Aristotle and Natural Law
Wittgenstein's Religious Point of View
Early Greek Thought
new in PB
Before the Dawn James Luchte
Controversially, Labron challenges common views of Wittgenstein as anti-Semitic, and examines the nature of Wittgenstein's early and later philosophies and the idea of a religious point of view as an analogy for a philosophy.
Informed by a hermeneutic perspective and continental thought, this is an original survey of the Pre-Socratic thinkers, the contexts from which they emerged and their continuing influence.

Tragic Views of the Human Condition
Love of a God of Love
Cross-Cultural Comparisons between Views of Human Nature in Greek and Shakespearean Tragedy and the Mahabharata and Bhagavadgita
Towards a Transformation of the Philosophy of Religion
Lourens Minnema This book delivers cross-cultural comparisons between Western, primarily Greek and Shakespearean, and Hindu views of man and human nature. Minnema identifies embedded views of human nature in stories — issues such as coping with evil, suffering, loss, death, power, gender, injustice, fate, freedom — and explores them first in terms of their particular settings before comparing them cross-culturally.
