Slavoj Žižek, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia Sex and the Failed Absolute provides nothing short of a new definition of dialectical materialism.

Radical new readings of Kant and Hegel sit side by side with lively commentaries on film, politics and culture. And in forging this new materialism, Žižek doesn't shy away from taking on and analysising important recent philosophies such as the work of Alain Badiou, Robert Brandom, Quentin Meillassoux and everything from popular science and quantum mechanics to sexual difference and analytic philosophy.

This is Slavoj Žižek at his interrogative and energising best and represents his most rigorous articulation to date of his philosophical system.

Becoming Beauvoir A Life

Kate Kirkpatrick, University of Hertfordshire and University of Oxford, UK "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman", wrote Simone de Beauvoir.

This is a woman who was also to become a philosopher, a novelist, an existentialist, and a feminist icon.

Her novels won prestigious literary prizes and The Second Sex transformed the way we think about sex and gender.

Kate Kirkpatrick draws on previously unavailable diaries and letters, including those written to filmmaker Claude Lanzmann to whom she wrote ‘You are my destiny, my eternity, my life …’ in letters which only came to light in 2018.

Judged

The Value of Being Misunderstood Ziyad Marar, Deputy Managing Director and Executive Vice President Global Publishing at SAGE Publications Everyone fears being judged. One foolish tweet can destroy a career, one careless image can damage a life. Yet judgement is inescapable; we cannot be social beings without judging and being judged.

We need judgement - we want to be considered worthy of consideration, respect and love – but this act of judging can cause us pain. We want to be understood but will anyone ever truly understand us? And can we even truly understand ourselves? This provocative exploration of our contemporary world responds to the fragility of reputation and relationships with refreshing directness.

Disparities

Slavoj Žižek, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia The concept of disparity has long been a topic of obsession and argument by thinkers and theorists; but for Slavoj Žižek, one of the world’s most famous living philosophers, what disparity and negativity could mean, might mean and should mean for us and our lives has never been more hotly debated.

Disparities explores contemporary 'negative' philosophies from Catherine Malabou's plasticity, Julia Kristeva's abjection and Robert Pippin's self-consciousness to the God of negative theology, new realisms and post-humanism and draws a radical line under them.

Instead of establishing adialogue with these other ideas of disparity, Slavoj Žižek establishes a definite departure. Žižek employs a new kind of negativity: one of division, of drawing a line that separates truth from falsity.

Philosophical Chemistry

Genealogy of a Scientific Field Manuel DeLanda, University of Pennsylvania, USA "[DeLanda] presents a problem-focused intellectual history of chemistry [...] with extraordinary conceptual clarity." - International Journal for Philosophy of Chemistry Philosophical Chemistry furthers DeLanda’s revolutionary intervention in the philosophy of science. Against a monadic and totalizing understanding of science, DeLanda’s historicizing investigation traces the centrality of divergence, specialization, and hybridization throughout the discipline of chemistry. Delanda creates a model of a scientific field capable of accommodating the variation and differentiation evident in the history of scientific practice, made of three components: a domain of phenomena, a community of practitioners, and a set of techniques connecting the community to the domain.

How to be a Failure and Still Live Well A Philosophy

Beverley Clack, Oxford Brookes University, UK In Western consumer economies, success has increasingly been defined in terms of material attainment and status, deriding the absence of these as ‘failure’. How to be a Failure and Still Live Well explores the often neglected theme of failure, and how it has been conflated with loss, affecting our ability to cope with the inevitable losses of ageing and death.

Engaging with loss allows different values to emerge. Relationships, spontaneity, and generosity are explored here as qualities that arise from taking seriously our vulnerability and that form the basis for richer accounts of what it might mean to ‘live well’.

Existentialism and Excess: The Life and Times of Jean-Paul Sartre Gary Cox, University of Birmingham, UK

Jean-Paul Sartre is one of the undisputed giants of twentieth century philosophy. His tumultuous personal life - so inextricably bound up with his philosophical thinking- is a fascinating tale of love, lust, drug abuse, high profile fallings out and political rebellion.

This meticulously researched biography is fast-paced, entertaining, often amusing and sometimes deeply moving. Existentialism and Excess covers Sartre's remarkable seventy-five-year life from his early precocious years, through his time as a brilliant student in Paris, his wilderness years as a provincial teacher, his World War II adventures, and his decline into blindness and old age.

10th Anniversary Edition

Gary Cox, University of Birmingham, UK A witty and entertaining classic, this book offers clear advice on how to live according to the principles of existentialism formulated

by Nietzsche, Sartre, Camus, and the other great philosophers of the tradition. An attack on contemporary excuse culture, the book urges us to face the hard existential truths of the human condition.

By revealing that we are all inescapably free and responsible 'condemned to be free' as Sartre says - the book empowers us to be the master of our own destiny. Making fun of the existentialist’s reputation as gloomy and pessimistic, instead Cox reveals an honest, uplifting and life changing philosophy!

This revised edition includes more pointers on how to be a true existentialist, particularly in a 'post-truth' world, and reflections on the newly released diaries of Simone de Beauvoir.

Philosophies of Difference

A Critical Introduction to Non-philosophy Francois Laruelle, Université de Paris X, Nanterre, France A crucial text in Laruelle's oeuvre and an excellent starting point for understanding his broader project, Philosophies of Difference offers a theoretical and critical analysis of the philosophers of difference after Hegel and Nietzsche, introducing a new theoretical practice of non-philosophical thought.

Rather than presenting a narrative historical overview, Laruelle provides a series of rigorous critiques of the interpretations of difference in Hegel, Nietzsche and Deleuze, Heidegger and Derrida.

From Laruelle's innovative theoretical perspective, the forms of philosophical difference that emerge appear as variations upon a unique, highly abstract structure of philosophical decision, the selfposing and self-legitimating essence of philosophy itself.

How to Be an Existentialist

Simone Weil

Translated by Silvia Panizza, University of East Anglia Medical School, UK & Philip Wilson Appearing here in English for the first time, this play explores Weil’s thoughts on tragedy. A figure of affliction, a central theme in Weil's religious metaphysics, the central character offers a unique insight into Weil’s broader philosophical interest in truth and justice, and provides a fresh perspective on the wider conception of tragedy itself. Depicing a plot by a group of Spanish mercenaries to sack Venice in 1618, and the action of the play shows how it fails when one conspirator, Jaffier, betrays them to the Venetian authorities. The edition includes notes on the play and introductory material on the life of Weil, the genesis of the play and Weil and the tragic, opening up an area of interest and research: the literary Weil.

Laruelle and Art

The Aesthetics of Non-Philosophy Jonathan Fardy François Laruelle emerged from the hallowed generation of French postwar philosophers yet his thinking differs radically from that of his contemporaries. In Laruelle and Art, Jonathan Fardy provides the first book dedicated solely to Laruelle’s unique contribution to aesthetic theory and specifically the ‘non-philosophical’ project he terms ‘non-aesthetics’. By analysing the art of figures such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Anish Kapoor, Dan Flavin, and James Turrell as well as the drama of Michael Frayn, Fardy’s new book enables new and experienced readers of Laruelle to understand how the philosopher’s thinking can open up new vistas of art and criticism.

Assemblage Theory and Social Complexity

Manuel DeLanda, University of Pennsylvania, USA Manuel DeLanda is a distinguished writer, artist and philosopher. In A New Philosophy of Society, now published in Bloomsbury's Revelations series, he offers a fascinating look at how the contemporary world is characterized by an extraordinary social complexity. Since most social entities, from small communities to large nation-states, would disappear altogether if human minds ceased to exist, Delanda proposes a novel approach to social ontology that asserts the autonomy of social entities from the conceptions we have of them.

Hope

The Politics of Optimism

Thinking in the World A Reader

Edited by Jill Bennett & Mary Zournazi Thinking creatively and responsibly about contemporary issues can sometimes become a very abstract activity. In Thinking in the World, Bennet and Zournazi collect together writings and interviews with some of the most influential thinkers in the world and ask them not just why we should engage with the world but also how we might do this.

Including wholly original, never-before-released material from thinkers such as Bruno Latour, Michel Serres, Alphonso Lingus, Michael Hardt and Luce Irigaray, this book showcases some of the most compelling arguments for how we might think concretely in and about the world we live in.

Future Christ

Simon Wortham, Kingston, University London, UK

A Lesson in Heresy

A colourful map of the current conflict between pessimism and optimism in Western politics and theory, Hope reveals both the deep history and contemporary necessity of political hopefulness.

Translated by Anthony Paul Smith

Starting in the 17th century with Spinoza, Wortham traces the various fallacies and insights of pessimism and optimism through the 18th century, with the help of Kant and Voltaire, to the writings of Nietzsche and 20th-century thinkers such as Benjamin, Arendt, Kristeva, and Fanon.

Short chapters enable the reader to follow the story of political optimism, inspiring a new way of thinking about the transformative uses of hopefulness.

The Architecture of Freedom

Hegel, Subjectivity and Postcolonial State Hassanaly Ladha, Harvard University, USA This book centers on Hegel’s Memnon, a figure representing the architectonic modality through which the African slave, at the telos of history, will fulfil the spiritual promise of the human and bring about the politically mature state. Assessing this figure in The Phenomenology of Spirit, The Lectures on Aesthetics, The Encyclopedia, and The Philosophy of Right, Ladha provides a comprehensive rereading of Hegel’s views on mastery and enslavement, the aesthetic, subjectivity, and the state. Further, by studying the expression of Hegel’s theories in contemporary African thought, this book calls for a reassessment of these concepts in philosophy, postcolonial and African studies, and political theory today.

A New Philosophy of Society

Francois Laruelle, Université de Paris X, Nanterre, France One of the most exciting voices in contemporary French philosophy and the creator of the practice of 'non-philosophy,' Laruelle draws on material from the traditions of Christianity, Judaism and Gnosticism, but he does so by suspending their authority. This provocative, yet remarkably accessible book introduces philosophy to the lessons of heresy and makes use of them in a non-philosophical "dualysis" of messianism and apocalypticism. Future Christ opens up novel ways of thinking within existing religious and philosophical thought and marks an incisive and wide-ranging non-philosophical engagement with key contemporary debates in philosophy and theology.

Capitalism’s Holocaust of Animals

Katerina Kolozova, University American College Skopje, Republic of Macedonia Kolozova, a leading interpreter of François Laurelle, uses a combination of Laruelle’s work, Marx’s critique of philosophy, and discussions originating in post-humanism to here offer a new philosophical perspective to capitalism’s economic exploitation of life and nature.

From a distinctly pro-animal viewpoint, this book engages with this important and topical academic discussion, asking the question of what it means for us to think and act as humans in a capitalist society that promotes the mistreatment of animals.

Sartre and Magic

Schizoanalysis and Ecosophy

Daniel O'Shiel

Edited by Constantin V. Boundas, Trent University, Canada

Being, Emotion and Philosophy Jean-Paul Sartre’s technical and multifaceted concept of magic is central for understanding crucial elements of his early philosophy. Daniel O'Shiel follows the thread of magic throughout Sartre’s early philosophical work; on the ego (1936); on emotion (1938) and on The Imaginary (1940). Culminating with Sartre’s ontological system of Being and Nothingness (1943), O'Shiel argues that Sartre provides ontological roots for the concept of magic. This is most evident in Sartre’s analyses of value, possession and language.

The Political Ontology of Giorgio Agamben Signatures of Life and Power German Eduardo Primera With the publication of The Use of Bodies (2016) Agamben's multi-volume Homo Sacer project has come to an end. We now have a new vantage point from which to reread Agamben’s corpus; not only his method but his political and philosophical thought can been seen in a clearer light.

This book argues that it is only by revisiting Agamben’s critique of signification and metaphysics and examining his reconstruction of the archaeological method that we can understand his notions of life and power. By bringing together the two parts of the Homo Sacer project, the archaeology of the signature of Sovereignty and the archaeology of governmentality, this book provides an analysis of the production of Agambenian 'bare life'. In this sense this project re-articulates Agamben’s works on signification, language and ontology with his archaeology of power.

Genealogies and Trajectories of Change Edited by Marc Botha, Durham University, UK & Patricia Waugh, Durham University, UK By interrogating the terms and concepts most central to the urgent task of examining cultural change as a process of dynamic transition, this volume approaches the question of transition from multiple perspectives. As a result, it demonstrates how entangled the highly politicized spheres of cultural production, scientific invention, and intellectual discourse are in the contemporary world.

Critical Transitions is organized into five clusters of concepts – boundaries, organization, rupture, novelty, futurity – all examined by leading and emerging thinkers in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, spanning fields including geography, literary studies, cultural theory, philosophy, and politics.

Deleuze, Guattari, and the Problem of Transdisciplinarity Edited by Guillaume Collett

Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy has today become ubiquitous in, and regularly drawn on by, an array of subjects in the theoretical humanities. Throughout their careers they also engaged with a myriad of disciplines; yet they declared themselves that "Philosophy is not interdisciplinary". This problematic contradiction has rarely been explicitly confronted by scholars working on Deleuze and Guattari.

The first book to engage with a transdisciplinary framework specifically through the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, this book sheds light on the heart of their intellectual project, which is revealed to be the construction of a philosophy that is itself fundamentally transdisciplinary in nature.

Arts of Subjectivity: A New Animism for the Post-Media Era Jacob W. Glazier

Bringing thinking from the arts and digital humanities into dialogue with one another, this book investigates what it means to be alive in a world that is structured by technology, the media, and an ever expanding sense of a global community.

Diving into post-structuralist French theory, through American feminism, and emerging out of media studies, this book argues for an ethical and aesthetic form of self-fashioning that runs counter to processes subjection and mediatization. This craft of life, as Plato called it, is a space of disjunction and liberation, between subjectivity and other, where something new and different has the potential to emerge and be moulded to our likeness.

Political Theologies Modernity and the Political Fix Andrew Gibson, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

Late-eighteenth-century transformations developed both the form and content of art and politics over the next two hundred years. A specifically modern frame of mind emerged. But what does modernity mean to us in our contemporary age?

Gibson asks what aspects of modern politics we might want to salvage and preserve and within what structure we might continue thinking them. He calls for a new political theology, which is necessary to think through this question using modern philosophy and theory, literature and the arts. Ranging through early modern and modern philosophy and theory, this book illuminates the dilemmas of modern consciousness and demonstrates the inseparability of literature, art and philosophy within European modernity.

Another Finitude

Messianic Vitalism and Philosophy Agata Bielik-Robson Taking inspiration from the Jewish idea of torat hayim, the principle of finite life, which found the best expression in the biblical sentence: love strong as death, Agata Bielik-Robson suggests love as an alternative marker of finitude, allowing us to redefine the concept in an affirmative way. By tracing the avatars of love in 20th century thought, or ‘messianic vitalists’–Benjamin, Rosenzweig, Arendt, Derrida, and (deeply revised) Freud–the book attempts to demonstrate the possibility of such affirmation. Love becomes the new ‘infinite-in-the-finite’; love in all its forms, from the original libidinal endowment of the human psyche to the last metamorphoses of agape, the Greco-Christian divine love.

After Castoriadis

Shaping a Modern Ethics

Edited by Chris Spannos

Benjamin Bennett

Roads to Autonomy in the 21st century To what degree can the philosophy of Cornelius Castoriadis help analyse and evaluate our current social reality in relation to the project of autonomy? How meaningful is his political proposition for direct democracy in the 21st century? After Castoriadis presents basic concepts of Castoriadian philosophy such as the social-historical plane, ontological creativity, and social and individual time that provide the theoretical tools necessary to evaluate the historical phenomena of our era. By revealing the new significances of social freedom, global solidarity and movements of direct democracy, this book explores roads towards social autonomy and human freedom today.

Descartes' philosophy plays a special role in the works of both renowned and marginal writers in the Continental Tradition, particularly in their views on society and politics. This is the first book length study to consider political responses to Descartes in 19th and 20th century European thinkers.

Deleuze and Guattari

Alon Segev shows how on the one hand Continental authors utilize Descartes’ philosophy to advance the core ideas of Enlightenment and to combat the movements and systems of Capitalism, Materialism, Absolutism, Fascism, Nazism, and NeoPaganism; however on the other hand, Segev also demonstrates that Continental authors have also discerned in Descartes’ philosophy the main source of all these maladies of modernity.

Selected Writings

Kenneth Surin, Duke University, USA Deleuze and Guattari: Selected Writings tackles both central political issues, such as the State, globalization, and the citizen, as well as the political qualities of topics generally considered outside this realm, such as the animal, the image, and the literary. Surin pursues theoretical interventions inspired by Deleuze and Guattari's scholarship in relation to Marxism, and specifically materialism, and notions of political solidarity, which they did not engage with extensively or explicitly themselves, but which extend their critique along new lines of flight.

Philosophical Posthumanism

Francesca Ferrando, New York University, USA A road map to philosophical posthumanism, this book lays out its theories and develops the historical, genealogical and onto-epistemological relevance of this field.

Used as an all-inclusive label, 'posthuman' has created methodological and theoretical confusion.

This book highlights the similarities and differences between the various terms and schools of thought, and focuses specifically on philosophical posthumanism, uncovering it’s historical, genealogical and onto-epistemological groundings. Examining the topics that fall under the 'Posthuman' umbrella, this book looks at: the postmodern roots of the movement; philosophical, cultural and critical posthumanism; transhumanisms; new materialisms and posthumanist feminisms; antihumanism; posthumanities and metahumanities.

Genealogies of Political Modernity

Antonio Cerella, University of Central Lancashire, UK What is political modernity? And how much of its concepts have changed with the advent of so-called globalization? What does it mean, politically speaking, to live in a postmodern era? This book discusses these issues by reference to key authors of the continental philosophical tradition: from Carl Schmitt to Giorgio Agamben.

Looking at the roots of the current historical crisis that characterizes Western political regimes, this book gazes into the past in order to trace the possible development of our current global era, in which all classical concepts are called into question, leaving a vacuum of meaning for both political action and political theory.

Edited by David Jones, Kennesaw State University, USA

What is solitude, why do we crave and fear it, and how do we distinguish it from loneliness? It lies at the core of the lives of philosophers and their self-reflections, and is the enabling (and disabling) condition that allows us to seriously question how to live meaningfully.

Blending philosophical narrative and philosophical treatises, this book uses David Farrell Krell's decisive voice to provide inspiration for how to contemplate our own solitudes. Some authors focus on past philosophers or poets, others deal directly with Krell’s work, or they respond personally to how we can, and must, seek solitude.

Badiou, Poem and Subject Tom Betteridge

Reinterpreting Badiou’s philosophy in light of his persistent, reverent invocations of the German-Jewish poet Paul Celan and his longterm engagement with Samuel Beckett, this book offers analyses of Badiou’s radical departure from the legacy of Martin Heidegger.

Blending close textual analysis with critical, theoretical reflections on Heidegger, Lacoue-Labarthe and Adorno, among others, this is the first book to present interdisciplinary reflections on Badiou’s engagement with Celan and Beckett, offering a significant contribution to the growing field of interest in Badiou’s relationship to literature and the tradition of philosophical aesthetics.

Maine de Biran's 'Of Immediate Apperception' Maine de Biran

Edited by Alessandra Aloisi & Marco Piazza Translated by Mark Sinclair, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Written when Maine de Biran was coming into his philosophical maturity, in 1807, this text was the first complete statement of his own philosophy of the will. It is in this work that Biran first reflects on the ‘lived body’ and it marks the moment in which he fully accomplishes his break away from Condillac and the Ideological school.

With enlightening critical apparatus, including an editor's introduction, glossary, and bibliography, the publication of this edition shows how Biran's work is pivotal for the development of French philosophy.

Mary Midgley An Introduction

Terrence Malick

Filmmaker and Philosopher Robert Sinnerbrink, Macquarie University, Australia Drawing on a range of thinkers and approaches from Heidegger and Cavell, Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, to phenomenology and moral psychology Sinnerbrink explores how Malick’s films respond to the problem of nihilism the loss of conviction or belief in prevailing forms of value and meaning and the possibility of ethical transformation through cinema: from self-transformation in our relations with others to cultural transformation via our attitudes towards nature and the world. Sinnerbrink shows how Malick’s later films, from The Tree of Life to Voyage of Time, provide unique opportunities to explore cinematic ethics in relation to the crisis of belief, the phenomenology of love, and film’s potential to invite moral transformation.

Free Will and Epistemology A Defence of the Transcendental Argument for Freedom

Robert Lockie, University of West London, UK In the first in-depth study of the transcendental argument for decades, Robert Lockie defends a modern version of the famous transcendental argument for free will: that we could not be justified in undermining a strong notion of free will, as a strong notion of free will is required for any such process of undermining to be itself epistemically justified. By arguing for a conception of internalism that goes back to the early days of the internalist-externalist debates, he draws on work by Richard Foley, William Alston and Alvin Plantinga to explain the importance of epistemic deontology and its role in the transcendental argument.

Charting each of these interactions with a Lacanian reading of the thinker, which Habjan achieves through different case studies – from a Hollywood blockbuster to a Shakespearean bestseller – he offers a new materialist reading of the ‘ordinary’ status of literary language.

This is a vital contribution to current debates within both literary studies and contemporary philosophy.

Ethical Rationalism and the Law Edited by Patrick Capps & Shaun D. Pattinson

What role does reason play in determining what, if anything, is morally right? What role does morality play in law? Perhaps the most controversial answer to these fundamental questions is that reason supports a supreme principle of both morality and legality. The contributors to this book cast a fresh critical eye over the coherence of modern approaches to ethical rationalism within law, and reflect on the intellectual history on which it builds. The contributors then take the debate beyond the traditional concerns of legal theory into areas such as the relationship between morality and international law, and the impact of ethically controversial medical innovations on legal understanding.

On Music, Sense, Affect and Voice

Carol Harrison, Christ Church, University of Oxford, UK On Music, Sound, Affect and Voice explores early theological reflections on music and its effects on the mind and soul. Augustine is an obvious place to start; his De Musica is the only treatise we have on music by a Christian theologian in the first five centuries. In both it and The Confessions, Augustine establishes a psychology, an ontology, and finally an ethics of musical perception, which considered together form an effective theology of music. For Augustine, music—both heard and performed—becomes the means by which we can sense and participate in divine grace.

On Creation, Science, Disenchantment and the Contours of Being and Knowing Matthew W. Knotts, Gannon University, USA

For Augustine the world is replete with meaning. It represents not merely a collection of facts to be catalogued but a repository of truths to be discovered and discerned, a view which contrasts with the one we have inherited as a result of the thought of figures such as Descartes, Newton, and Kant. What difference would it make to see the world as created? Matthew W. Knotts explores this question in close conversation with Augustine, according to whom our nature as God’s creatures determines fundamental aspects of our identity and our knowledge. In a postmodern context informed by a renewed appreciation of the limitations of human nature and reason, Augustine once again emerges as an insightful and compelling source for further reflection.

On Self-Harm, Narcissism, Atonement and the Vulnerable Christ David Vincent Meconi, Saint Louis University, USA

On Self-Harm, Narcissism, Atonement and the Vulnerable Christ explores St. Augustine of Hippo’s understanding of the nature and root of sin, described as various forms of self-loathing and self-destruction, as well as sin’s antidote, a vulnerable relationship with God. Incorporating recent thinking on self-destruction and self-loathing into his reading of Augustine, David Vincent Meconi explores why we are not only allured by sin, but will actually destroy ourselves to attain it, even when that sin will bring us no true pleasure.

On Solitude, Conscience, Love and Our Inner and Outer Lives

P H I L O S O P H Y – Phi l osophy of Rel i gi on

Reading Augustine

Ronald Haflidson, St. John's College, USA

Haflidson places Augustine in conversation with contemporary authors who warn of the dangers of abandoning solitude for constant (often technological) connection. Thus far such thinkers have largely neglected an essential question that Haflidson takes up: What difference does it make to the practice of solitude if one believes that even in the absence of any human company, God is always intimately present? Haflidson pairs close readings of Augustine with those of noted cartographers of our inner lives, literary greats including Jane Austen, George Eliot, Marilynne Robinson and George Saunders.

This is a book that explores what undiscovered possibilities may lie in solitude.

On Agamben, Arendt, Christianity, and the Dark Arts of Civilization Peter Iver Kaufman, University of North Carolina, USA

Exploring Augustine’s roughly contemporary experiments with the political culture, the book examines Georgio Agamben’s disenchantments and alternatives alongside those of Augustine, comparing the former’s fascination with the refugees, as opposed to citizens who embrace "forms of life" promoted by political protocols.

Kaufman then chronicles Hannah Arendt’s criticism of the alternative model and her preferences for and commitments to more direct political engagement.

Bloomsbury Studies in Philosophy of Religion The Kalam Cosmological Argument, Volume 1

Philosophical Arguments for the Finitude of the Past Edited by Paul Copan, Palm Beach Atlantic University, USA & William Lane Craig, Houston Baptist University, USA This anthology on the philosophical arguments for the finitude of the past asks: Is an infinite series of past events metaphysically possible?

Should actual infinites be restricted to theoretical mathematics, or can an actual infinite exist in the concrete world? These essays by kalam proponents and detractors engage in lively debate about the nature of infinity and its conundrums; about frequently-used kalam argument paradoxes of Tristram Shandy, the Grim Reaper, and Hilbert’s Hotel; and about the infinity of the future.

Finding Locke’s God

The Theological Basis of John Locke’s Political Thought Nathan Guy Moving beyond the recent ‘religious turn’ in Locke scholarship, this book considers a ‘theological turn’, arguing that John Locke ought to be viewed as a Christian public theologian whose political theory was firmly rooted in theology. Guy identifies three theological pillars crucial to Locke’s political theory: a Christian conception of God, the law of nature and divine revelation in scripture. Convincingly argued and meticulously researched, this book offers an exciting new direction for Locke studies.

Kierkegaard and the Question Concerning Technology Christopher B. Barnett, Villanova University, USA

The Kalam Cosmological Argument, Volume 2

Over the last few decades, the philosophy of technology has emerged as an important area of inquiry. And yet Søren Kierkegaard, despite his status as one of modernity’s seminal thinkers, is often seen as one who contributed little to the field. Kierkegaard and the Question Concerning Technology argues against this view.

Edited by Paul Copan, Palm Beach Atlantic University, USA & William Lane Craig, Houston Baptist University, USA

Christopher B. Barnett not only contextualizes Kierkegaard’s critique of "the present age," thereby showing that many of his criticisms concern the increasing dominance of technology in the West, but also demonstrates Kierkegaard’s subsequent influence on modern thinking about technology, in philosophy as well as in theology.

Scientific Evidence for the Beginning of the Universe

The kalam cosmological maintains that whatever begins to exist must have a cause. And since the universe began to exist, there must be a transcendent cause of its beginning, a conclusion which is confirmatory of theism. So this medieval argument for the finitude of the past has received fresh wind in its sails from recent scientific discoveries.

This collection reviews and assesses the merits of the latest scientific evidences for the universe’s beginning.

Free Will and God's Universal Causality The Dual Sources Account W. Matthews Grant In this book W. Matthews Grant argues that human behaviours are driven by both divine causality and our own human impetus, he demonstrates that the standard conditions for libertarian freedom are nonetheless satisfied.

Grant offers a comprehensive alternative to the classic approaches for combining theism and libertarian freedom. He addresses the problem of moral evil without the commonly employed Free Will Defense, and proposes new solutions for reconciling libertarian freedom with robust accounts of God’s providence and predestination.

Does Religion Cause Violence?

Mimesis and Sacrifice

Edited by Joel Hodge, Australian Catholic University, AUS, Scott Cowdell, Charles Sturt University, AUS, Chris Fleming, Western Sydney University, AUS & Carly Osborn, University of Adelaide, Australia

Edited by Marcia Pally

Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Violence and Religion in the Modern World

This volume explores contemporary instances of religious violence, such as Islamist terrorism and radicalization in its various political, economic, religious, military and technological dimensions, as well as the legitimacy and efficacy of modern cultural mechanisms to contain violence. It brings together the insights of René Girard, the premier theorist of violence in the 20th century, with the latest scholarship on religion and violence, particularly exploring the nature of extremist violence.

Hominescence

Michel Serres, Stanford University, USA Translated by Randolph Burks Michel Serres wants us to anticipate the uncertain light of the future. In this passionately original and optimistic work of philosophy Serres describes the future of man as an adolescence, transitioning from childhood to adulthood, or luminescence, when a dark body becomes light. Considering the radical changes that humanity has experienced over the last fifty years, the author analyzes the new relationship of man has with diverse concepts, like the dead, his own body, agriculture, and new communication networks. He alerts us to the consequences of these changes, particularly on the danger of growing inequalities between rich and poor countries.

Mathematics and Information in the Philosophy of Michel Serres

Vera Bühlmann, Vienna University of Technology, Austria This book introduces the reader to Serres’ unique manner of ‘doing philosophy’, which is present throughout his oeuvre, as a manner of bearing witness. It traces how Serres takes note of a range of epistemologically unsettling situations, which he witnesses as arising from the short-circuit of a proprietary notion of capital, with a praxis of science which privileges the most direct path to expend minimal efforts while pursuing maximal efficiency.

Bühlmann acquaints the reader with Serres’ monist manner of addressing the universality and the power of knowledge – that is at once also the anonymous and empty faculty of incandescent, inventive thought.

Applying Girard's Mimetic Theory Across the Disciplines This book closely examines the part sacrifice plays in different societal settings. Inspired by Rene Girard’s premise that one must address the problems of society in order to understand the mechanisms by which it functions, chapters are organised around questions emerging from Girard’s mimetic theory. By covering gender, evolutionary, theological, military and economic sacrifice in a single volume, the book presents a new understanding of its meaning and consequences, contributing not only to mimetic theory, but to research on the social condition of contemporary human life.

Philosophy and Simulation

The Emergence of Synthetic Reason Manuel DeLanda, University of Pennsylvania, USA Manuel Delanda provides a remarkably clear philosophical overview of the rapidly growing field of computer simulations. In it he analyzes all the different genres of simulation (from cellular automata and generic algorithms to neural nets and multiagent systems) as a means to conceptualize the possibility spaces associated with casual (and other) capacities. Simulations have become as important as mathematical models in theoretical science, and this book fills the need for a philosophical examination of the epistemology of simulations to cement this new role, underlining the consequences that simulations may have for materialist philosophy itself.

Philosophy as Drama

Plato’s Thinking through Dialogue Edited by Knut Ågotnes, Hallvard Fossheim & Vigdis SongeMøller Plato’s philosophical dialogues can be seen as his creation of a new genre. Plato borrows from, as well as rejects, earlier and contemporary authors, and he is constantly in conversation with established genres, such as tragedy, comedy, lyric poetry, and rhetoric in a variety of ways.

Philosophy as Drama moves debates in Plato scholarship forward when it comes to understanding both particular aspects of Plato’s dialogues and the approach itself. Containing 11 chapters of close readings of individual dialogues, with 2 chapters discussing specific themes running through them, such as music and sensuousness, pleasure, perception, and images, this book displays the range and diversity within Plato's corpus.

Health and Hedonism in Plato and Epicurus Kelly Arenson

Linking two of the most prominent ethicists in the history of philosophy and exploring how Platonic material lays the conceptual groundwork for Epicurean hedonism, this book argues that, despite their significant philosophical differences, both Plato and Epicurus conceive of pleasure in terms of the health and harmony of the human body and soul. It turns to two crucial but unexplored sources for understanding Epicurean pleasure: Plato’s treatment of psychological health and pleasure in the Republic, and his physiological account of bodily harmony, pleasure, and pain in the Philebus.

Ideas, Responses and Legacy

Edited by Marina F. Bykova, North Carolina State University, USA This book is a comprehensive account of the key arguments central to German idealists and their immediate critics. Expanding the scope beyond the four best-known representatives - Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel -and including those thinkers often considered as secondary, yet are crucial for understanding the period, this reader presents an influential era in all its philosophical complexity. With readings from Maimon, Schulze, Novalis, and Schleimacher as well as responses to German idealist thought by late 19th-century thinkers such as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, it provides students of German idealism with a dynamic picture of the intellectual period.

Kant’s Transition Project and Late Philosophy

Connecting the Opus postumum and Metaphysics of Morals Oliver Thorndike, Loyola University, USA Kant’s Transition Project and Late Philosophy is the first study to provide a close reading of the connection between texts written by Kant during 1796 and 1798.

Connecting Kant’s unfinished book project, the Opus postumum, with Metaphysics of Morals, it identifies and clarifies issues at the forefront of Kant’s focus towards the end of his life. By showing that there is not only a Transition Project in Kant’s theoretical philosophy but also a Transition Project in his practical philosophy, it reveals why an accurate assessment of Kant’s critical philosophy requires a new understanding of the Opus postumum and Kant’s parallel late writings on practical philosophy.

Emotion, Reason, and Action in Kant Maria Borges

Emotion, Reason and Action in Kant explores how, in Kant’s world view, our actions are informed, contextualized and dependent on the tension between emotion and reason. On the one hand, there are positive moral emotions that can and should be cultivated. On the other hand, affects and passions are considered illnesses of the mind, in that they lead to the weakness of the will, in the case of affects, and evil, in the case of passions. Seeing the role of these emotions enriches our understanding of Kant’s moral theory.

The German Idealism Reader

Running through Benjamin’s writings is a critique of romanticism, particularly focused upon the life and works of J. W. von Goethe. This book reconstructs the centrality of Goethe for not only Benjamin’s philosophy but also a range of early twentieth century intellectual figures who were pivotal for his thought. In uncovering this neglected connection, it situates the significance of Goethe’s classicism to debates concerning modernism and modernity for those associated with the conservative nationalism of Stefan George, Gundolf and Ludwig Klages, but also the left-wing aesthetics of Lukacs, Simmel and Kracauer in Germany and the artistic avantgarde in Russia.

Metanoia

A Speculative Ontology of Language, Thinking, and the Brain Armen Avanessian, Free University Berlin, Germany & Anke Hennig, Free University Berlin, Germany At some point, we all experience the fundamental impact reading has on us; it changes our understanding of the world. Metanoia— meaning literally a change of mind—refers to this kind of new way of seeing. To see the world in a new light is to accept that our thinking has been irrevocably transformed. How is that possible?

To tackle these questions, this original and innovative book mobilizes discussions from linguistics, literary theory, the analytic philosophy of language, and cognitive science. It re-articulates linguistic consciousness by underlining the poetic, creative moment and sheds light on the transformative ability of language.

Creation and the Function of Art Techné, Poiesis and the Problem of Aesthetics Jason Tuckwell This book focuses on the relationship between techné and phusis (nature). Moving away from the theoretical Platonism which dominates contemporary understandings of art, Tuckwell instead reinvigorates Aristotelian causation. This book examines the deviations at play within logical forms, the subject, and upon phusis to better situate the role of the function in poiesis (art). In so doing, Tuckwell shows techné to be a property of the living of intelligence coupled to action that not only enacts poiesis or art, but indicates a broader role for creative deviation in nature.

Contemporary Chinese Art, Aesthetic Modernity and Zhang Peili Towards a Critical Contemporaneity

Paul Gladston, University of New South Wales, Australia Addressing art in and from the People’s Republic of China as a significant aspect of post-West contemporaneity, Paul Gladston provides a new critical understanding of what it means to be 'contemporary' and the profound changes taking place in the art world today. Informed by deconstructivism as well as syncretic Confucianism, Gladston extends this theory to a reading of the work of the artist Zhang Peili and his involvement with the Hangzhoubased art group, the Pond Association (Chi she). Revealed is a critical aesthetic productively resistant to any single interpretative viewpoint.

Retroactivity and Contemporary Art Craig Staff, University of Nottingham, UK

Contemporary art is often preoccupied with time, or acts in which the past is recovered. Through specific case studies of artists who strategically work with historical moments, this book examines how art from the last two decades has sought to mobilize these particular histories, and to what effect, against the backdrop of Modernism.

Drawing on the art theory of Rosalind Krauss and the philosophies of Paul Ricoeur, Gerhard Richter, and Pierre Nora, Retroactivity and Contemporary Art interprets those works that foreground some aspect of retroactivity – whether re-enacting, commemorating, or reimagining – as key artistic strategies.

This book is striking philosophical reflection on time within art and art within time, and an indispensable read for those attempting to understand the artistic significance of history, materiality, and memory.

Embodied Meaning in Logic, Art and Feeling Adrienne Dengerink Chaplin This book is a comprehensive study of one of the most insightful and fertile but also one of the most neglected and misunderstood philosophers of art of the twentieth century, Susanne Langer. It provides a much-needed explanation of how Langer’s philosophy was shaped by four seminal sources: her mentors Henry Sheffer and Alfred North Whitehead and the European philosophers Ernst Cassirer and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Shedding new light on Langer as an American philosopher whose innovative thought crosses the customary boundaries between analytic and European philosophy, this book confirms why she continues to have relevance today.

The New Aesthetics of Deculturation Neoliberalism, Fundamentalism and Kitsch Thorsten Botz-Bornstein What are the predominant aesthetics of the twenty-first century?

Thorsten Botz-Bornstein argues that deculturation, embodied by the conspicuous vulgarity of kitsch, is the overriding visual language of our times.

Drawing on the work of Islam scholar Olivier Roy, who argued that religious fundamentalism arises when religion is separated from the indigenous cultural values, Botz-Bornstein shows that the production of ‘absolute’ truths through deculturation also exists in contemporary education.

Including analysis of the intersections of ‘cute’, ‘excellent’, ‘sublime’, and ‘interesting’ in contemporary aesthetic culture, this is a journey through philosophy, psychology and cultural theory, redefining a new aesthetics of deculturation.

Simulated Selves

The Undoing of Personal Identity in the Modern World Andrew Spira, Christie's Education London, UK The notion of a personal self took centuries to evolve, reaching the pinnacle of autonomy with Descartes’ ‘I think, therefore I am’ in the seventeenth century. This ‘personalisation’ of identity thrived for another hundred years before it began to be questioned, subject to the emergence of broader, more inclusive forms of agency. Simulated Selves: The Undoing of Personal Identity in the Modern World addresses the ‘constructed’ notion of personal identity in the West and how it has been eclipsed by the development of new technological, social, art historical and psychological infrastructures over the last two centuries.

Art, Politics and Rancière Broken Perceptions

Tina Chanter, Kingston University, UK Providing an account of how works of art can, but do not necessarily, interrupt dominant narratives, Tina Chanter presents a rigorous and appreciative critique of Rancière's story of aesthetics, paying close attention to gender and race. Along with the relationship between the unconscious and the political, identity politics, and perception are key themes throughout. It features illuminating discussions of Rancière, Heidegger and Levinas as well as informed accounts of artists Phillip Noyce, Ingrid Pollard, and Gillian Wearing. By developing an original philosophical consideration that is sensitive to race and gender, Chanter outlines the basis of a new political aesthetic.

Political Aesthetics

Addison and Shaftesbury on Taste, Morals, and Society Karl Axelsson Providing a gateway to a new history of modern aesthetics, Political Aesthetics challenges conventional views of how art's significance developed in society.

By re-examining the political relevance of Joseph Addison’s (1672– 1719) and the third Earl of Shaftesbury’s (1671–1713) theories of taste, Axelsson shows that they were, first and foremost, seeking to fortify a natural link between the aesthetic experience and the consolidation of modern political society.

The Philosophy of Susanne Langer

Taking at its starting point the current "post-truth world" that is Western society, where worldviews clash with increasing violence and online trolls and conspiracy theorists dominate discussion, this book examines this critical moment in political history through a new reading of Alasdair MacIntyre. Over thirty years ago, MacIntyre predicted an impending Dark Age. Hannan contends that he was right. This book presents both MacIntyre's diagnosis of the cultural crisis and his answer to the challenge of communication. Pitting him against John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas, and Chantal Mouffe, Hannan argues that MacIntyre offers hope for a democratic politics amidst today's culture wars.

The Meaning of Life and Death Ten Classic Thinkers on the Ultimate Question Michael Hauskeller What is the point of living? If we are all going to die anyway, if nothing will remain of whatever we achieve in this life, why should we bother trying to achieve anything in the first place? The connection between death and meaning has taken centre stage in the work of some of the world’s greatest writers: de Montaigne, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Melville, Nietzsche, James, Wittgenstein, Proust, Camus, and Beckett. The Meaning of Life and Death explores their ideas, uncovering common themes and contrasts in their understanding of what kind of world we live in and what really matters in life.

From Romanticism to Rationality Finn Bowring

Erotic Love shows how discourses of love have intersected with social and cultural trends, as well as with personal events and experiences.

Beginning with the queering of love in Greek antiquity, it looks at how sexual love has been sung about, fictionalized and theorized as a cornerstone of the formation of Western culture. From the courtly love of twelfth-century troubadours and the rise of affective individualism in the eighteenth century, to the way the novel helped catalyze and crystallize the hopes and contradictions of love and marriage, these are decisive episodes in the history of romantic love.

Jean-Paul Sartre's Anarchist Philosophy

William L. Remley, Saint Peter’s University, USA

This book brings together established and new voices in this field to touch firstly upon the political: is there a place, according to Hegel, for political resistance, or must we submit to the power of the state?

Secondly, what is the role of resistance in history, and in to relation to historical progress? And finally, does his system allow for moments of resistance or new insights?

In this landmark study, William L. Remley sheds new light on the crucial role of anarchism in Sartre’s writing, arguing that it fundamentally underpins the body of his political work. Sartre’s political philosophy has been infrequently studied and neglected in recent years. Introducing newly translated material from his early oeuvre, as well as providing a fresh perspective on his colossal Critique of Dialectical Reason, this book is a timely reinvigoration of this topic.

Rewriting Contemporary Political Philosophy with Plato and Aristotle An Essay on Eudaimonic Politics Paul Schollmeier Applying the concepts and principles of Plato and Aristotle to contemporary problems, Paul Schollmeier sets out a new theory based on engagement in political activity for its own sake, not for profit or pleasure. Employing the ancient principle of happiness, Schollmeier introduces the concept of a eudaimonic polity. He argues that we can best exercise our political nature when we participate together with others in political activity without an ulterior motive. Not to engage in activity of this kind is also to deny our nature, and it leads to competitive conduct and conflict over limited resources.

Right-Wing Culture in Contemporary Capitalism

Regression and Hope in a Time Without Future Mathias Nilges Suggesting that Donald Trump and Elon Musk, neoauthoritarianism and capitalist hyper-innovation, are two sides of the same coin, Mathias Nilges shows that both today’s reactionaries and futurists harness and profit from the same temporal crises of our present. Looking to design, popular culture, art, and recent theoretical as well as popular political discussions, this book demonstrates how we can get to the bottom of our era’s purported inability to imagine true alternatives to the present. Nilges offers ways of understanding the re-emergence of familiar and disturbing forms of right-wing politics and culture not as a matter of historical repetition but as dangerous consequences of the contradictions of the current stage of capitalism.

Contradiction Set Free Hermann Levin Goldschmidt

Edited by Willi Goetschel, University of Toronto, Canada Translated by John Koster First published in in 1976, Goldschmidt’s Contradiction Set Free (Freiheit für den Widerspruch) reflects the push to explore new forms of critical thinking that gained momentum in the second half of the 20th century. The book articulates the initiative to reclaim an epistemologically critical position that recognized the deep underlying link between the modes of production of knowledge and the social and political life they produce. In signaling a breakout from the academic rut and its repressive hold, their interventions advanced critical alternatives for moving beyond the predicament of an ossified institutionalized way of doing philosophy whose traumatizing consequences could no longer be ignored.
