The Legacy of Aristotelian Enthymeme
Proof and Belief in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
Edited by Fosca Mariani Zini, University of Tours, France This book provides a historical-logical analysis of Aristotle’s rhetorical syllogism, the enthymeme, through its medieval and Renaissance interpretations. Bringing together notions of credibility and proof, contributors highlight the fierce debates around this form of argumentation during two key periods for Aristotle’s beliefs. As a method for achieving the standards for proof and credibility that persist across diverse fields of study today including the law, politics, medicine and morality, this book takes in Latin and Persian interpretations of enthymeme and casts contemporary argumentation in a new historical light.

Contesting Islam, Constructing Race and Sexuality
The Inordinate Desire of the West
Sunera Thobani, The University of British Columbia, Canada Sunera Thobani examines how Islam has contributed to the formation of Western identity at critical points in history such as the Crusades, the Reconquista and the colonial period. She explores how masculinity and femininity are formed at such pivotal junctures and what role feminism plays in the fight against ‘radical’ Islam. Thobani examines how the return of ‘religion’ has created the racial, gender and sexual politics by which Western society defines itself, and more specifically defines itself against Islam.
