Surplus-Enjoyment

A Guide For The Non-Perplexed Slavoj Žižek, Birkbeck Institute for Humanities, University of London, UK; New York University, USA; University of Ljubljana, Slovenia Slavoj Žižek takes on the Hegelian notion of “verkehrte Welt” (the world turned upside down) and considers it the perfect concept for our current predicament. He posits a philosophy of reversals which disrupts the execution of even the best projects. He explores and illustrates this notion through contemporary ecological thought, the writings of Hegel, psychoanalysis, recent political crises, the history of pandemics and popular culture, and ultimately finds freedom in the deadlocks and paradoxical reversals of the world today.

Star Trek's Philosophy of Peace and Justice A Global, Anti-Racist Approach

José-Antonio Orosco, Oregon State University, USA Countering the dystopic and the apocalyptic, Star Trek's Philosophy of Peace and Justice introduces political philosophical reflections on peace, justice, and non-violence through dramatic plots in the utopian Star Trek Universe. Using key insights from Martin Luther King Jr., Cesar Chavez, Angela Davis, Martha Nussbaum, Johan Galtung, and Desmond Tutu, Orosco guides readers through different Star Trek episodes to reveal the radical potential and unique philosophical standpoint of each episode. José-Antonio Orosco argues that we can think through the big questions in political philosophy and peace and justice studies by learning from a society where human beings have overcome war, poverty, hunger, and greed.

Revolutionary Hope After Nihilism Marginalized Voices and Dissent

Saladdin Ahmed, Union College, USA Revolutionary Hope After Nihilism outlines a practical philosophy of change that rejects ideologies of false hope and passive hopelessness. Saladdin Ahmed introduces a critical theory of social emancipation based on post-Soviet revolutionary movements that have emerged at the margins of the global social order. The rise of socially and politically exclusionary movements in multiple parts of the world, ongoing ecological crisis, anti-Black racism, and the concretization of despair brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic demands a new approach to revolution which the author argues must be rooted in the experiences of the most oppressed in society.

Comparative Approaches to Compassion

Understanding Nonviolence in World Religions and Politics Ramin Jahanbegloo, Jindal Global Law School and O.P. Jindal Global University, India Ramin Jahanbegloo develops the concept of compassion as a practical and ethical response to the problems of today’s world. Examining the power of compassion through the lens of multiple world religions, he explores ahimsa in Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism and neighbourly love in Christianity, before synthesizing the two concepts in the Gandhian theory of non-violence and its impact on Muslim and Christian thinkers such as Abdul Ghaffar Khan and Martin Luther King, Jr. Jahanbegloo's comparative approach enriches our understanding of nonviolence as a universal philosophy and practice for the 21st century.

Ethics and Insurrection

A Pragmatism for the Oppressed Lee A. McBride III, College of Wooster, USA Lee A. McBride III articulates an ethical position that takes critical pragmatism and Harrisian insurrectionist philosophy seriously. It suggests that there are values and norms that create boundaries that confine, reduce and circumscribe the actions we allow ourselves to consider. This book argues that an insurrectionist ethos is integral in the disavowing of norms and traditions that justify or perpetuate oppression and that we must throw our faith behind something, some set of values, if we want a chance at shaping a future.

Vegetal Sex

João Pedro Cachopo, New University of Lisbon, Portugal

Stella Sandford, Kingston University London, UK

Imagination in Times of Isolation

Philosophy of Plants

A refreshing approach to the dominance of technology in our contemporary lives, The Digital Pandemic, translated from Portuguese, poses fundamental questions about love, connectedness, proximity, and consciousness. The transformation of human experience during 2020 creates a break in our sociality that João Pedro Cachopo pinpoints through key themes of love, travel, study, community, and art. In contrast to the growing philosophical literature on the pandemic, this bold theoretical work does not prophesy the fall of capitalism or the end of personal freedom and relationships.

This book introduces the exciting field of plant philosophy and takes it in a new direction, asking what does it mean to say that plants are sexed? Do ‘male’ and ‘female’ really mean the same when applied to humans, trees and algae? Sandford addresses these questions through a detailed analysis of major moments in the history of plant sex, from Aristotle to today. Tracing the transformations in the analogy between animals and plants that characterize this history, she shows how the analogy still functions in contemporary botany and asks: what would a non-zoocentric, plantcentred philosophy of vegetal sex look like?

Revolutionary Recognition

Richard Gunn, University of Edinburgh, UK & Adrian Wilding, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany The book is a major contribution to contemporary political theory, arguing that human emancipation is only possible in a society characterized by ‘mutual recognition’, understood in the Hegelian sense. In present-day political theory, ‘recognition’ is generally associated with reformist scenarios – seen as a way of legitimating social-democratic institutions or validating identity politics. Gunn and Wilding undertake a wide-ranging critique of these understandings of recognition, especially those of Charles Taylor and Axel Honneth, and argue, via Hegel and Marx, for mutual recognition’s revolutionary (not reformist) character. Mutual recognition, they contend, can and should become the rallying cry of the Left.

Ethics after Wittgenstein Contemplation and Critique

Edited by Richard Amesbury, Arizona State University, USA & Hartmut von Sass, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany

Why Climate Breakdown Matters

Rupert Read, University of East Anglia, UK Climate breakdown and the destruction of the living earth is the issue by which our children will judge us. Rupert Read's unflinchingly honest account is vital reading for those who want their philosophy to deal with reality and their climate concern to be more than a displacement activity.

P H I L O S O P H Y – Social & Political Philosophy / Ethics

The Digital Pandemic

Read argues that an acceptance of the actual horror of the crisis, and making space for and listening to climate -grief and -anxiety, gives us the opportunity to create a grounded response that is radically hopeful without offering shallow optimism. The needful path is through the trouble.

African Ethics

A Guide to Key Ideas Edited by Jonathan O. Chimakonam, University of Pretoria, South Africa and Eberhard Karls University of Tubingen, Germany & Luis Cordeiro-Rodrigues, Hunan University, China

This book brings together an international cohort of leading scholars to address the question of doing ethics in the light of Wittgenstein. Chapters advance a conception of philosophical ethics characterized by an attention to detail, meaning and importance which itself makes ethical demands on its practitioners. Working in conversation with literature and film, engaging deeply with anthropology and critical theory, and addressing problems from racialized sexual violence against women to the Islamic State, this book reclaims Wittgenstein’s legacy as an indispensable resource for contemporary ethics.

This is the first comprehensive exploration of African ethics, covering everything from normative ethics and applied ethics to meta-ethics and methodology. It is also an exploration of Ubuntu ethics, defined as a set of values based on concepts such as reciprocity, mutual respect, and working towards the common good. Not only a wide-ranging and incisive introduction that engages with both theory and practice, this is also a reformulation of key concepts and current debates in African ethics. Crucially, it is an inclusive text, one that speaks from an African perspective and contributes to the decolonizing of contemporary ethics.

Daoist Resonances in Heidegger Exploring a Forgotten Debt

Edited by David Chai, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Sikh Philosophy

Exploring gurmat Concepts in a Decolonizing World 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 muchneeded introduction we understand the place of Sikh philosophy within modern Sikh studies and why the philosophical quest became marginalized in contemporary Sikh studies.

Philosophies of Religion

A Global and Critical Introduction Timothy Knepper, Drake University, USA

In the first book-length study dedicated to the thought of Heidegger and Daoism, this collection provides a lesson in the art of Daoist thinking without becoming consumed by the question of being. Written by a team of scholars with the expertise to uncover insights from Heidegger’s vast corpus without losing sight of Daoism’s core doctrines, they argue that Heidegger’s turn to Daoism was due in part to the inability of the Western philosophical tradition to offer him the answers he needed as he sought a “second beginning” from which to reexamine the question of being.

This global introduction of philosophy of religion begins not with a single tradition, but with religious philosophies from East Asia, South Asia, West Africa, and Native North Americans. Matching this diversity of traditions, chapters are organised around questions that acknowledge there is no single understanding of god. The reader approaches Abrahamic, Yoruba, Lakota, and academic-contemporary philosophy of religion by asking: where do I come from? Where am I going? Where did the cosmos come from? Accompanied by an introduction, epilogue, and glossary, each chapter includes learning objectives, questions for discussion, and suggested primary and secondary sources.

A Theory of Justice

Carolina Araújo, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil In this pathbreaking interpretation of Plato’s foundational text of political philosophy, Carolina Araújo reveals how the Republic remains ripe for an interpretation grounded in notions of cooperation, flourishing and justice relevant to the diversity of contemporary life. With rigorous philosophical analysis of the Greek text, accompanied by original translations of the most important passages, Araújo upends mainstream scholarship to progress Socrates’ “bottom-up” view of politics and rejects previous readings of the Republic as proto-totalitarian text, psychological study, or lengthy analogy.

Edited by Lukas M. Verburgt, Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, Netherlands & Matteo Cosci, Ca’ Foscari University, Venice Charting the greatest challenges to Aristotle’s syllogism from the 4th century BCE until modern times, Lukas Verburgt and Matteo Cosci focus on a key period of rupture for syllogism from 1820-1930.

Machiavelli and the Problems of Military Force

Making Sense of Kant's “Critique of Pure Reason”

Sean Erwin, Barry University, USA

Michael Pendlebury, North Carolina State University, USA

A War of One’s Own

This book sheds light on Machiavelli’s critiques of military force and provides an important reinterpretation of his military theory. Sean Erwin argues that the distinction between arma propriis and arma alienis poses a central problem to Machiavelli’s case for why modern political institutions offer modes of political existence that ancient ones did not. Starting from the influence of Lucretius and Aelianus Tacticus on the Arte della guerra, he examines Machiavelli’s criticism of mercenary, auxiliary, and mixed forces.

A Philosophical Introduction

Michael Pendlebury distils three decades worth of teaching Kant’s first Critique to provide a short, accessible introduction that clarifies and makes sense of Kant’s account of perception, cognition, space, time, substance, causation, actuality, objectivity, and the presuppositions and limits of human knowledge. This book makes Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason digestible for all students, including those who are approaching it for the first time. Using select quotations from the original text, Pendlebury foregrounds Kant’s Critique independent of subsequent debates and interpretations to create a stimulating read.

Kant’s Rational Religion and the Radical Enlightenment From Spinoza to Contemporary Debates Anna Tomaszewska, Jagiellonian University, Poland

P H I L O S O P H Y – Ancient Philosophy / History of Western Philosophy / Modern Philosophy

Cooperative Flourishing in Plato’s 'Republic'

While Kant’s attempts to reconcile faith with reason have positioned him as a moderate Enlightenment thinker in predominating scholarship, Anna Tomaszewska sheds light on the affinities of his theology with the radical Enlightenment. She shows how Kant’s defence of religion consists of rationalizing its core tenets and establishing morality as the essence of religious faith. Revealing the significance of Kant’s theology for contemporary political philosophy, this book furthers the understanding of how the shift towards a secular outlook in Western culture was shaped by attempts to rationalize rather than uproot Christianity.

P H I L O S O P H Y – Philosophy of Art & Aesthetics

Aesthetics of Care

Practice in Everyday Life Yuriko Saito, Rhode Island School of Design, USA Building upon her previous work on everyday aesthetics, Yuriko Saito argues that aesthetic and ethical concerns are intimately connected in our everyday life. She demonstrates how aesthetic experience embodies a care relationship with the world and how the ethical relationship with others, whether humans, non-human creatures, environments, or artifacts, is guided by aesthetic sensibility and manifested through aesthetic means. Weaving together insights gained from philosophy, art, design, and medicine, as well as artistic and cultural practices of Japan, she illuminates the aesthetic dimensions of various forms of care in our management of everyday life.

The Big Anxiety

Taking Care of Mental Health in Times of Crisis Edited by Jill Bennett, University of New South Wales, Australia This book takes a creative approach in examining the biggest crises of our time – that of mental suffering, distress and anxiety. By bringing together essays and dialogues from thinkers and artists across a range of disciplines, it re-imagines approaches to mental crises, support and care. Amid growing recognition that mental health is not only the province of psychiatry and the health sector, but a concern for the whole community, the book opens up critical new ways of thinking about our internal lives and the forces that affect them.

Making Meaning in Popular Song Philosophical Essays

Theodore Gracyk, Minnesota State University Moorhead, USA Arguing against prevailing theories of meaning in popular music studies that ignore the power of the performance, Theodore Gracyk argues for the contextual relevance of the performer. Extending his doctrine of meaning as use, Gracyk explains how both the performance persona and the personal life of a song’s performer can contribute to (or undercut) ethical and political aspects of a performance or recording. Informed by a mix of philosophy of art and philosophy of language, Gracyk's entertaining study of popular music constructs the first theory for philosophy of meaning for songs.

A Poetic Philosophy of Language Nietzsche and Wittgenstein’s Expressivism

Philip Mills, University of Lausanne, Switzerland Connecting poetry and the philosophy of language, Philip Mills bridges the continental and analytical divide by bringing together the writings of Nietzsche and Wittgenstein. Through an expressivist philosophy of poetry, he argues that we can understand some of the core questions in the philosophy of language. By tracing the expressivist tradition of the philosophy of language, this study locates its roots in German Romanticism right through to the work of contemporary expressivists such as Huw Price and Robert Brandom. Mills’ study operates at the crossroads between philosophy of art and language, proposing a new philosophy of poetry with wide-ranging potentialities.

The Aesthetics of Imperfection in Music and the Arts Spontaneity, Flaws and the Unfinished

Edited by Andy Hamilton, Durham University, UK & Lara Pearson, Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, Germany This book addresses the meaning and value of improvisation and spontaneous creation across different artistic media, including music, visual art, dance, comedy, architecture and design. It addresses the nature of performance across Western and non-Western musical and artistic forms, a wider view that communicates novel perspectives on imperfection and improvisation. The volume also features the perspectives of composers and nonperforming artists on what might be considered "imperfect" or improvisatory within their work, thus contributing another dimension to the discourse.

Taste and Experience in Eighteenth-Century British Aesthetics The Move toward Empiricism

Dabney Townsend, Georgia Southern University, USA Examining a proto-aesthetic, Dabney Townsend surveys theories of taste and beauty arising from the empiricist shift in philosophy in 18th-century Britain. Featuring chapters tracing its philosophical principles, issues raised by the subjectivity of the empiricist approach and the more academic proto-aesthetic formed toward the end of the century, this volume proposes that Lockean empiricism laid the foundations for what we now call aesthetics. Townsend draws on a wealth of thinkers such as Francis Hutcheson, David Hume, Alexander Gerard and Thomas Reid to present a novel reading of the century and challenge our understanding of the philosophy of art.

She discusses a number of cinematic examples, and the costumes and fashion elements within them, illustrating the importance of issues such as the performative side of fashion, the alteration between novelty and repetition, the pivotal role of the body, and the relation between fashion, style, and individual as well as collective identity.

Walter Benjamin and the Critique of Political Economy A New Historical Materialism

Duy Lap Nguyen, University of Houston, USA Exploring the connections between Walter Benjamin’s philosophy of history and a Marxian critique of political economy, Duy Lap Nguyen analyses Benjamin’s early writings and their development into a specific theory of historical materialism. Benjamin’s own theory of revolution and redemption in capitalist society is understood in relation to the materialist critique of progress he advanced. Essential to this critique is the potential to overturn the political and economic catastrophes which historically characterise capitalism and enable fascism to thrive. Nguyen combines this critique with other aspects of Benjamin's historical materialism to demonstrate his unique contribution to Western Marxism.

Spectacular Logic in Hegel and Debord

Toward a Critical Theory of Nature

Why Everything is as it Seems

Capital, Ecology, and Dialectics

Eric-John Russell, University of Paris 8, France

Carl Cassegård, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

Revisiting Guy Debord’s seminal work, The Society of the Spectacle (1967), Eric-John Russell breathes new life into a text which directly preceded and informed the revolutionary fervour of May 1968. Deepening the analysis between Debord and Marx by revealing the centrality of Hegel’s speculative logic to both, he traces Debord’s intellectual debt to Hegel in a way that treads new ground for critical theory. Drawing extensively from The Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) and Science of Logic (1812), this book illustrates the lasting impact of Debord’s critical theory of 20th-century capitalism and reveals new possibilities for the critique of capitalism.

This book offers a bold new theoretical understanding of the current ecological crisis via the Frankfurt School. Focusing on key notions of dialectics, natural history, and materialism, a critical theory of nature is outlined in favor of a more traditional Marxist theory of nature, albeit one which still builds on Marxist concepts to confirm humanity’s centrality in manufacturing environmental misery. Pre-eminent thinkers including Georg Lukács, Ernst Bloch, and Theodor Adorno are highlighted for their potential to diagnose the interpenetration of capitalism and nature in a way that neither absolutizes nor obliterates the boundary between the social and natural.

Joy and Laughter in Nietzsche’s Philosophy

The Parallel Philosophies of Sartre and Nietzsche

Edited by Paul E. Kirkland, Carthage College, USA & Michael J. McNeal, University of Denver, USA

Nik Farrell Fox, University of Lincoln, UK

Alternative Liberatory Politics

This volume analyses the importance of joy in Nietzsche’s thought, the 11 essays collected chart the importance of attending to his many references to festivity, cheerfulness, laughter, and joy, as well as his use of riddles. The volume reveals a version of Nietzsche who is far from the caricature of hopeless nihilism and instead is the unrealised champion of an alternative liberatory politics. The political potential of this aesthetic finds full articulation in this distinctive volume that markedly advances Nietzsche studies, generating new directions through highlighting the ludic in the formerly nihilist.

Deleuze, Guattari and the Machine in Early Christianity

Schizoanalysis, Affect and Multiplicity Bradley H. McLean, University of Toronto, Canada Expanding the impact of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s philosophy on Christian theology, this original study makes the case for understanding early Christianity through key Deleuzioguattarian ideas about machines and multiplicity, using the theoretical tool of schizoanalysis to do so. Situating the historical emergence of early Christianity as constrained by traditional assumptions that deny the genesis, change and transformation that characterises early Christianity, Bradley McLean argues that machines are both an unnoticed dimension of early Christianity, as well as a major analytical tool for the discipline.

Ethics, Ontology and the Self

Tracing the connections between the existentialist philosophies of these two philosophers, Nik Farrell Fox provides new readings of Nietzsche and Sartre attuned to questions of the self, politics and ethics. Through engaging with new readings of Nietzsche and Sartre as authoritative strands of interpretation, this book identifies both philosophers as twin thinkers of a deconstructive and paradoxical logic. Fox further re-examines their work in light of contemporary debates concerning posthumanism, vibrant materialism, quantum theory and speculative realism. Sartre and Nietzsche presents two iconic existentialists as thoroughly contemporary thinkers whose complex, rich, and sometimes-ambiguous philosophy, illuminates our present existential situation.

Adorno and the Ban on Images

Sebastian Truskolaski, University of Manchester, UK This book argues that Adorno’s writings allow us to address what is arguably the central challenge of modern philosophy: how to picture a world beyond suffering and injustice without betraying its vital impulse. By re-appraising his writings on politics, philosophy, and art, Sebastian Truskolaski reconstructs Adorno’s overall project from a radically new perspective. Taking his ‘standpoint of redemption’ as its starting point, whilst also dealing with his recurrent reference to the Old Testament ban on images, this book brings Adorno’s central concerns to bear on debates about Utopia that have come to define political visions across the political spectrum.

Edited by Kiff Bamford, Leeds Beckett University, UK & Margret Grebowicz, University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland By engaging with the philosophy of Jean-François Lyotard, this volume addresses the current crisis in the production and value of knowledge in the humanities. Following Lyotard’s Postmodern Fables, the essays chase ‘the same force of lightness’ that Lyotard saw in the arts and the sciences, minimizing jargon and literature review and forging new architectures for interdisciplinarity, critical practice and creative academic work. Alongside short texts by Lyotard himself, some translated here for the first time, international scholars and artists explore how Lyotard’s thought urges us to question, disrupt and find alternatives to the established programme of the humanities today.

The Philosophy of Mario Perniola From Aesthetics to Dandyism Enea Bianchi, NUI Galway, Ireland This is the first introduction to the pioneering philosophy of Mario Perniola. Enea Bianchi provides a comprehensive examination of Perniola’s entire oeuvre, whilst also pushing his thought into new directions by investigating the connection between his aesthetics and the philosophical underpinnings of dandyism. Exploring seven notions pivotal to understanding Perniola’s thought, including the “sex appeal of the inorganic”, the “enigma” and the “artistic shadow”, this book combines these with three exemplar dandies – George Brummell, Charles Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde – to uncover their shared aesthetic opposition to their own lives and times, to commodification and to banalisation of taste.

Structure Phenomenology

Preconscious Formation in the Epistemic Disclosure of Reality Herbert Witzenmann Edited by Johannes Wagemann, Alanus University, Mannheim, Germany This open access book is the first English translation of Herbert Witzenmann’s Strukturphänomenologie, which introduces a fresh approach to the nexus of consciousness and reality. Unlike many philosophers advocating pre-reflective consciousness, Witzenmann contends that it is not neural processes that produce consciousness, but rather one’s own preconscious rootedness in reality which can be made conscious. With a comprehensive introduction, this translation also explores Witzenmann’s central sources of inspiration, Rudolf Steiner and Goethe, and situates his theories within the development of phenomenology.

Beckett and Dialectics Be it Something or Nothing

Edited by Eva Ruda, Yale University, USA For a long time, analysis of Samuel Beckett’s work has been dominated by existentialist and poststructuralist interpretations, yet this new volume uncovers a different Beckett, whose work exposes and challenges central dialectical components– such as objectivity, subjectivity, exteriority, interiority, and most crucially: negativity. Most excitingly, it offers new perspectives, not just on how the writer used shapes, types and forms of negation, but on the dialectical structure of a wide range of Beckettian phenomena, like the relation between voice and silence, and space and void, thus forming an important new element of Beckett studies, and even more fundamentally, dialectics itself.

Kierkegaard and Philosophical Eros

Between Ironic Reflection and Aesthetic Meaning Ulrika Carlsson, Independent Scholar, Poland In an original argument, Ulrika Carlsson grasps hold of the figure of Eros that haunts Søren Kierkegaard’s The Concept of Irony, and for the first time, uses it as a key to interpret both that text and the philosopher’s second book, Either/Or. In an illuminating analysis, Carlsson argues that Kierkegaard adopts Plato’s idea of Eros as the fundamental force that drives humans in all their pursuits and that, for him, every existential stance—every way of living and relating to the outside world—is at heart a way of loving.

Perception and Imagination in a Digital Age Daniel O'Shiel, Universidad Diego Portales, Chile Daniel O'Shiel provides the first comprehensive phenomenology of virtual technology in order to show how the previously well-established experiential lines and structures between three basic categories of phenomenal experience – our everyday perceptions of reality; our everyday fantasies of irreality; and our everyday engagements with external images, not least digital ones – are becoming blurred, inverted or are even collapsing in a new era where a specific type of virtuality is coming to the fore. O’Shiel examines in depth just what this means for the phenomenology behind it, as well as the concrete practical consequences going forward.

The Primacy of Resistance

Power, Opposition and Becoming Marco Checchi, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK What is at the heart of political resistance? Whilst traditional accounts often conceptualise it as a reaction to power, this volume (prioritising remarks by Michel Foucault) invites us to think of resistance as primary. The author proposes a strategic analysis that highlights how our efforts need to be redirected towards a horizon of creation and change. This text combines a range of political and philosophical scholarship and provides an innovative rethinking of Foucault’s model of power relations that leads towards a new autonomism for the 21st century.

Comparing and contrasting views which deny the reality of the flow of time and those which admit it, they reveal how non-standard views about tense is changing the shape of the contemporary debate. Defending a fragmentalist theory of the passage of time, Iaquinto and Torrengo articulate a novel account of the time and highlight its impact on the relation between the self and one’s perspective on reality.

The Notions of George Berkeley Self, Substance, Unity and Power James Hill, Charles University, Prague In a systematic interpretation and positive reconstruction of George Berkeley’s doctrine of notions, James Hill considers his understanding of the inner sphere and self-awareness, and invites us to treat Berkeley’s philosophy of mind as distinct from the empiricist tradition. Weaving together Berkeley’s conception of the intellect, conceptual thought, mathematics, ethics and theology, this volume examines the development of Berkeley’s philosophy from the early notebooks to the late Siris. This cutting edge reflection on the doctrine of notions is essential reading for students and scholars specialising in Berkeley as well as early modern accounts of the self, perception and God.

With novel contributions from both experts and rising stars, this book demonstrates the value of empirical work in causation and opens new domains of inquiry at the cutting edge of the field.
