Metaphysics from a Biological Point of View
Edited by Michael Marder, University of the Basque

Country (UPV-EHU), Spain, Santiago Zabala, ICREA/
University of Barcelona, Spain
Stephen Boulter, Oxford Brookes University, UK

Many philosophers in the analytic tradition are
now convinced that metaphysical questions are
worth pursuing, but we still lack a convincing metametaphysics and methodology. This essay offers an
account of how we should conduct our business qua

In Search of Gods Power in Broken Bodies

A Theology of Maum
Hwa-Young Chong, Garrett-Evangelical Theological
Seminary, USA
'This profound book advances Eucharist and Asian
feminist theology, and serves as a new horizon of
hope for those who have suffered. Chong poignantly
portrays the broken maum of women as a map of the
worlds stories and histories. According to Chong,
Christs broken maum presents heals the shattered
bodies of women through the Holy Communion.' Andrew Sung Park, author of The Wounded Heart of
God
Interweaving feminist theological ideas, Asian
spirituality, and the witnesses of World War II sex
slaves, this book offers a new theology of body.
It examines the multi-layered meaning of the broken body of Christ from
Christological, sacramental, and ecclesiological perspectives, while exploring the
centrality of body in theological discourse.

The Anthropology of Religious Charisma
Chronic Illness, Spirituality, and Healing
Ecstasies and Institutions
Diverse Disciplinary, Religious, and Cultural Perspectives
Edited by Charles Lindholm, Boston University, USA

'We owe Charles Lindholm a great debt for extending charismas empirical
reach and conceptual subtlety. This brilliant collection of anthropological
essays explores the tensions between charismatic persons and social
institutions in diverse settings from Paraguay to Taiwan. Timely, lucid and
engaging, it is an anthropological gem.' - Bryan S. Turner, The Graduate
Center, City University of New York, USA
Edited by Michael J. Stoltzfus, Valdosta State

University, USA, Rebecca Green, Valdosta State
University, USA, Darla Schumm, Hollins University,
USA
Fusing the disciplines of health care, spiritual care, and
social services, this book examines the relationship
between chronic illness and spirituality. Contributors
include professionals working in traditional, holistic and
integrative clinical settings, as well as religious studies
scholars and spiritual practitioners.
According to Max Weber, charisma is opposed to bureaucratic order. This

collection reveals the limits of that formula. The contributors show how charisma
is a part of cultural frameworks while retaining its ecstatic character among
American and Italian Catholics, Syrian Sufis, Taiwanese Buddhists, Hassidic Jews,
and Amazonian shamans, among others.

How are time-honored tenets of faith, different ritual

sensibilities, and newly emerging eschatological
imaginaries articulated with other normative registers
and moral susceptibilities in disputes? This book
examines such questions through cases in Europe, the
United States, Israel, Africa, and South and Southeast
Asia.
Mathijs Pelkmans, London School of Economics, UK

Religious and secular convictions have powerful
effects, but their foundations are often surprisingly
fragile. New converts often come across as stringent
believers precisely because they need to dispel their
own lingering doubts, while revolutionary movements
survive only through the denial of ambiguity.

APPLIED ETHICS
The Anthropology of Protestantism
APPLIED ETHICS
Faith and Crisis among Scottish Fishermen

Joseph Webster, Downing College, University of
Cambridge, UK
'This is quite simply the most compelling, rounded
account of the lives of fundamentalist Christians
that we have in the anthropological literature. All
that is important to the Christians of this Scottish
fishing village is here the prayers, the sermons, the
sense of human degradation and potential salvation,
the immanence of the divine, the imminence of the
end times, and the drive to proselytize everywhere,
even in the midst of hard and dangerous work at
sea. And of course the importance of divine word is
here too, in a profound account of the sincere bible
reading and speaking that ties these lives together.
Concluding with a stunning reconceptualization
of modern enchantment as consubstantiation, this elegantly written and
powerfully argued book should be read by anyone who wants to know how
such demanding forms of Christianity are lived in the contemporary world.' Joel Robbins, University of California, San Diego, USA
Through his ethnographic study of the fishermen and their religious beliefs,
Webster speaks to larger debates about religious radicalism, materiality,
economy, language, and the symbolic. These debates also call into question
assumptions about the decline of religion in modern industrial societies.

APPLIED ETHICS
Virtues in Action
Assisted Suicide: The Liberal,

Humanist Case Against Legalization
New Essays in Applied Virtue Ethics

Edited by Michael W. Austin, Eastern Kentucky
University, USA
Kevin Yuill, University of Sunderland, UK

This book presents an atheistic case against the
legalization of assisted suicide. Critical of both sides
of the argument, it questions the assumptions behind
the discussion. Yuill shows that our attitudes towards
suicide not euthanasia are most important to our
attitudes towards assisted suicide.
The contributors to this volume examine issues in

applied ethics from the perspective of character and
virtue in order to bring a fresh and illuminating analysis
to many contemporary moral problems.

freedom, justice, representation and identity as these
arise in various historical moments both inside and

'The Footprints of Michael the Archangel is [A/a]n
extensive, deeply detailed tour through the textual
and material evidence for the development of
the cult of St. Michael, from early Jewish sources
to the practices of the Carolingian period. Arnold
traces how Michael, that strange angel, came to be
venerated as one of medieval Christianitys most
popular saints.' - Ellen Muehlberger, University of

Early Christians sought miracles from Michael the
Archangel and this enigmatic ecumenical figure was the
subject of hagiography, liturgical texts, and relics across
Western Europe. Entering contemporary debates about
angelology, this fascinating study explores the formation and diffusion of the cult
of Saint Michael from c. 300-c.800.

Theosis, Sino-Christian Theology and

the Second Chinese Enlightenment
Heaven and Humanity in Unity
Alexander Chow, University of Birmingham, UK
Can Christianity be accepted as the fourth wisdom
tradition of China, alongside the three teachings
of Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism, in their
mixed, shared, and pre-conditioned engagement?
Is there a contextual theology which embraces
at its core the Chinese principle of Heaven and
Humanity in Unity (Tian ren heyi)? Is there a way to
interpret theological recourses in a non-Christian
context? At once spirited and intellectual, and
simultaneously critical and historical, this book
offers an encouraging voyage into a great space that
has been left unexplored for too long. - Yang Huilin,
Renmin University of China
For a millennium and a half in China, Christianity has been perceived as a foreign
religion for a foreign people. This volume investigates various historical attempts
to articulate a Chinese Christianity, comparing the roles that Western and
Latin forms of Christian theology have played with the potential role of Eastern
Orthodox theology.

Ulster Presbyterians and the

Scots Irish Diaspora, 1750-1764
Benjamin Bankhurst, Queen Mary, University of London, UK
Bankhurst examines how news regarding the violent struggle to control the
borderlands of British North America between 1740 and 1760 resonated among
communities in Ireland with familial links to the colonies. This work considers how
intense Irish press coverage and American fundraising drives in Ireland produced
empathy among Ulster Presbyterians.

In this innovative treatment of the ethics of war,
Ryan P. Cumming brings classical sources of just
war theory into conversation with African American
voices. The result is a new direction in just war thought
that challenges dominant interpretations of just war
theory by looking to the perspectives of those on the
underside of history and politics.

Eastern Orthodox Encounters

of Identity and Otherness
Samuel J. Kuruvilla, University of Exeter, UK

Christianity arose from the lands of biblical Palestine and, regardless of its
twentieth century association with the Arab-Israeli conflict, to Christians
around the world, it remains first and foremost the birthplace of Christianity.
Nevertheless, the size of the Christian population among Palestinians today living
in Israel and the Palestinian territories is now relatively insignificant. Samuel J.
Kuruvilla argues that Christian Palestinians often employ politically astute as well
as theologically radical means in their efforts to appear relevant as a minority
community within Israeli and Palestinian societies.

Contemporary Issues of

Stories of Belief in the Twentieth Century

David Nash, Oxford Brookes University, UK
There is no question, to my mind, but that David
Nash opens up a number of fascinating lines of
inquiry into the metaphysical and moral reasoning
which runs through much modern British culture
and history. - Revd Dr Jeremy Morris, Kings College,
Cambridge, UK
This book offers a challenge to conventional histories
of secularisation by focusing upon the importance
of central religious narratives. These narratives are
changed significantly over time, but also to have been
invested with importance and meaning by religious
individuals and organisations as well as by secular ones.
Edited by Elaine Padilla, New York Theological

Seminary, USA, Peter C. Phan, Georgetown University,
USA
With a diverse list of contributors, this volume seeks to
discuss in depth some of the key issues that migration
poses to World Christianity in the fields of constructive
theology, ethics, spirituality, mission, ministry,
inculturation, interreligious dialogue, and theological
education.

What Has the Black Church

to do with Public Life?
R.N. Swanson, University of Birmingham, UK
Anthony B. Pinn, Rice University,
The Reformation, which began under Henry VIII,

transformed English religion. For many the spirituality
of the preceding period remains largely unknown,
or overburdened with Protestant mythology of
decadence. These sources seek to explore the nature
of religious belief and practice in pre-Reformation
England, using original source material.
Anthony B. Pinn argues against the common

assumption that religious organizations, like black
churches, should be involved in the public arena.

Transformative Pastoral
Leadership in the Black Church
BLACK RELIGION/WOMANIST
THOUGHT/SOCIAL JUSTICE
Jeffery L. Tribble Sr., Columbia Theological Seminary,

USA
'Dr. Jeffery Tribbles challenge to be intentionally
transformative in our pastoral leadership has
great value for the fulfillment of the mission of
the church. The greater value, however, is the
demonstration models of successful transformative
pastoral leadership in significantly different social
context. There is much to be learned from this very
meaningful work.' - Bishop Nathaniel Jarrett, Jr.,
African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
Toward a Womanist Ethic of Incarnation

Black Bodies, the Black Church, and the Council of Chalcedon
Eboni Marshall Turman, Duke University Divinity
School, USA
'Groundbreaking. Challenging. Provocative.
Constructive. Marshall Turman holds traditions
and liberative frameworks in fine methodological
tension. With the simple question How does Black
womens oppression persistent under the guise of
liberation in Black churches? Marshall Turman has
produced a compelling womanist incarnational ethic
that stares down fragmentation and offers us the
keys to a deeply enfleshed wholeness.' - Emilie M.
Townes, Vanderbilt University Divinity School, USA
The Black Church is an institution that emerged in
rebellion against injustice perpetrated upon black
bodies. How is it, then, that black womens oppression persists in black churches?
This book engages the Chalcedonian Definition as the starting point for exploring
the body as a moral dilemma.

Gods Only Daughter

Bergson and the Metaphysics of Media
Spencers Una as the Invisible Church

Kathryn Walls, Victoria University of Wellington, New
Zealand
Stephen Crocker, Memorial University of

Newfoundland
In this study Kathryn Walls challenges the standard

identification of Una with the post-Reformation
English Church, arguing that she is, rather, Augustines
City of God the invisible Church, whose membership
is known only to God.
What is a medium? Why is there always a middle? Can

media produce immediacy? Henri Bergson recognized
mediation as the central philosophical problem of
modernity. This book traces his influence on the media
philosophies of Gilles Deleuze, Marshall McLuhan,
Walter Benjamin and Michel Serres.

EASTERN RELIGIONS
Nietzsche, Truth and Transformation
EASTERN RELIGIONS
Katrina Mitcheson, University of the West of England,

UK
Providing a novel interpretation of Nietzsches
philosophical method, Nietzsche, Truth and
Transformation addresses the philosophical problem
of on what basis, if knowledge is always from a
perspective, one can criticise modern humanity
and culture, and how such critique can be actively
responded to.

China is growing in importance to the economies and

men with very different ideas. How China copes with
the pressures for good governance with the Asian
economic model, treats its ethnic minorities under

EPISTEMOLOGY
Humes Radical Scepticism and the
Fate of Naturalized Epistemology
New Essays on Belief

Constitution, Content and Structure
Edited by Nikolaj Nottelmann, University of Southern
Denmark, Odense, Denmark
'By bringing together both established authors and
a new generation of young thinkers, New Essays on
Belief offers readers the chance to gain uniquely
nuanced picture of state-of-the-art thinking in this
exciting area of philosophical research.' - Tamar
Szabo Gendler, Yale University, USA
Kevin Meeker, University of South Alabama, USA

'Kevin Meeker is the secret hero of recent Hume
scholarship; he patiently and with careful and clear
arguments returned it from the darkness which
had engulfed it. Meekers book will let more in on
the secret: it forces us all to confront the radical
skepticism at the heart of Humes philosophy. In
addition he uses Humes philosophy to illuminate
later philosophers (especially Quine) and helps
us think more wisely with Hume about on-going
debates in contemporary philosophy (especially
epistemology and philosophy of religion).' - Eric
Schliesser, Ghent University
Treating David Hume as a partner in a continuing
philosophical dialogue, this book tries to come to terms with Humes influential
thoughts on scepticism and naturalism in a way that sheds light on contemporary
philosophy and its relationship to science.
Belief is a fundamental concept within many branches

of contemporary philosophy and an important subject
in its own right. This volume comprises 11 original
essays on belief written by a range of the best authors
in the field.

The Politics of Animal Experimentation

The Politics of Animal Experimentation analyses change

Killing Happy Animals:

Explorations in Utilitarian Ethics
Tatjana Viak, Monash University, Australia
'In Killing Happy Animals, Tatjana Visak probes a
question that is crucial to the ethical evaluation of
eating meat: whether bringing animals into existence
benefits them, and can compensate for killing other
animals. Those who believe it justifiable to kill one
happy animal if it will be replaced by another will
be challenged by Visaks clearly argued case against
this view. This book makes a major contribution
to a philosophical debate with important practical
implications.' - Peter Singer, Princeton University

The Ethics of Risk
Identity, Political Freedom,

and Collective Responsibility
Ethical Analysis in an Uncertain World

Sven Ove Hansson, Royal Institute of Technology,
Sweden
Eddy M. Souffrant, University of North Carolina at

Charlotte, USA
When is it morally acceptable to expose others

to risk? Most moral philosophers have had very
little to say in answer to that question, but here is
a moral philosopher who puts it at the centre of his
investigations.
Eddy M. Souffrant calls for a reassessment of the

starting points of moral, social, and political philosophy
that takes into account the actual living circumstances
of persons living the twenty-first century.

Spirituality in Dark Places
Future of Minority Studies
The Ethics of Solitary Confinement

Derek S. Jeffreys, The University of Wisconsin, Green
Bay, USA
A powerful and thought-provoking meditation
on the crushing effect of solitary confinement on
human spirituality and creativity. Derek Jeffreys has
written a brave and persuasive book that calls us to
empathize and sympathize with those confined in
these conditions, and in so doing to bring the mass
isolation of prisoners to an end. This is an important
and timely contribution to the current debate on
the future of American penal policy and practice.
- Sharon Shalev, University of Oxford, UK, and
author of Supermax: Controlling Risk Through Solitary
Confinement
Jeffreys explores the spiritual consequences and ethics of modern solitary
confinement and emphasizes how solitary confinement damages our spiritual
lives. He focuses particularly on how it destroys ones relationship to time and
undermines our creativity, and proposes institutional changes in order to mitigate
profound damage to prisoners.

FEMINIST PHILOSOPHY
GENDER IN RELIGION
Kantianism, Liberalism, and Feminism
GENDER IN RELIGION
Resisting Oppression
Carol Hay, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA
'In the most sustained analysis of a duty to
resist oppression to date, Hay defends a Kantian
account of a duty of self-respect on the part of the
oppressed to resist their own oppression. Intriguing
and challenging cases motivate the deep issues
presented, followed by detailed analyses and fair
and open-minded presentation of all sides of the
debates. This clear and engaging book is a mustread by anyone interested in oppression, moral
psychology, and feminism.' - Anita Superson,
University of Kentucky, USA
Beyond Feminism and Islamism

Gender and Equality in North Africa
Doris H. Gray, Florida State University, USA
Are women in North Africa and the Middle East
feminist? Or is being a Muslim incompatible with
feminism? Is there such a thing as "Islamic feminism?"
Through interviews with Moroccan activists and
jurists both male and female and by situating these
interviews within their socio-political and economic
contexts, Doris Gray addresses these questions. By
doing so, she attempts to move beyond the simple
bifurcation of feminist and Islamist to look at the
many facets of internal gender discourse within
one Muslim country, allowing for a more nuanced
understanding of the discussion on womens rights in
the Muslim world in general.
In this book, Hay argues that the moral and political

frameworks of Kantianism and liberalism are
indispensable for addressing the concerns of contemporary feminism. After
defending the use of these frameworks for feminist purposes, Hay uses them to
argue that people who are oppressed have an obligation to themselves to resist
their own oppression.

GENDER IN RELIGION
Male Homosexualities and World Religions
Pierre Hurteau, retired teacher and civil servant,
Canada
'Looking at Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism,
Christianity, Islam as well as Afro-Caribbean and
Afro-Brazilian religions, Hurteau represents the
varied voices that have had something to say about
homosexual male relations in a fair and objective
manner. Hurteau describes quite thoroughly what
religious thinkers have expressed about marriage,
gender relations, procreation, homoerotic fantasies,
and special friendships. Throughout readers will
hear Hurteaus own voice which is always inquisitive,
appreciative, fair, and in several important ways
also critical. This is an unusually knowledgeable and
balanced book. It is as well an exceptionally wise and
humane work.' - Frank Bird, University of Waterloo, UK
The interest of this book lies at the very center of a recent deployment of
homosexual liberation on a larger scale. The reader will be able to understand how
each of the traditions studied articulates its own regulatory mechanisms of male
sexuality in general, and homosexuality.

Muslim Women and Islamic Resurgence

Religion, Education and Identity Politics in Bahrain
Sophia Pandya, California State University, USA
Bahrains tumultuous political landscape often
overshadows the societal upheavals that this tiny
country is facing. Sophia Pandya cuts through this to
examine how international Islamic revivalism coupled
with increased secular education has impacted Muslim
womens religious practice and public position. She
unsettles assumptions that education is a secularizing
force for Muslim women, showing that modern
education among Bahraini women has in fact deepened
both their engagement with Islam and their political
participation.

GENERAL PHILOSOPHY AND PHILOSOPHERS

GENERAL PHILOSOPHY AND PHILOSOPHERS
On Philosophy as a Spiritual Exercise
Encounters between Analytic

and Continental Philosophy
Andreas Vrahimis, London Consortium, Birkbeck,
University of London, UK
A Symposium
This book examines the encounters between leading

analytic and continental philosophers: Frege and
Husserl, Carnap and Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty,
Bataille and Ayer, the Royaumont colloquium, and
Derrida with Searle.
Edited by Philip Goodchild, University of Nottingham,

UK
What if self-questioning could provoke an extreme
attentiveness to a rich inner life? In pursuit of this
question, a mixed group of highly fallible thinkers
gather together in the north of England. Will they be
able to respond to the actual events of their lives, and
reinvent philosophy as a collective spiritual exercise?

Humanities in the Twenty-First Century

Beyond Utility and Markets
Edited by Eleonora Belfiore, University of Warwick, UK,
Anna Upchurch, University of Leeds, UK
'The book is beautifully written and edited, allowing
the reader to relax and enjoy the experience of
following an intense, academic debate, whilst its
hard, critical edge skewers economic triumphalism
on its own inconsistencies. This makes Humanities in
the 21st Century both a compelling call to humanities
scholars to reclaim the public value debate, as well
as setting a demanding standard for others wanting
to participate in that debate.' - Paul Benneworth, LSE

Wittgensteins Philosophical Development

Phenomenology, Grammar, Method,
and the Anthropological View
Mauro Luiz Engelmann, Federal University of Minas
Gerais, Brazil
The book explains why and how Wittgenstein adapted
the Tractatus in phenomenological and grammatical
terms to meet challenges of his middle period. It
also shows why and how he invents a new method
and develops an anthropological perspective, which
gradually frame his philosophy and give birth to the
Philosophical Investigations.

Wittgenstein and Plato

Connections, Comparisons and Contrasts
Edited by Luigi Perissinotto, Ca Foscari University, Italy,
Begoa Ramn Cmara, University of Valencia, Spain

Wittgenstein was a faithful and passionate reader

of Platos Dialogues as confirmed by writings and
witnesses. Here well-known scholars of Wittgenstein
and Plato illuminate the relationship between the two
philosophers both philologically and philosophically,
and provide new interpretation keys of two of the
leading figures of Western thought.

HISTORY OF ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY
Logic as Universal Science

Russells Early Logicism and its Philosophical Context
Susan Stebbing and the

Language of Common Sense
Anssi Korhonen, University of Helsinki, Finland

Logic as Universal Science offers a detailed
reconstruction of the underlying philosophy in The
Principles of Mathematics showing how Russell sought
to deliver a death blow to the dominant Kantian view
that formal logic is a concise and dry science and unable
to enlarge our understanding.
Siobhan Chapman, University of Liverpool, UK

This first book-length study of the work and life of L.
Susan Stebbing relates the development of her thought
to the philosophical, social and political background of
her life. It also assesses Stebbings contribution in the
light of developments both in analytic philosophy and
in linguistics in the decade since her death.

Judgement and Truth in Early Analytic

Philosophy and Phenomenology
Edited by Mark Textor, Kings College London, UK
What is judgement? is a question that has exercised
generations of philosophers. Early analytic
philosophers (Frege, Russell and Wittgenstein) and
phenomenologists (Brentano, Husserl and Reinach)
changed how philosophers think about this question.
This book explores and assesses their contributions and
help us to retrace their steps.
Jolen Galaugher, University of Iowa, USA

This systematic and historical treatment of Russells
contributions to analytic philosophy, from his
embrace of analysis in 1898 to his landmark theory
of descriptions in 1905, draws important connections
between his philosophically motivated conception
of analysis and the technical apparatus he devised to
facilitate analyses in mathematics.

Islamophobia in America
The Anatomy of Intolerance
Edited by Carl W. Ernst, University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, USA
Fear of Islam is both quite old and quite new. In our
own time and in the USA, the fear of militant Islam
began to take on explicit and particular shapes in
1979, during the Iranian Revolution with the taking
of American hostages, which brought nightly
coverage of Islam holding American officials hostage
in Tehran on the ABC News program Nightline.
With the expansion of cable news networks and
the Internet, Islam has been represented as hostile
to Americans on a constantly increasing basis ever
since. The events of 9/11 simply compounded this.
Situating American Islamophobia in its historical
context, this important volume contributes to
our understanding of a problem so rampant today it is prevalent even in the
discourse of candidates seeking public office.Richard C. Martin, Emory
University, USA and Review of Middle East Studies
Islamophobia in America offers new perspectives on prejudice against Muslims,
which has become increasingly widespread in the USA in the past decade. The
contributors document the history of anti-Islamic sentiment in American culture,
the scope of organized anti-Muslim propaganda, and the institutionalization of
this kind of intolerance.

The continued prominence of Islam in the struggle for democracy in the Muslim
world has confounded Western democracy theorists who largely consider
secularism a prerequisite for democratic transitions. Kamran Bokhari and Farid
Senzai offer a comprehensive view of the complex nature of contemporary
political Islam and its relationship to democracy.
Ron Buckley explores how the Islamic understanding

of the night journey and ascension has evolved and
the implications of the ways in which it has evolved.
He addresses issues such as why Muslims believe or
disbelieve in the isra and the miraj and in what terms
they conceive of the journey: is it to be taken literally?
Was it a vision, a dream or a mystical experience?
Or is it some kind of figurative representation? The
conclusions in The Night Journey and Ascension in
Islam touch on fundamental issues within Islam,
including attitudes to the miraculous, the nature
of Muhammads prophethood, the authenticity of
prophetic tradition (hadith) and the age-old debate
between faith and rationality.

Allen Fromherz, drawing on medieval Arabic and Berber

sources, analyses the myth and history surrounding
the rise of the Almohad Empire. He shows how
Muhammad Ibn Tumart, the son of a minor Berber
tribal chief, set off on his mission to reform Islam, then
at a low point in its history, battered by the crusades,
having lost Jerusalem and been undermined by weak
spiritual and political leadership. Muhammad Ibn
Tumart was proclaimed Mahdi one who would
herald the golden age of Islam provided charismatic
leadership, unwavering adherence to a fundamentalist
monotheistic Islam enforced by holy war, established
tribal unity, effective administration and a formidable
military force. Here were the sinews of the empires power and the base for lasting
political and cultural influence in the Middle East and Europe.
Contents: On Founding Myths Introduction * The Life of Ibn Tumart and the Birth of
Almohad Movement * The Rise of Almohads: The Tribal Roots and Monotheism * The Doctrine

Who was the boy who rose from obscurity to become one of Egypts most
celebrated thinkers and prolific scholars of hadith, and who for 25 years as Shafii
judge occupied the most powerful judicial position in the Empire? R. Kevin Jacques
describes the formative events in Ibn Hajars life, from the early death of his
parents and fostering to his preoccupations as student, teacher, and author; his
marriages; his survival of plague, civil war, and foreign invasion; and his strategies
for surviving and negotiating the fevered politics of the late Mamluk period.

ISLAMIC STUDIES
Rituals in Babism and Bahaism
Fathers and Sons
Denis MacEoin, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland
The Rise and Fall of Political Dynasty in the Middle East
Babism and its offshoot Bahaism first evolved from mainstream Islam in
nineteenth century Iran, in the face of fierce opposition from the Islamic clergy
and most Muslims. Bahaism has continued to expand, spreading out of Iran and
across the globe, yet little is known in the West about the codes prescribed by the
Bab and revised by BahaAllah. This comprehensive account of the religious rituals
and practices of Babism and Bahaism provides detailed descriptions of prayer,
pilgrimage, the use of talisman, ritual purity, birth marriage and death, festivals
and fasting.

This book traces the rise of the political dynasty in the

Middle East and, in the process, provides the context
for the current Arab uprising. The author shows that a
father-to-son transfer of power has no basis in Islam,
and yet the idea of dynastic power became entrenched
in the Middle East.

Tabari
Ulrika Mrtensson, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
Medieval historian al-Tabari (c. 828-923 CE) was a brilliant scholar of Abbasid
Baghdad who wrote extensively in all fields of the Islamic science of his day:
historiography, scriptural interpretation and jurisprudence. His massive History
of the Messengers and Kings is the primary source for the information that we
have about Sasanian Persia and the first three centuries of Islam. As well as being
a historical record of outstanding importance, it is also of the greatest interest
for what is says about the principles of good Islamic governance. In a concise
overview of his life, thought and major writings, Ulrika Mrtensson explores the
philosophy and methodology than underpin Tabaris thinking, and places his work
in the context of the complex - and sometimes administratively heterogeneous society that comprised the Abbasid Caliphate.

Spyros A. Sofos, Lund University, Sweden, Roza
Tsagarousianou, Communication adn Media Reseach
Institute (CAMRI), UK
'In this volume the authors take us beyond analysis
of society and politics. Their focus is the complex
and tense field of the conceptual: in what ways
are Muslims in Europe European Muslims; what
do events and related discourses do to affect the
formation of European Muslim identities? A valuable
pointer to future lines of research.' - Jrgen S.
Nielsen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Lloyd Ridgeon, University of Glasgow, UK

The contemporary world is increasingly regarded as
a global community in which traditional patterns
of social organization, faith and practice are rapidly
being transformed. These changes are evident in many
religious traditions, and Shii Islam is no exception. This
book seeks to investigate the nature of contemporary
Shiism, focusing on the creation of identities - showing
the diversity of thought within the Shii world, the
transnational nature of Shii networks, and the
forces of tradition and modernity influencing current
developments in Shii identity.

LITERATURE AND RELIGION

Shamanism and Islam
Sufism, Healing Rituals and Spirits in the Muslim World

Edited by Thierry Zarcone, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France,
Angela Hobart, Centro Incontri Umani (CIU), Switzerland
Thierry Zarcone and Angela Hobart offer a vigorous and authoritative exploration
of the link between Islam and Shamanism in contemporary Muslim culture,
examining how the old practice of shamanism was combined with elements
of Sufism in order to adapt to wider Islamic society. Shamanism and Islam thus
surveys shamanic practices in Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and the
Balkans, to show how the Muslim shaman, like his Siberian counterpart, cultivated
personal relations with spirits to help individuals through healing and divination.
Alexander Popes Catholic Vision

A fresh look at the greatest poet of early eighteenthcentury England, this highly readable book focuses on
Popes religious thinking and major poems. G. Douglas
Atkins extends the argument that the Roman Catholic
poet was no Deist, closet or otherwise.

'In Sexuality, Sociality, and Cosmology in Medieval
Literary Texts, Brown and Segol bring together an
impressive body of scholarship on Latin, Hebrew,
Spanish, and English/Scots materials in which
sexuality, both chivalric and mystical, is represented
and explored. ' - Steven F. Kruger, Queens College
and the Graduate Center, CUNY
Exploring the relation between sexuality and
cosmology in a variety of literary texts from the tenth
to the sixteenth centuries, the essays reveal that
medieval authors, whether lay or religious, Christian or
Jewish, were grappling with the same sets of questions about sexuality as people
are today.

Francis of Assisi and His Canticle
of Brother Sun Reassessed
A Queering of Black Theology

James Baldwins Blues Poetics and Gospel Prose
Brian Moloney, University of Hull, UK

'Saint Francis Canticle is important as a witness
in the development of Umbrian poetry and as one
of the rare examples of the saints own words.
Moloneys fresh translation and sensitive discussion
of the nuances of the text have much to offer to both
scholarly and devotional audiences.' - Cynthia Ho,
University of North Carolina at Asheville, USA
Bringing the skills of a literary historian to the subject,

Brian Moloney considers the genesis of Saint Francis of
Assisis Canticle of Brother Sun to show how it works as
a carefully composed work of art. The study examines
the saints life and times, the structure of the poem, the
features of its style, and the range of its possible
meanings.
EL Kornegay Jr., Chicago Theological Seminary, USA

Kornegays brilliant and insightful use of James Baldwins literary genius offers a
way forward that promises to overcome the divide between religion and sexuality
that is of crucial importance not only for black church and theology but for sociopolitical-religious and theological discourse generally.

A Study of the Movement of Spiritual

Awareness
Religious Innovation and Cultural Change
Diana Tumminia, California State University Sacramento, USA, James R. Lewis, University of Troms,
Norway
MSIA, the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, has
been called the Cadillac of cults. Those interested in
new religions may only know of MSIA from these kinds
of labels. However, when looked at from a qualitative
sociological perspective, a more complex story of
religious innovation and cultural change can be told.

PHILOSOPHY OF ART, FILM AND LITERATURE

Adorno Reframed
Interpreting Key Thinkers for the Arts
Carnal Knowledge
Geoffrey Boucher, Deakin University, Australia
Towards a New Materialism through the Arts
Adorno Reframed is not only a comprehensive

introduction to the reader coming to Adorno for the
first time, but also an important re-evaluation of this
founder of the Frankfurt School.
Edited by Estelle Barrett, Deakin University, Australia,

Barbara Bolt, University of Melbourne, Australia
Carnal Knowledge draws together established and
emerging writers, whose research spans dance, music,
film, fashion, design, photography, literature, painting
and stereo-immersive VR, to demonstrate how art
allows us to map the complex relations between
nature and culture, between the body, language and
knowledge. These writings are unique in the field
because they represent the authors commitment to a
new materialism through the creative arts.

Lyotard Reframed
Visualizing Feeling
Graham Jones, Monash University, Australia
Affect and the Feminine Avant-garde
Lyotard Reframed employs numerous examples drawn

from painting, cinema, and comic books, to illustrate
the significance of these ideas and to explore their
links with phenomenology, Marxism, structuralism,
psychoanalysis and deconstruction.
Susan Best, University of New South Wales, UK

This book focuses on four highly influential female artists: Eva Hesse, Lygia
Clark, Ana Mendieta and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and it explores how their art
transformed established avant-garde protocols by introducing an affective
dimension. This aspect of their work, while often noted, has never before been
analyzed in detail. Visualizing Feeling also addresses a methodological blind spot
in art history: the interpretation of feeling, emotion and affect.

Bakhtin Reframed
Theodor Adorno and Film Theory
The Fingerprint of Spirit
Deborah J. Haynes, University of Colorado, USA
Brian Wall, Binghamton University, SUNY, USA
Deborah J. Haynes uses Bakhtinian concepts to

interpret a range of art from religious icons to postImpressionist painters and Russian modernists to
demonstrate how the application of his thought to
visual culture can generate significant new insights.
What is the fundamental nature of the filmic object: is

it a commodity or is it, can it be, art? What would that
mean - can it still matter? This book introduces the
thought of Theodor Adorno into film studies to repair
the schism that characterizes the field, as historical
and cultural modes of analysis displace theoretical and
philosophical ones.

Staging the European Century

Adrian Kear, Aberystwyth University, UK
In the beginning of the twenty-first century, European
theatre-makers have sought to consider the disastrous
events of the twentieth century as the unfinished
business of the contemporary. In this book, Kear
argues that by thinking through the logic of the
event, contemporary performance offers an affective
interrogation of the event of the European century.
Cian Duffy, St Marys University College, Twickenham,

UK
The Landscapes of the Sublime 1700-1830 examines the
place of the natural sublime in the cultural history of
the eighteenth century and Romantic period. Drawing
on a range of scholarship and historical sources, it
offers a fresh perspective on the different species of the
natural sublime encountered by British and European
travellers and explorers.

The Ethics of Visuality
Poetics and Place
Levinas and the Contemporary Gaze
The Architecture of Sign, Subjects and Site
Hagi Kenaan, Tel-Aviv University, Israel
Kristen Kreider, University of London, UK
Where other critical approaches have largely

undermined Levinass ambivalence towards the visual,
The Ethics of Visuality uncovers the relevance of his bias
against the visual, and makes place for a philosophy of
the importance of the human face to ethical living the
contemporary world.
How do artworks speak, and how do we listen and

respond? Kristen Kreider explores these questions and
more in her illuminating new book, Poetics and Place.
The book concludes with a discussion of the ethics of
reading , opening up a debate concerning the role of
empathy within contemporary, politically-engaged
practices in art and poetry.

Antiquity and the Meanings of Time

A Philosophy of Ancient and Modern Literature
Duncan Kennedy, Bristol University, UK
What did the ancients think about time? Is our interest
in chronology a relatively recent phenomenon? Or
does it go further back? In his major new work, Duncan
Kennedy indicates that our own fascination with timereckoning is by no means unique. Discussing a number
of key texts (such as Homers Odyssey; Sophocles
Oedipus Rex; Virgils Aeneid; and Ovids Metamophoses)
and imaginatively setting these side-by-side with
modern works (such as Sternes Tristram Shandy and
Joyces Ulysses), he shows that, from era to era, and in
different ways, human beings have uniformly striven
to understand the unfolding of history and their
relationship to it.

Pornographic Art and the
Aesthetics of Pornography
The Riddles of The Hobbit

Adam Roberts, Royal Holloway, University of London,
UK
'Roberts applies great imaginative ingenuity to the
reading of riddles. His book complements existing
work on Tolkien by adopting a free interpretative
approach which is justified, not by some abstract
postmodern theory, but by a bold claim about the
riddling, ironic, polysemous nature of Tolkiens
texts.' - Brian Rosebury, author of Tolkien: a Cultural
Phenomenon
Edited by Hans Maes, University of Kent, UK

What happens when art and pornography meet? By
providing a plurality of disciplinary approaches and
theoretical perspectives this essay collection will give
the reader a fuller and deeper understanding of the
commonalities and frictions between artistic and

Joyces Nietzschean Ethics
Thomas Hardy and Desire
Sam Slote, Trinity College, Ireland

'In his strong, compact and compelling book, Sam
Slote offers more than a book about the ethics of
style in Joyce and Nietzsche, much more than a
study of the influence of Nietzsche - he revisits and
reassesses Joyces major works through Nietzschean
questions, with help from Derrida, Wittgenstein
and Rorty. He proves that Molly Bloom was indeed
an Ueber-woman, and that there is something like
a Gay Science in Finnegans Wake. This superb and
lively book will attract more than Joyce specialists:
it consistently poses essential questions about
the politics of style and the need for new values
combining art and life.' - Jean-Michel Rabat,
University of Pennsylvania, USA
The first book-length treatment of James Joyces work through the lens of
Friedrich Nietzsches thought, Slote argues that the range of styles Joyce deploys
has an ethical dimension. This intersection raises questions of epistemology,
aesthetics, and the construction of the Modern and will appeal to literary and
philosophy scholars.

Conceptions of the Self

Jane Thomas, University of Hull, UK
Jane Thomas has provided us with the most
thoroughgoing study of Hardy and desire since
J. Hillis Millers four decades ago, and offers a
wonderfully panoramic approach to the subject.
Thomas uses Lacan, Butler and other thinkers,
always in an approachable manner, to meditate on
the fleeting, obscure and unstable nature of desire
in Hardys texts, extracting a surprising range of
reference - from the impossibility of nostalgia to the
sharpness of desire across class divisions; from the
pleasures of cross-dressing to Sapphic desire seen
as a kind of utopian space. The study ranges with
assurance across Hardys corpus, and is illuminating
on both the major and minor novels and the poetry.
- Tim Armstrong, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
Drawing on a broad concept of desire, informed by poststructuralist theorists this
book examines the range of Hardys work. It demonstrates the sustained nature
of his thinking about desire, its relationship to the social and symbolic network in
which human subjectivity is constituted and arts potential to offer fulfilment to
the desiring subject.

The Smoke of the Soul

Medicine, Physiology and Religion in Early Modern England
Richard Sugg, Durham University, UK
What was the soul? Christians agreed that it was the
immortal core of each human being. Yet there was no
agreement on where the soul was, what it was, or how
it could be joined to the body. The Smoke of the Soul
explores the anxieties and excitement generated by the
mysterious zone where matter met spirit, and where
human life met eternity.

Curriculum As Meditative Inquiry

Ashwani Kumar, Mount Saint Vincent University,
Kumar asks in this volume: Since characteristic
features of human consciousness - fear, conditioning,
and fragmentation - work against the educational
experience, how can we re-imagine curriculum as a
space for meditative inquiry and allow it to provide
transformative educational experiences to teachers
and their students?

PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE
Meritocratic Education and Social
Worthlessness
PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE
Khen Lampert, Tel Aviv University, Israel
The Invention of Deconstruction
This title critically examines the socio-cultural role

of achievement within education, arguing that the
increasingly global demand for measurable standards
of academic achievement is an expression of political
ideology and the aggressive competitive reality of a
neo-capitalist schooling system, resulting in many
students feeling socially worthless.
Mark Currie, Queen Mary, University of London, UK

Why did deconstruction emerge when it did? Why did
commentators in literary studies seem to need to look
back on it from the earliest moments of its emergence?
This book argues that the invention of deconstruction
was spread across several decades, conducted by many
people, and focused on its two central figures, Jacques
Derrida and Paul de Man.

Frege, Dummett and the Shades of Meaning

Richard Kortum, East Tennessee State University, USA
In clear and lively prose that avoids jargon, the author
carefully and systematically examines the many kinds
of subtly nuanced words or word-pairs of everyday
discourse such as and-but, before-ere, ChineseChink, and sweat-perspiration, that have proven
resistant to truth-conditional explanations of meaning.
Platos Problem
An Introduction to Mathematical Platonism
Marco Panza, IHSPT, Paris, France, Andrea Sereni, San

What is mathematics about? And how can we have
access to the reality it is supposed to describe? Plato's
Problem tells the story of this problem, first raised by
Plato, through the views of Aristotle, Proclus, Kant,
Frege, Gdel, Benacerraf, up to the most recent debate
on mathematical platonism.

PHILOSOPHY OF MIND AND COGNITIVE SCIENCE

Rethinking Introspection
PHILOSOPHY OF MIND
AND COGNITIVE SCIENCE
A Pluralist Approach to the First-Person Perspective

Jesse Butler, University of Central Arkansas, USA
An Introduction to Buddhist
Psychology and Counselling
Offering a pluralist framework for understanding the

nature, scope, and limits of self-knowledge from the
first-person perspective, Rethinking Introspection
argues that, contrary to common misconceptions,
introspection does not operate through inner
perception but rather develops out of a diverse array of
mental states and cognitive processes.

Towards A Pre-Modern Psychiatry

Jenifer Booth, independent scholar, UK
The author applies modified versions of pre-modern
philosophy (including Aristotle and Aquinas) to
psychiatry, arguing that the work of the Aristotelian
philosopher, Christian and former Marxist, Alasdair

transformation of psychiatry from its current captivity
to the modern scientific technical paradigm.

The Self in Question

Memory, The Body and Self-Consciousness
Andy Hamilton, University of Durham, UK
'Andy Hamiltons The Self in Question is a penetrating and refreshingly original
work on the related topics of self-consciousness, memory, self-reference, and
personal identity. It locates previously unrecognised connections between
these topics, and its discussion of conceptual holisms is particularly important.
Hamilton carves out a distinctive and plausible position covering a wide range
of key topics in epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of language,
and he does so in a way that will be useful to readers both inside and outside
the Analytic tradition.' Stephen Braude, University of Maryland, USA
A humanistic account of self-consciousness and personal identity, and
offering a structural parallel between the epistemology of memory and bodily
awareness. It provides a much-needed rapprochement between Analytic and
Phenomenological approaches, developing Wittgensteins insights into I-assubject and self-identification.

Human Agency and Neural Causes
Philosophical Psychopathology
Philosophy of Action and the Neuroscience of Voluntary Agency
Philosophy without Thought Experiments
Jason D. Runyan, Indiana Wesleyan University, USA

Human Agency and Neural Causes provides an analysis
of our everyday thought about our conduct, and
the neuroscience research concerning voluntary
agency. J.D. Runyan argues that our findings through
neuroscience are consistent with what would be
expected if we are, in fact, voluntary agents.
Garry Young, Nottingham Trent University, UK

Young uses rare pathologies to inform questions on
topics such as consciousness and rationality. Rather
than trying to answer these by inventing far-fetched
scenario or thought experiments, it is better to utilize
a rich but under-used clinical resource.

'This is a wake-up call to change and reimagine our
theology, our views of the environment and one
another, and our very life styles as greedy consumers
of a capitalist society if we are to avoid a catastrophe
we are about to bring on ourselves by greed,
domination, and exploitation. Kim, one of the most
prolific and insightful members of a new generation
of Asian American theologians, has issued a plea
to all in this lucid, moving synthesis of political
economy, theology, and spirituality.' - Anselm K.
Min, Claremont Graduate University, USA
Globalism, colonialism, and consumerism have caused
unjust suffering (han), for the earths exploited peoples

Pragmatic Encroachment,
Religious Belief and Practice
PALGRAVE FRONTIERS IN
Aaron Rizzieri, CUNY LaGuardia, USA
Faith, Philosophy and the Reflective Muslim
Engaging several recent and important discussions in

the mainstream epistemological literature surrounding
pragmatic encroachment, the volume asks, amongst
others, the question: Do the high stakes involved in
accepting or rejecting belief in God raise the standards
for knowledge that God exists?
Zain Ali, University of Auckland, New Zealand

Most modern literature on the rationality of religious
belief is primarily written from Christian and
Secular perspectives, the introduction of a reflective
Muslim perspective provides a fresh and alternative
perspective. This work aims to pioneer an engagement
with contemporary philosophical scholarship from the
perspective of a reflective Muslim.

Ecologies of Thought
This manifesto addresses current crises brought on

by global capitalism and offers a new orientation for
self-understanding and acting in new approaches to
religion, culture, and being in the world.

Utilizing Franois Laruelles non-philosophical

philosophical theology and ecology by challenging
environmental philosophy and theology, claiming that

change the standard metaphysics of nature, as well as
ethical problems related to the natural.

The Right to Wear Religious Symbols

Daniel J. Hill, Daniel Whistler, both at University of
Liverpool, UK
Clearly presenting the case-law concerning Article 9
of the European Convention of Human Rights, this
is a lively and accessible analysis of a key issue in
contemporary society: whether there is a human right
to wear a religious symbol and how far any such right
extends.
Foucault/Paul
Subjects of Power
Sophie Fuggle, Nottingham Trent University, UK
Perhaps it will be a focus on power, in the end, which
will burn through clichd distinctions between the
secular and the religious, even as it also opens new
modes of enacting political solidarity. Sophie Fuggle
leads the way to a new critical theory in keeping with
a new politics, and she does so by rewiring the figure
of Paul for a brilliant comparative reflection on
Foucaults technologies of the self. Short-circuiting
our usual assumptions about the difference between
the ancient and contemporary figures in question,
neither Paul nor Foucault nor their interpreters
will be able to remain the same. - Ward Blanton,
University of Kent, UK
The way which society conceives of power in the twenty-first century determines
how it approaches future issues. Placing the twentieth-century French
philosopher Michel Foucault into critical conjunction with the apostle Paul, Fuggle
re-evaluates the way in which power operates within society and underpins
ethical and political actions.

The Ends of Philosophy of Religion
An Anthology of Philosophy in Persia, Vol IV
Terminus and Telos
From the School of Illumination to Philosophical Mysticism
Timothy David Knepper, Drake University, USA

'Timothy Knepper calls on philosophers of religion
to engage not only the rationality of theism, but
reason-giving in all the religions of the world. This
is an important and future-looking proposal, and
this book should come to serve as a reference point
for future developments in philosophy of religion,
both by the philosophers of religion themselves
and by those outside the discipline who can look to
such global philosophers as new allies. The Ends of
Philosophy of Religion casts a critical eye over both
analytic and continental philosophy of religion and
finds an ailment that besets them both. Knepper
provides an analysis that is not only clear and
eloquent but also sometimes frustrated and angry
one. This gives his book the feeling of a manifesto, something I judge that the
discipline needs.' - Kevin Schilbrack, Western Carolina University, USA
Seyyed Hossein Nasr, George Washington University, USA, Mehdi Aminrazavi,

University of Mary Washington, USA
Knepper criticizes existing efforts in the philosophy of religion for being out of step
with, and therefore useless to, the academic study of religion, then forwards a new
program for philosophy of religion that is in step with, and therefore useful to, the
academic study of religion.

The fourth volume of An Anthology of Philosophy in Persia deals with one of the
richest and yet least known periods of philosophical life in Persia, the centuries
between the seventh-thirteenth century, that saw the eclipse of the school of
Khorosan, and the tenth-sixteenth century that coincided with the rise of the
Safavids. The main schools dealt with in this volume are the Peripatetic (mashshai)
School, the School of Illumination (ishraq) of Suhrawardi, and various forms of
philosophical Sufism, especially the school of Ibn Arabi, that had its origins in the
works of Ghazzali and Ayn al-Qudat Hamadani. This period was also notable for the
philosopher-scientists such as Nasir al-Din Tusi and Qutb al-Din Shirazi.

The Best Argument against God

Graham Oppy, Monash University, Australia
The Best Argument against God compares two theories
Naturalism and Theismon a wide range of relevant
data. It concludes that Naturalism should be preferred
to Theism on that data. The central idea behind the
argument is that, while Naturalism is simpler than
Theism, there is no relevant data that Naturalism fails to
explain at least as well as Theism does.

PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Education in the Age of Biocapitalism
The Nature of Classification
Optimizing Educational Life for a Flat World
Relationships and Kinds in the Natural Sciences
Clayton Pierce, University of Utah, USA

This ambitious project provides a sturdy bridge
between educational theory and the rich literatures
of biopolitics. It resituates Marxian forms of
analyses into a biopolitical critique in order to
illuminate how neoliberal pressures on schooling
are treating student bodies as resources to be mined
in order to satisfy goals of national security and
capitalist expansion. Yet it also identifies practices
of resistance and alternative forms of education
that can emerge even in such contexts. Pierce has
provided a valuable contribution to contemporary
efforts to steer a steady path toward egalitarian
transformations of US education.- Sandra Harding,
University of California, Los Angeles, USA
Biocapitalism, an economic model built on making new commodities from
existing forms of life, has fundamentally changed how we understand the
boundaries between nature/culture and human/nonhuman. This is the first book
to examine its implications for education and how human capital understandings
of education are co-evolving with biocapitalism.
John S. Wilkins, The University of Melbourne, Australia,

Malte C. Ebach, University of New South Wales,
Australia
Discussing the generally ignored issue of the
classification of natural objects in the philosophy of
science, this book focuses on knowledge and social
relations, and offers a way to understand classification
as a necessary aspect of doing science.

'This fine collection constitutes a major contribution

of identification practices in the modern world. It
broadens the lens in both geographical and temporal
terms. The volume thus extends the range of our
appreciation of these practices and invites further
research on under-studied areas and periods. The
book represents a decisive advance in the frontier of
identification studies.' - John Torpey, The Graduate

Jary, The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK
This book shows that a dialectical conceptual model
underpins Georg Simmels writings. The book provides
key examples of social forms including fashion, the
secret and money as exemplifications of this method.

Political Religion Beyond Totalitarianism
The Sacralization of Politics in the Age of Democracy
Edited by Joost Augusteijn, Patrick G. C. Dassen,
Maartje J. Janse, all at Leiden University, the
Netherlands
Pilgrimage, Politics, and

International Relations
Religious Semantics for World Politics
Mariano Barbato, Babes-Bolyai University, Romania
'In this fascinating and imaginative book, Mariano
Barbato transgresses outdated boundaries
between the theological and the political to present
pilgrimage as a source of imagination for world
politics. In an age of mobility, the pilgrim offers a
positive model for negotiating both continuity and
change. This book is full of interesting narratives
and rigorous conceptual analysis, and it offers
international relations a new way forward in a
postsecular age.' - William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul
University
The success of fascist and communist regimes has long

been explained by their ability to turn political ideology
into a type of religion. These innovative essays explore
the notion that all forms of modern mass-politics,
including democracies, need a form of sacralization to
function.

Is New Labour more style than substance? Are its policies merely driven by
pragmatism? Little has been published on the partys core ideas, the very
existence of which is contested. Matt Beech traces the ideological roots of the
Labour Party from its nineteenth century origins in the Labour Movement,
through the twentieth century, until the years under Tony Blair.

Comparative Secularisms in a Global Age

European Self-Reflection
Between Politics and Religion
Edited by Linell E. Cady, Arizona State University, USA,

Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, Northwestern University,
USA
This rich collection of essays not only provides
deep insight into processes of secularization in
France, India, Turkey, and the US, it also enables us
to reconceptualize what is meant by the secular
and the religious. It adds important empirical and
theoretical insight to current conversations on this
question and, indeed, reframes the entire debate. Joan W. Scott, Institute for Advanced Study
The Crisis of Europe in the 20th Century

Edited by Lars K. Bruun, University of Copenhagen,

University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Gert Srensen,
University of Copenhagen, Denmark
This collection of essays suggests new ways of looking
at the intertwining of political and religious agonies
in the period 1914-1991. The long European civil war
revealed that Europe, far from being formed by a onetrack progression, has followed several tracks or fault
lines, leading to a number of contrasts in European
self-perception.

War and Delusion
A Critical Examination
Laurie Calhoun, author, USA
This work is timeless and timely. It is timely
because it helps shed light on our understanding of
contemporary wars beyond thejust war paradigm;
it is timeless because the critique is well crafted
and substantive [enough] to endure the test of
time. The author manages to demolish the just war
paradigm brick by brick all the way down to its very
foundation...she exposes its emptiness for all to see
and pushes students of war to seek new and better
understandings of why we go to war and how we
should conduct wars in the 21st century. - Ajume
H. Wingo, Center for Values and Social Policy, and
University of Colorado at Boulder
Calhoun examines the centuries-old paradigm of just war theory to determine
whether modern just war rationalizations constitute sound justifications or
pro-military propaganda. Her work reveals how the practice of modern war
contradicts the most basic values and principles of modern Western democracies.
Contents: Self-Defense and War * The Triumph of Just War Rhetoric * Truth and Consequences

The Nature and Limits of Human Equality

John Charvet, London School of Economics, UK
The belief in equality as the basis of a just society
is fundamental to the dominant western, liberal
viewpoint. Yet, the standard individualist justification
for it is weak and contradictory. This book provides a
radically new communitarian account of the value of
equality and establishes its proper limits.

Edited by Jean-Michel de Waele, Universitie Libre de la
Bruxelles, Belgium, Fabien Escalona, Politiques

Grenoble, France, Mathieu Vieira, Universite Libre de la
Bruxelles, Belgium
'A remarkably useful compendium analyzing,
with a considerable sense of balance, the social
democratic left in twenty-seven member-countries
of the European Union: history, membership,
electoral results, party programmes and, at the
end of each essay, a brave attempt to peer into the
uncertain future of social democracy. A great tool
for comparativists. Thank you!' - Donald Sassoon,
Queen Mary, University of London, UK
The nature of social democracy in the countries of the European Union is more
significant and better understood than is indicated by the available literature. This
thought-provoking handbook aims to redress this disparity by bringing together
Political scientists from across Europe to provide a definitive collection on social
democracy in the EU.

Evolutionary Basic Democracy
An Evolutionary Paradigm
for International Law
A Critical Overture
Jean-Paul Gagnon, University of Queensland, Australia
'If you thought you knew what democracy is, think
again - and again. Evolutionary Basic Democracy
argues powerfully and provocatively for attending to
the multiple roots and sites of democracy including
nonhuman ones. Suddenly democracy looks like
something very big indeed, not just a recent Western
human invention.' - John Dryzek, Australian National
University, Australia
No one in this world truly understands what
democracy means. We operate democracy only
through best guesses. This uncertainty has caused, and
continues to cause, significant political troubles. This
title offers a way forward. It provides a new tool that
will allow us to understand democracy for the entire planet and all of humanity.

Civil Disobedience and the Politics of Identity

When We Should Not Get Along
Common Ground
Jason D. Hill, DePaul University,
Democracy and Collectivity in an Age of Individualism
Civil Disobedience and the Politics of Identity is an

attempt to provide criteria for when it is both morally
necessary and politically expedient to break with civic
harmony social cohesion in the name of a higher social
justice.
Jeremy Gilbert, University of East London, UK

An innovative exploration of the philosophical
relationship between collectivity, individuality, affect
and agency in the neoliberal era. Jeremy Gilbert argues
that individualism is forced upon us by neoliberal
culture, fatally limiting our capacity to escape the
current crisis of democratic politics.

Divided between Carelessness and Care
Modernism and Charisma
A Cultural History
Agnes Horvath, Cambridge University, UK

Looking at the relationship between modernity and
the rise of charismatic leaders, Agnes Horvath uses
threshold situations to trace the conditions out
of which political regimes developed. The focus on
rationalism and structure has led to a systematic
neglect of uncertain liminal moments, which gave new
direction to societies and cultures.
Richard Hillyer, University of South Alabama, USA

The concept of care defines our humanity. Covering
topics as diverse as familial care, medical care, artistic
care, scientific care, and various other permutations
of the term, this book examines the word and concept
of care from a cultural perspective, tracing its use
throughout literature and history.

Poststructuralism and After

Genocide, Risk and Resilience
Structure, Subjectivity and Power

David R. Howarth, University of Essex, UK
'In this intellectually rigorous volume David Howarth
surveys the background to poststructuralism as
a style of theorizing, summarizes the arguments
of successive generations of post-structuralist
scholars, and assesses its significant contributions
to resolving or dissolving some of the most
fundamental theoretical conundrums in the social
sciences. Authoritative, systematic, and nuanced
in its critical engagement, this book is a must read
for all those interested in the philosophy of social
sciences, current issues in social theory, and their
relevance to real world problems.' - Bob Jessop,
Lancaster University, UK
Poststructuralism and After articulates the key theoretical assumptions of
poststructuralism, but also probes its limits, evaluates rival approaches and
elaborates new concepts. Building on the work of Derrida, Foucault, Heidegger,
Lacan, Laclau, LviStrauss, Marx, Saussure and iek, the book also provides a
distinctive version of the poststructuralist project.

An Interdisciplinary Approach
Edited by Bert Ingelaere, University of Antwerp,
Belgium, Stephan Parmentier, KU Leuven, Belgium,
Jacques Haers, KU Leuven, Belgium, Barbara Segaert,
University Centre Saint Ignatius Antwerpen, Belgium
'Prevention of genocide is a most inexact science. It is
also a frustrating exercise because the best efforts at
early warning are negated frequently due to lack of
political will to confront the difficult choices that are
always involved in saving innocent lives. Precisely
because of those difficulties it is especially important
to continue to explore root causes of mass atrocity,
as well as how to redress past wrongs before the
tensions they create escalate into genocide. It is
equally important to study what measures have
worked in the past even if the causal link to the
prevention of genocide is always hard to prove. In particular, social practices
and public policies in the last quarter century that aimed to address legacies of
mass atrocities can offer clues towards appropriate remedies for victims and
perhaps even a path toward genuine reconciliation [...] This volume is bound
to become an indispensable tool in the urgent task to prevent the crime of
crimes. - Juan Mendez, Washington College of Law, USA
This interdisciplinary volume aims to understand the linkages between the origins
and aftermaths of genocide. Exploring social dynamics and human behaviour,
this collection considers the interplay of various psychological, political,
anthropological and historical factors at work in genocidal processes.

Evaluating Culture
Luhmann Observed
Well-Being, Institutions and Circumstance
Radical Theoretical Encounters
Matthew Thomas Johnson, University of Iceland

'Johnsons book is a challenging and highly
controversial defence of cultural evaluation. Its
philosophical range is exceptionally wide, while its
political engagement is informed and sophisticated.
Focusing on the case of Aboriginal Australians,
Johnson shows both the need for cultural evaluation
and the dangers of intervention. This is a book
which will be read with profit by anyone working
on the politics of cultural diversity.' - Sue Mendus,
University of York, UK
From which evaluative base should we develop policies
designed to promote wellbeing among different
cultural groups in varying circumstances? Evaluating
Culture engages with needs and capabilities to advance normative functionalist
assessment of the success with which cultural institutions promote eudaemonic
wellbeing in given, determinate circumstances.

The Philosophy of Life and Death
Women Intellectuals in Post-68 France
Ludwig Klages and the Rise of a Nazi Biopolitics
Petitions and Polemics
Nitzan Lebovic, Lehigh University, USA

Nitzan Lebovics study of Ludwig Klages Life
philosophy is a major contribution to the history
of contemporary German thought and to one of
the essential components of Nazi ideology. - Saul
Friedlander, University of California-Los Angeles,
USA
Some of the first figures the Nazis conscripted in their
rise to power were rhetoricians devoted to popularizing
the German vocabulary of Leben (life). This fascinating
study re-examines this movement through one of its
most prominent exponents, Ludwig Klages, revealing
the philosophical-cultural crises and political volatility
of the Weimar era.

'In this provocative book, Imogen Long rises to a
number of challenges: she situates French post 68
women intellectual writers in the context of the
traditionally male intellectual environment of the
twentieth century; even more importantly, she
foregrounds the divergences which inform their
engagement with key issues and structures of French
and Francophone society of the period...This book
makes a valuable contribution to a reassessment
of post 68 French intellectuals.' - Maggie Allison,
University of Bradford, UK
Accounts of public intellectuals in France and French
feminism have focused on a specific set of women
thinkers overlooking some major women intellectuals. This book aims redresses this
balance by studying these forgotten intellectuals creating a cultural and theoretical
re-evaluation of the gendered phenomenon of the public intellectual in France.

Utopia as Method
The Imaginary Reconstitution of Society
Ruth Levitas, University of Bristol, UK
Levitass Utopia as Method is a crucial and necessary
book. In the face of global ecological and economic
crises, she offers utopianism as a robust and realistic
method that encompasses both a critique of the
existing world and alternatives for a better one that
can be mobilized in the process of transforming,
indeed redeeming, the dark times in which we live. Tom Moylan, University of Limerick, Ireland
Utopia should be understood as a method rather than

a goal. This book rehabilitates utopia as a repressed
dimension of the sociological and in the process
produces the Imaginary Reconstitution of Society, a
provisional, reflexive and dialogic method for exploring
alternative possible futures.

The Politics of Sex Trafficking

A Moral Geography
Erin OBrien, Sharon Hayes, Belinda Carpenter, all at
Queensland University of Technology, Australia
'By critically evaluating the dominant antitrafficking paradigm and prevailing policies based
on it, The Politics of Sex Trafficking shows how
ideological interests and unproven claims about
the intrinsic harms of prostitution have been fused
with sex trafficking and have shaped public policies.
OBrien, Hayes and Carpenter present an alternative
perspectiveone that centers on coercion and
deception in the migration process and labor arena
instead of the practice of sexual commerce itselfas
a superior framework for policy makers interested
in combating genuine cases of abuse. The book is
a major contribution to our understanding of the
debate surrounding human trafficking.' - Ronald Weitzer, George Washington
University, USA
This book offers a unique insight into the moral politics behind human trafficking
policy in Australia and the USA, including rare interviews with key political actors,
and a critical account of Congressional and Parliamentary hearings.

that the slower movement towards parliamentary

significant differences in the nature of communist
power in those states.' - Richard Crampton, St

Claude Lefort
Reading Gandhi in the Twenty-First Century
Thinker of the Political
Niranjan Ramakrishnan, journalist, USA

In this elegant little book, Niranjan Ramakrishnan
shows how Gandhis ideas speak directly to the
problems that beset India and the world today.
Gandhis message, which combines courage with
compassion, is here conveyed with charm and
civility. As Ramakrishnan demonstrates, whether
it be promoting non-violent resistance to unjust
authority, or the compassionate exercise of state
power, or designing technologies on a human scale
and for a human purpose, or cultivating an ethic of
environmental responsibilityin these (and other)
respects we all have much to learn from Gandhi. Ramachandra Guha, author of India after Gandhi
Edited by Martin Plot, California Institute of Arts, USA

'Claude Lefort was one of the most seminal political
theorists to reflect on the enduring meanings
of democracy in the shadow of 20th century
totalitarianism. I highly recommend this fine book,
which brings together a range of important and
insightful commentators to reflect on Leforts
thinking and its continuing legacy.' - Jeffrey C. Isaac,
Indiana University, USA
This is the first English language volume to offer such a
wide-ranging scholarly and intellectual perspective on
Claude Lefort. It constitutes the most comprehensive
attempt to reconstruct Leforts engagement with his
theoretical interlocutors as well as his influence on
todays democratic thought and contemporary continental political philosophy.

Essays on Hegelian Themes

Sean Sayers, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK
'This excellent book manages to convey, with compelling clarity, some of
the most profound and nuanced philosophical themes; it helps restore the
dialecticity of Marxist thought by elaborating its Hegelian origins. It is the
best book I have come across on the Marxist concept of alienation.' - Tony
McKenna, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books
The concepts of alienation and its overcoming are central to Marxs thought.
They underpin his critique of capitalism and his vision of future society. Marxs
ideas are explained in rigorous and clear terms. They are situated in the context of
the Hegelian ideas that inspired them and put into dialogue with contemporary
debates.

Living with Class
Montesquieu and the Discovery of the Social
Philosophical Reflections on Identity and Material Culture
Brian Singer, York University, Canada

Montesquieu is often considered the first social
thinker. Today, when the end of the social has been
proclaimed, it is time to reconsider its beginnings. In a
wide-ranging, original interpretation of The Spirit of the
Laws, this book explores what did it mean to discover
the social, and what can it mean to recover the social
today?
Edited by Ron Scapp, College of Mount Saint Vincent,

USA, Brian Seitz, Babson College, USA
'The essays in this important book show well how
class, complexified, remains crucial to not only
understanding the world, but indeed to changing it.' Bill Martin, DePaul University, USA
A philosophical-cultural exploration, this book expands
the discussion of class from a novel perspective.
Following the current debates about wealth and
class, the contributors address the social and cultural
phenomena of class from a uniquely innovative
philosophical approach and reconsider philosophical
givens within the context of culture.

Sublime Bureaucracy
Ceri Sullivan, Bangor University, UK
How can one make state administrative systems
interesting, embody an abstract public ethos and give
heroism to homogeneity? The discipline of literature
and bureaucracy dismisses Webers neurocrat. Milton,
Trollope and Hare are case studies on implementing
the what if visions literature explored during a period
of great change in public service.

Inventing Peace
Meaning for Modernity
A Dialogue on Perception
Matthew Sterenberg, Waseda University, Japan
Wim Wenders, University of Fine Arts in Hamburg,

Germany, Mary Zournazi, University of New South
Wales, Australia
A variety of thinkers used the concept of myth to

articulate their anxieties about modernity. By telling
the story of mythic thinking in Britain from its origins
in Victorian social anthropology to its postwar
cultural mainstreaming, Sterenberg reveals a yearning
for transcendence in an age long assumed to be
disenchanted.

Independence, Propertylessness, and Basic

Income
A Theory of Freedom as the Power to Say No
Toward a General Unified Theory of Law
Karl Widerquist, Georgetown University-Qatar

This is an important book. It should be read, not only
by those interested in basic income, but by anyone
who cares about the study of social justice and the
most fundamental questions it raises: What does
it mean to be a free person? What demands can we
make of our fellow citizens? Is propertylessness
unjust? - Kieran Oberman, University CollegeDublin, UK
Thomas V. Svogun, Salve Regina University, USA

This unique volume develops a new philosophy of law
and a new theory of law enforcement. The concepts
developed provide the basis for a general unified theory
of law that reconciles what legislators and judges do,
with what police do to resolve important questions in
the field and make public policy recommendations.

economic crisis, which the authors understand
as a crisis of western civilization, and provides a
comprehensive solution based on theological social
justice.

Religion and the Cold War

Edited by Dianne Kirby, University of Ulster, UK
Many of these eye-opening essays are based on
State Department and Foreign Office archives and
exude the silver tongue of diplomacy. It is refreshing
to read the assessment by Ian Jones of grassroots
attitudes to the Cold War culled from church
newsletters in Birmingham. - Stuart Mews, Theology
This groundbreaking contribution to Cold War
scholarship established that there was a significant
religious dimension to the Cold War and that it
mattered. These essays are profound explorations of
the longstanding and varied relationships of religious
institutions with temporal power, which is sustained by
claims to command lifes purpose.

From sixteenth-century Geneva to urban developments in Mecca today, The
Politics of Iconoclasm explores the history of image-breaking, the culture of
violence and its paradoxical roots in the desire for renewal. Examining these
dynamics of nationhood, technology, destruction and memory, a historical
journey is described in which the temple is razed and replaced by the machine.

Political Philosophy Cross-Examined

Perennial Challenges to the Philosophic Life
The Scandal of White Complicity

in US Hyper-incarceration
Edited by Thomas L. Pangle, University of Texas, USA, J.

Harvey Lomax, University of Memphis, USA
Political societies frequently regard philosophers as
potential threats to morality and religion, and those
who speak for politics often demand a defense of
philosophy. This book will address philosophy as a
mode of existence put into question.
A Nonviolent Spirituality of White Resistance

Alex Mikulich, Loyola University, USA, Laurie Cassidy,
Marywood University, USA, Margaret Pfeil, University
of Notre Dame, USA
The Scandal of White Complicity in U.S. HyperIncarceration is a much-needed attempt by three
Catholic scholars to unmask... the role of white
Americans in cooperation with evil. In so doing, they
pose a formidable challenge to U.S. Catholics, who
have been far too silent on this catastrophic threat to
human dignity that is hidden in plain sight. - Nathan
Schneider, The National Catholic Review
The Scandal of White Complicity and US Hyperincarceration is a groundbreaking exploration of the
moral role of white people in the disproportionate
incarceration of African-Americans and Latinos in the United States.

Oliver Rafferty, University of London, UK
Faith and the Brazilian Migration Experience
The 22 chapters of this work trace the elements

which have shaped how the Catholic Irish identified
themselves, and explore the political, religious, and
cultural dimensions of the complex picture which is
Irish Catholic identity.
Olivia Sheringham, University of Oxford, UK

Transnational Religious Spaces explores the role of
religion in the lives of Brazilian migrants in London and
on their return back home. Working with the notion
of religion as lived experience, it moves beyond rigid
denominational boundaries and examines how and
where religion is practiced in migrants everyday lives.

a balanced examination of Christians as enablers but,
more provocatively, as resisters of nuclear prohibitions.

'Karl Lampley has produced the first theological
interpretation of Nat Turners slave rebellion in
Virginia. In this impressive investigation, he affirms
the Christian dimensions of the revolt while at the
same time condemning the inhumane aspects of the
violence. He uses this pioneering theological and
critical investigation of Turner to raise some larger
issues around Christianity, violence, and community.
Lampley draws on primary and secondary sources,
and engages the Old and New Testaments, as well
as different models of theology within the Christian
tradition. This book sets the standard.' - Dwight N.
Hopkins, Editor, The Cambridge Companion to Black
Theology
In this unique volume, Lampley analyzes the theology of Nat Turners violent
slave rebellion in juxtaposition with Old Testament views of prophetic violence
and Jesus politics of violence in the New Testament and in consideration of the
history of Christian violence and the violence embedded in traditional Christian
theology.

Missionary Families
From Gabriel to Lucifer
Race, Gender and Generation on the Spiritual Frontier
A Cultural History of Angels
Emily Manktelow, University of York, UK
Valery Rees, School of Economic Science in London, UK
Taking the family as a legitimate unit of historical

analysis in its own right for the first time, Missionary
Families traces changing familial policies and lived
realities throughout the nineteenth century and
powerfully argues for the importance of an historical
understanding of the missionary enterprise.
Whether in recent popular culture, or back across

countless centuries, angels have perpetually enthralled
and even terrified us. Valery Rees offers the first
comprehensive history of these beautiful, enigmatic
and sometimes dangerous beings, whose existence and
actions have been charted across the eons of time and
civilization.

Virgin Mother Goddesses of Antiquity
A Royal City in a Time of Revolution
Marguerite Rigoglioso, Dominican University of

California, USA
'With this study, Rigoglioso has substantively
corrected the common perception that 'a few'
of the Greek goddesses have an inconsequential
association with parthenogenesis. Her insightful
explication of the parthenogenetic motif in the
attributes of all the pre-Greek goddesses, as well as
in the Thesmophoria and the Eleusinian Mysteries,
establishes the generative powers of the Virgin
Mother goddesses as a central dynamic in the preGreek substratum of Western religion.' - Charlene
Spretnak, author of Lost Goddesses of Early Greece
J. F. Merritt, University of Nottingham, UK

This book examines the varied and fascinating ways that this area traditionally
home to the royal court, the fashionable West End and parliament became the
seat of the successive, non-monarchical regimes of the 1640s and 1650s.

This book provides three categories of investigation:

1) The Typology and Context of the Greco-Roman

Jerusalem. Sauma met with the Pope and with many of the European monarchs and
his account further provides a unique picture of Medieval Europe through Asian eyes.

Sikh Militancy in the Seventeenth Century

Religous Violence in Mughal and Early Modern India
The Later Stuart Church, 1660-1714
Hardip Singh Syan, University of London, UK
In response to the expansion of the Mughal Empire

in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the
Sikh community began a process of militarization
which would culminate in a dramatic rebellion and
the foundation of the Sikh Empire in 1799 on the
Indian subcontinent. Images of a despotic Mughal
state, religious intolerance and a vulnerable Sikh
minority would come to characterize the periods
historiography. But, as Hardip Singh Syan argues, the
development of Sikh militancy was neither natural
nor inevitable. Drawing on a range of contemporary
sources, this book focuses on the intellectual dialogues
within the Sikh community and its relationship to the
wider Islamic world.

RELIGION IN HISTORY
Reason and Religion in Late SeventeenthCentury England
The Politics and Theology of Radical Dissent
Christopher J. Walker, UK
Christopher J Walker explores the tensions between
the forces of reason and revelation within English
religion in the volatile period following the end of the
Civil War. Ranging widely across the ideas of The Great
Tew Circle, the Cambridge Platonists and dissenters
like Paul Best and John Bidle (the father of English
Unitarianism), the author shows, controversially,
that the rational thinking and politics of many of the
most supposedly radical figures of the era were not
antipathetic to Christian faith but actually integral to
it. His book makes an important contribution to the
history of both religion and ideas.
Contents: Preface * Acknowledgements * Reason alongside
Religion * Yet Reason must assist too ... * When Sin and Son were not * Radical Reformers:
