An Introduction
Arvind-Pal Singh Mandair, University of Michigan, USA Sikhism, one of the major religious-philosophical traditions of India, is often missing from discussions of cross-cultural philosophy. In this introduction, Arvind-Pal Singh Mandair, an internationally acknowledged expert in Sikh studies, provides the first rigorous engagement with Sikh philosophy. Mandair explores the Sikh vision of life, asking what their concepts tell us about the nature of reality, the nature of mind, self, ego, and the peculiarity of its logic and ontology. Through this much-needed introduction we understand the place of Sikh Philosophy within modern Sikh studies and why the philosophical quest became marginalized in contemporary Sikh studies.

A Cross-Cultural Approach to Virtue Epistemology
A major figure in the Anglo-American analytic tradition, Ernest Sosa is a pioneer of contemporary virtue epistemology. Engaging extensively with his work, a team of renowned scholars of Chinese philosophy bring Western analytic epistemology into dialogue with themes and issues in the history of the Chinese tradition in order to reveal multiple points of connection. Including Sosa’s constructive and systematic responses to each scholar’s interpretation of his work, this volume demonstrates the value of cross-cultural dialogue, advancing the field of virtue epistemology and paving the way for further engagement between philosophical traditions.

Cross-Cultural Existentialism On the Meaning of Life in Asian and Western Thought Leah Kalmanson, Drake University, USA Engaging in existential discourse beyond the European tradition, this book turns to Asian philosophies to reassess our capacity for living meaningfully in a changing world. Leah Kalmanson analyses existential resources from the work of 20th-century Korean nun Kim Iryop to China’s Song dynasty philosopher Zhu Xi. In the process, readers find meaning-making redefined as a dynamic activity that transforms both selves and their environments. Incorporating diverse non-Western perspectives, this book rethinks the assumptions that underly common existential questions and reframes the dilemmas of Western thought.

The Relevance of Hegel’s Concept of Philosophy
From Classical German Philosophy to Contemporary Metaphilosophy Edited by Luca Illetterati, University of Padua, Italy & Giovanna Miolli, University of Padua, Italy In the first systematic treatment of Hegel’s concept of philosophy and the different aspects related to it, this collection explores how Hegel and his understanding of his discipline can be put into dialogue with current metaphilosophical inquiries and shed light on the philosophical examination of the nature of philosophy itself. Reflecting the renewed and widespread interest in Hegel seen in analytic philosophy and continental thought, this volume advances the study of Hegel’s conceptual tools and provides new readings of traditional philosophical problems.

Philosophers on Consciousness
The Evolution of Consciousness
Edited by Jack Symes, University of Liverpool, UK
Paula Droege, Pennsylvania State University, USA
Talking about the Mind
We know what it is like to undergo a rich world of experience, yet no-one can explain how all of this comes about. Now you can find out why leading philosophers wrestle with the question: what is consciousness? Each chapter features a thinker’s explanation and defence of their position, accompanied by helpful overviews of why they matter and what they believe. Allowed to defend their response to the question of consciousness, philosophers test and challenge their rivals. Their debates bring the question of consciousness to life, offering you compelling insights into major philosophical positions.

Wittgenstein and the Problem of Metaphysics Aesthetics, Ethics and Subjectivity
Michael Smith, Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts, USA Exploring the rupture between Wittgenstein’s early and late phases, Michael Smith provides an original re-assessment of metaphysics in Wittgenstein’s works. Showing how Wittgenstein’s criticism of metaphysics typically invoked the very thing he was seeking to erase, the ‘problem of metaphysics’ becomes the organising principle of Wittgenstein’s thought. Smith further outlines Wittgenstein’s preoccupation with ethics and aesthetics to reassess Wittgenstein’s legacy using an analysis of Nietzsche’s critique of Kantian aesthetics and Kant’s ‘judgments of taste’ to reflect the limits and possibilities of metaphysics, aesthetics, and ethics and the task of the philosopher more generally.

The Evolution of Consciousness brings together interdisciplinary insights from philosophy, neuroscience, psychology and cognitive science to explain consciousness in terms of the biological function that grounds it in the physical world. Drawing on the novel analogy of a house of cards, Paula Droege pieces together various conceptual questions and shows how they rest on each other to form a coherent, structured argument. With examples from evolution, animal cognition, introspection and the free will debate, this is a compelling and animated account of the possible explanations of consciousness.

Straw Man Arguments A Study in Fallacy Theory
John Casey, Northeastern Illinois University, USA & Scott Aikin, Vanderbilt University, USA Straw Man Arguments is the first book-length study of the straw man fallacy and its deployment in philosophical reasoning. While this figure is commonly invoked in both academic dialogue and public discourse, it has not until now received the attention it deserves as a rhetorical device. A lively, provocative and thorough analysis of the topic, this book will appeal to postgraduates and researchers alike, working in a range of fields including fallacies, rhetoric, argumentation theory and informal logic.

The Futility of Philosophical Ethics
The History of Understanding in Analytic Philosophy
James Kirwan, Kansai University, Osaka, Japan
Edited by Adam Tamas Tuboly, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary
Metaethics and the Grounds of Moral Feeling The Futility of Philosophical Ethics puts forward a novel account of the grounds of moral feeling with fundamental implications for philosophical ethics. It examines the grounds of moral feeling by both the phenomenology of that feeling, and the facts of moral feeling in operation that appear paradoxical from the point of view of systematic ethics. Instead of trying to erase the variety of moral responses that exist in philosophical analysis under one totalizing system, Kirwan argues that such moral theorizing is futile and demonstrates why so many arguments in metaethics and normative ethics are necessarily irresolvable.

Representing the Present Moment
Around Logical Empiricism
Taking a historically orientated approach, this collection offers a fresh take on the development of understanding within analytic philosophy before, during and after logical empiricism, reinvigorating debates on the role of the social sciences within contemporary epistemology. Along with systematic historical coverage, the book situates verhesten within contemporary interdisciplinary developments in the field, shedding light on the 21st-century ‘turn’ to understanding among analytic philosophers and opening further lines of inquiry for philosophy of social science.

Chiara Bottici, New School for Social Research, USA A Feminist Mythology takes us on a poetic journey through the canonical myths of femininity. It is philosophy which re-introduces literary forms such as dialogue and story-telling in the actual writing practice and challenges the notion that myths can’t be philosophy and philosophy can’t be myths. Although there is a rich thread of storytelling running through the history of philosophy, after the 19th and 20th century the traditional treatise arose as the default format of philosophical writing and the incredible variety of philosophical writing styles of the past has been eclipsed. Chiara Bottici proposes an alternative writing style that recovers old philosophical traditions, one that goes from the pre-Socratic philosophers to the Renaissance dialogues and the Enlightenment philosophical novellas. As such, A Feminist Mythology takes the form of three mythologies which explore the psychoanalytic, feminist and philosophical issues through adopting a literary narrative voice. This voice asks us to read and engage with philosophy in a different way – through stories – in order to explore what it means to be a woman today. The book weaves together contemporary, ancient, mythological and political topics to provide what Bottici calls a ‘political imaginary’ which helps us confront and understand the contemporary world.

Mistress Ethics
On the Virtues of Sexual Kindness Victoria Brooks, University of Westminster, UK The figure of the mistress is undoubtedly controversial, conventionally depicted as a temptress, whose sexuality is considered defective and toxic. This book subverts these traditional judgements offering an unflinching look at the lived experience of the mistress and recasts her as a potentially loving, intimate and free ‘other’ woman. Drawing upon feminist philosophy, contemporary sexual ethics and the cultural moment of #MeToo, Mistress Ethics moves beyond a narrative of infidelity and opts, instead, for an ethics of kindness. This kindness will teach us new ways of thinking about ethics and sex, and reveal how we can be better to each other.

Joan Didion and the Ethics of Memory
Matthew R. McLennan, Saint Paul University, Canada For Matthew McLennan, Joan Didion’s writing is unified by the ‘ethics of memory’ – themes linked to memory: witnessing and grieving, nostalgia, and the paradoxically amnesiac qualities of our increasingly documented lives explored in famous texts like Blue Nights and The Year of Magical Thinking. In a book suitable for students of ethics and moral philosophy, American literature and American Studies, McLennan frames Didion as a serious if iconoclastic philosopher of time and memory. Through her encounters with the past, the lauded writer offers lessons for the future in an increasingly unsettled world.

Anarchafeminism
Chiara Bottici, New School for Social Research, USA In this first introductory text to anarchafeminism, Chiara Bottici argues that feminism needs anarchism and anarchism needs feminism. Radical political movements don't exist in isolation from each other. The fight for freedom and equality needs to operate on more than one connected plane. Anarchafeminism thus attempts to incorporate the strategems from both feminist and anarchist theories, approaches and grassroots activism to formulate a specific anarchafeminist approach adapted to the challenges of our times. The book introduces the key thinkers and ideas, setting out a manifesto which proposes a practical way ahead for a new more anarchafeminist society.

The Ethics of Generating Posthumans
Philosophical and Theological Reflections on Bringing New Persons into Existence Edited by Calum MacKellar, Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, Edinburgh, UK & Trevor Stammers, Independent Researcher and Writer Is it possible, ethically speaking, to create posthuman and transhuman persons from a religious perspective? Addressing such pressing ethical questions around post and transhuman creation, this volume considers the philosophical and theological arguments that define and stimulate contemporary debate. The collection’s interdisciplinary approach traverses the philosophical writings of Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, alongside theological considerations from the Christian, Islamic and Jewish traditions.

Vibrant Death
A Posthuman Phenomenology of Mourning Nina Lykke, Linköping Univesity, Sweden and Aarhus University, Denmark Nina Lykke offers a radically new materialist theory of death, critically moving the philosophical argument beyond Christian and secular-mechanistic understandings. Bringing together Deleuzian philosophy, materialism, posthumanism, poetry, and autobiographical stories, Vibrant Death explores the speaking position of a mourning, queerfeminine ”I” contemplating the relationship with her dead beloved lesbian life partner. Lykke reflects on her enactment of processes of co-becoming with the phenomenal and material traces of the deceased body, and the new assemblages with which it has merged through death’s material metamorphoses: that is, becoming-ashes through cremation and, when ashes are scattered, becoming-mixed-with-algae-sand.

Slavoj Žižek, Birkbeck Institute for Humanities, University of London, UK; New York University, USA; University of Ljubljana, Slovenia In Hegel and the Wired Brain, Slavoj Žižek gives us a reading of philosophical giant G.W.F. Hegel that changes our way of thinking about the new posthuman era. He focuses on the idea of the wired brain, providing a philosophical analysis of what happens when a direct link between our mental processes and a digital machine emerges. With characteristic energy, Žižek connects Hegel to our world today and shows why the 21st century might just be Hegelian.

Cinematic Art and Reversals of Power Deleuze via Blanchot
Eugene B. Young, Le Moyne College, Syracuse, USA Bringing together Deleuze, Blanchot, and Foucault, this book provides a detailed and original exploration of the ideas that influenced Deleuze’s thought leading up to and throughout his cinema volumes. In explicating the relationship between these key French theorists, Eugene B. Young provides important new insights for those working in literary and cinematic studies by advancing a new definition of art as that which reverses the realities and truths of power to express obscure ideas and values beyond both our exterior and interior worlds.

Deleuze and Ethology
A Philosophy of Entangled Life Jason Cullen, University of Queensland, Australia Ethology, or how animals relate to their environments, is enjoying increased academic attention. A prominent figure in this scholarship is Gilles Deleuze and yet the significance of his relational metaphysics to ethology has not yet been scrutinised. Here, Jason Cullen analyses Deleuze’s philosophical ethology and prioritises the theorist’s examination of how beings relate to each other. For Cullen, Deleuze’s Cinema books are crucial and expose a key Deleuzian theme: that beings are fundamentally continuous with each other. Owing to this continuity, Cullen reveals that how beings understand each other shapes them and allows them to transform their shared worlds.

Hegel's Political Aesthetics Art in Modern Society
Edited by Stefan Bird-Pollan, University of Kentucky, USA & Vladimir Marchenkov, Ohio University, USA What is the role of art in modern society? To what extent are the beautiful and the morally good intertwined? This volume explores Hegel’s take on these ever-relevant philosophical questions and investigates three key themes: art’s contribution to modern ethical life; the loss of art’s authority in modern ethical life; and ways of thinking beyond Hegel’s analysis of art’s role in society.

From Deleuze and Guattari to Posthumanism Philosophies of Immanence
Edited by Christine Daigle, Brock University, Canada & Terrance H. McDonald, Brock University, Canada Uncovering the theoretical and creative interconnections between posthumanism and philosophies of immanence, this volume maps a multiplicity of pathways from Deleuze, Guattari and their theoretical allies – including Spinoza and Nietzsche – to posthuman theory. Using up-to-date examples from film, literature, and technology, the authors investigate Deleuzian and Guattarian posthumanism from a variety of political and ethical frameworks and perspectives, from afro-pessimism to feminist thought, disability studies, biopolitics, and social justice.

Being and Event III
Alain Badiou, École Normale Supérieure, France Translated by Kenneth Reinhard, University of California, USA & Susan Spitzer, Independent Translator, USA The Being and Event trilogy is the philosophical basis of Alain Badiou's entire oeuvre. It is formed of three major texts, which constitute a kind of metaphysical saga: Being and Event (1988), Logics of the Worlds (2006) and finally The Immanence of Truths, which he has been working on for fifteen years. Whilst in Logics of Worlds Badiou analyzes how truths appear from the perspective of particular worlds that by definition exclude them, in this final volume Badiou asks instead how the irruption of truths transforms the worlds within which they must by necessity arise.

Michel Henry’s Practical Philosophy
Edited by Jeffrey Hanson, Harvard University, USA, Brian Harding, Texas Women's University, USA & Michael R. Kelly, University of San Diego, USA Providing theoretical and applied analyses of Michel Henry’s practical philosophy in light of his guiding idea of Life, this is the first sustained exploration of Henry’s practical thought in anglophone literature, reaffirming his centrality to contemporary continental thought. This book ranges from the tension between his methodological insistence on life as non-intentional and worldly activities to Henry’s engagement with the practical philosophy of intellectuals such as Marx, Freud, and Kandisky to topics of application such as labor, abstract art, education, political liberalism, and spiritual life.

Rediscovering Léon Brunschvicg’s Critical Idealism Philosophy, History and Science in the Third Republic
Pietro Terzi, Paris Nanterre University, France The critical philosophy of Léon Brunschvicg receives a fresh look in the first English-language monograph on his work. Through outlining his defence of neoKantian judgement, historical analysis and the inextricability of the natural and humanist sciences to any rigorous system of philosophy, Terzi situates Brunschvicg’s philosophy alongside his contemporary Henri Bergson, as well as the philosophers he taught and influenced, including Lévinas, Merleau-Ponty, de Beauvoir, and Sartre. This original study reveals Brunschvicg as a philosopher who made his own fundamental contributions to 20th Century French philosophy, with wide-ranging implications for contemporary scholarship.

The Immanence of Truths
On Political Impasse
Power, Resistance, and New Forms of Selfhood Antonio Calcagno, King's University College, Western University, Canada The new globalised world has produced a shift in how power works: not only is power concentrated in the hands of very few while millions become more oppressed by radical shortages and growing costs, but we also have a new category of political subjectivity in which many find themselves neither rulers nor radically oppressed. Those living the neither/nor of contemporary power live the global impasse. For those of us stuck and compelled to wait for dominant power to break, this book uncovers possibilities in thought, imagination, and self-appropriation through oikeiosis, that is, making oneself at home in oneself, and constancy.

The Posthuman Pandemic
Edited by Saul Newman, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK & Tihomir Topuzovski, The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Macedonia
Charting a genealogy of the modern idea of the self, Felix Ó Murchadha explores the accounts of self-identity expounded by key Early Modern philosophers, Montaigne, Descartes, Pascal, Spinoza, Hume and Kant. As the question of the self came to the forefront of philosophical concern with Modernity, beginning with an appeal to models of the self found in Stoicism, Scepticism, Augustinianism and Pelagianism, before continuing to advance, this book explores its trajectory and pursues a number of themes central to the development of Early Modern selfhood, including grace, passion, faith and reason.
Global pandemics bring into sharp focus the ecological crisis, the bankruptcy of the neoliberal economic paradigm and our dependence upon political forces outside our control. In reaction to the COVID-19 crisis, this volume highlights the urgent need to rethink our anthropocentrism and develop new political models, aesthetic practices and ways of living. Central to these discussions is posthumanism: a philosophy that takes seriously the unstable ecosystems on which we depend and the precarious nature of our long-cherished notion of agency. Bringing together international philosophers, political theorists and media theorists, this volume tackles head on the posthuman challenges confronting us today.

Adorno’s Rhinoceros Art, Nature, Critique
Edited by Antonia Hofstätter, University of Warwick, UK & Daniel Steuer, Independent Scholar, Austria Taking its cue from Adorno's words, ‘So a rhinoceros, the mute animal, seems to say: I am a rhinoceros’, this book explores the life of the rhinoceros in Adorno’s texts. Using examples from thinkers such as G.E. Lessing, Max Horkheimer and H. G. Wells, the authors here investigate the relationships between humans and animals, art and nature, expression and communication and the particular and the universal. By illuminating the key elements in Adorno’s work, this volume reveals the prescient contributions that this ‘classical’ thinker can make to our current reflections on how to achieve social and political harmony.

Adorno and Neoliberalism The Critique of Exchange Society
Charles A. Prusik, Villanova University, USA Can we imagine a future which transcends the social logic of neoliberalism? Through an incisive critique of the miseries which neoliberalism instigates, Charles A. Prusik argues that a radical alternative is possible. Using the critical theory of Adorno, Prusik builds on anti-capitalist sentiment over stark wealth inequality to drill down to what exactly enables the creation of abstract wealth, namely, work, by many, for a minority who benefit from it. Tracing the growing and gruelling expenditure of labour in societies which should allow for plenty further reveals the need to realise and react to the contradictory crises of neoliberalism today.

French and Italian Stoicisms From Sartre to Agamben
Edited by Kurt Lampe, University of Bristol, UK & Janae Sholtz, Alvernia University, USA The importance of Stoicism for Gilles Deleuze’s Logic of Sense and Michel Foucault’s Hermeneutics of the Subject and The Care of the Self is well known. However, few students of either classics or philosophy are aware of the breadth of French and Italian receptions of Stoicism. This book firstly presents this broad field to readers, and secondly advances it by renewing dialogues with ancient Stoic texts. The authors in this volume, who combine expertise in continental and Hellenistic philosophy, challenge our understanding of both modern and ancient concepts, arguments, exercises, and therapies.

Adorno's 'Minima Moralia' in the 21st Century Fascism, Work and Ecology
Edited by Caren Irr, Brandeis University, USA This interdisciplinary volume revisits Adorno’s lesserknown work, Minima Moralia, and makes the case for its application to the most urgent concerns of the 21st century. Contributing authors situate Adorno at the heart of contemporary debates on the current ecological crisis, the changing nature of work, the idea of utopia, and the renewed rise of fascism. These new and timely readings of Adorno’s Minima Moralia teach us to adapt, and make space for the small, poetic, and feral qualities of life and being in the environment to open spaces and borders between us in the spirit of Adorno’s lifelong project.

Crisis and Husserlian Phenomenology
A Reflection on Awakened Subjectivity Kenneth Knies, Sacred Heart University, Connecticut, USA The experience of realizing that something has slipped our notice is a common one and yet it has profound implications for how phenomenology - or the study of consciousness - relates to everyday life. Is this failure a form of naiveté? Kenneth Knies develops an original account of naiveté and accountability using Edmund Husserl's philosophy on naiveté and wakefulness, in dialogue with other key thinkers in Continental philosophy such as Descartes, Kant, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and Derrida. In doing so, he explores how transcendental subjectivity, or pure consciousness is discovered and what exactly it is responsible for.

Human Beings and their Images Imagination, Mimesis, Imaginary
Christoph Wulf, Free University of Berlin, Germany Bringing the image into dialogue with the imagination, mimesis and the imaginary, Christoph Wulf illuminates the historical, cultural and philosophical aspects of the relationship between images and human beings. He explores the cultural power of the image and shows how images take root in our personal and collective imaginaries to determine how we feel, how we perceive the arts, and how images stimulate our physical actions, from games and dance to rituals and gesture. As such, this book provides a complete anthropological description of the dynamics of the imagination and the imaginary.

Museums and Wealth
The Politics of Contemporary Art Collections Nizan Shaked, California State University, USA Critically analyzing contemporary art collections and the value form, Nizan Shaked shows why the nonprofit system is unfit to administer our common collections, and offers solutions for diversity reform and redistributive restructuring. A history of how private collections were turned public gives context. Since the late Renaissance, private collections legitimized the prince's right to rule, and later, with the great revolutions, display consolidated national identity. But the rise of the American museum reversed this and re-privatized the public collection. A materialist description of the museum as a model institution of the liberal nation state reveals constellations of imperialist social relations.

Adorning Bodies The Peacock's Tale
Marilynn Johnson, Florida International University, USA Drawing on evolutionary theory and philosophy to think about art, beauty, and aesthetics, Marilynn Johnson explores first how the ways we use our bodies are similar — yet at other times different — to animals. She then examines the work of evolutionary theorists, philosophers of language, and cultural theorists to explore both natural and non-natural meanings of bodies and clothes, and how both systems of meaning signify relevant information to other humans. As well as considering how the body can express natural meanings, Johnson shows that how we dress could negatively influence the way our bodies are read.

Jean-Francois Lyotard
‘Nobody knows how to write’. Thus opens this nuanced and accessible collection of essays by one the most important philosophers of the 20th century, Jean-François Lyotard. First published as Lectures d’enfance, investigating Lyotard's idea of infantia, or the infancy of thought that resists all forms of development, these essays are published together in English for the first time. Each essay responds to thinkers central to cultural modernism, such as James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Hannah Arendt, and Sigmund Freud. With an introduction and afterword by Robert Harvey and Kiff Bamford, this volume contextualises Lyotard’s thought and demonstrates his continued relevance today.

Fashion | Sense
On Philosophy and Fashion Gwenda-lin Kaur Grewal, The New School for Social Research, USA
Locating poetry in a philosophy of the everyday, Brett Bourbon continues a tradition of attention to logic in everyday utterances through Wittgenstein, Austin, Quine, and Cavell. He argues that poems are events of form, not just collections of words, which shape everyone's lives. Bourbon resurrects these everyday poems to construct an anthropology of form that centers poems as events in our lives. By reclaiming arenas previously ceded to essayists and literary writers, Bourbon reveals the care and attention necessary to uncovering the intimate relationship between poems, life, reading and living.

Philosophical Reflections on Black Mirror
Edited by Dan Shaw, Late of Lock Haven University, USA, Kingsley Marshall, Falmouth University, UK & James Rocha, California State University, Fresno, USA
Fashion | Sense seeks to explode fashion, and with it, the stigma in philosophy against fashion’s superficiality. Using ancient Greek texts, alongside allusions to fashion and pop culture, Grewal examines the rift between fashion and philosophy, and challenges the claim that fashion is modern. Fashion’s quarrel with philosophy may be as ancient as that infamous quarrel between philosophy and poetry. And the quest for fashion’s origins – for a neutrally-outfitted self, stripped of the self-awareness that comes with thinking – prompts questions about human agency and time. In the silhouettes of clothes and words, fashion emerges as perhaps philosophy’s most underestimated doppelgänger.
Black Mirror is a cultural phenomenon. It is a creative, sometimes shocking examination of modern society and the improbable consequences of technological progress. The episodes, typically set in an alternative present or the near future, usually have a dark and satirical twist that provokes intense questioning both of the self and society at large. Drawing upon thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Pierre Hadot and Michel Foucault, this book uncovers how Black Mirror acts as ‘philosophical television’ questioning human morality and humanity’s vulnerability when faced with the inexorable advance of technology.

A Philosophy for Future Generations
Karl Polanyi and the Contemporary Political Crisis
Tiziana Andina, University of Turin, Italy
Peadar Kirby, University of Limerick, Ireland
The Structure and Dynamics of Transgenerationality In this study of the diachronic structure of societies, Tiziana Andina considers the never-ending passage of generations, as each new generation comes to form part of a social fabric and political model that unfolds over the course of history. This model draws attention to what can often be an overlooked problem: new generations must form social and political arrangements designed by the generations that came before them. By confronting the ethics and function of this fundamental relationship, we understand the role of the intergenerational relationship in the formation and endurance of Western democracies.

Logic, Love and Ethics
Transforming Market Society in the Era of Climate Change Investigating the causes of our current global crisis by drawing on the work of Karl Polanyi, Peadar Kirby explores Polanyi’s theory that social disruptions are caused by the attempt to run society according to the rules of the market. Kirby uses these ideas to tackle weaknesses in Marxism and demonstrate how we can build a strong alternative theory. By linking the ecological and socio-economic crises, Kirby highlights how an alternative socioeconomic model is emerging, consistent with the insights of Polanyi, which he terms ecosocialism. This is an urgent intervention into the key debates surrounding politics, social policy and international relations.

Philosopher of the Sleepless Night Matthew Beaumont, University College London, UK In a wide-ranging reappraisal of the life and thought of Jewish philosopher, Lev Shestov, Matthew Beaumont restores Shestov to prominence as a thinker for turbulent times. In reconstructing Shestov’s thought and asserting its continued relevance, the book’s central theme is wakefulness. It argues that, for Shestov, escape from the limits of rationalist Enlightenment thought came from maintaining an insomniac vigilance in the spiritual night to which his century appeared condemned. Shestov’s engagement with Christ's wakefulness in the Garden of Gethsemane then is at the core of his inspiring understanding of our ethical responsibilities after the horrors of the twentieth century.

Bringing Buddhas and Gods Down to Earth Nathan Eric Dickman, University of the Ozarks, USA Focusing on three case studies of questions in divine discourse on the level of story—the god depicted in the Jewish Bible, the master Mazu in his recorded sayings literature, and Jesus as he is depicted in canonized Christian Gospels – Nathan Eric Dickman meditates on human responses to divine questions. He considers the purpose of interreligious dialogue and the provocative kind of questions that seem to purposefully decenter us, drawing on methods from confessionally-oriented hermeneutics and skills from critical thinking. This is the first step in an inclusive and diverse phenomenology of religions, grounded in the world we live in.

East Timor, René Girard and Neocolonial Violence Scapegoating as Australian Policy
Susan Connelly, Sister of St Joseph, Australia Susan Connelly draws on the mimetic theory of René Girard to show how the East Timorese people were scapegoated by Australian foreign policy during the 20th century. She reveals Australia’s mimetic dependence on Indonesia and other nations for security and argues that Australia’s complicity in the Indonesian occupation of East Timor perpetuated the sacrifice of the Timorese people as victims, thus calling into question the traditional Australian values of egalitarianism and fairness. In doing so, this book offers a fresh perspective on Australian and Timorese relations and sheds light on the origins and operations of human violence.

Reading Augustine Miles Hollingworth
On Distance, Belonging, Isolation and the Quarantined Church of Today Pablo Irizar, McGill University, Canada
Carefully drawing from a range of works by Augustine of Hippo, this book offers a sustained theological response to a pressing question arising in our times: in the absence of physical presence and communal worship, what does it mean to belong in the Church? To answer this question, this book charts the blueprint of belonging, starting from the idea that human beings are inherently ‘capable of God’ (capax dei), first as individuals, and progressively also in becoming Church.
On Signs, Christ, Truth and the Interpretation of Scripture Susannah Ticciati, King's College London, UK
Exploring Augustine's scriptural world and interpretation, Ticciati illuminates his understanding of signs and semiotics. This in turn brings our own alienation from scripture into focus, and offers therapy for our modern day semiotic illiteracy.

Effort and Grace
On the Spiritual Exercise of Philosophy Simone Kotva, Emmanuel College, Cambridge, UK Philosophy and theology have long harboured contradictory views on spiritual practice. As such, the historical juxtaposition of effort and grace grounding modern spiritual exercise can be seen as the essential tension between the secular and sacred. By exploring the relationship between French spiritualist philosophy and contemplative practice, Simone Kotva traces the narrative of spiritual exercise through the work of seminal French thinkers such as Henri Bergson, Simone Weil and Gilles Deleuze. Her work allows both secular philosophers and theologians to understand how the spiritual life can participate in the contemporary philosophical conversation.

Classical Theism and Buddhism Connecting Metaphysical and Ethical Systems
Tyler Dalton McNabb, University of St. Joseph, Macau & Erik Baldwin, University of Notre Dame, USA What if a Buddhist could also be a Classical Theist? Challenging existing assumptions about the incompatibility of Buddhism and Classical Theism, this book draws parallels between their metaphysical, ethical and soteriological doctrines and puts forward a synthesis of the two traditions. In doing so, it offers a bold, fresh perspective on the philosophy of religion and reinvigorates philosophical debates between Buddhism and Christianity.

Four Views on the Axiology of Theism What Difference Does God Make? Edited by Kirk Lougheed, University of Johannesburg, South Africa Bringing together four prestigious philosophers, Four Views on the Axiology of Theism presents varying views on the axiological question about God. The volume allows each contributor to express a position on axiology, which is then met with responses from the remaining contributors. This structure makes for genuine discussion and developed exploration of the key issues at stake, and shows that the axiological question is more complicated than it first appears.

The Scientific Counter-Revolution
The Jesuits and the Invention of Modern Science Michael John Gorman, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich, Germany Investigating the activities of the Jesuit 'school' of mathematics founded by Christoph Clavius, this book examines the Jesuit connections to the rise of experimental natural philosophy and the emergence of the early scientific societies. Gorman traces the development of a collective Jesuit approach to experimentation and observation under Christopher Grienberger and analyses the Jesuit role in the Galileo Affair and the vacuum debate. Ending with a discussion of the transformation of the Collegio Romano under Athanasius Kircher, the book reveals how the Counter-Reformation goals of the Jesuits contributed to the shaping of modern experimental science.
