical and the
creative are axiomatically at odds with each
other. The book is a major contribution
in the overcoming of the still pervasive
‘two cultures’ mentality.” Patricia Waugh,
Professor in the Department of English
Studies, Durham University, UK
In this path-breaking study Christopher Norris
proposes a transformed understanding of
the much-exaggerated differences between
analytic and continental philosophy. This
book focuses on the work of Jacques Derrida
and Alain Badiou, two of the most original
and significant figures in the recent history
of ideas. Norris argues that these thinkers
have decisively reconfigured the terrain
of contemporary philosophy and, between
them, pointed a way beyond some of those
seemingly intractable issues that have
polarized debate on both sides of the notional
rift between the analytic and continental
traditions. Norris provides a remarkably wideranging assessment of their joint contribution
to philosophy’s current - if widely resisted potential for self-transformation.

Breathing with Luce
Irigaray
Edited by Lenart Skof
and Emily A. Holmes
Contributors to this volume
consider the implications
of ‘the Age of Breath’: a
spiritual shift in human
awareness to the needs of
the other figured through
breathing. Awareness
of the breath allows us to attend to our
bodies and the bodies of others, to animals,
nature, other cultures, oppressed minorities,
and the other of sexual difference. As a
way to connect body and spirit, self and
other, nature and culture, and East and
West, breathing emerges as the significant
theological and philosophical gesture of our
time.

Thinking Between
Deleuze and Kant
A Strange Encounter
Between the Canon and
the Messiah
The Structure of Faith in
Contemporary Continental Thought
Colby Dickinson
Dickinson traces the
development of two
concepts, the messianic
and the canonical, as they
circulate, interweave and
contest each other in the
work of three prominent
continental philosophers:
Walter Benjamin, Jacques Derrida and Giorgio
Agamben, though a strong supporting cast of
Jan Assmann, René Girard, Gershom Scholem,
Jacob Taubes and Paul Ricoeur, among others,
also play their respective roles throughout
this study. He isolates how their various
interactions with their chosen terms reflects
a good deal of what is said within the various
discourses that constitute what we have
conveniently labelled, often in mistakenly
monolithic terms, as ‘Theology’.

Post-Rationalism
Psychoanalysis, Epistemology and Marxism in Post-War
France
Tom Eyers
Post-Rationalism takes as its main source the
experimental journal of psychoanalysis and
philosophy, the Cahiers pour l’Analyse, established
by students of Louis Althusser in 1966. In this book
Eyers provides an important corrective to standard
histories of the period. Each chapter engages the
early work of figures now famous in contemporary
critical thought, including Alain Badiou, JacquesAlain Miller and André Green. Throughout, emphasis is laid on the ways
that French epistemological writing of the 1930s and 1940s laid the
ground for the emergence of structuralism in the 1950s and 1960s, thus
questioning the standard historical narrative that posits structuralism
as emerging chiefly in reaction to phenomenology and existentialism.
Tom Eyers is an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellow on the

Jean-Luc Nancy and the
Question of Community
Ignaas Devisch
The French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy has made of
the question of community one the central questions
of his oeuvre. For Nancy, the question of community
is the question of our time. It is not so much a new
theory of community Nancy has in mind. Rather than
abandoning a specific form of thought, he aims to put
the ways we speak and think about the social bond
into question, to break them open and exhaust all of
their registers. Nancy’s work takes another look at community, at the
social bond and at identity more generally, than we are used to.
Ignaas Devisch is Professor in Ethics and Philosophy. He holds positions at Ghent
University and University College Arteveldehogeschool, Belgium.

The New Phenomenology
A Philosophical Introduction
J. Aaron Simmons and Bruce Ellis Benson
The New Phenomenology: A Philosophical
Introduction is the first available introduction to the
so-called ‘theological turn’ in contemporary French
thought. Starting with the foundational works of
Emmanuel Levinas and Michel Henry and moving
on to examine later works by the likes of Jacques
Derrida, Jean-Luc Marion and Jean-Louis Chretien,
the book explores how the work of these thinkers
form a coherent philosophical school - the ‘New Phenomenology.’ From
here, the book goes on to map out the contributions of the movement
to key areas of philosophical inquiry, from metaphysics, through
aesthetics, to ethics and politics.

Emmanuel Levinas
A Philosophy of Exile
Abi Doukhan
“Arguing against the received position that exile
carries a negative connotation, Abigail Doukhan
offers a re-reading of exile as a positive trope …
Doukhan reads Levinas’s philosophy as a philosophy
of exile, one that bridges the gap between exile
and ethics and thus offers new interpretive tools
for thinking about societies in crisis as a result of
the exile inside and outside the community.” Claire
Katz, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Women’s Studies at Texas A&M
University, USA
Abi Doukhan argues that Levinas’s philosophy can be understood as
a comprehensive philosophy of exile, from his ethics to his thoughts
on society, love, knowledge, spirituality and art, thereby presenting
a comprehensive view of the philosophy of Levinas himself as well as
a renewed understanding of the wealth and contribution of exile to a
given society.

Nietzsche’s Therapeutic
Teaching
For Individuals and Culture
Edited by Horst Hutter
and Eli Friedland
This collection of essays
by leading scholars in the
field is composed around
the Nietzschean insight,
which has its roots in the
Hippocratic tradition of
ancient medicine, that
beliefs, behaviours, ideals and patterns of
striving are not things for which individuals
or even cultures are responsible. Rather,
they are symptoms of what an individual or
culture is, which symptoms require diagnostic
interpretation and evaluation. The book
identifies three principal approaches in
Nietzsche’s philosophy: diagnostic, prognostic
and therapeutic. Each essay takes up this
essential insight into Nietzsche’s therapeutic
philosophy from a different perspective and
collectively they reveal an array of insightful
approaches to self-induced enhancement, for
both individuals and cultures.

Concordia University, Canada.

Gadamer’s Poetics:
A Critique of Modern
Aesthetics
John Arthos
This is the first full-length
exposition of Gadamer’s
approach to art. From the
full corpus of Gadamer’s
writings, it draws together
a coherent theory of the
work of art. Close readings
of Gadamer’s treatment
of aesthetics in Truth and Method and his
numerous essays and lectures on art, reveal
a way of approaching art that is not ancillary
to historical, philosophical, and linguistic
themes. It establishes Gadamer’s position on
the vexed issue of criteria for the judgment of
art and the balance between production and
reception from a hermeneutic perspective.
Alongside numerous extended illustrations
of art, to give a sense of the coherence of
Gadamer’s theory a fully developed case study
is provided.

Revaluating German Aesthetics from
Kant to Adorno
Ayon Maharaj
This study examines how
key figures in the German
aesthetic tradition – Kant,
Schelling, Friedrich Schlegel,
Hegel, and Adorno –
attempted to think through
the powers and limits of
art in post-Enlightenment
modernity. Maharaj has two interrelated
aims. First, to balance close exegesis with
a more synthetic interpretive perspective,
and, second, to revive the discourse of
aesthetic agency. The result is an original,
new account of the aesthetic standpoints of
Kant, Schelling, Schlegel, Hegel and Adorno.
Focusing on aspects of their aesthetic thought
that have been neglected or misunderstood in
both Anglo-American and German scholarship,
this is an important contribution to both the
German aesthetic tradition and the wider
history of aesthetics.
Ayon Maharaj is Assistant Professor in the
Departments of Philosophy and English at
Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University in West

The Ethical in
Kierkegaard and Levinas
Michael R.
Paradiso-Michau
Performatives After
Deconstruction
Edited by Mauro
Senatore
The Ethical in Kierkegaard
and Levinas investigates
the philosophical, ethical,
religious, and socialpolitical thought of Soren
Kierkegaard and Emmanuel
Levinas alongside, and in
conversation with, one another. ParadisoMichau disentangles Levinas’s troubled
misconceptions about Kierkegaard’s
multifaceted ideas of ‘the ethical’ sphere
of human existence, revealing a deeper
agreement and synergy than previously
considered. While Kierkegaard, Levinas and
some of their leading interpreters would
identify their specific religious orientations
(nineteenth-century Christianity and
twentieth-century Judaism, respectively)
as significant points of departure, this book
places them in dialogue to reconsider the
convergence of ethical and social-political
horizons between human subjectivity and
intersubjectivity.
What has happened since
de Man and Derrida first
read Austin? How has
the encounter between
deconstruction and the
performative affected each
of these terms? In addressing
these questions, this book brings together
scholars whose works have been provoked
in different ways by the encounter of
deconstruction and the performative. The
contributors to this book suggest various ways
of re-reading the heritage and future of both
deconstruction and the performative after
their encounter, bringing into focus both the
constitutive aporias of the performatives and
the role they play within the deconstruction
of the metaphysical tradition.

The telling of tales is always
a troubling business, and
the way in which we tell
stories about ourselves
and about others always
involves a degree of ethical
risk. Levinas, Storytelling
and Anti-Storytelling
explores the troubling nature of storytelling
through a reading of the work of Emmanuel
Levinas. Levinas is a thinker who has a
complex relationship with literature and with
storytelling. At times, Levinas is a teller of
powerful tales about ethics; at other times,
on ethical grounds, he disavows storytelling
altogether. This book explores the tensions
between philosophy and storytelling that run
throughout Levinas’s work.

Žižek and his
Contemporaries
The Emergence of Slovenian
Neo-Lacanianism
Jones Irwin and
Helena Motoh
Although only coming
to international notice
in the early 1990s, the
Slovenian school needs
to be understood as the
culmination of a series of
intellectual, artistic and
political movements inextricably connected to
the quest for the succession of Slovenia from
Yugoslavia. These developments in thought
must also be seen in the light of one of the
giants of Continental philosophy: Jacques
Lacan. Featuring brand new interviews with
three of its forerunners - Žižek, Mladen Dolar
and Alenka Zupancic - this fascinating account
details each philosopher’s individual concerns,
whilst shedding light on the complex
genealogy and continuing development of the
Slovenian Neo-Lacanian school.

Philosophy After Deleuze
Theology After Deleuze
Joe Hughes
“Philosophy After Deleuze
is a bold, wide-ranging
and informative book.
Joe Hughes affirms
unequivocally that there
is a Deleuzian philosophy
and then shows us how
to find it despite the
many changes in subject matter and
vocabulary that characterize Deleuze’s
work. He traces the outlines of a Deleuzean
philosophy across key manifestations in the
fields of ontology, ethics, aesthetics and
politics. He provides insightful accounts
of Deleuze’s engagements with familiar
interlocutors such as Kant, Spinoza,
Bergson and Nietzsche, but also his less
studied engagements with figures such
as Blanchot, Klossowski and Hume. This
book is essential reading for every serious
student of Deleuze.” Paul Patton, Professor
of Philosophy at the University of New South

Badiou and the Philosophers
Interrogating 1960s French Philosophy
Translated by Tzuchien Tho and Giuseppe Bianco
Between 1965 and 1968, the celebrated French philosopher Alain Badiou
hosted a televised series in which he interviewed some of the most influential
contemporary philosophers of the period. This book presents the first
English-language translation of those interviews. These highly accessible and
entertaining interviews provide a snapshot of French philosophy in the 1960s,
setting the scene for the very public and political context of philosophy in
the period immediately preceding the events of May ’68, where philosophy
played a crucial role. The book includes a new essay by Badiou in which he
reflects on the project 30 years on.

a glimpse into his political thought following
his engagement with Nazism. The second
section is a collection of interpretations
of the seminar, written by select thinkers,
including Françoise Dastur, Richard Polt, and
Rebecca Comay.

translation of Heidegger’s seminar ‘On the
Essence and Concepts of Nature, History
and State’, together with full introductory
material and interpretive essays by five
leading thinkers and scholars: Robert
Bernasconi, Peter Eli Gordon, Marion Heinz,
Theodore Kisiel and Slavoj Žižek. The text
consists of ten ‹protocols› on the seminar
sessions, composed by students and reviewed
by Heidegger. The text is important evidence
for anyone considering the tortured question
of Heidegger›s Nazism and its connection to
his philosophy in general.

Boring Formless Nonsense The Culture of Yellow
Experimental Music and the Aesthetics
of Failure
eldritch Priest
Boring Formless Nonsense intervenes in an
aesthetics of failure that has largely been
delimited by the visual arts and its avantgarde legacies. It focuses on contemporary
experimental composition in which failure
rubs shoulders with the categories of
chance, noise, and obscurity. Reshaping
debates on failure as an aesthetic category,
eldritch Priest shows failure to be a highly
dubious concept. The book frames recent
experimental composition as a deviant
kind of sound art whose affective and
formal elements reflect on current issues in
contemporary culture, and offers analyses of
musical works and performance practices that
are rarely heard.
Eldritch Priest is a composer, writer and coartistic director of the experimental music collective
Neither/Nor. He lives in Toronto.

Or, The Visual Politics of Late Modernity
Sabine Doran
This is the first book to explore the cultural
significance of the colour yellow, showing
how its psychological value marked and
shaped many of the intellectual, political, and
artistic currents of late modernity. It contends
that yellow functioned during the period
1890-1990 primarily as a colour of stigma and
scandal. Though scholars have commented
on these associations in particular contexts,
Doran offers the first overarching account
of how yellow connects disparate cultural
phenomena, such as turn-of-the-century
decadence (the ‘yellow nineties’), the rise
of mass media (yellow journalism), mass
immigration from Asia (‘yellow peril’), and
mass stigmatization (the yellow stars of Nazi
Germany).

Noise Matters
Towards an Ontology of Noise
Greg Hainge
Everyone knows what noise
is. Or do they? Can we in
fact say that one man’s
noise is another teenager’s
music? Is noise in fact only
an auditory phenomenon or
does it extend far beyond
this realm? If our common
definitions of noise are necessarily subjective
and noise is not just unpleasant sound, then
it merits a closer look (or listen). Greg Hainge
sets out to define noise in this way, to find
within it a series of operations common across
its multiple manifestations that allow us to
apprehend it as something other than a highly
subjective term that tells us very little.

Noise seems to stand for a
lack of aesthetic grace, to
alienate or distract rather
than enrapture. And yet
the drones of psychedelia,
the racket of garage rock and punk, the
thudding of rave, the clatter of jungle and
the stuttering of electronica, together with
notable examples of avant-garde noise art,
have all found a place in the history of
contemporary musics, and are recognised as
representing key evolutionary moments. Noise
therefore is the untold story of contemporary
popular music. Resonances is a compelling
collection of new essays by scholars, writers
and musicians - all seeking to explore and
enlighten this field of study.

Experiencing New Media Art through
Critique
Francisco J. Ricardo
The Engagement
Aesthetic details the first
comprehensive overview
of art practices that have,
in recent years, been
subjected to forms of
mediation characterized as
digital, electronic and new.
Francisco J. Ricardo proposes an ‘engagement
aesthetic’ as revealing certain commonalities
in the practices of new media art and thus
as providing a crucial critical framework.
By examining specific works or instances of
creation in multiple categories (performance
+ digital projection; kinetic sculpture + video;
projection + text messaging, etc), Ricardo
implements the use of phenomenology in
order to understand the processes necessary
to complete these emerging types of works.

20th-Century Aesthetics
explores five major themes
that, in Perniola’s view,
have been central to
European aesthetic theory:
Life, Form, Consciousness,
Action and Feeling. During the course of this
exploration, he takes in many of the most
important thinkers of the century, from
Foucault, Deleuze and Merleau-Ponty, through
Agamben, Jung and Adorno, to McLuhan

Monster Culture in the
21st Century
A Reader
Edited by Marina Levina and Diem-My T. Bui
Analyzing popular films and televisions shows,
such as True Blood, Twilight, Paranormal Activity,
District 9, Battlestar Galactica, and Avatar, the
essays in this collection argue that monstrous
narratives of the past decade have become
omnipresent specifically because they represent
collective social anxieties over resisting and
embracing change in the 21st century.
The first comprehensive text that uses monstrosity
not just as a metaphor for change, but rather a
necessary condition through which change is lived
and experienced in the 21st century, this approach
introduces a different perspective toward the
study of monstrosity in culture.

The Re-Enchantment of
the World
The Value of the Human Spirit vs
Industrial Populism
Bernard Stiegler
Translated by
Trevor Arthur
Bernard Stiegler’s work on the
intimate relations between
the human and the technical
have made him one of the
most important voices to
have emerged in French philosophy in the last
decade. The Re-Enchantment of the World
advances a critique of consumer capitalism that
draws on Freud and Marx to construct an utterly
contemporary analysis of our time. The book
explores the cognitive, affective, social and
economic effects of the ‘proletarianization’ of
the consumer in late capitalism and the resulting
destruction of the consumer’s savoir-vivre.

Philosophical Themes and Formal Qualities

“Kubrick’s Total Cinema by
Philip Kuberski belongs to
a vanishingly small number
of books that treat the films
of Stanley Kubrick with the
delicate combination of
critical virtues they demand
and deserve: a thorough
knowledge of the medium of film, a penetrating
insight into the aesthetic and philosophical
perspectives informing Kubrick’s choices, a
capacious imagination, and discerning taste. For
the first time, Kubrick’s cinema is understood
in ways that fully acknowledge the cognitive,
metaphysical, and spiritual themes that are
pertinent to his art as well as the dazzling
visual achievements for which the films are
justly famous.” Frederick M. Dolan, Professor

Transnationality, Imagery, and a Director’s Mark
Considered by critics to be Stanley Kubrick’s
masterpiece, Barry Lyndon has suffered
from scholarly and popular neglect. Taking
a novel approach, Maria Pramaggiore argues
that one key reason that this film remains
unappreciated, even by Kubrick aficionados,
is that its transnational and intermedial
contexts have not been fully explored. Taking
a novel approach, she looks at the film from
a transnational perspective – as a foreign
production shot in Ireland and an adaptation
of a British novel by an American director
about an Irish subject. Pramaggiore argues
that, in Barry Lyndon, Kubrick develops his
richest philosophical mediation on cinema’s
capacity to mediate the real and foregrounds
film’s relationship to other technologies of
visuality, including painting, photography, and
digital media.

The Phenomenology of Modern Art
On Bathos
Exploding Deleuze, Illuminating Style
Paul Crowther
Literature, Art, Music
Edited by Sara Crangle and Peter Nicholls
As a philosophical approach, phenomenology is
concerned with structure in how phenomena are
experienced. The Phenomenology of Modern Art
uses phenomenological insights to explain the
significance of style in modern art, most notably in
Impressionism, Expressionism, Cezanne and Cubism,
Duchampian conceptualism and abstract art.
Paul Crowther explores this thematic approach in a
new way, addressing specific visual artworks and tendencies in detail
and introduces a new methodology - post-analytic phenomenology.
Crowther uses Deleuze’s important phenomenological insights as a
starting point and goes on to develop arguments found in two other
thinkers, Nietzsche and Merleau-Ponty, as well as addressing those
figures and tendencies in relation to whom twentieth-century critical
appropriations of Kant have been most influential.

Autonomy
Edited by Owen Hulatt
Covering examples from
Philosophy, Music and Art
History and drawing on
continental and analytic
sources, this volume clarifies
the relationship between
artworks and extraaesthetic considerations,
including historic, cultural or economic
factors. It presents a comprehensive overview
of the question of aesthetic autonomy,
exploring its relevance to both philosophy
and the comprehension of specific artworks
themselves. By closely examining how the
creation of artworks, and our judgements of
these artworks, relate to society and history,
Aesthetic and Artistic Autonomy provides an
insightful and sustained discussion of a major
question in aesthetic philosophy.

Definition
From Hegel to Post-Dantian Theories
Tiziana Andina
Translated by Natalia
Iacobelli
Drawing on the philosophies
of art developed by the
continental authors and
studies of Anglo-American
philosophers, this book
presents a panorama of
the philosophy of art. It discusses definitions
offered from the analytical school including
Arthur Danto’s representationalism,
Dipert’s theories of artefactualism, Dickie’s
institutional and procedural theories and
Levinson’s historical and cultural theories.
The result is not only a presentation of
philosophy of art from the beginning of the
twentieth century to present day, but a study
that proposes a theory capable of synthesizing
the finest contributions of the analytic and
continental traditions.

Scholars from aesthetics,
bioethics and ontology
examine how the notion of
life has made its way into
contemporary philosophical
discussions. They identify
three main themes: the shift toward
biological and technological views of life,
altering Dilthey and Nietzsche’s emphasis
on historical life over biological life; the
relationship between biopolitics and political
liberalism and the re-emergence of the idea
of life - so important for the traditional lifephilosophers -in recent discussions about care
of the self, existential gratitude skepticism
and the emotions. Anticipating new directions
of philosophical thinking, this study restores
a vital school of thought to crucial discussions
about the dangers of contemporary politics
and the threat of new technologies.

“Jukka Mikkonen contributes a welcome new
voice, at once meticulous and creative, to
contemporary discussion of what has become

The Cognitive Value of Philosophical Fiction
intentionalist semantics is shown to be capable of
taking significant account both of characteristically
literary uses of language and of literary activity as
a range of social practices. In part through seeking to defuse the
well-known objections, Mikkonen uses this semantics to develop a
powerful case for a nuanced version of the claim that certain forms
of imaginative literature offer genuine and distinctive cognitive
gains, with particular attention to how it is that they do so.” Martin

Art, Language and Figure

Excursions in Hyper-Dialectic
Rajiv Kaushik
This study identifies and explores the problem
of relating language and art. To understand the
relationship, Rajiv Kaushik places it in the broader
context of Merleau-Ponty’s later thoughts. He closely
examines Merleau-Ponty’s “figured” philosophy and
hyper-dialecticism, using them to trace art and
language back to a common root. Drawing on the
thought of Saussure and Ricoeur, Kaushik shows
how autofiguration connects to the common matrix of language and
the work of art. He responds to the objections that Merleau-Ponty’s
approach is anti-structuralist and ignorant of issues internal to the
work of art by revealing its relevance to Heidegger, Gadamer and the
project of hermeneutics.

Comprising Erasmus’s “The Free Will” and
Luther’s “The Bondage of the Will”, Discourse
on Free Will is a landmark text in the
history of Protestantism. Encapsulating the
perspective on free will of two of the most
important figures in the history of Christianity,
it remains to this day a powerful, thoughtprovoking and timely work.
Desiderius Eramsus (1466/9-1536) was the most
renowned scholar of his age, a celebrated humanist
and Classicist, and the first teacher of Greek at
Cambridge.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) was the founder of
the German Reformation. His 95 Theses became a
manifesto for reform of the Catholic Church and led
to his being tried for heresy.

The Evolving God
Charles Darwin on the
Naturalness of Religion
J. David Pleins
In focusing on the story
of Darwin’s religious
doubts, scholars too often
overlook Darwin’s positive
contribution to the study
of religion. J. David
Pleins traces Darwin’s
journey in five steps. He
begins with Darwin’s global voyage, where
his encounter with religious and cultural
diversity transformed his understanding
of religion. Next, we follow Darwin as his
doubts about traditional biblical religion
take root, affecting his career choice and
marriage to Emma Wedgwood. Pleins then
examines Darwin’s secret notebooks as he
searches for a materialist theory of religion.
Finally, he considers Darwin’s later reflections
on the religion question, as he wrestled
with whether his views led to atheism,
agnosticism, or a new kind of theism.

The Gita is a central text in Hindu traditions,
and commentaries on it express a range of
philosophical-theological positions. Two of the
most significant commentaries are by Sankara,
the founder of the Advaita or Non-Dualist
system of Vedic thought and by Ramanuja,
the founder of the Visistadvaita or Qualified
Non-Dualist system. Their commentaries offer
rich resources for the conceptualization and
understanding of divine reality, the human
self, being, the relationship between God
and human, and the moral psychology of
action and devotion. This book approaches
their commentaries through a study of the
interaction between the abstract atman
(self) and the richer conception of the human
person. Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad is Professor of

The Iconic Imagination
Douglas Hedley
Why is beauty consoling? The theistic religions
assume a link between beauty, goodness
and truth, all of which are viewed as Divine
attributes. Creative fictions of great artistic
beauty aspire to a certain truthfulness. A
work of the imagination may deepen or purify
our emotions such that we gain a clearer
understanding of reality. Beauty is consoling
because it resolves the contradictions of
experience; art can be a conduit to a supreme
transcendent unity. The Iconic Imagination is
both a reflection on the redemptive potential
of art, and an investigation of the traditions
of occidental Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism
and Islam in their confrontations with the
particular power of art to represent the
transcendent.
Douglas Hedley is Reader in Hermeneutics and

articulate, fair, and shows
impressive familiarity with
the relevant literature.
Mikel Burley clearly
brings out the value of
D. Z. Phillips’ influential
Wittgensteinian approach to the philosophy
of religion without ever denying or ignoring
its weaknesses. This is a sympathetic
and reliable guide to an enormous and
controversial body of work.” Duncan Richter,
Professor of Philosophy, Virginia Military
Institute, USA
Mikel Burley elucidates and critically
examines the work of these two philosophers
in relation to various aspects of religion,
including ritual, mystical experience,
faith and reason, realism and non-realism,
conceptions of eternal life, and the use of
literature as a resource for the contemplation
of religious and non-religious beliefs.

Excursions with Kierkegaard
Others, Goods, Death, Final Faith
Edward F. Mooney
Noted Kierkegaard scholar
Edward Mooney guides
the reader through the
major themes of the Danish
philosopher’s life and thought.
Each chapter frames a striking
issue, usually encapsulated
in a short passage from
Kierkegaard, and pursues it directly and deeply.
The book follows and re-animates Kierkegaard’s
brilliant and humorous discussions of death and
authenticity, of the maternal and paternal in
faith and self-transformations, of self-deception
and obsessive judgmentalism, of love and the
search for stable centers, of subjectivity as
refinement of responsiveness to others, the
world, and all we can value. Mooney’s aim is to
bring his matchless impulse and aspiration once
more alive.

Free Will
2nd
edition
Sourcehood and its Alternatives
Kevin Timpe
Contemporary debates on free will are numerous
and multifaceted. According to compatibilists, it
is possible for an agent to be determined in all her
choices and actions and still be free. Incompatibilists,
on the other hand, think that the existence of free
will is incompatible with the truth of determinism.
There are also two dominant conceptions of the
nature of free will. According to the first, it is
primarily a function of being able to do otherwise than one in fact
does. The second approach focuses on issues of sourcehood, holding
that free will is primarily a function of an agent being the source of
her actions in a particular way. This book guides the student through
all these debates, demarcating the different conceptions of free will
and exploring the relationships between them.
Kevin Timpe is Professor of Philosophy at Northwest Nazarene University, USA,
and former Templeton Research Fellow at St. Peter’s College, University of
Oxford, UK.
The Place of God and the God of Place
in Philosophy and Theology
Nick Trakakis
RELIGION
RELIGION
PlACe of God
and the God
of PlACe IN
PhIloSoPhy
ANd TheoloGy
The tendency after the scientific revolution of
the seventeenth century has been for ‘place’ (the
landscapes and dwellings that make meaningful social
life possible) to be assimilated to objective ‘space’
(a homogenous, mappable territory). The past three
centuries in the West have therefore witnessed
the neglect, if not the active suppression of place,
especially in science and philosophy. To redress this,
Trakakis develops a dynamic understanding of place that opens up the
way for a new understanding of God. In contrast with both the overly
anthropomorphic view of God prevalent in contemporary philosophy of
religion, and the highly metaphysical strands of Christian theology, a
model of divinity is proposed that sees God as at once below (earthbound) and beyond (incomprehensible). NICK TRAKAKIS

Cross-cultural Comparisons between Views of Human Nature
in Greek and Shakespearean tragedy and the Mahabharata
and Bhagavadgita
Lourens Minnema
TRAGIC VIEWS
OF THE
HUMAN
CONDITION
Tragic views of the human condition are primarily
embedded in stories. Only afterwards are these
tragic views of the human condition expounded
in theories of tragedy and in philosophical
anthropologies. In the West, these stories constitute
a specific narrative genre: ‘tragedy’. Minnema
identifies embedded views of human nature in stories
– issues such as coping with evil, suffering, loss,
death, power, gender, injustice, fate, freedom – and explores them
first in terms of their particular settings before comparing them crossculturally. Thus, each chapter represents one set of aspects of tragedy,
studied in a comparative context. In the end, the underlying question
is: are Indian views of human nature very different from the Western
perspective?

God and Evidence
Problems for Theistic Philosophers
Rob Lovering
God and Evidence presents a new set of compelling
problems for theistic philosophers. The problems
pertain to three types of theistic philosopher, which
Lovering defines here as ‘theistic inferentialists,’
‘theistic non-inferentialists,’ and ‘theistic fideists.’ Lovering argues that each type of theistic philosopher
faces a problem unique to his type and that they
all share two particular problems. Some of these
problems take us down an entirely new discursive path; others down a
new discursive path branching off from an old one. Lourens Minnema is Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies at VU University,

Non-dualism in Eckhart,
Julian of Norwich and
Traherne
A Theopoetic Reflection
Charlton James
The words ‘me,’ ‘mine,’
‘you,’ ‘yours,’ can mislead
us into feeling separate
from other people. This
book is an exhilarating
contribution to the
spirituality of non-duality
or non-separation. Meister
Eckhart, Mother Julian of
Norwich and Thomas Traherne are interpreted
as ‘theopoets’ of the body/soul who share
a moderate non-dualism. Charlton draws on
poetry, theology and philosophy to perceive
fresh connections. The concept of non-duality
is basic to much of Asian religion. On the
other hand, Christianity has usually ignored
its own non-dual roots. This text contributes
to a recovery, in the West, of the vital,
unifying power of non-dual awareness and
connectedness.
James Charlton is a poet and theological writer
with an interest in transformative spiritual
knowledge and experience, across traditions.

Pluralism
The Future of Religion
Kenneth Rose
Theology of religions has
defaulted in the last two
decades to an epicyclic
inclusivism which seeks to
undermine pluralism with
claims that it is covertly
triumphalistic and that
it mirrors the logic of
exclusivism. With the exception of pioneers in
the field such as John Hick and Paul Knitter,
most major figures in this theological field
have retreated from pluralism and promote
versions of particularism and inclusivism.
Pluralism: The Future of Religion argues for
an apophatic pluralism that is motivated by
the insight that it is impossible to secure
universal assent for changeable bodies of
religious teachings. These conclusions point
us inevitably toward pluralism and lead us out
of the inclusivistic impasse of contemporary
theology in religions.
Kenneth Rose is Professor of Philosophy and
Religious Studies at Christopher Newport University,

Religion and Revelation
after Auschwitz
Essays on Catholic Philosophy
Balazs M. Mezei
Following such authors as
A. Dulles, R. Swinburne,
or K. Ward, Balazs
Mezei investigates some
of the main problems of
revelation and connects
them to the general
problem of religion today.
Religion is considered in the perspective of
the age “after Auschwitz”, an expression
coined by Hans Jonas and further elaborated
by J. B. Metz. Mezei develops the insights
of these philosophers and investigates
various aspects of religion and revelation
“after Auschwitz”: contemporary theistic
philosophy, phenomenology, art, mysticism,
and the question of university education
today. A fascinating amalgam of subjects and
approaches, Religion and Revelation After
Auschwitz is an important contribution to
contemporary discussions on the possibility of
Catholic philosophy.

Free Will in Philosophical
Theology takes the most
recent philosophical work
on free will and uses it
to elucidate and explore
theological doctrines
involving free will. Rather
than being a work of natural
theology, it is a work in what has been called
clarification – using philosophy to understand,
develop, systematize, and explain theological
claims without first raising the justification
for holding the theological claims that one is
working with. Timpe’s aim is to show how a
particular philosophical account of the nature
of free will – an account known as source
incompatibilism – can help us understand a
range of theological doctrines.

The notion that hell is
everlasting and also a
place of unending suffering
inevitably gives rise to
the following question
for theists: how could an
omnipotent, all-good and
all-loving God allow anyone
to suffer the torments of hell for eternity?
There have been several attempts to shore
up the doctrine of hell in the face of this
problem.
Love focuses on ‘universalist’ attempts to
face the problem and, in particular, on three
contemporary philosophers who defend
universal salvation: John Hick, Thomas Talbott
and Marilyn McCord Adams. She argues that
they fail in their attempts to make a plausible
case for universalism. One of her chief
criticisms is that there is significant tension
between their universalist accounts and the
value of human freedom.

The Moral Argument
Paul Copan and
Mark D. Linville
The Moral Argument offers
a wide-ranging defense of
the necessary connection
between God and objective
moral values, moral duties,
proper function, and human
rights. It presents several
versions of the moral argument for God’s
existence; a survey of the history of the
argument, including the more recent work
of Robert Adams, John Hare, John Rist, and
others; an assessment of competing metaethical views that attempt to ground or
explain ethics; a defense of moral knowledge;
and an assessment of the Euthyphro Dilemma
(and related objections) for any theistic
conception of moral values.

William A. Lauinger
Character, Judgment, and the Ethics of
Reading the Bible
Stuart Lasine
“In Well-Being and Theism,
William Lauinger defends
a new and provocative
theory of human well-being
– the desire-perfectionist
view. His account draws
on insights from the
objective list and desirefulfillment traditions, while challenging
key assumptions of these views ... As his
argument progresses, Lauinger introduces
several distinctions which will be of interest
to all theorists of well-being. He also
connects the well-being debate to recent
developments in psychology, metaethics,
and the philosophy of religion. Full of
examples from everyday life, Lauinger’s
volume is a pleasure to read and a welcome
contribution to the well-being debate.”
Christopher M. Rice, Professor of Philosophy,
Fordham University, USA
Issues involving ‘character’
have been the object of
increasing interest and
debate in recent years.
Social psychologists
attempt to determine
the role of character as a
cause of human behavior,
moral philosophers explore the significance
of character for understanding ethics and
virtue, and literary scholars investigate the
depiction of character in narrative. Weighing
Hearts represents the first serious attempt
to integrate all these approaches in order to
gain a deeper and more precise understanding
of how readers evaluate characters in biblical
narrative. While the primary focus is on the
Hebrew Bible, the author also includes several
comparative analyses involving other ancient
and modern literary works.

Delusions in Pursuit of Theory

This ambitious book is
written in reaction to the
so-called ‘rigour’ that
pervades much of today’s
scientific research and
practice. Taking examples
from across the natural
and social sciences, the authors examine the
deep-seated assumptions that underpin the
discovery of knowledge. They claim that all
scientific methods are delusions in pursuit
of theory. Their controversial argument uses
Systems Theory, and in particular the concept
of self-reference. For them, the very process
of observing must mask the underlying
delusions, tricking the human mind into
developing a self-consistent description of
itself.

New research into human and animal
consciousness, a heightened awareness of
the methods and consequences of intensive

welfare and ecology are among the factors
that have made our relationship to animals
an area of burning interest in contemporary

include: scientific vs. non-scientific ways of
describing human and animal behaviour; the
ethics of eating particular animal species; the
concept of dignity; and the question whether
non-human animals can use language.

Robert Holmes is one of the leading
proponents of nonviolence in the United

brings together his best essays on the topic,
both classic works and more obscure pieces,
as well as several important essays that have

aspect of reality is more in need of ethical
thinking and reform than the culture of war
and violence that cannot be ignored.

Philippa Foot’s
Moral Thought
John Hacker-Wright
Philippa Foot (1920-2010) is widely regarded
as one of the most important Anglophone
moral philosophers of the 20th century. This
book represents the first comprehensive
and accessible introduction to Foot’s work.
It offers a complete chronological and
thematic overview, emphasising the role Foot
played in the development of contemporary
virtue ethics. It situates her thought in the
context of the historical development of
analytic moral philosophy and discusses the
various objections to her views. John HackerWright argues that there is a coherent,
systematic moral perspective throughout
Foot’s work that she does not make fully
explicit.
John Hacker-Wright is Assistant Professor of
Philosophy at the University of Guelph, Canada.

bestseller
“Fiala explores the
relation between the
public and the private, the
state and the individual,
and war and peace with
philosophical rigor and
clarity. His writing is
superb, and the views he
defends demand to be taken seriously. This
is an urgent and important contribution to

human condition – a condition marked as
much by violence and atrocity as it is by
acts of kindness and generosity.” J. Jeremy

Global health is arguably the most pressing
issue facing humanity. This volume offers
a foundational study of these urgent and
challenging problems, combining critical
analysis with practically focused policy
contributions. The contributors span the
fields of ethics, human rights, international
relations, law and global politics. They
address normative questions relating to
justice, equity and inequality, and practical
questions regarding multi-organizational
cooperation, global governance and
international relations.

Psychologies of Mind
Maze restores the rigour

Bioscience and the
Good Life
Families – Beyond the
Nuclear Ideal
Edited by Daniela Cutas
and Sarah Chan
That children should be
conceived naturally, born
to and raised by their
two young, heterosexual,
married to each other,
genetic parents; all these
elements converge towards
the ideal of the nuclear family.
This book examines, through a multidisciplinary lens, the possibilities offered by
relationships and family forms that challenge
the nuclear family ideal, and some of the
arguments that recommend or disqualify
these as legitimate units in our societies.

Iain Brassington
The field of biotechnology
has provided us with radical
revisions and reappraisals of
the nature and possibilities
of our biological existence.
Yet beyond its immediate
utility, does a life that is
healthier, longer, or freer
from disease make us ‘better’ or more moral
people?
Bioscience and the Good Life explores the
complex relationship between modern
biosciences and human flourishing, their
sympathies and schisms, and the instances
of their reconciliation. Here cognitive
enhancement, longevity, and the spectacle of
excellence in sports, are examined within the
context of what constitutes a life well lived.

Bloomsbury Ethics
Bloomsbury Ethics is a series of books written to help students explore, engage with and master key topics in contemporary ethics and moral
philosophy.
Autonomy
Intuitionism
Andrew Sneddon
David Kaspar
Philosophers have various reasons to be interested
in individual autonomy. Individual self-rule is widely
recognized to be important. But what, exactly, is
autonomy? In what ways is it important? And just how
important is it? This book summarizes the attempts
made by philosophers in the late 20th century to
describe autonomy, providing an introduction to
contemporary philosophical thought about the
nature and significance of individual self-rule. Self-rule is divided
into autonomy of choice and autonomy of persons. Unlike in most
philosophical treatments of autonomy, Andrew Sneddon connects
autonomy to empirical study of the psychology of action. The book
presents the significance of self-rule through examination of political
liberalism and paternalism.
Throughout modern history philosophers have
tried to construct elaborate moral systems to
determine what’s right. Recently, however, some
have revived the position that we have intuitive
knowledge of right and wrong. In this book, David
Kaspar introduces and explores the perspective
known as ‘Intuitionism’. Charting intuitionism’s fall
in the twentieth century and its recent resurgence,
Kaspar looks at the intuitionist approach to the most important topics
in ethics, from moral knowledge to intrinsically good moral action.
The book defends intuitionism against criticisms from competing
metaethical schools, such as moral nihilism and ethical naturalism. It
also takes on normative rivals, such as utilitarianism, Kantianism, and
virtue ethics.

Canada.

Moral Realism
Kevin DeLapp
Are moral values objective
or are they relative to
different cultural contexts
and traditions? Moral
Realism introduces students
to contemporary debates
concerning moral realism,
including issues related to
ethical naturalism, moral epistemology, moral
motivation, cultural pluralism and moral
disagreement. In the context of examining
and connecting these different debates,
the book presents its own unique form of
moral realism according to which values
may be belief-independent while also being
characterized by an ontological pluralism
that generates incommensurable moral
disagreements and ‘tragic’ dilemmas.

Nafsika Athanassoulis
Exploring how contemporary
moral philosophy has tackled
the issue of ‘character’,
this is an accessible and
comprehensive introduction
to virtue ethics. Looking
back to Aristotle and
considering the work of key
contemporary thinkers such as MacIntyre and
McDowell, Virtue Ethics critically explores
the historical development of the field and
competing accounts within it. From here,
the book goes on to defend an Aristotelian
account of virtue ethics that emphasizes
moral perception and practical wisdom and
explore the potential use of this approach
in medical ethics and other areas of applied
ethics. In its final section, the book also
explores new challenges and insights from
psychology and potential future directions in
virtue ethics.
Nafsika Athanassoulis is currently an independent
researcher and has previously taught at Keele
University and the University of Leeds, UK.

Austin Dacey
Philosophy and Political Action
Oliver Feltham
“The world of blasphemy
and religious conflict
studies is in something
of a constant whirl. Not
only are contemporary
situations constantly
changing but the
implications from them so
often make us revisit the historical account
of why blasphemy endures and persists
into the modern world … Austin Dacey’s
excellent The Future of Blasphemy gives
us indispensible insight into both of these
processes. Without such observation and
knowledge, our attempts to think about
and resolve such conflicts are potentially
doomed to failure.” D
avid Nash, Professor of
History, Oxford Brookes University and Author
of Blasphemy in the Christian World
“If universally adopted and practiced,
Dacey’s proposed No Compliance Principle
would force those offended, or pretending
to be offended, by blasphemy to fight back
with art, literature and argument rather
than bombs and daggers.” – The New York
Post

The Economy as Cultural
System
Theory, Capitalism, Crisis
Edited by Todd
Dufresne and Clara
Sacchetti
The 1640s are a period
of institutional failure
and political disaster: the
country plunges into civil
war, every agent is naked.
Five queries emerge that
outline an anatomy of
failure, isolating the points
at which actors disagree, conflict flares up,
and alliances dissolve: Who can act? On what
grounds? Who is right about what is to be
done? Why do we succeed or fail? If you and
I split, were we ever united, and to what
end? No mere philosophical abstractions, the
Hobbesian and Lockean models of sovereign
and contractual action have dominated the
very practice of politics for centuries. Today
it is time to recuperate the Leveller-agitator
model of joint action, a model unique in its
adequacy to the threat of failure and in its
vocation for building the common-wealth.
The 2008 global crisis,
unemployment, lack of
retirement funds, bank
bailouts... today, the
“economy” is on everyone’s
mind. This collection of
essays explores contemporary capitalism from
a variety of theoretical perspectives and by
confronting the economy as a cultural system,
a theory, and a driving force of everyday
life in the West. The first part of the book
discusses past and present representation of
capitalism (from Hegel and Marx to Negri and
Florida) along with their continuing impact.
The second part focuses on capitalism as
a locus of power and resistance, and maps
possible responses to the current situation.

Civil Disobedience
Encountering Althusser
Protest, Justification and the Law
Tony Milligan
Politics and Materialism in Contemporary Radical Thought
Edited by Katja Diefenbach, Sara R. Farris,
Gal Kirn, and Peter D. Thomas
Civil disobedience is examined here in the context
of contemporary political activism, in the light of
classic accounts by Thoreau, Tolstoy, and Gandhi
to call for a broader attitude towards what civil
disobedience involves. The question of violence is
discussed, arguing that civil disobedience need only
be aspirationally non-violent and that although some
protests do not clearly constitute law-breaking they
may render people liable to arrest.

These original essays by leading scholars aim to

The book discusses materialism and the different
formulations of the relationship between politics
and philosophy, Althusser’s interpretations of
political thinkers (including Machiavelli, Deleuze
and Gramsci), the resources he provides to critique
political economy and politics in post-Marxist thought, and the
theorization of ideology and politics.

Bloomsbury Political Philosophy
Bloomsbury Political Philosophy presents a series of books that go beyond the introductory
literature available in contemporary political philosophy to offer closer examination of key
topics. The series offers food for thought for students in political philosophy, but also for
anyone with an interest in these dynamic areas of philosophical study.
Democracy
Multiculturalism
Gideon Calder
Monica Mookherjee
Democracy combines comparison of historical
models, from those of ancient Athens and
the early modern Republican traditions,
with a sustained focus on contemporary
trends and debates in political philosophy.
It addresses the relationship of democracy
to other key concepts such as liberty,
equality and citizenship, aspects of political
struggle and alternative economic systems. It
explores each of these theoretical issues via
topical examples, ranging from the smallscale experiments in local democratic control
to national voting systems to international
issues such as the European Union, climate
change, and the possibility of global
government.
Monica Mookherjee considers reparations
for historical injustice as a form of minority
‘recognition’, indigenous land rights and the
toleration of religion and culture. The book
evaluates each issue from the perspective of
moral commitments to equality and freedom.
An instructive text for students, as well as
of great interest to researchers in the field,
the book argues that while multicultural
debates always appeal to values of equality
and freedom, a deeper reason for respecting
diversity lies in the human capability to plan
a life in accordance with one’s existing values
and attachments.

Republicanism
Liberalism
Enzo Rossi
In Liberalism, Enzo Rossi explores the full
range of of philosophical arguments for
Liberal political practice. Along the way he
covers theorists such as Locke and Rawls, who
ground political legitimacy in consensus, and
those such as Mill, Raz and Sen who derve
political principles from moral ones. From
this historical and theoretical overview, the
book goes on to explore how Liberal ideas
can help us approach such key contemporary
challenges as free trade, migration and
multiculturalism and climate change.

David Casassas, Simon Birnbaum, and
Jurgen De Wispelaere
This book offers a systematic critical survey
of contemporary republican political theory
including such writers as Philip Pettit and
Quentin Skinner. It explores the republican
idea of freedom as nondomination and
casts Republicanism as a philosophical
approach with a specific concern for the
political agency of citizens and the political
institutions required to safeguard the freedom
of citizens. In addition, the authors go on to
show how republican principles and values
influence public policy in such diverse areas
as unconditional basic income, corporate
social responsibility, disability policy,
children’s rights and the family, and the
accommodation of cultural difference.

Alan S. Kahan
“Kahan’s Alexis De Tocqueville is a small
gem of a book written by one of the
acknowledged masters of Tocqueville
scholarship. The volume, organized in
an original and elegant way around the
themes of democracy and freedom, is
remarkably clear and concise; yet it
manages, in a brief format, to treat with
insight Tocqueville’s major sources,
concepts and works. It is one of the
best short introductions to Tocqueville’s
thinking and writing that we now have.”

David Hume
new

Christopher J. Berry
In this compelling account of the life and
thought of the Scottish Enlightenment
philosopher David Hume (1711-1776),
Professor Christopher J. Berry argues that
the belief in the uniformity of human nature
was at the heart of Hume’s thought. He
introduces classic ‘Humean’ themes including
the evolution of social institutions as an
unintended consequence of the pursuit of
self-interest, the importance of custom and
habit in establishing rules of just conduct,
and the defence of commerce and luxury.

Think Now
Think Now is a series of books which examines central contemporary social and political issues from a philosophical perspective. These books
aim to be accessible, rather than overly technical, bringing philosophical rigour to modern questions which matter the most to us. Provocative
yet engaging, the authors take a stand on political and cultural themes of interest to any intelligent reader.

Richard Vernon
Against the State
Gerard Casey
“Richard Vernon provides a thorough, critical and
thought-provoking examination of the answers that
philosophers have given to this question. His book
both informs and engages non-specialist readers
and challenges the present preoccupation with
historical justice and memory.” Janna Thompson,
Professor of Philosophy at La Trobe University,
Australia
Should settler societies in North America and Australasia compensate
the aboriginal peoples whom they dispossessed? Should Israel have
accepted Germany’s compensation for Nazi extermination policies?
Exploring recent and high profile cases, Vernon focuses on the issue of
responsibility. Responsibility isn’t something inherited. How, then, can
it fall to one generation to make good the wrongs done by another?
The book addresses all the main issues and arguments and concludes
by arguing for a forward-looking approach that focuses on the right of
future generations to live just lives.
Richard Vernon is Distinguished University Professor of Political Science at the
University of Western Ontario, Canada.

The Aesthetic Turn in Political Thought
Nikolas Kompridis
The growing exploration of political life from an
aesthetic perspective has become so prominent
that we can now speak of an “aesthetic turn” in
political theory. But what does it mean and why
an aesthetic turn? This collection of essays aims to
answer such questions from a variety of perspectives,
to think in a new way about the possibilities and
weaknesses of democratic politics.The book first
outlines the theoretical motivations and historical conditions that led
to the turn to aesthetics. Essays then call attention to the presence
of aesthetic themes and arguments in political theory as well as to
parallels between theories of aesthetics and politics, revealing how
much political theory can gain from making use of aesthetic modes of
thought.
Nikolas Kompridis is Professorial Fellow at the Centre for Citizenship and Public
Policy, University of Western Sydney, Australia.

Politics of the One
Concepts of the One and the Many in Contemporary Thought
Edited by Artemy Magun
This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy
series examines one of the most important topics in contemporary
political theory: how to conceptualize the relationship between the
one and the many. The essays discuss how to reconcile multiple ontologies without
subsuming them to a totalitarian unity. While one school of thought
(Deleuze, Negri) seeks to create a new ontology based on the many
instead of the one, (which, politically, is close to anarchy), another
proposes to understand the “one” as the “ultra-one” of the event
(Badiou). In this groundbreaking work, leading thinkers explore these
debates and offer alternative concepts. Building on Jean-Luc Nancy’s
essay who proposes an ontology of “singular plurality,” contributors
aim to synthesize the one and the many and suggest different ways of
forming collectives, beyond the dominant representative political forms.

The Metaphysics of Terror
The Incoherent System of Contemporary Politics
Rasmus Ugilt
This groundbreaking study aims to provide a
philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of terror,
in particular the political reactions to it, such
as public anxiety and pre-emptive wars, and to
re-articulate the understanding of metaphysics
through a consideration of its political implications.
The book reveals that the key feature of terror is
“potentiality,” that is, terror is always about “what
could happen” as opposed to “what is likely to happen.” Each chapter
begins with an empirical discussion, examining such topics as the
political practices in reaction to terror, the politics of fear, warfare,
sovereignty, and the debates about the state of exception in relations
to anti-terrorism laws.
Rasmus Ugilt is Assistant Professor in the Department of Culture and Society,
Aarhus University, Denmark.
This unique and engaging study argues that the Western concern with
achieving happiness should be understood in terms of its relationship
to the political ideologies that have emerged since the Enlightenment.
To do so, each chapter examines the place that happiness occupies in
the construction of ideologies that have formed the political terrain of
the West, including liberalism, postmodernism, socialism, fascism, and
religion. Throughout, Hegel’s phenomenology, Nietzsche’s genealogy,
and Derrida’s account of deconstruction as reactions to modernization
are used to show that the politics of happiness are always a clash of
fundamental ideas of belonging, overcoming, and ethical responsibility.

Birmingham, UK.

Ancient Mediterranean Philosophy
Arguing With Socrates
An Introduction
Stephen R.L. Clark
Christopher Warne
Although the Greeks were responsible for the first
systematic philosophy of which we have any record,
they were not alone in the Mediterranean world
and were happy to draw inspiration from other
traditions; traditions that are now largely neglected
by philosophers and scholars. This book tells the
story of ‘Greek Philosophy’, paying due attention
to its historical context and the contributions made
by Egyptians, Hebrews, Persians and even barbarians from northern
Europe. Stephen Clark provides a narrative history of the philosophical
traditions that took shape over several centuries in the Mediterranean
world and offers a comprehensive survey of this crucial period in the
history of philosophy.
Ideal for undergraduate students, this concise and accessible book
provides a comprehensive guide to a fascinating period in the history
of philosophy.
Stephen R.L. Clark is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Liverpool, UK.
Ranging from the Symposium to the Phaedo, this is a
concise but authoritative guide to the most important
and widely studied of Plato’s Socratic dialogues.
questions as:
Taking each of the major dialogues in turn, Arguing
with Socrates encourages students to engage directly
with the questions that Socrates raises and with
their relevance to 21st century life. Along the way,
the book draws on Socrates’ thought to explore such
• What is virtue and can it be taught?
• Should we obey the law if we don’t agree with it?
• Should we fear death?
• Can we find truth in poetry?

“This is an extremely important book. Not only
is its scholarship impeccable it forms part of a
systematic rethinking of the Classical heritage.
Rather than looking to the past for either
edification or consolation Ika Willis reworks the
tradition by looking at the ‘Romaness of now’. In
so doing she makes ‘Rome’ part of the present.
Drawing on leading figures within the European
philosophical tradition she has written a work on Lucan and Vergil
that allows for De Bello Ciuili, the Georgics and the Aeneid, to be
read as contributing to a rethinking of the exigencies of the political
today.” Andrew Benjamin, Monash University, Australia

The Presocratics and the
Supernatural
Magic, Philosophy and Science in
Early Greece
Andrew Gregory
This book examines the
relationship between
magic, philosophy and the
investigation of nature in
presocratic Greece. Did the
presocratic thinkers, often
praised for their rejection
of the supernatural, still
believe in gods and the divine and the
efficacy of magical practices? Did they use
animism, astrology, numerology and mysticism
in their explanations of the world? This book
analyses the evidence in detail and argues
that we need to look at each of these beliefs
in context.

Cicero’s Ideal Statesman
in Theory and Practice
Jonathan Zarecki
The resurgence of interest in
Cicero’s political philosophy
in the last twenty years
demands a re-evaluation of
Cicero’s ideal statesman and
its relationship not only to
Cicero’s political theory but
also to his practical politics.
Boethius’ Consolation of
Philosophy as a Product
of Late Antiquity
Antonio Donato
The book focuses on three
topics: Boethius’ social/
political background,
his notion of philosophy
and its sources, and
his understanding of
the relation between
Christianity and classical
culture. These topics deal with issues that are
of crucial importance for the exegesis of the
Consolation. The study of Boethius’ social/
political background allows us to gain a better
understanding of the identity of the character
Boethius and to recognize his role in the
Consolation. Examination of the possible
sources of Boethius’ notion of philosophy and
of their influence on the Consolation offers
valuable instruments to evaluate the role
of the text’s philosophical discussions and
their relation to its literary features. Finally,
the long-standing problem of the lack of
overt Christian elements in the Consolation
can be enlightened by considering how
Boethius relies on a peculiar understanding
of philosophy’s goal and its relation to
Christianity that was common among some of
his predecessors and contemporaries.

Philosophy, Queens College, CUNY, USA.

Jonathan Zarecki proposes three original
arguments: firstly, that by the publication of
his De Republica in 51 BC Cicero accepted
that some sort of return to monarchy was
inevitable. Secondly, that Cicero created his
model of the ideal statesman as part of an
attempt to reconcile the mixed constitution
of Rome’s past with his belief in the
inevitable return of sole-person rule. Thirdly,
that the ideal statesman was the primary
construct against which Cicero viewed the
political and military activities of Pompey,
Caesar and Antony, and himself.

“A scholarly marvel … A massive scholarly endeavour of the highest importance. For such an
undertaking to be commissioned in this day and age is the stuff of which legends are made.”
— Peter Jones, The Times
“One of the great scholarly achievements of our time.”
— Christopher Taylor, British Journal for the History of Philosophy
“The Greek commentators are now being read around the world with an
intensity of interest they have not received since they were first written.”
— Myles Burnyeat, Classical Association News
“The situation has changed radically during the last three decades, mostly thanks to
Sorabji’s projects. The huge corpus of the Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca is now
intensively studied and the philosophy of the commentators is widely recognized as a
crucial aspect of ancient thought.”

Kant on Spontaneity
Marco Sgarbi
“The idea of spontaneity is central to interpreting
Kant’s philosophy and has been surprisingly
underdeveloped in Kant’s English-language
reception. Marco Sgarbi addresses this lacuna by
insightfully and lucidly articulating the historical
development and philosophical significance of
spontaneity in Kant’s thought. This book will be
an important resource for students and scholars”
Eric S. Nelson, Associate Professor of Philosophy at University of
Massachusetts Lowell, USA
“An encyclopedic treatment of this central Kantian theme, a
theme lying at the heart of the critical philosophy that, despite the
massive Kantian literature, has apparently never been discussed in
depth in any language. This is an impressive study.” Tom Rockmore,
McAnulty College Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Duquesne
University, USA

Between Hegel and Spinoza
A Volume of Critical Essays
Edited by Hasana Sharp and Jason E. Smith
For many philosophers and political theorists
today, one must choose between Hegel or
Spinoza. This collection of essays seeks to find the
suppressed kinship between Hegel and Spinoza.
Both philosophers offer vigorous and profound
alternatives to the methodological individualism of
classical liberalism. Likewise, they sketch portraits of
reason that are context-responsive and emotionally
contoured, offering an especially rich appreciation of our embodied
and historical existence. The authors of this collection carefully lay
the groundwork for a complex and delicate alliance between these two
great iconoclasts, both within and against the Enlightenment tradition.

Kant: The Art of Judgment in
Aesthetic Education
Pradeep Dhillon
With educational concerns at the core of her
analysis, Dhillon examines Kant’s argument for
making room for judgment in human affairs, shows
how judgment serves to link knowledge to ethics and
discusses the relation between aesthetics, art, and
the faculty of judgment. Following Kant’s theory of
judgment as it moves from the creation of artworks
to unique instances of judgment, Dhillon explores
ways to develop and refine the power of judgment and represents
acts of judging in light of Kant’s theory. This is the first systematic
treatment of what Kant’s theory of judgment means for all fields of
learning, revealing the importance of education in: an important
contribution to studies of aesthetics in both humanistic research and
educational scholarship.

Languages of Intentionality
A Dialogue Between Two Traditions on Consciousness
Paul S. MacDonald
“Paul S. MacDonald has written a beautifully clear,
deeply well-informed, and up-to-date critical
history of the puzzling but immensely important
notion of intentionality. He seamlessly integrates
discussion of phenomenological and analytical
approaches to the topic, demonstrating their
many points of contact. This book will not only
be extremely useful to students of philosophy
and their teachers as a core text on the subject, but also makes
illuminating reading for professional philosophers.” E. J. Lowe,
Professor of Philosophy at Durham University, UK
This book considers the work of Brentano and Husserl and subsequent
existentialist critiques. From there, it explores how empirical-analytic
philosophers took up the topic and finally MacDonald presents a new
‘hybrid’ account of intentionality that will be a crucial work for
scholars working on consciousness and the mind.

Devin Zane Shaw
In this important study, Patrice Philie establishes a
conceptual narrative of 20th-Century accounts of
rationality, the capacity to formulate and understand
meaningful thoughts. Philie connects eight key
thinkers from both the analytic and continental
traditions: Frege, Husserl, Wittgenstein, Heidegger,
Davidson, Gadamer, Habermas and Rawls. In
elucidating the nature of rationality, Philie shows
that the two traditions as not as far apart as it is generally assumed.
Rationality in 20th Century Philosophy argues that the best place
to begin an investigation into human nature is with the nature of
rationality.

American Philosophy
A Tradition of Resistance
Erin McKenna and
Scott L. Pratt
Born out of the social and
political turmoil of the Civil
War, American philosophy
was a means of dealing with
conflict and change. Placing
the work of present-day
American philosophers
in the context of a history of resistance
through a philosophical tradition marked
by a commitment to pluralism, fallibilism
and liberation, this book tells the story of a
philosophy shaped by major events that call
for philosophical reflection and illustrates
the ways in which philosophy is relevant to
lived experience. The book presents a survey
of the historical development of American
philosophy, as well as coverage of key
contemporary issues in America including race
theory, feminism, indigenous peoples, and
environmentalism.

Richard Rorty
Ronald A. Kuipers
Philosophy of History
After Hayden White
Ronald A. Kuipers introduces
Rorty’s complex thought
through the exploration of
three Rortyan personas:
The Philosophical Therapist,
The Liberal Ironist, and
the Anticlerical Prophet.
This exploration of Rorty’s
multivalent yet deeply coherent intellectual
identity is set against the background of
Rorty’s personal motivations for studying
philosophy, and for pursuing the controversial
questions he did. The book portrays how,
in conversation with the traditions of
American Pragmatism, Analytic Philosophy,
and Continental Thought, Rorty weaves his
own unique and original philosophy. Rorty’s
originality resides in his fresh approach to
interrelated social and political problems,
revealing a thinker who has important reasons
for wading into controversial intellectual
waters.
This anthology of new essays
by an international group
of pre-eminent scholars
explores the groundbreaking work of Hayden
White, whose thought,
beginning with his seminal
Metahistory (1973), has
revolutionized the way we think about
the philosophy of history, historiography,
narrative, and the relation between history
and literature. Individual essays relate
White’s ideas to contemporary art, cognitive
studies, Heideggerian hermeneutics,
experimental history, Kant’s transcendental
philosophy, analytic philosophy of history,
Marxist cultural theory, the Kantian sublime,
and American academic historiography.

Eight Conflicts in the Negotiation of

A Critical Introduction
John Howlett
“In Kerry Burch’s
Democratic
Transformations we have a
unique approach to better
understanding our country,
our schools, and ourselves. It’s a pleasure to read
such a clearly articulated
and accessible work that nonetheless
problematizes many of the concepts,
phrases, and ideas that we often take for
granted. This work reminds us to never stop
considering and reconsidering the terms and
conditions under which we developed as a
nation – and are continuing to grapple with
as we reach for an authentic democracy.”
Deron Boyles, Professor of Philosophy of
Education, Georgia State University, USA
This innovative book proposes that instead
of ignoring or repressing the conflicted
nature of American identity, these conflicts
should be recognized as sites of pedagogical
opportunity.

Rethinking Citizenship
A Theory and Practice of Contemporary
Critical Education
Kevin D. Vinson and
E. Wayne Ross
Are we, as educators,
preparing students to
be effective citizens in
a society that no longer
is? Today’s technological
change means a difference
in the very definition
of society and is associated increasingly
with the possibilities, problematics, and
interpretations of globalization and of
neoliberal and neoconservative cultural
economics, some of today’s most significant
and contested concepts. With respect to
critical pedagogy, these shifts present both
problems and possibilities, specifically
with respect to social justice. What is
meaningful citizenship in an age of separated
connectedness or connected separation?
In light of these issues, Vinson and Ross
brilliantly work towards a contemporary
critical pedagogy and its implications for
citizenship education.

Learning to Flourish
Disposed to Learn
A Philosophical Exploration of Liberal Education
Daniel R. DeNicola
Schooling, Ethnicity and the Scholarly Habitus
Megan Watkins and Greg Noble
Learning to Flourish offers a lucid, penetrating,
philosophical exploration of liberal learning. Daniel
R. DeNicola weighs the views of both advocates
and critics of the liberal arts, and interprets liberal
education as aimed supremely at understanding
and living a good life, as a vital tradition generating
five competing but complementary paradigms that
transcend theories of curriculum and pedagogy
and are manifested in particular social contexts. He examines the
transformative power of liberal education and its relation to such
values as freedom, autonomy, and democracy, reflecting on the
importance of intrinsic value and moral understanding. Finally, he
considers age-old obstacles and current threats to liberal education,
ultimately asserting its value for and urgent need in a global,
pluralistic, technologically advanced society.
Disposed to Learn explores the relationship between
ethnicity and dispositions towards learning. The
authors challenge the tendency towards the
essentializing of ethnicity within multiculturalism
to argue for a more nuanced understanding of
the relationship between culture and academic
performance. Drawing on the work of Bourdieu, they
examine how home and school practices produce
particular attributes that are embodied as dispositions towards
learning - the scholarly habitus.

Rethinking Knowledge
within Higher Education
Adorno and Social Justice
Jan McArthur
Rethinking Knowledge
within Higher Education
argues for a higher
education that is neither a
romantic idyll of learning
for its own sake nor an
instrumental institution
designed to train a willing
workforce for the prevailing economic
system. Instead, using analysis informed by
critical theorist Theodor Adorno, this book
argues that higher education should have
social and economic roles at its heart, and
that these should encompass the needs of
all society. Higher education has a special
role in society as a place in which complex,
contested and dynamic knowledge is engaged
with, challenged and created. The realization
of this purpose challenges traditional
dichotomies between economic and social
purposes, liberal and vocational education,
and theory and practice.

Acts of Knowing aims to provide readers
with a means of understanding the issues
from the perspective of Critical Pedagogy:
an educational philosophy which believes
that ‘knowing’ must be freed from the
constraints of the financial and managerialist
logics which dominate the contemporary
university. Cowden and Singh argue that the
conception of education as simply a means for
securing economic returns for the individual
and for the society’s positioning in a global
marketplace, represents a fundamentally
impoverished conception of education, which
impoverishes not just individuals, but society
as a whole. P H I L O S O P H Y O F E D U C AT I O N

Maria Montessori
textbook
A Critical Introduction to
Key Themes and Debates
Marion O’Donnell
Maria Montessori considers
the origins of Montessori
education, examines the key
themes of this philosophy
of education and explores
the relevance of Montessori
practices today. Marion
O’Donnell explores the
key aspects of Montessori education: child
development; the learning environment; the
role of the teacher; the role of the learner
and parental involvement. Within each key
aspect, Marion considers the implications for
Montessori education, the views of critics and
supporters, the implications for education
today and the implications for research. Each
aspect is considered within an international
context, drawing on research and practice in
Europe, the USA, South America, Australia and
Asia.

Echoes from Freire for
a Critically Engaged
Pedagogy
Peter Mayo
Paulo Freire’s Philosophy
of Education
Origins, Developments, Impacts and
Legacies
Jones Irwin
In this concise and
accessible text, Peter
Mayo outlines some of the
major concepts in Freire’s
praxis. Chapters in the
book include discussions
of the State’s role in
education – specifically
higher education; a critical analysis of the
dominant discourse in education centering
on ‘competences’ and the type of slant
this discourse takes; a study of adult
education through a Freirean lens; a fresh
perspective on the role of social movements
in the contexts of social transformation; a
new analysis of the relevance of Freirean
concepts for transformative research, and
an exploration of educators as intellectuals
and social actors.The result is a compelling
study of how Paulo Freire’s writings continue
to resonate around the world, and of how we
must continue to apply and interpret them
anew.
“In this ground-breaking
treatise, Jones Irwin argues
eloquently for the growing
relevance and significance
of Paulo Freire’s
philosophy, particularly in
light of increasing social
diversity and escalating
political conflicts worldwide. In so doing,
Irwin restores Freire’s innovative paradigm
of literacy to its rightful place as the vital
cornerstone in the evolution of his pedagogy
of the oppressed – a pedagogy fueled by
Freire’s deep passion for life, unyielding
commitment to justice, and unwavering
faith in the capacity of human beings to
recreate the world. An outstanding addition
to the existing literature on Paulo Freire
and his contribution to education.” Antonia
Darder, Leavey Presidential Endowed Chair

Education, Dialogue
and Hermeneutics
“Paul Fairfield is to be
congratulated for having
carefully assembled
in the present volume
some thought-provoking
contributions to the
philosophy of education
by a number of leading
Continental thinkers. This book is a
noteworthy attempt to demonstrate
the special relevance of philosophical
hermeneutics to the field of education
which, when all is said and done, transcends
all merely empirical, technical, and
utilitarian concerns and should be viewed
as a conscientious endeavour at putting into
practice the humanistic art of dialogue.”

“Tyson Lewis offers a remarkable cross-reading
of Freire and Ranciere. His readings are subtle
and his ideas are exciting. If, in their different
ways, Freire and Ranciere stage alternative
pedagogies, Lewis himself stages a confrontation
and conversation between them that opens up the
classroom to new and more democratic theatrical
and political possibilities.” Todd May, Class of 1941
Memorial Professor, Clemson University, USA
“In this book Tyson Lewis provides a penetrating analysis of the
work of Jacques Rancière as it pertains to the theory and practice
of education. The book is an engaging, compelling, highly original
and much needed intervention in current discussions about
education, politics and democracy.” Gert Biesta, University of

Education in a PostMetaphysical World
Rethinking Educational Policy and
Practice Through Jürgen Habermas′
Discourse Morality
Christopher Martin
“In Education in a PostMetaphysical World,
Christopher Martin shows
in a highly elaborated way
how the articulation and
the justification of norms
and criteria of education
can be carried out by
the practice of public moral reasoning. In
doing so he makes a great contribution
to the conceptual analysis of education
(and so to the philosophy of education in
general).” Krassimir Stojanov, Professor
and Chair of Philosophy of Education and
Educational Theory at the Catholic University
of Eichstaett-Ingolstadt, Germany
“This book provides further evidence
that Christopher Martin is today one of
the most interesting and promising young
philosophers in the field of educational
philosophy. His reading and application of
Habermas’ Discourse Theory of Morality
is a bold and important contribution to
contemporary scholarship in educational
policy and will no doubt prove to be
fruitfully contentious over the coming
years.” Walter Okshevsky, Associate Professor
of Philosophy and Education, Memorial

A Hermeneutics of
Religious Education
David Aldridge
What does it mean to
understand a religion?
How should the concept of
truth be addressed in the
contemporary classroom?
What is the proper subject
matter of religious
education and how does
it relate to other subjects and the school
curriculum as a whole? A Hermeneutics of
Religious Education argues that although the
tradition of philosophical hermeneutics has
transformed both educational thought and
the academic discipline of religious studies,
the literature of religious education pedagogy
has paid only limited attention to these
developments. To engage with them fully
entails a transformation of our understanding
of religious education and its importance in a
curriculum of the twenty-first century.

Self-Determined
Learning
Heutagogy in Action
Stewart Hase and Chris
Kenyon
Heutagogy or selfdetermined learning,
redefines how we
understand learning and
provides some exciting
opportunities for educators
in any setting. SelfDetermined Learning explores how heutagogy
was derived, and what this approach to
learning involves, drawing on recent research
and practical applications. The editors draw
together contributions from educators and
practitioners in different fields, illustrating
how the approach can been used and the
benefits its use has produced. The subjects
discussed include: the nature of learning,
curriculum, assessment, e-learning, and
reflective learning.
Stewart Hase is a consulting psychologist and was

Philosophical
Perspectives on Social
Cohesion
New Directions for Educational Policy
Mary Healy
Philosophical Perspectives
on Social Cohesion
challenges the basis of how
we characterize civic bonds
and how we best organize
schools to encourage and
develop them. Mary Healy
argues that metaphors and
social imaginaries often give a framework
for considering our interrelatedness. She reexamines the metaphor of fraternity, used as
a precursor to elements of the ‘Big Society’,
arguing that such attempts to align fraternity
with liberty are mistaken and that equality
plays a vital role. At a time of increasing
diversity of school provision, this pertinent
book indicates the connection between how
we organize school structures and the models
of citizenship we value.

The Pedagogy of Objects
Politics, Aesthetics, and the Project of
Learning
Matthew Carlin and
Nathan Clendenin
The Pedagogy of Objects
attempts to reorient our
thinking about education
toward a world made up of
autonomous objects. This
innovative book puts
forth the argument that
through discussing the way that objects
teach we can reconfigure some of the most
pressing political problems confronting
education today including increasing forms
of institutionality; the often debilitating
relationships that exist between teachers
and students; the obsessive compulsion
to equate education with verification; the
manufacture of self-management inherent to
curriculum design; and the inability to think
vocationalism in a non-instrumental manner;
among other issues.

in the Critical and Visual Studies program at Pratt
Institute, USA.

Education as a Human
Right
Educating the
Postmodern Child
The Struggle for Learning in a World of
Virtual Realities
Fiachra Long
Educating the Postmodern
Child traces the
philosophical challenges
posed by children living
in an information age.
Fiachra Long explores the
construction of childhood
in today’s society arguing
that the postmodern child is exposed to the
public world before its time and he explores
the significance of this public/ private
shift. Issues considered include education,
appearance, space, empowerment,
globality, tactility, talent, and visibility.
After setting the context, each chapter uses
a phenomenological approach to describe
experiences common across computer-literate
children today. Chapters draw on sources in
the history of ideas to critique the situation
described, provide a rich combination of
educational and philosophical theory and
apply some speculative concepts to the
situation of children.
Fiachra Long is Senior Lecturer in Education at the
University College Cork, Ireland.

Principles for a Universal Entitlement
to Learning
Tristan McCowan
Education is widely
recognized as a fundamental
human right, yet the nature
of the right remains unclear.
Is it an entitlement to go to
school, to acquire particular
forms of knowledge or
develop particular skills or
attributes? And why exactly is education so
important that we might defend all people’s
right to it? This book provides a much-needed
exploration of this key contemporary issue.
As well as basic education, there are also
discussions of higher and lifelong education,
of human rights education, and of the
intersection of rights-based approaches with
others such Amartya Sen’s ‘capabilities’.
Mary Healy is a Senor Lecturer in Education at the

Conrad’s ‘Heart
of Darkness’ and
Contemporary Thought
Revisiting the Horror with LacoueLabarthe
Edited by Nidesh
Lawtoo
Conrad’s Heart of Darkness
and Contemporary Thought
includes the first publication
in English of philosopher
Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe’s
essay, ‘The Horror of the
West’. In the company of
Lacoue-Labarthe, leading scholars explore
new readings of Conrad’s text from a full
range of theoretical perspectives, including
deconstructive, psychoanalytic, narratological
and postcolonial approaches. Drawing on the
very latest insights of contemporary thought,
this is an essential study of one of the most
important literary texts of the 20th century.
Nidesh Lawtoo is Lecturer in English at the

Estimating Emerson
An Anthology of Criticism from Carlyle
to Cavell
Edited by David LaRocca
As ‘America’s Plato,’ it is perhaps not
surprising that Emerson has drawn a great
deal of critical (in both senses of the word)
attention. What is surprising, however, is
the fact that so much of the attention was
given by writers and thinkers as varied as
Thomas Carlyle, Matthew Arnold, the James
brothers, Walt Whitman, D. H. Lawrence,
George Santayana, Marcel Proust, Virginia
Woolf, T. S. Eliot, John Updike, and William
Gass. Estimating Emerson collects for the
first time the writing of these and many other
notable writers as they consider the impact of
Emerson on their life and work.

Maurice Blanchot and

Style in Theory
A Change of Epoch
Leslie Hill
“Maurice Blanchot and
Fragmentary Writing is a
remarkable study of the
most extraordinary and
enduring literary figure
in twentieth-century
France. An acknowledged
authority on Blanchot
and his peers, Leslie Hill guides the reader
through some of the most difficult and
exciting writing produced after the Second
World War: his remarks on the imbrications
of literature and philosophy are never less
than illuminating. Any new book by Leslie
Hill is an event in French Studies, and this

The Late Walter Benjamin
Edward T. Duffy
John Schad
Secular Mysteries: Stanley Cavell and English
Romanticism serves as both introduction
to Cavell for Romanticists, and to the
larger question of what philosophy means
for the reading of literature, as well as to
the importance and relevance of Romantic
literature to Cavell’s thought. The turn to
romanticism of America’s most distinguished
“ordinary-language” philosopher is shown to
be tied to the neo-Romantic claim that far
from being merely an illustrator of the truths
discovered by philosophy, poetry is its equal
partner in the instituting of knowledge.
The Late Walter Benjamin is a documentary
novel that juxtaposes the life and death
of Walter Benjamin with the days, hours
and minutes of a working-class council
estate on the edge of London in post-war
Austerity England. The novel centres on one
particular tenant who claims to be Walter
Benjamin, and only ever uses words written
by Benjamin, apparently oblivious that the
real Benjamin committed suicide 20 years
earlier whilst fleeing the Nazis. Initially set
in the sixties, the text slips back to the early
years of the estate and to Benjamin’s last
days, as he moves across Europe seeking
ever-more desperately to escape the Third
Reich. Through this fictional narrative, John
Schad explores not only the emergence
of Benjamin’s thinking from a politicised
Jewish theology forced to confront the rise
of Nazism but also the implications of his
utopian Marxism, forged in exile, for the very
different context of a displaced working class
community in post-war Britain.

Foreword bv Caryl

Mikhail Epstein outlines the
“desirable” disciplines and
methodologies that may
emerge in the humanities in response to the
new realities of the twenty-first century. Are
the humanities a purely scholarly field, or
should they have some active, constructive
supplement? We know that technology serves
as the practical extension of the natural
sciences, and politics as the extension of
the social sciences. Both technology and
politics are designed to transform what their
respective disciplines study objectively. The
Transformative Humanities: A Manifesto
addresses the question: Is there any activity
in the humanities that would correspond to
the transformative status of technology and
politics? It argues that we need a practical
branch of the humanities which functions
similarly to technology and politics, but is
specific to the cultural domain.

Samuel Beckett once wrote that were he in
the ‘unfortunate position’ of a critic studying
his work, one of his points of departure would
be the ideas of the seventeenth-century

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
was the central figure in
the British transmission
of German idealism in the
nineteenth century. The
advent of Immanuel Kant
in Coleridge’s thought
is traditionally seen as
the start of the poet’s turn towards an
internalized Romanticism. Demonstrating
that Coleridge’s discovery of Kant came at
an earlier point than has been previously
recognized, this book examines the historical
roots of Coleridge’s life-long preoccupation
with Kant over a period of twenty years
from the first extant Kant entry until the
publication of his autobiography. Drawing on
previously unpublished contemporary reviews
of Kant and seeking socio-political meaning
outside the literary canon in the English
radical circles of the 1790s, Monika Class here
establishes conceptual affinities between
Coleridge’s writings and that of Kant’s earliest
English mediators and in doing so revises
Coleridge’s allegedly non-political response
to Kant.

Contemporary Caribbean Writing and Deleuze
Literature Between Postcolonialism and Post-Continental Philosophy
Lorna Burns
Contemporary Caribbean Writing and Deleuze maps a new intellectual
and literary history of postcolonial Caribbean writing and thought spanning
from the 1930s surrealist movement to the present, crossing the region’s
language blocs, and focused on the interconnected principles of creativity and
commemoration. Exploring the work of René Ménil, Édouard Glissant, Wilson
Harris, Derek Walcott, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, Pauline Melville, Robert Antoni
and Nalo Hopkinson, this study reveals the explicit and implicit engagement
with Deleuzian thought at work in contemporary Caribbean writing.Uniting
for the first time two major schools of contemporary thought - postcolonialism and postcontinental philosophy - this study establishes a new and innovative critical discourse for
Caribbean studies and postcolonial theory beyond the oppositional dialectic of colonizer and
colonized.

Weakness
A Literary and Philosophical History
Michael O’Sullivan
“A real tour de force
in literary theory and
criticism that relates to an
impressive array of issues,
ideas, and arguments, and
offers much for students of
literature, literary theory,
and philosophy to reflect
on and think through. An important book,
and definitely worth reading.” Zhang Longxi,
City University of Hong Kong
Beginning with Plato and Aristotle, this first
book-length study of the concept explores
weakness as it is interpreted by Lao Tzu,
Nietzsche, Derrida, the Romantics, Dickens
and the Modernists. It examines what feminist
writers Simone de Beauvoir and Luce Irigaray
have made of the gendered biomythology
constructed around the figure of the “weaker
vessel” and it considers related notions such
as im-potentiality, a “syntax of weakness” and
human vulnerability in the work of Agamben,
Beckett and Coetzee.

Blake, Deleuzian
Aesthetics, and the
Digital
Claire Colebrook
Drawing on recent theories
of digital media and on the
materiality of words and
images, this fascinating
study makes three original
claims about the work of
William Blake. First, Blake
offers a critique of digital
media. His poetry and method of illuminated
printing is directed towards uncovering an
analogical language. Second, Blake’s work can
be read as a performative. Finally, Blake’s
work is at one and the same time immanent
and transcendent, aiming to return all forms
of divinity and the sacred to the human
imagination, stressing that ‘all deities reside
in the human breast,’ but it also stresses
that the human has powers or potentials that
transcend experience and judgement: deities
reside in the human breast.

Dante and the Sense of Transgression
Agamben’s Joyful Kafka
The Trespass of the Sign’
William Franke
Finding Freedom Beyond Subordination
Anke Snoek
In Dante and the Sense of Transgression, William
Franke combines literary-critical analysis with
philosophical and theological reflection to cast
new light on Dante’s poetic vision. Conversely,
Dante’s medieval masterpiece becomes our guide
to rethinking some of the most pressing issues of
contemporary theory. His work as a poet culminates
in the Paradiso in a transcendence of language
towards a purely ineffable, mystical experience beyond verbal
expression. Yet Dante conveys this experience, nevertheless, in
and through language and specifically through the transgression of
language, violating its normally representational and referential
functions. Paradiso’s dramatic sky-scapes and unparalleled textual
performances stage a deconstruction of the sign that is analyzed
philosophically in the light of Blanchot, Levinas, Derrida, Barthes, and
Bataille, as transgressing and transfiguring the very sense of sense.
Both Giorgio Agamben and Franz Kafka are best
known for their gloomy political worldview. A
cautious study of Agamben’s references on Kafka,
however, reveals another dimension right at
the intersection of their works: a complex and
unorthodox theory of freedom. The inspiration
emerges from Agamben’s claims that ‘it is a very
poor reading of Kafka’s works that sees in them only
a summation of the anguish of a guilty man before the inscrutable
power’. Agamben’s work sheds new light on these questions and
arrives, through Kafka, at different strategies for freedom at the point
where this freedom is most blatantly violated.

Contagious Metaphor
Peta Mitchell
“Peta Mitchell’s highly
readable Contagious
Metaphor explores medical
and popular beliefs and
practices about contagion
– and the metaphors that
shape them. Reaching back
through the nineteenth
century and then ranging widely through
more recent decades, she shows how
ambivalence about figurative language and
misunderstanding of metaphor itself has
shaped our responses to epidemics both
imagined and experienced. From miasma to
Dionysian frenzy to memes on the internet,
Mitchell challenges our assumptions about
both language and contagion, providing
engaging and provocative analyses of
examples from film, philosophy, linguistics
and literature.” Pamela K. Gilbert,
University of Florida, USA
In Contagious Metaphor, Peta Mitchell offers
an innovative, interdisciplinary study of the
metaphor of contagion and its relationship
to the workings of language. Examining both
metaphors of contagion and metaphor as
contagion, Contagious Metaphor suggests a
framework through which the emergence and
often epidemic-like reproduction of metaphor
can be better understood.

In this original,
interdisciplinary approach
to evil in French literature,
Damian Catani links literary
depictions of evil with
cultural events to chart a
history of the concept in
some of the most important
texts in modern literature.
Beginning with Balzac and Baudelaire,
Catani covers the restoration and the Second
Empire before interpreting how Catholic
stereotypes of the ‘evil feminine’ and new
scientific theories impacted the work of
Lautréamont and Zola. Moving into the
twentieth century, evil is then explored in
terms of the Self, power, knowledge and
politics through readings of Proust, Céline,
Sartre and Foucault. By seamlessly bringing
together aesthetic, philosophical, historical
and ideological concerns to read key French
writers from the 18th to the 21st century,
this study argues why a broader treatment
of literary evils is vital to understanding our
contemporary moral and political climate.

Mindful Aesthetics
Literature and the Science of Mind
Edited by Chris Danta and Helen Groth
In the last few decades, literary critics have
increasingly drawn insights from cognitive
neuroscience to deepen and clarify our understanding
of literary representations of mind. While cognitive
literary studies has reinforced how central the
concept of mind is to aesthetic practice from
the classical period to the present, critics have
questioned its literalism and selective borrowing
of scientific authority. Mindful Aesthetics presents both these
perspectives as part of a broader consideration of the ongoing and vital
importance of shifting concepts of mind to both literary and critical
practice. Chris Danta is Senior Lecturer in English in the School of English, Media and
Performing Arts at the University of New South Wales.

“For most of us, time spent in airports is filled
with inconvenience, discomfort, and often
explicit insult to our psychological well-being.
Reading Christopher Schaberg’s The Textual Life
of Airports is guaranteed to dispel your tedium
and inspire you to join along with him in a rich
foray of cultural inquiries about these colossi and
the complex narratives they convey. From the
canon of airport reading to aesthetic images of baggage, from the
resonances of 9/11 to the semiotic absence and presence of birds
in the terminals, Schaberg approaches airports with a keen critical
energy that will make you welcome your next four-hour layover
in Atlanta or your missed connection in Newark as an opportunity
to explore his fascinating insights. I have sometimes felt that all

Narrative Care
Biopolitics and the Novel
Arne De Boever
The twenty-first century has been marked by a series
of crises in which life’s vulnerability was brutally
exposed. As a result, care has moved to the forefront
of ethical and political debates. Narrative Care shows
that care is also an aesthetic issue: through closereadings of J.M. Coetzee’s Slow Man, Kazuo Ishiguro’s
Never Let Me Go, Paul Auster’s The Book of Illusions,
and Tom McCarthy’s Remainder, it investigates
how literary representations of care are shaped by and have helped
shape discussions about the welfare state and pastoral care; about
the concentration camps and bare life; about Sadism and the realist
aesthetic; and about how the rise of the novel as a genre is related to
all of the above.
