Collections
Palgrave Connect presents libraries with a flexible approach to building an ebook Collection with over
14,000 titles offered in the Humanities, the Social Sciences and Business. Our ebooks are published
simultaneously with the print edition and uploaded weekly into the current collections.
This year’s Religion & Philosophy Collection promises to be the best yet. The philosophy side encompasses both analytic and
continental philosophy, including new thought-provoking monographs and authoritative Handbooks on topics such as German Idealism
and philosophical methods. On the religion side, key new titles cover an impressively wide range of topics, from monographs on Paul
Tillich to theological hermeneutics. Altogether this is a must-have Collection for scholars, researchers and students.

This book is made up
of the lectures given by
Michel Foucault in 1983
at the Collège de France.
Focusing on the relationship
between philosophy and
politics, it serves to deepen
our understanding of his
work and how his thinking
developed.
Bioethicist and veterinarian
Andrew Knight presents
more than a decade of
ground-breaking scientific
research, analysis and
experience to provide
evidence-based answers to
a key question: is animal
experimentation ethically
justifiable?
In this powerful final course
of lectures given at the
Collège de France shortly
before his death in June
1984, Michel Foucault
provides an explicitly
political focus to his work
on parrhesia - the ancient
practice of speaking truth
to power.
This was Michel Foucault’s
sole foray into the field of
contemporary history. His
lectures raise questions of
political philosophy and
social policy that are at the
heart of current debates
about the role and status of
neo-liberalism in twentieth
century politics.
What does Marx mean by
‘alienation’? What role
does the concept play in his
critique of capitalism and his
vision of a future society?
Marx and Alienation explains
and discusses Marx’s ideas
in an original and accessible
fashion and makes a major
contribution to Marxist
philosophy.

On The Government of the Living
Lectures at the Collège de France, 1979-1980
Michel Foucault, Arnold I. Davidson, University of
Chicago, USA, Graham Burchell
"[Foucault] must be reckoned with." – The New York
Times Book Review
"Ideas spark off nearly every page of this book, as Foucault
manages to reinvigorate questions of power and violence
that might have seemed well-worn. The words may have
been spoken in 1976, but they seem as alive and relevant
as if they had been written yesterday." – Bookforum
"Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we
are..." – The Nation
"[Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore
the familiar surfaces of established intellectual coded
and ask new questions...[He] gives dramatic quality to the
movement of culture." – The New York Review of Books
"These lectures offer important insights into the evolution of the primary focus
of Foucault's later work – the relationship
between power and knowledge." - Library Journal

With these lectures Foucault inaugurates his investigations of truth-telling in the
ethical domain of practices of techniques of the self. How and why, he asks, does
the government of men require those subject to power to be subjects who must tell
the truth about themselves?

The Poetic Organization
Alexandra Pitsis, University of Technology, Sydney,
Australia
"Alexandra Pitsis has written a wonderful book that
is remarkable both for its ambition and creativity.
Skillfully weaving together philosophy, social science,
and literary theory, she opens us to the implicit
poetics of organizations as well as giving us a new
means through which to research the lived realities of
social existence. A great achievement."
-Carl Rhodes, Professor of Management, University of
Leicester, UK.
"Pitsis shows how important a part poetics plays in
organizational life. This testifies to the impressive
degree of the originality and creativity in Pitsis' work,
and I am hopeful that fellow organizational scholars will dare to pick up these
methodological tools in further exploring the poetics of organizational life."
-Torkild Thanem, Professor of Management and Organization Studies,
Stockholm Business School, Sweden.
The Poetic Organization explores the inherent aspects of organization that revolve
around poetic processes. This book is a commentary on poetic elements in
organization that are critical to developmental areas of organizations, yet poetics
are rarely given the attention deserved.

The End of Russian Philosophy
Another State of Mind
Tradition and Transition at the Turn of the 21st Century
Perspectives from Wisdom Traditions on Management and
Business
Alyssa Deblasio, Dickinson College, USA
Edited by Robert Blomme, Nyenrode Business
Universiteit, Netherlands, Bertine van Hoof, Nyenrode
Business University, Netherlands
The End of Russian Philosophy describes and evaluates the troubled state of Russian
philosophical thought in the post-Soviet decades. The book suggests that in order
to revive philosophy as a universal, professional discipline in Russia, it may be
necessary for Russian philosophy to first do away with the messianic traditions of
the 19th century.

Comedy, Seriously provides a philosophical
interpretation of comedy and argues that comedy
displays a particular kind of rationality that reflects
philosophical thinking. In particular, that comedy is
defined not so much by laughter or jokes, but rather
the structure of its plot, which is isomorphic with that
of the philosophical argument. Comedy allows for the
resolution of a conflict and the achievement of wellbeing and equality through action that follows the comic
plot. Moreover, such action is propelled by the 'thinker
on stage,' who, as socially and politically oppressed,
contributes to the liberation of all and the achievement
of the good life. Comedy, therefore, establishes the
universal pattern for justice and well-being and allows us to rethink the notion of
subjectivity not as the modern isolated subject, but rather as integrated with others
through shared action and dialogical involvement.

From the Axial Age to the Moral Revolution
John Stuart-Glennie, Karl Jaspers, and a New Understanding of the Idea
Eugene Halton, University of Notre Dame, USA
'Halton has creatively introduced a new voice into the
current pursuit of the 'axial age,' so thoroughly that
readers who will never see Stuart-Glennie's rare books
leave Halton's analysis with a clear understanding
of what until now has been missing from the record.
Intellectual historians are always on the look-out for
fresh, previously overlooked material to reanimate.
Halton has thus resurrected Stuart-Glennie with
dedication and skill.’
- Alan Sica, Professor of Sociology, Pennsylvania State
University, USA.
In 1873, John Stuart Stuart-Glennie elaborated a theory
of 'the moral revolution' to characterize the historical
shift from roughly 600 BCE in a variety of civilizations, as part of a critical theory of
history. This book brings light to the now eclipsed theory and offers new contexts
and understandings of the phenomenon.

and Cosmos * 3. Panzoonism, the Bioticon, and the 500 Year Cycles of History * 4. Islands of

'Advancing Digital Humanities is essential reading for those
considering the future of our interdiscipline." - Professor
Ray Siemens, Canada Research Chair in Humanities
Computing, University of Victoria, BC, Canada
'Defining Digital Humanities by what it does rather
than wrestling with definitions of what it is, the essays
in this vibrant anthology are reports of substantive
engagements with the intellectual dimensions of
technological tools. Each project in this collection
starts from research in a core humanities discipline—
literature, history, cultural studies—and extends its
questions of style, authorship, influence, production and reception practices
through digital means. An excellent volume for those new to the field as well
as insiders, each of whom will take away something of value from the carefully
crafted insights of these essays.' - Johanna Drucker, Breslauer Professor of
Bibliography, Information Studies, UCLA, USA
'This collection of essays is an essential travel guide for anyone who wishes
to venture into the varied, complex and challenging intellectual terrain of
the digital humanities ... a fundamental and unmissable contribution to the
intellectual and theoretical formation of this important new area of scholarly
endeavour.' - Andrew Prescott, Professor of Digital Humanities and Head,
Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London, UK
Advancing Digital Humanities moves beyond definition of this dynamic and fast
growing field to show how its arguments, analyses, findings and theories are
pioneering new directions in the humanities globally.

Musical Revolutions in German Culture
The Cultural Impact of Kanye West
Bailey, The Cultural Impact of Kanye West
The Cultural Impact of Kanye West, Bailey
Musicking against the Grain, 1800-1980
Mirko M. Hall, Converse College, USA
"Hall interweaves music, philosophy, and politics in
this book in order to challenge the reader with the
same 'hermeneutic inexhaustibility' that the author
also verifies in the 'counterhegemonic possibilities
of music.' By exploring the concepts of 'dialectical
sonority' and 'dialectical listening,' even within the
context of so-called 'lower art,' Hall provides a very
original and pioneering contribution through his
critical-deconstructive philosophy of music. The
subtitle, 'Musicking against the Grain,' not only depicts
brilliantly the book's content, but also reflects the
author's endeavor: thinking against the grain." - Mário
Vieira de Carvalho, Professor Emeritus of Sociology of
Music, Nova University of Lisbon, Portugal
"In four steps, spanning two centuries of German thought, Hall unlocks a
fascinating genealogy of musicking, that broad spectrum of sonic phenomena
ranging from listening to natural sounds and composing music to performing
noise. Focused on sound's power to engender critical self-reflection, Hall
masterfully links the Frankfurt School with its romantic predecessors and postpunk disciples, revealing musicking's historical situatedness, its incorporation of
past discourses, and its anticipation of future practices now so ubiquitous in our
digital present." - Richard Langston, Associate Professor of German Literature,
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
Drawing upon the philosophical insights of Friedrich Schlegel, Walter Benjamin,
Theodor W. Adorno, and Blixa Bargeld, this book explores the persistence of
a critical-deconstructive approach to musical production, consumption, and
reception in the German cultural sphere of the last two centuries.
Contents: Introduction: Musicking as Cultural Practice * 1. Friedrich Schlegel and Romanticized
Music * 2. Walter Benjamin and the Dialectical Sonority * 3. Theodor W. Adorno and Radical
Music * 4. Blixa Bargeld and Noise * Coda: Toward a Musical Future Perfect
Edited by Julius Bailey, Wittenberg University, USA
"The Cultural Impact of Kanye West is a much-needed
addition in today's diluted hip-hop cultural criticism.
By deeming West, his chameleon persona, and iconic
brand worthy of scholarly examination, this book
takes us on a philosophical odyssey like no other in the
modern academy." Rahiel Tesfamariam, founder and
Editor-in-Chief, Urban Cusp
Through rap and hip hop, entertainers have provided a
voice questioning and challenging the sanctioned view of
society. Examining the moral and social implications of
Kanye West's art in the context of Western civilization's
preconceived ideas, the contributors consider how
West both challenges religious and moral norms and
propagates them.

The Unconquered
Shakespeare and the Ethics of Appropriation
With Another, Earlier Adaptation of We the Living
Edited by Alexa Huang, George Washington University,
USA, Elizabeth Rivlin, Clemson University, USA
"This thoughtful, imaginative, and generous
collection takes us beyond the simple identification
of Shakespearean appropriation as a field of study in
order to place Shakespeare at the center of presentday manifestations of empire, performance, and
the humanities. Text, author, and reader form and
inform each other in an ethical process, Rivlin and
Huang suggest, that mutually constitutes subjectivity
and ethical identity. Individual essays productively
disagree about the degree of power afforded to each
point of this triangular relationship - text, author,
reader - but communicate an urgent and compelling
need for adaptors, readers, and viewers to reflect
upon what 'Shakespeare' means in each of these contexts and to consider the
social and ethical stakes of each of these positions." - Sujata Iyengar, Professor
of English, University of Georgia, USA
Ayn Rand, Robert Mayhew, Seton Hall University, USA
"A real treat for Ayn Rand fans and for scholars
interested in her ideas and intellectual and artistic
development. How appropriate that these two
adaptations of Ayn Rand's great anti-dictatorship,
anti-communist novel be published exactly twentyfive years after the fall of the Berlin Wall." - Yaron
Brook, Executive Director, Ayn Rand Institute
"Scholars will appreciate the care with which Mayhew
assembled and presented this material. When read in
conjunction with the helpful introduction and notes,
the scripts provide a fresh perspective on the novel,
and on Rand's development as a writer and thinker."
- Greg Salmieri, Visiting Fellow in Philosophy, Boston
University, USA and Co-Chair of the Ayn Rand Society
In the 1930s, Ayn Rand was asked to adapt her first novel, We the Living, for the
theatre. Her first statement against communism, it sold over 3 million copies.
This edition contains two unpublished versions of the play (the latter entitled The
Unconquered), and is the first substantial piece of Rand's fiction to publish in over
twenty years.

PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY
Encounters in Performance Philosophy
Adorno and Performance
Edited by Laura Cull, Shool of the Arts, Surrey University,
UK, Alice Lagaay, Universität Bremen, Germany
'The corridors of academia have been invaded by new
modalities of conveying meaningful articulation.
Performance and registers of performativity now
profile the most advanced cuts of philosophical
presentation - some feisty, some understated and
raw, often delivered with melancholic acuity and
controlled dazzle. Alice Lagaay and Laura Cull have
assembled a number of breakthrough essays by
contributors including noted French philosopher JeanLuc Nancy, that engage, by intricate yet compelling
means, the dissociation between the cognitive and
performative in contemporary thought.' Avital Ronell,
New York University, USA
Edited by Will Daddario, Illinois State University, USA,
Karoline Gritzner, Aberystwyth University, UK
Adorno and Performance offers the first comprehensive
examination of the vital role of performance within
the philosophy of Theodor W. Adorno. Capacious
in its ramifications for contemporary life, the term
'performance' here unlocks Adorno's dialectical thought
process, which aimed at overcoming the stultifying
uniformity of instrumental reason.

Lyotard, Literature and the Trauma of the differend
Dylan Sawyer, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK
"Working with and yet also moving beyond Lyotard's
philosophy, this provocative, wide-ranging and
innovative work of literary theory makes challenging
and timely arguments about literature in relation to
politics, ethics, suffering and – finally - silence." - Robert
Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
'Sawyer's work is a necessary and lyrical account
(and calling-to-account) of literature in the face of
Lyotard's differend. It is both deeply personal and
critically alert, offering a nuanced and sustained
negotiation with Lyotard and his philosophy in
relation to literature, its subjects, and what remains,
after all, unsaid.' — Will Slocombe, University of
Liverpool, UK
This original study examines Jean-François Lyotard's philosophical concept of
the differend and details its unexplored implications for literature. It provides a
new framework with which to understand the discourse itself, from its Homeric
beginnings to postmodern works by authors such as Michael Ondaatje and
Jonathan Safran Foer.

A Critique of Judgment in Film and Television
Edited by Silke Panse, University for the Creative Arts
Canterbury, UK, Dennis Rothermel, California State
University, USA
Poetry and Dialogism
Hearing Over
A Critique of Judgment in Film and Television is a response
to a significant increase of judgment and judgmentalism
in contemporary television, film, and social media
by investigating the changing relations between the
aesthetics and ethics of judgment.
Edited by Mara Scanlon, University of Mary Washington,
USA, Chad Engbers, Calvin College, USA
These essays extend an ongoing conversation on dialogic
qualities of poetry by positing various foundations,
practices, and purposes of poetic dialogism. The authors
enrich and diversify the theoretical discourse on dialogic
poetry and connect it to fertile critical fields like ethnic
studies, translation studies, and ethics and literature.

The Spiritual Dynamic in Modern Art
Art History Reconsidered, 1800 to the Present
The Logic of Wish and Fear
Charlene Spretnak, California Institute of Integral
Studies, USA
"Charlene Spretnak's book is an urgently needed
reminder that a good deal of modern art is informed
by a 'spiritual dynamic,' initially conveyed through
traditional Christian iconography, later through
purely aesthetic and abstract means, that is, form and
color alone. For her 'spiritual' means 'numinous,' a
sense of awe and mystery (the so-called 'mysterium
tremendum'), and she convincingly demonstrates,
with breathtaking comprehensiveness, that a good
many modern artists, however stylistically different,
viewed their work as the embodiment of a numinous
experience, and a means of evoking it in the spectator
... Her survey is in effect a plea for a critical new
spiritual art in a society which has lost its spiritual bearings." - Donald Kuspit,
Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Art History, Philosophy, State University of
New York, USA
New Perspectives on Genres of Western Fiction
This book demonstrates that numerous prominent artists in every period of the
modern era were expressing spiritual interests when they created celebrated works
of art. This magisterial overview insightfully reveals the centrality of an often
denied and misunderstood element in the cultural history of modern art.

Ben La Farge, Bard College, USA
"We might have thought that wish and fear are safely
in one category, logic in quite another. But in La
Farge's absorbing, conceptually engaged, and highly
cultivated compact book, we see that these categories
in truth interconnect in unexpected and humanely
enlightening ways. Similarly, the entrenched genres of
comedy, romance, and tragedy - along with La Farge's
new player, 'mythic fiction' - enter into wonderfully
nuanced relationships as well in this thoroughly
readable, engrossing, and lucid study… A remarkably
rich mosaic that shows us - in short form but packing
a punch - a great deal about the wondrously intricate
ways in which literature is a tool with which we
make sense of our lives." - Garry L. Hagberg, James

Lorenzo Milani’s Culture of Peace
Essays on Religion, Education, and Democratic Life

Michael Grech, G.F. Abela Junior College, University of

"This is a book with a cornucopia of theoretical,

definitely satisfy the classicist and the intellectually
minded. The book honors a practitioner of dialogue,
negotiation, and conflict resolution, but at the same
time uses some of the different experiences in which
Milani was involved to move in the direction of a
cosmopolitan social movement for international
peace." - Carlos Alberto Torres, Director, Paulo Freire

A Levinasian Ethics for Education’s
Commonplaces
Knowing and Learning as Creative Action
Between Calling and Inspiration
Aaron Stoller, North Carolina State University, USA
‘In this insightful and well written work, Stoller
recreates the idea of Bildung in terms of knowing and
learning as creative action. Identifying similarities
in Hans-Georg Gadamer and John Dewey, Stoller's
vision cuts through to essentials. The result is an
original approach to teaching, learning, and knowing
which presents an exceptional corrective to the
increasing demands for educational conformity in
the twenty-first century.’ - Jim Garrison, Professor
of Philosophy of Education, Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University, USA
‘Stoller utilizes epistemology to show how most
schools operate on the assumption that knowledge
is something transmitted from teachers to students—an age-old myth that
continues to harm both students and teachers by limiting what it means to
know, to learn, and to teach. This is a must-read for anyone who is serious
about reconstructing schools for active inquiry and authentic knowing.’ - Deron
Boyles, Professor of Philosophy of Education, Georgia State University, USA
A Reexamination of the Epistemological Foundations of Education
Clarence W. Joldersma, Calvin College, USA
Joldersma applies Levinas's ethics systematically to
the commonplaces of education - teaching, learning,
curriculum, and institutions - and elucidates the role of
justice and responsibility and the meaning of calling and
inspiration in education.

Children’s Bodies in Schools
Stoller challenges the long-held view that knowing is a causal and linear act, arguing
instead that the process of knowing is interdependent, transactional, and grounded
in creative action.

Corporeal Performances of Social Class
Sue Ellen Henry, Bucknell University, USA
‘Sue Ellen Henry is mapping new territory that centers
the arguments surrounding body/embodiment and
foregrounds social class. This book presents substantial
literature reviews that will introduce readers to work
that has been conducted in these areas. It is very
promising, timely, and exciting.’ – Stephanie Jones,
Associate Professor of Elementary and Social Studies
Education, University of Georgia, USA
‘Henry raises new and timely questions about how
working class children’s bodies are interpreted,
disciplined, and controlled through neoliberal
educational approaches to education. Henry’s
research explores how teachers read students’ body
language, and the connections between how teachers interpret students’
bodies and how they interpret students’ themselves. Henry’s investigation into
these questions is a must-read for all those concerned with education and social
justice.’ - Jennifer Trainor, Associate Professor of English, San Francisco State

Contemporary Debates in Holocaust Education
Michael Gray, Institute of Education, UK
Holocaust education is a rapidly evolving and
controversial field. This book, which critically analyses
the very latest research, adopts a global perspective
and discusses a number of the most important debates
which are emerging within it such as teaching the
Holocaust without survivors and the role of digital
technology in the classroom.
Contents: 1. Perception, Knowledge and Attitudes * 2. Intellectual and
Emotional Responses * 3. The Quality of Research and Scholarship
* 4. Holocaust Universalisation * 5. Teaching the Holocaust without
Survivors * 6. The Digital Era of Holocaust Education
Bringing together sociology of the body with powerful examinations of educational
theory and social class, Henry examines how children's experiences of school and
pedagogy are shaped by their bodies and the ideas of social class and class identity
that their bodies carry.

Benign Violence: Education in and beyond the
Age of Reason
Ansgar Allen, University of Sheffield, UK
"We should invert the old cliché: this book talks
Power to Truth, and does so brilliantly... He tells us, in
effect, to stick our liberalism up our holism." - Prof Ian
Stronach, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
"The great distinction of this book is that it is
unremittingly and wonderfully offensive to liberal
piety, that whispering ghost that sighs its sad way
through the instituted wreckage of the education
system. Ansgar Allen's genealogy of examination sets
out education's passage from optimistic or sinister (as
you will) Enlightenment dreaming to the structured
chaos and brutality that today makes knowledge and
its transmission safe for capitalism. If you can face up
to what education has become, read this book." - Dr Roy Goddard, University of
Sheffield, UK
"Allen shows us that the classroom is a dangerous place, forensically and
painfully he very convincingly spoils our love affair with education... Beautifully
written and exquisitely understated - this should be required reading for every
would-be educator." - Prof Stephen Ball, Institute of Education, University of
London, UK
"Brilliantly original and beautifully written....If you think that education should
be guided by such high- minded liberal principles as freedom, equality and
rational autonomy then this book will certainly make you think again." - Prof
Wilfred Carr, University of Sheffield, UK
"This book is subtly written and conceived, meticulously scholarly but above all
it invites us, coolly, persuasively, to abandon what's left of our present faith and
to commit to the serious, difficult business of forging new bearings." - Dr Nick
Peim, University of Birmingham, UK
"Full marks for this critique of examination. An antidote to contemporary
educational platitudes and banalities of aspiration and meritocracy that
sanitise and soothe away their technological continuities with eugenics. A rare
Foucauldian critique combining outstanding scholarship with the incitement
to action. Every teacher, parent and student needs to read this." - Prof Erica
Burman, University of Manchester, UK
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. I loved the unique style you offered,
it was quite different from the usual academic literature I read. ... It is always
refreshing and quite satisfying to read a book that is clear from the beginning
and makes sense. There is a clear sense of rebellion but its great to see an
academic who does not sit on the fence and is not in fear of offending other
academics. It's great to be different!" - Sumera Usman, undergraduate student
Setting education in its political context, this book offers a history of good
intentions, ranging from the birth of modern schooling and modern examination,
to the rise (and fall) of meritocracy. In challenging all that is well-intentioned
in education, this book reveals how our educational commitments are always
underwritten by violence.

Dewey’s Social Philosophy
Democracy as Education
John R. Shook, University of Buffalo, USA
"This is a profound meditation on the most intimate
connections between democracy and education.
Taking his cue from John Dewey's masterwork
Democracy and Education, Shook encourages his
readers to consider how a vital educational agenda
can foster reconstruction of the norms of justice,
moral behavior, and religious belief in a time of
debilitating economic and racial divisions." - Larry A.
Hickman, Center for Dewey Studies, Southern Illinois
University, USA
"In this elegantly written and masterfully researched
book, a leading contemporary pragmatist
investigates how John Dewey saw education as
the 'fundamental engine of democracy' ... I recommend this book highly as a
major accomplishment in Dewey scholarship and will assign it in my graduate
classes." - AG Rud, Distinguished Professor, College of Education, Washington
State University, USA
Dewey is known for education theories to promote democracy, but what is
democracy for? His philosophy advanced democracy as education itself, reaching
higher levels of social intelligence. Praising community or promoting rights doesn't
get to the heart of Dewey's vision, which seeks everyone's good in a social life that
is intelligently lived.

PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE
Albert Schweitzer’s Legacy for Education
Reverence for Life
A. G. Rud, College of Education, Washington State
University, USA
"We now have a book that carefully delves into both
Schweitzer's life and the historical development of his
concept of 'Reverence for Life' in a truly magnificent
and thought-provoking way. A gifted writer and
researcher, Rud is able to synthesize the long process
it took for Schweitzer to have this vision, detailing
the influence of his wife, Helene, and his work as an
author, professor, musician, and theologian. Especially
important is Rud's analysis of the need for ritual and
ceremony in educational situations, which would
apply to even daily chores. Too often we look at the
larger picture of the budget or the building to the
detriment of the small things we do for and with
each other that bind us together. These things should be remembered in any
classroom at any level. A seminal and important work, it will add greatly to your
knowledge as a teacher and improve the way students learn and become a part
of society." - David T. Ives, Executive Director of the Albert Schweitzer Institute,
Quinnipiac University, USA
"No other work provides so clear a discussion of Schweitzer's ideas for
education today, and it does so with clarity and economy.' - Kieran Egan,
Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University, Canada
This is the first book devoted to the study of the thought of Albert Schweitzer as
it relates to educational theory and practice. Rud argues that Schweitzer's life and
work offer inspiration and timely insights for both educational thought and practice
in our new century.

Inferentialism
Language, Mind and Computation
Prakash Mondal, Indian Institute of Technology
'This book sheds a new light on the relationship between language, mind and
computation as conceived of in current linguistic theory.' – Marcelo Dascal, Tel
Aviv University, Israel
This book explores how and in what ways the relationship between language,
mind and computation can be conceived of, given that a number of foundational
assumptions about this relationship remain unacknowledged in mainstream
linguistic theory, yet continue to be the basis of theoretical developments and
empirical advances.

Combining a fresh, previously unexplored view of
the subject with a detailed overview of the past and
ongoing philosophical discussion on the matter, this
book investigates the phenomenon of semantic underdeterminacy by seeking an answer to the questions of
how it can be explained, and how communication is
possible despite it.
Jaroslav Peregrin, Academy of Sciences of the Czech
Republic, Prague
In this study two strands of inferentialism are brought
together: the philosophical doctrine of Brandom,
according to which meanings are generally inferential
roles, and the logical doctrine prioritizing proof-theory
over model theory and approaching meaning in logical,
especially proof-theoretical terms.

An Aristotelian Realist Philosophy of Mathematics
Mathematics as the Science of Quantity and Structure
James Franklin, School of Mathematics and Statistics,
University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
"A short review cannot do justice to the variety of
problems considered and the interesting angles of
attack offered by [Franklin's] realist point of view."
-David Guaspari, The New Criterion
Mathematics is as much a science of the real world as
biology is. It is the science of the world's quantitative
aspects (such as ratio) and structural or patterned
aspects (such as symmetry). The book develops a
complete philosophy of mathematics that contrasts
with the usual Platonist and nominalist options.

An analysis and assessment of Nietzsche's

interpreted as thinking that the mind is embodied and
embedded in a larger natural and social environment
with which it is dynamically engaged.

Philosophy of Action
The enactive approach replaces the classical computer
metaphor of mind with emphasis on embodiment
and social interaction as the sources of our goals and
concerns. Researchers from a range of disciplines unite
to address the challenge of how to account for the more
uniquely human aspects of cognition, including the
abstract and the nonsensical.
Lilian O’Brien, University College Cork, Ireland
Accessible and wide-ranging, this introduction to
contemporary Philosophy of Action guides the reader
through the major views and arguments. The topics
addressed include the nature of intentional action and
its explanation, the nature of reasons, the role of desire
and intention in action, the nature of autonomy and the
possibility of group agents.

The Subject of Psychosis: A Lacanian Perspective
Stijn Vanheule, Ghent University, Belgium
"[Vanheule's] clear expository style displays an
impressive command of Lacanian theory that will
be instructive for anyone who wishes to grasp the
difficult logic of Lacan's project. […] The Subject of
Psychosis may be the clearest and most rigorous
analysis of Lacanian theory in print." – Journal of the
American Psychoanalytic Association
"This text offers an excellent reading of Lacan's
development of a theory of the subject of psychosis
that should serve as a springboard into the practise
of the psychoanalytic clinic today." - Theory and
Psychology
Exploring Hegel's philosophical psychology to uncover
viable remedies to the chief dilemmas plaguing
contemporary philosophy of mind, Hegel and Mind
exposes why mind cannot be an epistemological
foundation nor reduced to discursive consciousness nor
modelled after computing machines.

The Madness of Culture
Louis S. Berger, Private Practice, USA
"Why do we blithely destroy our own futures in the
pursuit of self-interest? What kind of being has an
interest in its own destruction? What if our current
sense of 'normality' were in fact a particularly pervasive
and stubborn form of madness? Making a clear,
well-researched, and often compelling case for this
provocative view, Berger suggests a way to restore
some sanity to our world grown mad. By stepping back
and thinking realistically about what human survival
requires, we can develop child-rearing practices that will
help us heal the malignant divide between our skillful
embodiment and our linguistic self-understanding.
There is much food for thought in this wise book." - Iain
Thomson, University of New Mexico, USA
Drawing on and integrating unorthodox thought from a broad range of disciplines
including clinical psychology, linguistics, philosophy, natural science and
psychoanalysis, this book offers a provocative, original analysis of the global threats
to our survival, and proposes a remedy.

The Problem of Animal Pain
Computational Theories of Life after Death
A Theodicy For All Creatures Great And Small
Trent Dougherty, Baylor University, USA, Yujin
Nagasawa, University of Birmingham, UK, Erik
Wielenberg, DePauw University, USA
Eric Charles Steinhart, Department of Philosophy,
William Paterson University of New Jersey, USA, Yujin
Animal suffering constitutes perhaps the greatest
challenge to rational belief in the existence of
God. Considerations that render human suffering
theologically intelligible seem inapplicable to animal
suffering. In this book, Dougherty defends radical
possibilities for animal afterlife that allow a soul-making
theodicy to apply to their case.
Digitalism is a philosophical strategy that uses new
computational ways of thinking to develop naturalistic
but meaningful ways of thinking about bodies, souls,
universes, gods, and life after death. Your Digital
Afterlives examines four recently developed and digitally
inspired theories of life after death.

A Theory of the Absolute
Extending the Cognitive Science of Religion
Aaron C. T. Smith, RMIT University, Australia, Yujin
Benedikt Paul Göcke, Ruhr University Bochum,
Germany, Yujin Nagasawa, University of Birmingham,
UK, Erik Wielenberg, DePauw University, USA
Thinking about Religion examines cutting-edge
breakthroughs from across the sciences concluding that
religion persists because the mind is primed for faith,
ready to grasp and fiercely defend beliefs that make
sense but defy logic.
A Theory of the Absolute develops a worldview that
is opposed to the dominant paradigm of physicalism
and atheism. It provides powerful arguments for the
existence of the soul and the existence of the Absolute. It
shows that faith is not in contradiction to reason.

Theology after the Birth of God
Atheist Conceptions in Cognition and Culture
F. LeRon Shults, Institute of Religion, Philosophy and
History at the University of Agder, Norway
"A sophisticated and significant exploration of the
implications of the biocultural study of religion;
important not only for theologians and philosophers,
but for all those interested in the role religion plays
in the world today. With a series of entertaining
metaphors, Shults guides us through the ways our
evolved cognitive mechanisms both generate and
constrain, in sometimes dangerous ways, our religious
and anti-religious discourse. He makes a compelling
case that this new paradigm is a profound game
changer that no serious discussion of religion can
responsibly ignore. I believe the same can be said of
this book." - John Teehan, author of In the Name of
God: The Evolutionary Origins of Religious Ethics and
Violence (2010)
"Theology After the Birth of God is a valuable part of any atheist's library. Sun Tsu
taught us to know our enemies; Shults teaches us that gods are not only manmade, but an inevitable byproduct of evolution. This information is devastating
to the concept that gods are real, as Shults shows exactly how they are made,
shaped, and used to the advantage of those in charge. He then takes the next
step of teaching us how to use this information toward the betterment of
society. Shults answers once and for all, how so many people can believe in a
god and still be wrong." - David Silverman, President of American Atheists
Engaging recent developments within the bio-cultural study of religion, Shults
unveils the evolved cognitive and coalitional mechanisms by which godconceptions are engendered in minds and nurtured in societies. He discovers and
attempts to liberate a radically atheist trajectory that has long been suppressed
within the discipline of theology.
Contents: 1. The Gods are Born – and we Have Borne Them * 2. Anthropomorphic Promiscuity

Theism and Public Policy
Humanist Perspectives and Responses
Edited by Anthony B. Pinn, Religious Studies Department,
Rice University, USA
"There is a lively debate on religion's role in the
public square currently underway in the marketplace
of ideas. Theism and Public Policy is a thoughtful
and provocative collection of essays that seeks to
confront potentially contentious issues that arise
from the widening chasm between religious believers
and non-believers in the context of liberal Western
democracies. Truth be told, putting forth prescriptions
for such a multicultural, multidimensional vision of
secularism without much of the cynicism, vitriol, and
invective that has bogged down previous expressions
of humanism makes this volume a very welcome
addition to this emerging discourse." - Juan M. FloydThomas, Vanderbilt University, USA
Does theism dominate the language and practices of public life in the United
States? This volume explores this question from a humanist perspective, and in so
doing it provides insight into the relationship of religion to public policy, and offers
ways to advance a more democratic and secular public arena.

Wittgenstein within the Philosophy of Religion
Aquinas’s Philosophy of Religion
Paul O’Grady, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Thomas D. Carroll, Xing Wei College, People’s Republic
of China
This is an exploration and analysis of Aquinas's
contribution to the philosophy of religion. It examines
Aquinas's contexts, his views on philosophy and
theology, as well as faith and reason. His arguments for
God's existence, responses to objections against God's
existence and his characterization of the nature of God
are examined.
The commonly held view that Wittgensteinian
philosophy of religion is fideistic loses plausibility when
contrasted with recent scholarship on Wittgenstein's
corpus and biography. This book reevaluates the place of
Wittgenstein in the philosophy of religion and charts a
path forward for the subfield by advancing three themes.

Reinventing Philosophy of Religion
Towards a Science of Belief Systems
An Opinionated Introduction
Graham Oppy, School of Philosophical, Historical and
International Studies, Monash University, Australia
Edmund Griffiths, Wolfson College, University of Oxford, UK
People believe in a great many things; and yet most
of us know almost nothing about why other people
believe what they do, or indeed about how it feels to
believe it. This book presents an objective method
for understanding and comparing belief systems irrespective of whether the investigator happens to
agree with them.

PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AND

Interpreting Quantum Theory
A Therapeutic Approach
Simon Friederich, Gottingen University, Germany
Is it possible to approach quantum theory in a 'therapeutic' vein that sees its
foundational problems as arising from mistaken conceptual presuppositions?
The book explores the prospects for this project and, in doing so, discusses such
fascinating issues as the nature of quantum states, explanation in quantum theory,
and 'quantum non-locality'.

The Ethics of Animal Re-creation and
Modification
Karen Bloom Gevirtz, Seton Hall University, USA
"'Exploring 'scientific' writers such as Newton, Boyle,
Hooke, and Locke in the context of well-known and
largely female literary writers like Behn, Barker,
Haywood, and Davys, Gevirtz's ideas are fresh and
new and will contribute widely to contemporary
discussions of science and the history of the novel, as
well as women's writing and culture, gender issues
in this historical period, and narrative strategies." Judy Hayden, Professor of English and Writing, The
University of Tampa, USA
"Connecting the practices of the natural philosopher
with those of the novelist, Karen Gevirtz offers an
incisive, lucid account of the fashioning of a knowing
yet detached narrator within early fiction by women. Women, the Novel, and
Natural Philosophy, 1660-1727 is as astute about Boyle and Newton as it is about
Behn and Haywood, drawing together the prehistories of scientific objectivity
and novelistic omniscience in an original narrative on the emergence of a modern
self." - Peter Walmsley, Professor of English, McMaster University, Canada
"Karen Gevirtz writes with remarkable skill on relations between literature
and science in the early modern period. This is a book that turns conventional
literary history inside out and offers fresh perspectives on technologies of the
observing self and emerging forms of prose fiction." - Alvin Snider, Associate
Professor of English, The University of Iowa, USA
This book shows how early women novelists from Aphra Behn to Mary Davys drew
on debates about the self generated by the 'scientific' revolution to establish the
novel as a genre. Fascinated by the problematic idea of a unified self underpinning
modes of thinking, female novelists innovated narrative structures to interrogate
this idea.

Would it be cool to see woolly mammoth alive one day?
Disappeared species have always fascinated the human
mind. A new discussion of using genomic technologies to
reverse extinction and to help in conservation has been
sparked. This volume studies the question philosophically.

Scientific thinking must be understood as an activity. The
acts of interpretation, representation, and explanation
are the cognitive processes by which scientific thinking
leads to understanding. The book explores the nature of
these processes and describes how scientific thinking can
only be grasped from a pragmatic perspective.

By interweaving Hegelian dialectic and the middle voice,
this book develops a holistic account of life, nature, and
the ethical orientation of human beings with respect to
them without falling into the trap of either subjecting
human rights to totality or relegating non-human beings
and their habitats to instrumentalism.

Sex and the Posthuman Condition
Michael Hauskeller, University of Exeter, UK
This book looks at how sexuality is framed in
enhancement scenarios and how descriptions of
the resulting posthuman future are informed by
mythological, historical and literary paradigms. It
examines the glorious sex life we will allegedly enjoy due
to greater control of our emotions, improved capacity
for pleasure, and availability of sex robots.
Modes of Explanation is the first book in decades to
attempt to bring these conflicting approaches together
and to offer a compelling narrative to explore how the
paradox of 'explanation' can converge.

PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE
Criminological Theory
A Genetic-Social Approach
The Proactionary Imperative
Tim Owen, University of Central Lancashire, UK
A Foundation for Transhumanism
In an age of rapid advances in behavioural genetics, this
book applies a unique genetic-social framework to the
study of crime and criminal behaviour. Drawing upon
evidence from evolutionary psychology and behavioural
genetics, it offers an up-to-date and balanced account of
the mutuality between genes and environment.
Steve Fuller, University of Warwick, UK, Veronika
Lipińska, University of Warwick, UK
‘Fuller is the closest thing to a Foucault writing today
in the English language.’ – Metascience
The Proactionary Imperative debates the concept of
transforming human nature, including such thorny
topics as humanity's privilege as a species, our capacity
to 'play God', the idea that we might treat our genes
as a capital investment, eugenics and what it might
mean to be 'human' in the context of risky scientific and
technological interventions.

Global Modernity
Human Extension: An Alternative to
Evolutionism, Creationism and Intelligent Design
A Conceptual Sketch
Volker H. Schmidt, National University of Singapore,
Singapore
"To say this book is impressive would be an
understatement. It gets at the heart of a matter that
is central to the social sciences and that has been
discussed for a long time. Highly thoughtful and
extremely well written, the book combines a wealth
of insights from a multitude of sources and disciplines.
It thereby makes a major, fascinating contribution to
our understanding of the contemporary world. A must
read for anyone interested in social theory today." Zaheer Baber, Professor of Sociology, University of
Toronto, Canada
"One of the most rewarding books I've read in years,
Global Modernity. A Conceptual Sketch offers a tour de force that can stand as
a benchmark for future discussions of the subject. Its ideas are original and
authoritative, well-formulated, and wondrously usable. The author treats
major contributors to the debate on modernity deftly, respectfully, and
creatively – thereby manifesting a kind of civilized inquiry that is regrettably
rare in academic discourse. Overall, I find Volker Schmidt's book to be one of
the very few statements in general sociological theory today worthy engaging
with seriously." - Donald N. Levine, Peter B. Ritzma Professor Emeritus of
Sociology, University of Chicago, USA
This book introduces the concept of global modernity as a paradigm for the analysis
of the contemporary era. Building on Parson's distinction between social, cultural,
personal and organismic systems, it presents a four-dimensional scheme that aims
to identify modernity's key structural components.

This book proposes a new angle on the controversy
over evolution as a biological theory, creation as a
theological/worldview doctrine and evolutionism,
creationism and Intelligent Design theory as social
ideologies. Rather than presenting a polemic that
will enrage or delight one camp or another, this book
proposes that a cease-fire is possible.

FEMINIST PHILOSOPHY
Queer Post-Gender Ethics
FEMINIST PHILOSOPHY
The Shape of Selves to Come
Gendered Readings of Change
A Feminist-Pragmatist Approach
Clara Fischer, Irish Feminist Network, Ireland
"An original and compelling book. Fischer
problematizes canonical theories of change through
a feminist-pragmatist approach. She highlights John
Dewey's transformation of Aristotle's philosophy
to explicate a dynamic sense of self. This leads to
a feminist-pragmatist self with the capacity to
effect socio-political change. Gendered hierarchies
distorting philosophy from its inception are swept
away in this model of humans in transaction with
their environments. This is a philosophy for our time."
- Charlene Haddock Seigfried, Professor Emerita of
Philosophy, Purdue University, USA
This book develops a unique theory of change by
drawing on American philosophy and contemporary feminist thought. Via a select
history of ancient Greek and Pragmatist philosophies of change, Fischer argues for a
reconstruction of transformation that is inclusive of women's experiences and thought.
Contents: PART I: GENEALOGICAL REFLECTIONS ON CHANGE * 1. Women, Change, and the
Birth of Philosophy * 2. Change in Dewey’s and Aristotle’s Metaphysics * 3. Change in Dewey’s

Lucy Nicholas, Swinburne University, Australia
‘Quite simply one of the most impressive, thoughtful
and careful expositions of the new terrain of
androgynous ethics of the self that arises from
the advances of queer theory, gender critique and
the deconstructive turn in social theory. Nicholas
succeeds in the difficult task of authoritative
exposition of the range of gendered, social and ethical
theory balanced in a discursive style that encourages
reflection, thought and engagement. The clarity of
this approach to thinking gender and ethics, combined
with a fine grasp and deployment of complex theory
in a refreshingly accessible articulation, makes this
a pleasure to read. This is indispensable to anyone
who wants to understand the frontiers of thinking
identity, self and gender today and an exciting challenge to move against and in
transgression of those frontiers.’ - Paul Reynolds, Edge Hill University, UK
Can society operate without gender and even biological sex classifications? Queer
Post-Gender Ethics argues that we could exist, formulate our relationships and be
sexual in more androgynous ways. Outlining a political vision for how a post-gender
sociality might be achieved, it presents queer social practices for a truly gender
neutral world.

Feminism, Time, and Nonlinear History
Victoria Browne, Oxford Brookes University, UK
"In this important book, Browne challenges feminism
to think through the problem of historiography in
order to better account for the 'complex coevalness'
of feminism's multiplicity. By focusing on the
concept of lived time, rather than, say, evolutionary
or geological time, Browne provides feminist
theory with a theoretically astute and generative
engagement with the social and political effects of
temporalization, and in so doing situates feminism's
continuing political viability in the complexities of
our 'shared time' with others." - Victoria Hesford,
Associate Professor of Women's and Gender Studies,
Stony Brook University, USA
Interweaving phenomenological, hermeneutical, and sociopolitical analyses,
this book considers the ways in which feminists conceptualize and produce the
temporalities of feminism, including the time of the trace, narrative time, calendar
time, and generational time.
Contents: Introduction: Why Feminism Needs Alternative Concepts of Historical Time * 1. Lived

Overcoming Poststructuralism
Rawls, Kratochwil and the Structure of Normative Reasoning in
International Relations
Basic Income in Japan
Antony O’Loughlin, Mishcon de Reya
Through the use of a poststructuralist perspective, Antony
O'Loughlin challenges the most basic tenets of International
Relations Theory and deploys Rawlsian ideas of public
reason in conjunction with Kratochwil's conceptions of
practical reason in order to put forward a theory that
overcomes the challenges posed by poststructuralism.

Ethical Citizenship
British Idealism and the Politics of Recognition
Arguing that the suffering of combatants is better
understood through philosophy than psychology, as not
trauma, but exile, this book investigates the experiences
of torturers, UAV operators, cyberwarriors, and veterans
to reveal not only the exile at the core of becoming a
combatant, but the evasion from exile at the core of
being a noncombatant.

Cassie Striblen, Department of Philosophy, West Chester
University, USA
Since World War II philosophers and others have
sporadically and not altogether successfully
wrestled with the moral problem presented by group
responsibility for such atrocities as the Holocaust,
'ethnic cleansing,' racial violence and other great
harms. Skillfully and selectively discussing the
merits and serious drawbacks of some of the key
contributions to this debate, Cassie Striblen defends
a plausible yet demanding account of shared
responsibility among members of the 'white' identity
group based on insights from social psychology
and narrative theory. Her new and subtle proposal
should do much to bring serious discussion of group
responsibility back into focus and sets a new standard for future debate on the
topic. – Lawrence Jost, University of Cincinnati, USA
Drawing on work in social psychology, narrative ethics, and feminist philosophy, the
author presents a new account which answers the standard objections while also giving
practical guidance to individuals who take their group-related responsibilities seriously.

THE PALGRAVE MACMILLAN ANIMAL
ETHICS SERIES
Foucault on the Politics of Parrhesia
Torben Bech Dyrberg, Department of Society and
Globalisation, University of Roskilde, Denmark
Animals in Social Work
Foucault saw the notion of parrhesia (truth-telling) as
the most important factor for how governments could
and should communicate with their people and vice
versa. This important collection compiles and analyses
Foucault's views on parrhesia to shed new light on his
ideas on the importance of truth-telling in democracies.
Why and How They Matter
Edited by Thomas Ryan, Tasmania
This collection of essays articulates theoretical and
philosophical arguments, and advances practical
applications, as to why animals ought to matter to social
work, in and of themselves. It serves as a persuasive
corrective to the current invisibility of animals in
contemporary social work practice and thought.

This text explores the place to locate the cut between
those inequalities for which it is fair to hold one
responsible, and those for which it is not. The argument
traces a thread of intellectual history, identifying a
rejection of strong property rights which we inherit
from Locke, and find in contemporary defenders of
entitlements such as Nozick.

Kierkegaard on the Philosophy of History

Philosophy, University of Tampere, Finland, Sergei Prozorov,
Department of Political and Economic Studies, University of
Finland, Mika Ojakangas, Department of Social Sciences

History doesn't have to mean only an effort to know the
past. It can be instead, according to Kierkegaard, a willful
and personal choice regarding the creation of the future.
Kierkegaard offers us an amazing new approach to the
problem of what is history and who makes it.

Political Neutrality
Meaningful Work and Workplace Democracy
A Re-evaluation
A Philosophy of Work and a Politics of Meaningfulness
Edited by Roberto Merrill, Center for Humanistic Studies,
University of Minho, Portugal, Daniel Weinstock, McGill
University, Canada
Ruth Yeoman, Centre for Mutual and Employee-owned
Business, University of Oxford, UK
This book is a timely revival of the social and political
importance of meaningful work, which explores
a philosophy of work based upon the value of
meaningfulness and argues for the institution of a new
politics of meaningfulness.
The topic of neutrality on the good is linked rather
closely to the ideal of political liberalism as formulated
by John Rawls. Here internationally renowned authors,
in several cases among the most prominent names to
be found in contemporary political theory, present a
collection of ten essays on the idea of liberal neutrality.

Economic Policymaking Based on Respect and Responsiveness
Mark D. White, College of Staten Island, City University
of New York, USA
"Happiness may be our most prized objective. But it is
elusive, hard-to-measure, and difficult to explain to
others, often even to ourselves. White shows why using
measures of gross domestic happiness instead of gross
domestic product are doomed to fail. He persuasively
concludes that governments that respect individual
autonomy will do better in the aggregate than
hubristic governments that use public conceptions of
well-being to override private choices." - Richard A.
Epstein, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law, New York
University, USA; Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior
Fellow, The Hoover Institution, USA; James Parker Hall
Distinguished Service Professor of Law Emeritus and
Senior Lecturer, The University of Chicago, USA
This book will argue against the use of well-being to guide policymaking and in favor
of a rule-oriented approach to policymaking that respects the choices of individuals.

Revisiting Iris Marion Young on Normalisation,
Inclusion and Democracy
Foucault and the History of our Present
Edited by Ulrike M Vieten, Sheffield University, UK
Edited by Sophie Fuggle, Nottingham Trent University,
UK, Yari Lanci, Goldsmiths College, University of London,
UK, Martina Tazzioli, University of Oulu, Finland
Revisiting Iris Marion Young on Normalisation, Inclusion and
Democracy presents an innovative collection of politically
and theoretically inspiring papers by feminist, queer and
postcolonial writers. All authors engage with Young's
politics of cultural difference and a 'politics of positional
difference' read against her critique of normalisation.
According to Michel Foucault, the 'history of the present'
should constitute the starting point for any enquiry into
the past. This collection considers the continued relevance
of Foucault's work for thinking the history of our present
and includes essays and interviews by Judith Butler, Judith
Revel, Mark Neocleous, and Tiziana Terranova.

Care, Uncertainty and Intergenerational Ethics
Christopher Groves, ESRC, Cardiff University, UK
Castoriadis and Critical Theory
Our capacity to reshape the future has never been more powerful. Yet our ability to
foresee the consequences of what we do has not kept pace. Is the idea that we have
responsibilities to future generations therefore meaningful? This book argues that it
is, with the aid of a unique reading of the care ethics tradition.
Crisis, Critique and Radical Alternatives
Christos Memos, Department of Sociology, University of
Abertay, UK
By exploring the concepts of 'crisis' and 'critique', this
study offers a thought-provoking re-examination of
the political and social thought of Cornelius Castoriadis
in light of the current world crisis and with regard to
his radical critique of both the traditional Left and
contemporary capitalist societies.

Truth Wars
Conservatism and Pragmatism
The Politics of Climate Change, Military Intervention and Financial Crisis
In Law, Politics, and Ethics
Peter Lee, RAF College Cranwell, University of
Portsmouth, UK
'Focusing upon the three great global political crises
of our time – military intervention, the financial
meltdown, and the actual 'meltdown' threatened
by climate change – the author provides a probing
and deeply unsettling assessment of the manner
in which competing and often illusory truth-claims
are fashioned by political leaders, governments,
international institutions and demagogues solely in
order to re-shape the world in their image, and to gain
control over the lives of others. Our fundamental
assumptions about what Truth is, or what it means,
are put to test in this eloquent, articulate, and
provocative work.' - George R. Lucas Jr., U.S. Naval
Postgraduate School, USA
'Truth Wars makes a unique and important contribution to the literature
on some of the most pertinent questions in global politics today. Peter Lee's
new book really challenged my own thinking on what I thought was 'true'
in the debates about climate change, drone warfare and the global financial
crisis. I cannot wait to see my IR students engage with this thought-provoking
analysis, which is guaranteed to lead to some heated discussions! Moreover,
Truth Wars not only stands out for its innovative approach to global crises and
controversies. It is written with such a sense of fun that I could not put it down
once I started reading.' - Bettina Renz, University of Nottingham, UK
'Peter Lee provides the reader with a stimulating, non-judgmental foundation
for what can only be classified as the attempt to understand how political
truths become political truths and their impact on the political process of
establishing policy, making decisions that will affect how policy is implemented,
and how it ultimately affects each of us.At least after reading Politics in Crises:
Truth Wars, each of us will have a better understanding of the way these truth
wars are conducted and be better able to form our own truths.' – Bill Powers,
Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, Canada
We live in an age of crises that are global in scale and potentially apocalyptic in
severity, affecting the lives of millions – billions – of people. Peter Lee examines the
struggle for truth at the heart of these crises to show how political leaders attempt
to shape individual behavior, attitudes and identity.

CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY
On the Production of Subjectivity
Hegel’s Discovery of the Philosophy of Spirit
Autonomy, Alienation, and the Ethical Life: The Jena Lectures
1802-1806
Pini Ifergan, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
This exploration of Hegel's critique of the individualistic
ethos of modernity and the genesis of his alternative
vision traces the conceptual schemes Hegel
experimented with to show how he settled on the
concepts of 'ethical life' (Sittlichkeit) and Spirit as the
means for overcoming subjectivity and domination.

Five Diagrams of the Finite-Infinite Relation
Simon O’Sullivan, Department of
Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths College, UK
"Simon O' Sullivan does not
merely offer another theory of the subject. Rather,
he elegantly diagrams contemporary theoretical
treatments of subjectification in order to grapple
with the implications of subjectivity's adjacency
and residuality. He never loses sight of the stakes
for self-creation while examining the parameters of
the relations between finitude-infinitude, desireethics, and subject-object that organize his engaging
interpretations of Badiou, Foucault, Deleuze,
Guattari, and Lacan. On the Production of Subjectivity
is a fundamental reference point for questions
bearing upon mental ecology, and a sourcebook for
thinking beyond the diluted subjectivities available under semiocapital." Gary Genosko, Professor of Sociology and Canada Research Chair, Lakehead
University, Canada
This book offers a series of critical commentaries on, and forced encounters between,
different thinkers. At stake in this philosophical and psychoanalytical enquiry is the
drawing of a series of diagrams of the finite/infinite relation, and the mapping out of
the contours for a speculative and pragmatic production of subjectivity.

A Rumor of Empathy
Schopenhauer and Adorno on Bodily Suffering
Rewriting Empathy in the Context of Philosophy
A Comparative Analysis
Lou Agosta, Chicago, USA
‘Lou Agosta has written a delightful and much needed
book on the evolution and genesis of the idea of
empathy. His deep appreciation and understanding
of the writings of Hume, Kant, Lipps, Freud, Scheler
and Husserl allows him to recognize, explore and
ultimately fashion a wonderfully clear and practical
notion of empathy, one in which we not only come
to know the other as we listen with care, understand
with insight, and interpret with feeling, but also
one in which we learn to communicate openly and
respond with humanity. In bringing together the
skills of the philosopher and the experience of the
psychotherapist, Lou Agosta helps us to understand
the steady rise of empathy and why it informs and
inspires so many modern-day disciplines and professional practices. For all
those wishing to revel in empathy's rich provenance, this is the book for you.’
- David Howe, Emeritus Professor, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK and
author of Empathy: What It Is and Why It Matters
A rumor of empathy in vicarious receptivity, understanding, interpretation,
narrative, and empathic intersubjectivity becomes the scandal of empathy in
Lipps and Strachey. Yet when all the philosophical arguments and categories are
complete and all the hermeneutic circles spun out, we are quite simply in the
presence of another human being.
Mathijs Peters, Independent Scholar, The Netherlands
Schopenhauer and Adorno on Bodily Suffering explores
how the works of both philosophers revolve around
an entwinement of pessimism and optimism, which
links statements regarding the wrongness of the world
to analyses of the human capability to experience
compassion with bodily suffering and to the redeeming
qualities of the arts.

Ted Poston, University of South Alabama, USA
"Poston presents his readers with an original, clear and
sophisticated defense of both epistemic conservatism
and explanatory coherentism. He couples that
defense of his positive view with a formidable,
sustained attack on classical foundationalism.
The book is a must read for anyone interested in
fundamental issues in epistemology." - Richard
Fumerton, F. Wendell Miller Professor of Philosophy,
University of Iowa, USA
"This is an excellent book ... This is a work that anyone
interested in epistemology would be well advised to
study closely." - Kevin McCain, University of Alabama
at Birmingham, USA
In this new explanationist account of epistemic justification, Poston argues that the
explanatory virtues provide all the materials necessary for a plausible account of
justified belief. There are no purely autonomous reasons. Rather reasons occur only
within an explanatory coherent set of beliefs.

Knowledge First?
McGlynn, Knowledge First?
Aidan McGlynn, Department of Philosophy,
University of Edinburgh, UK
'Aidan McGlynn has done us all a tremendous favour
by writing this survey of knowledge first philosophy.
The recent debates about knowledge-first philosophy
touch upon some of the most important issues in
epistemology and related areas, and I could imagine
no better introduction than this. McGlynn has a keen
eye for detail and a knack for tying the details together
into a larger narrative structure. The discussion is
critical, but not dismissive. Proponents of knowledge
first philosophy and its critics will learn a great deal
from this book. I recommend it without reservation.' Clayton Littlejohn, King's College London, UK
According to a long tradition, questions about the nature of knowledge are to be
answered by analyzing it as a species of true belief. In light of the apparent failure of
this approach, knowledge first philosophy takes knowledge as the starting point in
epistemology. Knowledge First? offers the first overview of this approach.

What entitles you to claims about your perceivable
environment? Matthiessen suggests that it is neither
your experience, nor the reliability of your cognitive
processes, but rather your being in the right kind of
perceptual situation.
Markus Seidel provides a detailed critique of epistemic
relativism in the sociology of scientific knowledge. In
addition to scrutinizing the main arguments for epistemic
relativism he provides an absolutist account that
nevertheless aims at integrating the relativist's intuition.

Susan E. Babbitt, Queen’s University, Canada
'The ‘battle for ideas’ has marked Susan Babbitt's work
for decades. In this book, Babbitt challenges received
views of Cuba and of philosophy. She demands that
readers imagine new ways of living well together. In
service of this vision, Babbitt presents the richness
of philosophical ideas in the largely ignored works
of José Martí and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara and then
puts these ideas to work in a powerful critique of
standard liberal assumptions about what it means to
flourish as a human being. The book is a must read for
philosophers, political theorists, and development
ethicists who would like to challenge or expand
their conceptions of Cuba - as well as the meaning
of freedom, democracy, human rights, liberalism,
capitalism, Marxism, 'developed', and 'developing'.' - Christine Koggel, Carleton

This book argues that the overlooked ideas of José Martí and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara
explain recent politics in Latin America and the Caribbean but also, even more
significantly, offer a defensible alternative direction for global development ethics.

Assisted Suicide: The Liberal,

ETHICS AND MORAL...
Now
available in
paperback
This book presents an atheistic case
against the legalization of assisted suicide. Critical of
both sides of the argument, it questions the assumptions
behind the discussion. Yuill shows that our attitudes
towards suicide – not euthanasia – are most important to
our attitudes towards assisted suicide.

Evaluating Emotions
Eva-Maria Düringer, Department of Philosophy,
University of Tübingen, Germany
How are emotions related to values? This book argues
against a perceptual theory of emotions, which sees
emotions as perception-like states that help us gain
evaluative knowledge, and argues for a caring-based
theory of emotions, which sees emotions as felt desires
or desire satisfactions, both of which arise out of caring
about something.

Economics in Spirit and Truth
Love and Its Objects
A Moral Philosophy of Finance
What Can We Care For?
Nimi Wariboko, Andover Newton Theological School,
USA
"Many philosophers and theologians rail against
the neoliberal global economy but fail to provide
any substantive solutions in response. Nimi
Wariboko shows us how to live in but yet not be of
our late modern financial systems. He invites us to
exercise our freedom not merely to participate in
the consumer market but to critically engage and
resist its demands for conformity through an ethic
of counter-predictability. Economists, philosophers,
and theologians ought to attend to this clarion call to
live authentically and (for religious people) faithfully
amidst the volatility of the present capitalist regime."
- Amos Yong, Professor of Theology and Mission,
Fuller Theological Seminary, USA
"Economics in Spirit and Truth builds on Wariboko's previous work, including God
and Money. Here he analyzes the complex inner logic of finance capitalism, and
draws on Pentecostal theology as well as Agamben's philosophy of potentiality
to develop an ethics of antifragility. This is an extremely provocative synthesis,
one that offers tools to think and practice a genuine care of the soul." - Clayton
Crockett, University of Central Arkansas, USA
Wariboko offers a critical-philosophical perspective on the logics and dynamics of
finance capital in the twenty-first century in order to craft a model of the care of the
soul that will enable citizens to not only better negotiate their economic existences
and moral evaluations within it, but also resist its negative impact on social life.
Contents: Preface * Introduction: Economics is not an Alien Monster * Chapter 1. The Idea of
Finance * Chapter 2. Theological-Ethical Critique of Accounting * Chapter 3. The Ontology of
Moral Hazard in Finance * Chapter 4. Faith has a Rate of Return * Chapter 5. The Knot of Finance
* Chapter 6. A Political Theology of Market Miracles * Chapter 7. Care of the Soul: Resistance to

Moral philosophy is no longer being pursued from
arm-chairs. Instead, ethical questions are dissected in
the experimental lab. This volume enables its readers
to immerse themselves into Experimental Ethics'
history, its current topics and future perspectives, its
methodology, and the criticism it is subject to.
Sami Pihlström, University of Helsinki, Finland
While moral philosophy has traditionally been
understood as an examination of the good life, this book
argues that ethical inquiry should, rather, begin from an
examination of evil and other 'negative' moral concepts,
such as guilt and suffering.

Humanity and the Enemy
Are Markets Moral?
How Ethics Can Rid Politics of Violence
Edited by Edward Skidelsky, University of Exeter, UK, Robert
Skidelsky, University of Warwick, UK
Bruno Gullì, Kingsborough Community College CUNY, USA
The book questions the concept of "the enemy,"
beginning with Carl Schmitt's famous notion that
politics is the relationship of friend and enemy and
that humanity is not a political concept. This book
deconstructs this notion and views humanity at the
center of a type of politics based on ethics.

This volume scrutinizes the functionality of a capitalist
market society, which is usually praised for the efficiency and
dynamism, rather than for its morality. It addresses the dualism behind capitalism's
encouragement of greed, which is usually considered to be a moral failing, while
also being a driver behind economic growth.

Making Sense of Evil
An Interdisciplinary Approach
Melissa Dearey, University of Hull, UK
THEOLOGY
When it comes to crime, everyone seems to take
evil seriously as an explanatory concept - except
criminologists. This book asks why, and why not, through
exploring a variety of interdisciplinary approaches to evil
from the perspectives of theology, philosophy, literary
and cultural studies, and the social sciences.
Theology of Migration in the Abrahamic Religions
Edited by Elaine Padilla, New York Theological Seminary,
USA, Peter C. Phan, Georgetown University, USA
"In an age when so many millions of people have been
displaced by war, economic and climate catastrophe,
and criminals taking over entire nations, this book
could hardly be more timely. Its authors bring into
relief the rich traditions of the three Abrahamic faiths
in order to erect a spiritual and theological foundation
for those who seek to open the minds and hearts of
peoples and nations that are given the opportunity to
welcome immigrants. They have given us a marvelous
resource to use in classrooms, churches, and study
groups." - William R. Burrows , Senior Fellow, Andrew
Walls Center for the Study of Christianity in Africa
and Asia, Liverpool Hope University, UK
This book provides an indispensable voice in the scholarly conversation on
migration. It shows how migration has shaped and has been shaped by the three
Abrahamic religions - -Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. No theory of migration will
be complete unless the theological insights of these religions are seriously taken
into account.

THEOLOGY
Colonial Contexts and Postcolonial Theologies
A Contemporary Theology for Ecumenical Peace
Storyweaving in the Asia-Pacific
James E. Will, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary
‘This book is one of indispensable resources for the
Christian commitment to peace witness and praxis
in the present day when there is no peace while
promises of peace are rampant, and when the church
has fallen into the individualistic, church-centric, and
nationalistic civil religion while having lost the vision
of the peace of the Kingdom of God.’ -Chul Ho Youn,
Professor of Systematic Theology at Presbyterian
University and Theological Seminary, Korea.
‘From ‘Father Abraham,’ to President Abraham
Lincoln and beyond, Professor Will eloquently traces a
profoundly moving and inspirational theological motif
that he finds common to all three of the Abrahamic
religious traditions. In this compassionate vision,
God's Love for the World provides the spiritual energy for establishing Justice,
while inviting all of Creation to participate relationally with God and with one
another, in a continuous historical act of co-creation, whose end will finally
be realized through establishing that 'Just Peace on Earth' which most fully
embodies the structure of God's Love for the World. This inspiring vision offers
hope to all, and guidance to peace-makers in fulfilling their mission of faith and
love through establishing peace with justice.’ - Dr. George R. Lucas, Jr. (Ph.D.),
Stockdale Professor of Moral Philosophy, U.S. Naval Academy & U.S. Naval
Postgraduate School, USA.

The Holy Spirit and the Christian Life
Historical, Interdisciplinary, and Renewal Perspectives
Edited by Wolfgang Vondey, School of Divinity at Regent
University, USA
'Nothing less than a new and highly promising field
of interdisciplinary investigation is announced with
the launching of the series CHARIS: Christianity and
Renewal – Interdisciplinary Studies. This inaugural
volume of constructive studies on the phenomenon
of renewal focusing on Christian tradition promises
a research program which considers the meaning of
'transforming dimension of the Spiritual Presence'
not only in other faith traditions but also everywhere
in the created order. A highly innovative and creative
enterprise, this book is required reading for all
interested in the Spirit/-uality in the contemporary
world.' - Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Professor of
Systematic Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary and Docent of Ecumenics,
University of Helsinki, Finland.
‘This book launches a new series devoted to interdisciplinary studies of
Christianity and Renewal, initially by exploring interdisciplinary inquiry within
theology—hermeneutical, historical, constructive, homiletic, and practical.
These studies accentuate the transformative power of the Spirit at work in
communities, and the transgressive power of this Spirit opening new pathways
at the margins. These richly textured analyses promote pneumatological
approaches that serve the interest of renewal movements on a global scale as
they lay the groundwork for a wider range of interdisciplinary inquiry.’ - Brad
Hinze, Professor, The Karl Rahner Chair in Theology, Fordham University, USA.
‘A rich and diverse assortment of essays from seasoned and newer scholars,
this book offers a fresh look at how the Spirit is at work amongst us. Those
who mine its pages will certainly come away with insight and inspiration. An
exceptional collection to treasure.’ - Lisa P. Stephenson, Associate Professor of
Systematic Theology, Lee University, USA.

Erik Tonning, University of Bergen, Norway
"This is that rare thing: a truly revisionary critical
study of Modernism. For the past half century, the
role of Christianity in Anglo-Modernist literature
has been played down as irrelevant in a secular age
- an age looking for "replacement" religions in its
attempted rupture with the past. But the presence of
Christian imagery, iconography, and dogma in shaping
Modernist texts from Joyce to Beckett cannot be
ignored. Erik Tonning shows that, even when overt
stances toward Christian dogma were negative, the
key issues raised by Christian thought could hardly be
avoided. Indeed, he suggests, it was Christianity itself
that helped to shape the particular tensions we think
of as characteristically Modernist. In provocative
and persuasive chapters on Joyce and David Jones, on Eliot, Pound and Auden,
and finally on Beckett, Tonning shows the way to a more nuanced, more just
understanding of the Modernist ethos." - Marjorie Perloff, Professor Emerita of
English at Stanford University, USA
"The author brilliantly sustains a provocative thesis, that the whole field of
studies in Modernism needs to be re-thought from the perspective of the
impact of Christianity on this movement. With a rare ease and expert range of
reference, Dr Tonning combines a sensitivity to the theological tradition with
original research into the modernist writers he selects. In his commentary new
insights continually emerge, and he carries through convincingly his argument
that a movement dedicated to cultural and epochal transformation must
necessarily engage with the cultural and political force of Christianity. This
exciting and erudite study will be similarly transformative for both literary
criticism and historical theology of the twentieth century." - Paul Fiddes,
Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Oxford, UK
By theorising the idea of 'formative tensions' between cultural Modernism and
Christianity, and by in-depth case studies of James Joyce, David Jones, T. S. Eliot,
Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden, Samuel Beckett, the book argues that no coherent
account of Modernism can ignore the continuing impact of Christianity.

The Black Church is an institution that emerged in

How is it, then, that black women's oppression persists
in black churches? This book engages the Chalcedonian
Definition as the starting point for exploring the body as

Representations of the Rushdie Affair and Figures of the War-OnTerror Decade
Islam and Controversy
The Politics of Free Speech After Rushdie
Nicole Falkenhayner, University of Freiburg, Germany
Anshuman A. Mondal, Brunel University, UK
"A highly perceptive analysis of the grounds and moral
- but not necessarily legal - limits of free speech. It
both retains and goes beyond the important insights
of liberalism. Its theoretical discussion enriches and
is in turn enriched by a shrewd analysis of concrete
cases. A most welcome and timely book." — Lord
Bhikhu Parekh, author of 'The Parekh Report: The Future
of Multi-Ethnic Britain' and 'Rethinking Multiculturalism'
"In contrast to much journalism and commentary on
these issues, this is an important, reasoned and patient
account of these inflammatory matters. Mondal's
book is crucial reading for those interested not only
in the work and impact of Salman Rushdie, not only
for those working in contemporary literature more widely, but also those with
a concern for issues of freedom, expression and the future of cosmopolitan
and multicultural democracy." — Professor Robert Eaglestone, Professor of
Contemporary Literature and Thought, Royal Holloway, University of London
At the heart of this important book is the question, what is free speech for? Is it an
end in itself? Or does it serve a higher purpose, such as safeguarding democracy,
as is often claimed? In a brilliant, forensic analysis of some of the rhetoric around
freedom and offence, Mondal asks how notions of a good and fair society can
possibly be furthered by the deliberate denigration of a portion of its membership.
Recognising ethics as central to the proper exercise of rights, he calls for an 'ethics
of propriety' in writing and reading where mutual obligations are acknowledged.
Through detailed readings of controversies such as the Satanic Verses affair, the
Danish cartoon controversy, the outrage caused by the novel, The Jewel of Medina,
and comedy films which have flirted with the sacred and the blasphemous, Mondal
charts the dead-ends reached by conventional interpretations, while suggesting
more fruitful ways to write, read and understand.

Moroccan Feminist Discourses
Fatima Sadiqi, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University,
Morocco
"A valuable book, exploring and opening up a new and
important terrain." - Leila Ahmed, Victor S. Thomas
Professor of Divinity, Harvard University, USA
"It is no accident that one of the foremost advocates
of the Berber language is also a central voice in
feminist scholarship in Morocco. Sadiqi weaves
together the parallel stories of the Berber legacy and
the rising tide of women's rights, demonstrating how
both interacted with Islam to become enshrined in
the new constitution during the 'Moroccan Spring' of
2011. In her inimitable voice, she adds her personal
journey, reminding us that feminism remains an
unfinished story." - Ann Braude, Director of the Women's Studies in Religion
Program, Harvard University, USA
Both a scholarly and personal critique of current feminist Moroccan discourses, this
book is a call for a larger-than-Islam framework that accommodates the Berber
dimension. Sadiqi argues that current feminist discourse, both secular and Islamic ones,
are not only divergent but limit the rich heritage, knowledge, and art of Berber women.

ISLAMIC STUDIES
Authority without Territory
The Aga Khan Development Network and the Ismaili Imamate
Daryoush Mohammad Poor, Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK
"This original study reveals in a scholarly manner,
and within an interesting theoretical framework,
how the present Nizari Ismaili Imam has succeeded
in bestowing aspects of the authority of the Imam to
the office of the Imamate, transcending the Weberian
boundaries of ideal types of authority. This has
resulted in the institutionalisation of what the author
calls 'authority without territory.' The author also
meticulously examines the network of the institutions
created and legitimised by the present Imam, known
as the Aga Khan Development Network." - Dr. Farhad
Daftary, Co-Director of The Institute of Ismaili
Studies, UK
Examining the connection between the concept of authority and the
transformation of the Ismaili imamate, Authority without Territory is the first study
of the imamate in contemporary times with a particular focus on Aga Khan, the
49th hereditary leader of Shi’a Imami Ismaili Muslims.

Islamic Reform and Colonial Discourse on
Modernity in India
Socio-Political and Religious Thought of Vakkom Moulavi
Jose Abraham, Concordia University, USA
"Jose Abraham has succeeded in capturing an
important moment within the encounter between
colonialism and the world of religions, in this case
Islam in Kerala." -Kiran Sebastian, H. George Anderson
Professor of Mission and Cultures, the Lutheran
Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, USA.
Homosexualities, Muslim Cultures and Modernity
Momin Rahman, Trent University, Canada
"Momin's book is one of the best analysis of
homosexuality and modern Muslim identity to appear
recently. While the book is an in depth look at the
current debates about Muslims and modernity, its
theoretical tools are fundamental to understanding
the complex notion of modernity. It reminded
me of Timothy Mitchel's The Colonization of Egypt.
Momin's book is a comprehensive work, exhaustively
researched, judicious in its assessment and sets
forth a theoretical model that will alter the way we
understand Muslim modernity.An outstanding work.
Its implications go to the heart of the debate about
what modernity means." - Walid Saleh, Professor of
Islamic Studies, University of Toronto, Canada
This book addresses the increasing role of queer politics within forms of
Islamophobia, both by exploring the framing of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) issues as a key marker of western superiority and by identifying
the ways in which Muslim homophobia contributes to this dialectic.

In Kerala, Vakkom Moulavi motivated Muslims to
embrace modernity, especially modern education,
in order to reap maximum benefit. In this process, he
initiated numerous religious reforms. However, he
held fairly ambivalent attitudes towards individualism,
materialism and secularization, defending Islam against
the attacks of Christian missionaries.

Jeffry R. Halverson, Department of
Philosophy and Religious Studies at
Coastal Carolina University, USA
"This is a well-written and interesting book. It deals
with the role, or rather the lack of role according to
the author, of theology in the modern Islamic world,
particularly in the thought of the radical Islamist
movements and their leading thinkers, and is skeptical
of the possibilities of a modern revival of theological
thought. It is an important account of the topic and
the topic itself is important. It should be used in
courses on Islamic studies, the US and the Middle East,
and also in theology, as there is tremendous interest
in this issue today." - Oliver Leaman, Professor of
Philosophy, University of Kentucky, USA.
This book explores the correlation between anti-theological thought and the rise of
Islamism in the twentieth century by examining Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and
the leadership of Umar al-Tilmisani (d. 1986).

MODERN RELIGION
Models of Understanding
Alan Brill, Department of Religion, Seton Hall University, USA
"It is exciting to see that this book of Jewish philosophy goes beyond the
frameworks of Orthodox, Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Reform
Judaism. This book is especially appropriate for students, teachers and
professors of Jewish thought and for any reader with a philosophical
background preparing for interfaith dialogue." - Jewish Book Council
"An important book both in terms of scholarship and vision, Brill's book surveys
Judaism's wide-ranging attitude toward other faiths as well as non-Jews in
general. While an important piece of scholarship, the book is not merely an
academic exercise. Brill recognizes the difficulties in many traditional sources
(some of them extremely disturbing) that conflict with the ethics and reality of
twenty-first century Judaism. Rather than sweep these passages under the rug,
Brill outlines strategies for Jews who want to remain true to traditional sources
while interacting with the other 99.75% of the world. Brill's writing is concise
and clear." - Daniel Scheide, Association of Jewish Libraries Book Review, USA
Brill collects and comments on statements in Jewish texts about other traditions,
bringing together presentations of over one hundred medieval and early modern
Jewish thinkers. These are arranged according to the interfaith categories of
inclusivist, exclusivist, and universalist, which provides the structural and analytical
backbone of the book.

Religious Representation in Place
Exploring Meaningful Spaces at the Intersection of the Humanities

Edited by Mark K. George, Iliff School of Theology, USA,
Daria Pezzoli-Olgiati, University of Zurich, Switzerland
"Addressed both to practitioners and scholars, this
highly unusual and significant book opens with a
theoretical exploration of space as it is interrelated to
religion in generating meaning in human life. It then
explores examples of meaning's emergence from
these reciprocal interactions. Finally, it interrogates
these phenomena through interdisciplinary essays
from astrophysics, religious studies, architecture,
philosophy, urban planning, psychology, art history,
and hermeneutics. Here unity of thought is refracted
through multiple perspectives to yield a work of high
achievement and lasting value." - George Hoover,
FAIA, Architect, Professor Emeritus, Architecture,
University of Colorado, USA
Religious Representation in Place brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars
from the Humanities and Sciences to broaden the understanding of how religious

This book explores the role of children and young
people within early modern England's Catholic minority.
It examines Catholic attempts to capture the next
generation, Protestant reactions to these initiatives, and
the social, legal and political contexts in which young
people formed, maintained and attempted to explain
their religious identity.
Foucault’s Heterotopia in Christian Catacombs
Constructing Spaces and Symbols in Ancient Rome
Eric C. Smith, Iliff School of Theology, USA
"This clearly structured and engagingly written work
presents an original methodology that combines
examination of space, art, texts, and practices in
an effort to understand more fully the Catacomb
of Callistus and its paintings, especially those in
the Cubicula of the Sacraments, in their multiple
contexts. I was glad to accept the author's imaginative
opening invitation to walk with 'Callistus' and
ponder the paintings of 'Dionysus' for a vivid fourdimensional experience of early Christian catacomb
painting." - Elizabeth Struthers Malbon, Professor,

Reason and Faith in the Theology of Charles Hodge
Black Theology as Mass Movement
Black Theology as Mass Movement, Howard
American Common Sense Realism
Charles L. Howard, University of Pennsylvania, USA
‘This book introduces a new generation to the
creativity that is Black Theology. By demonstrating
that its organic connection to the cultural and
material realities of Black communities is the heart of
Black Theology, Howard is able to make connections
between the contemporary voice of Black cultural
creativity - Hip-hop, and the rich theological heritage
of Black Folks. For anyone interested in the new
directions of Black Theology and the theological
promise of Hip Hop Culture, this is THE book.’
Owen Anderson, School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural
Studies at Arizona State University, USA
‘Anderson offers a good, clear description of Hodge's
writings on reason, common sense, general revelation,
the knowledge of God and of the self, and several
other related topics. This is a fine piece of work that
will bring clarity for many to the study of natural
theology, especially, at Old Princeton.’ - Douglas A.
Sweeney, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA
Charles Hodge engaged the leading thinkers of his
day to defend the human ability to know God. This
involved him in affirming the importance of both
orthodoxy and piety in the life of a Christian. His work
involved expanding on the insights of the Westminster
Confession of Faith as it applied to the theory of
salvation and the role of Christ.

Classics at the Dawn of the Museum Era
The Life and Times of Antoine Chrysostome Quatremère de
Quincy (1755-1849)
Louis A. Ruprecht Jr., Georgia State University, USA
‘Museum Studies is coming into its own as a field
of academic inquiry, and so it is a great pleasure to
read Professor Ruprecht's latest contribution to the
branch of intellectual and cultural history he has
been making his own. Quatremere is fortunate in his
most recent biographer: As always, Ruprecht writes
with verve and elegance, demonstrating a erudite and
subtle understanding of the way the arts of modern
civilization — along with its manifold discontents created not only the modern Museum, but also our
conflicted attitudes towards the treasures it obtains,
contains, and conserves.’ – Lori Anne Ferrell, Professor
of Early Modern History and Literature, Claremont
University, USA
Ruprecht hopes to show that Quatremère's true importance emerges only if we
situate him in his own times, one generation after Winckelmann, in a very different,
and a far more revolutionary and secularizing cultural moment.

Danilo Raponi, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität

This book examines Anglo-Italian political and cultural
relations and analyses the importance of religion in the
British 'Orientalist' perception of Italy. It puts religion at the
centre of a harsh political and cultural war, one that was
fought on international, diplomatic, and domestic levels.

The Charismatic City and the Public
Resurgence of Religion
A Pentecostal Social Ethics of Cosmopolitan Urban Life
Nimi Wariboko, Andover Newton Theological School, USA
"Nimi Wariboko performs in his writing the
explosive energy and affective effervescence that
characterize his not yet/already New Jerusalem. The
Charismatic City as book, as concept, and as living
place bursts through the networks and rhizomes
of a new Pentecostal cosmopolitics. Inasmuch as it
links the liveliest global Christianity to interreligious
and ecological ethics, I find its charism stunning,
unexpected, and somehow crucial to the work of
postsecular political theology." - Catherine Keller,
Professor, Constructive Theology, Drew Theological
School, USA and author of On the Mystery: Discerning
Divinity in Process (2008)
"Wariboko's The Charismatic City and the Public Resurgence of Religion is a
powerful meditation on the intersection of Pentecostal existence and urban
existence. This is not a sociological or geographic study but it will greatly inform
such studies by offering a very lively and theological rich reflection on the
multiple meanings of embodied life in cities, especially cities in and outside the
United States. I know of no other text that reflects on African Pentecostal urban
life with such breath and sophistication. This will be a book that will be referred
to and commented on for many years." - Willie James Jennings, Associate
Professor, Theology, Black Church Studies, Duke Divinity School, USA
"Fifty years after The Secular City it was time for a sequel to appear, one that
would both update and focus the structural changes in religion, politics, and the
economy that have rattled and transformed life on earth. This eloquent and
readable book does just that. Closely in touch with global trends, the growing
Charismatic-Pentecostal movement, and the restless hunger of the human
spirit, Wariboko has given us a penetrating work that no thoughtful reader can
afford to miss." - Harvey Cox, author of The Secular City (1965) and The Future of
Faith (2009)
Two powerful and interrelated transnational cultural expressions mark our epoch,
Charismatic spirituality and global city. This book demonstrates how these two
forces can be used to inform ethical design of cities and their common social lives to
best support human flourishing, spirituality, and social and ecological wellbeing of
their residents.

Sustainable Civilization
RELIGION AND CULTURE
Klaas Van Egmond, Utrecht University, Netherlands
'The current disastrous impasse in global society
has resulted from pursuing policies justified by a
worldview that is no longer relevant … Sustainable
Civilization offers an alternative. It lays out a novel
and useful framework for describing paradigms. It
discusses the options that are realistically available to
us and offers guidelines for more effective policies.' –

Theological Reflections on “Gangnam Style”
A Racial, Sexual, and Cultural Critique
Joseph Cheah, University of Saint Joseph, USA, Grace
Ji-Sun Kim, Georgetown University, USA
"Are we 'laughing at' or 'laughing with' Psy? Reflecting
on the work and depiction of Park Jae-sang in
'Gangnam Style,' Cheah and Kim capture us with
this question. Arguing persuasively that we do
both, they explore how people of Asian descent
have been marginalized by racial stereotypes even
as they have made use of them to shape their own
emerging identities. This book will inspire any one
of us who reads it to pause at the interface between
cultural expectation and personal integrity, and there
attend to how we view others, how they view us,
and how we view ourselves. - Cynthia L. Rigby, W.C.
Brown Professor of Theology, Austin Presbyterian
Theological Seminary, USA
In order to be sustainable, a civilization must maintain
the balance between 'mind' and 'matter' and between
the egocentric 'I' and 'the others'. This book investigates
how new institutional arrangements in politics, economy
and finance can resolve the current crisis of social values
by restoring this delicate balance between opposing forces.

Towards a Postsecular International Politics
Finnish Women Making Religion
New Forms of Community, Identity, and Power
Between Ancestors and Angels
Edited by Luca Mavelli, University of Canterbury, Fabio Petito
"This is a timely and most welcome collection
of essays that explores the implications of the
thesis of a postsecular world order. Challenging
the dominant Western narrative of progress and
secularism, the volume examines how traditional
forms of community, identity, and power are being reconfigured by religious ideas. Striking a happy balance
between theoretical expositions and in-depth case
studies, this fascinating and analytically sophisticated
analysis will be valuable to IR scholars, political
and social theorists, and members of the attentive
public who realize that the contemporary challenges
require a new thinking 'outside of the box.'' - Friedrich

After Mindfulness
Queering Migrations Towards, From, and
Beyond Asia
New Perspectives on Psychology and Meditation
Edited by Manu Bazzano, University of Roehampton
"Bazzano has done much to further a deeper
understanding of mindfulness for therapy, in part by
refusing to allow it to languish in a psychotherapeutic
ghetto or rest complacently in a cloister... Though it
remains unclear what mindfulness will become, some
intriguing indications of its future can be found in this
necessary and timely book." - Self & Society
"Draws a distinction between 'problem-solving' and
'spiritual' mindfulness." - The Church Times
"As a genuine attempt to explore an antidote to 'the
literalism of McMindfulness as a quick fix for the
anxieties of late-capitalist society', this collection is
almost ahead of its time: a new wave of conversations
that ironically hark back to pure origins concerned with our wholehearted
presence, could now be seen as controversial in our 'mindful' fix it quick culture.
The collection deftly draws upon ideas from Buddhism, Philosophy, Psychology,
Culture and Psychotherapy and Bazzano demonstrates his adeptness to select,
collate and create a rich and harmonious choir of contemporary voices for our
consumption." - Julie Webb, The Natural Health Centre, UK
"This book is a tour-de-force that explores the meeting of mindfulness
and psychology/psychotherapy. Its editor, Manu Bazzano, and the other
authors are united in their insistence that mindfulness is not just an add-on
to psychotherapeutic work; rather, it is a way of being that is central to the
psychotherapeutic process." - Therapy Today
This collection of essays by leading exponents of contemporary Buddhism and
psychotherapy brings together appreciation and critical evaluation of Mindfulness,
a phenomenon that has swept the mental health field over the last two decades.
The sheer diversity and depth of expertise assembled here illuminate the current
presentation of Mindfulness.

"This volume offers inspiring and insightful essays
from emerging scholars who explore the intersection
of ethnicity, migration, sexual desire, practice, and
religion. You will find most valuable contributions
to the fields of queer studies and migration studies
that expand the vision in both fields." - Andrea Bieler,

The book explores migration and queerness as
they relate to ethnic/racial identity constructions,
immigration processes and legal status, the formation of trans/national and trans/

LITERATURE AND RELIGION
Dance, Consumerism, and Spirituality
C. S. Walter, independent scholar
"What if we could dance life? C. S. Walter's book is
an introspective, fascinating, and thought-provoking
exploration of dance, spirituality, and consumption.
Her authorial voice drives readers through a very
interesting personal and theoretical journey across
literatures in religious studies, anthropology,
aesthetics, marketing, and consumer research that
puts the book at the center of body, gender, and
the lived experience of mysticism." - Diego Rinallo,
Associate Professor, Marketing and Consumer
Culture, Kedge Business School, France and co-author
of Consumption and Spirituality (2012)
Dance has proliferated in movies, television, Internet,
and retail spaces while the spiritual power of dance has also been linked with
mass consumption. Walter marries the cultural studies of dance and the religious
aspects of dance in an exploration of consumption rituals, including rituals of being
persuaded to buy products that include dance.

Culture, Health, and Religion at the Millennium
Sweden Unparadised
Edited by Marie Demker, Yvonne Leffler, and Ola
Sigurdson, all Gothenburg University, Sweden
"This fascinating and unusual book presents to the
English-language reader a complex image of Sweden
as a country in the process of change. Employing a
highly interdisciplinary approach in film, popular
literature politics, and religion, the writers, all from
the University of Gothenburg, challenge stereotypes
and idealizing images, crawling under the skin of
contemporary Sweden and its place in the world." David Jasper, Professor, University of Glasgow, UK
and Renmin University of China, China
The book presents interpretations of culture, health,
politics, and religion in Sweden today, Sweden
transforms from the well-functioning but existentially bland economic wonder to
a more fragmented and gloomy society. Contributors include scholars from film
studies, literary studies, political science, religious studies and theology.

T.S. Eliot
The Poet as Christian
G. Douglas Atkins, University of Kansas, USA
‘T.S. Eliot: The Poet as Christian has extraordinary
moments. In richly adventurous and poetic prose,
G. Douglas Atkins addresses a topic that deserves
more scholarly attention: the incarnational impulse
of Eliot's major poems.’ -Mark Jones, Professor of
English, Trinity Christian College, USA
By comparing and contrasting the pre-conversion and
the post-conversion poetics and poetic practices of
T.S. Eliot, this book elucidates the responsibilities and
opportunities for a poet who is also Christian. This
book is the second in a trilogy which includes T.S. Eliot,
Lancelot Andrewes, and the Word.
Contents: 1. Toward ‘a full juice of meaning’: Eliot’s Christian
Poetics in Practice * 2. The Present Unattended: ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock’ and The

Blake and the Methodists
A Queering of Black Theology
Michael Farrell, independent scholar, UK
James Baldwin's Blues Project and Gospel Prose
Exploring the work of William Blake within the context
of Methodism – the largest 'dissenting' religious group
during his lifetime – this book contributes to ongoing
critical debates surrounding Blake's religious affinities by
suggesting that, contrary to previous thinking, Blake held
sympathies with certain aspects of Methodism.
EL Kornegay Jr., Chicago Theological Seminary, USA
‘EL Kornegay, Jr's A Queering of Black Theology
performs for the reader as it plays an enchanting
and griping song out of the primary writings from
James Baldwin. No author has delved into Baldwin's
raw cords of prophecy and pain to harmonize a hope
out of race, sex, and religion. Every now and then
a writer offers us a new song to sing, a new tune to
hum. Kornegay has coopted Baldwin into his band of
pioneering blues-jazz-soul knowledge.’

American Comics, Literary Theory, and Religion
The Superhero Afterlife
A. David Lewis, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and
Health Sciences University University, USA
"Don't be fooled by the academic tone of the title. This
book is captivating, insightful, and incredibly thoughtprovoking. Whether you're fairly new to the comics
medium or have (like me) studied it all your life, you'll
find that Lewis illuminates the subject in a light you've
never before seen or considered, and it's delightfully
revelatory." - Mark Waid, writer for Fantastic Four,
Daredevil, Superman: Birthright, Kingdom Come, and
Thrillbent's Empire
"A unique and fascinating look into the metaphysics
of the comic book world." - J.M. DeMatteis, writer of
Moonshadow and Brooklyn Dreams
Unlocking a new and overdue model for reading comic books, this unique volume
explores religious interpretations of popular comic book superheroes such as
the Green Lantern and the Hulk. This superhero subgenre offers a hermeneutic
for those interested in integrating mutiplicity into religious practices and
considerations of the afterlife.
Kornegay's brilliant and insightful use of James Baldwin's
literary genius offers a way forward that promises to
overcome the divide between religion and sexuality that is of crucial importance
not only for black church and theology but for socio-political-religious and
theological discourse generally.

Transposing Broadway
Jews, Assimilation, and the American Musical
Stuart J. Hecht, Boston College, USA
"Acknowledging the important role of Jews in
developing the twentieth-century Broadway musical,
Hecht argues that Jews shaped the musical 'to
represent their grappling with the promise of the
American Dream.' Summing Up: Recommended." CHOICE
Over the last hundred years, musical theatre artists
have developed a form that corresponds directly to the
Americanization of the increasingly Jewish New York
audience. Hecht offers a fascinating examination of
the relationship between Jews, assimilation, and the
changing face of the American musical in the twentieth

The Rise and Fall of a Political Alliance
Philip Mendes, Monash University, Australia
'Philip Mendes charts the rise and fall of the alliance
through the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 to its
decline in the 20th century and a possible shift to
the Right – key factors being the Holocaust (''which
destroyed the Jewish Left constituency''), Soviet
persecution in the 1950s, the 1967 Six Day War and
the consequent shift from the Left's previous support
for the state of Israel to today's ongoing debate.'
-Steven Carroll, The Sydney Morning Herald
'In charting the evolution of left-wing ideas about
Jews from the French Revolution onward and
Jews' natural affinity for left-wing politics, Mendes
traverses familiar terrain but he does so with succinct,
learned aplomb.' - Tibor Krausz, The Jerusalem Report
The historical involvement of Jews in the political Left is well known, but far less
attention has been paid to the political and ideological factors which attracted Jews
to the Left. After the Holocaust and the creation of Israel many lost their faith in
universalistic solutions, yet lingering links between Jews and the Left continue to exist.
Contents: Introduction * 1. The Beginnings of the Jewish Attraction to the Left * 2. Anti-Semitism
and Support for Jewish Rights: an Analysis of Socialist Attitudes to the Jews * 3. Socialism, Zionism
and the State of Israel * 4. From the Universalist to the Particular: Examining the Extent of Jewish
Involvement in the Political Left * 5. A Critical Analysis of the Myth of Judeo-Communism * 6. The
post-World War Two Decline of the Jewish/Left alliance: From the International to the National
Solution * 7. Exceptions to the Rule: the Continuing Prominence of Left-wing Jews in the PostWorld War Two Period * 8. Left-wing Jewish Critics of Zionism and Israel * 9. Conclusion
This book invokes the radical potentialities of 'untidiness'
to envision alternative arrangements of social life and
hospitality. Instead of trying to manage sustainability
or tidy up tourist situations, the authors embrace the
messiness of human relations and argue for more creative,
embodied and ethical ontologies of tourism and mobility.

Mitt Romney, Mormonism, and the 2012 Election
Presidential Faith and Foreign Policy
Jimmy Carter the Disciple and Ronald Reagan the Alchemist
Luke Perry, Utica College, USA.
This book seeks to address the question of how we should
understand the impact of Mitt Romney's faith in the
2012 election. As the first Mormon to earn a presidential
nomination from a major party, the book provides a
comprehensive study of Romney's historic candidacy.
William Steding, Southern Methodist University, USA
Steding argues that Carter and Reagan's ‘cognetic
narratives,’ shaped by their religious faith and values,
can help explain some of their most important their
foreign-policy decisions. The research is impressive
and the argument novel. It will certainly provoke
debate among historians, but Presidential Faith and
Foreign Policy more than holds its own. - Andrew

study of Israeli religious Zionism and US evangelical

Eleventh to the Sixteenth Centuries
Playing the Heresy Card
Edited by Karen Bollermann, Arizona State University,
USA, Thomas M. Izbicki, Rutgers University, USA, Cary J.
Nederman, Texas A&M University, USA
Addressing the myriad ways in which heresy accusations
could fulfill political aims during the Middle Ages, this
collection shows acts of heresy were not just influenced
by religion. Essays examine individual cases, in addition
to the close relationship of orthodoxy and political
dominance in medieval games of power.

Georgetown University, USA
In this dynamic and wide-ranging collection of essays, prominent scholars examine

Ethnographic Theology
The Rule of Law and the Rule of God
An Inquiry into the Production of Theological Knowledge
Natalie Wigg-Stevenson, Emmanuel College, University
of Toronto, Canada
"Theological page-turners are rare, but Natalie WiggStevenson's debut outing is just that. In addition to
being substantively rich, this book is a pleasure to
read: creative, moving, and deeply honest in a risky
way, combining an impressive theoretical grounding
with an authentically pastoral sensibility. It engages
head-on the unresolved challenge of how theology
relates to those whose world in both the academy
and the church. This is a discipline-defining work from
a major new voice." - Serene Jones, President, Union
Theological Seminary, USA
This book uses ethnography as theological practice,
yielding a theology constructed at the intersection of church, academy and
everyday life. Drawing on the author's research in her Baptist church, the resulting
'ethnographic theology' produces creative theological insights, while also proposing
fresh alternatives for Christian thought and action.

Interpreting Islam, Modernity, and Women’s

Anita M. Weiss, University of Oregon, USA
Edited by Simeon O. Ilesanmi, Department of Religion,
Wake Forest University, USA, Win-Chiat Lee, Department
of Philosophy, at Wake Forest University, USA, J. Wilson
Parker, Wake Forest University School of Law, USA
"Conference proceedings rarely make good books,
but this is the happy exception. Ilesanmi and his
colleagues have brought together a scintillating
set of papers that focus, for the most part, on those
areas of actual and potential conflict between shari'a
and the demands of liberal democracy. This is a rich
interdisciplinary collection that is sure to surprise
and illuminate all sides." - G. Scott Davis, Lewis T.
Booker Professor of Religion and Ethics, University of
Richmond, USA
This book examines the competing regimes of law and religion and offers a
multidisciplinary approach to demonstrate the global scope of their influence.
It argues that the tension between these two institutions results from their
disagreements about the kinds of rule that should govern human life and society,
and from where they should be derived.

Multiculturalism
James Baldwin’s Understanding of God
Overwhelming Desire and Joy
Europe, Africa, and North America
Josiah Ulysses Young III, Wesley Theological Seminary, USA
"Young leads readers through a labyrinth of Baldwin's
most intimate yet public reflections on the America he
knew through a life marked by the tensions between
alienation and desire, foreclosure, and yearning. Like the
subject of this volume, Young is incisive, somber, candid
and loving as he extends Baldwin's vision that 'artists . . .
must tell the truth . . . make a confession, and thus surface
those dilemmas and secrets that have to do with who
we truly are as human beings.' Moreover, he analyzes the
virtues underlying such an expensive and fragile vision,
associating Baldwin's aesthetic sensibilities with a rare
yet desperately needed insight into the sacred." - Dianne
M. Stewart, Associate Professor, Religion and African
American Studies, Emory University, USA
Edited by R. Drew Smith, Pittsburgh Theological
Seminary, USA, William Ackah, Birkbeck, University of
London, UK, Anthony G. Reddie, Aston University, UK
This volume assesses contemporary church responses
to multicultural diversity and resisted categories of
social difference, with a central focus on whether or how
racial, ethnic, religious, sexual, and gender differences are
validated by churches (and especially black churches) torn
between competing inclusive and exclusive tendencies.

Commonwealth University, USA, Carol B. Duncan,
Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
This book focuses on Baldwin's experiences as a gifted black writer who fought

Baldwin's God is a 'mysteriously impersonal' force he calls love- 'something . . . like a
fire, like the wind, something which can change you.'

Lee, The

The
Ethical
Foundations
of EarlyofDaoism, Lee
Jung H. Lee, Northeastern University, USA
‘This is an elegant study of one of the world’s most
insightful, original, and inspiring thinkers. Lee does a
fine job weaving various strands of the Zhuangzi into
a unified vision of human beings in harmony with or as
he aptly puts it ‘attuned to’ the Dao. His reading offers
a compelling and immensely important alternative
to traditional Confucian and modern western
interpreters who attempt to portray Zhuangzi as an
amoralist unconcerned with values and indifferent to
the world.’ -Philip J. Ivanhoe, Director of the Center for
East Asian and Comparative Philosophy (CEACOP),
City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Kelly Brown Douglas, Goucher College, USA.
‘A a must-read, full of theological insights about personal God-consciousness
and prophetic religious vitality embedded in the heavy-hearted music genre,
the blues.’ - Katie G. Cannon, Union Presbyterian Seminary, USA
‘This book will provoke new conversations and revive old ones about the nature
and relevance of the Black Church and its engagements with theodicy. Black
Bodies and the Black Church is a serious moving train that will allow no neutrality
for its readers.’ - Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
Professor, Colby College, USA
‘Once again, Kelly Brown Douglas brilliantly, creatively, and powerfully exposes
the unholy alliance between the Black Church and internalized forms of class,
gender, and sexual oppression.’ - Reverend Dr. Dennis Wiley, Covenant Baptist
United Church of Christ, Washington, D.C., USA
Blues is absolutely vital to black theological reflection and to the black church's
existence. In Black Bodies and the Black Church, author Kelly Douglas Brown
develops a blues crossroad theology, which allows the black church to remain true
to itself and relevant in black lives.

Possessing Spirits and Healing Selves
Embodiment and Transformation in an Afro-Brazilian Religion
Rebecca Seligman, Northwestern University, USA
"Rebecca Seligman explores the transformations of
subjectivity, self and identity central to becoming a
spirit medium. Through the concept of "biolooping",
she brings culture and biology into dialogue to show
how knowledge, body practices, and cultural scripts
work together to create new versions of selfhood and
forms of moral life with healing potential. Anyone
seeking deeper understanding and an integrative
view of the meanings and functions of dissociative
experience in religion and healing will find this work
richly rewarding." - Laurence J. Kirmayer, James
McGill Professor and Director, Division of Social and
Transcultural Psychiatry, McGill University, Canada
Spirit possession involves the displacement of a human's
conscious self by a powerful other who temporarily occupies the human's body.
Here, Seligman shows that spirit possession represents a site for understanding
fundamental aspects of human experience, especially those involved with
interactions among meaning, embodiment, and subjectivity.

The Ethnopoetics of Shamanism
Marcel de Lima, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil
"In The Ethnopoetics of Shamanism, Marcel de Lima
gives us the clearest and most complete account
of what some of us, in the last years of the second
millennium, were speaking of as a new 'ethnopoetics'
that would change forever the dimensions of what
we had spoken of before this as poetry and art.
Whatever the final outcome of that questing, this
is for now the definitive book to read as a telling of
what came before and may still follow after" - Jerome

Over the last century, Western portrayals of shamanism
have changed radically toward an ethnopoetics of
shamanism. While shamanic practices had long been indirectly registered by
Westerners, it is only since the late nineteenth century that they have taken on symbolic
import within discourses of primitivism and debates over magic and rationality.

GENDER, SEXUALITY, AND RELIGION
‘Honour’ Killing and Violence
A Womanist Pastoral Theology Against
Intimate and Cultural Violence
Stephanie M. Crumpton, Lancaster Theological
Seminary, USA
"Stephanie M. Crumpton's contribution to womanist
pastoral theology is invaluable, and her attention to
the narratives of Black women's lived experience is
exquisite and carefully conveyed." - Phillis Isabella
Sheppard, Associate Professor, Religion, Culture and
Psychology, Vanderbilt Divinity School, USA
Theory, Policy and Practice
Edited by Aisha K. Gill, University of Roehampton, UK,
Carolyn Strange, Australian National University, Karl
Roberts, Macquarie University, UK
"The chapters in 'Honour' Killing and Violence bring
an invaluable, interdisciplinary perspective to a topic
that incites debates characterized more by heat than
light. The contributors to this volume do not shy
away from these controversies, which is what makes
this volume so timely. At the same time, they do not
allow those controversies to limit their analyses to
well-trod ground and blind alleys, which is why the
volume is so illuminating. The chapters rely on original
empirical evidence and argumentation informed by
anthropology, criminology, legal reasoning, history,
political science, and psychology to urge a multi-level,
multi-causal approach to understanding honour violence and responses to it.
No matter how much you think you know about 'honour' based violence, you
will learn something new and question some of your assumptions about it by
reading this book." - Rosemary Gartner, University of Toronto, Canada
In this interdisciplinary collection leading experts and scholars from criminology,
psychology, law and history provide a compelling analysis of practices and beliefs
that lead to violence against women, men and children in the name 'honour'.

This book is about Black women's search for

Sexuality and New Religious Movements
Edited by Henrik Bogdan, Department of History of Ideas,
Literature, and Religion, at the University of Gothenburg,
Sweden, James R. Lewis, University of Tromsø, Norway
"Sex is not just sex. As anyone who has deeply
engaged the history of religions knows, human
sexuality runs the gamut from the most mundane
fetish or fantasy to the profundities of charismatic
authority, mystical experience, discarnate erotic
encounter, alien abduction, even human deification.
The essayists in this new volume demonstrate this
still ill-understood truth in abundance and with
astonishing historical and psychological detail. They
thus take us further down the road toward a genuine
understanding of our real situation in this weird, weird
world." - Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of Roads of Excess,
Palaces of Wisdom: Reflexivity and Eroticism in the
Study of Mysticism

Power and Sainthood
The Case of Birgitta of Sweden
Päivi Salmesvuori, University of Helsinki, Finland
"Focused and meticulously researched, Power and
Sainthood addresses the idea of holiness in action as St.
Birgitta began to assert her authority in the formative
years of her life as a mystic and visionary. Salmesvuori
gives a grounded view of what Birgitta was like as both
a woman and human being, but - very wisely - stops
short of making any generalized character judgments .
. . A truly interesting take on Birgitta." - Bridget Morris,
Independent Scholar, York, UK
Catholic Women’s Movements in Liberal and

Transhumanism and the Body
The World Religions Speak
Edited by Calvin Mercer, East Carolina University, Derek
F. Maher, East Carolina University
"It's time for religious folks to take a look at their
bodies. Just how valuable is our body? It's time to
ask this, because transhumanists are proposing a
more highly evolved bodiless existence. Mercer and
Maher ask us: do we really want to go there?" - Ted
Peters, Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences,
Graduate Theological Union, USA
"Technological progress entails manipulating nature
for our own ends, so is easily seen by people of faith
as challenging the wisdom of the Creator. But were
we not created with the ability and desire to engage in
technology? Was it a sin to develop fire, or medicine?
These essays will forcefully reassure readers that further technological
progress, even if sometimes burdened with the unnecessarily scary label
'transhumanism,' will also be God's work." - Aubrey de Grey, Chief Science
Officer, SENS Research Foundation, UK
This collection of original articles, a sequel of sorts to the 2009 Religion and
the Implications of Radical Life Extension (Palgrave Macmillan), is the first
sustained reflection, by scholars with expertise in the faith traditions, on how the
transhumanist agenda might impact the body.

Shai Har-El, independent historian, educator, writer,
poet, and rabbi, Israel
Introducing a framework to generate new conversations
about inter-religious dialogue and create a community
of religions, Shai Har-El argues that Islam and Judaism,
sister religions, are closely related to one another with
roots intertwined in the land, in the language, and in the
memories of shared history.

A collection of essays in which the possibilities of
a deeper dialogue, by means of the contemplative
traditions of the Abrahamic Faiths is explored. The book

Pindar
Richard Stoneman, University of Exeter, UK
Forever Fluid
"In this wide-ranging and stimulating treatment,
Richard Stoneman offers a richly detailed and
imaginative survey of Pindar’s poetry as well as a very
welcome foray into his influence on the European lyric
tradition from the Renaissance to Romanticism. The
book provides a passionate and at the same time very
accessible introduction to a difficult subject and will
be of undoubted interest not only to undergraduate
students but also, more generally, to readers
attracted to one of the greatest poets of antiquity." Giambattista D’Alessio, King’s College London, UK
A Reading of Luce Irigaray’s Elemental Passions
Hanneke Canters, University of Groningen, Netherlands, Grace M. Jantzen,
University of Manchester, UK
“There are a number of studies of Irigaray’s work, but none quite like this
one. It touches upon a major philosophical/religious problematic concerning
representation itself.” - Graham Ward, Manchester University, UK
Forever Fluid is the first English commentary on Luce Irigaray’s important text,
Elemental Passions. It provides a lively alternative to the binary logic that runs
through western culture, showing how sexual difference enables appreciation of
difference of all kinds.
The author examines questions of performance and genre;
patronage; imagery; and reception, beginning with Horace.

Ugliness
The Non-Beautiful in Art and Theory
Edited by Andrea Pop, University of Chicago, USA,
Mechtild Widrich, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Ugliness is very much alive in the history of art. Drawing
across disciplinary and cultural boundaries, the writers
illuminated why ugliness, associated over the millennia
with negative categories ranging from sin and stupidity
to triviality and boredom, remains central to art and
cultural practice.

The Religious Philosophy of Simone Weil
An Introduction

religious studies, nor its value to the current dialogue
concerning the future of Christianity.” – Patrick Horn,

readable text. I have rarely seen a book that manages
so successfully to render an author in his or her
own voice.” – Cyril O’Regan, Huisking Professor of
Theology, University of Notre Dame, USA

concepts of Weil’s religious philosophy: good and evil, the
void, gravity, grace, beauty, suffering and waiting for God.

in relation to gender debates in England, and examines the ways in which the
assumptions and dominant imperialist discourses of these abolitionists were

The Principles of Interfaith Dialogue and the Work of Ismai‘l alFaruqi
Charles Fletcher, McGill University, Canada
“This book is a first class piece of scholarship on
a major Muslim pioneer in Islamic studies in the
West and in interfaith dialogue. Charles Fletcher’s
book will in fact be the first major single-authored
critical scholarly study on Ismail al-Faruqi’s role
and contribution to interfaith dialogue... a timely
publication due to growing interest in al- Faruqi’s
contributions to scholarship.” - John L. Esposito,
Georgetown University, USA
Christian-Muslim dialogue grows increasingly important
today, but little is known about individual Muslim
thinkers from the 20th century. Charles D. Fletcher
here provides the first study dedicated to the theories
and practices of Ismai’l al-Faruqi, a leading figure in the development of interfaith
dialogue in North America.
Contents: Introduction * PART I: THE LIFE AND THOUGHT OF AL-FARUQI * 1. A Biography of
Ismail al-Faruqi * 2. The Development of his Life and Thought * PART II: THE DEVELOPMENT
AND APPLICATION OF THE METHODOLOGY * 3. Philosophical Foundations and Early

ISLAMIC STUDIES
JUDAIC STUDIES
Islamic Reform and Conservatism
JUDAIC STUDIES
Al-Azhar and the Evolution of Modern Sunni Islam
Indira Falk Gesink, Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea,
Ohio, USA
"Indira Gesink’s deeply researched study on alAzhar reform sheds new light on a major chapter in
the history of modern Islam...Gesink’s book most
certainly deserves the attention of readers interested
in modern Islamic institutions and thought along with
specialists on Egypt." – David Commins, Professor of
History, Dickinson College; author of The Wahhabi
Mission and Saudi Arabia (I.B.Tauris 2006)
The famed reform debates at al-Azhar Madrasa in
nineteenth-century Cairo – one of the most influential
centers of religious study in Sunni Islam – were enormously
influential for twentieth-century Islamic thought. In
this book Indira Gesink argues that narratives of these debates overemphasize the
roles of famous modernists like Muhammad ‘Abduh, obscuring important themes.
By restoring conservative voices to the debate, she shows that conservative ‘ulama
engaged many of the same issues as reformers and led committees that generated
and implemented reforms; ultimately, conservative leaders at al-Azhar provided
crucial legitimacy for the reforms to become rooted in public life. Drawing on
obscure, but important, archival sources to illustrate the important contributions of
conservative scholars to the evaluation of twentieth-century Sunni Islam, Islamic
Reform and Conservatism is indispensable for all those interested in the modern
Middle East, religious history, secularism, modernism and religious reform.
Contents: Introduction * Religion and the State: al-Azhar during Muhammad ‘Ali * Order and
Disorder: The Evolving Critique of Madrasa Education (1834-1870) * Progress, Nationalism and

Sport and British Jewry
Integration, Ethnicity and Anti-Semitism, 1890–1970
David Dee, De Montfort University, UK
“David Dee has written a remarkable book about a fascinating subject. For too
long scholars and the public alike have simply dismissed the notion of ‘Jews
and sport in the UK’ as an oxymoron. Dee shows, with depth and insight, how
significant and complicated this phenomenon was, and his study brilliantly
illuminates Anglo-Jewry in a refreshing light.” -Michael Berkowitz, University

societies and inter-colonial networks that furnished the
Church with men.

Interfaith Encounters Between Judaism, Christianity and Islam
Edited by Jacques B Doukhan, Andrews University, USA
“The interviews and reflections in this volume are
nothing less than essential reading for anyone
concerned about the challenges to and possibilities
for greater peace between Christians, Muslims and
Jews.” – Gregory A. Barker, Senior Lecturer in Religious
Studies, The University of Wales, Trinity Saint David
“This sensitive, incisive yet always accessible volume
addresses one of the great issues of our time, one from
which the broader dialogue of religions and cultures
can only benefit. In extending what is often referred
to as the “Judaeo-Christian tradition” into the world
of Islam the writers propose an admirably generous
alternative to the destructive sibling rivalry which has
so painfully driven the “Sons of Abraham” apart.” - Michael Barnes, SJ, Professor
of Interreligious Relations, Heythrop College, London, UK
The book makes a vital contribution to dialogue. In its searching analysis of issues
of peace, justice, hope and forgiveness, it will engage all students and scholars of
interfaith studies.
Contents: Foreword * 1. Thinking of Each Other: The Quest for Truth * 2. ‘For the Sake of
Peace (Mipnei Darchei Shalom)’: Rabbinic Attitudes toward Gentiles, Christians, and Muslims *
