Religion & Philosophy Collection 2011

This book is made up of the lectures given by Michel Foucault in 1983 at the Collège de France. Focusing on the relationship between philosophy and politics, it serves to deepen our understanding of his work and how his thinking developed.

Bioethicist and veterinarian Andrew Knight presents more than a decade of ground-breaking scientific research, analysis and experience to provide evidence-based answers to a key question: is animal experimentation ethically justifiable?

In this powerful final course of lectures given at the Collège de France shortly before his death in June 1984, Michel Foucault provides an explicitly political focus to his work on parrhesia - the ancient practice of speaking truth to power.

This was Michel Foucault’s sole foray into the field of contemporary history. His lectures raise questions of political philosophy and social policy that are at the heart of current debates about the role and status of neo-liberalism in twentieth century politics.

What does Marx mean by ‘alienation’? What role does the concept play in his critique of capitalism and his vision of a future society? Marx and Alienation explains and discusses Marx’s ideas in an original and accessible fashion and makes a major contribution to Marxist philosophy.

On The Government of the Living Lectures at the Collège de France, 1979-1980 Michel Foucault, Arnold I. Davidson, University of Chicago, USA, Graham Burchell "[Foucault] must be reckoned with." – The New York Times Book Review "Ideas spark off nearly every page of this book, as Foucault manages to reinvigorate questions of power and violence that might have seemed well-worn. The words may have been spoken in 1976, but they seem as alive and relevant as if they had been written yesterday." – Bookforum "Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are..." – The Nation "[Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind that can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual coded and ask new questions...[He] gives dramatic quality to the movement of culture." – The New York Review of Books "These lectures offer important insights into the evolution of the primary focus of Foucault's later work – the relationship between power and knowledge." - Library Journal

The Poetic Organization Alexandra Pitsis, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia "Alexandra Pitsis has written a wonderful book that is remarkable both for its ambition and creativity. Skillfully weaving together philosophy, social science, and literary theory, she opens us to the implicit poetics of organizations as well as giving us a new means through which to research the lived realities of social existence. A great achievement." -Carl Rhodes, Professor of Management, University of Leicester, UK. "Pitsis shows how important a part poetics plays in organizational life. This testifies to the impressive degree of the originality and creativity in Pitsis' work, and I am hopeful that fellow organizational scholars will dare to pick up these methodological tools in further exploring the poetics of organizational life." -Torkild Thanem, Professor of Management and Organization Studies, Stockholm Business School, Sweden. The Poetic Organization explores the inherent aspects of organization that revolve around poetic processes. This book is a commentary on poetic elements in organization that are critical to developmental areas of organizations, yet poetics are rarely given the attention deserved.

Tradition and Transition at the Turn of the 21st Century

Perspectives from Wisdom Traditions on Management and Business

Comedy, Seriously provides a philosophical interpretation of comedy and argues that comedy displays a particular kind of rationality that reflects philosophical thinking. In particular, that comedy is defined not so much by laughter or jokes, but rather the structure of its plot, which is isomorphic with that of the philosophical argument. Comedy allows for the resolution of a conflict and the achievement of wellbeing and equality through action that follows the comic plot. Moreover, such action is propelled by the 'thinker on stage,' who, as socially and politically oppressed, contributes to the liberation of all and the achievement of the good life. Comedy, therefore, establishes the universal pattern for justice and well-being and allows us to rethink the notion of subjectivity not as the modern isolated subject, but rather as integrated with others through shared action and dialogical involvement.

From the Axial Age to the Moral Revolution John Stuart-Glennie, Karl Jaspers, and a New Understanding of the Idea Eugene Halton, University of Notre Dame, USA 'Halton has creatively introduced a new voice into the current pursuit of the 'axial age,' so thoroughly that readers who will never see Stuart-Glennie's rare books leave Halton's analysis with a clear understanding of what until now has been missing from the record. Intellectual historians are always on the look-out for fresh, previously overlooked material to reanimate. Halton has thus resurrected Stuart-Glennie with dedication and skill.’ - Alan Sica, Professor of Sociology, Pennsylvania State University, USA. In 1873, John Stuart Stuart-Glennie elaborated a theory of 'the moral revolution' to characterize the historical shift from roughly 600 BCE in a variety of civilizations, as part of a critical theory of history. This book brings light to the now eclipsed theory and offers new contexts and understandings of the phenomenon. Contents: Preface * 1. Jaspers, Stuart-Glennie and the Origins of the Theory * 2. Religion, Habitat, and Cosmos * 3. Panzoonism, the Bioticon, and the 500 Year Cycles of History * 4. Islands of Light * 5. Jaspers and Mumford * 6. The Next Transformation? * 7.

PHILOSOPHY OF ART, FILM AND LITERATURE Musical Revolutions in German Culture

The Cultural Impact of Kanye West

Bailey, The Cultural Impact of Kanye West

The Cultural Impact of Kanye West, Bailey

Musicking against the Grain, 1800-1980 Mirko M. Hall, Converse College, USA "Hall interweaves music, philosophy, and politics in this book in order to challenge the reader with the same 'hermeneutic inexhaustibility' that the author also verifies in the 'counterhegemonic possibilities of music.' By exploring the concepts of 'dialectical sonority' and 'dialectical listening,' even within the context of so-called 'lower art,' Hall provides a very original and pioneering contribution through his critical-deconstructive philosophy of music. The subtitle, 'Musicking against the Grain,' not only depicts brilliantly the book's content, but also reflects the author's endeavor: thinking against the grain." - Mário Vieira de Carvalho, Professor Emeritus of Sociology of Music, Nova University of Lisbon, Portugal "In four steps, spanning two centuries of German thought, Hall unlocks a fascinating genealogy of musicking, that broad spectrum of sonic phenomena ranging from listening to natural sounds and composing music to performing noise. Focused on sound's power to engender critical self-reflection, Hall masterfully links the Frankfurt School with its romantic predecessors and postpunk disciples, revealing musicking's historical situatedness, its incorporation of past discourses, and its anticipation of future practices now so ubiquitous in our digital present." - Richard Langston, Associate Professor of German Literature, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA Drawing upon the philosophical insights of Friedrich Schlegel, Walter Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno, and Blixa Bargeld, this book explores the persistence of a critical-deconstructive approach to musical production, consumption, and reception in the German cultural sphere of the last two centuries. Contents: Introduction: Musicking as Cultural Practice * 1. Friedrich Schlegel and Romanticized Music * 2. Walter Benjamin and the Dialectical Sonority * 3. Theodor W. Adorno and Radical Music * 4. Blixa Bargeld and Noise * Coda: Toward a Musical Future Perfect

Edited by Julius Bailey, Wittenberg University, USA "The Cultural Impact of Kanye West is a much-needed addition in today's diluted hip-hop cultural criticism. By deeming West, his chameleon persona, and iconic brand worthy of scholarly examination, this book takes us on a philosophical odyssey like no other in the modern academy." Rahiel Tesfamariam, founder and Editor-in-Chief, Urban Cusp Through rap and hip hop, entertainers have provided a voice questioning and challenging the sanctioned view of society. Examining the moral and social implications of Kanye West's art in the context of Western civilization's preconceived ideas, the contributors consider how West both challenges religious and moral norms and propagates them.

PHILOSOPHY OF ART, FILM AND LITERATURE The Unconquered

Shakespeare and the Ethics of Appropriation

With Another, Earlier Adaptation of We the Living

Edited by Alexa Huang, George Washington University, USA, Elizabeth Rivlin, Clemson University, USA "This thoughtful, imaginative, and generous collection takes us beyond the simple identification of Shakespearean appropriation as a field of study in order to place Shakespeare at the center of presentday manifestations of empire, performance, and the humanities. Text, author, and reader form and inform each other in an ethical process, Rivlin and Huang suggest, that mutually constitutes subjectivity and ethical identity. Individual essays productively disagree about the degree of power afforded to each point of this triangular relationship - text, author, reader - but communicate an urgent and compelling need for adaptors, readers, and viewers to reflect upon what 'Shakespeare' means in each of these contexts and to consider the social and ethical stakes of each of these positions." - Sujata Iyengar, Professor of English, University of Georgia, USA

Ayn Rand, Robert Mayhew, Seton Hall University, USA "A real treat for Ayn Rand fans and for scholars interested in her ideas and intellectual and artistic development. How appropriate that these two adaptations of Ayn Rand's great anti-dictatorship, anti-communist novel be published exactly twentyfive years after the fall of the Berlin Wall." - Yaron Brook, Executive Director, Ayn Rand Institute "Scholars will appreciate the care with which Mayhew assembled and presented this material. When read in conjunction with the helpful introduction and notes, the scripts provide a fresh perspective on the novel, and on Rand's development as a writer and thinker." - Greg Salmieri, Visiting Fellow in Philosophy, Boston University, USA and Co-Chair of the Ayn Rand Society In the 1930s, Ayn Rand was asked to adapt her first novel, We the Living, for the theatre. Her first statement against communism, it sold over 3 million copies. This edition contains two unpublished versions of the play (the latter entitled The Unconquered), and is the first substantial piece of Rand's fiction to publish in over twenty years. Contents: Preface * Chronology * PART I: TWO THEATRICAL ADAPTATIONS BY AYN RAND OF HER NOVEL, WE THE LIVING * 1. We the Living (1936/37) * 2.

PHILOSOPHY OF ART, FILM AND LITERATURE PERFORMANCE PHILOSOPHY

Encounters in Performance Philosophy

Adorno and Performance

Edited by Laura Cull, Shool of the Arts, Surrey University, UK, Alice Lagaay, Universität Bremen, Germany 'The corridors of academia have been invaded by new modalities of conveying meaningful articulation. Performance and registers of performativity now profile the most advanced cuts of philosophical presentation - some feisty, some understated and raw, often delivered with melancholic acuity and controlled dazzle. Alice Lagaay and Laura Cull have assembled a number of breakthrough essays by contributors including noted French philosopher JeanLuc Nancy, that engage, by intricate yet compelling means, the dissociation between the cognitive and performative in contemporary thought.' Avital Ronell, New York University, USA

Edited by Will Daddario, Illinois State University, USA, Karoline Gritzner, Aberystwyth University, UK Adorno and Performance offers the first comprehensive examination of the vital role of performance within the philosophy of Theodor W. Adorno. Capacious in its ramifications for contemporary life, the term 'performance' here unlocks Adorno's dialectical thought process, which aimed at overcoming the stultifying uniformity of instrumental reason.

PHILOSOPHY OF ART, FILM AND LITERATURE Lyotard, Literature and the Trauma of the differend Dylan Sawyer, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK "Working with and yet also moving beyond Lyotard's philosophy, this provocative, wide-ranging and innovative work of literary theory makes challenging and timely arguments about literature in relation to politics, ethics, suffering and – finally - silence." - Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK 'Sawyer's work is a necessary and lyrical account (and calling-to-account) of literature in the face of Lyotard's differend. It is both deeply personal and critically alert, offering a nuanced and sustained negotiation with Lyotard and his philosophy in relation to literature, its subjects, and what remains, after all, unsaid.' — Will Slocombe, University of Liverpool, UK This original study examines Jean-François Lyotard's philosophical concept of the differend and details its unexplored implications for literature. It provides a new framework with which to understand the discourse itself, from its Homeric beginnings to postmodern works by authors such as Michael Ondaatje and Jonathan Safran Foer.

A Critique of Judgment in Film and Television Edited by Silke Panse, University for the Creative Arts Canterbury, UK, Dennis Rothermel, California State University, USA

Poetry and Dialogism Hearing Over

A Critique of Judgment in Film and Television is a response to a significant increase of judgment and judgmentalism in contemporary television, film, and social media by investigating the changing relations between the aesthetics and ethics of judgment.

Edited by Mara Scanlon, University of Mary Washington, USA, Chad Engbers, Calvin College, USA These essays extend an ongoing conversation on dialogic qualities of poetry by positing various foundations, practices, and purposes of poetic dialogism. The authors enrich and diversify the theoretical discourse on dialogic poetry and connect it to fertile critical fields like ethnic studies, translation studies, and ethics and literature.

The Spiritual Dynamic in Modern Art Art History Reconsidered, 1800 to the Present

The Logic of Wish and Fear

Charlene Spretnak, California Institute of Integral Studies, USA "Charlene Spretnak's book is an urgently needed reminder that a good deal of modern art is informed by a 'spiritual dynamic,' initially conveyed through traditional Christian iconography, later through purely aesthetic and abstract means, that is, form and color alone. For her 'spiritual' means 'numinous,' a sense of awe and mystery (the so-called 'mysterium tremendum'), and she convincingly demonstrates, with breathtaking comprehensiveness, that a good many modern artists, however stylistically different, viewed their work as the embodiment of a numinous experience, and a means of evoking it in the spectator ... Her survey is in effect a plea for a critical new spiritual art in a society which has lost its spiritual bearings." - Donald Kuspit, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Art History, Philosophy, State University of New York, USA

New Perspectives on Genres of Western Fiction

This book demonstrates that numerous prominent artists in every period of the modern era were expressing spiritual interests when they created celebrated works of art. This magisterial overview insightfully reveals the centrality of an often denied and misunderstood element in the cultural history of modern art.

Ben La Farge, Bard College, USA "We might have thought that wish and fear are safely in one category, logic in quite another. But in La Farge's absorbing, conceptually engaged, and highly cultivated compact book, we see that these categories in truth interconnect in unexpected and humanely enlightening ways. Similarly, the entrenched genres of comedy, romance, and tragedy - along with La Farge's new player, 'mythic fiction' - enter into wonderfully nuanced relationships as well in this thoroughly readable, engrossing, and lucid study… A remarkably rich mosaic that shows us - in short form but packing a punch - a great deal about the wondrously intricate ways in which literature is a tool with which we make sense of our lives." - Garry L. Hagberg, James H. Ottaway Jr. Professor of Aesthetics and Philosophy, Bard College, USA, and author of Describing Ourselves: Wittgenstein and Autobiographical Consciousness and Editor of the journal Philosophy and Literature Moving effortlessly from Greek to Shakespearean tragedies, to nineteenth and twentieth-century British, American and Russian drama, and fiction and contemporary television, this study sheds new light on the art of comedy.

The book honors a practitioner of dialogue, negotiation, and conflict resolution, but at the same time uses some of the different experiences in which Milani was involved to move in the direction of a cosmopolitan social movement for international peace." - Carlos Alberto Torres, Director, Paulo Freire Institute and Associate Dean for Global Programs, University of California-Los Angeles, USA; President, World Council of Comparative Education Societies

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION A Levinasian Ethics for Education’s Commonplaces

Knowing and Learning as Creative Action

Between Calling and Inspiration

Aaron Stoller, North Carolina State University, USA ‘In this insightful and well written work, Stoller recreates the idea of Bildung in terms of knowing and learning as creative action. Identifying similarities in Hans-Georg Gadamer and John Dewey, Stoller's vision cuts through to essentials. The result is an original approach to teaching, learning, and knowing which presents an exceptional corrective to the increasing demands for educational conformity in the twenty-first century.’ - Jim Garrison, Professor of Philosophy of Education, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA ‘Stoller utilizes epistemology to show how most schools operate on the assumption that knowledge is something transmitted from teachers to students—an age-old myth that continues to harm both students and teachers by limiting what it means to know, to learn, and to teach. This is a must-read for anyone who is serious about reconstructing schools for active inquiry and authentic knowing.’ - Deron Boyles, Professor of Philosophy of Education, Georgia State University, USA

A Reexamination of the Epistemological Foundations of Education

Clarence W. Joldersma, Calvin College, USA Joldersma applies Levinas's ethics systematically to the commonplaces of education - teaching, learning, curriculum, and institutions - and elucidates the role of justice and responsibility and the meaning of calling and inspiration in education.

Corporeal Performances of Social Class Sue Ellen Henry, Bucknell University, USA ‘Sue Ellen Henry is mapping new territory that centers the arguments surrounding body/embodiment and foregrounds social class. This book presents substantial literature reviews that will introduce readers to work that has been conducted in these areas. It is very promising, timely, and exciting.’ – Stephanie Jones, Associate Professor of Elementary and Social Studies Education, University of Georgia, USA ‘Henry raises new and timely questions about how working class children’s bodies are interpreted, disciplined, and controlled through neoliberal educational approaches to education. Henry’s research explores how teachers read students’ body language, and the connections between how teachers interpret students’ bodies and how they interpret students’ themselves. Henry’s investigation into these questions is a must-read for all those concerned with education and social justice.’ - Jennifer Trainor, Associate Professor of English, San Francisco State University, USA

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION Benign Violence: Education in and beyond the Age of Reason Ansgar Allen, University of Sheffield, UK "We should invert the old cliché: this book talks Power to Truth, and does so brilliantly... He tells us, in effect, to stick our liberalism up our holism." - Prof Ian Stronach, Liverpool John Moores University, UK "The great distinction of this book is that it is unremittingly and wonderfully offensive to liberal piety, that whispering ghost that sighs its sad way through the instituted wreckage of the education system. Ansgar Allen's genealogy of examination sets out education's passage from optimistic or sinister (as you will) Enlightenment dreaming to the structured chaos and brutality that today makes knowledge and its transmission safe for capitalism. If you can face up to what education has become, read this book." - Dr Roy Goddard, University of Sheffield, UK "Allen shows us that the classroom is a dangerous place, forensically and painfully he very convincingly spoils our love affair with education... Beautifully written and exquisitely understated - this should be required reading for every would-be educator." - Prof Stephen Ball, Institute of Education, University of London, UK "Brilliantly original and beautifully written....If you think that education should be guided by such high- minded liberal principles as freedom, equality and rational autonomy then this book will certainly make you think again." - Prof Wilfred Carr, University of Sheffield, UK "This book is subtly written and conceived, meticulously scholarly but above all it invites us, coolly, persuasively, to abandon what's left of our present faith and to commit to the serious, difficult business of forging new bearings." - Dr Nick Peim, University of Birmingham, UK "Full marks for this critique of examination. An antidote to contemporary educational platitudes and banalities of aspiration and meritocracy that sanitise and soothe away their technological continuities with eugenics. A rare Foucauldian critique combining outstanding scholarship with the incitement to action. Every teacher, parent and student needs to read this." - Prof Erica Burman, University of Manchester, UK "I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. I loved the unique style you offered, it was quite different from the usual academic literature I read. ... It is always refreshing and quite satisfying to read a book that is clear from the beginning and makes sense. There is a clear sense of rebellion but its great to see an academic who does not sit on the fence and is not in fear of offending other academics. It's great to be different!" - Sumera Usman, undergraduate student Setting education in its political context, this book offers a history of good intentions, ranging from the birth of modern schooling and modern examination, to the rise (and fall) of meritocracy. In challenging all that is well-intentioned in education, this book reveals how our educational commitments are always underwritten by violence. Contents: 1. Bodies * 2. Populations * 3.

Dewey’s Social Philosophy Democracy as Education John R. Shook, University of Buffalo, USA "This is a profound meditation on the most intimate connections between democracy and education. Taking his cue from John Dewey's masterwork Democracy and Education, Shook encourages his readers to consider how a vital educational agenda can foster reconstruction of the norms of justice, moral behavior, and religious belief in a time of debilitating economic and racial divisions." - Larry A. Hickman, Center for Dewey Studies, Southern Illinois University, USA "In this elegantly written and masterfully researched book, a leading contemporary pragmatist investigates how John Dewey saw education as the 'fundamental engine of democracy' ... I recommend this book highly as a major accomplishment in Dewey scholarship and will assign it in my graduate classes." - AG Rud, Distinguished Professor, College of Education, Washington State University, USA Dewey is known for education theories to promote democracy, but what is democracy for? His philosophy advanced democracy as education itself, reaching higher levels of social intelligence. Praising community or promoting rights doesn't get to the heart of Dewey's vision, which seeks everyone's good in a social life that is intelligently lived. Contents: 1. Introduction * 2.

PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE Albert Schweitzer’s Legacy for Education Reverence for Life A. G. Rud, College of Education, Washington State University, USA "We now have a book that carefully delves into both Schweitzer's life and the historical development of his concept of 'Reverence for Life' in a truly magnificent and thought-provoking way. A gifted writer and researcher, Rud is able to synthesize the long process it took for Schweitzer to have this vision, detailing the influence of his wife, Helene, and his work as an author, professor, musician, and theologian. Especially important is Rud's analysis of the need for ritual and ceremony in educational situations, which would apply to even daily chores. Too often we look at the larger picture of the budget or the building to the detriment of the small things we do for and with each other that bind us together. These things should be remembered in any classroom at any level. A seminal and important work, it will add greatly to your knowledge as a teacher and improve the way students learn and become a part of society." - David T. Ives, Executive Director of the Albert Schweitzer Institute, Quinnipiac University, USA "No other work provides so clear a discussion of Schweitzer's ideas for education today, and it does so with clarity and economy.' - Kieran Egan, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser University, Canada This is the first book devoted to the study of the thought of Albert Schweitzer as it relates to educational theory and practice. Rud argues that Schweitzer's life and work offer inspiration and timely insights for both educational thought and practice in our new century.

Delia Belleri, National Autonomous University of Mexico Combining a fresh, previously unexplored view of the subject with a detailed overview of the past and ongoing philosophical discussion on the matter, this book investigates the phenomenon of semantic underdeterminacy by seeking an answer to the questions of how it can be explained, and how communication is possible despite it.

Jaroslav Peregrin, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague In this study two strands of inferentialism are brought together: the philosophical doctrine of Brandom, according to which meanings are generally inferential roles, and the logical doctrine prioritizing proof-theory over model theory and approaching meaning in logical, especially proof-theoretical terms.

An Aristotelian Realist Philosophy of Mathematics Mathematics as the Science of Quantity and Structure James Franklin, School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia "A short review cannot do justice to the variety of problems considered and the interesting angles of attack offered by [Franklin's] realist point of view." -David Guaspari, The New Criterion Mathematics is as much a science of the real world as biology is.

Enactive Cognition at the Edge of Sense-Making Making Sense of Non-Sense Edited by Massimiliano Cappuccio, Department of Philosophy, United Arab Emirates University, Emirate of Abu Dhabi, Tom Froese, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Mexico

Philosophy of Action

The enactive approach replaces the classical computer metaphor of mind with emphasis on embodiment and social interaction as the sources of our goals and concerns. Researchers from a range of disciplines unite to address the challenge of how to account for the more uniquely human aspects of cognition, including the abstract and the nonsensical.

Lilian O’Brien, University College Cork, Ireland Accessible and wide-ranging, this introduction to contemporary Philosophy of Action guides the reader through the major views and arguments. The topics addressed include the nature of intentional action and its explanation, the nature of reasons, the role of desire and intention in action, the nature of autonomy and the possibility of group agents.

The Madness of Culture Louis S. Berger, Private Practice, USA "Why do we blithely destroy our own futures in the pursuit of self-interest? What kind of being has an interest in its own destruction? What if our current sense of 'normality' were in fact a particularly pervasive and stubborn form of madness? Making a clear, well-researched, and often compelling case for this provocative view, Berger suggests a way to restore some sanity to our world grown mad. By stepping back and thinking realistically about what human survival requires, we can develop child-rearing practices that will help us heal the malignant divide between our skillful embodiment and our linguistic self-understanding. There is much food for thought in this wise book." - Iain Thomson, University of New Mexico, USA Drawing on and integrating unorthodox thought from a broad range of disciplines including clinical psychology, linguistics, philosophy, natural science and psychoanalysis, this book offers a provocative, original analysis of the global threats to our survival, and proposes a remedy.

Your Digital Afterlives

The Problem of Animal Pain

Computational Theories of Life after Death

A Theodicy For All Creatures Great And Small Trent Dougherty, Baylor University, USA, Yujin Nagasawa, University of Birmingham, UK, Erik Wielenberg, DePauw University, USA

Eric Charles Steinhart, Department of Philosophy, William Paterson University of New Jersey, USA, Yujin Nagasawa, University of Birmingham, UK, Erik Wielenberg, DePauw University, USA

Animal suffering constitutes perhaps the greatest challenge to rational belief in the existence of God. Considerations that render human suffering theologically intelligible seem inapplicable to animal suffering. In this book, Dougherty defends radical possibilities for animal afterlife that allow a soul-making theodicy to apply to their case.

Digitalism is a philosophical strategy that uses new computational ways of thinking to develop naturalistic but meaningful ways of thinking about bodies, souls, universes, gods, and life after death. Your Digital Afterlives examines four recently developed and digitally inspired theories of life after death. Contents: Preface * Series Editors’ Preface * 1. Ghosts * 2. Persistence * 3.

A Theory of the Absolute

Benedikt Paul Göcke, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, Yujin Nagasawa, University of Birmingham, UK, Erik Wielenberg, DePauw University, USA

Thinking about Religion examines cutting-edge breakthroughs from across the sciences concluding that religion persists because the mind is primed for faith, ready to grasp and fiercely defend beliefs that make sense but defy logic.

A Theory of the Absolute develops a worldview that is opposed to the dominant paradigm of physicalism and atheism. It provides powerful arguments for the existence of the soul and the existence of the Absolute. It shows that faith is not in contradiction to reason.

Theology after the Birth of God Atheist Conceptions in Cognition and Culture F. LeRon Shults, Institute of Religion, Philosophy and History at the University of Agder, Norway "A sophisticated and significant exploration of the implications of the biocultural study of religion; important not only for theologians and philosophers, but for all those interested in the role religion plays in the world today. With a series of entertaining metaphors, Shults guides us through the ways our evolved cognitive mechanisms both generate and constrain, in sometimes dangerous ways, our religious and anti-religious discourse. He makes a compelling case that this new paradigm is a profound game changer that no serious discussion of religion can responsibly ignore. I believe the same can be said of this book." - John Teehan, author of In the Name of God: The Evolutionary Origins of Religious Ethics and Violence (2010) "Theology After the Birth of God is a valuable part of any atheist's library. Sun Tsu taught us to know our enemies; Shults teaches us that gods are not only manmade, but an inevitable byproduct of evolution. This information is devastating to the concept that gods are real, as Shults shows exactly how they are made, shaped, and used to the advantage of those in charge. He then takes the next step of teaching us how to use this information toward the betterment of society. Shults answers once and for all, how so many people can believe in a god and still be wrong." - David Silverman, President of American Atheists Engaging recent developments within the bio-cultural study of religion, Shults unveils the evolved cognitive and coalitional mechanisms by which godconceptions are engendered in minds and nurtured in societies. He discovers and attempts to liberate a radically atheist trajectory that has long been suppressed within the discipline of theology. Contents: 1. The Gods are Born – and we Have Borne Them * 2.

Theism and Public Policy Humanist Perspectives and Responses Edited by Anthony B. Pinn, Religious Studies Department, Rice University, USA "There is a lively debate on religion's role in the public square currently underway in the marketplace of ideas. Theism and Public Policy is a thoughtful and provocative collection of essays that seeks to confront potentially contentious issues that arise from the widening chasm between religious believers and non-believers in the context of liberal Western democracies. Truth be told, putting forth prescriptions for such a multicultural, multidimensional vision of secularism without much of the cynicism, vitriol, and invective that has bogged down previous expressions of humanism makes this volume a very welcome addition to this emerging discourse." - Juan M. FloydThomas, Vanderbilt University, USA Does theism dominate the language and practices of public life in the United States? This volume explores this question from a humanist perspective, and in so doing it provides insight into the relationship of religion to public policy, and offers ways to advance a more democratic and secular public arena.

PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION Wittgenstein within the Philosophy of Religion

Aquinas’s Philosophy of Religion Paul O’Grady, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Thomas D. Carroll, Xing Wei College, People’s Republic of China

This is an exploration and analysis of Aquinas's contribution to the philosophy of religion. It examines Aquinas's contexts, his views on philosophy and theology, as well as faith and reason. His arguments for God's existence, responses to objections against God's existence and his characterization of the nature of God are examined.

The commonly held view that Wittgensteinian philosophy of religion is fideistic loses plausibility when contrasted with recent scholarship on Wittgenstein's corpus and biography. This book reevaluates the place of Wittgenstein in the philosophy of religion and charts a path forward for the subfield by advancing three themes.

The Ethics of Animal Re-creation and Modification

Karen Bloom Gevirtz, Seton Hall University, USA "'Exploring 'scientific' writers such as Newton, Boyle, Hooke, and Locke in the context of well-known and largely female literary writers like Behn, Barker, Haywood, and Davys, Gevirtz's ideas are fresh and new and will contribute widely to contemporary discussions of science and the history of the novel, as well as women's writing and culture, gender issues in this historical period, and narrative strategies." Judy Hayden, Professor of English and Writing, The University of Tampa, USA "Connecting the practices of the natural philosopher with those of the novelist, Karen Gevirtz offers an incisive, lucid account of the fashioning of a knowing yet detached narrator within early fiction by women. Women, the Novel, and Natural Philosophy, 1660-1727 is as astute about Boyle and Newton as it is about Behn and Haywood, drawing together the prehistories of scientific objectivity and novelistic omniscience in an original narrative on the emergence of a modern self." - Peter Walmsley, Professor of English, McMaster University, Canada "Karen Gevirtz writes with remarkable skill on relations between literature and science in the early modern period. This is a book that turns conventional literary history inside out and offers fresh perspectives on technologies of the observing self and emerging forms of prose fiction." - Alvin Snider, Associate Professor of English, The University of Iowa, USA This book shows how early women novelists from Aphra Behn to Mary Davys drew on debates about the self generated by the 'scientific' revolution to establish the novel as a genre. Fascinated by the problematic idea of a unified self underpinning modes of thinking, female novelists innovated narrative structures to interrogate this idea. Contents: Introduction * 1.

Sex and the Posthuman Condition Michael Hauskeller, University of Exeter, UK This book looks at how sexuality is framed in enhancement scenarios and how descriptions of the resulting posthuman future are informed by mythological, historical and literary paradigms. It examines the glorious sex life we will allegedly enjoy due to greater control of our emotions, improved capacity for pleasure, and availability of sex robots.

PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE Criminological Theory

PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE

A Genetic-Social Approach

The Proactionary Imperative

Tim Owen, University of Central Lancashire, UK

A Foundation for Transhumanism

In an age of rapid advances in behavioural genetics, this book applies a unique genetic-social framework to the study of crime and criminal behaviour. Drawing upon evidence from evolutionary psychology and behavioural genetics, it offers an up-to-date and balanced account of the mutuality between genes and environment.

Steve Fuller, University of Warwick, UK, Veronika Lipińska, University of Warwick, UK ‘Fuller is the closest thing to a Foucault writing today in the English language.’ – Metascience The Proactionary Imperative debates the concept of transforming human nature, including such thorny topics as humanity's privilege as a species, our capacity to 'play God', the idea that we might treat our genes as a capital investment, eugenics and what it might mean to be 'human' in the context of risky scientific and technological interventions.

PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE Global Modernity

Human Extension: An Alternative to Evolutionism, Creationism and Intelligent Design

A Conceptual Sketch Volker H. Schmidt, National University of Singapore, Singapore "To say this book is impressive would be an understatement. It gets at the heart of a matter that is central to the social sciences and that has been discussed for a long time. Highly thoughtful and extremely well written, the book combines a wealth of insights from a multitude of sources and disciplines. It thereby makes a major, fascinating contribution to our understanding of the contemporary world. A must read for anyone interested in social theory today." Zaheer Baber, Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto, Canada "One of the most rewarding books I've read in years, Global Modernity. A Conceptual Sketch offers a tour de force that can stand as a benchmark for future discussions of the subject. Its ideas are original and authoritative, well-formulated, and wondrously usable. The author treats major contributors to the debate on modernity deftly, respectfully, and creatively – thereby manifesting a kind of civilized inquiry that is regrettably rare in academic discourse. Overall, I find Volker Schmidt's book to be one of the very few statements in general sociological theory today worthy engaging with seriously." - Donald N. Levine, Peter B. Ritzma Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Chicago, USA This book introduces the concept of global modernity as a paradigm for the analysis of the contemporary era. Building on Parson's distinction between social, cultural, personal and organismic systems, it presents a four-dimensional scheme that aims to identify modernity's key structural components. Contents: 1. Introduction * 2. Phases of Modernity * 3. Epistemological and Methodological Challenges * 4. A Four-dimensional Scheme of Modernization * 5. Global Modernization in Context * 6. Two Aspects of Polycentric Modernity * 7. Conclusion

FEMINIST PHILOSOPHY Queer Post-Gender Ethics

FEMINIST PHILOSOPHY

The Shape of Selves to Come

Gendered Readings of Change A Feminist-Pragmatist Approach Clara Fischer, Irish Feminist Network, Ireland "An original and compelling book. Fischer problematizes canonical theories of change through a feminist-pragmatist approach. She highlights John Dewey's transformation of Aristotle's philosophy to explicate a dynamic sense of self. This leads to a feminist-pragmatist self with the capacity to effect socio-political change. Gendered hierarchies distorting philosophy from its inception are swept away in this model of humans in transaction with their environments. This is a philosophy for our time." - Charlene Haddock Seigfried, Professor Emerita of Philosophy, Purdue University, USA This book develops a unique theory of change by drawing on American philosophy and contemporary feminist thought. Via a select history of ancient Greek and Pragmatist philosophies of change, Fischer argues for a reconstruction of transformation that is inclusive of women's experiences and thought. Contents: PART I: GENEALOGICAL REFLECTIONS ON CHANGE * 1. Women, Change, and the Birth of Philosophy * 2. Change in Dewey’s and Aristotle’s Metaphysics * 3. Change in Dewey’s and Aristotle’s Self * PART II: FEMINIST-PRAGMATIST RECONSTRUCTION OF CHANGE * 4. The Feminist-Pragmatist Self * 5. Democracy and Change as Transaction

Lucy Nicholas, Swinburne University, Australia ‘Quite simply one of the most impressive, thoughtful and careful expositions of the new terrain of androgynous ethics of the self that arises from the advances of queer theory, gender critique and the deconstructive turn in social theory. Nicholas succeeds in the difficult task of authoritative exposition of the range of gendered, social and ethical theory balanced in a discursive style that encourages reflection, thought and engagement. The clarity of this approach to thinking gender and ethics, combined with a fine grasp and deployment of complex theory in a refreshingly accessible articulation, makes this a pleasure to read. This is indispensable to anyone who wants to understand the frontiers of thinking identity, self and gender today and an exciting challenge to move against and in transgression of those frontiers.’ - Paul Reynolds, Edge Hill University, UK Can society operate without gender and even biological sex classifications? Queer Post-Gender Ethics argues that we could exist, formulate our relationships and be sexual in more androgynous ways. Outlining a political vision for how a post-gender sociality might be achieved, it presents queer social practices for a truly gender neutral world. Contents: Introduction * 1. The Resilience of Bigenderism * 2. Diagnosing and Transcending Sexual Difference * 3. Gender Justice * 4. Philosophical Arguments for Post-Gender Ontological Ethics * 5.

Feminism, Time, and Nonlinear History Victoria Browne, Oxford Brookes University, UK "In this important book, Browne challenges feminism to think through the problem of historiography in order to better account for the 'complex coevalness' of feminism's multiplicity. By focusing on the concept of lived time, rather than, say, evolutionary or geological time, Browne provides feminist theory with a theoretically astute and generative engagement with the social and political effects of temporalization, and in so doing situates feminism's continuing political viability in the complexities of our 'shared time' with others." - Victoria Hesford, Associate Professor of Women's and Gender Studies, Stony Brook University, USA Interweaving phenomenological, hermeneutical, and sociopolitical analyses, this book considers the ways in which feminists conceptualize and produce the temporalities of feminism, including the time of the trace, narrative time, calendar time, and generational time. Contents: Introduction: Why Feminism Needs Alternative Concepts of Historical Time * 1. Lived Time and Polytemporality * 2. The Time of the Trace * 3. Narrative Time * 4. Calendar Time * 5.

Cassie Striblen, Department of Philosophy, West Chester University, USA Since World War II philosophers and others have sporadically and not altogether successfully wrestled with the moral problem presented by group responsibility for such atrocities as the Holocaust, 'ethnic cleansing,' racial violence and other great harms. Skillfully and selectively discussing the merits and serious drawbacks of some of the key contributions to this debate, Cassie Striblen defends a plausible yet demanding account of shared responsibility among members of the 'white' identity group based on insights from social psychology and narrative theory. Her new and subtle proposal should do much to bring serious discussion of group responsibility back into focus and sets a new standard for future debate on the topic. – Lawrence Jost, University of Cincinnati, USA Drawing on work in social psychology, narrative ethics, and feminist philosophy, the author presents a new account which answers the standard objections while also giving practical guidance to individuals who take their group-related responsibilities seriously.

POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY THE PALGRAVE MACMILLAN ANIMAL ETHICS SERIES

Foucault on the Politics of Parrhesia Torben Bech Dyrberg, Department of Society and Globalisation, University of Roskilde, Denmark

Animals in Social Work

Foucault saw the notion of parrhesia (truth-telling) as the most important factor for how governments could and should communicate with their people and vice versa. This important collection compiles and analyses Foucault's views on parrhesia to shed new light on his ideas on the importance of truth-telling in democracies.

Why and How They Matter Edited by Thomas Ryan, Tasmania This collection of essays articulates theoretical and philosophical arguments, and advances practical applications, as to why animals ought to matter to social work, in and of themselves. It serves as a persuasive corrective to the current invisibility of animals in contemporary social work practice and thought.

Robert C. Robinson, School of Professional Studies, City University of New York, USA This text explores the place to locate the cut between those inequalities for which it is fair to hold one responsible, and those for which it is not. The argument traces a thread of intellectual history, identifying a rejection of strong property rights which we inherit from Locke, and find in contemporary defenders of entitlements such as Nozick.

While much has been written on environmental politics on the one hand, and animal ethics and welfare on the other, animal politics is underexamined. There are key political implications in the increase of animal protection laws, the rights of nature, and political parties dedicated to animals.

(Mis)readings of Marx in Continental Philosophy The Illusion of Well-Being

Edited by Jernej Habjan, Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Slovenia, Jessica Whyte, Institute for Culture and Society, University of Western Sydney, Australia

White, The Illusion of Well-Being

The Illusion of Well-Being, White

Economic Policymaking Based on Respect and Responsiveness Mark D. White, College of Staten Island, City University of New York, USA "Happiness may be our most prized objective. But it is elusive, hard-to-measure, and difficult to explain to others, often even to ourselves. White shows why using measures of gross domestic happiness instead of gross domestic product are doomed to fail. He persuasively concludes that governments that respect individual autonomy will do better in the aggregate than hubristic governments that use public conceptions of well-being to override private choices." - Richard A. Epstein, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law, New York University, USA; Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow, The Hoover Institution, USA; James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law Emeritus and Senior Lecturer, The University of Chicago, USA This book will argue against the use of well-being to guide policymaking and in favor of a rule-oriented approach to policymaking that respects the choices of individuals.

Revisiting Iris Marion Young on Normalisation, Inclusion and Democracy presents an innovative collection of politically and theoretically inspiring papers by feminist, queer and postcolonial writers. All authors engage with Young's politics of cultural difference and a 'politics of positional difference' read against her critique of normalisation.

Care, Uncertainty and Intergenerational Ethics Christopher Groves, ESRC, Cardiff University, UK

Castoriadis and Critical Theory

Our capacity to reshape the future has never been more powerful. Yet our ability to foresee the consequences of what we do has not kept pace. Is the idea that we have responsibilities to future generations therefore meaningful? This book argues that it is, with the aid of a unique reading of the care ethics tradition.

Crisis, Critique and Radical Alternatives Christos Memos, Department of Sociology, University of Abertay, UK By exploring the concepts of 'crisis' and 'critique', this study offers a thought-provoking re-examination of the political and social thought of Cornelius Castoriadis in light of the current world crisis and with regard to his radical critique of both the traditional Left and contemporary capitalist societies.

POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY Truth Wars

Conservatism and Pragmatism

The Politics of Climate Change, Military Intervention and Financial Crisis

In Law, Politics, and Ethics

Peter Lee, RAF College Cranwell, University of Portsmouth, UK 'Focusing upon the three great global political crises of our time – military intervention, the financial meltdown, and the actual 'meltdown' threatened by climate change – the author provides a probing and deeply unsettling assessment of the manner in which competing and often illusory truth-claims are fashioned by political leaders, governments, international institutions and demagogues solely in order to re-shape the world in their image, and to gain control over the lives of others. Our fundamental assumptions about what Truth is, or what it means, are put to test in this eloquent, articulate, and provocative work.' - George R. Lucas Jr., U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, USA 'Truth Wars makes a unique and important contribution to the literature on some of the most pertinent questions in global politics today. Peter Lee's new book really challenged my own thinking on what I thought was 'true' in the debates about climate change, drone warfare and the global financial crisis. I cannot wait to see my IR students engage with this thought-provoking analysis, which is guaranteed to lead to some heated discussions! Moreover, Truth Wars not only stands out for its innovative approach to global crises and controversies. It is written with such a sense of fun that I could not put it down once I started reading.' - Bettina Renz, University of Nottingham, UK 'Peter Lee provides the reader with a stimulating, non-judgmental foundation for what can only be classified as the attempt to understand how political truths become political truths and their impact on the political process of establishing policy, making decisions that will affect how policy is implemented, and how it ultimately affects each of us.At least after reading Politics in Crises: Truth Wars, each of us will have a better understanding of the way these truth wars are conducted and be better able to form our own truths.' – Bill Powers, Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, Canada We live in an age of crises that are global in scale and potentially apocalyptic in severity, affecting the lives of millions – billions – of people. Peter Lee examines the struggle for truth at the heart of these crises to show how political leaders attempt to shape individual behavior, attitudes and identity.

Five Diagrams of the Finite-Infinite Relation

Simon O’Sullivan, Department of Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths College, UK "Simon O' Sullivan does not merely offer another theory of the subject. Rather, he elegantly diagrams contemporary theoretical treatments of subjectification in order to grapple with the implications of subjectivity's adjacency and residuality. He never loses sight of the stakes for self-creation while examining the parameters of the relations between finitude-infinitude, desireethics, and subject-object that organize his engaging interpretations of Badiou, Foucault, Deleuze, Guattari, and Lacan. On the Production of Subjectivity is a fundamental reference point for questions bearing upon mental ecology, and a sourcebook for thinking beyond the diluted subjectivities available under semiocapital." Gary Genosko, Professor of Sociology and Canada Research Chair, Lakehead University, Canada This book offers a series of critical commentaries on, and forced encounters between, different thinkers. At stake in this philosophical and psychoanalytical enquiry is the drawing of a series of diagrams of the finite/infinite relation, and the mapping out of the contours for a speculative and pragmatic production of subjectivity.

CONTINENTAL PHILOSOPHY A Rumor of Empathy

Schopenhauer and Adorno on Bodily Suffering

Rewriting Empathy in the Context of Philosophy

A Comparative Analysis

Lou Agosta, Chicago, USA ‘Lou Agosta has written a delightful and much needed book on the evolution and genesis of the idea of empathy. His deep appreciation and understanding of the writings of Hume, Kant, Lipps, Freud, Scheler and Husserl allows him to recognize, explore and ultimately fashion a wonderfully clear and practical notion of empathy, one in which we not only come to know the other as we listen with care, understand with insight, and interpret with feeling, but also one in which we learn to communicate openly and respond with humanity. In bringing together the skills of the philosopher and the experience of the psychotherapist, Lou Agosta helps us to understand the steady rise of empathy and why it informs and inspires so many modern-day disciplines and professional practices. For all those wishing to revel in empathy's rich provenance, this is the book for you.’ - David Howe, Emeritus Professor, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK and author of Empathy: What It Is and Why It Matters A rumor of empathy in vicarious receptivity, understanding, interpretation, narrative, and empathic intersubjectivity becomes the scandal of empathy in Lipps and Strachey. Yet when all the philosophical arguments and categories are complete and all the hermeneutic circles spun out, we are quite simply in the presence of another human being.

Mathijs Peters, Independent Scholar, The Netherlands Schopenhauer and Adorno on Bodily Suffering explores how the works of both philosophers revolve around an entwinement of pessimism and optimism, which links statements regarding the wrongness of the world to analyses of the human capability to experience compassion with bodily suffering and to the redeeming qualities of the arts.

Ted Poston, University of South Alabama, USA "Poston presents his readers with an original, clear and sophisticated defense of both epistemic conservatism and explanatory coherentism. He couples that defense of his positive view with a formidable, sustained attack on classical foundationalism. The book is a must read for anyone interested in fundamental issues in epistemology." - Richard Fumerton, F. Wendell Miller Professor of Philosophy, University of Iowa, USA "This is an excellent book ... This is a work that anyone interested in epistemology would be well advised to study closely." - Kevin McCain, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA In this new explanationist account of epistemic justification, Poston argues that the explanatory virtues provide all the materials necessary for a plausible account of justified belief. There are no purely autonomous reasons. Rather reasons occur only within an explanatory coherent set of beliefs. Contents: Series Editors’ Preface * Preface * 1. Introduction * 2.

Knowledge First?

McGlynn, Knowledge First?

Aidan McGlynn, Department of Philosophy, University of Edinburgh, UK 'Aidan McGlynn has done us all a tremendous favour by writing this survey of knowledge first philosophy. The recent debates about knowledge-first philosophy touch upon some of the most important issues in epistemology and related areas, and I could imagine no better introduction than this. McGlynn has a keen eye for detail and a knack for tying the details together into a larger narrative structure. The discussion is critical, but not dismissive. Proponents of knowledge first philosophy and its critics will learn a great deal from this book. I recommend it without reservation.' Clayton Littlejohn, King's College London, UK According to a long tradition, questions about the nature of knowledge are to be answered by analyzing it as a species of true belief. In light of the apparent failure of this approach, knowledge first philosophy takes knowledge as the starting point in epistemology. Knowledge First? offers the first overview of this approach.

EPISTEMOLOGY Epistemic Relativism

Epistemic Entitlement

A Constructive Critique

The Right to Believe Hannes Ole Matthiessen, University of Fribourg, Switzerland

Markus Seidel, Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Münster, Germany

What entitles you to claims about your perceivable environment? Matthiessen suggests that it is neither your experience, nor the reliability of your cognitive processes, but rather your being in the right kind of perceptual situation.

Markus Seidel provides a detailed critique of epistemic relativism in the sociology of scientific knowledge. In addition to scrutinizing the main arguments for epistemic relativism he provides an absolutist account that nevertheless aims at integrating the relativist's intuition.

Christian Theology and the Status of Animals

A Moral and Spiritual Perspective Gary E. Roberts, Regent University, USA

The Dominant Tradition and Its Alternatives

Servant Leader Human Resource Management provides a comprehensive conceptual framework based on a dignity enhancing stewardship model that integrates and balances mission achievement with motive, means and ends integrity from both a line manager and human resource department perspective.

Ryan Patrick McLaughlin, Duquesne University, USA The author argues that there are conflicting traditions with regard to the question of what is the moral standing of animals according to Christianity. The dominant tradition maintains that animals are primarily resources but there are alternative strands of Christian thought that challenge this view.

Susan E. Babbitt, Queen’s University, Canada 'The ‘battle for ideas’ has marked Susan Babbitt's work for decades. In this book, Babbitt challenges received views of Cuba and of philosophy. She demands that readers imagine new ways of living well together. In service of this vision, Babbitt presents the richness of philosophical ideas in the largely ignored works of José Martí and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara and then puts these ideas to work in a powerful critique of standard liberal assumptions about what it means to flourish as a human being. The book is a must read for philosophers, political theorists, and development ethicists who would like to challenge or expand their conceptions of Cuba - as well as the meaning of freedom, democracy, human rights, liberalism, capitalism, Marxism, 'developed', and 'developing'.' - Christine Koggel, Carleton University, Canada This book argues that the overlooked ideas of José Martí and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara explain recent politics in Latin America and the Caribbean but also, even more significantly, offer a defensible alternative direction for global development ethics.

Evaluating Emotions Eva-Maria Düringer, Department of Philosophy, University of Tübingen, Germany How are emotions related to values?

ETHICS AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY Economics in Spirit and Truth

Love and Its Objects

A Moral Philosophy of Finance

What Can We Care For?

Nimi Wariboko, Andover Newton Theological School, USA "Many philosophers and theologians rail against the neoliberal global economy but fail to provide any substantive solutions in response. Nimi Wariboko shows us how to live in but yet not be of our late modern financial systems. He invites us to exercise our freedom not merely to participate in the consumer market but to critically engage and resist its demands for conformity through an ethic of counter-predictability. Economists, philosophers, and theologians ought to attend to this clarion call to live authentically and (for religious people) faithfully amidst the volatility of the present capitalist regime." - Amos Yong, Professor of Theology and Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary, USA "Economics in Spirit and Truth builds on Wariboko's previous work, including God and Money. Here he analyzes the complex inner logic of finance capitalism, and draws on Pentecostal theology as well as Agamben's philosophy of potentiality to develop an ethics of antifragility. This is an extremely provocative synthesis, one that offers tools to think and practice a genuine care of the soul." - Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas, USA Wariboko offers a critical-philosophical perspective on the logics and dynamics of finance capital in the twenty-first century in order to craft a model of the care of the soul that will enable citizens to not only better negotiate their economic existences and moral evaluations within it, but also resist its negative impact on social life.

Edited by Christoph Luetge, Technische Universitat Munchen, Germany, Hannes Rusch, Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany, Matthias Uhl, Technische Universitat Munchen, Germany Moral philosophy is no longer being pursued from arm-chairs. Instead, ethical questions are dissected in the experimental lab. This volume enables its readers to immerse themselves into Experimental Ethics' history, its current topics and future perspectives, its methodology, and the criticism it is subject to.

Sami Pihlström, University of Helsinki, Finland While moral philosophy has traditionally been understood as an examination of the good life, this book argues that ethical inquiry should, rather, begin from an examination of evil and other 'negative' moral concepts, such as guilt and suffering.

Making Sense of Evil An Interdisciplinary Approach Melissa Dearey, University of Hull, UK

THEOLOGY

When it comes to crime, everyone seems to take evil seriously as an explanatory concept - except criminologists. This book asks why, and why not, through exploring a variety of interdisciplinary approaches to evil from the perspectives of theology, philosophy, literary and cultural studies, and the social sciences.

Theology of Migration in the Abrahamic Religions Edited by Elaine Padilla, New York Theological Seminary, USA, Peter C. Phan, Georgetown University, USA "In an age when so many millions of people have been displaced by war, economic and climate catastrophe, and criminals taking over entire nations, this book could hardly be more timely. Its authors bring into relief the rich traditions of the three Abrahamic faiths in order to erect a spiritual and theological foundation for those who seek to open the minds and hearts of peoples and nations that are given the opportunity to welcome immigrants. They have given us a marvelous resource to use in classrooms, churches, and study groups." - William R. Burrows , Senior Fellow, Andrew Walls Center for the Study of Christianity in Africa and Asia, Liverpool Hope University, UK This book provides an indispensable voice in the scholarly conversation on migration. It shows how migration has shaped and has been shaped by the three Abrahamic religions - -Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. No theory of migration will be complete unless the theological insights of these religions are seriously taken into account.

THEOLOGY Colonial Contexts and Postcolonial Theologies

A Contemporary Theology for Ecumenical Peace

Storyweaving in the Asia-Pacific

James E. Will, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary ‘This book is one of indispensable resources for the Christian commitment to peace witness and praxis in the present day when there is no peace while promises of peace are rampant, and when the church has fallen into the individualistic, church-centric, and nationalistic civil religion while having lost the vision of the peace of the Kingdom of God.’ -Chul Ho Youn, Professor of Systematic Theology at Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary, Korea. ‘From ‘Father Abraham,’ to President Abraham Lincoln and beyond, Professor Will eloquently traces a profoundly moving and inspirational theological motif that he finds common to all three of the Abrahamic religious traditions. In this compassionate vision, God's Love for the World provides the spiritual energy for establishing Justice, while inviting all of Creation to participate relationally with God and with one another, in a continuous historical act of co-creation, whose end will finally be realized through establishing that 'Just Peace on Earth' which most fully embodies the structure of God's Love for the World. This inspiring vision offers hope to all, and guidance to peace-makers in fulfilling their mission of faith and love through establishing peace with justice.’ - Dr. George R. Lucas, Jr. (Ph.D.), Stockdale Professor of Moral Philosophy, U.S. Naval Academy & U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, USA.

CHRISTIANITY Modernism and Christianity

CHRISTIANITY

The Holy Spirit and the Christian Life Historical, Interdisciplinary, and Renewal Perspectives Edited by Wolfgang Vondey, School of Divinity at Regent University, USA 'Nothing less than a new and highly promising field of interdisciplinary investigation is announced with the launching of the series CHARIS: Christianity and Renewal – Interdisciplinary Studies. This inaugural volume of constructive studies on the phenomenon of renewal focusing on Christian tradition promises a research program which considers the meaning of 'transforming dimension of the Spiritual Presence' not only in other faith traditions but also everywhere in the created order. A highly innovative and creative enterprise, this book is required reading for all interested in the Spirit/-uality in the contemporary world.' - Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Professor of Systematic Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary and Docent of Ecumenics, University of Helsinki, Finland. ‘This book launches a new series devoted to interdisciplinary studies of Christianity and Renewal, initially by exploring interdisciplinary inquiry within theology—hermeneutical, historical, constructive, homiletic, and practical. These studies accentuate the transformative power of the Spirit at work in communities, and the transgressive power of this Spirit opening new pathways at the margins. These richly textured analyses promote pneumatological approaches that serve the interest of renewal movements on a global scale as they lay the groundwork for a wider range of interdisciplinary inquiry.’ - Brad Hinze, Professor, The Karl Rahner Chair in Theology, Fordham University, USA. ‘A rich and diverse assortment of essays from seasoned and newer scholars, this book offers a fresh look at how the Spirit is at work amongst us. Those who mine its pages will certainly come away with insight and inspiration. An exceptional collection to treasure.’ - Lisa P. Stephenson, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Lee University, USA.

Erik Tonning, University of Bergen, Norway "This is that rare thing: a truly revisionary critical study of Modernism. For the past half century, the role of Christianity in Anglo-Modernist literature has been played down as irrelevant in a secular age - an age looking for "replacement" religions in its attempted rupture with the past. But the presence of Christian imagery, iconography, and dogma in shaping Modernist texts from Joyce to Beckett cannot be ignored. Erik Tonning shows that, even when overt stances toward Christian dogma were negative, the key issues raised by Christian thought could hardly be avoided. Indeed, he suggests, it was Christianity itself that helped to shape the particular tensions we think of as characteristically Modernist. In provocative and persuasive chapters on Joyce and David Jones, on Eliot, Pound and Auden, and finally on Beckett, Tonning shows the way to a more nuanced, more just understanding of the Modernist ethos." - Marjorie Perloff, Professor Emerita of English at Stanford University, USA "The author brilliantly sustains a provocative thesis, that the whole field of studies in Modernism needs to be re-thought from the perspective of the impact of Christianity on this movement. With a rare ease and expert range of reference, Dr Tonning combines a sensitivity to the theological tradition with original research into the modernist writers he selects. In his commentary new insights continually emerge, and he carries through convincingly his argument that a movement dedicated to cultural and epochal transformation must necessarily engage with the cultural and political force of Christianity. This exciting and erudite study will be similarly transformative for both literary criticism and historical theology of the twentieth century." - Paul Fiddes, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Oxford, UK By theorising the idea of 'formative tensions' between cultural Modernism and Christianity, and by in-depth case studies of James Joyce, David Jones, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden, Samuel Beckett, the book argues that no coherent account of Modernism can ignore the continuing impact of Christianity. Contents: 1.

ISLAMIC STUDIES Making the British Muslim

ISLAMIC STUDIES

Representations of the Rushdie Affair and Figures of the War-OnTerror Decade

Islam and Controversy The Politics of Free Speech After Rushdie

Nicole Falkenhayner, University of Freiburg, Germany

Anshuman A. Mondal, Brunel University, UK "A highly perceptive analysis of the grounds and moral - but not necessarily legal - limits of free speech. It both retains and goes beyond the important insights of liberalism. Its theoretical discussion enriches and is in turn enriched by a shrewd analysis of concrete cases. A most welcome and timely book." — Lord Bhikhu Parekh, author of 'The Parekh Report: The Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain' and 'Rethinking Multiculturalism' "In contrast to much journalism and commentary on these issues, this is an important, reasoned and patient account of these inflammatory matters. Mondal's book is crucial reading for those interested not only in the work and impact of Salman Rushdie, not only for those working in contemporary literature more widely, but also those with a concern for issues of freedom, expression and the future of cosmopolitan and multicultural democracy." — Professor Robert Eaglestone, Professor of Contemporary Literature and Thought, Royal Holloway, University of London At the heart of this important book is the question, what is free speech for? Is it an end in itself? Or does it serve a higher purpose, such as safeguarding democracy, as is often claimed? In a brilliant, forensic analysis of some of the rhetoric around freedom and offence, Mondal asks how notions of a good and fair society can possibly be furthered by the deliberate denigration of a portion of its membership. Recognising ethics as central to the proper exercise of rights, he calls for an 'ethics of propriety' in writing and reading where mutual obligations are acknowledged. Through detailed readings of controversies such as the Satanic Verses affair, the Danish cartoon controversy, the outrage caused by the novel, The Jewel of Medina, and comedy films which have flirted with the sacred and the blasphemous, Mondal charts the dead-ends reached by conventional interpretations, while suggesting more fruitful ways to write, read and understand.

Moroccan Feminist Discourses Fatima Sadiqi, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University, Morocco "A valuable book, exploring and opening up a new and important terrain." - Leila Ahmed, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Divinity, Harvard University, USA "It is no accident that one of the foremost advocates of the Berber language is also a central voice in feminist scholarship in Morocco. Sadiqi weaves together the parallel stories of the Berber legacy and the rising tide of women's rights, demonstrating how both interacted with Islam to become enshrined in the new constitution during the 'Moroccan Spring' of 2011. In her inimitable voice, she adds her personal journey, reminding us that feminism remains an unfinished story." - Ann Braude, Director of the Women's Studies in Religion Program, Harvard University, USA Both a scholarly and personal critique of current feminist Moroccan discourses, this book is a call for a larger-than-Islam framework that accommodates the Berber dimension. Sadiqi argues that current feminist discourse, both secular and Islamic ones, are not only divergent but limit the rich heritage, knowledge, and art of Berber women. Contents: Introduction * 1. The Berber Challenge * 2. The Historicity of Berber Women’s Agency * 3. Sources of Authority in Moroccan Culture * 4. Secular and Islamic Feminist Discourses * 5. The Berber Dimension

ISLAMIC STUDIES Authority without Territory The Aga Khan Development Network and the Ismaili Imamate Daryoush Mohammad Poor, Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK "This original study reveals in a scholarly manner, and within an interesting theoretical framework, how the present Nizari Ismaili Imam has succeeded in bestowing aspects of the authority of the Imam to the office of the Imamate, transcending the Weberian boundaries of ideal types of authority. This has resulted in the institutionalisation of what the author calls 'authority without territory.' The author also meticulously examines the network of the institutions created and legitimised by the present Imam, known as the Aga Khan Development Network." - Dr. Farhad Daftary, Co-Director of The Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK Examining the connection between the concept of authority and the transformation of the Ismaili imamate, Authority without Territory is the first study of the imamate in contemporary times with a particular focus on Aga Khan, the 49th hereditary leader of Shi’a Imami Ismaili Muslims.

Islamic Reform and Colonial Discourse on Modernity in India Socio-Political and Religious Thought of Vakkom Moulavi Jose Abraham, Concordia University, USA "Jose Abraham has succeeded in capturing an important moment within the encounter between colonialism and the world of religions, in this case Islam in Kerala." -Kiran Sebastian, H. George Anderson Professor of Mission and Cultures, the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, USA.

Homosexualities, Muslim Cultures and Modernity Momin Rahman, Trent University, Canada "Momin's book is one of the best analysis of homosexuality and modern Muslim identity to appear recently. While the book is an in depth look at the current debates about Muslims and modernity, its theoretical tools are fundamental to understanding the complex notion of modernity. It reminded me of Timothy Mitchel's The Colonization of Egypt. Momin's book is a comprehensive work, exhaustively researched, judicious in its assessment and sets forth a theoretical model that will alter the way we understand Muslim modernity.An outstanding work. Its implications go to the heart of the debate about what modernity means." - Walid Saleh, Professor of Islamic Studies, University of Toronto, Canada This book addresses the increasing role of queer politics within forms of Islamophobia, both by exploring the framing of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues as a key marker of western superiority and by identifying the ways in which Muslim homophobia contributes to this dialectic. Contents: 1. In Search of My Mother’s Garden: Reflections on Migration, Gender, Sexuality and Muslim Identity * 2. Islam versus Homosexuality as Modernity * 3.

JUDAIC STUDIES Theology and Creed in Sunni Islam The Muslim Brotherhood, Ash'arism, and Political Sunnism

Now available in paperback

Jeffry R. Halverson, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Coastal Carolina University, USA "This is a well-written and interesting book. It deals with the role, or rather the lack of role according to the author, of theology in the modern Islamic world, particularly in the thought of the radical Islamist movements and their leading thinkers, and is skeptical of the possibilities of a modern revival of theological thought. It is an important account of the topic and the topic itself is important. It should be used in courses on Islamic studies, the US and the Middle East, and also in theology, as there is tremendous interest in this issue today." - Oliver Leaman, Professor of Philosophy, University of Kentucky, USA.

Models of Understanding Alan Brill, Department of Religion, Seton Hall University, USA "It is exciting to see that this book of Jewish philosophy goes beyond the frameworks of Orthodox, Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Reform Judaism. This book is especially appropriate for students, teachers and professors of Jewish thought and for any reader with a philosophical background preparing for interfaith dialogue." - Jewish Book Council "An important book both in terms of scholarship and vision, Brill's book surveys Judaism's wide-ranging attitude toward other faiths as well as non-Jews in general. While an important piece of scholarship, the book is not merely an academic exercise. Brill recognizes the difficulties in many traditional sources (some of them extremely disturbing) that conflict with the ethics and reality of twenty-first century Judaism. Rather than sweep these passages under the rug, Brill outlines strategies for Jews who want to remain true to traditional sources while interacting with the other 99.75% of the world. Brill's writing is concise and clear." - Daniel Scheide, Association of Jewish Libraries Book Review, USA Brill collects and comments on statements in Jewish texts about other traditions, bringing together presentations of over one hundred medieval and early modern Jewish thinkers.

Exploring Meaningful Spaces at the Intersection of the Humanities and Sciences Edited by Mark K. George, Iliff School of Theology, USA, Daria Pezzoli-Olgiati, University of Zurich, Switzerland "Addressed both to practitioners and scholars, this highly unusual and significant book opens with a theoretical exploration of space as it is interrelated to religion in generating meaning in human life.

I was glad to accept the author's imaginative opening invitation to walk with 'Callistus' and ponder the paintings of 'Dionysus' for a vivid fourdimensional experience of early Christian catacomb painting." - Elizabeth Struthers Malbon, Professor, Religion and Culture, Virginia Tech, USA and author of The Iconography of the Sarcophagus of Junius Bassus: NEOFITVS ITT AD DEVM

RELIGION AND HISTORY Reason and Faith in the Theology of Charles Hodge

Black Theology as Mass Movement

Black Theology as Mass Movement, Howard

American Common Sense Realism

Charles L. Howard, University of Pennsylvania, USA ‘This book introduces a new generation to the creativity that is Black Theology. By demonstrating that its organic connection to the cultural and material realities of Black communities is the heart of Black Theology, Howard is able to make connections between the contemporary voice of Black cultural creativity - Hip-hop, and the rich theological heritage of Black Folks. For anyone interested in the new directions of Black Theology and the theological promise of Hip Hop Culture, this is THE book.’

Owen Anderson, School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies at Arizona State University, USA ‘Anderson offers a good, clear description of Hodge's writings on reason, common sense, general revelation, the knowledge of God and of the self, and several other related topics. This is a fine piece of work that will bring clarity for many to the study of natural theology, especially, at Old Princeton.’ - Douglas A. Sweeney, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA Charles Hodge engaged the leading thinkers of his day to defend the human ability to know God. This involved him in affirming the importance of both orthodoxy and piety in the life of a Christian. His work involved expanding on the insights of the Westminster Confession of Faith as it applied to the theory of salvation and the role of Christ. Contents: 1. Introductory * 2.

Classics at the Dawn of the Museum Era The Life and Times of Antoine Chrysostome Quatremère de Quincy (1755-1849) Louis A. Ruprecht Jr., Georgia State University, USA ‘Museum Studies is coming into its own as a field of academic inquiry, and so it is a great pleasure to read Professor Ruprecht's latest contribution to the branch of intellectual and cultural history he has been making his own. Quatremere is fortunate in his most recent biographer: As always, Ruprecht writes with verve and elegance, demonstrating a erudite and subtle understanding of the way the arts of modern civilization — along with its manifold discontents created not only the modern Museum, but also our conflicted attitudes towards the treasures it obtains, contains, and conserves.’ – Lori Anne Ferrell, Professor of Early Modern History and Literature, Claremont University, USA Ruprecht hopes to show that Quatremère's true importance emerges only if we situate him in his own times, one generation after Winckelmann, in a very different, and a far more revolutionary and secularizing cultural moment.

The Charismatic City and the Public Resurgence of Religion A Pentecostal Social Ethics of Cosmopolitan Urban Life Nimi Wariboko, Andover Newton Theological School, USA "Nimi Wariboko performs in his writing the explosive energy and affective effervescence that characterize his not yet/already New Jerusalem. The Charismatic City as book, as concept, and as living place bursts through the networks and rhizomes of a new Pentecostal cosmopolitics. Inasmuch as it links the liveliest global Christianity to interreligious and ecological ethics, I find its charism stunning, unexpected, and somehow crucial to the work of postsecular political theology." - Catherine Keller, Professor, Constructive Theology, Drew Theological School, USA and author of On the Mystery: Discerning Divinity in Process (2008) "Wariboko's The Charismatic City and the Public Resurgence of Religion is a powerful meditation on the intersection of Pentecostal existence and urban existence. This is not a sociological or geographic study but it will greatly inform such studies by offering a very lively and theological rich reflection on the multiple meanings of embodied life in cities, especially cities in and outside the United States. I know of no other text that reflects on African Pentecostal urban life with such breath and sophistication. This will be a book that will be referred to and commented on for many years." - Willie James Jennings, Associate Professor, Theology, Black Church Studies, Duke Divinity School, USA "Fifty years after The Secular City it was time for a sequel to appear, one that would both update and focus the structural changes in religion, politics, and the economy that have rattled and transformed life on earth. This eloquent and readable book does just that. Closely in touch with global trends, the growing Charismatic-Pentecostal movement, and the restless hunger of the human spirit, Wariboko has given us a penetrating work that no thoughtful reader can afford to miss." - Harvey Cox, author of The Secular City (1965) and The Future of Faith (2009) Two powerful and interrelated transnational cultural expressions mark our epoch, Charismatic spirituality and global city. This book demonstrates how these two forces can be used to inform ethical design of cities and their common social lives to best support human flourishing, spirituality, and social and ecological wellbeing of their residents.

RELIGION AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Sustainable Civilization

RELIGION AND CULTURE RELIGION AND CULTURE

Klaas Van Egmond, Utrecht University, Netherlands 'The current disastrous impasse in global society has resulted from pursuing policies justified by a worldview that is no longer relevant … Sustainable Civilization offers an alternative. It lays out a novel and useful framework for describing paradigms. It discusses the options that are realistically available to us and offers guidelines for more effective policies.' – Dennis Meadows, author of Limits to Growth

Theological Reflections on “Gangnam Style” A Racial, Sexual, and Cultural Critique Joseph Cheah, University of Saint Joseph, USA, Grace Ji-Sun Kim, Georgetown University, USA "Are we 'laughing at' or 'laughing with' Psy? Reflecting on the work and depiction of Park Jae-sang in 'Gangnam Style,' Cheah and Kim capture us with this question. Arguing persuasively that we do both, they explore how people of Asian descent have been marginalized by racial stereotypes even as they have made use of them to shape their own emerging identities. This book will inspire any one of us who reads it to pause at the interface between cultural expectation and personal integrity, and there attend to how we view others, how they view us, and how we view ourselves. - Cynthia L. Rigby, W.C. Brown Professor of Theology, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, USA

In order to be sustainable, a civilization must maintain the balance between 'mind' and 'matter' and between the egocentric 'I' and 'the others'.

RELIGION AND CULTURE After Mindfulness

Queering Migrations Towards, From, and Beyond Asia

New Perspectives on Psychology and Meditation Edited by Manu Bazzano, University of Roehampton "Bazzano has done much to further a deeper understanding of mindfulness for therapy, in part by refusing to allow it to languish in a psychotherapeutic ghetto or rest complacently in a cloister... Though it remains unclear what mindfulness will become, some intriguing indications of its future can be found in this necessary and timely book." - Self & Society "Draws a distinction between 'problem-solving' and 'spiritual' mindfulness." - The Church Times "As a genuine attempt to explore an antidote to 'the literalism of McMindfulness as a quick fix for the anxieties of late-capitalist society', this collection is almost ahead of its time: a new wave of conversations that ironically hark back to pure origins concerned with our wholehearted presence, could now be seen as controversial in our 'mindful' fix it quick culture. The collection deftly draws upon ideas from Buddhism, Philosophy, Psychology, Culture and Psychotherapy and Bazzano demonstrates his adeptness to select, collate and create a rich and harmonious choir of contemporary voices for our consumption." - Julie Webb, The Natural Health Centre, UK "This book is a tour-de-force that explores the meeting of mindfulness and psychology/psychotherapy. Its editor, Manu Bazzano, and the other authors are united in their insistence that mindfulness is not just an add-on to psychotherapeutic work; rather, it is a way of being that is central to the psychotherapeutic process." - Therapy Today This collection of essays by leading exponents of contemporary Buddhism and psychotherapy brings together appreciation and critical evaluation of Mindfulness, a phenomenon that has swept the mental health field over the last two decades. The sheer diversity and depth of expertise assembled here illuminate the current presentation of Mindfulness. Contents: Foreword Manu Bazzano * PART I: MINDFULNESS IN CONTEXT * 1.

Her authorial voice drives readers through a very interesting personal and theoretical journey across literatures in religious studies, anthropology, aesthetics, marketing, and consumer research that puts the book at the center of body, gender, and the lived experience of mysticism." - Diego Rinallo, Associate Professor, Marketing and Consumer Culture, Kedge Business School, France and co-author of Consumption and Spirituality (2012) Dance has proliferated in movies, television, Internet, and retail spaces while the spiritual power of dance has also been linked with mass consumption.

LITERATURE AND RELIGION Blake and the Methodists

A Queering of Black Theology

Michael Farrell, independent scholar, UK

James Baldwin's Blues Project and Gospel Prose

Exploring the work of William Blake within the context of Methodism – the largest 'dissenting' religious group during his lifetime – this book contributes to ongoing critical debates surrounding Blake's religious affinities by suggesting that, contrary to previous thinking, Blake held sympathies with certain aspects of Methodism.

EL Kornegay Jr., Chicago Theological Seminary, USA ‘EL Kornegay, Jr's A Queering of Black Theology performs for the reader as it plays an enchanting and griping song out of the primary writings from James Baldwin. No author has delved into Baldwin's raw cords of prophecy and pain to harmonize a hope out of race, sex, and religion. Every now and then a writer offers us a new song to sing, a new tune to hum. Kornegay has coopted Baldwin into his band of pioneering blues-jazz-soul knowledge.’ - Dwight N. Hopkins, co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to Black Theology

This book is captivating, insightful, and incredibly thoughtprovoking. Whether you're fairly new to the comics medium or have (like me) studied it all your life, you'll find that Lewis illuminates the subject in a light you've never before seen or considered, and it's delightfully revelatory." - Mark Waid, writer for Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Superman: Birthright, Kingdom Come, and Thrillbent's Empire "A unique and fascinating look into the metaphysics of the comic book world." - J.M.

The Rise and Fall of a Political Alliance Philip Mendes, Monash University, Australia 'Philip Mendes charts the rise and fall of the alliance through the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 to its decline in the 20th century and a possible shift to the Right – key factors being the Holocaust (''which destroyed the Jewish Left constituency''), Soviet persecution in the 1950s, the 1967 Six Day War and the consequent shift from the Left's previous support for the state of Israel to today's ongoing debate.' -Steven Carroll, The Sydney Morning Herald 'In charting the evolution of left-wing ideas about Jews from the French Revolution onward and Jews' natural affinity for left-wing politics, Mendes traverses familiar terrain but he does so with succinct, learned aplomb.' - Tibor Krausz, The Jerusalem Report The historical involvement of Jews in the political Left is well known, but far less attention has been paid to the political and ideological factors which attracted Jews to the Left. After the Holocaust and the creation of Israel many lost their faith in universalistic solutions, yet lingering links between Jews and the Left continue to exist. Contents: Introduction * 1. The Beginnings of the Jewish Attraction to the Left * 2. Anti-Semitism and Support for Jewish Rights: an Analysis of Socialist Attitudes to the Jews * 3. Socialism, Zionism and the State of Israel * 4. From the Universalist to the Particular: Examining the Extent of Jewish Involvement in the Political Left * 5.

Exceptions to the Rule: the Continuing Prominence of Left-wing Jews in the PostWorld War Two Period * 8. Left-wing Jewish Critics of Zionism and Israel * 9. Conclusion

This book invokes the radical potentialities of 'untidiness' to envision alternative arrangements of social life and hospitality. Instead of trying to manage sustainability or tidy up tourist situations, the authors embrace the messiness of human relations and argue for more creative, embodied and ethical ontologies of tourism and mobility.

RELIGION AND POLITICS Mitt Romney, Mormonism, and the 2012 Election

Presidential Faith and Foreign Policy Jimmy Carter the Disciple and Ronald Reagan the Alchemist

Luke Perry, Utica College, USA. This book seeks to address the question of how we should understand the impact of Mitt Romney's faith in the 2012 election. As the first Mormon to earn a presidential nomination from a major party, the book provides a comprehensive study of Romney's historic candidacy.

William Steding, Southern Methodist University, USA Steding argues that Carter and Reagan's ‘cognetic narratives,’ shaped by their religious faith and values, can help explain some of their most important their foreign-policy decisions. The research is impressive and the argument novel. It will certainly provoke debate among historians, but Presidential Faith and Foreign Policy more than holds its own. - Andrew Preston, Cambridge University

Religion, Power, and Resistance from the Eleventh to the Sixteenth Centuries Playing the Heresy Card Edited by Karen Bollermann, Arizona State University, USA, Thomas M. Izbicki, Rutgers University, USA, Cary J. Nederman, Texas A&M University, USA Addressing the myriad ways in which heresy accusations could fulfill political aims during the Middle Ages, this collection shows acts of heresy were not just influenced by religion. Essays examine individual cases, in addition to the close relationship of orthodoxy and political dominance in medieval games of power.

RELIGION AND POLITICS Ethnographic Theology

The Rule of Law and the Rule of God

An Inquiry into the Production of Theological Knowledge Natalie Wigg-Stevenson, Emmanuel College, University of Toronto, Canada "Theological page-turners are rare, but Natalie WiggStevenson's debut outing is just that. In addition to being substantively rich, this book is a pleasure to read: creative, moving, and deeply honest in a risky way, combining an impressive theoretical grounding with an authentically pastoral sensibility. It engages head-on the unresolved challenge of how theology relates to those whose world in both the academy and the church. This is a discipline-defining work from a major new voice." - Serene Jones, President, Union Theological Seminary, USA This book uses ethnography as theological practice, yielding a theology constructed at the intersection of church, academy and everyday life. Drawing on the author's research in her Baptist church, the resulting 'ethnographic theology' produces creative theological insights, while also proposing fresh alternatives for Christian thought and action.

Wilson Parker, Wake Forest University School of Law, USA "Conference proceedings rarely make good books, but this is the happy exception. Ilesanmi and his colleagues have brought together a scintillating set of papers that focus, for the most part, on those areas of actual and potential conflict between shari'a and the demands of liberal democracy. This is a rich interdisciplinary collection that is sure to surprise and illuminate all sides." - G. Scott Davis, Lewis T. Booker Professor of Religion and Ethics, University of Richmond, USA This book examines the competing regimes of law and religion and offers a multidisciplinary approach to demonstrate the global scope of their influence. It argues that the tension between these two institutions results from their disagreements about the kinds of rule that should govern human life and society, and from where they should be derived.

Churches, Blackness, and Contested Multiculturalism

James Baldwin’s Understanding of God Overwhelming Desire and Joy

Europe, Africa, and North America

Josiah Ulysses Young III, Wesley Theological Seminary, USA "Young leads readers through a labyrinth of Baldwin's most intimate yet public reflections on the America he knew through a life marked by the tensions between alienation and desire, foreclosure, and yearning. Like the subject of this volume, Young is incisive, somber, candid and loving as he extends Baldwin's vision that 'artists . . . must tell the truth . . . make a confession, and thus surface those dilemmas and secrets that have to do with who we truly are as human beings.' Moreover, he analyzes the virtues underlying such an expensive and fragile vision, associating Baldwin's aesthetic sensibilities with a rare yet desperately needed insight into the sacred." - Dianne M. Stewart, Associate Professor, Religion and African American Studies, Emory University, USA

Edited by R. Drew Smith, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, USA, William Ackah, Birkbeck, University of London, UK, Anthony G.

Lee, The Ethical Foundations Early Daoism The Ethical Foundations of EarlyofDaoism, Lee

Jung H. Lee, Northeastern University, USA ‘This is an elegant study of one of the world’s most insightful, original, and inspiring thinkers. Lee does a fine job weaving various strands of the Zhuangzi into a unified vision of human beings in harmony with or as he aptly puts it ‘attuned to’ the Dao. His reading offers a compelling and immensely important alternative to traditional Confucian and modern western interpreters who attempt to portray Zhuangzi as an amoralist unconcerned with values and indifferent to the world.’ -Philip J. Ivanhoe, Director of the Center for East Asian and Comparative Philosophy (CEACOP), City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Kelly Brown Douglas, Goucher College, USA. ‘A a must-read, full of theological insights about personal God-consciousness and prophetic religious vitality embedded in the heavy-hearted music genre, the blues.’ - Katie G. Cannon, Union Presbyterian Seminary, USA ‘This book will provoke new conversations and revive old ones about the nature and relevance of the Black Church and its engagements with theodicy. Black Bodies and the Black Church is a serious moving train that will allow no neutrality for its readers.’ - Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Professor, Colby College, USA ‘Once again, Kelly Brown Douglas brilliantly, creatively, and powerfully exposes the unholy alliance between the Black Church and internalized forms of class, gender, and sexual oppression.’ - Reverend Dr. Dennis Wiley, Covenant Baptist United Church of Christ, Washington, D.C., USA Blues is absolutely vital to black theological reflection and to the black church's existence. In Black Bodies and the Black Church, author Kelly Douglas Brown develops a blues crossroad theology, which allows the black church to remain true to itself and relevant in black lives.

Possessing Spirits and Healing Selves Embodiment and Transformation in an Afro-Brazilian Religion Rebecca Seligman, Northwestern University, USA "Rebecca Seligman explores the transformations of subjectivity, self and identity central to becoming a spirit medium. Through the concept of "biolooping", she brings culture and biology into dialogue to show how knowledge, body practices, and cultural scripts work together to create new versions of selfhood and forms of moral life with healing potential. Anyone seeking deeper understanding and an integrative view of the meanings and functions of dissociative experience in religion and healing will find this work richly rewarding." - Laurence J. Kirmayer, James McGill Professor and Director, Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry, McGill University, Canada Spirit possession involves the displacement of a human's conscious self by a powerful other who temporarily occupies the human's body. Here, Seligman shows that spirit possession represents a site for understanding fundamental aspects of human experience, especially those involved with interactions among meaning, embodiment, and subjectivity.

The Ethnopoetics of Shamanism Marcel de Lima, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil "In The Ethnopoetics of Shamanism, Marcel de Lima gives us the clearest and most complete account of what some of us, in the last years of the second millennium, were speaking of as a new 'ethnopoetics' that would change forever the dimensions of what we had spoken of before this as poetry and art. Whatever the final outcome of that questing, this is for now the definitive book to read as a telling of what came before and may still follow after" - Jerome Rothenberg, Professor Emeritus, University of California, San Diego, USA

‘Honour’ Killing and Violence

A Womanist Pastoral Theology Against Intimate and Cultural Violence Stephanie M. Crumpton, Lancaster Theological Seminary, USA "Stephanie M. Crumpton's contribution to womanist pastoral theology is invaluable, and her attention to the narratives of Black women's lived experience is exquisite and carefully conveyed." - Phillis Isabella Sheppard, Associate Professor, Religion, Culture and Psychology, Vanderbilt Divinity School, USA

Theory, Policy and Practice Edited by Aisha K. Gill, University of Roehampton, UK, Carolyn Strange, Australian National University, Karl Roberts, Macquarie University, UK "The chapters in 'Honour' Killing and Violence bring an invaluable, interdisciplinary perspective to a topic that incites debates characterized more by heat than light. The contributors to this volume do not shy away from these controversies, which is what makes this volume so timely. At the same time, they do not allow those controversies to limit their analyses to well-trod ground and blind alleys, which is why the volume is so illuminating. The chapters rely on original empirical evidence and argumentation informed by anthropology, criminology, legal reasoning, history, political science, and psychology to urge a multi-level, multi-causal approach to understanding honour violence and responses to it. No matter how much you think you know about 'honour' based violence, you will learn something new and question some of your assumptions about it by reading this book." - Rosemary Gartner, University of Toronto, Canada In this interdisciplinary collection leading experts and scholars from criminology, psychology, law and history provide a compelling analysis of practices and beliefs that lead to violence against women, men and children in the name 'honour'.

GENDER, SEXUALITY, AND RELIGION Sexuality and New Religious Movements Edited by Henrik Bogdan, Department of History of Ideas, Literature, and Religion, at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, James R. Lewis, University of Tromsø, Norway "Sex is not just sex. As anyone who has deeply engaged the history of religions knows, human sexuality runs the gamut from the most mundane fetish or fantasy to the profundities of charismatic authority, mystical experience, discarnate erotic encounter, alien abduction, even human deification. The essayists in this new volume demonstrate this still ill-understood truth in abundance and with astonishing historical and psychological detail. They thus take us further down the road toward a genuine understanding of our real situation in this weird, weird world." - Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of Roads of Excess, Palaces of Wisdom: Reflexivity and Eroticism in the Study of Mysticism This anthology brings together leading scholars in the field of New Religious Movements to critically investigate the role of sexuality in some of the most wellknown new religious movements.

Power and Sainthood The Case of Birgitta of Sweden Päivi Salmesvuori, University of Helsinki, Finland "Focused and meticulously researched, Power and Sainthood addresses the idea of holiness in action as St. Birgitta began to assert her authority in the formative years of her life as a mystic and visionary. Salmesvuori gives a grounded view of what Birgitta was like as both a woman and human being, but - very wisely - stops short of making any generalized character judgments . . . A truly interesting take on Birgitta." - Bridget Morris, Independent Scholar, York, UK

Transhumanism and the Body The World Religions Speak Edited by Calvin Mercer, East Carolina University, Derek F. Maher, East Carolina University "It's time for religious folks to take a look at their bodies. Just how valuable is our body? It's time to ask this, because transhumanists are proposing a more highly evolved bodiless existence. Mercer and Maher ask us: do we really want to go there?" - Ted Peters, Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences, Graduate Theological Union, USA "Technological progress entails manipulating nature for our own ends, so is easily seen by people of faith as challenging the wisdom of the Creator. But were we not created with the ability and desire to engage in technology? Was it a sin to develop fire, or medicine? These essays will forcefully reassure readers that further technological progress, even if sometimes burdened with the unnecessarily scary label 'transhumanism,' will also be God's work." - Aubrey de Grey, Chief Science Officer, SENS Research Foundation, UK This collection of original articles, a sequel of sorts to the 2009 Religion and the Implications of Radical Life Extension (Palgrave Macmillan), is the first sustained reflection, by scholars with expertise in the faith traditions, on how the transhumanist agenda might impact the body.

Pindar Richard Stoneman, University of Exeter, UK

Forever Fluid

"In this wide-ranging and stimulating treatment, Richard Stoneman offers a richly detailed and imaginative survey of Pindar’s poetry as well as a very welcome foray into his influence on the European lyric tradition from the Renaissance to Romanticism. The book provides a passionate and at the same time very accessible introduction to a difficult subject and will be of undoubted interest not only to undergraduate students but also, more generally, to readers attracted to one of the greatest poets of antiquity." Giambattista D’Alessio, King’s College London, UK

A Reading of Luce Irigaray’s Elemental Passions Hanneke Canters, University of Groningen, Netherlands, Grace M. Jantzen, University of Manchester, UK “There are a number of studies of Irigaray’s work, but none quite like this one. It touches upon a major philosophical/religious problematic concerning representation itself.” - Graham Ward, Manchester University, UK Forever Fluid is the first English commentary on Luce Irigaray’s important text, Elemental Passions. It provides a lively alternative to the binary logic that runs through western culture, showing how sexual difference enables appreciation of difference of all kinds.

The author examines questions of performance and genre; patronage; imagery; and reception, beginning with Horace.

The Religious Philosophy of Simone Weil An Introduction

Heather Walton, University of Glasgow, UK Lissa McCullough, independent scholar, USA “A landmark work.

Esposito, Georgetown University, USA Christian-Muslim dialogue grows increasingly important today, but little is known about individual Muslim thinkers from the 20th century. Charles D.

JUDAIC STUDIES

Al-Azhar and the Evolution of Modern Sunni Islam Indira Falk Gesink, Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, USA "Indira Gesink’s deeply researched study on alAzhar reform sheds new light on a major chapter in the history of modern Islam...Gesink’s book most certainly deserves the attention of readers interested in modern Islamic institutions and thought along with specialists on Egypt." – David Commins, Professor of History, Dickinson College; author of The Wahhabi Mission and Saudi Arabia (I.B.Tauris 2006) The famed reform debates at al-Azhar Madrasa in nineteenth-century Cairo – one of the most influential centers of religious study in Sunni Islam – were enormously influential for twentieth-century Islamic thought. In this book Indira Gesink argues that narratives of these debates overemphasize the roles of famous modernists like Muhammad ‘Abduh, obscuring important themes. By restoring conservative voices to the debate, she shows that conservative ‘ulama engaged many of the same issues as reformers and led committees that generated and implemented reforms; ultimately, conservative leaders at al-Azhar provided crucial legitimacy for the reforms to become rooted in public life. Drawing on obscure, but important, archival sources to illustrate the important contributions of conservative scholars to the evaluation of twentieth-century Sunni Islam, Islamic Reform and Conservatism is indispensable for all those interested in the modern Middle East, religious history, secularism, modernism and religious reform.

For too long scholars and the public alike have simply dismissed the notion of ‘Jews and sport in the UK’ as an oxymoron.

Eusebius

A Christian Modernity for Tribal India

Aaron P. Johnson, Lee University, Cleveland, USA “In his new book, Aaron Johnson explores the many facets of the amazing scholar-theologian, Eusebius of Caesarea - apologist, exegete, historian, theologian and encomiast. With his fresh and uncluttered approach, Johnson demonstrates how the different facets of bishop relate to each other, and builds up a credible picture of Eusebius that will surprise many.” - Andrew Louth, FBA, Professor Emeritus of Patristic and Byzantine Studies, Durham University, and Visiting Professor of Eastern Orthodox Theology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam Discusses the major writings: apologetic treatises; the pedagogical and exegetical works; the historical texts; the anti-Marcellan theological discourses; and expositions directly connected to the Emperor Constantine.

Interfaith Encounters Between Judaism, Christianity and Islam Edited by Jacques B Doukhan, Andrews University, USA “The interviews and reflections in this volume are nothing less than essential reading for anyone concerned about the challenges to and possibilities for greater peace between Christians, Muslims and Jews.” – Gregory A. Barker, Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies, The University of Wales, Trinity Saint David “This sensitive, incisive yet always accessible volume addresses one of the great issues of our time, one from which the broader dialogue of religions and cultures can only benefit.

In its searching analysis of issues of peace, justice, hope and forgiveness, it will engage all students and scholars of interfaith studies. Contents: Foreword * 1. Thinking of Each Other: The Quest for Truth * 2. ‘For the Sake of Peace (Mipnei Darchei Shalom)’: Rabbinic Attitudes toward Gentiles, Christians, and Muslims * 3. The Family of Abraham * 4.
