Classical Philosophy NEW IN PAPERBACK

A History of Mind and Body in Late Antiquity Anna Marmodoro | University of Oxford

The first integrated history of this important topic, this book explores ideas about mind and body during this period, considering both pagan and Christian thought about issues such as resurrection, incarnation and asceticism.

These essays provide the first full study of Aristotle’s notion of evil, and shed light on its content, potential, and influence. They show that his theory is both attractive and elaborate, tracing its development in ancient and modern philosophy and reconstructing Aristotle’s account of ‘radical evil’.

• Provides the first systematic account of Aristotle’s notion of evil, showing that it is both elaborate and attractive • Considers the question of ‘radical evil’ in Aristotle, a highly disputed topic in ancient and modern philosophy • Traces the influence of Aristotelian thought on evil in later philosophers’ work, making this book important for those interested in moral philosophy as well as in the history of philosophy 285pp January 2020 9781316614150 Paperback GBP 24.99 / USD 32.99 February 2018 9781107161979 Hardback GBP 75 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781316676813

Rediscovering Political Friendship Aristotle’s Theory and Modern Identity, Community, and Equality Paul W. Ludwig | St John’s College, Annapolis

This book applies Aristotle’s argument - that citizenship is like friendship - to modern society.

Emotional bonds often grow around shared utilities such as trade, common defense and the regime, each contributing to a (limited) form of friendship. By recognizing and understanding civic friendship, we can build on it to counteract societal polarization.

The Emergence of Autonomy in Kant’s Moral Philosophy

Knowledge as Acceptable Testimony

Stefano Bacin | Università degli Studi di Milano

Steven L. Reynolds | Arizona State University

Kantian autonomy is one of the central concepts of contemporary moral thought. For Kant scholars, moral philosophers, and human rights theorists - professional and advanced students - this book offers a thorough historical understanding of how and why Kant introduced the concept of autonomy.

• Covers a highly significant topic of Kant scholarship and contemporary moral thought • The first essay collection exclusively on the development of Kant’s notion of autonomy • Provides close philosophical and historical analysis of this central Kantian concept

The volume will appeal to epistemologists and to those interested in sociology and psychology.

• Explores how the concept of knowledge functions to improve the exchange of information • Reconsiders the philosophical theory of knowledge using the concept of social norms, taking a new approach to a central philosophical problem • Outlines recent developments in analytic theory of knowledge, making this book accessible to readers beyond epistemology specialists

• Moves beyond the existing focus on the historical contextualization of Jesus’ Jewishness to show its broader implication for interreligious thought • Discusses the Jewishness of Jesus in comparison with his blackness, thus taking liberation and contextual theologies seriously • Develops contemporary dogmatic thinking in conversation with Jewish and Muslim interlocutors and reveals fresh theological dimensions to the study of Abrahamic religions 222pp March 2020 9781108498890 Hardback GBP 75 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781108689755

Religious Ethics Are We Slaves to our Genes?

Denis R. Alexander | University of Cambridge

This book shows how a predisposition to behave in certain ways is influenced at a molecular level by particular genes. Yet a far greater influence on our behaviours is our world-views that lie beyond science - and that have an impact on how we think the latest genetic discoveries should, or should not, be applied.

• Explains the basic principles of genetics for someone who has no background in genetics and gives tools to the general reader to understand and critically assess the latest genetic discoveries • Explains the various ways in which genetic differences between people are, or are not, involved in their behavioural differences • Explores how powerful world-views can be in shaping the interpretation and applications of the latest genetic discoveries 275pp October 2020 9781108426336 Hardback GBP 74.99 / USD 99.99 October 2020 9781108445054 Paperback GBP 22.99 / USD 29.99 eISBN 9781108566520

Healthy Conflict in Contemporary American Society From Enemy to Adversary Jason A. Springs | University of Notre Dame, Indiana

Develops an approach to contemporary religious, moral, and political conflicts in which conflict may be constructively reframed and creatively engaged toward productive democratic practice, rather than viewed mainly as a source of aversion that needs to be rooted out or resolved once and for all.

Thoreau’s Religion Walden Woods, Social Justice, and the Politics of Asceticism Alda Balthrop-Lewis | Australian Catholic University, Melbourne

32

Contributes to scholarship in religious studies, political theory, English, environmental studies, and critical theory with the first reading of Thoreau’s religiously motivated politics. Against interpretations that promote quietist versions of environmentalism, Balthrop-Lewis shows how Walden can contribute to efforts for environmental justice.

• Walden, Henry David Thoreau’s most famous work, is caricatured as a paean to wilderness, when it is actually about economic justice. This book at last sets that right • Readers rarely think of Walden as being about religion. This book shows how deeply invested Thoreau was in religious ideas, while also offering subtle, interdisciplinary readings of Thoreau that contribute to other fields like environmental studies and politics • Gives a new vital urgency to Thoreau’s legacy for environmental politics in a world fractured by racial and economic inequality • Develops the novel concept of ‘political asceticism,’ which describes practices of renunciation that contribute to the reformation of social and political life • Shows that rather than being asocial, areligious, and apolitical, Thoreau’s retreat to the woods was a reinvestment in an alternative vision of social, religious, and political life New Cambridge Studies in Religion and Critical Thought 256pp February 2021 9781108835107 Hardback GBP 75 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781108891608

Theology Ambrose, Augustine, and the Pursuit of Greatness J. Warren Smith | Duke University, North Carolina

Two important theologians of early Christianity were Ambrose of Milan and Augustine of Hippo. Both were intellectually formed by philosophers, such as Cicero, who taught that virtue was the way to greatness. Yet they saw contradictions between Roman and Christian ethical ideals. Could these competing visions of greatness be reconciled?

• Examines the Classical and Hellenistic cultural backgrounds for the development of Christian theology and ethics in late antiquity • Examines how two major Latin theologians, Ambrose and Augustine, used the language of greatness to distinguish Christian virtue from pagan virtue • Provides an account of the development of the idea of greatness and the ideal of the great-souled man after Aristotle 350pp September 2020 9781108490740 Hardback GBP 75 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781108854764

Aquinas, Original Sin, and the Challenge of Evolution Daniel W. Houck

This book will be required reading for anyone interested in the history of the doctrine of original sin or Christianity and science. It offers a groundbreaking discussion of Thomas Aquinas in his medieval context. Moreover, it defends a view of original sin that is compatible with mainstream evolutionary biology.

• Proposes a new interpretation of the doctrine of original sin that is consonant with mainstream evolutionary theory • Overturns the consensus reading of Aquinas on original sin through a close reading of his neglected (yet most in-depth) discussions of the doctrine • Considers numerous accounts of original sin, including those of Anselm, Abelard, Lombard, Kant, Schleiermacher, and Barth to demonstrate that the concept has been understood in radically diverse ways in the history of theology 292pp March 2020 9781108493697 Hardback GBP 75 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781108642927

Aspects of Truth A New Religious Metaphysics Catherine Pickstock | University of Cambridge

This bold new work offers a discussion of the topic of truth from simultaneously philosophical and theological perspectives. It argues for the value of a metaphysical approach to truth. This approach defends the notion that truth cannot be separated from what the author calls ‘the reality of the thinking soul’.

• Advances a daring and original new argument about truth that unites philosophy and theology as well as premodern and postmodern perspectives • The author, an originator of the controversial Radical Orthodoxy movement,is one of the most creative and best known theological thinkers at work today • Moves towards a notion of truth that gets beyond the limitations of epistemological argument, and as such will be of great interest to theologians and philosophers alike 275pp September 2020 9781108840323 Hardback GBP 29.99 / USD 39.99 eISBN 9781108885614

Blood Theology Seeing Red in Body- and God-Talk Eugene F. Rogers, Jr | University of North Carolina, Greensboro

Offers the first focused investigation of why Christians invoke the language of blood to cooperate, sacrifice, grow and disagree, and of how this theological discourse seeps into wider debates in civic society.

Religious arguments have significant societal consequences, Rogers contends; and secular citizens must do their best to understand them.

• Blood is central to Christian theology and iconography yet underexplored in the literature: this book finally gives it the sustained treatment the topic deserves • Makes significant links between secularized and Christian use of blood-language, with profound and important implications for civil society and discourse • The author is one of the foremost creative theologians in the US, whose book Sexuality and the Christian Body is widely regarded as a classic and whose work in the area of theology and sex is widely cited as groundbreaking 288pp March 2021 9781108843287 Hardback GBP 29.99 / USD 39.99 eISBN 9781108909983

Eucharist and Receptive Ecumenism From Thanksgiving to Communion Kimberly Hope Belcher | University of Notre Dame, Indiana

Discussions between Christians from different traditions often focus on doctrine, but for many Christians, differences in practice and worship are much more central and important. By looking at the eucharist as thanksgiving, this book bridges Catholic and Protestant practice and theology and shows a new approach to Christian unity.

• Receptive ecumenism is a relatively new approach to dialogue between Christians from different denominations.; this book is both an exercise in the method and a demonstration of scholarly humility in action • The historical context of theological development, especially what Christians were doing and what they thought they ought to be doing, is used to contextualize contentious doctrines and debates like transubstantiation and sacrifice • The author’s approach both expands our understanding of the eucharist and illuminates the role of thanksgiving in our daily and spiritual life 300pp October 2020 9781108839563 Hardback GBP 75 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781108884464

Participation in God A Study in Christian Doctrine and Metaphysics Andrew Davison | University of Cambridge

Few ideas have excited greater interest among theologians in recent decades than the idea of ‘participation’: the idea that everything comes from, and depends upon, God, in a way that invites use of the language of sharing, or of an exemplar and its images.

Virtue and Grace in the Theology of Thomas Aquinas Justin M. Anderson | Seton Hall University, New Jersey
