An unexpected approach to philosophy from a guerrilla-logic point of view. Harnessing cri�cal theory to crea�vely reimagine counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, and interven�ons beyond the poli�cal mainstream, it takes us on a journey through anarchist infowar, queer outlaws, and black insurgency—through a subterranean network of communiques, military documents, contemporary art, poli�cal slogans, adversarial blogs, and cap�ve media. Excludes Japan & ANZ
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
David Weinfeld presents the biography of an idea, cultural pluralism, the intellectual precursor to modern mul�culturalism. He roots the origins of cultural pluralism in the friendship between two philosophers, Jewish immigrant Horace Kallen and African American Alain Locke, who advanced cultural pluralism in opposi�on to both racist na�vism and the assimila�onist "mel�ng pot."

In this short and accessible book, the French philosopher Alain Badiou provides readers with a unique introduc�on to his system of thought, summed up in the trilogy of Being and Event, Logics of Worlds, and The Immanence of Truths. A veritable tour de force of pedagogical clarity, this new studentfriendly work is perhaps the single best general introduc�on to the work of this prolific and commi�ed thinker.
How can a philosophical discourse generated in Asia help us reframe and renew cinema and media theory? Cinema Illumina�ng Reality provides a possible way to do this by using Buddhist ideas to examine the intricate rela�onship between technicity and consciousness in the cinema. Excludes Japan & ANZ

The Politics of Temporality and Solidarity Gary Wilder
A Study in Modern African Political Philosophy Uchenna Okeja
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
In this book, Gary Wilder insists that we place solidarity and temporality at the center of our poli�cal thinking. He develops a cri�que of Le� realism, Le� culturalism, and Le� pessimism from the standpoint of heterodox Marxism and Black radicalism. These tradi�ons offer precious resources to relate cultural singularity and translocal solidarity, poli�cal autonomy and worldwide interdependence.
Through a measured, compara�ve analysis, this book argues that the best way to reimagine and harness the idea of public delibera�on, based on current experiences in Africa, is to see it as performance of agency. Building a new poli�cal center around the prac�ce places agency at the core of a new poli�cal life in Africa. 1

The Spirit Room of Jonathan Koons Sharon Hatfield
Eight Enduring Questions C. Stephen Layman
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
OHIO UNIVERSITY PRESS
In a fascina�ng work of religious history and cultural inquiry, Ha�ield brings to life the true story of a nineteenthcentury farmer-spiritualist, Jonathan Koons, whom thousands traveled to Ohio to see. As heirs to the second Great Awakening, he and his followers were part of a larger, uniquely American moment that s�ll marks the culture today.
Explores a wide range of philosophical issues in their connec�on with theism, including views of free will, ethical theories, theories of mind, naturalism, and karma-plus-reincarna�on. Presents the arguments cogently and simply, yet without oversimplifying the issues. Professional philosophers will find significant, novel arguments in many of the chapters.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
Offers a revised and updated look at the concept of whiteness in the United States. Lauded when it was first published and even more relevant today, this book offers a dis�nc�ve way to talk about race and racism by focusing on racial habits and how to change them.
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
The text radically alters how we approach images. Instead of asking for the history, power, or essence of images, Weigel addresses it as such. Considers how something a-visible gets transformed into an image, scru�nizing the moment of mis-enappari�on, of making an appearance, and the process of concealment that accompanies imaging.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
Hatred of Sex links Jacques Rancière’s poli�cal philosophy of the cons�tu�ve disorder of democracy with Jean Laplanche’s iden�fica�on of a fundamental perturba�on at the heart of human sexuality. Sex is hated as well as desired, the authors contend, because sexual intensity impedes coherent sel�ood and undermines iden�ty, rendering us all a li�le more deplorable than we might wish.
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
“The likeness of form between Chinese and English sentences,” writes the American Sinologist Ernest Fenollosa around 1906, “renders transla�on from one to the other excep�onally easy.” If Babel Had a Form asks not if his claim may be true, but what its phantasmic surprise may yet do.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
As military and other forms of poli�cal violence become the planetary norm, On Posthuman War traces the expansion of war beyond tradi�onal theaters of ba�le. Mike Hill delineates new “Areas of Opera�on” within a concept of the human being as not only a social and biological en�ty but also a technical one.
This study of images and visual experience is a tour de force linking Platonic metaphysics to modern phenomenology and probing literary, philosophical, and theological accounts of visual experience from Plato to Rilke. With over fi�y illustra�ons, the book will interest students and scholars of philosophy, theology, literature, and art history.

There are many fine introduc�ons to philosophy, but few are wri�en for students of faith by a teacher who is sensi�ve to the intellectual challenges they face studying in an environment that is o�en hos�le to religious belief. Appeals to Chris�an teachers, analy�c theists, home educators, and general readers interested in the classic arguments suppor�ng a theis�c worldview.
With this profound final work, completed in the days leading up to his death, Michel Serres presents a vivid picture of his thinking about religion—a constant preoccupa�on since childhood—thereby comple�ng Le Grand Récit, the comprehensive explana�on of the world and of humanity to which he devoted the last twenty years of his life.

Gloria Anzaldua's Naguala and Border Arte Kelli D. Zaytoun
Buddhism and the Natural World Daniel Capper
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS
By exploring lived ecological experiences across seven Buddhist worlds from ancient India to the contemporary West, the book provides a comprehensive, cri�cal, and innova�ve examina�on of the theories, prac�ces, and real-world results of Buddhist environmental ethics. Daniel Capper clarifies crucial contours of Buddhist vegetarianism or meat ea�ng, nature mys�cism, and cultural specula�ons about spirituality in nonhuman animals. 3
Draws on Gloria Anzaldúa's thought to present a radically inclusive and expansive approach to sel�ood, crea�vity, scholarship, healing, coali�onbuilding, and ac�vism. Zaytoun focuses on Anzaldúa's naguala/ shapeshi�er, a concept of nagualismo. This theory of subjec�vity details a rela�onship between "inner work" and "public acts" that strengthens individuals' roles in social and transforma�ve jus�ce work. Excludes SE Asia, Indian sc & ANZ

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Democracy has become disentangled from our ordinary lives. How did democracy become something that is done only at ballot boxes and what role can solidarity play in reviving it? Rochelle DuFord presents a theory of solidarity fit for developing democra�c life and a complementary theory of democracy that emerges from a society typified by solidarity.

Jus�n Coyle remembers the theology of beauty of the forgo�en Summa Halensis, an early thirteenthcentury text wri�en by Franciscan friars at the University of Paris. The book proposes an interpreta�on of the Summa’s beauty-teaching as deeply and inexorably theological, even trinitarian.

In this important new work, Mark Chris�an Thompson a�empts to answer these ques�ons, examining ontology in Mar�n Luther King, Jr.'s philosophy.

During the past century, Supreme Court Jus�ce Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cogni�vely disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by inves�ga�ng the exclusion of and discrimina�on against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy. Excludes Japan & ANZ
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
The text argues that experience and phenomenology are essen�ally poli�cal, with profound implica�ons for our understanding of subjec�vity, epistemology, experience, the phenomenological method, and poli�cs. It develops an account of expression as the internal rela�onship uni�ng knowing, being, and doing with both transcendental condi�ons and empirical phenomena. 4

Two years a�er his Vampyroteuthis Infernalis, Flusser has engaged in another thought experiment: a collec�on of twenty-two “scenarios for the future” to be produced as computer-generated media that would break the imagina�ve logjam in conceiving the social, poli�cal, and economic future of the universe.

The Decline of the Individual in Late Capitalism Michael Thompson
STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
In this new work, poli�cal theorist Michael J. Thompson argues that modern socie�es are witnessing a decline in one of the core building blocks of modernity: the autonomous self. Far from being an illusion of the Enlightenment, Thompson contends that the individual is a defining feature of the project to build a modern democra�c culture and polity.
