2ND EDITION

Ryan Nichols, California State University, Fullerton, USA, Nicholas D. Smith, Lewis & Clark College, USA and Fred Miller, Bowling Green State University, USA ’Philosophy Through Science Fiction does an excellent job of combining historical and contemporary philosophical texts with examples from popular fiction. It is both intellectually stimulating and fun to read – a rare combination.’ – Tim Madigan, St. John Fisher College, USA Tackling problems such as the possibility of time travel, or what makes someone the same person over time, the authors take a four-pronged approach to each issue, providing: •a clear and concise introduction to each subject •a science fiction story that exemplifies a feature of the philosophical discussion •historical and contemporary philosophical texts that investigate the issue with rigor •a glossary, plot profiles of pertinent science fiction stories and films, and questions for further reflection. Philosophy Through Science Fiction includes stories from contemporary science fiction writers including Greg Egan and Mike Resnick, as well as from classic authors like Philip K. Dick and Robert Heinlein. Philosophy readings include historical pieces by Rene Descartes and David Hume, and contemporary pieces by John Searle and Mary Midgley.

How can Wii Sports teach us about metaphysics? Can playing World of Warcraft lead to greater selfconsciousness? How can we learn about aesthetics, ethics and divine attributes from Zork, Grand Theft Auto, and Civilization? A variety of increasingly sophisticated video games are rapidly overtaking books, films, and television as America’s most popular form of media entertainment. It is estimated that by 2011 over 30 percent of US households will own a Wii console – about the same percentage that owned a television in 1953. In Philosophy Through Video Games, Jon Cogburn and Mark Silcox – philosophers with game industry experience – investigate the aesthetic appeal of video games, their effect on our morals, the insights they give us into our understanding of perceptual knowledge, personal identity, artificial intelligence, and the very meaning of life itself, arguing that video games are popular precisely because they engage with longstanding philosophical problems. Topics covered include: •the problem of the external world •dualism and personal identity •artificial and human intelligence in the philosophy of mind •the idea of interactive art •the moral effects of video games •games and God’s goodness. Games discussed include: Madden Football, Wii Sports, Guitar Hero, World of Warcraft, Sims Online, Second Life, Baldur’s Gate, Knights of the Old Republic, Elder Scrolls, Zork, EverQuest, Doom, Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto, Civilization, Mortal Kombat, Rome: Total War, Black and White, and the Aidyn Chronicles.

THINKING IN ACTION SERIES

On Criticism

NEW

On Courage Geoffrey Scarre, University of Durham, UK Series: Thinking in Action What is courage and why is it one of the oldest and deeply admired virtues? Is courage characteristic of all cultures, or only some? Why is it so often portrayed as a ’manly’ virtue? In this insightful and crisply written book, Geoffrey Scarre examines these questions and many more. He begins by defining courage, asking how it differs from heroism, fearlessness and fortitude, and argues that we often ascribe courage too easily and asks why we often disavow our own courageous actions, instead explaining them as ’just doing our duty’. He also asks whether courage can serve bad ends as well as good and why it is often portrayed as a solitary rather than group or collective virtue. On Courage explores the ideas of Aristotle, Aquinas and the Stoics, all of whom wrote about courage, as well as drawing on more recent examples of courage in politics and fiction, including the German anti-Nazi ’White Rose Movement’, the Civil Rights Movement and Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim.

On Happiness Caroline West Series: Thinking in Action Having a job, exercising, drinking less, drinking more, making friends and being thin can apparently all make us happy. What is happiness? Why should we want it? How do we get it? Is there a science of happiness? These questions and more are at the heart of Caroline West’s lively philosophical examination of one of the oldest philosophical and psychological problems. She distinguishes different kinds of happiness – feeling happy, being a happy kind of person and having a happy or satisfying life – before considering the different approaches to happiness belonging to Aristotle, Bentham, Mill and the Stoics as well as Buddhism. She then asks whether a happy life is sufficient for a good life, drawing on some fascinating examples from film and literature such as Barbarella, The Matrix, Brothers Karamazov, and Brave New World. She also considers answers to the big question: What causes happiness and what are psychologists attempting to measure when they talk about ’subjective well-being’? Drawing on a rich range of sources, On Happiness is an enlightening study of an intriguing and elusive concept.

On Waiting

Noël Carroll, Temple University, USA

Harold Schweizer, Bucknell University, USA

Series: Thinking in Action

’This book is badly needed, as much by critics as those who read them, as much by teachers of criticism as those who would like to write criticism.’ – Arthur C. Danto, Art Critic, The Nation ’This little book runs directly counter to the modern orthodoxy that proper art criticism is all about interpretation and contextualizing. With admirable clarity and disarming candor, it defends the unfashionable view that the heart of art criticism is giving reasoned evaluations of artistic achievement.’ – Gordon Graham, Princeton University, USA In a recent poll of practicing art critics, 75 percent reported that rendering judgements on artworks was the least significant aspect of their job. This is a troubling statistic for philosopher and critic Noël Carroll, who argues that that the proper task of the critic is not simply to describe, or to uncover hidden meanings or agendas, but instead to determine what is of value in art. Carroll argues for a humanistic conception of criticism which focuses on what the artist has achieved by creating or performing the work. While a good critic should not neglect to contextualize and offer interpretations of a work of art, he argues that too much recent criticism has ignored the fundamental role of the artist’s intentions.

’Within these covers, Harold Schweizer has assembled a world of philosophical and literary musings on the time-tormented suspension of waiting. As we read his learned, lucid essay, an area of everyday experience swims into focus as if for the first time, the sentences on every page filled with an evocative, almost hypnotic charm.’ – Wendy Steiner, University of Pennsylvania, USA Penelope waits by her loom for Odysseus, Vladimir and Estragon wait for Godot, all of us have to wait: for buses, phone calls and the kettle to boil. But do we know what the checking of one’s watch and pacing back and forth is really all about? What is the relationship between waiting and time? Is there an ethics of waiting, or even an art of waiting? Do the internet, online shopping and text messaging mean that waiting has come to an end? Drawing on some fascinating examples, On Waiting examines this ever-present yet overlooked phenomenon from diverse angles and is the first book to present a philosophy of waiting. 2008: 198x129: 168pp Hb: 978-0-415-77506-9: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-77507-6: £12.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415775076

THINKING IN ACTION SERIES

On Shame

On Landscapes

On Architecture

Michael L. Morgan, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA

Susan Herrington, University of British Columbia, Canada

Series: Thinking in Action

’Participating in a recent revival of philosophical interest in the phenomenon of shame and its relation to our identities and practical lives, Michael Morgan’s book makes a passionate and philosophically intelligent case for regarding shame as fundamental to the kinds of social beings we are.’ – Alice Crary, The New School for Social Research, USA

’Herrington deftly and succinctly draws together a vast range of material on landscape from several disciplines. She writes engagingly without oversimplifying; she thinks carefully without losing sight of the lay of the land. Both lay readers and professionals will come away from this small gem looking at and living in the landscape in new ways.’ – Bruce Janz, University of Central Florida, USA

’Deeply engaging and very easy to read ... I suspect many people will be grateful for the help it provides in thinking more deeply about difficult issues that cannot be ignored.’ – Marya Schechtman, University of Illinois, Chicago, USA

There is no escaping landscape: it’s everywhere and part of everyone’s life. Landscapes have received much less attention in aesthetics than those arts we can choose to ignore, such as painting or music − but they can tell us a lot about the ethical and aesthetic values of the societies that produce them.

Shame is one of a family of self-conscious emotions that includes embarrassment, guilt, disgrace, and humiliation. On Shame examines this emotion psychologically and philosophically, in order to show how it can be a galvanizing force for moral action against the violence and atrocity that characterize the world we live in. Drawing on historical and current affairs to explore the emotion of shame, as well as films and the work of Primo Levi, Bernard Williams, and Stanley Cavell, Michael Morgan illustrates how moral responsibility can be facilitated by calling upon this complex emotion. 2008: 198x129: 144pp Hb: 978-0-415-39622-6: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-39623-3: £12.99 eBook: 978-0-203-93243-8 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415396233

Drawing on examples from a wide range of landscapes from around the world and throughout history, Susan Herrington considers the ways landscapes can affect our emotions, our imaginations, and our understanding of the passage of time. On Landscapes reveals the design work involved in even the most naturalistic of landscapes, and the ways in which contemporary landscapes are turning the challenges of the industrial past into opportunities for the future. 2008: 198x129: 160pp Hb: 978-0-415-99124-7: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-99125-4: £12.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415991254

Fred Rush, University of Notre Dame, USA ’As Fred Rush argues, various attempts over the last century to lend conceptual gravity to architecture have eclipsed our experience of it. On Architecture, his sustained and exacting reflection on the inevitably embodied nature of experience, returns to architecture the multi-sensory immersion foundational to its very perception.’ – Sandy Isenstadt, Yale University, USA Architecture is a philosophical puzzle. Although we spend most of our time in buildings, we rarely reflect on what they mean or how we experience them. With some notable exceptions, they have generally struggled to be taken seriously as works of art and have been rather overlooked by philosophers. In On Architecture, Fred Rush argues this is a consequence of neglecting the role of the body in architecture. Our encounter with a building is first and foremost a bodily one; buildings are lived-in, communal spaces and their construction reveals a lot about our relation to the environment as a whole. Drawing on examples from architects such as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, and exploring the significance of buildings in relation to film and music and philosophers such as Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, Rush argues that philosophical reflection on buildings can tell us something important about the human condition. 2008: 198x129: 200pp Hb: 978-0-415-39618-9: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-39619-6: £12.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415396196

2ND EDITION

Spinoza

Merleau-Ponty

On the Internet

Michael Della Rocca, Yale University, USA

Taylor Carman, Columbia University, USA

Hubert L. Dreyfus, University of California, Berkeley, USA

Series: The Routledge Philosophers

Series: Thinking in Action ’A clear discussion of the promises of the Internet ... brings a philosopher’s eye to bear on an issue that affects all of us.’ – Ubiquity Can the internet solve the problem of mass education, and bring human beings to a new level of community? Drawing on a diverse array of thinkers from Plato to Kierkegaard, On the Internet argues that there is much in common between the disembodied, free floating web and Descartes’ separation of mind and body. Hubert Dreyfus also shows how Kierkegaard’s insights into the origins of a media-obsessed public anticipate the web surfer, blogger and chat room. Drawing on studies of the isolation experienced by many internet users and the insights of philosophers, Dreyfus shows how the internet’s privatization of experience ignores essential human capacities such as trust, moods, risk, shared local concerns and commitment. This second edition includes a brand new chapter on ’Second Life’ and is revised and updated throughout. 2008: 198x129: 192pp Pb: 978-0-415-77516-8: £12.99 eBook: 978-0-203-88793-6 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415775168

’This is an exciting, interesting, and highly-readable book on Spinoza. Della Rocca offers a bold thesis: that Spinoza’s philosophy results from persistently applying the principle of sufficient reason to absolutely everything.’ – Charles Hueneman, Utah State University, USA ’An absolutely fantastic book. Della Rocca has succeeded in making Spinoza’s notoriously difficult thought accessible to a general audience without sacrificing any of the conceptual complexity and rigors that makes Spinoza such a good philosopher.’ – Martin Lin, University of Toronto, Canada Renowned for his metaphysics, Spinoza made significant contributions to understanding the human mind, the emotions, moral philosophy, and political philosophy. Beginning with an overview of Spinoza’s life, Michael Della Rocca carefully unpacks and explains Spinoza’s philosophy: his metaphysics of substance and argument that God is the sole independent substance; his account of the human mind and its relation to the body; his theory that human beings tend towards self-preservation and his most famous work, the Ethics, including the problem of free will; and his writings on the state, religion and scripture. Della Rocca concludes with a chapter on Spinoza’s legacy and how modern philosophers Hume, Hegel, and Nietzsche, responded to Spinoza’s challenge. Ideal for those coming to Spinoza for the first time as well as those already acquainted with his thought, Spinoza is essential reading for anyone studying philosophy.

’Carman gives a fresh, clear, and convincing account of Merleau-Ponty’s thought. His book is the best available thus far and should be required reading for those interested in Merleau-Ponty’s original and important ideas and how they relate both to our pervasive perceptual experience and to current philosophical debate.’ – Hubert Dreyfus, University of California, Berkeley, USA ’This is the best introduction to Merleau-Ponty’s work available.’ – Mark Wrathall, University of California, Riverside, USA Beginning with an overview of Merleau-Ponty’s life and work, subsequent chapters cover fundamental aspects of Merleau-Ponty’s thought, including his philosophy of perception and intentionality, the role of the body in relation to perception, philosophy of history and culture, and his writings on art and aesthetics, particularly the work of Cezanne. A final chapter considers Merleau-Ponty’s importance today, examining his philosophy in light of recent developments in philosophy of mind and cognitive science. 2008: 216x138: 288pp Hb: 978-0-415-33980-3: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-33981-0: £15.99 eBook: 978-0-203-46185-3 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415339810 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

Aristotle

Rawls

Christopher Shields

Samuel Freeman

Series: The Routledge Philosophers

’Christopher Shields’ book introduces the philosophy of Aristotle in a comprehensive, informative and perspicuously argued way that engages with the philosopher’s arguments and views with critical surety and acuity.’ – Vasilis Politis, Trinity College Dublin, UK

’An important and hugely impressive book. It is straightforward and authoritative, laying out and exploring criticisms in sufficient detail to make clear the underlying philosophical issues.’ – The Times Literary Supplement

In this excellent introduction, Christopher Shields introduces and assesses the whole of Aristotle’s philosophy, showing how his powerful conception of human nature shaped much of his thinking on the nature of the soul and the mind, ethics, politics and the arts. Beginning with a brief biography, Shields carefully explains the fundamental elements of Aristotle’s thought: his explanatory framework, his philosophical methodology and his four-causal explanatory scheme. Subsequently he discusses Aristotle’s metaphysics and the theory of categories and logical theory, and his conception of the human being and soul and body. In the last part, he concentrates on Aristotle’s value theory as applied to ethics and politics, and assesses his approach to happiness, virtues and the best life for human beings. He concludes with an appraisal of Aristotelianism today.

Clearly setting out the ideas in Rawls’ masterwork, A Theory of Justice, Freeman also considers Rawls’ other key works, including Political Liberalism and The Law of Peoples. 2007: 216x138: 576pp Hb: 978-0-415-30108-4: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-30109-1: £15.99 eBook: 978-0-203-08660-5 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415301091 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

Edited by Rupert Read, University of East Anglia, UK and Kenneth A. Richman, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, USA For decades scholars thought they knew Hume’s position on the existence of causes and objects – he was a sceptic. However, this received view has been thrown into question by the ’new’ readings of Hume as a sceptical realist. The New Hume Debate is the first book to fully document the most influential contemporary readings of Hume’s work. Throughout, the volume brings the debate beyond textual issues in Hume to contemporary philosophical issues concerning causation and knowledge of the external world and issues in the history of philosophy, offering the reader a model for scholarly debate. This revised paperback edition includes three new chapters by Janet Broughton, Peter Kail and Peter Millican. Contributors include: Kenneth A. Richman, Barry Stroud, Galen Strawson, Kenneth P. Winkler, John P. Wright, Simon Blackburn, Edward Craig, Martin Bell, Daniel Flage, Anne Jaap Jacobson, Rupert Read, Janet Broughton, Peter Millican, and Peter Kail.

Insiders and Outsiders in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy

Reading ’The History of British India’

David McInerney, University of Adelaide, Australia Series: Studies in Philosophy This book considers the relations between James Mill’s The History of British India (1818) and Enlightenment historiography, especially William Robertson’s Historical Disquisition Concerning the Knowledge the Ancients had of India (1791). David McInerney argues that it was in The History of British India that Mill first published his theory of government, which appears there in his account of ’Oriental despotism’ and his criticisms of Robertson’s account of the caste system, and that, contrary to the opinion of certain critics, Mill’s usage of ’history’ in The History of British India is not rationalist but rather entails a distinctively empiricist conception of the relationship between historical records and the improvement of government.

Series: Routledge Studies in Seventeenth Century Philosophy Seventeenth-century philosophy scholars come together in this volume to address the ‘Insiders’ – Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, and Hobbes – and ‘Outsiders’ – Pierre Gassendi, Kenelm Digby, Theophilus Gale, Ralph Cudworth and Nicholas Malebranche – of the canon, and the ways in which philosophical reputations are created and confirmed. In their own day, these ten figures were all considered to be thinkers of substantial repute, and it took some time for the ‘Insiders’ to come to be regarded as major and original philosophers. Today these ‘Insiders’ all feature in the syllabi of most history of philosophy courses taught in western universities, and the papers in this collection, contrasting the stories of their receptions with those of the ‘Outsiders’, give an insight into the history of philosophy which is generally overlooked.

Mill’s Radical Liberalism An Essay in Retrieval Jonathan Riley, Tulane University, New Orleans, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Philosophy In this major reinterpretation and contemporary defence of Mill’s political philosophy, Jonathan Riley offers a new reading of Mill’s radical doctrine that is quite distinct from the prevalent and vague understanding of the term ’liberalism’. Based on the argument of On Liberty, the book begins by indicating the current debates about Mill’s liberalism, followed by a summary of the argument, and an exploration of the alternative forms of liberalism that have since emerged such as the doctrines of Green, Bosanquet and Berlin. Riley then provides a full reinterpretation of Mill’s doctrine covering issues of social custom and behavior, and recent claims about Millian application on cases of pornography and prostitution. This fascinating investigation of one of the most controversial doctrines in philosophy is essential reading for students of Mill and political philosophy, and for those interested in the concept of liberty and its application.

This attractive text will soon, I expect, become one of the top choices for teaching the theory of knowledge.’ – Matthias Steup, Purdue University, USA Arguing About Knowledge offers a fresh and engaging perspective on the theory of knowledge. This comprehensive and imaginative selection of readings examines the subject in an unorthodox and entertaining manner whilst covering the fundamentals of the theory of knowledge. It includes classic and contemporary pieces from the most influential philosophers from Descartes, Russell, Quine and G.E. Moore to Richard Feldman, Edward Craig, Gilbert Harman and Roderick Chisholm. In addition, students will find fascinating alternative pieces from literary and popular work such as Lewis Caroll, Jorges Luis Borges and Paul Boghossian.

Freedom and Resentment and Other Essays

Scepticism and Naturalism: Some Varieties

P.F. Strawson

By the time of his death in 2006, Sir Peter Strawson was regarded as one of the world’s most distinguished philosophers. First published thirty years ago but long since unavailable, Freedom and Resentment collects some of Strawson’s most important work and is an ideal introduction to his thinking on such topics as the philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology and aesthetics. Beginning with the title essay Freedom and Resentment, this invaluable collection is testament to the astonishing range of Strawson’s thought as he discusses free will, ethics and morality, logic, the mind-body problem and aesthetics. The book is perhaps best-known for its three interrelated chapters on perception and the imagination, subjects now at the very forefront of philosophical research. This reissue includes a substantial new foreword by Paul Snowdon and a fascinating intellectual autobiography by Strawson. Selected Contents: Foreword Paul Snowdon. Intellectual Autobiography P.F. Strawson. Preface 1. Freedom and Resentment 2. Social Morality and Individual 3. Imagination and Perception 4. Causation and Perception 5. Perception and Identification 6. Catagories 7. Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations 8. Self, Mind and Body 9. Aesthetic Appraisal and Works of Art 10. Is Existence Never a Predicate? 11. On Understanding the Structure of One’s Language Index

Unavailable for many years, Scepticism and Naturalism is a profound reflection on two classic philosophical problems by a philosopher at the pinnacle of his career. Based on his acclaimed Woodbridge lectures delivered at Columbia University in 1983, Strawson begins with a discussion of scepticism, which he defines as questioning the adequacy of our grounds for holding various beliefs. He then draws deftly on Hume and Wittgenstein to argue that we must distinguish between ’hard’, scientific naturalism; or ’soft’, humanistic naturalism. In the remaining chapters the author takes up several issues in which sceptical doubts play an important role, in particular the nature of transcendental arguments and including the objectivity of moral philosophy, the mental and the physical, and the existence of abstract entities. Scepticism and Naturalism is essential reading for those seeking an introduction to the work of one of the twentieth century’s most important and original philosophers. This reissue includes a substantial new foreword by Quassim Cassam and a fascinating intellectual autobiography by Strawson, which together form an excellent introduction to his life and work. 2008: 129x219: 128pp Pb: 978-0-415-45049-2: £13.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415450492

William Fish, Massey University, New Zealand Series: Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy The philosophy of perception investigates the nature of our sensory experiences and their relation to reality. Raising questions about whether there is an objective reality external to the mind, and what exactly it is we perceive when we hallucinate or dream, the philosophy of perception is a growing area of interest in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind. William Fish’s Philosophy of Perception introduces the subject thematically, setting out the major theories of perception together with their motivations and attendant problems. While providing historical background to debates in the field, this comprehensive overview focuses on recent presentations and defenses of the different theories, and looks beyond visual perception to take into account the role of other senses.

Analyticity

Fiction and Fictionalism

Cory Juhl, University of Texas, Austin, USA and Eric Loomis, University of South Alabama, USA

R.M. Sainsbury, University of Texas, Austin, USA

Analyticity, or the ’analytic/synthetic’ distinction is one of the most important and controversial problems in contemporary philosophy. It is also essential to understanding many developments in logic, philosophy of language, epistemology and metaphysics. In this outstanding introduction to analyticity Cory Juhl and Eric Loomis cover the following key topics: •the origins of analyticity in the philosophy of Hume and Kant •Carnap’s arguments concerning analyticity in the early twentieth century

Are fictional characters such as Sherlock Holmes real? What can fiction tell us about the nature of truth and reality? In this excellent introduction to the problem of fictionalism R.M. Sainsbury covers the following key topics: • What is fiction? • realism about fictional objects, including the arguments that fictional objects are real but non-existent; real but non-factual; real but non-concrete •the relationship between fictional characters and non-actual worlds •fictional entities as abstract artefacts

•Quine’s famous objections to analyticity in his classic ’Two Dogmas of Empiricism’ essay

•fiction and intentionality and the problem of irrealism

•the relationship between analyticity and central issues in metaphysics, such as ontology

•moral fictionalism.

•the relationship between analyticity and epistemology •analyticity in the context of the current debates in philosophy, including mathematics and ontology. Throughout the book the authors show how many philosophical controversies hinge on the problem of analyticity. Additional features include chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary of technical terms making the book ideal to those coming to the problem for the first time.

Moral Epistemology

Physicalism

Noncognitivism in Ethics

Aaron Zimmerman, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA

Daniel Stoljar, Australian National University

Mark Schroeder, University of Southern California, USA

Can virtue be taught? How can we know – and justify – the right thing to do? Moral epistemology studies the question of whether and how we know right from wrong. It is one of the perennial problems of philosophy, reaching back to Plato and Aristotle, and has recently been the subject of intense debate as a result of findings in developmental and social psychology. In this outstanding introduction to the subject Aaron Zimmerman covers the following key topics: •What is moral epistemology? Including Socrates, Gettier, Frege and Moore •methodological questions facing moral epistemology, including cognitivism and noncogntivism •challenges to moral epistemology from moral nihilism and scepticism, including debates concerning god and morality and the role of motives and reasons in grounding morality •moral disagreement, including contextualism Also including chapter summaries and further reading Moral Epistemology is essential reading for students of ethics and epistemology. April 2010: 234x156 Hb: 978-0-415-48553-1: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-48554-8: £18.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415485548

Physicalism, the thesis that everything is physical, is one of the most controversial problems in philosophy. Its adherents argue that there is no more important doctrine in philosophy, whilst its opponents claim that its role is greatly exaggerated. In this superb introduction to the problem, Daniel Stoljar focuses on three fundamental questions: the interpretation, truth and philosophical significance of physicalism. In answering these questions he covers the following key topics: •a brief history of physicalism and its definitions •what a physical property is and how physicalism meets challenges from empirical sciences •’Hempel’s dilemma’ and the relationship between physicalism and physics

According to noncognitivists, when we say that stealing is wrong, what we are doing is expressing our feelings about stealing, rather than stating facts about morality. These ideas challenge the core not only of much thinking about morality, but also of much philosophical thought about language and meaning. Their leading exponents range from A.J. Ayer to Simon Blackburn and Alan Gibbard. Noncognitivism in Ethics is an outstanding introduction to these theories, ranging from their early history through the latest contemporary developments. Beginning with a general introduction to metaethics, Mark Schroeder escorts the reader through a tour of both the philosophical problems which noncognitivism seeks to solve and the deep problems that it faces, such as prescriptivism; the ’Frege-Geach’ problem; expressivism; and relativism. He makes even the most difficult material accessible by offering crucial background along the way.

•physicalism and causality.

Also included are exercises at the end of each chapter, chapter summaries, and a glossary of technical terms – making Noncognitivism in Ethics essential reading for all students of ethics and metaethics.

Additional features include chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary of technical terms, making Physicalism ideal for those coming to the problem for the first time.

Pierre Bayle’s Cartesian Metaphysics Rediscovering Early Modern Philosophy Todd Ryan, Trinity College, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Seventeenth Century Philosophy In his magnum opus, the Historical and Critical Dictionary, Pierre Bayle offered a series of brilliant criticisms of the major philosophical and theological systems of the seventeenth century. Although officially skeptical concerning the attempt to provide a definitive account of the truths of metaphysics, there is reason to see Bayle as a reluctant skeptic. In particular, Todd Ryan contends that Bayle harbored deep sympathy for the attempt by Descartes and his most innovative successor, Nicolas Malebranche, to establish a metaphysical system that would provide a foundation for the new mechanistic natural philosophy while helping to secure the fundamental tenets of rational theology. Through a careful analysis of Bayle’s critical engagement with such philosophers as Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke and Newton, it is argued that, despite his reputation as a skeptic, Bayle was not without philosophical commitments of his own. Drawing on the full range of Bayle’s writings, from his early philosophical lectures to his final controversial writings, Ryan offers detailed studies of Bayle’s treatment of such pivotal issues as mind-body dualism, causation and God’s relation to the world.

Mulla Sadra is one of the most important Islamic philosophers after Avicenna. In this exploration of his philosophy, Sajjad H. Rizvi examines the central doctrine of the modulation of being, and contextualizes his work within the intellectual history of philosophical traditions in the Islamic East. Reading and critiquing the works of Mulla Sadra from an analytical perspective, this book pays particular attention to his text the Asfar, a work which, due to its complexity, is often overlooked. Looking at the concept of philosophy as a way of life and a therapeutic practice, this book explores the paradigm of the modulation of being in the philosophical method and metaphysics of Mulla Sadra and considers its different manifestations. Rizvi relates his philosophy to larger trends and provides a review of the field, charting and critiquing the discussion on the topic to date and exploring recent thought in this direction, to show how Sadrian thought was addressed well into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This major contribution to the study of Mulla Sadra and the intellectual life of the Safavid period fills an important gap in the field of Sadra studies and Islamic philosophy, and is indispensable to students of philosophy, religion and Islamic studies, and Islamic philosophy in particular.

Edited by Helen Beebee, Nigel Leary and Francis Longworth, all at University of Birmingham, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Metaphysics Essentialism – roughly, the view that natural kinds have discrete essences, generating truths that are necessary but knowable only a posteriori – is an increasingly popular view in the metaphysics of science. At the same time, philosophers of language have been subjecting Kripke’s views about the existence and scope of the necessary a posteriori to rigorous analysis and criticism. Essentialists typically appeal to Kripkean semantics to motivate their radical extension of the realm of the necessary a posteriori; but they rarely attempt to provide any semantic arguments for this extension, or engage with the critical work being done by philosophers of language. This collection brings authors on both sides together in one volume, thus helping the reader to see the connections between views in philosophy of language on the one hand and the metaphysics of science on the other. The result is a book that will have a significant impact on the debate about essentialism, encouraging essentialists to engage with debates about the semantic presuppositions that underpin their position, and encouraging philosophers of language to engage with the metaphysical presuppositions enshrined in Kripkean semantics.

The Concept of Mind

•the status of psychological theories

This volume contains twenty critical essays on the history of philosophy, including Plato, Locke and Hume as well as important chapters on Russell and Wittgenstein. It also includes three essays on phenomenology, including Ryle’s famous review of Heidegger’s Being and Time first published in 1928. Although Ryle believed phenomenology ’will end in self-ruinous subjectivism or in a windy mysticism’ his review also acknowledged that Heidegger was a thinker of great originality and importance. While surveying the developments in the philosophy of language and philosophical logic, Ryle sets out his own conception of the philosophers’ role against that of his predecessors and contemporaries.

•historical background

Gilbert Ryle

Described by Ryle himself as a ’sustained piece of analytical hatchet-work’ on Cartesian dualism, The Concept of Mind is a radical attempt to jettison once and for what Ryle called ’the ghost in the machine’: Descartes’ argument that mind and body are two separate entities. Ryle argues that the language traditionally used to describe the relationship between mind and body amounts to nothing less than a massive ’category mistake’. Ryle overturns some long-held assumptions about language and knowledge, including knowledge of other people’s minds, and launched the new movement of philosophical behaviourism.

Collected Papers Volume 2 Collected Essays 1929–1968 Gilbert Ryle Preface by Julia Tanney, University of Kent, UK Collected Papers Volume 2: Collected Essays 1929–1968 stands as testament to the astonishing breadth of Gilbert Ryle’s philosophical concerns. This volume showcases Ryle’s deep interest in the notion of thinking and contains many of his major pieces, including his classic essays ’Knowing How and Knowing That’, ’Philosophical Arguments’, ’Systematically Misleading Expressions’, and ’A Puzzling Element in the Notion of Thinking’. He ranges over an astonishing number of topics, including feelings, pleasure, sensation, forgetting and concepts and in so doing hones his own philosophical stance, steering a careful path between behaviourism and Cartesianism.

Gilbert Ryle builds his case via an erudite and beautifully written account of the will, emotion, self-knowledge, sensation and observation, imagination and the intellect. Some of the problems he tackles, such as the distinction between ’knowing how and knowing that’, challenged some of the bedrock assumptions of philosophy and continue to exert important influence on contemporary philosophy.

Psychologists and philosophers have assumed that psychological knowledge is knowledge about, and held by, the individual mind. Psychological Knowledge challenges these views. It argues that bodies of psychological knowledge are social institutions like money or the monarchy, and that mental states are social artefacts like coins or crowns. Martin Kusch takes on arguments of alternative proposals, shows what is wrong with them, and demonstrates how his own social-philosophical approach constitutes an advance. We see that exists a substantial natural amount of philosophical theorising, a body of work that tries to determine the nature and structure of folk psychology. 2006: 216x138: 424pp Pb: 978-0-415-37931-1: £22.95 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415379311

Logi Gunnarsson, University of Dortmund, Germany Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy As witnessed by recent films such as Fight Club and Identity, our culture is obsessed with multiple personality – a phenomenon raising intriguing questions about personal identity. This study offers both a full-fledged philosophical theory of personal identity and a systematic account of multiple personality. Logi Gunnarsson combines the methods of analytic philosophy with close hermeneutic and phenomenological readings of cases from different fields, focusing on psychiatric and psychological treatises, self-help books, biographies, and fiction. He develops an original account of personal identity (the authorial correlate theory) and offers a provocative interpretation of multiple personality: in brief, ’multiples’ are right about the metaphysics but wrong about the facts.

Simple Formal Logic

2ND EDITION

With Common-Sense Symbolic Techniques

Laboratory of the Mind

Arnold vander Nat, Loyola University Chicago, USA

James Robert Brown, University of Toronto, Canada In this revised and updated new edition of his classic text, James Robert Brown continues to defend a priorism in the physical world, including a new chapter on the role of intuition in thought experiments, and new material on thought experiments in mathematics. With plenty of illustrations, and updated coverage of the debate between rational platonism and classic empiricism, this will be a lively and edifying contribution to the field of philosophy of science.

Perfect for students with no background in logic or philosophy, Simple Formal Logic provides a full system of logic adequate to handle everyday and philosophical reasoning. By keeping out artificial techniques that aren’t natural to our everyday thinking process, Simple Formal Logic trains students to think through formal logical arguments for themselves, ingraining in them the habits of sound reasoning. Simple Formal Logic features:

The first of the four volumes is dedicated to general metaphysical issues revolving around the relation between the mental and the physical. Of special focus here is the rise of a methodological commitment to physicalism. The next two volumes cover, respectively, the two most general features associated with mental phenomena: intentionality and consciousness. The fourth volume provides a selection of the most recent and influential research on specialist sub-topics in philosophy of mind, such as emotion, perception, and animal minds. Together, the four volumes provide a one-stop resource for all interested researchers, teachers, and students to gain a thorough understanding of the sources of this thriving and dominant subdiscipline, and where it is today. With comprehensive introductions to each volume, newly written by the editor, which place the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Philosophy of Mind is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by philosophers of mind as well as those working in allied areas such as metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of language; and cognate disciplines such as psychology as a vital research tool.

Routledge Research Title

Edited by Steven Levine, University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA

Peter R. Sedgwick, University of Wales, Cardiff, UK

On Heidegger’s Being and Time is an outstanding exploration of Heidegger’s most important work by two major philosophers. Simon Critchley argues that we must see Being and Time as a radicalization of Husserl’s phenomenology, particularly his theories of intentionality, categorial intuition, and the phenomenological concept of the a priori. This leads to a reappraisal and defense of Heidegger’s conception of phenomenology.

Nietzsche: The Key Concepts is a comprehensive guide to one of the most widely-studied and influential philosophers of the nineteenth century. This invaluable resource helps navigate the often challenging and controversial thought outlined in Nietzsche’s seminal texts.

In contrast, Reiner Schürmann urges us to read Heidegger ’backward’, arguing that his later work is the key to unravelling Being and Time. Through a close reading of Being and Time Schürmann demonstrates that this work is ultimately aporetic because the notion of Being elaborated in his later work is already at play within it. This is the first time that Schürmann’s renowned lectures on Heidegger have been published. The book concludes with Critchley’s reinterpretation of the importance of authenticity in Being and Time.

Standard accounts of nineteenth century German philosophy often begin with Kant and assess philosophers after him in light of their responses to Kantian idealism. In Continental Idealism, Paul Redding argues that the story of German idealism begins with Leibniz. Redding begins by examining Leibniz’s dispute with Newton over the nature of space, time and God, and stresses the way in which Leibniz incorporated Platonic and Aristotelian elements in his distinctive brand of idealism. Redding shows how Kant’s interpretation of Leibniz’s views of space and time consequently shaped his own ’transcendental’ version of idealism. Far from ending here, however, Redding argues that post-Kantian idealists such as Fichte, Schelling and Hegel on the one hand and metaphysical sceptics such as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche on the other continued to wrestle with a form of idealism ultimately derived from Leibniz. Continental Idealism offers not only a new picture of one of the most important philosophical movements in the history of philosophy, but also a valuable and clear introduction to the origins of Continental and European philosophy.

Violence and Phenomenology

Sartre and the Moral Limits of War and Terrorism

James Dodd, New School for Social Research, USA Series: Studies in Philosophy

Jennifer Ang Mei Sze, Hwa Chong Institution, The People’s Republic of China

This book pursues the problem of whether violence can be understood to be constitutive of its own sense or meaning, as opposed to being merely instrumental. James Dodd draws on the resources of phenomenological philosophy, and takes the form of a series of dialogues between figures both inside and outside of this tradition. The central figures considered include Carl von Clausewitz, Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ernst Jünger, and Martin Heidegger, and the study concludes with an analysis of the philosophy of Jan Patocka.

Husserl’s Constitutive Phenomenology

The Existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre Jonathan Webber, University of Cardiff, UK Series: Routledge Studies in Twentieth Century Philosophy Recent developments in ethical discourse have brought the issue of the nature and development of character traits to the forefront of philosophical debate once again. This discussion tends to revolve around theories derived from Aristotle’s account of character, and overlooks Sartre’s existentialist alternative entirely. This accessible book presents an existentialist alternative to the currently dominant Aristotelian view of character. It will be of interest, therefore, to academics and graduate students concerned with virtue ethics and the theory of character as much as to those concerned with Sartre and existentialism in general. The book should set both the agenda and the standard for future discussions of Sartre’s work within philosophical discourse.

Series: Studies in Philosophy Looking at Jean-Paul Sartre’s works on ethics and politics, this book examines the relevancy and importance Sartre holds for contemporary concerns including the reactionary nature of terrorism, the extremity of counter-violence, and the limitations of democratization efforts in our post-9/11 era.

Series: Arguing About Philosophy Arguing About Language collects together both canonical work and some of the most exciting and hotly debated current issues in the philosophy of language. It offers a fresh and contemporary look at the field, addressing both fundamental problems and emerging topics with the classic views of Frege, Russell and Kripke and Quine, as well as the most influential pieces by current philosophers including Jason Stanley, David Chalmers, Crispin Wright and Timothy Williamson.

Its Problem and Promise

Each of the sections places together articles which engage with each other, often taking opposing views on the key topics in philosophy of language, including:

Bob Sandmeyer, University of Kentucky, USA

•sense and reference

•language and behaviour

If Edmund Husserl’s true philosophy lay in his unpublished research manuscripts, as he argues, then it is in these – rather than the introductions and fragmentary studies he published during his lifetime – that we may possibly find a systematic of his philosophy. This work constitutes a study of the full range of Husserl’s writings with the special task of uncovering there the systematic presentation or presentations of the transcendental phenomenological problematic.

Blind Obedience

The Mystical in Wittgenstein’s Early Writings

4-VOLUME SET

The Structure and Content of Wittgenstein’s Later Philosophy

Philosophy of Language

Meredith Williams, Johns Hopkins University, USA

Series: Studies in Philosophy

Edited by A.P. Martinich, University of Texas at Austin, USA

There is considerable debate amongst philosophers as to the basic philosophical problem Wittgenstein is attempting to solve in Philosophical Investigations. In this bold and original work, Meredith Williams argues that it is the problem of ’normative similarity’.

The aim of this book is to consider what reasonably follows from the hypothesis that the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus can be interpreted from a mystical point of view. James R. Atkinson intends to elucidate Wittgenstein’s thoughts on the mystical in his early writings as they pertain to a number of topics such as, God, the meaning of life, reality, the eternal and the solipsistic self.

Series: Critical Concepts in Philosophy What do ’meaning’ and ’truth’ mean? And how are they situated in the concrete practices of linguistic communication? What is the relationship between words and the world? How can people do such varied things as marry, inaugurate a president, and declare a country’s independence with words? How is language able to express knowledge, belief, and other mental states? What are metaphors and how do they work? Is a mathematically rigorous account of language possible? Does language make women invisible and encode a male worldview?

In Blind Obedience Williams demonstrates how Wittgenstein criticizes traditional, representationalist theories of language by employing the ’master/novice’ distinction of the learner, arguing that this distinction is often overlooked but fundamental to understanding philosophical problems about mind and language.

These are the kind of questions that have been addressed by philosophers of language since ancient times. Interest in the subject stretches back to the beginnings of western philosophy (for instance, in his Academy, Plato considered the question whether the names of things were deemed by convention or by nature). Interest in the philosophy of language has also been enduring and has blossomed anew in the past century. This title from the Routledge series, Critical Concepts in Philosophy, meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject’s vast literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Edited by A.P. Martinich, one of the subdiscipline’s leading scholars, this collection brings together in four volumes the canonical and the very best cutting-edge scholarship in the field to provide a synoptic view of all the key issues, figures, concepts, and current debates. With comprehensive introductions to each volume, newly written by the editor, which place the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Philosophy of Language is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by philosophers and linguists as well as psychologists and cognitive scientists working on language as a vital research resource. 2008: 234x156: 1608pp Set: 978-0-415-43471-3: £595.00 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415434713

The book not only provides revealing discussions of Wittgenstein’s corpus but also intricate analyses of the work of Brandom, Dummett, Frege, Sellars, Davidson, Cavell and others. These are usefully compared in a bid to better situate Wittgenstein’s non-intellectualist, non-theoretical approach and to highlight is unique features.

Over fifteen years have passed since Cora Diamond and James Conant turned Wittgenstein scholarship upside down with the program of ’resolute’ reading. This approach remains at the center of the debate about Wittgenstein and his philosophy, and this book draws together the latest thinking of the world’s leading Tractatarian scholars and promising newcomers. Showcasing one piece from each ’camp’, The Tractatus Wars pairs newly commissioned pieces addressing differing views on how to understand early Wittgenstein, providing for the first time an arena in which the debate between ’strong’ resolutists, ’weak’ resolutists and ’elucidatory’ readers of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus can really take place.

In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge as ’a child of crises, above all of the crisis of physics.’ Finally available in English, it is a major contribution to the philosophy of science, epistemology, and twentieth century philosophy generally. The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the centre of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science. Popper seeks to solve these two basic problems with his celebrated theory of falsifiability, arguing that the inferences made in science are not inductive but deductive; science does not start with observations and proceed to generalise them but with problems, which it attacks with bold conjectures. The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge is essential reading for anyone interested in Karl Popper, in the history and philosophy of science, and in the methods and theories of science itself.

Selected Social and Political Writings

Series: Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science This book seeks to rectify misrepresentations of Popperian thought with a historical approach to Popper’s philosophy, an approach which applies his own mature view, that we gain knowledge through conjectures and refutations, to his own development, by portraying him in his intellectual growth as just such a series. Gattei seeks to reconstruct the logic of Popper’s development in order to show how one problem and its tentative solution led to a new problem. 2008: 234x156: 152pp Hb: 978-0-415-37831-4: £80.00 eBook: 978-0-203-88719-6 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415378314

The Routledge Companion to Ethics

Alex Rosenberg and Daniel W. McShea, both at Duke University, USA Series: Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy ’A very impressive book. Coverage is complete without being overly encyclopedic and diffuse, and competing arguments are given fair and evenhanded treatment.’ – Gregory Frost-Arnold, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA Is life a purely physical process? What is human nature? Which of our traits is essential to us? In this volume, Daniel McShea and Alex Rosenberg – a biologist and a philosopher, respectively – join forces to create a new gateway to the philosophy of biology; making the major issues accessible and relevant to biologists and philosophers alike. Exploring concepts such as supervenience, the controversies about genocentrism, and genetic determinism; and the debate about major transitions central to contemporary thinking about macroevolution, the authors lay out the broad terms in which we should assess the impact of biology on human capacities, social institutions and ethical values. 2007: 234x156: 256pp Hb: 978-0-415-31592-0: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-31593-7: £21.99 eBook: 978-0-203-92699-4 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415315937 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

Feminism and Philosophy of Science An Introduction Elizabeth Potter, Mill’s College, USA Series: Understanding Feminist Philosophy Feminist perspectives have been increasingly influential on philosophy of science. Feminism and Philosophy of Science is designed to introduce the newcomer to the central themes, issues and arguments of this burgeoning area of study. Elizabeth Potter engages in a rigorous and well-organized study that takes in the views of key feminist theorists – Nelson, Wylie, Anderson, Longino and Harding – whose arguments exemplify contemporary feminist philosophy of science. Arranged thematically, Feminism and Philosophy of Science looks at the spectrum of views that have arisen in the debate, and unpicks the arguments on key topics such as value-free science, values, objectivity, point of view and relativism.

Emergence in Science and Philosophy

The Routledge Companion to Ethics is an outstanding survey of the whole field of ethics by a distinguished international team of contributors. Seventy entries are divided into six clear sections:

Edited by Antonella Corradini, Catholic University of Milan, Italy and Tim O’Connor, Indiana University, USA Series: Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Science The concept of emergence has seen a significant resurgence in philosophy and the sciences. Yet debates regarding emergentist and reductionist visions of the natural world continue to be hampered by imprecision or ambiguity. Emergent phenomena are said to arise out of and be sustained by more basic phenomena, while at the same time exerting a ’top-down’ control upon those very sustaining processes. To some critics, this has the air of magic, as it seems to suggest a kind of circular causality. Other critics deem the concept of emergence to be objectionably anti-naturalistic. Objections such as these have led many thinkers to construe emergent phenomena instead as coarse-grained patterns in the world that, while calling for distinctive concepts, do not ’disrupt’ the ordinary dynamics of the finer-grained (more fundamental) levels. Yet, reconciling emergence with a (presumed) pervasive causal continuity at the fundamental level can seem to deflate emergence of its initially profound significance. This basic problematic is mirrored by similar controversy over how best to characterize the opposite systematizing impulse, most commonly given an equally evocative but vague term, ’reductionism.’ The original essays in this volume help to clarify the alternatives: inadequacies in some older formulations and arguments are exposed and new lines of argument on behalf the two visions are advanced.

Virtue as Social Intelligence An Empirically Grounded Theory

Edited by Andrew Fisher and Simon Kirchin

Edited by Susan J. Armstrong and Richard G. Botzler

Series: Arguing About Philosophy

Nancy E. Snow, Marquette University, USA Virtue as Social Intelligence takes on the claims of philosophical situationism, the ethical theory that is skeptical about the possibility of human virtue. Influenced by social psychological studies, philosophical situationists argue that human personality is too fluid and fragmented to support a stable set of virtues. They claim that virtue cannot be grounded in empirical psychology. This book argues otherwise. Drawing on the work of psychologists Walter Mischel and Yuichi Shoda, Nancy E. Snow argues that the social psychological experiments that philosophical situationists rely on look at the wrong kinds of situations to test for behavioral consistency. Rather than looking at situations that are objectively similar, researchers need to compare situations that have similar meanings for the subject. When this is done, subjects exhibit behavioral consistencies that warrant the attribution of enduring traits, and virtues are a subset of these traits. Virtue can therefore be empirically grounded and virtue ethics has nothing to fear from philosophical situationism.

Punishment Thom Brooks Punishment is an area of increasing importance and concern to both citizens and politicians. How do we decide what should be crimes? How do we decide when someone is responsible for a crime? What should we do with criminals? These are the main questions this introductory textbook on the philosophy of punishment discusses. This is not only the first textbook to examine all major perspectives on punishment (including restorative justice, expressivist theories, and others for the first time), but also looks at several case studies (capital punishment, juvenile offenders, domestic abuse, and sexual crimes) and how these theories grapple with them. Punishment is aimed at those approaching the topic for the first time, although also appropriate to those already working in the field. In addition to further readings offered in each chapter, there is an extensive bibliography at the conclusion listing all the major works in the field which itself may be a valuable resource to beginners and more advanced readers alike. Punishment is an ideal starting point for undergraduate students of Law, Criminology, and Philosophy.

The Ethics of Sports

Philosophical Perspectives

Christina Garsten, Stockholm University, Sweden and Tor Hernes, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

Edited by Kristjana Kristiansen, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway, Simo Vehmas, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland and Tom Shakespeare, Newcastle University, UK

A Reader Edited by Mike J. McNamee, University of Wales Swansea, UK There are few, if any, aspects of contemporary sport that cannot be explored and understood in terms of a dialogue of ethics. From on-field relationships between athletes, coaches and officials, to the corporate responsibility of international sports organisations and businesses, ethics and ethical considerations permeate sport at every level and in every arena. This important new collection of articles showcases the very best international scholarship in the field of sports ethics, and offers a comprehensive, one-stop resource for any student, scholar or sportsperson with an interest in this area. It addresses cutting-edge contemporary themes within sports ethics, such as gene doping, as well as introducing the classic ethical debates that define our understanding of sport, sporting behavior and sport in practice. The book is arranged into ten thematic sections, each of which includes an introduction by the editor that highlights those key themes and places each article in context, and offers suggestions for further reading. The Ethics of Sports sheds new light on a wide range of issues within contemporary sports studies, including drugs, disability, gender and ethnicity; the practice of physical education and sports coaching; sports media, sports business, and research ethics within sport. It is essential reading for all students with an interest in sport or applied ethics.

’This important and comprehensive collection explores disability from a range of theoretical perspectives including the ontology of disability – how liberty, justice, equality and disability are linked, as well as ethics and disability – and gives new insights into current debates on disability. This collection is a welcome contribution to the maturing of disability studies and clearly shows the invaluable contribution that philosophy can make to debates on disability and disability research.’ – Nick Watson, University of Glasgow, UK Disability is a thorny and muddled concept – especially in the field of disability studies – and social accounts contest with more traditional biologically based approaches in highly politicized debates. Sustained theoretical scrutiny has sometimes been lost amongst the controversy and philosophical issues have often been overlooked in favour of the sociological. Arguing about Disability fills that gap by offering analysis and debate concerning the moral nature of institutions, policy and practice, and their significance for disabled people and society. This pioneering collection is divided into three sections covering definitions and theories of disability; disabled people in society; and applied ethics. Each contributor is drawn from a wide range of academic backgrounds including disability studies, sociology, psychology, education, philosophy, law, and health science and uses a philosophical framework to explore a central issue in disability studies. The issues discussed include personhood, disability as a phenomenon, social justice, discrimination and inclusion.

Practical Autonomy and Bioethics James Stacey Taylor, The College of New Jersey, USA Series: Routledge Annals of Bioethics This is the first volume in which an account of personal autonomy is developed that both captures the contours of this concept as it is used in social philosophy and bioethics, and is theoretically grounded in, and a part of, contemporary autonomy theory. James Stacey Taylor’s account is unique as it is explicitly a political one, recognizing that the attribution of autonomy to agents is dependent in part on their relationships with others and not merely upon their own mental states. The volume is distinctive in its examples, which touch on the ethics of using inducements to encourage persons to participate in medical research, the ethical issues associated with the use of antibiotics, and the ethical basis for both patient confidentiality and informed consent.

This exciting text engages with the issue of ethical dilemmas encountered in different organizations. Rather than exploring the definition of ethical conduct, this book focuses on the way in which the process of organization produces dilemmas of ethical behaviour. Using illustrative accounts from corporate settings as a basis, the book explores the conditions that lead to ethical dilemmas and the strategies organizations adopt to deal with these dilemmas or steer away from them. The book suggests that ethical dilemmas are often dealt with by directing attention away from the core problem, rather than engaging with and solving it. This is a fascinating text, which raises important questions and provides a deeper understanding of the dynamics of ethical processes. A company’s ethical behaviour is a major criterion by which the company, its products and services are judged and is therefore crucial to sound management in today’s organizations. Ethical Dilemmas in Management is essential reading for all students of business and management and ethics. 2008: 234x156: 184pp Hb: 978-0-415-43759-2: £90.00 Pb: 978-0-415-43760-8: £24.99 eBook: 978-0-203-89156-8 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415437608 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

Plato and Levinas The Ambiguous Out-Side of Ethics Tanja Staehler, University of Sussex, UK In the second half of the twentieth century, ethics has gained considerable prominence within philosophy. In contrast to other scholars, Levinas proposed that it is not one philosophical discipline among many, but the most fundamental and essential one. Before philosophy became divided into disciplines, Plato also treated the question of the Good as the most important philosophical question. Levinas’ approach to ethics begins in the encounter with the other as the most basic experience of responsibility. He acknowledges the necessity to move beyond this initial, dyadic encounter, but has problems extending his approach to a larger dimension, such as community. To shed light on this dilemma, Tanja Staehler examines broader dimensions which are linked to the political realm, and the problems they pose for ethics. Staehler demonstrates that both Plato and Levinas come to identify three realms as ambiguous: the erotic, the artistic, and the political. In each case, there is a precarious position in relation to ethics. However, neither Plato nor Levinas explores ambiguity in itself. Staehler argues that these ambiguous dimensions can contribute to revealing the Other’s vulnerability without diminishing the fundamental role of unambiguous ethical responsibility.

Arguing About Political Philosophy

Political Obligation

Edited by Matt Zwolinski, University of San Diego, USA

A Critical Introduction

An Introduction to Philosophy and International Relations

Series: Arguing About Philosophy

Series: Routledge Contemporary Political Philosophy

Arguing About Political Philosophy is an engaging survey of political philosophy perfect for beginning and advanced undergraduates. Selections cover classic philosophical sources such as Rousseau and Locke, as well as contemporary writers such as Nozick and Dworkin. In addition, this text includes a number of readings drawn from economics, literature, and sociology which serve to introduce philosophical questions about politics in a novel and intriguing way. As well as standard topics such as political authority and distributive justice, special attention is given to global issues which have become especially pressing in recent years, such as the right of individuals or groups to secede, the nature of global distributive justice, the morality of immigration, and the moral status of war and terrorism.

Political obligation is concerned with the clash between the individual’s claim to self-governance and the right of the state to claim their obedience. It is a central problem in political philosophy and political theory and its origins can be traced back to Ancient Greece. In this authoritative introduction to the topic, Dudley Knowles frames the question of political obligation in terms of the duties citizens have to the state and each other.

Over the past two decades, philosophical considerations have become more prominent in mainstream discussions in the field of international relations. There has been a wave of discussions about how we go about producing knowledge of global politics, paying close attention to recent developments in the philosophy of science.

He introduces and examines the topic of obligation – who is obliged, what reasons are put forward to justify obligation, obligation and justice, and disobedience before assessing arguments that have so far been used to ground obligation: utilitarianism, contract and consent and gratitude. Knowles defends anarchist, conservative and communitarian arguments against liberal ideas of citizens’ duties before concluding that there can be no general political obligation.

Global Ethics

The volume is divided into three parts – Foundational Concepts; Government, the Economy and Morality; and Global Justice – helping the student get to grips with classic and core arguments and emerging debates in: •political authority •rights •justice •political economy •property rights •distributive justice •freedom •equality •immigration •war, humanitarianism, and torture. Matt Zwolinski provides lucid and engaging introductions to each section, giving an overview of the debate and outlining the arguments of each section’s readings. Arguing About Political Philosophy is an exciting introduction for students new to political philosophy.

Anarchy, Freedom and International Relations Mervyn Frost, King’s College, London, UK Series: Critical Issues in Global Politics This provocative and original book provides a concise explanation of why global politics must be understood in ethical terms. Mervyn Frost illustrates the theory with a series of detailed case studies on the Iraq war, the War on Terror, Iran, the use of private military companies, migration and terrorism and in so doing he forces the reader to confront their own necessary engagement as ethical citizens of a global society.

Why Read Mill Today? John Skorupski John Stuart Mill is one of the greatest thinkers of the nineteenth century. But does he have anything to teach us today? His deep concern for freedom of the individual is thought by some to be outdated and inadequate to the cultural and religious complexities of twenty-first century life. In this succinct and shrewd book, John Skorupski argues that Mill is a profound and inspiring social and political thinker from whom we still have much to learn. He reflects on Mill’s central arguments in his most famous works, including Utilitarianism and On Liberty.

Series: Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

Series: Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought ’This book is the one scholars and students should turn to for the much needed analysis of the key theoretical concepts in Foucault’s work – concepts such as power, subjectivity, resistance and critique. It also provides a sustained defense of the consistency of Foucault’s views over time. Kelly has succeeded in grasping Foucault from the inside out. – David Weberman, Central European University, Hungary

This book compares Karl Popper and Friedrich Hayek, systematically and critically assessing their contribution to the political philosophy of the Open Society, and is controversial in that they are defended in areas where they are usually criticized. 2008: 234x156: 304pp Hb: 978-0-415-77289-1: £75.00 eBook: 978-0-203-88999-2 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415772891

This book is the first to systematically reconstruct Foucault’s political and philosophical thought across his career, arguing that Foucault had a consistent but ever-growing political and philosophical viewpoint.

The Moral Rhetoric of Political Economy Paul Turpin, Gustavus Adolphus College, USA Series: Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy Two of the most important economics treatise are Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations and Milton Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom. In this book, Paul Turpin provides a rhetorical analysis of these texts arguing that both Smith and Friedman use argumentative and narrative depictions of character to reinforce a sense of societal decorum as a stabilizing foundation for their theories of liberal political economy. The comparison of Smith and Friedman by itself is a major contribution to the development of the history of economic thought. It adds a new, historical, depth to the heterodox analyses and critiques of twentieth century economics by writers such as Giocoli and Mirowski. The issue of the social constitution of identity, which is at the core of this book, is a hot topic in economic methodology and as such this book by a promising young historian of economic thought will be roundly applauded.

International Relations Theory and Philosophy

NEW

Thomas Hobbes and Carl Schmitt Order, Myth, and the Politics of Concealment Edited by Johan Tralau, Uppsala University, Sweden Thomas Hobbes, the English seventeenth century philosopher, and Carl Schmitt, Hitler’s ’crown jurist’, a political thinker and author of an enigmatic book on Hobbes, are increasingly relevant today for two reasons. First, they address the problem of political order, so important when we witness failed states, the privatisation of war, and the rise of political violence that does not derive from the state. Secondly, they are both crucial sources for the use of mythology in politics; moreover, they address the key issue of our time, namely, the relation between politics and religion. This collection of important new essays addresses Hobbes and Schmitt as political thinkers, their importance for present-day politics and society, their conceptions of myth and politics, and Schmitt’s use of Hobbes in (and some say against) the Third Reich. When myth, violence and revelation re-emerge as political forces, it is important to understand Hobbes’s and Schmitt’s answers to the problems of their time – and to those of ours.

Series: Routledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politics This book discusses the contribution of philosophers and thinkers whose ideas have recently begun to permeate international relations theory. It provides an introduction to the contemporary debates regarding theories and methodologies used to study international relations, particularly the relationships between interpretive accounts of social action, European philosophical traditions, hermeneutics and the discipline of international relations. The authors provide a platform for dialogue between theorists and researchers engaged in a more specific area studies, geo-political studies, political theory and historical accounts of international politics. The volume analyzes a variety of theoretical and explores the work of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Gramsci, Wittgenstein, Gadamer, Levinas, Bakhtin, Patocka, Derridean, Deleuze and Susan Sontag.

Edited by Stephen De Wijze, University of Manchester, UK, Matthew H. Kramer, Cambridge University, UK and Ian Carter, University of Pavia, Italy Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy Throughout the English-speaking world, and in the many other countries where analytic philosophy is studied, Hillel Steiner is esteemed as one of the foremost contemporary political philosophers. This volume is designed as a festschrift for Steiner and as an important collection of philosophical essays in its own right. The editors have assembled a roster of highly distinguished international contributors, all of whom are eager to pay tribute to Steiner by focusing on topics on which he himself has concentrated. Some of the contributors engage directly with Steiner’s work, whereas others focus not directly on his writings but instead grapple with issues that have figured prominently therein. Each essay seeks to advance the debates in which Steiner himself has so notably participated. The study concludes with a response by Steiner himself.

Intergenerational Justice

Enlightenment Political Thought and Non-Western Societies Sultans and Savages

Dialectics, Politics, and the Contemporary Value of Hegel’s Practical Philosophy

Janna Thompson, La Trobe University, Australia

Frederick G. Whelan, University of Pittsburgh, USA

Andrew Buchwalter

Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy In this timely study, Janna Thompson presents a theory of intergenerational justice that gives citizens duties to past and future generations, showing why people can make legitimate demands of their successors and explaining what relationships between contemporary generations count as fair. What connects these various responsibilities and entitlements is a view about individual interests that both argues that individuals are motivated by intergenerational concerns, and that a polity that appropriately recognizes these interests must support and accept intergenerational responsibilities.

Series: Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought Frederick G. Whelan, a leading scholar of Enlightenment political thought, provides an illuminating and incisive interpretation of key eighteenth and nineteenth century European political thinkers’ accounts and assessments of the societies and political institutes of the non-Western world. These writers opened up a major new comparative dimension for political theory and its project both to explain and evaluate different political regimes. While the intellectual confrontation of European thinkers with alien cultures tended on the whole to confirm Westerners’ sense of the superiority of their own institutions, it was also characterized – during the Enlightenment more so than later – by convictions regarding a common humanity and a corresponding sympathetic curiosity about different ways of life, however primitive or exotic they might appear. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of both political philosophy and thought as well as historians of this important period of history.

Series: Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Philosophy This book explores and details the actuality (Aktualität) of Hegel’s social and political philosophy – its relevance, topicality, presence, and contemporary validity. It asserts – against the assumptions of those in a wide range of traditions – that Hegel’s thought not only remains relevant to debates in current social and political theory, but is capable of productively enhancing and enriching those debates. The book is divided into three main sections. Part one considers the actuality of Hegel’s social and political thought in the context of a constructed dialogues with later social and political theorists, including Marx, Adorno, Habermas, and Rawls. Part two explores Hegel’s internal criticism of Enlightenment rationality as well as the unique manner in which his thought reaffirms both the classical tradition of politics and the Christian conception of freedom in order to deepen and further develop our understanding of modernity and modern secularity. Finally, part three considers Hegel’s contribution to current theorizing about globalization.

Rights and Responsibilities in an Intergenerational Polity

The book ranges over the philosophical, ethical, political and environmental questions raised by intergenerational issues: how we can have duties to non-existent people, whether we can wrong the dead or be held responsible for what they did, what sacrifices we should make for our successors, and whether we have duties to people of the remote future. Encompassing the ethical problems created by demographic change, the ethical issues of population control and intergenerational implications of new technologies for creating people, this book will be of interest to those studying philosophy, politics, legal theory, and environmental studies.

In this edited collection, the contributors – many among the foremost Said scholars in the world – examine Said as the literary critic; his relationship to other major contemporary thinkers (including Derrida, Ricoeur, Barthes and Bloom); and his involvement with major movements and concerns of his time (such as music, Feminism, New Humanism, and Marxism).

Thin Communitarian Perspectives on Political Philosophy and Education

Edited by Michael Huspek, California State University, USA

Mark Olssen, University of Surrey, UK

Series: Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought When citizens take to the streets or pack assembly halls or share their ideas through the minority press, they often give voice to truths and logic that have otherwise been given little or no airing through the available institutional channels offered by democratic states. Such discourses offer new rhetorical strategies for the expression of citizen desires, needs and emotions that otherwise go unrecognized and unaddressed. They also offer impetus for new forms of deliberation and informed action that can result in real political change. This collection explores the tensions between democratic states and the dynamics of citizen voice. In so doing, the collection addresses such questions as: What role do oppositional discourses play in increased democratization? Can oppositional discourses be sustained over time? How do states resist pressures to democratize? This volume will be of interest to students and scholars in politics, sociology, and communication.

Series: Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought The Credit Crunch of 2008 has exposed the fallacies of neoliberalism and its thesis of the self-regulating market, which has been ascendant in both economic theory and policy over the last thirty years. In moving beyond neoliberalism, social democratic arguments are once again coming to the fore; however, in the context of the twenty-first century, they will need to be theorized in relation to new global concerns. This book critically revisits the core theses of liberalism and neoliberalism that have provided philosophical support to free market economics – as enunciated in the writings of liberal political philosophers such as Friedrich von Hayek, Karl Popper and Isaiah Berlin – and seeks to expose the deficiencies of their beliefs that became hegemonic from the 1970s until the first decades of the present century. In moving beyond the formulas and mantras of liberalism, the book seeks to re-theorize social democracy and articulate a new vision of the political arrangements needed for the twenty-first century by reconsidering issues such as liberty, autonomy, social dependence and multiculturalism.

The Contemporary Goffman Edited by Michael Hviid Jacobsen, Aalborg University, Denmark Series: Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought The sociology of Erving Goffman has inspired generations of sociologists throughout the world. Students and scholars alike have in Goffman’s unsurpassable and generous ability to capture the world of everyday life, discovered an emporium of useful, incisive and quite often humorous analyses, concepts and ideas. The Contemporary Goffman highlights the continued relevance of Goffman to sociology and related disciplines – to theoretical discussions as well as to substantive empirical research – through contributions dealing with a variety of topics and themes. Some contributions concentrate on locating or reinterpreting Goffman’s work as a special kind of sociology (as is found in his literary sensibilities or his fieldwork strategies). Others focus on overlooked aspects and neglected potentials of his sociology (by applying his perspective to studies of gender, emotions and violence), while others still relate his concepts and ideas to substantive research areas (such as the media, mobile telephones, hospitals, surveillance technologies and tourism).

Featuring lucid general and section introductions and a glossary by volume editor Kevin Timpe, Arguing About Religion is an ideal starting point for students coming to philosophy of religion for the first time.

Introducing Philosophy of Religion

In Consciousness and the Existence of God, J.P. Moreland argues that the existence of finite, irreducible consciousness (or its regular, law-like correlation with physical states) provides evidence for the existence of God. Moreover, he analyzes and criticizes the top representative of rival approaches to explaining the origin of consciousness, including John Searle’s contingent correlation, Timothy O’Connor’s emergent necessitation, Colin McGinn’s mysterian ’naturalism’, David Skrbina’s panpsychism and Philip Clayton’s pluralistic emergentist monism. Moreland concludes that these approaches should be rejected in favor of what he calls ’the Argument from Consciousness’.

Bringing together a remarkable team of distinguished scholars, The Routledge Companion to Early Christian Thought is the ideal companion for those seeking to understand the way in which Early Christian thought developed within its broader cultural milieu and was communicated through its literature, especially as it was directed toward theological concerns. Divided into three parts, the Companion: •asks how Christianity’s development was impacted by its interaction with cultural, philosophical, and religious elements within the broader context of the second and third centuries •examines the way in which Early Christian thought was manifest in key individuals and literature in these centuries •analyzes Early Christian thought as it was directed toward theological concerns such as God, Christ, Redemption, Scripture, and the community and its worship.

Violence to Eternity Grace M. Jantzen, University of Manchester, UK Edited by Jeremy Carrette, University of Kent, UK and Morny Joy, University of Calgary, Canada In this volume Grace M. Jantzen continues her groundbreaking analysis of death and beauty in western thought by examining the religious roots of death and violence in the Jewish and Christian tradition, which underlie contemporary values. Jantzen’s internationally recognised feminist philosophy of religion puts forward a powerful analysis of patriarchy and violence and reveals the hidden power of nationality. Her work is a searching challenge for our times and one that gives hope in a violent world. This work is the first of two posthumous publications to complete her impressive genealogy death and beauty of western thought.

Philosophy of Religion

Desire and Motivation in Indian Philosophy

Edited by William J. Wainwright, University of Wisconsin, USA

Christopher G. Framarin, University of Calgary, Canada

Series: Critical Concepts in Philosophy

Series: Routledge Hindu Studies Series

The past forty years or so have witnessed a renaissance in the philosophy of religion. New tools (modal logic, probability theory, and so on) and new historical research have prompted many thinkers to take a fresh look at old topics (God’s existence, the problem of evil, faith and reason, and the like). Moreover, sophisticated examinations of contentious new issues, such as the problem of religious diversity or the role of emotions and other non-evidential factors in shaping rationally held religious beliefs, have also emerged.

Desireless action is typically cited as a criterion of the liberated person in classical Indian texts. Contemporary authors argue with near unanimity that since all action is motivated by desire, desireless action is a contradiction. They conclude that desireless action is action performed without certain desires; other desires are permissible.

Addressing the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of this rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of scholarly literature, Philosophy of Religion is a new title in the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in Philosophy. Edited by a leading scholar, it is a four-volume collection which brings together key examples of the most important recent work, together with carefully selected historical pieces needed to understand them. Volume one focuses on concepts of the divine while volume two explores arguments for and against the existence of a divine reality, with special attention to the problem of evil, the problem of divine hiddenness, and the case for naturalism. Volume three and the first part of volume four are devoted to broadly epistemic issues: the cognitive value of religious experience; the proper role of evidence in the formation of religious belief; the nature of justified religious belief; and pragmatic arguments for religious belief. The remainder of volume four introduces some of the best recent work on religious diversity, tolerance, and the public role of religion in a pluralistic society.

In this book, the author surveys the contemporary literature on desireless action and argues that the arguments for the standard interpretation are unconvincing. He translates, interprets, and evaluates passages from a number of seminal classical Sanskrit texts, and argues that the doctrine of desireless action should indeed be taken literally, as the advice to act without any desire at all. The author argues that the theories of motivation advanced in these texts are not only consistent, but plausible. This book is the first in-depth analysis of the doctrine of desireless action in Indian philosophy. It serves as a reference to both contemporary and classical literature on the topic, and will be of interest to scholars of Indian philosophy, religion, the Bhagavadgita and Hinduism.

Theism and Explanation Gregory W. Dawes, University of Otago, New Zealand Series: Routledge Studies in the Philosophy of Religion In this timely study, Dawes defends the methodological naturalism of the sciences. Though religions offer what appear to be explanations of various facts about the world, the scientist, as a scientist, will not take such proposed explanations seriously. Even if no natural explanation were available, she will assume that one exists. Is this merely a sign of atheistic prejudice, as some critics suggest? Or are there good reasons to exclude from science explanations that invoke a supernatural agent? On the one hand, Dawes concedes the bare possibility that talk of divine action could constitute a potential explanation of some state of affairs, while noting that the conditions under which this would be true are unlikely ever to be fulfilled. On the other hand, he argues that a proposed explanation of this kind would rate poorly, when measured against our usual standards of explanatory virtue.

Edited by Christopher Grau, Clemson University, USA With a Foreword from Director Michel Gondry Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of the most widely discussed and thought-provoking films of recent years. Exploring a future where it is possible to have memories erased, it raises many intriguing and important philosophical questions spanning ethics, personal identity, the emotions and philosophy of mind. Beginning with a helpful introduction that places the film in context, specially commissioned chapters examine the following topics: •the role of memory in personal identity and understanding one’s own life •philosophical issues surrounding love and friendship •the morality of forgetting and formulating judgements based on past events

Series: Routledge Studies in Religion This book argues that the Christian doctrine of creatio ex nihilo (creation out of nothing) sets up a support system for a ’logic of domination’ toward human and earth others. Conceptually inspired by the work of theologian Catherine Keller and feminist philosopher of the environment Val Plumwood, it follows a genealogical method in examining how the concept of creation out of nothing materializes in the world throughout different periods in the history of the Christian West.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

•the idea of care and the morality of imagination

NEW

•distortion of past events and memories in relation to philosophical questions about rationality

•philosophical questions about self-knowledge and knowing the minds of others.

Metaphysical and Epistemological Puzzles Evan Fales, University of Iowa, USA Series: Routledge Studies in Philosophy of Religion The central theme of this book is that it’s not enough to invoke omnipotence and omniscience as answers to the questions of God’s ability to create and causally affect the world (i.e., perform miracles) and human beings (i.e., to cause mystical experiences) and, conversely, God’s ability to perceive, or otherwise know about the world. Rather, it is incumbent upon theists to explain just how a personal, immaterial being such as God could cause mundane events, could institute (and sometimes circumvent) laws of nature, could be causally affected by the world (as in perception), and the like. That requires examining current thinking (which is diverse) about the very nature of causation, laws of nature, and agency, all of which Fales endeavors to do in this study.

This is the first book to explore and address the myriad philosophical questions raised by the film, including personal identity, free will, memory, knowledge, and action. It also explores problems raised by the film for aesthetics, such as narrative structure, ontology and genre. Beginning with a helpful introduction that places the film in context, specially commissioned chapters examine the following topics: •memory, emotion and self-consciousness •agency, free will and responsibility •personal identity •narrative and popular cinema •film genre such as neo-noir •Memento and multimedia.

Pedro Almodóvar is one of the most renowned film directors of recent years. Talk to Her is one of the most discussed and controversial of all his films. Dealing principally with the issue of rape, it also offers profound insights into the nature of love and friendship whilst raising important philosophical and moral questions in unsettling and often paradoxical ways. This is the first book to explore and address the philosophical aspects of Almodóvar’s film. Opening with a helpful introduction by Noël Carroll that places the film in context, specially commissioned chapters examine the following topics: •the relationship between art and morality and the problem of ’immoralism’

’This is an exciting new anthology on one of the most philosophical of filmmakers. The essays are original, provocative, and ruminative – just like Malick’s work – and explore how film itself may serve as a spur to our philosophical reflections regarding death, calm, humanity, sense, and nature.’ – Daniel Flory, Montana State University, USA The Thin Red Line is the third feature-length film from acclaimed director Terrence Malick, set during the struggle between American and Japanese forces for Guadalcanal in the South Pacific during World War Two. It is a powerful, enigmatic and complex film that raises important philosophical questions, ranging from the existential and phenomenological to the artistic and technical.

•the nature of dialogue, sexual objectification and what ’listening to’ means in the context of gender

This is the first collection dedicated to exploring the philosophical aspects of Malick’s film. Opening with a helpful introduction that places the film in context, five essays, four of which were specially commissioned for this collection, go on to examine the following:

•Almodóvar’s use of allusion and the unmasking of appearances to explore hidden themes in human nature.

•the exploration of Heideggerian themes – such as being-towards-death and the vulnerability of Dasein’s world – in The Thin Red Line

Including a biography of Almodóvar, Talk to Her is essential reading for students interested in philosophy and film as well as ethics and gender. It is also provides an accessible and informative insight into philosophy for those in related disciplines such as film studies, literature and religion.

PHILOSOPHY OF FILM, ART AND LITERATURE

NEW

Film and Ethics Foreclosed Encounters Lisa Downing, University of Exeter, UK and Libby Saxton, Queen Mary, University of London, UK In recent years, film scholarship has become increasingly preoccupied by ethical questions and filmmakers have responded in a variety of ways to the challenge of adequately representing identity, difference and the relationship between self and other. This book sets out to address and redress this oversight in current thinking on cinema – a reluctance to view the moving image in explicitly ethical terms. On the one hand, the book revisits existing film theory in order to articulate its ethical content; on the other, it forges new connections between an eclectic corpus of films and recent strands of ethical thought by Lacan, Levinas, Derrida and Žižek. In an academic climate in which ethical concerns are gaining critical currency, this is the first book to establish dialogue between the phenomenology of cinema and ethical thought.

Thinking on Screen

The Routledge Companion to Philosophy and Film

2ND EDITION

Edited by Paisley Livingston, Lingnan University, Hong Kong and Carl Plantinga, Calvin College, USA

Stephen Mulhall, New College, Oxford, UK

On Film

Thinking on Screen: Film as Philosophy is an accessible and thought-provoking examination of the way films raise and explore complex philosophical ideas. Written in a clear and engaging style, Thomas Wartenberg examines films’ ability to discuss, and even criticize ideas that have intrigued and puzzled philosophers over the centuries such as the nature of personhood, the basis of morality, and epistemological skepticism. Beginning with a demonstration of how specific forms of philosophical discourse are presented cinematically, Wartenberg moves on to offer a systematic account of the ways in which specific films undertake the task of philosophy. Focusing on the films The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Modern Times, The Matrix, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Third Man, The Flicker, and Empire, Wartenberg shows how these films express meaningful and pertinent philosophical ideas.

In this significantly expanded edition of his acclaimed exploration of the four Alien movies, Stephen Mulhall adds several new chapters on Steven Spielberg’s Mission: Impossible trilogy and Minority Report.

Series: Routledge Philosophy Companions ’The Routledge Companion to Philosophy and Film features incisive, illuminating, welldocumented essays authored by a wide range of established major players and a new generation of philosophers of film. This book will be a godsend for teachers of the subject at all levels as well as an indispensable reference volume for anyone interested in exploring the invitation to philosophical reflection that the medium of film inexorably extends to us.’ – Nancy Bauer, Tufts University, USA The Routledge Companion to Philosophy and Film is the first comprehensive volume to explore the main themes, topics, thinkers and issues in philosophy and film. The Companion features sixty specially commissioned chapters from international scholars and is divided into four clear parts: issues and concepts, authors and trends, genres and film as philosophy. Each chapter includes a section of annotated further reading and is cross-referenced to related entries. 2008: 246x174: 704pp Hb: 978-0-415-77166-5: £95.00 eBook: 978-0-203-87932-0 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415771665

The first part of the book discusses the four Alien movies. Mulhall argues that the sexual significance of the aliens themselves, and of Ripley’s resistance to them, takes us deep into the question of what it is to be human. At the heart of the book is a highly original and controversial argument that films themselves can philosophize. Mulhall then applies his interpretative model to another sequence of contemporary Hollywood movies: the Mission: Impossible series. A brand new chapter is devoted to each of the three films in the series, and to other films by the relevant directors that cast light on their individual contribution to it. In this discussion, the nature of television becomes as central a concern as the nature of cinema; and the shift in generic focus from science fiction to thriller also makes room for a detailed reading of Spielberg’s Minority Report. On Film, is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, film theory and cultural studies, and in the way philosophy can enrich our understanding of cinema. 2008: 216x138: 288pp Pb: 978-0-415-44153-7: £14.99 eBook: 978-0-203-92852-3 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415441537

Six Names of Beauty

Art and Phenomenology

Crispin Sartwell

Edited by Joseph Parry Philosophy of art is traditionally concerned with questions connected with the definition, appreciation and value of art. As such, questions about the perceptual and embodied experience of art and artworks are often sidelined. Through a close examination of art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Art and Phenomenology is one of the first books to explore visual art as a mode of experiencing the world itself, showing how in the words of Merleau-Ponty ’Painting does not imitate the world, but is a world of its own’.

Peter Goldie, Manchester University, UK and Elisabeth Schellekens, Durham University, UK Who’s Afraid of Conceptual Art? is a much-needed philosophical inquiry into these questions and more. Peter Goldie and Elisabeth Schellekens first address, and try to clear up, much of the puzzlement, frustration, irritation and resentment felt about conceptual art. Secondly, they use conceptual art to bring to life and to reformulate some of the main issues and theories in contemporary philosophical aesthetics. These problems include the way conceptual art challenges definitions of art; why it displaces epistemological and cognitive approaches to art, making it hard to say what we can know about art, if anything; and why it raises such thorny problems about artistic appreciation and interpretation. The book includes several illustrations of the work of celebrated conceptual artists to bring these issues and theories to life: Sol le Witt, Joseph Beuys, Joseph Kosuth, Bruce Nauman, Gilbert and George, Michael Craig Martin, and Jeremy Deller. Who’s Afraid of Conceptual Art? is essential reading for students of philosophy, art and visual studies and anyone intrigued but perplexed by art in general.

What is computer art? Do the concepts we usually employ to talk about art, such as ’meaning’, ’form’ or ’expression’ apply to computer art? A Philosophy of Computer Art is the first book to explore these questions. Dominic Lopes argues that computer art challenges some of the basic tenets of traditional ways of thinking about and making art and that to understand computer art we need to place particular emphasis on terms such as ’interactivity’ and ’user’. Drawing on a wealth of examples he also explains how the roles of the computer artist and computer art user distinguishes them from makers and spectators of traditional art forms and argues that computer art allows us to understand better the role of technology as an art medium.

In this clear, accessible guide, Séan Hand examines why Levinas is increasingly fundamental to the study of literature and culture today. Exploring the intellectual and social contexts of his work and the events that shaped it, Hand considers: •the influence of phenomenology and Judaism on Levinas’s thought •key concepts such as the ’face’, the ’other’, ethical consciousness and responsibility •Levinas’ work on aesthetics •the relationship of philosophy and religion in his writings •the interaction of his work with historical discussions •his often complex relationships with other theorists and theories. 2008: 198x129: 160pp Hb: 978-0-415-40276-7: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-40275-0: £12.99 eBook: 978-0-203-88805-6 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415402750 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

Hannah Arendt Simon Swift, University of Leeds, UK Series: Routledge Critical Thinkers Hannah Arendt’s work offers a powerful critical engagement with the cultural and philosophical crises of mid-twentieth-century Europe. Her idea of the banality of evil, made famous after her report on the trial of the Nazi war criminal, Adolf Eichmann, remains controversial to this day. In the face of 9/11 and the War on Terror, Arendt’s work on the politics of freedom and the rights of man in a democratic state are especially relevant. Her impassioned plea for the creation of a public sphere through free, critical thinking and dialogue provides a significant resource for contemporary thought. 2008: 198x129: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-42585-8: £55.00 Pb: 978-0-415-42586-5: £12.99 eBook: 978-0-203-88967-1 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/978041542586 • AVAILABLE AS AN INSPECTION COPY

Rationality and the Literate Mind

Shakespeare and Philosophy

Roy Harris, University of Oxford, UK

Stanley Stewart, University of California, Riverside, USA

Series: Routledge Advances in Communication and Linguistic Theory This book re-examines the old debate about the relationship between rationality and literacy. Does writing ’restructure consciousness’? Do preliterate societies have a different ’mind-set’ from literate societies? Is reason ’built in’ to the way we think? How is literacy related to numeracy? Is the ’logical form’ that Western philosophers recognize anything more than an extrapolation from the structure of the written sentence? Is logic, as developed formally in Western education, intrinsically beyond the reach of the preliterate mind? What light, if any, do the findings of contemporary neuroscience throw on such issues?

Roy Harris challenges the received mainstream opinion that reason is an intrinsic property of the human mind, and argues that the whole Western conception of rational thought, from Classical Greece down to modern symbolic logic, is a byproduct of the way literacy developed in European cultures.

Reference

Touching on the work of philosophers including, Richardson, Kant, Hume, Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, and Dewey, this study will examine the history of what philosophers have had to say about ’Shakespeare’ as a subject of philosophy, from the seventeenth century to the present. Stanley Stewart’s volume will be of interest to Shakespeareans, literary critics, and philosophers.

Series: Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy Literary scholarship has paid little serious attention to Habermas’ philosophy, and, on the other hand, the reception of Habermas has given little attention to the role that literary practice can play in a broader theory of communicative action. David Colclasure’s argument sets out to demonstrate that a specific, literary form of rationality inheres in literary practice and the public reception of literary works which provides a unique contribution to the political public sphere.

PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIOLOGY

A Theory of Race

Keeping Faith

NEW

Joshua Glasgow, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

Philosophy and Race in America

Philosophical Perspectives on Gender in Sports

’Glasgow’s book is a lucid, measured, and extremely valuable contribution to current discourse about race. It will go into the canon of serious analysis of race which has to be consulted by careful scholars.’ – Naomi Zack, University of Oregon, USA Social commentators have long asked whether racial categories should be conserved or eliminated from our practices, discourse, institutions, and perhaps even private thoughts. Joshua Glasgow argues that this set of choices unnecessarily presents us with too few options. Using both traditional philosophical tools and recent psychological research to investigate folk understandings of race, Glasgow argues that, as ordinarily conceived, race is an illusion. However, our pressing need to speak to and make sense of social life requires that we employ something like racial discourse. These competing pressures, Glasgow maintains, ultimately require us to stop conceptualizing race as something biological, and instead understand it as an entirely social phenomenon. 2008: 234x156: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-99072-1: £70.00 Pb: 978-0-415-99073-8: £21.99 eBook: 978-0-203-88095-1 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415990738

Drawing upon the traditions of Western philosophy and modernity, Cornel West critiques structures of power and oppression as they operate within American society and provides a way of thinking about human dignity and difference afresh. Impressive in its scope, West confidently and deftly explores the politics and philosophy of America, the role of the black intellectual, legal theory and the future of liberal thought, and the fate of African Americans. A celebration of the extraordinary lives of ordinary Americans, Keeping Faith is a petition to hope and a call to faith in the redemptive power of the human spirit. 2008: 174x234: 304pp Pb: 978-0-415-96481-4: £14.99 For more information, visit: www.routledge.com/9780415964814

Feminist Encounters with Legal Philosophy Edited by Maria Drakopoulou, University of Kent, UK Presenting feminist readings of texts from the legal philosophical and jurisprudential canon, the papers collected here offer an interdisciplinary and critical challenge to established modes of reading law. Feminist approaches to law usually take the form of either critical engagements with legal doctrine, legal concepts and ideas, or critical assessments of the effects that specific areas of law have upon the lives of women. This collection, however, although rooted in feminist legal scholarship, takes the established canon of legal texts as the object of inquiry. Taking as their common starting point the fact that legal texts are plural and open to multiple readings, all the contributions in this collection offer subversive, but supplementary, interpretations of the legal canon. In this respect, however, they do not merely sustain an array of feminist styles and theories of reading. Revealing, and re-appropriating, the plural space of legal interpretation, they seek to open a hitherto unexplored arena for a feminist politics of law.

Edited by Paul Davis, University of Edinburgh, UK and Charlene Weaving, St Francis Xavier University, Canada This book draws together philosophically significant essays in the area of sex and gender in sport. While much has been written from a sociological and cultural studies perspective on the subjects of sex and gender in sport, this collection represents the first genuinely philosophically motivated anthology of essays on the subject. The collection covers five major themes: •sport and the construction of the female •objectification and the sexualisation of sport •sex boundaries: obstruction, naturalisation and opposition •homophobia •sex, gender and the practice of sport. With contributions from many of the world’s leading scholars in this area, this book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in sport and its relationships to gender, philosophy or culture.

A Philosophical Investigation of Rape The Making and Unmaking of the Feminine Self Louise du Toit, University of Johannesburg, South Africa Series: Routledge Research in Gender and Society This book offers a critical feminist perspective on the widely debated topic of transitional justice and forgiveness. Louise du Toit examines the phenomenon of rape with a feminist philosophical discourse concerning women’s or ’feminine’ subjectivity and selfhood. She demonstrates how the hierarchical dichotomy of male active versus female passive sexuality – which obscures the true nature of rape – is embedded in the dominant western symbolic frame. Through a Hegelian and phenomenological reading of first-person accounts by rape victims, she excavates an understanding of rape that also starts to open up a way out of the denial and destruction of female sexual subjectivity.

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION AND LAW

NEW

Philosophy of Education The Essential Texts Edited by Steven M. Cahn, City University of New York, USA Philosophy of education is a study both of the aims of education and the most appropriate means of achieving those aims. This volume contains substantial selections from those works widely regarded as central to the development of the field. These are the ’essential texts’ that lay the foundation for further study. The text is historically organized, moving from classical thought (Plato, Aristotle), through the medieval period (Augustine), to modern perspectives (Locke, Rousseau, Wollstonecraft), and twentieth century thinkers (Whitehead, Dewey). Each selection is followed by an extended interpretative essay in which a noted authority of our time highlights essential points from the readings and places them in a wider context. Exhibiting both breadth and depth, this text is ideal as a reader for courses in philosophy of education, foundations of education, and the history of ideas.

The War for Children’s Minds

Education, Science and Truth

Stephen Law

Rasoul Nejadmehr

’The War for Children’s Minds is a brilliantly clear and convincingly argued defence of liberalism in moral education. Stephen Law examines and demolishes all the arguments in favour of authoritarian ways of teaching, and shows that in spite of the insistence of popular commentators from the religious right, a liberal and rational examination and discussion of moral questions does not lead to relativism and the decay of ethical behaviour, but can in fact be the best defence against them. This book won’t be read by popular journalists: they will attack it without reading it. But it should be read by every teacher, every parent, and every politician. What’s more, it should form the subject for discussion in every church, synagogue, mosque, and religious youth group. It’s one of the most engaging as well as one of the most necessary books that I’ve ever read in the field of moral education.’ – Philip Pullman

Series: Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education What is the main problem of contemporary education? Rasoul Nejadmehr argues that the cardinal problem with education is that it does not have an adequate notion of truth underpinning it. Thinkers mainly tend to veer towards two poles – absolutism and relativism. While a one-sided tendency toward absolutism leads to reified categories of thought and alienation, a tendency toward relativism leads to lack of universality and nihilism. Education, Science and Truth suggests a way out by bridging not only divides between and within analytical and continental philosophy but also those of modernism and postmodernism. By using a range of issues, disciplines and literature, Nejadmehr formulates a new version of the concept of objectivity based on the inclusion of multiple perspectives, including ones from art, philosophy and marginalized groups.

Education, Epistemology and Critical Realism

2ND EDITION

Philosophy of Education: The Key Concepts

David Scott, University of London, UK

Christopher Winch, Kings College, University of London, UK and John Gingell, University of Northampton, UK

Education, Epistemology and Critical Realism addresses fundamental questions in relation to education and its epistemology. The position taken by David Scott is critical realist; and thus throughout the relationship between education and critical realism is foregrounded. Themes and issues that surface at different times in the book are: a critical realist view of education research; a resolution of the quantitative/qualitative divide; criteria for judging the worth of educational texts and practices; differences between scientific and critical realisms; empirical research methods in education; structure-agency relationships; pragmatist views of educational research; foundations and paradigmatic differences; and educational critique and transformation.

Series: Routledge Key Guides This second edition of Philosophy of Education: The Key Concepts is an easy to use A-Z guide summarizing all the key terms, ideas and issues central to the study of educational theory today. Fully updated, the book is cross-referenced throughout and contains pointers to further reading, as well as new entries on such topics as: Citizenship and Civic Education, Liberalism, Capability, Well-being, Patriotism, Globalisation, Open-mindedness, Creationism and Intelligent Design.

Series: Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education Terrorism, ethnocentrism, religious tension, competition over limited resources, war – these are just a few of the problems and challenges that have emerged in today’s global economy. Globalization both implies and requires economic interdependence; and this should bring with it a heightened sense of the interconnectedness of the participating societies. But unfortunately, as recent events indicate, rather than our having formed a global community, today’s society is more fragmented than ever. In light of this, education faces some formidable new challenges. How do we prepare future citizens for the world they will live in? How do we teach future generations to embrace the paradox of accepting the value of multiculturalism despite the conflicts it has produced? How do we instill religious tolerance in a time when fundamentalism has become inextricably tied with terrorism? How do we promote economic growth in the face of overpopulation and its depletion of resources? The authors of this collection of essays explore these and related challenges, and they suggest some novel ways of dealing with them.

Edited by Mark Murphy, University of Chester, UK and Ted Fleming, National University of Ireland Series: Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education The sociologist and philosopher Jürgen Habermas has had a wide-ranging and significant impact on understandings of social change and social conflict. However, there has been no concerted and focused attempt to introduce his ideas to the field of education broadly. This book rectifies this omission and delivers a definitive contribution to the understanding of Habermas’ oeuvre as it applies to the field. The authors examine the contribution Habermas’ theory has and can make to: pedagogy, learning and classroom interaction; the relation between education, civil society and the state; forms of democracy, reason and critical thinking; and performativity, audit cultures and accountability. Additionally, the book answers a range of more specific questions, including: what are the implications for pedagogy of a shift from a philosophy of consciousness to a philosophy of language?; What contribution can Habermas’ re-shaping of speech act theory and communicative rationality make to theories of classroom interaction?; and how can his theories of reason and colonization be used to explore questions of governance and accountability in education?
