Anti-Semitism and its Metaphysical Origins David Patterson University of Texas, Dallas

This book articulates a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of Jew hatred as a metaphysical aspect of the human soul. David Patterson argues that anti-Semitism arises from the temptation to be as God, and thus to flee from an absolute accountability to and for the other human being. Advance praise: ‘David Patterson’s remarkable book offers a new method for a provocative evaluation of anti-Semitism. It uses a ‘Jewish approach to understanding Jew hatred’ and sees the roots of this hatred springing from ancient, metaphysical origins. Analyzing the human ambition for unlimited power, it argues that longing to kill God drives the desire to kill the Jews. Incisive, lucid and extremely well researched, this work opens up new questions and gives new answers to the urgent issue of the hatred of the Jews.’ Zsuzsanna Ozsvath, Leah and Paul Lewis Chair of Holocaust Studies, Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies, University of Texas, Dallas 2015 228 x 152 mm 344pp 978-1-107-04074-8 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 Publication February 2015 For all formats available, see

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: Heidelberg Writings Journal Publications Georg Wilhelm Fredrich Hegel Edited by Brady Bowman Pennsylvania State University

and Allen Speight Boston University

This work brings together, for the first time in English translation, Hegel’s journal publications from his years in Heidelberg (1816–18), writings which have been previously either untranslated or only partially translated into English. The Heidelberg years marked Hegel’s return to university teaching and represented an important transition in his life and thought. The translated texts include his important reassessment of the works of the philosopher F. H. Jacobi, whose engagement with Spinozism, especially, was of decisive significance for the philosophical development of German Idealism. They also include his most influential writing about contemporary political events, his essay on the constitutional assembly in his native Württemberg, which was written against the background of the dramatic political and social changes occurring in post-Napoleonic Germany. The translators have provided an introduction and notes that offer a scholarly commentary on the philosophical and political background of Hegel’s Heidelberg writings. Cambridge Hegel Translations

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Basic Outline Part 1: Science of Logic Georg Wilhelm Fredrich Hegel Edited by Klaus Brinkmann Boston University

and Daniel O. Dahlstrom Boston University

Hegel’s Encyclopaedia Logic constitutes the foundation of the system of philosophy presented in his Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences. Together with his Science of Logic, it contains the most explicit formulation of his enduringly influential dialectical method and of the categorical system underlying his thought. It offers a more compact presentation of his dialectical method than is found elsewhere, and also incorporates changes that he would have made to the second edition of the Science of Logic if he had lived to do so. This volume presents it in a new translation with a helpful introduction and notes. It will be a valuable reference work for scholars and students of Hegel and German idealism, as well as for those who are interested in the post-Hegelian character of contemporary philosophy.

This 2010 translation of The Science of Logic (also known as ‘Greater Logic’) includes the revised Book I (1832), Book II (1813) and Book III (1816). Recent research has given us a detailed picture of the process that led Hegel to his final conception of the System and of the place of the Logic within it. We now understand how and why Hegel distanced himself from Schelling, how radical this break with his early mentor was, and to what extent it entailed a return (but with a difference)

Sartre A Philosophical Biography Thomas R. Flynn Emory University, Atlanta

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) was one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Regarded as the father of existentialist philosophy, he was also a political critic, moralist, playwright, novelist, and author of biographies and short stories. Thomas R. Flynn provides the first book-length account of Sartre as a philosopher of the imaginary, mapping the intellectual development of his ideas throughout his life, and building a narrative that is not only philosophical but also attentive to the political and literary dimensions of his work. Exploring Sartre’s existentialism, politics, ethics, and ontology, this book illuminates

Philosophical Religions from Plato to Spinoza Reason, Religion, and Autonomy Carlos Fraenkel McGill University, Montréal

This book argues that for many pagan, Jewish, Christian and Muslim philosophers there was no meaningful distinction between philosophy and religion until the Enlightenment. It also offers a new interpretation of Spinoza’s take on religion that reveals the extent to which it is rooted in medieval Muslim and Jewish philosophy. ‘In this brilliant and original book, Carlos Fraenkel introduces us to a new strand in the history of both religious and philosophical thought: the idea of a philosophical religion, where reason and religion coincide. Fraenkel leads the reader through the history of philosophical religion, from Plato, through late ancient Judaism and Christianity, through Islam to Spinoza and beyond, transforming our conception of both religion and philosophy.’ Daniel Garber, Princeton University 2014 229 x 152 mm 358pp 978-1-107-43737-1 Paperback £18.99 / US$32.99 Also available 978-0-521-19457-0 Hardback £59.99 / US$104.99 For all formats available, see

A History of Modern Aesthetics Paul Guyer Brown University, Rhode Island

A History of Modern Aesthetics narrates the history of philosophical aesthetics from the beginning of the eighteenth century through the twentieth century. Aesthetics began with Aristotle’s defense of the cognitive value of tragedy in response to Plato’s famous attack on the arts in The Republic, and cognitivist accounts of aesthetic experience have been central to the field ever since. But in the eighteenth century, two new ideas were introduced: that aesthetic experience is important because of emotional impact – precisely what Plato criticized – and because it is a pleasurable free play of many or all of our mental powers. This book tells how these ideas have been synthesized or separated by both the best-known and lesser-known aestheticians of modern times, focusing on Britain, France and Germany in the eighteenth century; Germany and Britain in the nineteenth;

and Germany, Britain and the United States in the twentieth. ‘In this splendid study, Paul Guyer knits together the controversies of the eighteenth century, placing in dialogue the influential theorists – some famous, some forgotten – of Britain, France, and Germany. Not only is this a work of stunning historical scholarship, it is also a compelling and distinctive analysis of the complex character of modern aesthetics.’ Carolyn Korsmeyer, University at Buffalo, State University of New York 2014 228 x 152 mm 1752pp 978-1-107-64322-2 3 Volume Hardback Set £195.00 / US$335.00 For all formats available, see

Understanding Moral Obligation Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard Robert Stern University of Sheffield

This book traces the development of theories of moral obligation of three key philosophers, showing how each tries to deal with the tension between obligation and autonomy. Of interest to those concerned with the history of modern ethics and the interaction of historical debate to constructivism and moral realism. ‘In his thoroughly researched and tightly argued new book, Robert Stern proposes that the ‘standard story’ of Kant as an ethical constructivist – in particular, the idea that Kant rejected value realism as a threat to autonomy – is seriously misleading … Stern’s book is a model of how systematic philosophy can be fruitfully pursued in dialogue with historical sources without doing violence to the historical particularity of those sources.’ Philosophy in Review

A Greek Text and Annotated Translation Edited and translated by Andrew Barker

Theory and Practice in Aristotle’s Natural Science

University of Birmingham

Porphyry’s Commentary, the only surviving ancient commentary on a technical text, is not merely a study of Ptolemy’s Harmonics. It includes virtually free-standing philosophical essays on epistemology, metaphysics, scientific methodology, aspects of the Aristotelian categories and the relations between Aristotle’s views and Plato’s, and a host of briefer comments on other matters of wide philosophical interest. For musicologists it is widely recognised as a treasury of quotations from earlier treatises, many of them otherwise unknown; but Porphyry’s own reflections on musical concepts (for instance notes, intervals and their relation to ratios, quantitative and qualitative conceptions of pitch, the continuous and discontinuous forms of vocal movement, and so on) and his snapshots of contemporary music-making have been undeservedly neglected.

What Would Socrates Do? Self-Examination, Civic Engagement, and the Politics of Philosophy Joel Alden Schlosser Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania

What Would Socrates Do? speaks to contemporary concerns with democratic citizenship, civic engagement, and political education. The main purposes of the book are twofold: first, to challenge the received opinion about Socrates by showing how his activities in democratic Athens involved productively challenging the extant political consensus; and second, to imagine alternative forms

of political engagement inspired by Socrates. ‘Drawing on Plato, Aristophanes, and Xenophon, What Would Socrates Do? reconstructs Socrates’ philosophy alongside and against Athens’s late fifth-century political culture. Sensitive to text and context, it brings to light the ways in which Socrates’ engagements with foreigners, women, slaves, and citizens alike challenged the exclusions of Athens’s democratic ideology and transformed Athenian practices of accountability, free speech, and freedom in the direction of more democracy. [This book] develops ‘a philosophy that lives in the people who practice it together’ as a mode of civic engagement that is no less relevant for contemporary democratic culture than it was for fifth-century Athens.’ Jill Frank, University of South Carolina 2014 228 x 152 mm 212pp 978-1-107-06742-4 Hardback £55.00 / US$90.00 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge History of Medieval Philosophy Second edition Edited by Robert Pasnau University of Colorado Boulder

Edited in association with Christina van Dyke Calvin College, Michigan

The Cambridge History of Medieval Philosophy comprises over fifty specially commissioned essays by experts on the philosophy of this period. Starting in the late eighth century, with the renewal of learning some centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire, a sequence of chapters takes the reader through developments in many and varied fields, including logic and language, natural philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, and theology. Close attention is paid to the context of medieval philosophy, with discussions of the rise of the universities and developments in the cultural and linguistic spheres. A striking feature is the continuous coverage of Islamic, Jewish, and Christian material. There are useful biographies of the philosophers, and a comprehensive bibliography. The volumes illuminate a rich and remarkable period in the history of philosophy and will be the authoritative source on medieval philosophy for the next generation of scholars and students alike.

Early modern philosophy / Eighteenth-century philosophy Representing Space in the Scientific Revolution David Marshall Miller Iowa State University

Using an integrated historical and philosophical approach, this book explores the origin of modern physics in Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, and others. It analyzes representations of space in the scientific revolution, and will be essential reading for scholars and students of the history and philosophy of science. ‘In this exciting new study, Miller argues that the Scientific Revolution depended crucially on the adoption of an oriented representation of space, privileging parallel lines instead of centers. From this novel perspective he throws fresh light on the disparate contributions of Averroës, Gilbert, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Fermat, Roberval, Hooke and Newton. Highly recommended for all those with an interest in the birth of modern cosmology.’ Richard T. W.

Kant’s Empirical Psychology Patrick R. Frierson Whitman College, Washington

This book examines the under-explored topic of Kant’s empirical psychology. Frierson shows how Kant’s ideas can be applied throughout his philosophy and to contemporary philosophical issues, making this book of interest to students and scholars of Kant, the history of psychology, philosophy of psychology, and philosophy of action. ‘With this lucid explanation and analysis of Kant’s empirical psychology, Patrick Frierson makes a major contribution to Kant scholarship. Up till now, the general lack of familiarity with this aspect of Kant’s philosophy has led many to conflate his moral theory and his empirical psychology, which in turn has produced many misguided objections and caricatures. Frierson’s clear and balanced discussion enables readers to gain a deeper understanding of Kant’s empirical account of human cognition and action, and to situate it properly in its broader philosophical context.’ Pauline Kleingeld, University of Groningen

Rousseau’s Critique of Inequality Reconstructing the Second Discourse Frederick Neuhouser Columbia University, New York

This book gives readers at all levels access to a vastly influential text of modern philosophy, Rousseau’s Second Discourse. Neuhouser evaluates and reconstructs Rousseau’s arguments on why economic inequalities are so common in society and the dangers they pose to human well-being: unhappiness, loss of freedom, immorality, conflict and alienation. ‘For two decades now Frederick Neuhouser has been one of the most brilliant philosophical readers of Rousseau that we have, and his new book offers a masterly reconstruction of the central argument of the Second Discourse. Solid in exposition, tightly argued throughout, and compelling in the details, Neuhouser shows clearly – as so much of the scholarship does not – just what Rousseau’s answers in fact were to the two questions he set himself to answer: what is the origin of human inequality, and does it have its foundations in the natural law?’ Christopher Brooke, University of Bristol 2014 228 x 152 mm 245pp 978-1-107-06474-4 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 For all formats available, see

Kant’s Observations and Remarks A Critical Guide Edited by Susan Meld Shell Boston College, Massachusetts

and Richard Velkley Tulane University, Louisiana

Kant’s Observations of 1764 and Remarks of 1764–5 (a set of fragments written in the margins of his copy of the Observations) document a crucial turning point in his life and thought. Both reveal the growing importance for him of ethics, anthropology and politics, but with an important difference. The Observations attempts to observe human nature directly. The Remarks, by contrast, reveals a revolution in Kant’s thinking, largely inspired by Rousseau, who ‘turned him around’ by disclosing to Kant the idea of a ‘state of freedom’ (modelled on the state of nature) as a touchstone for his thinking. This and related thoughts anticipate such famous later doctrines as the categorical imperative. This collection of essays by leading Kant scholars illuminates the many and varied topics within these two rich works, including the emerging relations between theory and practice, ethics and anthropology, men and

Interpreting Schelling New in Paperback

Kierkegaard and the Problem of Self-Love John Lippitt University of Hertfordshire

This book shows the relevance of a Kierkegaard-inspired account of what it means to love oneself properly to such topics as friendship, romantic love, trust, forgiveness and pride. It will be of interest to scholars and students of Kierkegaard and those interested in philosophical and theological ethics and moral psychology. ‘This is the most important book on Kierkegaard and love to appear since Jamie Ferreira’s classic Love’s Grateful Striving; in particular, it offers the most detailed treatment available on the notion of proper self-love in Works of Love. This work also brings Kierkegaard directly into current debates in moral psychology regarding love for particular others such as family and friends, and their relation to forms of self-love. The discussions of forgiveness, including self-forgiveness and self-respect, are especially rewarding. Lippitt writes clearly and his analyses will be accessible to readers without a prior speciality in Kierkegaard, including anyone interested in theories of love and various forms of love in their own right – and especially in theological contexts.’

Benjamin Rutter

Hegel’s farseeing suggestion that art reaches its ‘end’ in modernity resonates powerfully today. Drawing on unpublished lectures, Rutter recasts received views of Hegel’s position, demonstrating the subtlety and relevance of his responses to Dutch painting and Romantic poetry and arguing, finally, for Hegel’s importance as a philosopher of modern life. ‘Until now, there has been no systematic book that elucidates Hegel’s detailed accounts of exactly how works in the various media of art present freedom sensuously.

‘Andrea Staiti’s book presents an account of Husserl’s thought that does full justice to the richness of his contribution to the philosophical elucidation of life, nature, the cultural world, and history.

His wide-ranging treatment of kinds in the special sciences is especially noteworthy. Moreover, the book is so well written that it works well as an introduction to this difficult topic area as well as providing plenty of stimulation for seasoned professionals. It will surely be at the center of future discussion among scientific philosophers and philosophical scientists.’

Harvard Law School, Massachusetts

Cosmology is in crisis. The more we discover, the more puzzling the universe appears to be. How and why are the laws of nature what they are? A philosopher and a physicist, worldrenowned for their radical ideas in their fields, argue for a revolution. To keep cosmology scientific, we must replace the old view in which the universe is governed by immutable laws by a new one in which laws evolve. Then we can hope to explain them. The revolution that Roberto Mangabeira Unger and Lee Smolin propose relies on three central ideas. There is only one universe at a time. Time is real: everything in the structure and regularities of nature changes sooner or later. Mathematics, which has trouble with time, is not the oracle of nature and the prophet of science; it is simply a tool with great power and immense limitations. The argument is readily accessible to nonscientists as well as to the physicists and cosmologists whom it challenges. ‘It might be one of the most important books of our time … Right or wrong, this book is an event.’ Bryan Appleyard, The Sunday Times 2015 228 x 152 mm 566pp 978-1-107-07406-4 Hardback £19.99 / US$29.99 For all formats available, see

Addressing fundamental problems in physics, this book provides a philosophical perspective to statistical mechanics. Mathematical treatments are avoided and instead newly developed conceptual tools are used. This is a fascinating book for graduate students and researchers interested in the foundations and philosophy of physics. ‘The Road to Maxwell’s Demon is an exceptionally clear and readable book, intended for readers without physics or philosophy backgrounds. It is also a highly original and important contribution to the foundations of physics. It goes against much of the received wisdom and offers novel solutions to many problems: among them, discussions of time asymmetry in classical mechanics, an empiricist alternative to typicality, a criticism of the role of ergodicity, the notion of a physical observer and the irrelevance of information theory to the foundations of statistical mechanics. Readers interested in the foundations of physics will welcome such a fresh outlook on these topics.’ Amit Hagar, Metascience 2014 229 x 152 mm 340pp 105 b/w illus. 978-1-107-42432-6 Paperback £40.00 / US$65.00 Also available 978-1-107-01968-3 Hardback £74.99 / US$104.99 For all formats available, see

Michael Ruse offers a new analysis of the often troubled relationship between science and religion. Arguing against both extremes – in one corner, the New

Philosophy of science Atheists; in the other, the Creationists and their offspring the Intelligent Designers – he asserts that science is the highest source of human inquiry. Yet, by its very nature and its deep reliance on metaphor, science restricts itself and is unable to answer basic, significant questions about the meaning of the universe and humankind’s place within it: why is there something rather than nothing? What is the meaning of it all? Ruse shows that one can legitimately be a skeptic about these questions, and yet why it is open for a Christian, or member of any faith, to offer answers. Scientists, he concludes, should be proud of their achievements but modest about their scope. Christians should be confident of their mission but respectful of the successes of science. ‘Michael Ruse has written an insightful and accessible book belonging to the genre of rapprochements between science and religion. Ruse is not only a leading philosopher of science but also an exemplary popular writer whose style is sophisticated and lucid, but not dry.’ Science and Education 2014 228 x 152 mm 269pp 14 b/w illus. 978-1-107-68181-1 Paperback £15.99 / US$22.99 Also available 978-0-521-75594-8 Hardback £23.99 / US$39.99 For all formats available, see

Logic / Philosophy of mind and language Burden of Proof, Presumption and Argumentation Douglas Walton University of Windsor, Ontario

The notion of burden of proof and its companion notion of presumption are central to argumentation studies. This book argues that we can learn a lot from how the courts have developed procedures over the years for allocating and reasoning with presumptions and burdens of proof, and from how artificial intelligence has built precise formal and computational systems to represent this kind of reasoning. ‘Douglas Walton has done it again. This important and timely book should be read by everyone concerned with the health and state of argumentation in a world that seems devoid of reasoning.’ Ian I.

Evidence Matters Science, Proof, and Truth in the Law Susan Haack University of Miami

With her characteristic clarity and verve, Susan Haack brings her original and distinctive work in theory of knowledge and philosophy of science to bear on real-life legal issues. She includes analyses of a variety of cases and summaries of relevant scientific work, of the many roles of the scientific peer-review system, and of relevant legal developments. ‘There is tremendous confusion in both law and science (including especially epidemiology) about the proper role of scientific evidence and interpretation of standards of proof in the law. No one has come close to the insight and understanding that should be crystal clear to anyone who reads this perfectly organized collection of essays. Haack alone delves into the historical development of the current confusion and brings her deep understanding of law and philosophy to mark the way out of the confusion. I hope that a copy will be sent to every justice on the US Supreme Court.’ Richard W. Wright, Distinguished Professor of Law, IIT Chicago-Kent, College of Law Law in Context

Ethics A Darkling Plain Stories of Conflict and Humanity during War Kristen Renwick Monroe University of California, Irvine

With Chloe Lampros-Monroe University of California, Irvine

and Jonah Robnett Pellecchia University of California, Irvine

What helps people maintain their humanity during wars? Despite its obvious importance, this question remarkably remains overlooked by scholars. Studying what helps people survive wartime trauma is an extremely valuable, if not an urgent enterprise. Advance praise: ‘A Darkling Plain: Stories of Conflict and Humanity during War provides a fresh interdisciplinary perspective to address an important understudied studied topic: how do individuals maintain their humanity in war and its aftermath? This is one of those rare non-fiction books that is hard to put aside once you start reading it. In spite of the harrowing nature of the wartime stories of suffering that are described in first-person accounts, this material is also rich in conveying courage, emotional connectedness, and personal growth and healing. Moreover, A Darkling Plain uses these poignant interviews as well as drawing from others to test a variety of theories about resilience in the face of suffering – theories ranging from the situational/environmental, to the existential/psychoanalytic, and to the literature on post-traumatic stress disorder. There is much in A Darkling Plain to stimulate further thinking and insight about this understudied topic of resilience and humanity in war.’ Cheryl Koopman, Stanford University 2015 228 x 152 mm 296pp 978-1-107-03499-0 Hardback £50.00 / US$80.00 978-1-107-69017-2 Paperback £18.99 / US$28.99 Publication February 2015 For all formats available, see

Practicing Medicine and Ethics Integrating Wisdom, Conscience, and Goals of Care Lauris Christopher Kaldjian University of Iowa

This book explores medicine, ethics, and the challenge of moral diversity in health care, looking at how a health professional’s moral beliefs influence the care they provide. The book culminates in a framework for practical wisdom in medicine that reflects the importance of integration, moral dialogue, humility, and professionals’ obligations. ‘Both our shared political discourse and the day-to-day encounters between physicians and their patients are characterized by complex questions about the place of conscience in medicine. Lauris Kaldjian, trained as both physician and ethicist, offers a way to think through these difficulties by focusing on medicine as a practice shaped by its goals and marked by important virtues. Both patients and physicians can find here help for thinking in moral terms about the encounters they share.’ Gilbert Meilaender, Valparaiso University

Ethics and the Global Financial Crisis Why Incompetence is Worse than Greed Boudewijn de Bruin Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands

This topical book examines the ethical ‘blind spots’ that lay at the heart of the global financial crisis. Using concrete examples and case studies, the author develops a novel theory of epistemic virtue through which he examines the decision making of key stakeholders – the banks, their clients, rating agencies, and regulators. ‘The witty aphorism, ‘never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity’, suggests that malice and stupidity are distinct, that ethics and knowledge are two separate aspects of decision making. But what if they are closely connected? The author of this original and insightful book, Boudewijn de Bruin, brings together classical ethical theory, recent psychological research, and a deep understanding of modern financial practice to offer a prescription for reforming our troubled financial system that focuses on the character of decision makers. The provocative idea that the act of knowing has a moral dimension and carries with it moral responsibility provides a novel and fruitful approach to much-needed financial reform.’ John Boatright, Raymond C.

This book argues that Zionism is only a coherent political stance when it is intelligently rooted in Judaism, especially in the classical Jewish doctrine of God’s election of the people of Israel and the commandment to them to settle the land of Israel. Advance praise: ‘Anyone who is serious about the idea that God gave Israel the Torah and the land of Israel must read this book by today’s doyen of Jewish philosophical theology. Those who study it will learn immensely from David Novak’s lifetime of learning, and those who differ with his conclusions, or his premises, will be challenged to see if they can do better in addressing one of the great questions facing Judaism today: how the modern state of Israel can thrive as a Jewish, democratic state at peace with its neighbors, its living heritage and itself.’ Lenn E.

Commentary on Thomas Aquinas’ Treatise on Law J. Budziszewski University of Texas, Austin

Thomas Aquinas shows how the foundations of law and ethics are rooted in God’s creational design, reflected in man’s nature, and implemented by wise legislators. J. Budziszewski’s commentary on the Treatise is written in luminously clear prose and should attract anyone interested in politics, jurisprudence, ethical controversies, or interreligious dialogue. Advance praise: ‘In this much-needed contribution to the lively debates that currently rage about natural law theory, Budziszewski provides a superb lineby-line commentary on the complete text of Aquinas’ treatise on law – the first complete commentary of this sort in centuries.

In doing so, he harks back to a preMarxist conception of ‘socialism’, finessing a narrow focus on stateowned enterprise. This debate – the real debate – over socialism is as old

Compulsory Voting For and Against Jason Brennan Georgetown University, Washington DC

and Lisa Hill University of Adelaide

Two leading political theorists debate whether compulsory voting is the solution to the decline in overall voter turnout. Jason Brennan argues that compulsory voting will not only fail to make governments more responsive to the needs of the disadvantaged, but that it might actually harm them. Lisa Hill argues that compulsory voting makes the political system more democratic. ‘The frustrating thing about arguments over citizenship in democracies is that everyone is right, meaning that everyone is also wrong. There are powerful arguments in favor of asking citizens to act on a moral obligation to become informed, so as to move toward an ideal world. In that view, argued ably here by Jason Brennan, anyone who fails to become informed should voluntarily abstain. Lisa Hill argues that Brennan has it backwards: ‘good’ elections are not the result of an informed citizenry. Rather, a broadly accepted electoral process, legitimated by universal participation, is what creates an informed citizenry. Who is right? An extraordinary and very fair-minded treatment of significant issues in democracy around the world.’ Michael Munger, Duke University 2014 228 x 152 mm 240pp 978-1-107-04151-6 Hardback £55.00 / US$85.00 978-1-107-61392-8 Paperback £18.99 / US$29.99 For all formats available, see

Renée Jeffery examines the role played by the emotions in making moral judgments and motivating ethical actions. Focusing on the problem of world poverty, she draws on the work of eighteenth-century moral sentiment theorists and recent advances in the neurosciences to develop an original account of international ethics. ‘This innovative book establishes the foundation for what could be called ‘sentimentalist cosmopolitanism’. Challenging the rationalist assumptions that underpin much of cosmopolitan thought, Renée Jeffery convincingly argues that reason and

The Democratic Horizon Hyperpluralism and the Renewal of Political Liberalism Alessandro Ferrara Università degli Studi di Roma ‘Tor Vergata’

Alessandro Ferrara explains what he terms ‘the democratic horizon’ – the idea that democracy is no longer simply one form of government among others, but is instead almost universally regarded as the only legitimate form of government, the horizon to which most of us look. ‘A major contribution to contemporary political philosophy, which analyzes the pitfalls and promises of liberal democracies by emphasizing the spirit of democracy and imaginative openness. Alessandro Ferrara develops a set of innovative categories such as hyperpluralism, conjectural strategies, and the multivariate democratic polity to offer solutions to present quandaries.’ Seyla Benhabib, Eugene Meyer Professor of Political Science and Philosophy, Yale University 2014 228 x 152 mm 251pp 978-1-107-03551-5 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 For all formats available, see

Burdens of Political Responsibility Narrative and The Cultivation of Responsiveness Jade Larissa Schiff Oberlin College, Ohio

Burdens of Political Responsibility addresses our experiences of political responsibility. It explains how and why we try to flee responsibility, and how we might embrace it. The book engages seriously with phenomenology, the philosophy of literature, literary criticism, and sociology. ‘In Burdens of Political Responsibility, Jade Schiff has many stories to tell – of engagement and disengagement, bad faith and good, power and powerlessness, the meaning of identity, and the claims that our specific identities make upon us. This is a nuanced, careful, and deeply felt exploration into the relationship between the ordinary and extraordinary experiences of life in a world that too often frustrates our desires to act in responsible ways. Yet Schiff is not frustrated. She instead acts as a steady and encouraging voice for new ways of facing power and connecting with others.’ Thomas Dumm, Amherst College

Religious Pluralism and Values in the Public Sphere Lenn E. Goodman Vanderbilt University, Tennessee

Does tolerance require us to deny our deep differences or give up claims to truth, to trade our received traditions for skepticism or relativism? Cultural philosopher Lenn E. Goodman argues that we can respect one another and learn from one another’s ways without

either sharing them or relinquishing our own. ‘Lenn Goodman invites us to consider – through insight, suggestion, and example – how mature, thoughtful pluralists would decide about matters of public policy, human rights, and humanitarian intervention. While he does not scant highly empirical, topical political discussions, he traces the values that inform such current discussions down to their philosophical foundations. In this way, Goodman’s book is a unique contribution to the literature on pluralism. It is written in an inimitable literary style; its prose is resonant with rich descriptions, vivid examples, evocative commentaries on texts from several religious traditions, lucidly argued moral suasion, and careful scholarly criticism.’ Alan Mittleman, The Jewish Theological Seminary 2014 216 x 138 mm 227pp 978-1-107-05213-0 Hardback £50.00 / US$80.00 978-1-107-65805-9 Paperback £18.99 / US$28.99 For all formats available, see

The Deepening Darkness Patriarchy, Resistance, and Democracy’s Future Carol Gilligan New York University

and David A. J. Richards New York University

Why is America again unjustly at war? Why is its politics distorted by wedge issues like abortion and gay marriage? Why is anti-Semitism still so powerfully resurgent? Such contradictions within democracies arise from a patriarchal psychology still alive in our personal and political lives in tension with the equal voice that is the basis of democracy. This book joins a psychological approach with a political-theoretical one that traces both this psychology (based on loss in intimate life) and resistance to it (based on the love of equals) to the Roman Republic and Empire and to three Latin masterpieces: Virgil’s Aeneid, Apuleius’s The Golden Ass, and Augustine’s Confessions. In addition, this book explains many other aspects of our present situation including why movements of ethical resistance are often accompanied by a freeing of sexuality and why we are witnessing an

Rousseau’s Social Contract An Introduction David Lay Williams DePaul University, Chicago

Rousseau’s Social Contract: An Introduction offers a thorough and systematic tour of this notoriously paradoxical and challenging text. ‘David Lay Williams’ splendid new commentary on Rousseau’s greatest contribution to political philosophy will rapidly become the ‘standard’ work on this subject. In The Social Contract Rousseau formulates his most famous idea, ‘the general will’, and Williams throws more light on this difficult notion than any scholar in the past half-century. This is a truly remarkable book.’ Patrick Riley, author of The General Will before Rousseau

David Luban is one of the leading US voices in the torture debate. This volume brings together his most important writings on torture and executive power and includes two new essays which analyze what torture is and discuss the Obama administration’s failure to hold torturers accountable. ‘David Luban has written … an extraordinarily compelling set of philosophical, legal (and simply human) reflections on what has unfortunately become a defining issue – torture. He raises crucial questions not only about the role of lawyers in legitimizing indefensible practices, but also about broader aspects of moral argument, especially the common practice of relying on ‘extreme cases’ and ‘brainteasers’ as alternatives to confronting more mundane (and horrific) realities. The book therefore promises to be important even after that happy day when torture has indeed been eliminated from the world.’ Sanford Levinson, University of Texas, Austin

In this follow up to I Was Wrong: The Meanings of Apologies, Nick Smith expands his ambitious theories of categorical apologies to civil and criminal law. This book explains that penitentiaries were originally designed to bring about penance – something like apology – and this has been lost in the assembly line of mass incarceration. ‘In I was Wrong, Nick Smith provided a unique and richly complex introduction to the world of apologies. Now, in this engaging follow up, Justice through Apologies, he has extended his analysis into their use in criminal and civil law. A feature of his earlier book – wonderful illustrations and endless provocative questions – graces the present one, challenging glibness and ensuring that his work will remain a go-to resource for those who, like Smith, are both impressed by the moral power of apologies but troubled by their performative exploitation.’ John Kleinig, Emeritus, John Jay College of Criminal Justice 2014 228 x 152 mm 413pp 978-1-107-00754-3 Hardback £55.00 / US$90.00 978-0-521-18945-3 Paperback £19.99 / US$32.99 For all formats available, see

When and why do we derive pleasure from other people’s misfortune? This book provides a comprehensive summary of current theoretical and empirical work on schadenfreude from psychological, philosophical and other scientific perspectives. It increases our understanding of the nature of this emotion and the role it plays in social relations. ‘While the Germanic language is hardly the lingua franca of the modern world, the word ‘schadenfreude’ has become global coinage. This new international collection is a fascinating multidisciplinary exploration of an extremely problematic emotion – the pleasure at another’s suffering – in a wide array of social contexts. It should be essential reading for social psychologists and those working in ethics where concerns of status, envy and justice render schadenfreude a widely felt emotion.’ M. J.

Philosophy of Religion Towards a More Humane Approach John Cottingham University of Reading and Heythrop College, University of London

John Cottingham’s Philosophy of Religion shows how fruitful discussion of the philosophy of religion is not just about abstract intellectual argument; it also impinges on aspects of ordinary human experience. Cottingham covers the main topics of the subject, including the meaning of religious claims, the existence of God and the relation between religion and morality, as well as the role of religious spirituality. ‘This insightful and beautifully clear book shows us how to think philosophically about religion – not just religious beliefs but also the habits, practices and transformations that constitute religious life. Cottingham combines careful, rigorous analysis and exemplary scholarship with rare sensitivity to the spiritual questions which animate the philosophy of religion but are too often obscured by it. Everyone interested in the philosophy of religion needs to read this elegant, compelling book.’ Clare Carlisle, King’s College London Cambridge Studies in Religion, Philosophy, and Society

Does science have limits? Where does order come from? Can we understand consciousness? Written by Nobel Laureate Leon N. Cooper, this book places pressing scientific questions in the broader context of how they relate to human experience. Widely considered to be a highly original thinker, Cooper has written and given talks on a large variety of subjects, ranging from the relationship between art and science,

possible limits of science, to the relevance of the Turing test. These essays and talks have been brought together for the first time in this fascinating book, giving readers an opportunity to experience Cooper’s unique perspective on a range of subjects. Tackling a diverse spectrum of topics, from the conflict of faith and science to whether understanding neural networks could lead to machines that think like humans, this book will captivate anyone interested in the interaction of science with society. ‘As a scientist and a humanist, Cooper is well-versed in philosophy, literature, art, and the practicalities of making science serve humanity, as opposed to being in thrall to special interests. His intellectual open-mindedness and compelling prose style make Science and Human Experience a thoughtprovoking pleasure to read.’ Peter Byrne, author of The Many Worlds of Hugh Everett III: Multiple Universes, Mutual Assured Destruction, and the Meltdown of a Nuclear Family

Open Access and the Humanities Contexts, Controversies and the Future Martin Paul Eve University of Lincoln

Open Access and the Humanities is essential reading for all who work in the humanities. It gives a clear summary of the histories of open, online access to research, the specific challenges and benefits to the humanities, and the controversies that have raged about scholarly communication in a digital age.
