PHILOSOPHY

Edited by Lori A. Brown, Syracuse University, USA and Karen Burns, University of Melbourne, Australia This Encyclopedia fills a void in architectural history, giving students, scholars and professional architects an authoritative reference to women architects and their work, and to key terms for gender and feminism in architecture. With over 1,000 entries and 600 images across two volumes, the Encyclopedia covers a key period in women’s history from 1960 to 2015 – from when the gender bar was lifted at iconic architecture schools, to the present day. Women now comprise half of all architecture students in many countries but students and scholars lack authoritative, globally connected histories of female mentors, peers and forebears. The Encyclopedia introduces them to the notable and overlooked women of the global built world. Within a geographical and historical framework, key architects from over 135 countries are included in detailed biographical entries. Coverage includes an expanded field of female designers from related fields (urbanism, landscape, and interiors) plus influential scholars, writers, and activists as well as keys terms, themes, books and exhibitions.

The Ruins of Palmyra and Baalbek

Volumes I-II

Robert Wood First published in the 1750s, The Ruins of Palmyra and The Ruins of Baalbek contain over 100 engravings of the classical architecture of these two ancient cities. The volumes were unique in providing systematic discussion of the sites' physical and human geography alongside two kinds of pictorial evidence: views of the ancient sites and detailed plans, with measurements, of architectural features. The volumes had great influence upon Neoclassical architecture in Britain, Europe and North America. This new edition features reproductions of all the engravings from the original publications and includes a new introduction by noted scholar, Benjamin Anderson (Cornell University, USA).

Edited by J. Daniel Elam, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong This 900 page collection brings together political, aesthetic, and philosophical writing from across the non-European and postcolonial world. It covers critical thought from South East Asia, South Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America, regions often overlooked when studying critical thought. By assembling these 75 texts side-by-side it marks the first time that many of these writings have been considered properly as ‘philosophy’. Organised chronologically, the volumes are divided into Empire, Modernity and Critique. Each volume features the major figures associated with movements and schools of thoughts that defined a decade. From anticolonialism and revolution at the start of the century to the Third World aesthetics of the 1970s and the liberalisation, globalisation, and protest of the 1990s, assembled under these themes is the work of Rabindranath Tagore, M.K. Gandhi, Mao Zedong, Jawaharlal Nehru, W.E.B. Du Bois, Fidel Castro, Kim Sang-ok, Elena Poniatowska and Stuart Hall.

Portraits of Confucius: The Reception of Confucianism from 1580 to 1960

2-Volume Set

Edited by Kevin DeLapp, Converse College, USA A major collection of Western perspectives on Confucius and Confucianism, stretching from the Jesuit missions of the 16th-century to the dawn of modern cross-cultural scholarship in the early 20th-century. With selections from over 100 figures, this two-volume work features writing from American and European sources including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Bertrand Russell. Arranged chronologically, they represent methodologies that span philosophy, political science, religious studies, sociology, anthropology, economic theory, linguistics, missionary texts, and works of popular moralism. Together they reveal important ideological trends in Western attitudes toward China – with Confucius becoming positioned at different times as anti-Christian or nearly Christ-like, while Confucianism is interpreted as something positive the West needs to adopt or as something negative that must be opposed.

Edited by Eileen Hunt Botting, University of Notre Dame, USA Bringing together illustrated portraits and over 100 individual responses to Mary Wollstonecraft's life and work, this two-volume collection traces her emergence as an international public figure of women’s rights from 1785 to 2017. Featuring writing by Mary Shelley, Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, Susan Moller Okin, Martha Nussbaum, and Amartya Sen it showcases her philosophical, literary, and artistic reception and reveals how Wollstonecraft has been interpreted throughout Britain, Ireland, Europe, North and South America, and across the British Empire and its former colonies from Jamaica to India to South Africa, as well as in China, Japan and South Korea. With never-before-seen accounts of Wollstonecraft and pieces by major thinkers from across the history of philosophy, this one-of-a-kind collection achieves what no other work on Wollstonecraft has yet to do: it charts the depth and breadth of her legacies for philosophy, feminist philosophy, ethics, and political theory on a global scale.
