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. 2014 228 x 152 mm 1752pp 978-1-107-64322-2 3 Volume Hardback Set £195.00 Publication March 2014 For all formats available, see

German Idealism is arguably the most influential force in philosophy over the past two hundred years. This major fourvolume work is the first comprehensive survey of its impact on science, religion, sociology and the humanities, and brings together fifty-two leading scholars from across Europe and North America. Each essay discusses an idea or theme from Kant, Hegel, Schelling, Fichte, or another key figure, shows how this influenced a thinker or field of study in the subsequent two centuries, and how that influence is felt in contemporary thought. Crossing established scholarly divides, the volumes deal with fields as

Key Reference The Legacy of Post-Kantian German Thought Edited by Nicholas Boyle

‘The Impact of Idealism is a monumental achievement, a bold attempt to fathom the legacy of German idealism in every sphere of culture. The extent and the depth of the enterprise, in its four volumes, is staggering. Nothing like it has been done before, and it is unlikely that anything like it will ever be attempted again. It is the product of an impressive array of scholars, virtually everyone who is anyone in the field. It is sure to be the standard work on the subject. Anyone whose work touches on German idealism, which is almost all of us, will need to read it.’

From British Idealism to phenomenology, existentialism, pragmatism and French postmodernism, the story of German Idealism’s impact on philosophy is here interwoven with man’s scientific journey of self-discovery in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – from Darwin to Nietzsche to Freud and beyond. Spanning the analytical and Continental divide, this first volume examines Idealism’s impact on contemporary philosophical discussions.

Compromise A Political and Philosophical History Alin Fumurescu Tulane University, Louisiana

This book offers a conceptual history of compromise. Fumurescu combines contextual historical analysis of daily parlance and a survey of the usage of the word from the end of the sixteenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth century in both French and English. ‘In this bold, scrupulous, and wholly original work of political theory, Alin Fumurescu undertakes a genealogy of this crucial but frequently maligned concept. In a fascinating reconstruction of the etymology of compromise, Fumurescu traces the roots of our ambivalence to the early modern world, when a largely positive English view that regards compromise as a healthy attribute of liberal politics diverged sharply from the French contempt for compromise as a betrayal of our innermost conscience. The author moves effortlessly from Athens and Rome to early modern Europe and beyond, connecting back up with today’s philosophical discussions of compromise. By tracing clear lines of influence between early modern intellectual history and our contemporary political tribulations, the author succeeds where many works of political theory fall short. Fumurescu’s insights will be of interest to historians, philosophers, political theorists, and policy makers alike.’ Richard Boyd, Georgetown University 2013 228 x 152 mm 305pp 978-1-107-02943-9 Hardback £60.00 For all formats available, see

Structure and Method in Aristotle’s Meteorologica A More Disorderly Nature Malcolm Wilson

A History of Pythagoreanism

University of Oregon

Edited by Carl A. Huffman DePauw University, Indiana

This is a comprehensive, authoritative and innovative account of Pythagoras and Pythagoreanism, one of the most enigmatic and influential philosophies in the West. In twenty-one chapters covering a timespan from the sixth century BC to the seventeenth century AD, leading scholars construct a number of different images of Pythagoras and his community, assessing current scholarship and offering new answers to central problems. Chapters are devoted to the early Pythagoreans, and the full breadth of Pythagorean thought is explored including politics, religion, music theory, science, mathematics and magic. Separate chapters consider Pythagoreanism in Plato, Aristotle, the Peripatetics and the later Academic tradition, while others describe Pythagoreanism in the historical tradition, in Rome and in the pseudoPythagorean writings. The three great lives of Pythagoras by Diogenes Laertius, Porphyry and Iamblichus are also discussed in detail, as is the significance of Pythagoras for the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

Offers scholars of Greek literature new evidence of Aristophanes’ polemical use of philosophy in poetic competition; ancient philosophers new evidence of the popular reception of Parmenides; and scholars in theatre studies new evidence that explicit theorizing about theatre begins with a comic appropriation of Eleatic ideas about reality and illusion.

Diogenes Laertius: Lives of Eminent Philosophers Edited by Tiziano Dorandi Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris

This edition presents a radically improved text of Diogenes Laertius’ Lives of Eminent Philosophers. The text is accompanied by a full critical apparatus on three levels. A lengthy introduction lists all the manuscripts of the Lives and discusses its transmission in late antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. There is also an index of personal names, a bibliography and notes covering several features of the text and its interpretation. Professor Dorandi has used the Nachlaß of Peter Von der Mühll, for the first time in its entirety, to verify and consolidate material that he had previously gathered. This is by far the most detailed and elaborate edition which Diogenes’ Lives – a unique work which has had a profound influence on European literature and philosophy – has ever received.

The essays in this volume provide a picture of the most interesting aspects of Plato’s Republic, addressing questions that continue to puzzle and provoke today. This volume will be essential to those looking for thoughtful and detailed excursions into the problems posed by Plato’s text and ideas. ‘In the past few years, the Republic’s readers have already been lucky enough to see two other fine anthologies dedicated to that dialogue … This new Critical Guide is much shorter than those, but it stands well in their company … This

volume, a collection of papers that were mostly presented at a 2008 conference, is pitched to specialists slightly more than the other anthologies are … its selections are shorter, so even the difficult chapters feel more inviting than longer versions of them would have been. Freshness is at a premium … rich assortment … a wide spectrum of issues has been updated in this excellent book.

Proclus: Commentary on Plato’s Timaeus Volume 5: Book 4 Proclus Edited and translated by Dirk Baltzly University of Tasmania

Proclus’ commentary on Plato’s dialogue Timaeus is arguably the most important commentary on a text of Plato, offering unparalleled insights into eight centuries of Platonic interpretation. It has had an enormous influence on subsequent Plato scholarship. This edition offers the first new English translation of the work for nearly two centuries, building on significant recent advances in scholarship on Neoplatonic commentators. It provides an invaluable record of early interpretations of Plato’s dialogue, while also presenting Proclus’ own views on the meaning and significance of Platonic philosophy.

A Philosophy Reader from the Circle of Miskawayh Text, Translation and Commentary Edited and translated by Elvira Wakelnig Oriental Institute, University of Vienna

This volume presents the first complete edition of Oxford, MS Marsh 539, a hitherto unpublished philosophy reader compiled anonymously in the eastern Islamic world in the eleventh century. The compilation consists of texts on metaphysics, physiology and ethics, providing excerpts from Arabic versions of Greek philosophical works (Aristotle, Plotinus, Galen) and works by Arabic authors (Qusta ibn Luqa, Farabi, Miskawayh). It preserves fragments of Greek-Arabic translations lost today, including Galen’s On My Own Opinions, the Summa Alexandrinorum, and Themistius on Aristotle’s Book Lambda. The philosophy reader provides a unique insight into philosophical activity of the place and time of the well-known philosopher Miskawayh, showing us which works had entered the mainstream and were considered necessary for philosophers to know. Elvira Wakelnig’s volume includes a new facing-page English translation and a rich commentary which identifies the source texts and examines the historical and philosophical context of each passage. 2014 247 x 174 mm 450pp 978-0-521-19361-0 Hardback £80.00 Publication February 2014 For all formats available, see

Medieval Trinitarian Thought from Aquinas to Ockham Russell L. Friedman Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

How can the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be distinct and yet identical? Russell L. Friedman provides the first survey of 100 years of scholastic discussion between Thomas Aquinas’ earliest works and William Ockham’s death, with focused studies of many of the time’s most important theologians. Review of the hardback: ‘This brilliant book uncovers a key phase in the history of Trinitarian doctrine, from ca. 1250 to 1350. It discusses a number of thinkers whose works have remained largely unknown outside of a small group of specialists, and in doing so dispels the view that there was no significant Trinitarian development after Bonaventure, Aquinas and Duns Scotus. Friedman combines outstanding scholarly knowledge of primary texts with utmost readability, revealing the extraordinary diversity, coherence, and vitality of later-medieval theology of the Trinity. This book is a marvellous achievement, and essential reading for anybody who has an interest in Trinitarian theology.’ Rik Van Nieuwenhove, University of Limerick

Early modern philosophy René Descartes: Meditations on First Philosophy With Selections from the Objections and Replies Edited by John Cottingham University of Reading

Descartes’s Meditations on First Philosophy, published in Latin in 1641, is one of the most widely studied philosophical texts of all time, and inaugurates many of the key themes that have remained central to philosophy ever since. In his original Latin text Descartes expresses himself with great lucidity and elegance, and there is enormous interest, even for those who are not fluent in Latin, in seeing how the famous concepts and arguments of his great masterpiece unfold in the original language. John Cottingham’s acclaimed English translation of the work is presented here in a facing-page edition alongside the original Latin text. Students of classical philosophy have long had the benefit of dual-language editions, and the availability of such a resource for the canonical works of the early-modern period is long overdue. This volume now makes available, in an invaluable dual-language format, one of the most seminal texts of Western philosophy. 2013 228 x 152 mm 281pp 978-0-521-19138-8 Hardback £55.00 For all formats available, see

Advance praise: ‘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 whether it has its foundations in the natural law?’ Christopher Brooke, University of Bristol 2014 228 x 152 mm 200pp 978-1-107-06474-4 Hardback c. £55.00 Publication July 2014 For all formats available, see

The essays are of wide theoretical interest and deftly address issues of interpretation along with broader normative issues arising from Kant’s Groundwork.

Nietzsche’s Naturalism Philosophy and the Life Sciences in the Nineteenth Century Christian J. Emden Rice University, Houston

Through the encounters between neo-Kantianism and the life sciences in the nineteenth century, this book explores Nietzsche’s naturalism and his understanding of normativity. Proposing specific historical reasons for Nietzsche adopting the views that he did, Emden argues that Nietzsche asked questions about naturalism and normativity that are still relevant today. Advance praise: ‘Emden manages to convey the broader historical and scientific backdrop against which Nietzsche was operating, and he offers the reader new material with which to assess Nietzsche’s thought. His work – wellwritten, accessible and meticulously researched – has an impressive command of the secondary research, and it will be considered a welcome addition to the recent arsenal of naturalist perspectives on Nietzsche.’ Dirk R.

Cartwright tells the story of Schopenhauer’s life to convey the full range of his philosophy. He offers a fully documented portrait in which he explores Schopenhauer’s fractured family life, his early formative influences, his critical loyalty to Kant, his personal interactions with Fichte and Goethe, his ambivalent relationship with Schelling, his contempt for Hegel, his struggle to make his philosophy known, and his reaction to his late-arriving fame. ‘Dozens more biographies have appeared … but David Cartwright’s is the most thorough by far.’ Times Literary Supplement 2014 229 x 152 mm 600pp 978-1-107-62695-9 Paperback £24.99 Also available 978-0-521-82598-6 Hardback £31.99 For all formats available, see

Mill and Paternalism

Providence College, Rhode Island

Gregory Claeys

Nietzsche was unusual in his close attention to the meaning and consequences of living within a continuous temporal sequence. Jensen explores Nietzsche’s thoughts about history, historicism and their impact on his work. Of interest to students and scholars of Nietzsche studies and nineteenth-century philosophy.

Royal Holloway, University of London

‘In charting the evolution of Nietzsche’s philosophy of history, Anthony Jensen is particularly effective in showing how each book (or period) builds on and deviates from its predecessors. Jensen writes very well, and he advances his narrative at an agreeably crisp pace. Deftly interspersing philosophical and historical analyses, he provides a rich and persuasive account of Nietzsche’s development as a thinker and scholar. This is commendable accomplishment – original, lucid, and likely to make a positive impact.’ Daniel Conway, Texas A&M University 2013 228 x 152 mm 246pp 978-1-107-02732-9 Hardback £55.00

Giving prominence for the first time to Mill’s abiding concern with Malthusianism and its impact on his key arguments respecting liberty, Mill and Paternalism explores Mill’s strong commitment to population control, popular education, feminism and the leading role of intellectual elites, alongside his overarching interests in both liberty and equality.

Philosophy as a Practice of the Sublime Sophia Vasalou

‘Mill’s On Liberty has been all-too successful with philosophers and political theorists in achieving his goal of writing a ‘philosophic textbook of a single truth’. In this comprehensive reassessment of Mill’s career as social and political commentator, Gregory Claeys shows how Mill’s single truth on the limits of interference in individual lives needs to be modified when the equally urgent concerns of his political economy, feminism, and interest in socialism are brought into the reckoning.’

Schopenhauer: Parerga and Paralipomena Short Philosophical Essays Volume 1 Arthur Schopenhauer Edited and translated by Sabine Roehr New Jersey City University

Edited by Christopher Janaway University of Southampton

With the publication of the Parerga and Paralipomena in 1851, there finally came some measure of the fame that Schopenhauer thought was his due. Described by Schopenhauer himself as ‘incomparably more popular than everything up till now’, the Parerga is a miscellany of essays addressing themes that complement his work The World as Will and Representation, along with more divergent, speculative pieces. It includes his ‘Aphorisms on the Wisdom of Life’, reflections on fate and clairvoyance, trenchant views on the philosophers and universities of his day, and an enlightening survey of the history of philosophy. The present volume offers a new translation, a substantial

The volume will be of great value to scholars and graduate students of Husserl and Heidegger and of twentieth-century philosophy more generally. ‘Steven Crowell’s Normativity and Phenomenology in Husserl and Heidegger is a terrific book. Read individually, the chapters offer a set of sensitive and original readings of Husserl and the early Heidegger. Taken as a whole the book gives us even more; an original argument that Heidegger, building upon and criticizing the work of Husserl, went a long way towards revealing the necessary conditions on intentionality by displaying the necessary conditions on an agent whose acts are normatively responsive and whose ‘being’ is normatively responsible.’ Mark B.

His book is a significant contribution to the growing movement towards naturalism in recent philosophy. ‘Muhammad Ali Khalidi has given us the best articulated treatment to date of a flexible, naturalistic approach to natural kinds. His wide-ranging treatment of kinds in the special sciences is especially noteworthy.

Philosophy of science / Logic of information it provides about the history of evolutionary thought makes it a crucial resource for understanding the controversies that surround evolution today. ‘… this volume contains a wealth of information about both Darwin and evolutionary thought. Editor Ruse is known in the field of science writing for his work on Darwinism, evolution, and religion. … The volume features many full-color plates of images, such as political cartoons, botanical drawings, and Darwin’s original sketches/notes. Not many similar books are available. … This new encyclopedia mostly will appeal to historians of science and those with a particular interest in the life story and impact of Darwin, though it could also serve as a primer on the basics of natural selection for undergraduates. … Recommended …’ K.

Logic 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. 2014 228 x 152 mm 200pp 52 b/w illus. 978-1-107-04662-7 Hardback c. £60.00 978-1-107-67882-8 Paperback c. £19.99 Publication June 2014 For all formats available, see

Emotive Language in Argumentation Fabrizio Macagno Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal

and Douglas Walton University of Windsor, Ontario

This book analyzes the uses of emotive language and redefinitions from a pragmatic, dialectical, epistemic and rhetorical perspective, investigating the relationship between emotions, persuasion and meaning, and focusing on the implicit dimension of the use of a word and its dialectical effects. Advance praise: ‘Very often, words have emotive meanings and present certain values and assumptions as uncontroversial, thus functioning as persuasive (and potentially manipulative) instruments of everyday argumentation. However, an in-depth study of this important and potentially dangerous property of words is still lacking. Macagno and Walton fill this gap with their brilliant and exhaustive study of the relationship between words’ meanings and emotions, values, definitions, presuppositions and dialogue commitments.’ Manfred Kienpointner, University of Innsbruck 2014 228 x 152 mm 312pp 25 tables 978-1-107-03598-0 Hardback £55.00 978-1-107-67665-7 Paperback £19.99 Publication March 2014 For all formats available, see

The Neuroscience of Freedom and Creativity Our Predictive Brain Joaquín M. Fuster University of California, Los Angeles

In a fascinating exploration of the question of free will, eminent cognitive neuroscientist, Joaquín Fuster, argues that the liberty or freedom to choose between alternatives is a function of the nervous system, especially the cerebral cortex, in its reciprocal interaction with the environment. Freedom is inseparable from that circular relationship. ‘Joaquín Fuster is a distinguished pioneer in the exploration of the brain’s prefrontal cortex, the regions we depend on for choices and selfcontrol. With subtlety, clarity, and a deep feel for the complexities of living a life, Fuster takes a fresh and insightful look [at] human choice.

His ideas are philosophically deep and biologically sensible; they are presented lucidly and with modesty and charm. A masterful accomplishment.’

Elements of Moral Cognition Rawls’ Linguistic Analogy and the Cognitive Science of Moral and Legal Judgment John Mikhail Georgetown University, Washington DC

Explores whether the science of moral cognition is usefully modelled on aspects of Noam Chomsky’s theory of Universal Grammar. Just as Chomsky argued that human beings are born with innate knowledge of grammar, so Mikhail suggests that humans might possess innate moral knowledge, and how this question can be investigated. ‘Judicious, carefully executed, and deeply informed, this valuable study builds upon the early work of John Rawls, including his now-classic Theory of Justice, identifying its core principles, persuasively defending them against critics, deepening them conceptually and developing rich empirical foundations. It thereby provides the outlines of a naturalistic theory of moral judgment and moral cognition, which may well be a common human possession. One conclusion with broad consequences is that moral cognition crucially relies on the generation of complex mental representations of actions and their components. Mikhail’s enterprise resurrects fundamental themes of traditional moral philosophy and Enlightenment rationalism, while showing how they can be cast as empirical science with far-reaching implications for political, social, and legal theory. It is a most impressive contribution.’ Noam Chomsky

The Global Body Market Altruism’s Limits Edited by Michele Goodwin University of Minnesota

This book offers a frank discussion of altruism in the global body market and chronicles exploitation in the name of altruism, including the non-consensual use of children in dangerous clinical trials. It analyzes social and legal commitments to the value of altruism, offering an important critique of the vulnerability of altruism to corruption, coercion, pressure, and other negative externalities. ‘Since the 2006 publication of her paradigm-shifting Black Markets: The Supply and Demand of Human Body Parts, Michele Goodwin has offered startling perceptions into the commercial nature of many ‘altruistic’ transactions. As editor of this nuanced but visionary volume … [she] has

gathered experts from various disciplines and stances: its writers are joined not by ideology but by their deep knowledge and an ability to keep you closely engaged through gripping case histories that read like novellas and inform like cuttingedge textbooks. Despite the authors’ differing disciplines and stances, the book retains the harmony of a quilt, although its caveats provide little of its comfort.

Ethics / Political philosophy Integrity and the Virtues of Reason Leading a Convincing Life Greg Scherkoske Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia

Many claim that integrity requires sticking to one’s convictions come what may, but Scherkoske argues that integrity relies on convictions being justifiable and probably correct. His original and surprising argument that integrity is an epistemic rather than a moral virtue is of great interest to scholars and students of ethics. 2013 228 x 152 mm 270pp 978-1-107-00067-4 Hardback £55.00 For all formats available, see

The Dimensions of Consequentialism Ethics, Equality and Risk Martin Peterson Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Holland

Consequentialism is a major theory of ethics. This book introduces a new type of consequentialist theory, according to which an act’s moral rightness depends on a number of separate dimensions, such as individual wellbeing, equality and risk. This multidimensional perspective helps articulate views about ethics in a precise, theoretical framework. 2013 228 x 152 mm 224pp 2 b/w illus. 13 tables 978-1-107-03303-0 Hardback £55.00 For all formats available, see

Virtue in Business Conversations with Aristotle Edwin M. Hartman New York University

Edwin Hartman introduces graduate students and academic researchers to the value of applying Aristotle’s virtue approach to business. He demonstrates how the virtue approach can deepen our understanding of business ethics, and how it can contribute to contemporary discussions of character, rationality, corporate culture, ethics education and global ethics. ‘The ethics of the great ethical theorists should apply to the world today including the world of business. In a comprehensive and clear explanation of Aristotle’s ethical theory Hartman shows without a doubt the relevance of Aristotle’s ethical theory to business.’ Norman E. Bowie, Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota

Continuous Sedation at the End of Life Ethical, Clinical and Legal Perspectives Edited by Sigrid Sterckx Universiteit Gent, Belgium

Kasper Raus Universiteit Gent, Belgium

and Freddy Mortier Universiteit Gent, Belgium

Continuous sedation is becoming increasingly common in end-of-life care. It raises many concerns, though, especially regarding reducing or removing consciousness, withholding hydration and whether it amounts to ‘slow euthanasia’. In this book, ethicists, clinicians and lawyers address these concerns and discuss various justifications and guidelines for the practice. ‘Continuous Sedation at the End of Life offers a thorough and thoughtful analysis of a complex and vexing issue. It successfully spans disciplines and jurisdictions as it provides clinical

and epidemiological evidence about – and legal and ethical analyses of – a practice that is in real need of careful attention. By helping us to see that continuous sedation at the end of life needs to be (and how it can be) better understood, monitored, and regulated, this book has the potential to meaningfully contribute to the improvement of care of the dying across the globe.’ Jocelyn Downie, Dalhousie University Cambridge Bioethics and Law

Locke, Science and Politics Steven Forde University of North Texas

In the first study of its kind, Steven Forde argues that John Locke’s devotion to modern science deeply shaped his moral and political philosophy. This approach not only modified Locke’s individualism but also colored his philosophy of property, politics and education. ‘Steven Forde’s Locke, Science, and Politics makes a sparkling contribution to the ever-expanding universe of Locke studies. Forde draws upon his deep learning in political philosophy to produce a finely crafted argument that the core of Locke’s moral and political philosophy is not the

Political philosophy grasping and callous individualism that critics persistently imagine, but instead a complex teaching of natural law in which a concern for individual natural rights complements a morality of sociability and service. Written with uncommon elegance and lucidity, the book deserves a wide readership.’

With careful and engaging arguments, Sorell develops a ‘sober’ Hobbesianism that supports a liberal Leviathan and a ‘thin’ conception of security for international politics, enabling it to speak to some of the most pressing real-world emergencies we presently face.

Antigone, Interrupted Bonnie Honig Northwestern University, Illinois

Antigone, Interrupted explores the intertwined history of law, politics, gender and humanism through a new reading of Sophocles’ classical tragedy. Studying the play in its fifth-century and modern contexts, Bonnie Honig argues for an Antigone committed not just to dissidence but to a positive politics of counter-sovereignty and solidarity. ‘Honig’s sweeping consideration of how the ‘Antigone’ is read and misread offers us a new way to approach the pauses, the ellipses, and the frank interruptions that punctuate this classic text. We have all struggled so hard to make the words mean in this or that way that we have perhaps forgotten the more dramatic features of the text in which relationships rupture, words trail off, and events still language. This book offers a trenchant analysis of sovereignty, belonging, and freedom through a perspective at once dramatic, literary, and political. Honig’s sustained engagement with contemporary criticism shows how important the figure and text of Antigone is for any effort to think about the risks and the necessity of contestatory democratic culture.’ Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley 2013 228 x 152 mm 338pp 978-1-107-03697-0 Hardback £55.00 978-1-107-66815-7 Paperback £18.99 For all formats available, see

Friedrich Kratochwil’s book explores the key discourses surrounding the role of law in the international arena. Providing an overview of the debates in legal theory, philosophy, international law and international organizations, Kratochwil reflects on the need to break down disciplinary boundaries.

He is not just a political scientist, but a political thinker firmly based in classic as well as modern social philosophy.

This introduction to human dignity explores the history of the notion from antiquity to the nineteenth century, and the way in which dignity is conceptualised in non-Western contexts. Building on this, it addresses a range of systematic conceptualisations, considers the theoretical and legal conditions for human dignity as a useful notion and analyses a number of philosophical and conceptual approaches to dignity. Finally, the book introduces current debates, paying particular attention to the legal implementation, human rights, justice and conflicts, medicine and bioethics, and provides an explicit systematic framework for discussing human dignity. Adopting a wide range of perspectives and taking into account numerous cultures and contexts, this handbook is a valuable resource for students, scholars and professionals working in philosophy, law, history and theology.

Human Rights as Social Construction Benjamin Gregg University of Texas, Austin

Benjamin Gregg writes that human rights can be created by the average, ordinary people to whom they are addressed and that they are valid only if embraced by those to whom they would apply. To view human rights this way is to increase the chances and opportunities that more people across the globe will come to embrace them. ‘Benjamin Gregg’s book advances an idea of the local and particular that, while normatively rich, invites an openness to universal norms as well. While denying any easy answers to the moral universalist, the argument is well placed to fend off many of the familiar skeptical objections to the idea of human rights. Professor Gregg writes with urgency and clarity, and his book should be read by both cosmopolitans and their critics.’ Richard Vernon, Distinguished University Professor, University of Western Ontario 2013 229 x 152 mm 272pp 978-1-107-61294-5 Paperback £17.99 Also available 978-1-107-01593-7 Hardback £57.00 For all formats available, see

The Subject of Virtue An Anthropology of Ethics and Freedom James Laidlaw University of Cambridge

The anthropology of ethics has become an important and fast-growing field in recent years. This book argues that it represents not just a new subfield within anthropology but a conceptual renewal of the discipline as a whole. An ideal introduction for students and researchers in anthropology and related human sciences. ‘James Laidlaw’s book, which has the advantage of being elegantly written, is bound to transform the anthropological study of morality and ethics. Along the way, he helps us rethink many of our most important ideas, models and theories, including those related to practice, to relativism, to agency and – above all – to freedom.’ Charles Stafford, London School of Economics and Political Science New Departures in Anthropology

Beyond Church and State Democracy, Secularism, and Conversion Matthew Scherer George Mason University, Virginia

Secularism is often imagined in Jefferson’s words as ‘a wall of separation between Church and State’. Scherer argues secularism is a process of conversion that reshapes religion and politics. He presents a picture of what secularism is and how it can be reimagined to be more conducive to genuine democracy. ‘A brilliant contribution to the study of secularity, offering a new perspective on what has become a tired debate about political-religious separation.

The East Asian Challenge for Democracy Political Meritocracy in Comparative Perspective Edited by Daniel A. Bell Tsinghua University, Beijing

and Chenyang Li Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

This volume gathers a series of commissioned research papers from an interdisciplinary group of leading philosophers, historians, and social scientists to examine the rise (or revival) of political meritocracy and what it will mean for political developments in China and the rest of the world. ‘In theory, democracy works beautifully. In practice, it does not. Indeed, the American democratic system has effectively been hijacked by special interests through a process best described as institutionalized legal corruption. Clearly the world needs new political thinking, bringing together the best of the East and the West. This is what this volume does, reminding us that political wisdom springs from all corners of the world. It could not be more timely.

Human Evolution Genes, Genealogies and Phylogenies Graeme Finlay University of Auckland

In the past decade the human genome project and genetic sequencing of many other species have provided unambiguous genetic markers that establish our evolutionary relationships with other mammals. Human Evolution: Genes, Genealogies and Phylogenies recognises and explains these identifiable, rare and complex markers. ‘In this book Dr Finlay takes several examples to illustrate our evolutionary tree at the molecular and genomic

Also of interest level. Step by step he provides a wealth of cumulative evidence that demonstrates how our genomes are related to other primates and to our more distant biological relatives. The evidence is compelling and shows the elegant ways in which we are connected to the rest of biology. Nonetheless we are more than just intelligent apes, and Finlay is careful to emphasise that our genomes are only part of the story of what it means to be human and that we have also been shaped by historical, cultural and religious factors that may not affect our physiology and anatomy but define us a human beings.’ Keith R.

The Politics of Species Reshaping our Relationships with Other Animals Edited by Raymond Corbey Tilburg University and Leiden University

and Annette Lanjouw Arcus Foundation

Bringing together experts from a range of disciplines, this volume identifies the key barriers to a definition of moral respect that includes nonhuman animals. The chapters link scientific data with normative and philosophical reflections, offering unique insight into controversial issues around the ethical, political and legal status of other species. ‘Whereas everybody agrees that making the world a better place is a worthwhile endeavour, an open question remains: better for whom? The Politics of Species brilliantly highlights the scientific, moral and political importance of this topical question. Having done penance for their wrongs of racism, xenophobia, class hatred and sexism, Western societies need to engage in ethical reflexion about the merciless domination and exploitation they inflict on animals. In a series of fascinating case studies, leading experts from a broad range of disciplines supply such a reflexion with a rich factual and conceptual basis, linking scientific data with normative and philosophical ideas in a plea for a renewed moral vision of relationships between humans and nonhuman beings.’ Wiktor Stoczkowski, L’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales 2013 247 x 174 mm 310pp 34 b/w illus. 1 table 978-1-107-03260-6 Hardback £65.00 For all formats available, see

Individual Rights and the Making of the International System Christian Reus-Smit University of Queensland

Christian Reus-Smit argues that struggles for individual rights were deeply implicated in the development of today’s global system of sovereign states. Combining theoretical innovation with historical cases, he challenges the widespread assumption that such rights are marginal to world politics or important only after 1945. ‘Chris Reus-Smit has written a groundbreaking book. By showing that, during the last five centuries, revolutionary ideas on individual rights were at the roots of the demand for sovereignty and de-legitimation of empires, and therefore, also of the expansion of international systems and the evolution of international order, [his] theoretical and empirical tour de force, more than most books in international relations, reveals the social nature of international systems and how international orders transform.’ Emanuel Adler, Professor of Political Science and Andrea and Charles Bronfman Chair of Israeli Studies, University of Toronto 2013 228 x 152 mm 250pp 978-0-521-85777-2 Hardback £55.00 978-0-521-67448-5 Paperback £18.99 For all formats available, see

Play, Playfulness, Creativity and Innovation Patrick Bateson King’s College, Cambridge

and Paul Martin Wolfson College, Cambridge

What role does playful behaviour take in animal and human development? Unravelling the different meanings of ‘play’, this book focuses on playful and non-aggressive behaviour in both animals and humans. The authors emphasise its significance for development, before examining the importance of playfulness to creativity and, in turn, to innovation. ‘In this highly readable and thoughtprovoking book, Patrick Bateson and Paul Martin show how play helps animals to find novel solutions and sows the evolutionary seeds for human creativity. They argue that being able to ‘break the rules’ in a protected environment, which is what play does, generates new ideas (creativity) and new ways of doing things (innovation). By looking at the conditions in which humans are at

their most creative, they make a major contribution to what we might do to be even more creative than we are.’ Marian Stamp Dawkins, University of Oxford, and co-author of An Introduction to Animal Behaviour (2012) 2013 228 x 152 mm 162pp 1 b/w illus. 978-1-107-01513-5 Hardback £55.00 978-1-107-68934-3 Paperback £21.99 For all formats available, see

This volume is part of the definitive edition of letters written by and to Charles Darwin, the most celebrated naturalist of the nineteenth century. Notes and appendixes put these fascinating and wide-ranging letters in context, making the letters accessible to both scholars and general readers. Darwin depended on correspondence to collect data from all over the world and to discuss his emerging ideas with scientific colleagues, many of whom he never met in person. The letters are published chronologically: volume 20 includes letters from 1872, the year in which The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals was published, making ground-breaking use of photography. Also in this year, the sixth and final edition of On the Origin of Species was published and Darwin resumed his work on carnivorous plants and plant movement, finding unexpected similarities between the plant and animal kingdoms. ‘A mine of information.’ Times Higher Education The Correspondence of Charles Darwin
