HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY
Descartes’ Philosophical Revolution:
A Reassessment
Tao and Trinity
Hanoch Ben-Yami, Central European University,
Budapest
Notes on Self-Reference and the Unity
of Opposites in Philosophy
Ben-Yami shows how the technology of Descartes'
time shapes his conception of life, soul and mind–body
dualism; how Descartes' analytic geometry helps him
develop his revolutionary conception of representation
without resemblance; and how these ideas combine to
shape his new and influential theory of perception.
Scott Austin, Texas A&M University, USA
The Chinese Tao and the Western Trinity have a
fundamental unity of theme: the unity of opposites.
Both are connected with problems as broad and diverse
as how to describe the entire universe, how a system
can talk about itself, the relationship between symbols
and realities, and the nature of signs and sacraments.

Kropotkin, Read, and the Intellectual
History of British Anarchism
Material Religion in Modern Britain
Between Reason and Romanticism
Although marginal as a political force, anarchist ideas
developed in Britain into a political tradition. This book
explores this lost history, offering a new appraisal of the
work of Kropotkin and Read, and examining the ways in which they endeavoured
to articulate a politics fit for the particular challenges of Britain's modern history.
Edited by Timothy Willem Jones, La Trobe University,
Australia, Lucinda Matthews-Jones, Liverpool John
Moores University, UK
'Material Religion in Modern Britain makes an
important contribution to the history of British
religion, breaking new ground in its focus upon
material culture as a means by which to understand
the tensions and complexities of the modern
spiritual landscape. This is a very well-crafted and
insightful collection of essays which will certainly
deepen our understanding of the influence of
material culture upon modern religious beliefs and
practices.' - Sue Morgan, University of Chichester,
UK
This volume contributes towards to developments in the study of religion that
illuminate the plural nature of religious change in modern Britain. It makes a
critical intervention in British studies of religion by bringing the analytical insights
of material culture, to bear on religion in the British World.
Contents: Introduction * 1. Contexts: Anarchism in British Intellectual History, 1886-1968 * 2.
Foundations: System-Building Philosophy * 3. Statism: The Power of History * 4. Revolution:

The Spirit of Things
Matthew S. Adams, University of Victoria, Canada
'In a well-argued, contextualised account, Adams
succeeds in restoring Kropotkin to the centre of
socialist and anarchist debates in Britain in the late
Victorian period. He also provides an admirably
lively account of the intellectual inheritance of
these engagements in subsequent decades through
the lens of Herbert Read's life and ideas, restoring a
sense of the vibrancy and sophistication of left-wing
political theory through this period.' - Greg Claeys,

Postnarrativist Philosophy of Historiography
Jouni-Matti Kuukkanen, University of Oulu, Finland
Natural, Supernatural, and Legal Approaches
Narrativism has made important contributions to the
theory and philosophy of historiography but it is now
time to move beyond it to postnarrativism. Kuukkanen
shows how it is possible to reject the absolutist
truth-functional evaluation of interpretations in
historiography and yet accept that historiography can
be evaluated by rational standards.
Zhongjiang Wang, Peking University, China, Misha
Tadd, Translator, China
'In his new monograph, Order in Early Chinese
Excavated Texts: Natural, Supernatural, and Legal
Approaches, distinguished Peking University
philosopher Wang Zhongjiang develops nothing less
than a new, nuanced, and compelling interpretation
of classical Chinese cosmology. With research fully
informed by a close and careful reading of the newly
recovered archaeological texts, Wang traces the
evolution of order in this antique tradition from
earliest religious assumptions to an understanding
of cosmic order grounded in a discernable pattern
of natural law as an inspiration for a concomitant
conception of positive law for the human world.' Roger T. Ames, Professor of Philosophy, University of Hawai'i, USA

Plato’s Parmenides Reconsidered
Mehmet Tabak, New York University, USA
'Plato is commonly thought to have developed a
theory of forms early in his career, and then to have
discovered irremediable errors in that theory later
on. But, in this engaging book, Tabak demonstrates,
quite decisively, that this common view of Plato
is wrong. Plato's Parmenides Reconsidered raises
crucial questions about the nature of philosophical
writing. It is a bold and important book.' - Ram Neta,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
Plato's Parmenides Reconsidered offers a very
accessible, detailed, and historically-sensitive account
of Plato's Parmenides. Against the prevailing scholarly
wisdom, he illustrates conclusively that Parmenides
is a satirical dialogue in which Plato attempts to expose the absurd nature of the
doctrines and method of his philosophical opponents.

of Forms in Phaedo * The Theory of Forms in Cratylus * The Theory of Forms in Republic

Recently discovered ancient silk and bamboo manuscripts have reformulated

they chart the path from belief in powerful spirits and gods to the discovery of
universal laws and order.

Explaining the Genetic Footprints
of Catholic and Protestant Colonizers
Shane Joshua Barter, Soka University of America, USA
This book points out a novel pattern in colonial intimacy—that Catholic colonizers
tended to leave behind significant mixed communities while Protestant colonizers
were more likely to police relations with local women. This book then seeks to
explain this pattern, looking to religious institutions, political capacity, and ideas
of nation and race.

Jews and Christians in
Thirteenth-Century France
Edited by Elisheva Baumgarten, Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel, Judah D. Galinsky, Bar Ilan University,
Israel
'This is a remarkable collection of articles which
both deepens our understanding of problems long
subjected to scrutiny and opens up entirely new
vistas on Jewish-Christian relations in thirteenthcentury France. Because the authors are so learned
and so attuned to the relevant scholarship on other
times and places, scholars with a wide variety of
interests should return repeatedly to the collection
for information and stimulation. The editors brought
together an amazing group of authors - and they
have not disappointed.' - William Chester Jordan,
Dayton-Stockton Professor of History, Princeton University, USA
A period of great change for Europe, the thirteenth-century was a time of both
animosity and intimacy for Jewish and Christian communities. In this wideranging collection, scholars discuss the changing paradigms in the research
and history of Jews and Christians in medieval Europe, discussing law, scholarly
pursuits, art, culture, and poetry.

Death, Dying, and Mysticism
The Ecstasy of the End
Edited by Thomas Cattoi, Jesuit School of Theology at
Santa Clara University, USA, Christopher M. Moreman,
Department of Philosophy, California State University,
East Bay, USA
'In this thoughtful, interdisciplinary, and integral
compilation of essays, Cattoi and Moreman
gracefully open our awareness to the mystical
process of death and dying. Through so many
perspectives, one grasps the spiritual evolution
of the soul, with death and dying marking a final
dissolution of egoic consciousness opening toward
a 'boundless' dimension or unity consciousness
and our original nature. Inspiring!' - Barbara Morrill,
Chair, Integral Counseling Program, The California
Institute of Integral Studies, USA
This volume offers a sample of reflections from scholars and practitioners on
the theme of death and dying from scholars and practitioners, ranging from the
Christian tradition to Hinduism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, while also touching on
the themes of the afterlife and near-death experiences.

Stephen L Keck, Emirates Diplomatic Academy, United
Arab Emirates
'British Burma in the New Century, 1895-1918 offers
an inventive and informative account of colonial
rule at its zenith. This perceptive book opens up a
striking panorama on the cultural and intellectual
dimensions of British imperialism in Burma.
The author's keen eye and lucid prose ranges
comfortably and convincingly from questions of
place, memory, and religious belief to problems of
urbanization, crime, and ethnic insurgency.' - Peter
John Brobst, Ohio University, USA
Jack Fairey, National University of Singapore, Singapore
This new political history of the Orthodox Church in
the Ottoman Empire explains why Orthodoxy became
the subject of acute political competition between
the Great Powers during the mid 19th century. It also
explores how such rivalries led, paradoxically, both to
secularizing reforms and to Europe's last great war of
religion - the Crimean War.

The Ecumenical Legacy of the Cappadocians
Oxford, UK
Edited by Nicu Dumitraşcu, University of Oradea,
Romania
‘The three Cappadocian Fathers have made a
fundamental and enduring contribution to theology,
alike in the East and West. Through their personal
lives, they bore witness to the value of the Christian
family and Christian friendship. Their teaching on
the doctrine of the Trinity, on Christ's Incarnation,
and on the inexhaustible mystery of the living God
remains fresh and relevant to our contemporary
situation. The many-sided presentations in this
present volume show clearly the creative originality
of the ecumenical legacy of the Cappadocians.’ Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia, University of
This volume adopts a multifaceted approach towards exploring the significant
contribution which the Cappadocians made towards subsequent Christian
thought. The contributors contextualize Cappadocian thought both within the
context of Greek philosophy, as well as in relation to other Christian thinkers such

Consolation in Medieval Narrative
Augustinian Authority and Open Form
Chad D. Schrock, Lee University, USA
'Schrock demonstrates how Augustine's
understanding of time and approach to Scriptural
interpretation opened up a profoundly creative
space for human self-reflection in the Middle Ages.
Combining criticism, philosophy, theology, and
history in a dazzling piece of scholarship, Schrock's
book functions as a moving piece of consolatory
literature in its own right. A very important book
by an outstanding scholar.' -Ephraim Radner,
Professor of Historical Theology, Wycliffe College
at the University of Toronto, Canada and author of
Hope among the Fragments: The Broken Church and its
Engagements of Scripture
Medieval writers such as Chaucer, Abelard, and Langland often overlaid personal
story and sacred history to produce a distinct narrative form. The first of its kind,
this study traces this widely used narrative tradition to Augustine's two great
histories: Confessions and City of God.
Contents: Introduction * 1. For the Time Being: Interpretive Consolation in Augustinian Time *
2. ‘Quanto minorem consideras’: Abelard’s Proportional Consolation * 3. Three Figures of the

'[Foucault] must be reckoned with.' – The New York
Times Book Review
These thirteen lectures on the 'punitive society,'
delivered at the Collège de France in the first three
months of 1973, examine the way in which the
relations between justice and truth that govern
modern penal law were forged, and question what links
them to the emergence of a new punitive regime that
still dominates contemporary society.

'The authors of Michel Foucault: A Research
Companion have provided an excellent overview of
Foucault's work grounded in a rigorous familiarity
with his diverse writings, lectures and interviews.
What particularly recommends it is the way
Foucault's investigations are shown to be part of a
consistent philosophical praxis conceived as both a
diagnosis of the present and a work on oneself. In whole, or in it parts, it will
prove exceedingly useful to researchers and students alike.' - Mitchell Dean,

diagnoses, his many ground-breaking analytical concepts as well as a systematic
account of his unique conception of philosophy.

hope that the wisdom offered in this unique book
will be widely embraced by leaders throughout the
world.' - Michael Carroll, COO, Global Coaching Alliance, and author of The

Affectivity and Philosophy after Spinoza
and Nietzsche
Lacanian Antiphilosophy
and the Problem of Anxiety
Making Knowledge the Most Powerful Affect
An Uncanny Little Object
Stuart Pethick, Independent Scholar, Denmark
Pethick investigates a much neglected philosophical
connection between two of the most controversial
figures in the history of philosophy: Spinoza and
Nietzsche. By examining the crucial role that affectivity
plays in their philosophies, this book claims that the
two philosophers share the common goal of making
knowledge the most powerful affect.

Brian Robertson, Independent Scholar, USA
'This exploration of anxiety provides not only a
path-breaking rethinking of the concept of anxiety
but also a wholly new way of thinking about Jacques
Lacan. Through Robertson's careful analysis, we
discover a Lacan who participates in the existentialist
project by reformulating its key concepts rather
than dismissing them. This book is a genuine
breakthrough.' - Todd McGowan, University of
Vermont, USA
This book brings Jacques Lacan's work on the problem
of anxiety into a jarring and fruitful confrontation with
phenomenology, existentialism, and the 'jargon' of
authenticity. Brian Robertson masterfully upends a
host of received philosophical truths - most notably, and crucially, the idea that
anxiety 'lacks an object.'

Secular Messiahs and the Return
of Paul’s ‘Real’
9781137513526
A Lacanian Approach
Concetta V. Principe, York University, Canada
‘In addition to its superb treatment of contemporary philosophy and cultural
theory, Principe's book engages with a rich array of early Jewish texts with
a breadth and sophistication that distinguishes it from almost everything
else written about these issues to date. Principe is clearly a thinker of crucial
importance, and her work on Paul as a figure of trauma within secularism and
universalism will be recognized as having far-reaching implications.' - Ward
Blanton, University of Kent, UK
This project engages with scholarship on Paul by philosophers, psychoanalysts,
and historians to reveal the assumptions and prejudices that determine the
messiah in secularism and its association with the exception.

Rumi and Shams’ Silent Rebellion
Parallels with Vedanta, Buddhism, and Shaivism
Mostafa Vaziri, University of Innsbruck, Austria
‘In these troubled times, when many focus their
attention on the differences between religions,
Vaziri masterfully presents us with the vision of one
of Islam's greatest saints who perceived the same
divine spirit of love and wisdom operating in all
religions.’ - Mark S. G. Dyczkowski, Sanskritist and
Scholar of Kashmir Shaivism and Tantra
This book offers a paradigm shift and fresh
interpretation of Rumi's message. After being
disentangled from the anachronistic connection with
the Mevlevi order of Islamic Sufism, Rumi is instead
placed in the world of philosophy.

METAPHYSICS
METAPHYSICS
Explorations in Post-Secular Metaphysics
Josef Bengtson, University of Southern Denmark
'Amid our post-secular age, we are witnessing not
just a 'return of religion', which never went away,
but also the resurgence of metaphysics – reflections
on the nature of reality. In this superb work, Josef
Bengtson shows that all conceptions of postsecularity rest on metaphysical assumptions. Thus
politics cannot be equated with second-order issues
of left-right or state-market but has to involve
first-order questions about the order of things –
including shared substantive ends such as individual
fulfilment, mutual flourishing and the common
good. This is a brilliant book that needs to be read by
all those interested in the concepts that can map our
present.' - Adrian Pabst, Senior Lecturer in Politics, University of Kent, UK, and
author of Metaphysics: the creation of hierarchy (2012)
This book explores the metaphysical assumptions that underlie different
interpretations of the relationship between religion and the secular, faith and
reason, and transcendence and immanence. It explores different answers to the
question of how people of diverse religious and cultural identities can live together
peacefully.

The Metaphysics of Emergence
9781137454492
Richard Campbell, Australian National University
This book argues that a plausible account of emergence
requires replacing the traditional assumption that what
primarily exists are particular entities with generic
processes. Traversing contemporary physics and issues
of identity over time, it then proceeds to develop a
metaphysical taxonomy of emergent entities and of
the character of human life.

Extended Rationality
A Hinge Epistemology
Annalisa Coliva, University of Modena and Reggio
Emilia, Italy
Extended Rationality provides a novel account of
the structure of epistemic justification. Its central
claim builds upon Wittgenstein's idea that epistemic
justifications hinge on some basic assumptions and
that epistemic rationality extends to these very hinges.
It exploits these ideas to address problems such as
scepticism and relativism.
Contents: PART I: MODERATISM ABOUT PERCEPTUAL
WARRANTS * PART II: FURTHER MOTIVATION FOR
MODERATISM * KNOWLEDGE AND BOOTSTRAPPING *
PART IV: THE EXTENDED RATIONALITY VIEW * PART V: THE

Jonathan Matheson, University of North Florida, USA
Discovering someone disagrees with you is a common
occurrence. The question of epistemic significance of
disagreement concerns how discovering that another
disagrees with you affects the rationality of your beliefs
on that topic. This book examines the answers that
have been proposed to this question, and presents and
defends its own answer.

Disagreement and the Equal Weight View * 5. Objections to the

The Norms of Assertion
Truth, Lies, and Warrant
Rachel McKinnon, College of Charleston, USA
When we make claims to each other, we're asserting.
But what does it take to assert well? Do we need to
know what we're talking about? This book argues that
we don't. In fact, it argues that in some special contexts,
we can lie.

CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY
A Rumor of Empathy
Rewriting Empathy in the Context of Philosophy
Against Orthodoxy
Social Theory and Its Discontents
Stanley Aronowitz, Graduate School, City University of
New York, USA
'Stanley Aronowitz is a national treasure and he
proves it once again with Against Orthodoxy. Every
page bristles with brilliance as he weaves his way
through the work of some of the intellectual giants
of social theory. Not only does this book provide
a witness to public memory, it also ties together
different strands of social theory while providing a
historical and relational context for understanding
the writers and theories under discussion. This book
is invaluable for both academics and the wider
public; a gift to theory and why it matters–a gift
to all of us struggling for a better and more just
world.' - Henry Giroux, McMaster University, Canada, Author of The Violence
of Organized Forgetting
The book contains groundbreaking and immersive essays on crucial 20th Century
scholars on social theory, discussed and analyzed from a radical, critical theory
perspective. Aronowitz provides his unique and lauded critical eye toward the
leading thinkers of our age, crafting an immersive set of essays on radical thought.
Contents: 1. The Unknown Herbert Marcuse * 2. Between Criticism and Ethnography: Raymond
Williams and the Invention of Cultural Studies * 3. A Critique of Methodological Reason * 4.
George Lukacs’s Destruction of Reason * 5. Henri Lefebvre: The ignored Philosopher and Social

Marx, Braverman and the Logic of Capital
Lou Agosta, Psychotherapist, 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.
Contents: Introduction: Rewriting the Definition of Empathy * 1. A Rumor of Empathy in
Hume’s Many Uses of Sympathy * 2. A Rumor of Empathy in Kant * 3. From a Rumor of
Empathy to a Scandal of Empathy in Lipps * 4. Rewriting Empathy in Freud * 5. Rewriting

Mihail Evans, Institute for Advanced Studies, Romania
Recent years have seen the rise of anti-politics as a
political phenomenon. Beyond this new rejection of the
political class there has long existed a deeper challenge
to the political itself. Identifying the work of Derrida
as 'a politics' and that of Baudrillard as 'transpolitics'
this book charts convergences and divergences in their
approaches.

HISTORY OF ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY
HISTORY OF ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY
Dummett on Analytical Philosophy
Edited by Bernhard Weiss, Department of Philosophy,
University of Cape Town, South Africa
HISTORY OF ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY SERIES
Dummett argues that the aim of philosophy is the
analysis of thought and that, with Frege, analytical
philosophy learned that the route to the analysis of
thought is the analysis of language. Here are bold and
deep readings of the subject's history and character,
which form the topic of this volume.

Frank Ramsey and the Realistic Spirit
Steven Methven, Worcester College, University of
Oxford, UK
This book attempts to explicate and expand upon
Frank Ramsey's notion of the realistic spirit. In so
doing, it provides a systematic reading of his work,
and demonstrates the extent of Ramsey's genius as
evinced by both his responses to the Tractatus LogicoPhilosophicus, and the impact he had on Wittgenstein's
later philosophical insights.

ETHICS AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY
THE PALGRAVE MACMILLAN ANIMAL
ETHICS SERIES
Modern Slavery
The Moral Equality of Humans and Animals
The Margins of Freedom
Julia O’Connell Davidson, University of Nottingham,
UK
'Passionately written, brilliantly researched and
replete with powerfully logical analysis, Julia
O'Connell's book should be required reading
for anyone claiming leadership in today's 'new
abolitionist movement.' Modern Slavery and The
Margins of Freedom establishes beyond dispute that
today's self-described antislavery movement fails
to address the fundamental realities of what slavery
actually is and what is driving its rapid expansion
all over the globe. Why, the book asks, do today's
abolitionists focus so narrowly on certain forms of
enslavement while utterly ignoring so many other
equally heinous practices? The deeply disturbing
answers to this question demand that today's abolitionists reexamine our
beliefs and revise our basic assumptions.' - James Brewer Stewart, Founder,
Historians Against Slavery and James Wallace Professor of History Emeritus,
Macalester College, USA
Mark Bernstein, Purdue University, USA
Received opinion has it that humans are morally
superior to non-human animals; human interests
matter more than the like interests of animals and the
value of human lives is alleged to be greater than the
value of nonhuman animal lives. Since this belief causes
mayhem and murder, its de-mythologizing requires
urgent attention.
Contents: Preface * 1. On the Relative Unimportance of
Human Interests * 1.1. Setting the Stage * 1.2. What Do We
mean When We Say that Human Interests are More Significant
than Animal Interests? * 1.3. Does the Cosmos Inform Us that
Human Interests are More Significant than Animal Interests? *
1.4. Should Humans Consider Human Interests More Significant
than Animal Interests? * 2. On the Relative Unimportance of Human Life * 2.1. Setting the Stage
* 2.2. The Disvalue of Death Argument * 2.3. Why Your Death is Less Important than You Think
* 2.4. The Problem With Valuing Capacities * 2.5. From Preservation to Creation * 2.6. Mill’s
Argument * Conclusion
Providing a unique critical perspective to debates on slavery, this book brings the
literature on transatlantic slavery into dialogue with research on informal sector
labour, child labour, migration, debt, prisoners, and sex work in the contemporary
world in order to challenge popular and policy discourse on modern slavery.

Animals in China
The Mystery of Moral Authority
Law and Society
Russell Blackford, University of Newcastle, Australia
'The mystery of moral authority is that we persist
in attributing objective and inescapable authority
to moral judgments even though there are so many
reasons not to do so. The Mystery of Moral Authority
is an accessible, up-to-date, thorough, convincing,
and fair-minded attempt to show that the 'mystery
of moral authority' has not been, and most likely
will not be, solved. To solve it one would need to
explain the source of the allegedly inescapable
objective authority that is commonly thought to
characterize moral judgments. In this book Blackford
recommends that we replace the idea of morality
as a collection of truths about how we ought to live
with the idea that it is a modifiable social technology
aimed at finding ways to live in groups. This realization frees us to replace
outmoded moral norms with practical ones more appropriate to our present
needs and circumstances.' - Richard Garner, author of Beyond Morality
Deborah Cao, Griffith University, Australia
'For anyone concerned about the suffering of
animals, nothing can be more important than the
attempt to improve animal protection in China.
This movement will have to come predominantly
from the Chinese people themselves, and they
will take their own path, which may not be the
same as the path currently being taken in the
West. Nevertheless, we in the West may be able
to encourage and assist them in some ways. To
do that we first need to understand what the
situation with regard to animals in China is. Reading
Animals in China: Law and Society is an essential step
towards that greater understanding. Deborah
Cao covers a wide area, and although her focus is on the law, she also helps
us to understand Chinese cultural practices with regard to animals and the
philosophical background to them.' - Peter Singer, Ira W. DeCamp Professor
of Bioethics at Princeton University, USA and Laureate Professor at the
University of Melbourne, Australia
Just as China is called the world factory for manufactured goods, it is also a world
factory for manufactured animal cruelty in a new phenomenon of globalized
animal cruelty. Animals in China examines animal protection in China in its legal,
social and cultural contexts.

Edited by Antonio Calcagno, King’s University College,
Canada, Jean Harvey, University of Guelph, Canada
'Admirers of Jean Harvey's earlier work will be
fascinated to read Civilized Oppression and Moral
Relations. Yet this new book also stands on its
own and is an important development of Harvey's
insights into the relationships among the agents
of civilized oppression, their victims, and the
bystanders who witness it. Drawing upon feminist
philosophy, Harvey recognizes the 'shared fallibility'
of agents, bystanders, and victims alike, and argues
compellingly for the importance of personal
relationships and moral solidarity as ways to resist
civilized oppression.' - Christine D. Overall, Queen's
University, Canada
This book discusses how civilized oppression (the oppression that involves neither
violence nor the law) can be overcome by re-examining our participation in it.
Moral community, solidarity and education are offered as vibrant strategies to
overcome the hurt and marginalization that stem from civilized oppression.

On Moral Certainty, Justification and Practice
A Wittgensteinian Perspective
Julia Hermann, Maastricht University, The Netherlands
Taking inspiration from the later Wittgenstein, On
Moral Certainty, Justification and Practice explores
the practical basis of human morality. It offers an
account of moral certainty, which it links with a view
of moral competence. Drawing on everyday examples,
it is shown how morality is grounded in action, not in
reasoning.

A Moral Defense of Recreational Drug Use
Perspectives since the Dawn of Modernity
Edited by Elvis Imafidon, Ambrose Alli University,
Nigeria
Through the works of key figures in ethics since
modernity this book charts a shift from dominant
fixated, objective moral systems and the dependence
on moral authorities such as God, nature and state
to universal, formal, fallible, individualistic and/or
vulnerable moral systems that ensue from the modern
subject's exercise of reason and freedom.

"This is a fascinating and wide-ranging collection
of essays that contributes strongly to the field
of literary animal studies. It is one of those rare
collections that combines historical with theoretical
acumen. It is a particular joy to see Irish poetry
treated with such reverence and sophistication in

— Dr Chris Danta, Senior Lecturer in English,
University of New South Wales, Australia

that it is – religious, nonreligious, harm-based, and nonharm-based – and contends that, by and large, they do
not succeed.

Ethics and Philosophical Critique
in William James
Sarin Marchetti, University College Dublin, Ireland
'Sarin Marchetti has written a fresh and strikingly
original interpretation of William James's moral
philosophy. He focuses on James's distinctive
approach to ethics and also illuminates the full range
of James's pragmatism. Marchetti shows how the
goal of philosophical reflection in James should be a
personal transformation in the way we understand
and conduct ourselves. This book is essential
reading for anyone interested in William James
and contemporary moral philosophy.' - Richard J.
Bernstein – New School for Social Research, USA
Marchetti offers a revisionist account of James's
contribution to moral thought in the light of his
pragmatic conception of philosophical activity. He sketches a composite picture
of a Jamesian approach to ethics revolving around the key notion and practice
of a therapeutic critique of one's ordinary moral convictions and style of moral
reasoning.

Science and the End of Ethics
Stephen G. Morris, Department of Political Science,
Economics & Philosophy, College of Staten Island
(CUNY), USA
‘Moral skepticism is an ancient idea, but the
debate over its merits has been recently enlivened
by a suspicion that scientific findings about the
evolutionary sources of human moral thinking might
somehow favor the skeptic's case. Stephen Morris
stakes out a radical skeptical position boldly and
clearly: science gives us strong reasons to doubt
the existence of moral facts. But Morris's aims are
ultimately constructive; in a sensitive and novel
discussion, he provides suggestions as to how science
could nonetheless help us to live more cooperative
and harmonious lives.’ - Richard Joyce, Victoria
University of Wellington, New Zealand
Science and the End of Ethics examines some of the most important positive and
negative implications that science has for ethics. On the basis of strong scientific
reasons for abandoning traditional notions of right and wrong, it endorses a new
ethical approach that focuses on achieving some of the key practical goals shared
by ethicists.
Without Ground: Lacanian Ethics
and the Assumption of Subjectivity
Now
available in
paperback
Calum Neill, Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland
'Over the years the scholarly output on 'Lacanian
ethics' has become so vast as to induce intellectual
indigestion in whoever decides to enter the field—
but not for much longer. In this brilliant book,
Calum Neill exempts the reader from having to
trawl through endless realms of Lacan-scholarship
by offering the clearest, most concise, and most
poignant discussion of what is really at stake: a
radical re-consideration of all the crucial dimensions
of ethics (the law, morality, guilt, responsibility
and desire) in light of a fundamental review of the
very notion of subjectivity. If you, reader, now hold
this book in your hands, I can only give you one
sound advice: Eat it!' - Dany Nobus, Professor of
Psychology and Psychoanalysis, Brunel University London, UK
In this groundbreaking book, Calum Neill explores the ideas of Jacques Lacan to
present a powerful argument for an approach to ethics which is neither rooted in a
traditional morality nor reduced to a relativism, an ethics, that is, which is without
ground.
Contents: Introduction: The Failure of Traditional Ethics * PART I: THE END (DEMISE) OF

Reading Karl Barth, Interrupting Moral
Technique, Transforming Biomedical Ethics
Ashley John Moyse, University of Newcastle, Australia
'This book persuasively diagnoses and critiques a
widely-held foundational belief that biomedical
ethics can operate according to a neutral and
universal common morality applicable in all
contexts. Moyse's challenge to this consensus
view deserves to be widely read.' - David Clough,
Professor of Theological Ethics, University of
Chester, UK
This volume proposes a move away from the
universalized and general modern ethical method,
as it is currently practiced in biomedical ethics, while
aiming toward a decision making process rooted in an
ontology of relationality. Moyse uses the theological
ethics of Karl Barth, in conversation with a range of thinkers, to achieve this turn.

'In her compelling and original book, Rhonda Shaw
points to the important ways sociology extends the
professional and philosophical conversation about

Active Intolerance
Michel Foucault, the Prisons Information Group,
and the Future of Abolition
Edited by Perry Zurn, Hampshire College, USA, Andrew
Dilts, Loyola Marymount University, USA
‘This is a powerful and compelling set of essays
exploring the context and legacy of the Prisons
Information Group and how their work might be
useful today. Decentering Foucault does more than
rightly recognize the role of others in this group.
It also helps us to understand Foucault's abiding
interest in collaboration, an interest that is reflected
in both his academic and activist work.' - Stuart
Elden, University of Warwick, UK
Formed in the wake of May 1968, the Prisons
Information Group (GIP) was a radical resistance
movement active in France in the early 1970's. Theorist
Michel Foucault was heavily involved. This book collects interdisciplinary essays
that explore the GIP's resources both for Foucault studies and for prison activism
today.

An Asian and Asian American Feminist Reading of the
Gospel of Mark
University, USA
Jin Young Choi, Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity
School, USA
‘This study of the Gospel of Mark represents an
incisive conjunction of early Christian studies with
postcolonial and feminist studies. It advances a
postcolonial feminist approach from the particular
perspective of the Asian and Asian American context,
thereby raising the problematic of ethnic-racial
studies as well. The result is a different reading of the
dynamics and mechanics involving the characters
of Jesus and followers—one in which the presence
of absence and the voice of silence are highlighted.
Markan studies is much the richer for it.’ - Fernando
F. Segovia, Oberlin Graduate Professor of New
Testament and Early Christianity, Vanderbilt
Jin Young Choi rereads discipleship in the Gospel of Mark from a postcolonial
feminist perspective, developing an Asian and Asian American hermeneutics of
phronesis. Colonized subjects perceive Jesus' body as phantasmic. Discipleship
means embodying the mystery of this body while engaging with invisible,
placeless and voiceless others.

Tibet on Fire
Buddhism, Protest, and the Rhetoric of Self-Immolation
John Whalen-Bridge, The Department of English
Language and Literature at National University of
Singapore
'John Whalen-Bridge bravely sets out to answer
hard questions: How are we to understand selfimmolation? Are there historical and philosophical
roots? Is suicide a Buddhist tradition? Is selfimmolation politically effective? This spiritually
profound book is vital reading in desperate times.'
- Maxine Hong Kingston, Institute of East Asian
Studies, University of California, Berkeley, USA
Using Kenneth Burke's concept of dramatism as a
way of exploring multiple motivations in symbolic
expression, Tibet on Fire examines the Tibetan
self-immolation movement of 2011-2015. The volume asserts that the selfimmolation act is an affirmation of Tibetan identity in the face of cultural
genocide.

The Formative Years of EATWOT
Kairos, Crisis, and Global Apartheid
The Challenge to Prophetic Resistance
Allan Aubrey Boesak, Christian Theological Seminary,
USA
'Boesak saw apartheid in South Africa for what it
was: heresy. Thirty years later he sets his eyes on
the apartheid girdling our globe, making critical
connections between issues too-often presented as
separate. Reading the signs of our time, Boesak urges
us to resist. A prophet speaks. We would do well
to listen—and act in hope.' - Melanie Duguid-May,
Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, USA
In 1985, the Kairos Document emerged out of the
anti-apartheid struggle as a devastating critique of
apartheid and a challenge to the church in that society.
This book is a call to discern new moments of crisis,
discernment and kairos, and respond with prophetic resistance to global injustice.
Contents: Introduction * 1. Hearing the Cry and Reading the Signs of the Times: ‘A Humanity
with a Kairos Consciousness’ * 2. At the Heart of it All: Kairos, Apartheid and the Calvinist

'The most important theological developments
for churches, inter-religious dialogues, and our
common global humanity do not arise from
developed countries. Since the 1976 founding of the
Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians,
the future of healthy, communal interaction among
and between people, the environment, and the
cosmos continues to unfold from the Third World or
developing nations. Joseph has written a masterful,
even magisterial, account of the hope and challenges
of EATWOT and how we have to heed its message
in order for humankind and all there is to survive
in the twenty-first century.' - Dwight N. Hopkins,
University of Chicago Divinity School, USA, and
author of Being Human: Race, Culture, and Religion
The Ecumenical Association of the Third World Theologians illuminated the
struggles of liberating the poor, and sought to do theology with the marginalized
seeking freedom, gender co-responsibility, and racial and ethnic equality. This
book offers an interpretative history of the formative years of this historic
movement.

The Cultural Impact of Kanye West
Now
available in
paperback
Edited by Julius Bailey, Wittenberg
University, USA
'Provocateur, egotist, sage, and artist, no figure in
the past decade of popular culture has reflected and
defined the zeitgeist better than Kanye West. This
collection lays bare the tangle of complexities and
contradictions that have made the artist and the
art indispensable to our era and proves that if game
recognizes game, wisdom does too.' - Jelani Cobb,
author of The Substance of Hope: Barack Obama and
the Paradox of Progress
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.
Film and Female Consciousness
Irigaray, Cinema and Thinking Women
Lucy Bolton, Queen Mary, University of London, UK
'With Film and Female Consciousness Lucy Bolton has
made an opportune and important intervention
in the field as well as a vital contribution to our
understanding of how the work of psychoanalyst
and philosopher Luce Irigaray provides fecund
material for feminist film theory.' - Anna Backman
Rogers, author, American Independent Cinema
Film and Female Consciousness explores the
representation of female consciousness on-screen and
demonstrates the ways in which the thought of Luce
Irigaray can be used to address the traditional problems
of the objectification of women in cinema as outlined
by feminist theory since the 1970s.

Emily Dickinson’s Rich Conversation
Richard E. Brantley, University of Florida, USA
'Brantley demonstrates triumphantly, through his
generous and engaging consideration of Dickinson’s
range of personae and of her innumerable
interlocutors, living or dead - in an oeuvre tuned
in both to Anglo-American poetry and to AngloAmerican philosophy and science - that what he calls
her ‘life-writing’ exhibits essentially an ‘allegiance
to dialogue’ . . . Richard Brantley is a superbly gifted
critic and (if one may use that term) a master of
Dickinson’s oeuvre.’ - Richard Gravil, The Wordsworth
Circle
Emily Dickinson's Rich Conversation is a comprehensive
account of Dickinson's aesthetic and intellectual life.
Through her letters and poems, Brantley identifies Dickinson's dialogue with John
Locke's rational empiricism, Charles Darwin's evolutionary biology, Wordsworth's
"natural Methodism," and Emerson's idealism.

Narrative Form
The Twilight of the Gods
Revised and Expanded Second Edition
Scott Freer, University of Leiceseter, UK
"Stylish, sophisticated and scholarly." - Professor
Phil Shaw, University of Leicester, UK
Modernist Mythopoeia argues that the experimental
modernist form of mythopoeia was directed towards
expressing a range of metaphysical perspectives that
fall between material secularism and dogmatic religion.
The book is a timely addition to the 'post-secular'
debate as well as to the 'return of religion' in modernist
studies.

Theatre and Aural Attention
Stretching Ourselves
George Home-Cook, Independent Researcher, UK
"This is a rigorous, innovative piece of scholarship
that forgoes conventional wisdom about sound and
hearing in favour of a new paradigm of theatrical
attendance that demonstrates the complexity of
this act, especially in productions that challenge
audiences sonically. George Home-Cook articulates
thought processes, bodily experiences, and ways
of interpreting acoustic phenomena that often go
unnoticed or may only be partially understood.
This book demonstrates how much there is to learn
about, and from, self-reflexive attention to the act
of listening in theatre." - Adrian Curtin, University of
Exeter, UK
Theatre and Aural Attention investigates what it is to attend theatre by means
of listening. Focusing on four core aural phenomena in theatre – noise, designed
sound, silence, and immersion - George Home-Cook concludes that theatrical
listening involves paying attention to atmospheres.
Contents: Introduction * 1. Paying Attention to (Theatre) Noise * 2. Paying Attention to
Designed Sound * 3. Sounding Silence * 4. Sensing Atmospheres * Conclusion * Appendix 1: (P.

Charles Nussbaum, University of Texas at Arlington,
USA
This work defends two main theses. First, modern
Western pornographic fiction functions as a selfdeceptive vehicle for sexual or blood-lustful arousal;
and second, that its emergence owes as much to
Puritan Protestantism and its inner- or this-worldly
asceticism as does the emergence of modern
rationalized capitalism.
Cristina Sánchez-Conejero, University of North Texas,
USA
Reflecting on a series of ethical and moral questions
significant to contemporary Spanish culture, Cristina
Sánchez-Conejero analyzes several issues related to
sexuality in gender as they're portrayed Spanish film.

The Recovery of Beauty:
Arts, Culture, Medicine
Trauma, Healing and Hopefulness
Davina Quinlivan, Kingston University, UK
'In this highly evocative book, Davina Quinlivan
combines Melanie Klein's thought with film theory
to argue that film and screen-based media can
serve as reparative objects for their viewers, with
the potential to heal and sustain hope. Compelling,
touching, and poised, Quinlivan's prose is a joy to
read.' – Sarah Cooper, author of The Soul of Film
Theory (Palgrave, 2013)
Edited by Corinne Saunders, University of Durham, UK,
Jane Macnaughton, University of Durham, UK, David
Fuller, Durham University, UK
An interdisciplinary collection of essays exploring the
complex and conflicted topic of beauty in cultural, arts

How does film affect the way we understand crises
of the body and mind and how does it manifest other
kinds of crises levelled at the spectator? This book
offers vital scholarly analysis of the embodied nature of
film viewing and the ways in which film deals with the
question of loss, the healing body and its material registering of trauma.

The Spiritual Dynamic in Modern Art
Art History Reconsidered, 1800 to the Present
The Sublime in Schopenhauer's Philosophy transforms

as to establish the sublime as a distinctive aesthetic
category with a broader existential and metaphysical
significance.

Charlene Spretnak, California Institute of Integral
Studies, USA
'While the role of spirituality in art has been
discussed for certain specific artists and movements,
Spretnak's work offers a rich and comprehensive
narrative of the networks of artists and artistic
movements influenced by spirituality that would be
valuable for any institution with a focus on modern
art and perhaps even as the basis of a course on
the subject.' - Art Libraries Society of North America
Reviews
This book demonstrates that numerous prominent
artists in every period of the modern era were

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.

What is depiction? A new answer is given to this
venerable question by providing a syncretistic theory
of depiction that tries to combine the merits of the
previous theories on the matter while dropping their
defects. Thus, not only perceptual, but also both
conventional and causal factors contribute in making
something a picture of something else.

Klein, Sartre and Imagination
in the Films of Ingmar Bergman
Chaucer and the Death of the Political Animal
Dan Williams, Freelance Teacher, UK
'This welcome and original study provides a
stimulating investigation into the imagination
and how the processes of imagining (dreams,
memories, nightmares and visions) are manifested
in Bergman's films. Williams' unique insight into the
confluences and discrepancies between philosophy
and psychoanalytic theory paves the way for an
enlightening exploration of Bergman's films.' - Laura
Hubner, University of Winchester, UK, author of The
Films of Ingmar Bergman: Illusions of Light and Darkness
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2007)
This book explores connections between the diverse
ideas of Melanie Klein, Jean-Paul Sartre and Ingmar
Bergman. These ideas are explored in relation to
their shared focus on imagination and through detailed readings of a number of
Bergman's key films.

Deleuze and Beckett
Edited by S.E. Wilmer, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland,
Audronė Žukauskaitė, Lithuanian Culture Research
Institute, Lithuania
'The respective projects of Gilles Deleuze and
Samuel Beckett may seem very divergent. Yet their
conjunction produces some extraordinarily rich
avenues of enquiry. This exhilarating collection of
essays offers rewarding discussions of encounters
between philosophical and performative, between
the open-ended spaces of creativity and the
closed spirals of memory and decline. It is highly
recommended to anyone interested in Deleuze
and Beckett, and in the intersections between
philosophy and literature.' - Mary Bryden, University
of Reading, UK
Deleuze and Beckett is a collection of essays on specific aspects of the Deleuze
and Beckett interface. Some of the world's leading Beckett and Deleuze specialists
apply different concepts of Deleuzian philosophy to a wide range of Beckett's
oeuvre, including his novels, short stories, and stage, film and television work.

Jameson S. Workman, Independent Scholar, USA
'Maintaining a radical, unconventional, and
ambitious thesis, to say the least, Workman
makes his case so fully, and with such learning and
conviction, that even his most resistant readers
will find themselves forced to interrogate the
comfort zone of their own critical habits of mind.
Whether or not Workman succeeds entirely in
elevating Chaucer's poetics into the neo-Platonic
sublime remains an open question. But what is
certain is this: Written with boldness and panache,
this wonderfully readable study articulates an
interpretative position that is unique among
contemporary studies - not only of Chaucer, but
of medieval literature generally.' - Peter W. Travis,
Professor of English, Dartmouth College, USA
Drawing from classical myth, the history of philosophy, literature, film, music,
and painting, Workman connects the artistic claims of Chaucer and tests them
against similar gestures in the history of philosophy and literature. What results is
a radical retake on Chaucer as a philosopher and poet, upending any preconceived
views.

A Relational Hermeneutic for Global Justice
Fuad Al-Daraweesh, The University of Toledo, USA,
Dale T. Snauwaert, The University of Toledo, USA
'Human Rights Education Beyond Universalism and
Relativism offers educators the foundation of the
reconciliation of two seemingly contradictory
approaches to the spheres of human experience
that have given rise to the concept of human rights,
universalism and cultural relativism, contending
modes of thinking that have posed challenges to
the emergence of a global moral inclusion regime.
Al-Daraweesh and Snauwaert offer a framework
and a potential alternative world view that holds the
promise of constructive, potentially transformative
change, and provide an unambiguous goal for this
alternative, global justice.' – From the preface by
Betty A. Reardon, founder and director of the Peace Education Center and
Peace Education Graduate Degree Concentration, Teachers College, Columbia

Through the preservation of the social, political, and cultural autonomies of
peoples within diverse cultural contexts, Al-Daraweesh and Snauwaert propose a
relational epistemology for human rights education.

Power and Education
Contexts of Oppression and Opportunity
9781137471079
Edited by Antonia Kupfer, Technical University of
Dresden, Germany
Education is a crucial influence early in life and is
therefore inextricably linked with power. This book
examines how education can limit opportunities and
create social inequality as well as being an empowering
force for good. Theoretical approaches on the
relationship of power and education are discussed as
are questions on power and knowledge.
Deleuze and Lifelong Learning
Creativity, Events and Ethics
Christian Beighton, Canterbury Christ Church
University, UK
This book examines Gilles Deleuze's ideas about
creativity in the context of lifelong learning, offering
an original take on this important contemporary topic
using cinematic parallels. Discussing Deleuze's difficult
notion of 'counter-actualization' as a form of creative
practice, it draws practical consequences for those
across a diverse sector.

'Succinct, accessible, insightful, Foucault and
Educational Ethics is indispensable reading, a book
both to study and to teach, a book that shows us
that education can be 'a process where one finds,
loses and transforms oneself in the activity of
learning.' Not the final word on Foucault, this primer
is a powerful and provocative beginning.' - William
F. Pinar, Professor and Canada Research Chair,
University of British Columbia, Canada
By investigating Michel Foucault's ethics, the book
explores how we form ourselves as ethical subjects.
This question is inseparable from the activities we
take on to educate others and ourselves. Foucault's
questioning of the ways we know ourselves and the ways we conduct ourselves
assists thinking and action in present educational ethics.

'The case studies presented in the book may not
replicate every class or situation you find yourself
in, but there are lessons you can learn from each
of them; from the concepts and contexts to how
different technologies can be used to address
each one. The book covers enough ground for you
to try things out for yourself and make informed
decisions on issues such as whether we use free and
'open' social network sites or concentrate on the
'walled garden' of the institutionally supplied VLE.' Association for Learning Technology Newsletter
For the education system to remain responsive to the needs and demands of its
multiple stakeholders it must embrace the innovation and research produced
by contemporary technology. This book traverses a wide range of conceptual,
disciplinary, methodological, national and sectoral boundaries to explore the
challenge presented.

Wittgenstein and Psychotherapy
From Paradox to Wonder
John M. Heaton, Regent’s University, UK
Using the work of Wittgenstein, John Heaton
challenges the notion of theoretical expertise on the
mind, arguing for a new understanding of therapy as
an attempt by patients to express themselves in an
effort to see and say what has not been said or seen,
and accept that the world is not as fixed as they are
constituting it.

Truth without Predication
PHILOSOPHY OF MIND AND COGNITIVE SCIENCE
The Role of Placing in the Existential There-Sentence
Rachel Szekely, Long Island University, USA
This book contains an original analysis of the
existential there-sentence from a philosophicallinguistic perspective. At its core is the claim that
there-sentences' form is distinct from that of ordinary
subject–predicate sentences, and that this fundamental
difference explains the construction's unusual
grammatical and discourse properties.

Social and Public Policy Issues
Robert H. Blank, University of Canterbury,
Christchurch, New Zealand
Rapid advances in cognitive neuroscience and
converging technologies have led to a vigorous ethical
and scientific debate over cognitive enhancement
for healthy individuals. This book explores these
less studied policy and political aspects of cognitive
enhancement to focus on the possible forms of
government involvement and future research.

Clayton Bohnet, Forhdam University, USA
This text examines the boundary between logic and
philosophy in Kant and Hegel. Through a detailed
analysis of 'quantity,' it highlights the different
ways Kant and Hegel handle this boundary. Kant is
consistent in maintaining this boundary, but Hegel
erases it and in the process transforms both logic and
philosophy.

Dynamics of Self-Preservation in Social Interaction, Personality
Structure, Subjective Experience, and Psychopathology
Ralf-Peter Behrendt, Princess Elizabeth Hospital,
Guernsey, UK
The book examines how coevolved intraspecific
aggression and appeasement gestures can give rise
to complex social, cultural, and psychopathological
phenomena. It argues that the individual's need
regulate narcissistic supplies and maintain feelings of
safety is the overriding determinant of human conduct
and thought in mental health and illness.

How Creativity Happens in the Brain
Arne Dietrich, American University of Beirut, Lebanon
'Once again, Arne Dietrich proves that he is one of
the brightest thinkers on the planet. With great
insight, clarity and humor, How Creativity Happens
In The Brain gives us a much needed breakdown of
the neuroscientific hows and whys of creativity.
This book is fantastic-a must read!' - Steven Kotler,
a New York Times bestselling author, award-winning
journalist, and cofounder and director of research for
the Flow Genome Project
How Creativity Happens In The Brain is about the brain
mechanisms of creativity, how a grapefruit-sized heap
of meat crackling with electricity manages to be so
outrageously creative. It has a sharp focus: to stick
exclusively to sound, mechanistic explanations and convey what we can, and
cannot, say about how brains give rise to creative ideas.

The Case Against Free Will
What a Quiet Revolution in Psychology has
Revealed about How Behaviour is Determined
Worldmaking: Psychology and
the Ideology of Creativity
David Lieberman, University of Stirling, UK
Michael Hanchett Hanson, Teachers College,
Columbia University, USA
'To understand the psychology of creativity one
needs to understand first the history and social
contexts in which the study of creativity originated.
Michael Hanchett Hanson's book offers us an
invaluable, scholarly reading of creativity as a
powerful ideology. As masterfully shown here, this
ideology is both intelligible by yesterday's ways of
worldmaking and calls for a deep reflection on the
role and function of creativity for tomorrow's worldin-the-making.' - Vlad Petre Glăveanu, Associate
Professor, Aalborg University, Denmark, Editor,
Europe's Journal of Psychology, author of Thinking
Through Culture and Creativity: An Integrative Model
Michael Hanchett Hanson weaves together the history of the development of
the psychological concepts of creativity with social constructivist views of power
dynamics and pragmatic insights. He provides an engaging, thought-provoking
analysis to interest anyone involved with creativity, from psychologists and
educators to artists and philosophers.

The Science of Subjectivity
Leibniz, Husserl and the Brain
Joseph Neisser, Neisser College, USA
Norman Sieroka, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Can neuroscience help explain the first-person
perspective? The Science of Subjectivity delves into
the nature of experience, arguing that unconscious
subjectivity is a reality. Neisser identifies the biological
roots of the first-person, showing how ancient systems
of animal navigation enable creatures like us to cope
with our worldly concerns.
This book is about structural relations between
phenomenological and neurophysiological aspects
of consciousness and time. Focusing on auditory
perception and making new and updated use of
Leibniz and Husserl, it investigates the transition from
unconscious to conscious states, especially with regard
to the constitution of phenomenal time.

Pragmatism and the Search
for Coherence in Neuroscience
Jay Schulkin, Georgetown University, USA
We have known for over a thousand years that the
brain underlies behavioral expression, but effective
scientific study of the brain is only very recent. Two
things converge in this book: a great respect for
neuroscience and its many variations, and a sense of
investigation and inquiry demythologized. Think of it as
foraging for coherence.

develops from intuition to representation and then
to linguistic interaction and thinking. Overcoming the
prevailing dogmas regarding how discursive reason
emerges, this book secures the psychological possibility

Paul Tillich’s Philosophical Theology
A Fifty-Year Reappraisal
George Pattison, University of Glasgow, UK
Paul Tillich's Philosophical Theology takes up the
challenge as to whether his thought remains relevant
fifty years after his death. In opposition to those
who believe that his writings have little to say to us
today, this book argues that his thought is largely
exemplary of open theological engagement with the
contemporary intellectual situation.

Steven Shakespeare, Theology, Philosophy and
Religious Studies Department at Liverpool Hope
University, UK
'One of the rising stars in the new generation of
theologians.... This book is an eloquent, meticulously
document, well-argued reading of Kierkegaard as
a theologian espousing the transformative power
of the immanent life of God in the world... [this is]
a must-read.' - John D. Caputo, Thomas J. Watson
Professor of Religion Emeritus, Syracuse University,
USA, and David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy
Emeritus, Villanova University, USA
Michael Brodrick, Miami University, USA
Knowing that we are finite, how can we live to the
fullest? Philosopher George Santayana suggested
'spirituality' enables us to enjoy what we have. This
book clarifies and extends Santayana's account of
spirituality, while suggesting how the detachment of
spirituality can relieve human suffering, enrich our lives,
and make us better human beings.

Kierkegaard and the Refusal of Transcendence
challenges the standard view that Kierkegaard's God
is infinitely other than the world. It argues that his work immerses us in the
paradoxical nature of existence itself, and opposes any flight into another world.

A Non-Philosophical Theory of Nature
Ecologies of Thought
Now
available in
paperback
Anthony Paul Smith, Religion Department, La Salle
University, USA
‘Ecology is often the object of overly simple and
inadequate philosophies; the revision of our
naturalist and philosophical concepts should,
however, go together. This is the aim of Anthony
Paul Smith's investigation which makes use of
the 'non-philosophical' hypothesis so as to bring
these new relations between nature and thought
up to date.’ - François Laruelle, Professor Emeritus,
Contemporary Philosophy, University of Paris X:
Ouest-Nanterre-La Défense, France
Utilizing François Laruelle's ‘non-philosophical’
method, Smith constructs a unified theory of
philosophical theology and ecology by challenging environmental philosophy
and theology, claiming that and engagement with scientific ecology can radically
change the standard metaphysics of nature, as well as ethical problems related to
‘the natural’.

Reza Hosseini, Rhodes University, South Africa
What could Wittgenstein's work contribute to the
rapidly growing literature on life's meaning? This book
not only examines Wittgenstein's scattered remarks
about value and 'sense of life' but also argues that
his philosophy and 'way of seeing' has far reaching
implications for the ways theorists approach an ancient
question: 'How shall one live?'.

Michael Sudduth, San Francisco State University, USA
Sudduth provides a critical exploration of classical
empirical arguments for survival—arguments that
purport to show that data collected from ostensibly
paranormal phenomena constitute good evidence
for the survival of the self after death. Utilizing the
conceptual tools of formal epistemology, he argues
that classical arguments are unsuccessful.

Phillip H. Wiebe, Trinity Western University ,Canada
'This is a thoughtful and engaging volume that
makes a significant contribution not only to the
philosophy of religion but to epistemology.' William Sweet, St Francis Xavier University, Canada
This book is Wiebe's defense of the claim that a
significant form of spiritual experience is found in
'knowing something we have no right to know'. He
selects forty-five first-hand accounts from a data-base
at the University of Wales to make his case, and, in
solidarity with those people, recounts something of his
own experience.

David Kreps, Salford University, UK
'This is no ordinary introduction to Henri Bergson.
What David Kreps' excellent study gives us is
Bergson, complexe: first, because there is no simple
way to take (or leave) Bergson's ideas – his thought
of durée, élan, and 'multiplicity' demands the most
subtle and nuanced reading to give them their full
justice; and second, because only by intertwining his
ideas with the most up-to-date research in systems
thinking, complexity theory, and poststructuralism
can we begin to understand their absolute
contemporaneity. Kreps' work does all this and more
– it gives us the Bergson we need for today.' - John

‘Any book that builds bridges between the

and author of Piero's Light and Where Darwin Meets
the Bible
As advanced by astronomer-cosmologist Sir Fred
Hoyle, astronomy, biology, astrobiology, astrophysics,

Abstract Market Theory
RELIGION AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
Jon Roffe, University of Melbourne, Australia
'A remarkable and vitally important book that puts
Deleuze and Guattari in conversation with the latest
advances in pricing and probability theory, notably
Ayache and Meillassoux. Roffe's development of
an immanent philosophical theory of the market
is commendable and unique, and now stands as a
necessary point of reference for future research.'
- Eugene Holland, Ohio State University, USA
Financial markets play a huge role in society but
theoretical reflections on what constitutes these markets

the history of modern mathematics, sociology and
anthropology, Abstract Market Theory elaborates a new
philosophy of the market in order to redress this gap between reality and theory.

Faith, Secularism, and Humanitarian
Engagement
Finding the Place of Religion in the Support of Displaced
Communities
Alastair Ager, Columbia University, USA, Joey Ager,
San Diego Organizing Project, USA
'Must humanitarian organizations be secular? Yes,
argue the authors of this insightful, timely, and
powerfully argued book, but only if the secular is
re-defined. It can no longer be seen as the ultimate
epistemic standpoint, surveying from above the
bewildering array of religious outlooks. We need a
secularism which recognizes dilemmas and a global
humanitarianism which recognizes that these
dilemmas can only be resolved in partnership and
exchange with the local. The authors explore this
dialogical alternative in a penetrating and convincing
style.' - Charles Taylor, Professor Emeritus, McGill
University, Canada, and author of A Secular Age
Strengthening local humanitarian engagement demands not only rethinking
dominant understandings of religion, but also revisiting the principles and
practices of humanitarianism. This book articulates key aspects of the 'transborder
discourse' necessary for humanitarian dialogue in the 21st century.

The Global Perspective
Edited by Elaine Padilla, New York Theological Seminary,
USA, Peter C. Phan, Georgetown University, USA
'To be a Christian is to base one's faith and theology
on stories of migration and immigration. Reflecting
on migration accounts occurring throughout the
globe today, this book provides a rich analysis to the
Christian faith and, in so doing, provides a corrective
theology.' - Miguel A. De La Torre, Iliff School of
Theology, University of Denver, USA
Christianities in Migration journeys through continents,
regions, nations, and villages, in order for the multiple
stories of migrants to serve as theological reflection of
diverse forms of indigenization of Christianity. It seeks
to provide a Christian and theological response to the
present trends of globalization and migration.

Religious Resistance to Neoliberalism
Womanist and Black Feminist Perspectives
Keri Day, Brite Divinity School, USA
'Keri Day insightfully probes the role of religion
in neoliberalism, incorporating a fresh, exciting,
politicized understanding of the erotic. Trenchant
critiques of neoliberalism foreground some of the
most socioeconomically vulnerable populations.
US womanist and black feminist ideas alongside
European theorists productively aid Day's reenvisioning of human flourishing in economic life.
Concrete examples and clarity of writing make
this a great text for the classroom.' - Traci C. West,
Professor of Ethics and African American Studies,
Drew University Theological School, USA
This text argues that engaging black feminist and
womanist religious perspectives with Jewish and Christian discourses offers more
robust religious critiques of alienating modes generated and exacerbated by a
neoliberal economy.

European Social Movements
and Muslim Activism
Another World but with Whom?
Timothy Peace, University of Stirling, UK
"In this rich study, Timothy Peace bridges two fields of
research: social movements and the politics of religion.
His book provides an original analysis of the successes
(and failures) of the participation of Muslim activists in
the protest campaigns of the Global Justice Movement.
Comparing two classical cases, France and Great
Britain, his work goes beyond existing knowledge of the
effects of citizenship regimes on political participation
by looking at the mechanisms that explain the different
reactions of social movements when faced with
diversity. This is an important contribution to social
movement studies." - Professor Della Porta, European
University Institute, Italy
How do progressive social movements deal with religious pluralism? In this book,
Timothy Peace uses the example of the alter-globalisation movement to explain
why social movement leaders in Britain and France reacted so differently to the
emergence of Muslim activism.

Triumphal Failures of Barbaric Thinking
Santiago Slabodsky, Department of Religion, Ethics and Society at Claremont
Lincoln University, USA
'Santiago Slabodsky's Decolonial Judaism arrives at the moment when a new
wave of Jewish prophetic thought is exploding on the world scene... In these
pages we experience the foundational thought necessary for Jews to move
beyond being victims or oppressors. Count this book a must read and as a
beginning of Slabodsky's contribution to the Jewish and global discourses
on justice in the world.' - Marc H. Ellis, retired University Professor of Jewish
Studies at Baylor University, USA, and author of Future of the Prophetic: Israel's
Ancient Wisdom Re-presented
Slabodsky explores the relationship among geopolitics, religion, and social
theory. He argues that during the postcolonial and post-Holocaust era, Jewish
intellectuals were influenced by Global South thought and mobilized these
intellectual resources to confront the neo-colonial assimilation of normative
Judaism.

Justice with Borders
Oliviero Angeli, Department of Political Science,
University of Dresden, Germany
'This rigorously argued innovative book discusses
the moral significance of territory. Using sharp
analytic tools Dr. Angeli exposes mercilessly the
fallacies in the traditional treatment of issues
including cosmopolitanism and self-determination.
Under his view moral cosmopolitanism does not
preclude territorial rights. This book challenges
the most entrenched beliefs of contemporary
political theorists and provides an original and
a compelling alternative which will greatly
influence contemporary discourse concerning the
international order.' – Alon Harel, The Hebrew
University of Jerusalem, Israel
Territorial rights are often perceived to create barriers and discriminate against
the poor. This study challenges that notion by re-examining the cosmopolitan
understanding of territory. It addresses issues from the right to vote, the right to
exclude others to the legitimacy of territorial boundaries and the exploitation of
natural resources.
Challenging the Phenomena of Technology
Matt Hayler, University of Birmingham, UK
This book investigates what 'technology' is, what it
helps us to do, and what it forces us to consider about
our experience of being in the world. Using e-readers,
such as the Kindle and iPad, as a case study, this work
argues that the use of technology is more complicated
and more human than public discussion often gives it
credit for.

and commutative justice.

Department of Political Science, University of North
Texas, USA
'The decade of the 1930s saw Leo Strauss make
his fundamental breakthroughs in the meaning of
classical political philosophy and the possibility of its
recovery. This collection of essays by distinguished
scholars, with newly translated works by Strauss,

in this period.'—Richard Velkley, Celia Scott

University, USA
The first comprehensive effort to examine Strauss's
astonishingly wide-ranging writings of the 1930s (some of which have only recently

AND PUBLIC POLICY SERIES
Towards an Individuated Approach to Cultural Diversity
Annamari Vitikainen, Uiversity of Helsinki, Finland
An Expressive Theory of Punishment
Bill Wringe, Department of Philosophy, Bilkent
University, Turkey
This book argues that punishment's function is
to communicate a message about an offenders'
wrongdoing to society at large. It discusses both
'paradigmatic' cases of punishment, where a state
punishes its own citizens, and non-paradigmatic
cases such as the punishment of corporations and the
punishment of war criminals by international tribunals.

A Theory of Truces
Nir Eisikovits, Department of Philosophy, Suffolk
University, Boston, USA
'In A Theory of Truces, Nir Eisikovits aims to revive
interest in the often ignored and disparaged idea
of a truce. Against the assumption that war and
peace are the only options, he shows why truces
are often better than continued warfare or seeking
peace under impossible circumstances. Through
careful analysis, interesting discussions of a variety
of thinkers, and insightful case studies, Professor
Eisikovits shows how truces can save lives and
diminish hostilities when peace is unattainable'.
- Stephen Nathanson, Emeritus Professor of
Philosophy at Northeastern University, USA, and
author of Terrorism and the Ethics of War
This book argues that understanding truces is crucial for our ability to wind down
wars. We have paid too much attention to the idea of permanent peace, yet few
conflicts end in this way. The book describes how truce makers think, which truces
can be morally justified and provides a philosophical history of truce making in the
Western tradition.
Contents: Introduction * 1. A Theory of Truces * 2. The Legitimacy of Truce Thinking * 3. Truces

Social Injustice
Vittorio Bufacchi, Department of
Philosophy, University College, Cork, Ireland
''[A] thought-provoking and compelling contribution
to political philosophy, one that should be read by
scholars of any discipline who are interested in social
injustice.' -Siobhan O'Sullivan, Mary Immaculate
College, University of Limerick, Ireland, Irish Journal
of Public Policy
The idea of social injustice is pivotal to much
contemporary moral and political philosophy. Starting
from a comprehensive and engaging account of the
idea of social injustice, this book covers a whole range

torture, moral motivations, democratic theory, voting

Michael Byron, Kent State University, USA
'An insightful book that challenges the widespread
claim that Hobbesian subjects obey the sovereign
out of fear of punishment. Instead, Michael Byron
convincingly develops the idea that for Hobbes, good
subjects obey the law 'sincerely from the heart'.
An important contribution to the philosophical
literature on Hobbes's political theory.' - Luciano
Venezia, National University of Quilmes, Argentina
Leviathan invests the sovereign with nearly absolute
power, and that vast sovereign has drawn the reader's
eye for 350 years. Yet Hobbes has much to say about
subjects as well, and he articulates a normative
conception of a good subject.

Cabinet for the Government of Western Australia
'This is an accessible and erudite engagement with
controversial and highly important human rights
issues. The book makes a significant and original
contribution to a long-neglected area of study in
the otherwise voluminous literature around human
rights.' – Katharine Gelber, Professor of Political

Despite the existence of the UN Convention on
the Rights of the Child there still exists a debate on
whether children can really hold rights. This book
presents a clear theory of children's rights by examining
controversial case studies. The author presents a pathway to translating rights

The Politics of Autonomy in Latin America
The Art of Organising Hope
Ana Cecilia Dinerstein, Department of Social and Policy
Sciences, University of Bath, UK
'Terrific and necessary. An excellent and informative
account of the wonderful movements of revolt in
Latin America in recent years.' - John Holloway,
Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Mexico
The author contests older concepts of autonomy as
either revolutionary or ineffective vis-à-vis the state.
Looking at four prominent Latin American movements,
she defines autonomy as 'the art of organising hope': a
tool for indigenous and non-indigenous movements to
prefigure alternative realities at a time when utopia can
be no longer objected.

2. Meanings of Autonomy: Trajectories, Modes, Differences * 3. Autonomy in the Key of Hope:

Marx, the Body, and Human Nature
John Fox, Victoria University, Australia
Marx, the Body, and Human Nature shows that the
body and the broader material world played a far
more significant role in Marx's theory than previously
recognised. It provides a fresh 'take' on Marx's theory,
revealing a much more open, dynamic and unstable
conception of the body, the self, and human nature.

Arab Liberal Thought after 1967
The Man Problem
Old Dilemmas, New Perceptions
Destructive Masculinity in Western Culture
Edited by Meir Hatina, The Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel, Christoph Schumann, University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany
'This innovative work provides an important
perspective of how liberal thought and Islamic
practice interacts in Middle Eastern life. The nuanced
examination of the variety of liberal expression is a
must read for anyone interested in understanding
how abstract liberal principles are contextualized to
expand freedom and democracy in the Middle East.'
M. Hakan Yavuz, University of Utah, USA
This volume aims at confronting the image of the
Middle East as a region that is fraught with totalitarian
ideologies, authoritarianism and conflict. It gives voice
and space to other, more liberal and adaptive narratives and discourses that endorse
the right to dissent, question the status quo, and offer alternative visions for society.

Ross Honeywill, University of Tasmania, Tasmanian
School of Business & Economics, Australia
'This book explores the potential for evil in men and
traces its various manifestations in cultural texts,
social systems, and everyday life. Ross Honeywill
provides an excellent analysis of theoretical
concepts and social processes that have been
crucial to the development of Western culture. His
discussion of contemporary culture is both revealing
and convincing, and fully supports the concluding
claim that it is in the culture of knowledge that
the potential for men to 'exercise true, fully
agentic morality' should be located.' - Katarzyna
Więckowska, Nicolaus Copernicus University,

This book reveals destructive masculinity as the social, political, and economic
problem of our age. It not only diagnoses destructive masculinity, but also
reveals a possible way forward–a prognosis for society to surpass the annihilative
potential that resides in masculinity.

The Non-Sovereign Self, Responsibility,
and Otherness
Hannah Arendt, Judith Butler, and Stanley Cavell on Moral
Philosophy and Political Agency
Rosine Kelz, Independent researcher and translator,
USA
'I would highly recommend this book to anyone
interested in questions pertaining to identity,
agency and ethics from a global politics perspective.
This book uniquely situates us in conversation
with key thinkers Arendt, Butler and Cavell and,
from this vantage point, asks us to engage with
these questions anew - specifically towards the
development of a 'non-sovereign self.' Towards
this end, I was particularly fascinated by Kelz's
thought-provoking critique of Butler in terms of
anthropocentrism and, following from this, Kelz's
development of a framework that urges us to
revisit the ways we conceptualise our relations with
Others, including non-human lives.'
–Tina Managhan, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, Oxford Brookes
University, UK
Drawing on Hannah Arendt, Judith Butler and Stanley Cavell, this book addresses
contemporary theoretical and political debates in a broader comparative
perspective and rearticulates the relationship between ethics and politics by
highlighting those who are currently excluded from our notions of political
community.

Politics, Commonalities and the Natural Environment
Glen Lehman, University of South Australia, Australia
The author uses the work of the eminent Canadian
philosopher, Charles Taylor, to develop a critique
of those political perspectives that are based on
instrumental ways to reason about the world, claiming
that such perspectives invariably sever the connections
between the social and natural worlds.
Marx’s Rebellion Against Lenin

Marx's Rebellion Against Lenin, by negating the

Subjectivity, Gender and the
Struggle for Recognition
Cosmopolitan Animals
Paddy McQueen, Queen’s University Belfast, UK
In this book Paddy McQueen examines the role that
'recognition' plays in our struggles to construct an
identity and to make sense of ourselves as gendered
beings. It analyses how such struggles for gender
recognition are shaped by social discourses and power
relations, and considers how feminism can best
respond to these issues.

Cosmopolitan Animals asks what new possibilities
and permutations of cosmopolitanism can emerge
by taking seriously our sharing and 'becoming-with'
animals. It calls for a fresh awareness that animals
are important players in cosmopolitics, and that
worldliness is far from being a human monopoly.

Environment, Political Representation,
and the Challenge of Rights
Speaking for Nature
Mihnea Tanasescu, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
'This book opens up new and fascinating territory:
it is the first detailed analysis of the idea and legal
reality of 'the rights of nature'. What makes it
even more interesting is that Tanasescu offers an
exceptionally fruitful blend of precise conceptual
analysis and thorough empirical research. Not to
mention that it is simply a very pleasant read.' - M.L.J.
Wissenburg, Radboud University, The Netherlands
Tanasescu examines the rights of nature in terms
of its constituent parts. Besides offering a thorough
theoretical grounding, the book gives a first detailed
overview of the actual cases of rights for nature so far.
This is the first comprehensive treatment of the rights
of nature to date, both analytically and in terms of actual cases.

The Betrayal of Politics
Edited by Gregory Smulewicz-Zucker, Baruch College,

'Radical Intellectuals and the Subversion of Progressive
Politics is a wonderful and long overdue book. It
stakes out very important ground in challenging
the various theoreticist evasions — from
postmodernism, fetishization of Arendt, Zizek,
Foucault and others — that have propelled and
perfumed the articulation of an academic leftism
that imagines itself to have transcended obsolete
notions class struggle as an epistemic category.
These discrete studies, and the book as a whole,
should be core reading both for those interested in
the thinkers and trends the chapters examine and
for anyone interested seriously in left theory and practice and the intellectual
history of the last generation of academic leftism.' - Adolph Reed, Jr.,

Applying critical sociological theory, this book explores

efforts. Building a case for a scientifically-grounded
grassroots approach, it is argued that professionalized
advocacy that works in the service of theistic, capitalist,

success.

RELIGION AND CULTURE
Engaged Teaching in Theology and Religion
Dickens, Religion and Society
Robert Butterworth, Independent scholar, UK
Dickens, Religion and Society examines the centrality of
Dickens's religious attitudes to the social criticism he is
famous for, shedding new light in the process on such

Dickens's sentimentality.
Renee K. Harrison, Howard University School of
Divinity, USA, Jennie S. Knight, Guilford College, USA

know-how that is much needed in theological
education. The theoretical explanation is enriched
and vivified by personal reflection and suggestions of
practice.' - Nancy Lynne Westfield, Drew University,
USA
This book guides scholars and teachers of theology and
religion through a process of self-reflection that leads
to intentional, transformative teaching, dialogue, and
reform in theological education and religious studies.

Race, Religion, and Resilience
in the Neoliberal Age
Religion in Diaspora
Cultures of Citizenship
Edited by Jane Garnett, University of Oxford, UK,
Sondra L. Hausner, University of Oxford, UK
'The need for boldly comparative and theoretically
sophisticated work on diasporas has become
increasingly obvious in recent years. This book
responds to that need brilliantly as it crosses
disciplinary boundaries in presenting case studies
of interactions between religion, diaspora and
citizenship from around the world. Taken together,
the chapters present us with methodological as well
as theoretical inspiration. They also encourage us to
consider still wider questions, about the connections
and disjunctions between forms of political, cultural
and religious belonging, and the links between
territory and association in human life, past and
present.' - Simon Coleman, University of Toronto, Canada
This edited collection addresses the relationship between diaspora, religion and
the politics of identity in the modern world. It illuminates religious understandings
of citizenship, association and civil society, and situates them historically within
diverse cultures of memory and state traditions.

neoliberalism in the aftermath of the modern Civil
Rights movement, with particular attention given to

context.

The Rise of Muslim Consciousness
Nasar Meer, University of Strathclyde, UK
'Widely researched and lucidly organized and
written, this book is a timely contribution to the
study of Muslim engagement with education, media,
and political activism in the United Kingdom. It
focuses on current developments at the same time
that it draws on legal and parliamentary history
and on the theoretical insights of sociologists such
as W.E.D. Du Bois. Nasar Meer advances innovative
paradigms for anchoring Muslim identity in the
dynamic religious life of twenty-first century
Britain.' - Professor Nabil Matar, University of
Minnesota, USA
In this updated new paperback, Meer further develops a
novel sociological and political understanding of Muslim identities in Britain. Using
case studies of Muslim mobilizations over issues of education, discrimination
legislation and media representation, it also considers the local impact of global
concerns such as terrorism and radicalism.

'Globalized Muslim Youth in the Asia Pacific is an
interesting study of Muslim youth in two cities:
Singapore and Sydney. The author effectively
challenges the view that global forces are
homogenizing Muslim youth in the world, and the
result is an informative and useful sociological
study.' – Talal Asad, Distinguished Professor of
Cultural Anthropology, City University of New York,

This book is a sociological study of Muslim youth
culture in two global cities in the Asia Pacific: Singapore
and Sydney. Comparing young Muslims' participation
in and reflections on various elements of popular culture, this study illuminates
the range of attitudes and strategies they adopt to reconcile popular youth
culture with piety.

Hierarchy and Pluralism
CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY
OF RELIGION SERIES
Living Religious Difference in Catholic Poland
Agnieszka Pasieka, Polish Academy of Sciences
'In a masterful study of pluralism and religion in
Poland, Pasieka's intensive ethnographic work shows
how, in the context of continued and sometimes
sharp boundaries defined by religion and ethnicity,
ordinary villagers construct their own, pluralistic
social worlds—not nullifying those boundaries
but allowing overlapping and shifting friendships
and cooperation to flourish.' - John R. Bowen,
Dunbar-Van Cleve Professor in Arts and Sciences,
Washington University, St. Louis, USA; author of
Why the French Don't Like Headscarves (2006)

'A provocative study that draws on the traditional
strengths of [anthropology]: village community,
reflexive ethnography, ritual and everyday life . . . In
addition to scholars of Christianity, anthropologists
of Europe, and those interested in the globalization
of religion generally, this book could make a good
pairing with other works on religious life taking
different theoretical turns and engaging distinct
ethnographic settings . . . Webster's work makes
an excellent contribution to the Contemporary
Anthropology of Religion series and portends more
good things to come from this young scholar.' -
Through his ethnographic study of the fishermen and their religious beliefs,
Webster speaks to larger debates about religious radicalism, materiality,
economy, language, and the symbolic. These debates also call into question
assumptions about the decline of religion in modern industrial societies.

GENDER, SEXUALITY, AND RELIGION
Women’s Bodies as Battlefield
Christian Theology and the Global War on Women
Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, Chicago Theological
Seminary, USA
‘Reverend Thistlethwaite makes an important
contribution to the current debate on the wars we
are waging and how they affect violence against
women. Her treatment of Christian notions of ‘just
war’ makes this essential reading for those who
are motivated by Jesus' words: 'Blessed are the
peacemakers.'‘ - Jimmy Carter, 39th President if the
United States, Co-Founder of The Carter Center
Christian theology has been complicit in justifying
the war on women, but it also has resources to help
finally declare peace in the war on women. War itself
has come to resemble the war on women, and thus
strategies to end the war on women, supported by new Christian theological
interpretations, will also help end today's endless wars.

Religion, USA
’This volume not only gives us fresh and provocative
renderings of Christian thought, but shows us why it
matters to a world groaning for redemption. To hear
the voices of women is, in fact, to hear the voice of
the church, and in this volume we hear the voice of
the church speaking clearly and relevantly.’ - Willie

Intersex, Theology, and the Bible
Troubling Bodies in Church, Text, and Society
Edited by Susannah Cornwall, Lincoln Theological
Institute in the Department of Religions and Theology,
School of Arts, Languages and Cultures, University of
Manchester, UK
'In this rich and multi-dimensional study, Susannah
Cornwall has shown that intersex is a critically
important, theologically suggestive, and historically
threatening category in the practice and study of
religion. This examination of a neglected subject is
required reading for anyone who cares about bodies,
gender, or religion.' - Candida Moss, University of
Notre Dame, USA
Intersex bodies have been figured as troubling by
doctors, parents, religious institutions and society at
large. In this book, scholars draw on constructive and
pastoral theologies, biblical studies, and sociology, suggesting intersex's capacity
to 'trouble' is positive, challenging unquestioned norms and assumptions in
religion and beyond.

This book explores the controversial social media
practices engaged in by girls and young women,
including sexual self-representations on social network
sites, sexting, and self-harm vlogs. Informed by feminist
media and cultural studies, Dobson delves beyond alarmist accounts to ask what

Building a New World
Edited by Luce Irigaray, The European Graduate School,
Switzerland, Michael Marder, Department of
Philosophy, University of the Basque Country
(UPV-EHU), Spain
'Now, perhaps only the fact of thinking can still
rescue humanity, our planet and all living beings thinking as an act that concerns the whole being, and
especially the heart, the organ that can join together
the corporeal part to the spiritual part of our
human being, and allow the old man of our Western
tradition to attain a new humanity.' - Luce Irigaray
Equal Opportunity and the Case for State
Sponsored Ectogenesis
Evie Kendal, Monash University, Australia
Ectogenesis refers to the artificial gestation of a fetus
outside the womb. Despite certain advantages for
women's reproductive liberty, feminist groups remain
divided regarding this technology. This book argues
that reproduction imposes unjust burdens on women,
and thus the ideals of equal opportunity demand
continued research into ectogenesis.
Contents: Introduction: The Need for Ectogenesis * Background:
The Story thus Far * 1. Promoting Equal Opportunity through
Ectogenesis * 2. Protecting Equal Opportunity from Ectogenesis
* 3. Providing Equal Opportunity to Ectogenesis * Conclusion
With an original introduction by Luce Irigaray, and
original texts from her students and collaborators, this
book imagines the outlines of a more just, ecologically
attuned world that flourishes on the basis of sexuate difference.

Reading Mary Alongside Indian
Surrogate Mothers
Troubling the Waves
Dawn Llewellyn, University of Chester, UK
'Through an engaging approach that moves beyond
imagined readers and assumptions about Christian
and post-Christian feminism, Reading, Spirituality,
and Feminism: Troubling the Waves demonstrates how
women are actively constructing feminist spirituality
through their diverse reading practices. By focusing
on women's reading strategies, Llewellyn challenges
typical conceptions of feminism, exposes the limits
of feminist theologians' work, and highlights the
possibilities for connection across generational,
disciplinary, and religious divides.' - Lynn S. Neal,
Associate Professor of Religion, Wake Forest
University, USA and author of Romancing God:
Evangelical Women and Inspirational Fiction
Violent Love, Oppressive Liberation, and Infancy Narratives
Sharon Jacob, Luther College, USA
'Sharon Jacob's book on Indian surrogate mothers
and Mary's conception through the Holy Spirit in
Matthew's and Luke's Gospel shows how biblical
texts from the first century and a complex global
problem of the twenty-first century can shed light
on each other. After reading this book, I will never
be able to read the birth narratives of the Gospels
without thinking of Jacob's provocative questions
about these passages.' - Tat-siong Benny Liew,
Class of 1956 Professor in New Testament Studies,
College of the Holy Cross, USA
This book attempts to read the character of Mary in
the infancy narratives of Luke and Matthew alongside
the lives of experiences of the Indian surrogate mother living a postcolonial India.
Reading Mary through these lenses helps us see this mother and her actions in a
more ambivalent light, as a mother whose love is both violent and altruistic.

Through original interviews and research, Llewellyn uses spirituality to uncover

The Agency of Victims and Perpetrators
Edited by Herjeet Marway, University of Birmingham,
UK, Heather Widdows, University of Birmingham, UK
'This exciting volume explores the many facets of
women and violence. The authors address a range
of important topics including rape, prostitution,
self-harm, pornography, suicide bombing, and birth,
and theorise them using a range of philosophical
concepts. Issues of agency, consent, coercion,
victimhood and autonomy recur throughout the
book, such that the reader gains a rich insight not
only into various types of gendered violence but also
into the concepts that are needed to understand
them philosophically. This collection is essential
reading for students and researchers interested in
all aspects of feminism in particular, and political
philosophy in general.' - Clare Chambers, University of Cambridge, UK
This edited collection explores the agency of women who do violence and have
violence done to them. It contributes to the philosophical and theoretical debate,
as well as offering practical, social and political responses to the issues examined.

Andrea Nye, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, USA
'This book stands to significantly alter the scholarly
conversation about Diotima particularly and the
role of the feminine in culture more generally.' Anne-Marie Schultz, Professor of Philosophy, Baylor
University, USA
Few women's voices have survived from the antiquity
period, but evidence shows that, especially in the area
of religion, women were influential in Greek culture.
Drawing on Socrates' Symposium, Nye advances this
notion by not only exploring the original religious
meaning of Diotima's teaching but also how that
meaning has been lost throughout time.

‘This book is a cutting-edge contribution to the field
of pastoral care and counseling. It confronts the
mental illnesses caused by the inequalities of the
current economy and outlines how 'pastoral power'
can be used to help cure the emotional sickness that
arises from social class oppression. Every pastoral
minister faces this challenge constantly in the lives
of their people; here is an invaluable resource to
address it.’ - Thomas Groome, Boston College, USA
This book explores the suffering of social class and how
traditional biomedical models for mental illness do not
adequately account for the stresses of poverty. Turning
to mental health user testimonies, this book equips ministers and counsellors to

Meta-Ecclesiology
Chronicles on Church Awareness
Cyril Hovorun, Yale Divinity School, Yale University,

'The originality of this work lies in its
comprehensiveness, taking into account as it does
the East-West axis in ecclesiology. This is a brilliantly
written book.' - Sven-Erik Brodd, Uppsala University,

The book explores the variables and invariables of
the church. Its argument is that self-awareness of the
church was often a matter of change, depending on
historical circumstances. It encourages appreciating
plurality in the church and sets the system of
coordinates for identifying the ecclesial 'self'.

This book explores the ways in which emotions were
conceptualised and practised in Christian mission
contexts from the 17th-20th centuries. The authors
show how emotional practices such as prayer, tears,
and Methodist 'shouting', and feelings such as pity,
joy and frustration, shaped relationships between
missionaries and prospective converts.

Kenneth Wilson, College of Social Sciences, the
University of Birmingham,UK
‘This book, while rooted in a theological conception
of gratitude, relates it helpfully to two other current
discourses: the recent psychological/philosophical
discourse on gratitude and the recent discourse
on professionalism, professional practice, and
professional virtues. This is a worthwhile enterprise,
cleverly executed by the author. A thoughtprovoking and inspiring book.’ - Kristján Kristjánsson,
Professor of Character Education and Virtue Ethics,
Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues, University
of Birmingham, UK
This book asserts that gratitude for God's gift of
creation grounds the insight of positive psychology that grateful persons act
pro-socially. Kenneth Wilson posits that a sense of gratitude encourages sacrificial
service and reveals all behavior to have at heart an essential moral quality.

is measured to confirm that self-declared Muslim

Western countries, on the other hand, are

Muslimism in Turkey and Beyond
The Sunna and its Status in Islamic Law
Religion in the Modern World
The Search for a Sound Hadith
Neslihan Cevik, Institute for Advanced Studies in
Culture, University of Virginia, USA
'Neslihan Cevik has written a ground-breaking book
on the social, religious, and political transformation
of Islam in contemporary Turkey. The innovations
represented by what she calls 'Muslimism' portend
profound changes for Turkey and, quite possibly,
other parts of the Islamic world. Theoretically
grounded, empirically rich, and cogently written,
this book is essential reading for all interested in the
fate of Islam in late modernity.' – James Davison
Hunter, Labrosse-Levinson Distinguished Professor
of Religion, Culture, and Social Theory, University of
Virginia, USA
This book identifies a new Islamic form in Turkey: Muslimism. Neither
fundamentalism nor liberal religion, Muslimism engages modernity through
Islamic categories and practices. This new form has implications for discussions of
democracy and Islam in the region, similar movements across religious traditions,
and social theory on religion.

Aroosa Kanwal, International Islamic University,
Pakistan
'This book identifies and engages with a topic of prime
importance, namely Pakistani Muslims' post-9/11
literary production. Given that Malala Yousafzai was
recently co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to great
acclaim from the world and mixed feelings from many
Pakistanis, few can doubt that there is much at stake
in the images produced of Islam by cultural, media,
and marketing forces. Aroosa Kanwal effectively
uses writers' journalism to illuminate their fictional
works, and is a consummate reader of both texts
and theories. Today's Pakistani authors are 'writing
back' to dominant discourses in important ways, and
Kanwal is one of the best emerging scholars exploring
their work.' — Claire Chambers, University of York, UK
This book focuses on the way that notions of home and identity have changed for
Muslims as a result of international 'war on terror' rhetoric. It uniquely links the post9/11 stereotyping of Muslims and Islam in the West to the roots of current jihadism
and the resurgence of ethnocentrism within the subcontinent and beyond.

Same God, Other god
Judaism, Hinduism, and the Problem of Idolatry
Alon Goshen-Gottstein, The Elijah Interfaith Institute,
Israel
'Alon Goshen-Gottstein has provided us with a
masterful exploration of the status of Hinduism as
Avoda Zara (idolatry) and has opened up the category
of Avoda Zara for deep interrogation. This is a much
needed exercise in a global age and one that will be
helpful to Jewish seekers, halachists, and theologians,
as they reflect on world religions as a whole, and
on Hinduism in particular.' - Rabbi Daniel Sperber,
Professor of Talmud, Bar Ilan University, Israel
Jews often consider Hinduism to be Avoda Zara,
idolatry, due to its worship of images and multiple
gods. By appealing to the history of Judaism's view
of Christianity, this book seeks to define what Avoda Zara is and how one might
recognize the same God in different religions, despite legal definitions.
Contents: Preface * PART I: PRESENTATIONS * PART II: INTRODUCING AVODA ZARA * PART III: THE
OTHER GOD - DEFINING AVODA ZARA * PART IV, THE SAME GOD - RETHINKING HINDUISM *

Religion and Post-Conflict Statebuilding
Roman Catholic and Sunni Islamic Perspectives
Denis Dragovic, University of Melbourne, Australia

has seen the importance of religion in political life
while serving in conflict zones around the world.
This fascinating study adds to that lived experience
rigour and scholarship, resulting in an insightful
comparative study of Catholicism and Islam.

of International Relations at the University of St
Andrews and Director of the Centre for Global
Constitutionalism
This book draws upon theory and theology to consider how religious institutions

resources to the endeavour. Drawing from the theologies of Roman Catholicism
and Sunni Islam, Dragovic explores their possible motivations to engage alongside
the international community.

Humanitarian Worker, Japan
'I rarely learned so much by reading a book. This
book, based upon a thorough understanding of
international humanitarian law (IHL), Islamic law,
Afghan culture, and history and interviews in the
field, is essential reading for anyone who wants to
understand the Afghan Taliban and how IHL matters
even for such an armed group heavily influenced
by tribal traditions and its own understanding of
Islamic law.' - Marco Sassòli, University of Geneva,
Switzerland
What norms and principles guide the Afghan Taliban
in their conduct of hostilities? The author focuses on
the Layeha, a Code of Conduct issued by the highest Taliban authority. Interviews
with Taliban members were conducted to understand their perception of the
Layeha, which is modeled as a 'one-way mirror.'

Atheist Secularism and its Discontents
Religious Experience and New Materialism
A Comparative Study of Religion and Communism in Eurasia
Movement Matters
Edited by Tam T. T. Ngo, Max Planck Institute for the
Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany,
Justine B. Quijada, Wesleyan University, USA
Edited by Joerg Rieger, Perkins School of Theology,
Southern Methodist University, USA, Edward
Waggoner, Brite Divinity School, USA
'From its birth, New Materialism has fostered
intense attention and debate: is it materialist, is it
new, can it produce a more radical theology? Here,
chapters lock horns over the heart and bodies of the
New Materialist program, emphasizing the topics
of religion and activism. The authors, undercutting
established dualisms, offer both advocacy and
critical dialogue. This is an important contribution
to this new school of thought.' - Philip Clayton,
Claremont School of Theology, USA
Atheist Secularism and Its Discontents takes a
comparative approach to understanding religion under
communism, arguing that communism was integral to
the global experience of secularism. Bringing together
leading researchers whose work spans the Eurasian
continent, it shows that appropriating religion was
central to Communist political practices.

multidisciplinary understanding of today's Egypt. Rugh illuminates vital
aspects of modern Egyptian society with rare empathy and insight, drawing on
a lifetime of intimate engagement with Egyptians. Yet she brings a foreigner's

implications, and choices facing Egyptians and those others who share a
stake in Egypt's future stability and prosperity." - Francis J. Ricciardone, USA

The Gnostic Paradigm
Forms of Knowing in English Literature of the Late Middle Ages
Tudor Balinisteanu, University of Suceava, Romania
Natanela Elias, Beit Berl College, Israel
'Natanela Elias's The Gnostic Paradigm illuminates
a little understood but often felt dimension of
late medieval literature. Gnosticism is essential to
Western culture and its shadow must be grasped
by whoever seeks historical self-understanding.
Through careful examination of the spectral gnostic
presence in Middle-English texts, this study reveals
the wisdom of its hidden light, suggesting how
much darker our world would be without it.' - Nicola
Masciandaro, Professor of English, Brooklyn College,
CUNY, USA
This monograph is based on archival research and close
readings of James Joyce's and W. B. Yeats's poetics and
political aesthetics. Georges Sorel's theory of social
myth is used as a starting point for exploring the ways
in which the experience of art can be seen as a form of
religious experience.

Ovid's Metamorphoses played an irrefutably important
role in the integration of pagan mythology in Christian

cultural shift disintegrating the boundaries between
not only sacred and profane literacy but also between
academic and secular politics.

Mourning and Mysticism in First World War
Literature and Beyond
Other British Voices
Grappling with Ghosts
Timothy Whelan, Georgia Southern University, USA
‘Here is a case study in female literary tradition:
the poems, letters, and other writings of a highly
talented, multi-generational group of provincial,
dissenting women friends. Such groups seldom
leave enduring archives, and even feminist historians
have often missed material lacking canonized
names or links to dominant metropolitan, gentry,
or Anglican culture. These women wrote, circulated
their writing, and commented on each others'
work without false modesty and with a confident
sense of its value. They remain eminently readable.
This study of their interconnections reshapes our
understanding of ordinary pre-Victorian women's
social and intellectual lives.’ -Isobel Grundy,
Professor Emeritus in the Department of English and Film Studies, University
of Alberta, Canada
George M. Johnson, Thompson Rivers University,
Canada
'Johnson uses attachment theory and object
relations theory sensitively to explore the ways
in which early responses to separation and
loss influence writers' visions of art. The use of
contemporary psychoanalytic theory is particularly
valuable when exploring the literary and cultural
implications of bereavement following World War
One. To my knowledge, Johnson's book may well
be the first to take this approach…. Johnson writes
clearly and gracefully...' — Jeffrey Berman, Professor
of English, University at Albany, SUNY
This book traces how iconic writers - including Arthur
Conan Doyle, J.M. Barrie, Rudyard Kipling, Virginia Woolf, Wilfred Owen, and
Aldous Huxley - shaped their response to the loss of loved ones in the First World
War through their embrace of mysticism.

Bewitched and Bedeviled
A Cognitive Approach to Embodiment in Early English Possession
Kirsten C. Uszkalo, University of Alberta, Canada
Dispossession
Narratives of possession have survived in early English
medical and philosophical treatises. Using ideas derived
from cognitive science, this study moves through the
stages of possession and exorcism to describe how the
social, religious, and medical were internalized to create
the varied manifestations of demon possession in early
modern England.

Women, Poetry, and Religion, 1766-1840
This volume discusses the lives and writings of five nonconformist women who
comprised the heart of a vibrant literary circle in England between 1760 and 1840.
Whelan shows these women's keen awareness and often radical viewpoints on
contemporary issues connected to politics, religion, gender, and the Romantic
sensibility.

TEACHING AND RESEARCHING IN HIGHER EDUCATION
TEACHING AND RESEARCHING IN HIGHER
EDUCATION
The Humanities, Higher Education,
and Academic Freedom
Three Necessary Arguments
Michael Bérubé, Pennsylvania State University, USA,
Jennifer Ruth, Portland State University, USA
'Finally, a book that defends the humanities not
with violins but rather by linking them to the status
of contingent labor in the academy.' — Leonard
Cassuto, Professor of English, Fordham University,
and columnist for The Chronicle of Higher Education
This book is a lively, passionate defence of
contemporary work in the humanities, and, beyond
that, of the university system that makes such work
possible. The book's stark accounts of academic labour,
and its proposals for reform of the tenure system, are
novel, controversial, timely, and very necessary.
Contents: Acknowledgements * Introduction: This is Not the Crisis You’re Looking For * 1.
Value and Values * 2. Slow Death and Painful Labors * 3. From Professionalism to Patronage *
4. On the Rails * Appendix: Implementing a Teaching-Intensive Tenure Track at Portland State
