Trout demonstrates how Peirce’s philosophy rises above his personal prejudices to provide a unique set of tools for analyzing and criticizing the nonconscious biases of those who believe that they are free from prejudice.

This splendid collection of essays, adroitly edited by Naoko Saito and Paul Standish, is the very first scholarly text to take seriously Cavell’s passion for questions of teaching and learning.

He was not a writer who merely studied social reform; he was a political activist. And he was not a writer who added a slight philosophical touch to his writings; he was a philosopher. As a book in philosophy, this collection of essays is unique.�—Daniel Dombrowsk, Seattle University 288 PAGES 978-0-8232-3930-6 CLOTH, $55.00

“Stanley Cavell grasps the joys and despairs of philosophy as the art of living, just as he knows the intricate mental beauties and confusions of philosophy as theory. At the very heart of his philosophizing resides the question of education: of who and what we are as beings juxtaposed with who and what we might wish to become. This splendid collection of essays, adroitly edited by Naoko Saito and Paul Standish, is the very first scholarly text to take seriously Cavell’s passion for questions of teaching and learning. It is a welcome addition to the philosophy and the practice of education.�—David T.

“This volume is important in that Thoreau was a complex individual whose studies were cross-disciplinary. He was not a writer who merely touched on science; he was a natural philosopher. He was not a writer who merely studied social reform; he was a political activist. And he was not a writer who added a slight philosophical touch to his writings; he was a philosopher.

ADRIAAN THEODOOR PEPERZAK “Thinking about Thinking comprises a set of meditations about the dialogical nature of philosophy and the philosophical life.

PACINI “Pacini’s book . . . illuminates an idea whose inner workings call for a rare ability to think theologically in the context of a modern philosophical narrative. The ‘religion’ in a religion of conscience defies the usual distinctions between religion and science, faith and reason, autonomy and dependence. Pacini deftly illuminates the depths of that brave new religion.�—James Wetzel, Villanova University

These perspectives have long been locked up in the Souths of the world, and in the Mediterranean in particular.�—Peter Carravetta, Stony Brook University 224 PAGES 978-0-8232-3365-6 PAPER, $26.00

Trout demonstrates how Peirce’s philosophy rises above his personal prejudices to provide a unique set of tools for analyzing and criticizing the nonconscious biases of those who believe that they are free from prejudice. The Politics of Survival is unmatched in the manner in which it makes Peirce and pragmatism relevant to recent literature on racism and sexism.�—Mitchell Aboulafia, The Juilliard School

The Other Jewish Question IDENTIFYING THE JEW AND MAKING SENSE OF MODERNITY JAY GELLER “In this elegantly crafted and stunningly erudite exposition, Jay Geller explores the ‘persistence’ of the Jew as marked by difference, at least in the imagination of others, is to be understood as an index of the tortured emergence of Western modernity.”—Paul Mendes-Flohr, The University of Chicago, Divinity School 448 PAGES, 9 B/W ILLUSTRATIONS 978-0-8232-3362-5 PAPER, $35.00

Symbolic Forms for a New Humanity CULTURAL AND RACIAL RECONFIGURATIONS OF CRITICAL THEORY DRUCILLA CORNELL AND KENNETH MICHAEL PANFILIO “This is one of the rarest books. It belongs to the new genre of radical philosophical archeology: it resurrects the work of Ernst Cassirer, one of the great German idealists, and puts it to the task of developing a contemporary critical theory which confronts imperialism and neo-colonialism. At this point of retreat of the left, Cornell and Panfilio open new directions for critical thinking and offer a call to radical action.”—Costas Douzinas, University of London

The Reinvention of Religious Music A Constructive Theology of Intellectual Disability HUMAN BEING AS MUTUALITY AND RESPONSE MOLLY C. HASLAM “Haslam’s work persuasively demonstrates the bias in society—and theology—in favor of intellectual ability, and reveals the dangerous consequences such bias carries. Her reflections are valuable not only as they highlight the existential value of people with profound intellectual disabilities and those who share life with them, but also as she magnificently complicates notions of what it is for any of us to be human or to be made in the image of God.”—Debbie Creamer, Iliff School of Theology

OLIVIER MESSIAEN’S BREAKTHROUGH TOWARD THE BEYOND SANDER VAN MAAS “If the idea that religious music is a thing of the past helps you sleep better, Sander van Maas’s provocative book should wake you up.

From the Bible to Messiaen and Derrida, he radically rethinks the relationships between ear and flesh.”—Peter Szendy, Université de Paris X Nanterre “Recommended!”—Choice 224 PAGES 978-0-8232-3058-7 PAPER, $24.00 EBOOK AVAILABLE

In their letters home, the intrepid Jesuits write of their relationships with Native peoples, whose traditional beliefs the missionaries struggle to translate into their own Catholic terms. Their letters also illuminate the lives of the courageous nuns who founded hospitals and created schools for the girls of early Quebec, both Native and white.”—Mary Jean Green, Dartmouth College

Symbolic Forms for a New Humanity CULTURAL AND RACIAL RECONFIGURATIONS OF CRITICAL THEORY DRUCILLA CORNELL AND KENNETH MICHAEL PANFILIO “This is one of the rarest books. It belongs to the new genre of radical philosophical archeology: it resurrects the work of Ernst Cassirer, one of the great German idealists, and puts it to the task of developing a contemporary critical theory which confronts imperialism and neo-colonialism. At this point of retreat of the left, Cornell and Panfilio open new directions for critical thinking and offer a call to radical action.”—Costas Douzinas, University of London

HASLAM “Haslam’s work persuasively demonstrates the bias in society—and theology—in favor of intellectual ability, and reveals the dangerous consequences such bias carries. Her reflections are valuable not only as they highlight the existential value of people with profound intellectual disabilities and those who share life with them, but also as she magnificently complicates notions of what it is for any of us to be human or to be made in the image of God.”—Debbie Creamer, Iliff School of Theology

OLIVIER MESSIAEN’S BREAKTHROUGH TOWARD THE BEYOND SANDER VAN MAAS “If the idea that religious music is a thing of the past helps you sleep better, Sander van Maas’s provocative book should wake you up.

Decolonizing Epistemologies

Freedom and Law A JEWISH-CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS RANDI RASHKOVER “Freedom and Law offers a prophetic and timely intervention in interreligious dialogue, combining a compelling analysis of law and sovereignty with extensive forays into critical theory and political philosophy as well. Rashkover’s insightful and generous yet provocative reading will prove to be a noteworthy touchstone in this field for years to come.”—Willie Young, Endicott College 336 PAGES 978-0-8232-3453-0 PAPER, $28.00

The Other Jewish Question IDENTIFYING THE JEW AND MAKING SENSE OF MODERNITY JAY GELLER “In this elegantly crafted and stunningly erudite exposition, Jay Geller explores the ‘persistence’ of the Jew as marked by difference, at least in the imagination of others, is to be understood as an index of the tortured emergence of Western modernity.”—Paul Mendes-Flohr, The University of Chicago, Divinity School 448 PAGES, 9 B/W ILLUSTRATIONS 978-0-8232-3362-5 PAPER, $35.00

“Timely and valuable . . . an amazing collection of essays which dazzles with new insights and reflections, and . . . an attractive addition to the ever-growing literature on postcolonial theology.

The Creolizing Subject RACE, REASON, AND THE POLITICS OF PURITY MICHAEL J. MONAHAN “Compellingly argues for an understanding of whiteness as a dynamic racial category of becoming, rather than a static category of being, and convincingly challenges the politics of purity in both traditional and antiracist understandings of race and racism.”—Shannon Sullivan, Pennsylvania State University 256 PAGES 978-0-8232-3450-9 PAPER, $26.00

Symbolic Forms for a New Humanity CULTURAL AND RACIAL RECONFIGURATIONS OF CRITICAL THEORY DRUCILLA CORNELL AND KENNETH MICHAEL PANFILIO “This is one of the rarest books. It belongs to the new genre of radical philosophical archeology: it resurrects the work of Ernst Cassirer, one of the great German idealists, and puts it to the task of developing a contemporary critical theory which confronts imperialism and neo-colonialism. At this point of retreat of the left, Cornell and Panfilio open new directions for critical thinking and offer a call to radical action.”—Costas Douzinas, University of London

192 PAGES 978-0-8232-3896-5 PAPER, $24.00

KARL SHOEMAKER “Shoemaker’s excellent study elucidates the origins and successive transformations of sanctuary as a central institution of premodern criminal justice. A work of great sweep and acuity, Sanctuary and Crime effectively bridges the history of values, ideas and practices—legal, political, religious, and social.”—Thomas A. Green, University of Michigan 224 PAGES 978-0-8232-3268-0 CLOTH, $65.00

The Gift of Science LEIBNIZ AND THE MODERN LEGAL TRADITION ROGER BERKOWITZ “Provides a radical critique of legal positivism from the perspective of intellectual history.

Beyond the Mushroom Cloud: COMMEMORATION, RELIGION, AND RESPONSIBILITY AFTER HIROSHIMA YUKI MIYAMOTO “This imaginative and deeply thoughtful book explores a rarely asked question: how does being victimized challenge individuals ethically? Miyamoto explores the ethical and religious resources that Japanese atomic-bomb victims (hibakusha) have deployed to make sense of their experience and guide their efforts to live good lives after surviving such a shattering event.”—Laura Hein, Northwestern University

BODIES, DESIRES, CONFESSIONS VIRGINIA BURRUS, MARK D. JORDAN, AND KARMEN MACKENDRICK “This book will work its charms on those on intimate terms with Augustine and those who (accidentally or deliberately) have kept their distance. The writing is beautiful, sharp, astute. The authorial trinity brings together some of the most accomplished voices in their respective disciplines in powerful counterpoint.“—Yvonne Sherwood, University of Glasgow

A HISTORY OF THE SISTERS OF OUR LADY OF CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE MARGARET M. MCGUINNESS “Illuminates our understanding of the history of American women religious by examining the unique apostolate of a particular community that blended concern for the spiritual and material well-being of the Catholic poor.”—M.

The Reinvention of Religious Music A Constructive Theology of Intellectual Disability HUMAN BEING AS MUTUALITY AND RESPONSE MOLLY C. HASLAM “Haslam’s work persuasively demonstrates the bias in society—and theology—in favor of intellectual ability, and reveals the dangerous consequences such bias carries. Her reflections are valuable not only as they highlight the existential value of people with profound intellectual disabilities and those who share life with them, but also as she magnificently complicates notions of what it is for any of us to be human or to be made in the image of God.”—Debbie Creamer, Iliff School of Theology

OLIVIER MESSIAEN’S BREAKTHROUGH TOWARD THE BEYOND SANDER VAN MAAS “If the idea that religious music is a thing of the past helps you sleep better, Sander van Maas’s provocative book should wake you up. Did you ever think that an ear could be circumcised? From the Bible to Messiaen and Derrida, he radically rethinks the relationships between ear and flesh.”—Peter Szendy, Université de Paris X Nanterre “Recommended!”—Choice 224 PAGES 978-0-8232-3058-7 PAPER, $24.00 EBOOK AVAILABLE

Hidden Intercourse EROS AND SEXUALITY IN THE HISTORY OF WESTERN ESOTERICISM WOUTER J. HANEGRAAFF AND JEFFREY J. KRIPAL “Hidden Intercourse is a book that turns people’s heads around, so that they can never think of sex the same way again.”—Joscelyn Godwin, Colgate University “A collection of essays addressing a doubly fascinating topic, namely, the intersection of the erotic and the esoteric in Western culture from ancient Greece to contemporary California—where ‘west’ meets ‘east,’ as the American counterculture supplements its already eclectic garb with the mantle of a refashioned Asian Tantra.”—Virginia Burrus, Drew University 544 PAGES, 9 B/W ILLUSTRATIONS 978-0-8232-3341-0 PAPER, $37.00

In their letters home, the intrepid Jesuits write of their relationships with Native peoples, whose traditional beliefs the missionaries struggle to translate into their own Catholic terms. Their letters also illuminate the lives of the courageous nuns who founded hospitals and created schools for the girls of early Quebec, both Native and white.”—Mary Jean Green, Dartmouth College

“A welcome and timely contribution at a time when the question of how to relate to the different and other is up front politically, ethically, and philosophically.�—Jim Olthuis, Institute for Christian Studies, Toronto 256 PAGES 978-0-8232-3462-2 PAPER, $26.00

AN ESSAY ON BIRTH AND RESURRECTION EMMANUEL FALQUE Translated by George Hughes This book reads the dogma of the resurrection of the body in the context of contemporary philosophy, notably Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Deleuze. It shows how a phenomenology of the body born “from below� can be seen as a paradigm for a theology of spiritual rebirth, and for rebirth of the body from “on high.�

“Many scholars from a variety of disciplines will find this an interesting and enlightening text. It not only broadens our understanding of Ricoeur’s work but also builds on it, following his exemplary model on how to do philosophy.�— Christina Gschwandtner, Scranton University 192 PAGES 978-0-8232-3293-2 PAPER, $24.00

Contributors: Jeff Bell, Roland Faber, Sigridur Gudmarsdottir, Michael Halewood, Luke Higgins, Catherine Keller, Isabella Palin, Keith Robinson, Steven Shaviro, Andrea Stephenson, Alan R. Van Wyk

“This collection of essays brings together three very different thinkers around their shared immanentism and antisubstantialism, attending to the differing ways that events, bodies, and gods become in the absence of a transcendent order of being.�—Mary Jane Rubenstein, Wesleyan University 256 PAGES 978-0-8232-3209-3 PAPER, $28.00

PHILOSOPHY The Interval: RELATION AND BECOMING IN IRIGARAY, ARISTOTLE, AND BERGSON REBECCA HILL “The interval is a force of dispersal or difference that is constitutive of identity: it is the necessity of relations between terms. Rebecca Hill has provided a powerful, original analysis of the interval in thinking sexual difference and its implications for our thinking about space, time, and identity.�—Elizabeth Grosz, Rutgers, The State Univeresity of New Jersey 208 PAGES 978-0-8232-3724-1 CLOTH, $55.00

Thinking about Thinking WHAT KIND OF CONVERSATION IS PHILOSOPHY? ADRIAAN THEODOOR PEPERZAK “Thinking about Thinking comprises a set of meditations about the dialogical nature of philosophy and the philosophical life. The fruit of twenty-five years of teaching by a gifted and spirit-filled philosopher, these ten meditations gather around the themes of trust and faith in its several forms, including religious faith and Hegel’s ‘faith in reason.’ �—Thomas R. Flynn, Emory University 216 PAGES 978-0-8232-4018-0 PAPER, $26.00

Through Narcissus’ Glass Darkly THE MODERN RELIGION OF CONSCIENCE DAVID S. PACINI “Pacini’s book . . . illuminates an idea whose inner workings call for a rare ability to think theologically in the context of a modern philosophical narrative. The ‘religion’ in a religion of conscience defies the usual distinctions between religion and science, faith and reason, autonomy and dependence. Pacini deftly illuminates the depths of that brave new religion.�—James Wetzel, Villanova University

Southern Thought and Other Essays on the Mediterranean FRANCO CASSANO Edited and Translated by Norma Bouchard and Valerio Ferme “Cassano’s book furnishes a theoretical and sociohistorical map whereby marginality, silence, difference, and other forms of cultural suppression can finally articulate a discourse aimed not solely at deconstructing Northern European modernity, but at shaping a new understanding of the complex relation between peoples, cultures, and the environment. These perspectives have long been locked up in the Souths of the world, and in the Mediterranean in particular.�—Peter Carravetta, Stony Brook University 224 PAGES 978-0-8232-3365-6 PAPER, $26.00

PEIRCE, AFFECTIVITY, AND SOCIAL CRITICISM LARA TROUT “A lucid, compelling, and exceptionally accessible account of the relevance of Peirce and pragmatism to contemporary discussions of social justice. Trout demonstrates how Peirce’s philosophy rises above his personal prejudices to provide a unique set of tools for analyzing and criticizing the nonconscious biases of those who believe that they are free from prejudice. The Politics of Survival is unmatched in the manner in which it makes Peirce and pragmatism relevant to recent literature on racism and sexism.�—Mitchell Aboulafia, The Juilliard School

Contributors: RenĂŠ Arcilla, Gordon C. F. Bearn, Stanley Cavell, Vincent Colapietro, Russell Goodman, Steve Odin, Hilary W. Putnam, Naoko Saito, Paul Standish

“Stanley Cavell grasps the joys and despairs of philosophy as the art of living, just as he knows the intricate mental beauties and confusions of philosophy as theory. At the very heart of his philosophizing resides the question of education: of who and what we are as beings juxtaposed with who and what we might wish to become. This splendid collection of essays, adroitly edited by Naoko Saito and Paul Standish, is the very first scholarly text to take seriously Cavell’s passion for questions of teaching and learning. It is a welcome addition to the philosophy and the practice of education.�—David T. Hansen, Professor and Director, Program in Philosophy and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University 268 PAGES 978-0-8232-3474-5 PAPER, $28.00

FOR COUR SES

Conversations on Peirce

“This volume is important in that Thoreau was a complex individual whose studies were cross-disciplinary. He was not a writer who merely touched on science; he was a natural philosopher. He was not a writer who merely studied social reform; he was a political activist. And he was not a writer who added a slight philosophical touch to his writings; he was a philosopher. As a book in philosophy, this collection of essays is unique.�—Daniel Dombrowsk, Seattle University 288 PAGES 978-0-8232-3930-6 CLOTH, $55.00
