The Story of an Ancient Life

ALEXANDER THE GREAT

Thomas R. Martin

THE STORY OF AN ANCIENT LIFE verything we know about Alexander comes from ancient sources, which agree unanimously that he was extraordinary and greater than everyday mortals. From his birth into a hypercompetitive world of royal women through his training under the eyes and fists of stern soldiers and the piercing intellect of Aristotle; through friendships, rivalries, conquests and negotiations; through acts of generosity and acts of murder, this book explains who Alexander was, what motivated him, where he succeeded (in his own eyes) and where he failed, and how he believed that he earned a new “mixed” nature combining the human and the divine. This book explains what made Alexander “Great” according to the people and expectations of his time and place and rejects modern judgments asserted on the basis of an implicit moral superiority to antiquity.

and Christopher W. Blackwell Furman University, South Carolina

Description

THOMAS R. MARTIN is the Jeremiah W. O’Connor Jr. Professor in Classics at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. He is the author of Ancient Greece and (with Ivy Sui-yuen) Herodotus and Sima Qian.

Augustus Introduction to the Life of an Emperor

Karl Galinsky

University of Texas, Austin

Description Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, is one of the great figures of world history and one of the most fascinating. In this lively and concise biography Karl Galinsky examines Augustus’ life from childhood to deification. He chronicles the mosaic of vicissitudes, challenges, setbacks and successes that shaped Augustus’ life, both public and private. How did he use his power? How did he manage to keep re-inventing himself? What kind of man was he? A transformative leader, Augustus engineered profound change in Rome and throughout the Mediterranean world. No one would have expected such vast achievements from the frail and little-known eighteen-year-old who became Caesar’s heir amid turmoil and crisis. A mere thirteen years later, after defeating Antony and Cleopatra, he had, in his words, ‘power over all things’.

Key Features • Concise, analytical and up-to-date treatment by a leading Augustan scholar • Engagingly written for general audience and especially undergraduates with little or no background in classical civilization • Text interspersed with illustrations and attention to special issues

Contents

1. From Velitrae to Caesar’s heir; 2. Power struggles and civil war; 3. The experiment of the principate; 4. The challenge of pax Augusta; 5. Augustus at home: friends and family; 6. Cultural vitality; 7. The Augustan empire: unity and diversity; 8. The final days and an assessment.

Yinyang The Way of Heaven and Earth in Chinese Thought and Culture

Robin R. Wang

Loyola Marymount University, California

Description The concept of yinyang lies at the heart of Chinese thought and culture. The relationship between these two opposing, yet mutually dependent, forces is symbolized in the familiar black and white symbol that has become an icon in popular culture across the world.

The real significance of yinyang is, however, more complex and subtle. This brilliant and comprehensive analysis by one of the leading authorities in the field captures the richness and multiplicity of the meanings and applications of yinyang, including its visual presentations. Through a vast range of historical and textual sources, the book examines the scope and role of yinyang, the philosophical significance of its various layers of meanings and its relation to numerous schools and traditions within Chinese (and Western) philosophy.

By putting yinyang on a secure and clear philosophical footing, the book roots the concept in the original Chinese idiom, distancing it from Western assumptions, frameworks and terms, yet also seeking to connect its analysis to shared cross-cultural philosophical concerns.

Key Features • First comprehensive analysis of the meanings and significance of yinyang in English through an array of previously untapped sources • The book locates yinyang squarely within the Chinese philosophical tradition • Fluently written for students and scholars in Chinese history, philosophy and religion

Contents

1. Introduction; 2. Yinyang cosmology; 3. Yinyang matrix; 4. Yinyang strategy; 5. Yinyang body; 6. Yinyang symbol.

The Nature-Nurture Debates Bridging the Gap

Dale Goldhaber University of Vermont

Description How is it possible that in more than one hundred years, the nature-nurture debate has not come to a satisfactory resolution? The problem, Dale Goldhaber argues, lies not with the proposed answers, but with the question itself. In The Nature-Nurture Debate, Goldhaber reviews the four major perspectives on the issue – behavior genetics, environment, evolutionary psychology and developmental systems theory – and shows that the classic, reductionist strategies (behavior genetics and environmental approaches) are incapable of resolving the issue because they each offer a false perspective on the process of human development. It is only through a synthesis of the two holistic perspectives of evolutionary psychology and developmental systems theory that we will be able to understand the nature of human behavior.

Key Features • The most comprehensive treatment of the nature-nurture topic available • Offers a synthesis of the two holistic perspectives, evolutionary psychology and developmental systems theory • Explains why reductionist approaches have never been able to resolve the issue from either the nature or nurture perspective

Contents

1. Issues and questions; 2. A brief history lesson; 3. The proxy debate: a primer on methodology and analysis; 4. A classic debate; 5. A new debate; 6. So what?; 7. Now what?

Are We Getting Smarter?

Rising IQ in the Twenty-First Century

James R. Flynn

University of Otago, New Zealand

Description The ‘Flynn effect’ is a surprising finding, identified by James R. Flynn, that IQ test scores have significantly increased from one generation to the next over the past century. Flynn now brings us an exciting new book which aims to make sense of this rise in IQ scores and considers what this tells us about our intelligence, our minds and society. Are We Getting Smarter? features fascinating new material on a variety of topics including the effects of intelligence in the developing world; the impact of rising IQ scores on the death penalty, cognitive ability in old age and the language abilities of youth culture; as well as controversial topics of race and gender. He ends with the message that assessing IQ goes astray if society is ignored. As IQ scores continue to rise into the twenty-first century, particularly in the developing world, the ‘Flynn effect’ marches on.

Key Features • Clarifies ‘The Flynn Effect’ – the significance of massive IQ gains over time – and extends the theories of What Is Intelligence? to focus on explanations for the eponymous effect • Features exciting new material on IQ and its effects on race and gender differences; the death penalty; memory loss; adolescence; and aging • Unites psychology and sociology to falsify misinterpreted research results such as women being less intelligent than men; black people being less intelligent than white; the diagnosis of black women as psychotic; and the linking of violence with low-IQ

Contents

1. Opening windows; 2. IQ and intelligence; 3. Developing nations; 4. Death, memory, and politics; 5. Youth and age; 6. Race and gender;

7. The sociological imagination; 8. Progress and puzzles; Appendix I. IQ trends; Appendix II. Capital cases and comparing the WAIS-III IQs of various nations; Appendix III.

Anthropology

Anthropology and Development Culture, Morality and Politics in a Globalised World

Emma Crewe

School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

and Richard Axelby

School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

Description In recent decades international development has grown into a world-shaping industry.

But how do aid agencies work and what do they achieve? How does aid appear to those who receive it? And why has there been so little improvement in the position of the poor?

Viewing aid and development from anthropological perspectives gives illuminating answers to questions such as these. This essential textbook reveals anthropologists’ often surprising findings and details ethnographic case studies on the cultures of development. The authors use a fertile literature to examine the socio-political organisation of aid communities, agencies and networks as well as the judgements they make about each other.

Exploring the spaces between policy and practice, success and failure, the future and the past, this book provides a rounded understanding of development work that suggests new moral and political possibilities for an increasingly globalised world.

Key Features • Through introductory explanations of the theory and many examples and stories, anthropological concepts are made more accessible • Key points and key questions raised summarised for each chapter • The only up-to-date textbook on aid and development which offers a broad overview of the contribution made by anthropologists

Contents

1. Introduction: hope and despair; 2. Anthropologists engaged; 3. The social and political organisation of aid and development; 4. The elusive poor; 5. Human rights and cultural fantasies;

6. Hierarchies of knowledge; 7. The moralities of production and exchange; 8. The politics of policy and practice; 9. Imagining the future; Appendix. Challenging questions arising from this book.

The Archaeology of Ancient Egypt Beyond Pharaohs

Douglas J. Brewer

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Description Egyptologists, art historians, philologists and anthropological archaeologists have long worked side by side in Egypt, but they often fail to understand one another’s approaches.

This book aims to introduce students to the archaeological side of the study of ancient Egypt and to bridge the gap between disciplines by explaining how archaeologists tackle a variety of problems. Douglas J. Brewer introduces the theoretical reasoning for each approach, as well as the methods and techniques applied to support it. This book is an essential read for any student considering further study of ancient Egypt.

Key Features • The book is not a simple review of artifacts and sites, but instead focuses on the archaeology of Egypt (as opposed to its cultural history) and solving questions of the past through archaeological method and theory • Contrasts the different types of archaeology conducted in Egypt and presents conclusions based on archaeological data • Focuses on how one interprets the artifacts rather than the artifacts themselves

Contents

1. Introduction: archaeology: history and development; 2. The first Egyptians: the art and science of dating; 3. Agriculture and the Nile Valley: biology, the environment, and sampling; 4. A cultural transformation: explaining and describing the past; 5. Unification and the king: the limits of archaeology;

6. The first great cycle: hypotheses and models; 7. Stability and provincialism: archaeology and the environment; 8. The desert frontiers: archaeology of the ‘other’; 9. From artifacts to culture: back to basics; 10. Archaeology in perspective.

Archaeology

The Archaeology of Cyprus From Earliest Prehistory through the Bronze Age

A. Bernard Knapp University of Glasgow

Description Situated between the worlds of the Near East, Europe and Africa, the archaeology and culture of Cyprus are central to an understanding of the ancient Mediterranean world.

This book treats the archaeology of Cyprus from the first-known human presence during the Late Epipalaeolithic (c.11,000 BC) through the end of the Bronze Age (c.1000 BC). A. Bernard Knapp examines the archaeological and documentary records of prehistoric Cyprus within their regional context, paying special attention to the Levant and the Aegean. The appendix (compiled by Sturt W. Manning) analyses all published radiocarbon dates from the island, providing for the first time a comprehensive chronological framework for all of Cypriot prehistory. Focusing on key themes such as identity, insularity and connectivity, and society, community and polity throughout, this book provides a remarkably up-to-date and integrated synthesis of human activity on the Mediterranean’s third-largest island.

Key Features • Only up-to-date, integrated, archaeological synthesis of human activity on the Mediterranean’s third largest island over its entire history • Guided by certain themes (identity, insularity and connectivity; society, community and polity) that help bring to life the material and historical records of prehistoric Cyprus • Presents an island archaeology of Cyprus, but always relates events on Cyprus to those of contemporary cultures in the Aegean and the Levant (modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Turkey)

Contents

1. Introduction; 2. Chronology, current research, and interpretive context; 3. Early prehistoric Cyprus i: Palaeolithic – Early Aceramic Neolithic; 4. Early prehistoric Cyprus ii: Late Aceramic Neolithic (LAN) and Ceramic Neolithic;

5. Later prehistoric Cyprus: Chalcolithic – Late Chalcolithic; 6. Prehistoric Bronze Age Crete (PreBA); 7. Protohistoric Bronze Age Greece (ProBA); 8. Conclusions: insularity, connectivity, and identity on prehistoric and protohistoric Cyprus; Appendix: a chronology for prehistoric Cyprus, ca.

11000–1050 Cal BC.

Paul the Apostle His Life and Legacy in Their Roman Context

Paul the aPostle

J. Albert Harrill

his life and legacy in their roman context

Ohio State University

Description This book is a controversial new biography of the apostle Paul that argues for his inclusion in the pantheon of key figures of classical antiquity, along with the likes of Socrates, Alexander the Great, Cleopatra and Augustus. It first provides a critical reassessment of the apostle’s life in its historical context that focuses on Paul’s discourse of authority, which was both representative J. albert harrill of its Roman context and provocative to his rivals within Roman society. It then considers the legend that developed around Paul as the history of his life was elaborated and embellished by later interpreters, creating legends that characterized the apostle variously as a model citizen, an imperial hero, a sexual role model, an object of derision and someone to quote from. It is precisely this rewriting of Paul’s history into legend that makes the apostle a key transformative figure of classical antiquity.

Key Features • A controversial new thesis about Paul’s Roman cultural identity, which argues for continuity between the Jewish ‘Saul’ and the Christian ‘Paul’ • An interdisciplinary approach using biblical studies and classical studies, academic fields not normally combined • Looks at later legends about the apostle as part of Paul’s ‘life story’

Contents

Introduction; Part I. The Life: 1. From Pharisee to Apostle; 2. Communities in the making; 3. Paul’s life in its Roman context;

Part II. The Legend: 4. Competing stories about Paul in Late Antiquity; 5. Paul the scriptural authority: contradictory discourses; 6. How the West got Paul wrong; Conclusion: going beyond the epitaph.

The Economics of Freedom Theory, Measurement, and Policy Implications

Sebastiano Bavetta

Università degli Studi, Palermo, Italy

and Pietro Navarra

Università degli Studi di Messina, Italy

Description What is freedom? Can we measure it? Does it affect policy? This book develops an original measure of freedom called ‘Autonomy Freedom’, consistent with J. S. Mill’s view of autonomy, and applies it to issues in policy and political design. The work pursues three aims. First, it extends classical liberalism beyond exclusive reliance on negative freedom so as to take autonomous behavior explicitly into account. Second, it grounds on firm conceptual foundations a new standard in the measurement of freedom that can be fruitfully coupled with existing gauges. Third, it shows empirically that individual preferences for redistribution and cross-country differences in welfare spending in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries are driven by the degree of ‘autonomy freedom’ that individuals enjoy. By means of an interdisciplinary approach and a sophisticated econometric methodology, the book takes an explicit stand in defense of freedom and sets the basis for a liberalism based upon people’s actions and institutions.

Key Features • Offers an original measure of freedom, based on an extended view of classical liberalism • Uses an interdisciplinary approach that has roots in economics, politics and philosophy • Provides an extensive empirical analysis based on a sophisticated econometric methodology measuring freedom in OECD countries

Contents

1. Introduction; Part I. Concepts and Tools: 2. Choice and freedom; 3. Measuring autonomy freedom; 4. The empirical measure of autonomy;

Part II. Autonomy Freedom and the Welfare State: 5. Why redistribute?; 6. Autonomy freedom and redistribution; 7. Autonomy freedom and welfare spending; 8. Conclusion.

Transforming Modern Macroeconomics Exploring Disequilibrium Microfoundations, 1956–2003

Roger Backhouse

University of Birmingham

and Mauro Boianovsky Universidade de Brasília

Description This book tells the story of the search for disequilibrium micro-foundations for macroeconomic theory, from the disequilibrium theories of Patinkin, Clower and Leijonhufvud to recent dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models with imperfect competition. Placing this search against the background of wider developments in macroeconomics, the authors contend that this was never a single research program, but involved economists with very different aims who developed the basic ideas about quantity constraints, spillover effects and coordination failures in different ways. The authors contrast this with the equilibrium, marketclearing approach of Phelps and Lucas, arguing that equilibrium theories simply assumed away the problems that had motivated the disequilibrium literature. Although market-clearing models came to dominate macroeconomics, disequilibrium theories never went away and continue to exert an important influence on the subject. Although this book focuses on one strand in modern macroeconomics, it is crucial to understanding the origins of modern macroeconomic theory.

Key Features • Covers an important period in the history of macroeconomics (1956–2003) that historians have not yet studied in depth • Roger Backhouse is one of the UK’s leading methodologists and historians of economic analysis • Draws on archival materials and is based on analysis of a wide theoretical literature

Contents

1. Introduction; 2. Macroeconomics after Keynes; 3. Don Patinkin and the neoclassical synthesis; 4. Clower, Leijonhufvud and the re-appraisal of Keynesian economics; 5. Macroeconomics with slow price adjustment;

6. ‘Equilibrium’ microfoundations; 7. General equilibrium and imperfect competition; 8. Microeconomics and macroeconomics; 9. After the 1970s; 10. Conclusions; Bibliography.

How Capitalism Was Built The Transformation of Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia Second edition

Anders Aslund

Peterson Institute for International Economics, Washington, DC

Description Anders Aslund is known to make bold predictions that initially arouse controversy but soon become common wisdom. In Gorbachev’s Struggle for Economic Reform (1989), he foresaw the collapse of the Soviet political and economic system. After Russia’s financial crisis of 1998, observers declared the market economic experiment a failure, Aslund foresaw market economic success (Building Capitalism, 2002). In How Capitalism Was Built, Second Edition, he asks – and answers for the twenty-one countries he investigates: • Why did communism collapse?

• Why did Russia not choose gradual reforms like China did?

• Wherein lies the relative success of postcommunist transformation?

• How did the oligarchs arise and decline vis-à-vis authoritarian leaders?

Anyone who wants to understand the often confusing postcommunist dramas and obtain an early insight into the future will find this intellectually stimulating book useful. This edition includes updates to each chapter and new chapters on the impact of the global financial crisis and the European Union.

Rethink HIV Smarter Ways to Invest in Ending HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa

Edited by Bjørn Lomborg Copenhagen Business School

Description Thirty years after the identification of the disease that became known as AIDS, humanitarian organizations warn that the fight against HIV/AIDS has slowed, amid a funding shortfall and donor fatigue. In this book, Bjørn Lomborg brings together research by world-class specialist authors, a foreword by UNAIDS founding director Peter Piot and perspectives from Nobel Laureates and African civil society leaders to identify the most effective ways to tackle the pandemic across sub-Saharan Africa. There remains an alarming lack of high-quality data evaluating responses to HIV. We still know too little about what works, where and how to replicate our successes. This book offers the first comprehensive attempt by teams of authors to analyze HIV/AIDS policy choices using cost-benefit analysis, across six major topics. This approach provides a provocative fresh look at the best ways to scale up the fight against this killer epidemic.

Terror and Democracy in West Germany Karrin Hanshew

Michigan State University

Description In 1970, the Red Army Faction declared war on West Germany. The militants failed to bring down the state, but this book argues that the decade-long debate they inspired helped shape a new era. After 1945, West Germans answered long-standing doubts about democracy’s viability and fears of authoritarian state power with a ‘militant democracy’ empowered against its enemies and a popular commitment to anti-fascist resistance. In the 1970s, these postwar solutions brought Germans into open conflict, fighting to protect democracy from both terrorism and state overreaction. Drawing on diverse sources, Karrin Hanshew shows how Germans, faced with a state of emergency and haunted by their own history, managed to learn from the past and defuse this adversarial dynamic. This negotiation of terror helped them to accept the Federal Republic of Germany as a stable, reformable polity and to reconceive of democracy’s defence as part of everyday politics.

Key Features • Includes a wide array of actors, including government officials, anti-nuclear protestors, new right scholars and new left writers • Places West German terrorism in the broader postwar context • Examines how a democratic society successfully confronts a state of emergency, specifically a state of emergency brought about by terrorism

Contents

1. Democracy made militant: the Federal Republic of Germany; 2. Disobedient Germans: resistance and the extraparliamentary left; 3. ‘Mister Computer’ and the search for internal security; 4. The security state, new social movements, and the duty to resist; 5. The German autumn, 1977; 6. Civility, German identity, and the end of the postwar.

Europe and the Maritime World A Twentieth Century History

Michael B. Miller University of Miami

Description Europe and the Maritime World: A Twentieth-Century History offers a new framework for understanding globalisation over the past century. Through a detailed analysis of ports, shipping and trading companies whose networks spanned the world, Michael B. Miller shows how a European maritime infrastructure made modern production and consumer societies possible. He argues that the combination of overseas connections and close ties to home ports contributed to globalisation. Miller also explains how the ability to manage merchant shipping’s complex logistics was central to the outcome of both world wars. He chronicles transformations in hierarchies, culture, identities and port city space, all of which produced a new and different maritime world by the end of the century.

Key Features • A new history of globalisation in the twentieth century • The first comprehensive study of the maritime world in the twentieth century • A trans-national history of networks across all the seas, setting European history within a world perspective

Hybrid Warfare Fighting Complex Opponents from the Ancient World to the Present

Edited by Williamson Murray Ohio State University

and Peter R. Mansoor Ohio State University

Description Hybrid warfare has been an integral part of the historical landscape since the ancient world, but only recently have analysts – incorrectly – categorised these conflicts as unique. Great powers throughout history have confronted opponents who used a combination of regular and irregular forces to negate the advantage of the great powers’ superior conventional military strength. As this study shows, hybrid wars are labour-intensive and long-term affairs; they are difficult struggles that defy the domestic logic of opinion polls and election cycles.

Hybrid wars are also the most likely conflicts of the twenty-first century, as competitors use hybrid forces to wear down America’s military capabilities in extended campaigns of exhaustion. Nine historical examples of hybrid warfare, from ancient Rome to the modern world, provide readers with context by clarifying the various aspects of conflicts and examining how great powers have dealt with them in the past.

Key Features • Nine examples of hybrid war from the ancient world to the present • Introductory and concluding essays frame and analyse the special problems that hybrid war presents to great powers • Demonstrates the importance of understanding hybrid warfare for today’s policy makers and military leaders

Contents

Introduction: 1. Hybrid warfare in history; 2. Conquering Germania: a province too far; 3. Keeping the Irish down and the Spanish out: English strategies of submission in Ireland, 1594–1603; 4. The American revolution: hybrid war in America’s past; 5. That accursed Spanish war: the Peninsular War, 1807–14;

6. The union’s counter-guerrilla war, 1861–5; 7. Fighting ‘this nation of liars to the very end’: the German army in the Franco–Prussian War, 1870–1; 8.

Ivan Berend

University of California, Los Angeles

Description Why did some countries and regions of Europe reach high levels of economic advancement in the nineteenth century, while others were left behind? This new transnational survey of the continent’s economic development highlights the role of regional differences in shaping each country’s economic path and outcome.

A History of Modern Morocco Susan Gilson Miller

University of California, Davis

Description Morocco is notable for its stable and durable monarchy, its close ties with the West, its vibrant cultural life and its centrality to regional politics. This book, by distinguished historian Susan Gilson Miller, offers a richly documented survey of modern Moroccan history. Arguing that pragmatism rather than ideology has shaped the monarchy’s response to crisis, the book begins with the French invasion of Algeria in 1830 and Morocco’s abortive efforts at reform, the duel with colonial powers and the loss of independence in 1912, the burdens and benefits of France’s forty-four year dominion and the stunning success of the nationalist movement leading to independence in 1956. In the post-independence era, the book traces the monarchy’s gradual monopolization of power and the resulting political paralysis, with a postscript bringing events up to 2012. This concise, readable book will inform and enthral students and all those searching for the background to present-day events in the region.

Key Features • A readable, concise and richly layered history of modern Morocco by a leading scholar in the field • Explains the role of the monarchy and its impact on modern Moroccan society and culture, taking the story up to the Arab Spring • For students of the Middle East, North Africa and all those interested in how the past has impacted on Morocco’s present

Adrian Vickers

University of Sydney

Description Since the Bali bombings of 2002 and the rise of political Islam, Indonesia has frequently occupied media headlines. Nevertheless, the history of the fourth largest country on earth remains relatively unknown.

The Enlightenment Third edition

The Enlightenment

Dorinda Outram

Dor inDa ou t r a m

University of Rochester, New York

Description Debate over the meaning of ‘Enlightenment’ began in the eighteenth century and still continues to this day. This period saw the opening of arguments on the nature of man, truth, the place of God and the international circulation of ideas, people and gold. But did the Enlightenment mean the same for men and women, for rich and poor, for Europeans and non-Europeans? In the third edition of her acclaimed book, Dorinda Outram addresses these and other questions about the Enlightenment as controversy increases about its place at the foundation of modernity. She studies it as a global phenomenon, setting the period against broader social changes. This new edition offers a new chapter on political economy, a completely revised further reading section and a new feature on electronic sources to stimulate primary research. This accessible overview will be essential reading for students of eighteenth-century history, philosophy and the history of ideas.

Inhumanities Nazi Interpretations of Western Culture

David B. Dennis

Loyola University, Chicago

Description Inhumanities is an unprecedented account of the ways Nazi Germany manipulated and mobilized European literature, philosophy, painting, sculpture and music in support of its ideological ends. David B. Dennis shows how, based on belief that the Third Reich represented the culmination of Western civilization, culture became a key propaganda tool in the regime’s program of national renewal and its campaign against political, national and racial enemies. Focusing on the daily output of the Völkischer Beobachter, the party’s official organ and the most widely circulating German newspaper of the day, he reveals how activists twisted history, biography and aesthetics to fit Nazism’s authoritarian, militaristic and anti-Semitic world views. Ranging from National Socialist coverage of Germans such as Luther, Dürer, Goethe, Beethoven, Wagner and Nietzsche to ‘great men of the Nordic West’ such as Socrates, Leonardo and Michelangelo, Dennis reveals the true extent of the regime’s ambitious attempt to reshape the ‘German mind’.

Key Features • The first comprehensive survey of the ways the Nazi party appropriated major figures of the Western cultural tradition • Traces the Nazi party’s efforts to convince Germans that Nazism offered cultural advancement as well as political leadership • Reveals how high culture was used to justify the elimination of enemies of the Volk

Contents

Introduction; Part I. Foundations of Nazi Cultural History: 1. The ‘Germanic’ origins of western culture; 2. Voxvolkish; 3. The western tradition as political and patriotic; 4. The western tradition as anti-Semitic; 5. The archenemy incarnate; Part II. Blind to the Light:

History

The Transatlantic Century Europe and the United States, 1890–2010

Mary Nolan

New York University

Description This is a fascinating new overview of European-American relations during the long twentieth century. Ranging from economics, culture and consumption to war, politics and diplomacy, Mary Nolan charts the rise of American influence in Eastern and Western Europe, its midtwentieth century triumph and its gradual erosion since the 1970s. She reconstructs the circuits of exchange along which ideas, commodities, economic models, cultural products and people moved across the Atlantic, capturing the differing versions of modernity that emerged on both sides of the Atlantic and examining how these alternately produced cooperation, conflict and ambivalence toward the other. Attributing the rise and demise of American influence in Europe not only to economics but equally to wars, the book locates the roots of many transatlantic disagreements in very different experiences and memories of war. This is an unprecedented account of the American Century in Europe that recovers its full richness and complexity.

Key Features • Panoramic history of European-American relations which avoids simplistic views of an inevitable ‘American Century’ • Pays equal attention to economics, politics and culture, offering the reader a complex and multifaceted picture of transatlantic interactions • Overcomes cold war geographic boundaries to include East Central Europe and Russia/the Soviet Union, in a broad definition of Europe

Contents

Introduction; 1. An uncertain balance, 1890–1914; 2. World War I: European crisis and American opportunity; 3. Ambivalent engagement; 4. The Great Depression and transatlantic new deals; 5. Strange affinities, new enemies;

Writing and Society An Introduction

Florian Coulmas

German Institute for Japanese Studies, Tokyo

Description How does writing relate to speech? What impact does it have on social organisation and development? How do unwritten languages differ from those that have a written form and tradition? This book is a general account of the place of writing in society. Drawing on contemporary and historical examples, from clay tablets to touchscreen displays, the book explores the functions of writing and written language, analysing its consequences for language, society, economy and politics. It examines the social causes of illiteracy, demonstrating that institutions of central importance to modern society are built upon writing and written texts, and are characterised by specific forms of communication. It explores the social dimensions of spelling and writing reform, as well as of digital literacy, a new mode of expression and communication posing novel challenges to the student of language in society.

Key Features • Demonstrates why writing merits more attention within the study of language and society • Draws on a wide variety of examples from different linguistic and cultural settings • Discussion points in each chapter help students to absorb and reflect on what they have learnt

Music

The Cambridge Companion to Opera Studies Edited by Nicholas Till University of Sussex

Description With its powerful combination of music and theatre, opera is one of the most complex and yet immediate of all art forms. Once opera was studied only as ‘a stepchild of musicology’, but in the past two decades opera studies have experienced an explosion of energy with the introduction of new approaches drawn from disciplines such as social anthropology and performance studies to media theory, genre theory, gender studies and reception history.

Written by leading scholars in opera studies today, this Companion offers a wide-ranging guide to a rapidly expanding field of study and new ways of thinking about a rich and intriguing art form, placing opera back at the centre of our understanding of Western culture over the past 400 years. This book gives lovers of opera as well as those studying the subject a comprehensive approach to the many facets of opera in the past and today.

Political Beethoven Nicholas Mathew

University of California, Berkeley

Description Musicians, music lovers and music critics have typically considered Beethoven’s overtly political music as an aberration; at best, it is merely notorious, at worst, it is denigrated and ignored. In Political Beethoven Nicholas Mathew returns to the musical and social contexts of the composer’s political music throughout his career – from the early marches and antiFrench war songs of the 1790s to the grand orchestral and choral works for the Congress of Vienna – to argue that this marginalized functional art has much to teach us about the lofty Beethovenian sounds that came to define serious music in the nineteenth century.

Beethoven’s much-maligned political compositions, Mathew shows, lead us into the intricate political and aesthetic contexts that shaped all of his oeuvre, thus revealing the stylistic, ideological and psycho-social mechanisms that gave Beethoven’s music such a powerful voice – a voice susceptible to repeated political appropriation, even to the present day.

Key Features • Brand new account of the relationship between Beethoven’s music and the political life, both in his own time and up to the present – there has never been a study that has treated the subject of Beethoven and politics so comprehensively, from both historical and theoretical points of view • Explains Beethoven’s prominence in the musical life of the West in terms of the political power of his music • Discusses and contextualises the denigrated ‘political music’ that Beethoven composed throughout his life to make this the only source available to find out about certain works and their contexts • Of relevance to music historiography of the entire nineteenth century

Contents

Introduction: political collaborations; 1. Music between myth and history; 2. Beethoven’s moments; 3. The sounds of power and the power of sound; 4. The inner public; 5. After the war; Appendix: eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century musical sources consulted.

Edited by Timothy M. Costelloe College of William and Mary, Virginia

Description This volume offers readers a unique and comprehensive overview of theoretical perspectives on ‘the sublime’, the singular aesthetic response elicited by phenomena that move viewers by transcending and overwhelming them. The book consists of an editor’s introduction and fifteen chapters written from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Part One examines philosophical approaches advanced historically to account for the phenomenon, beginning with Longinus, moving through eighteenth- and nineteenth-century writers in Britain, France and Germany and concluding with developments in contemporary continental philosophy. Part Two explores the sublime with respect to particular disciplines and areas of study, including Dutch literature, early modern America, the environment, religion, British Romanticism, the fine arts and architecture. Each chapter is both accessible for nonspecialists and offers an original contribution to its respective field of inquiry.

Philosophical Religions from Plato to Spinoza Reason, Religion, and Autonomy

Carlos Fraenkel

McGill University, Montréal

Description Many pagan, Jewish, Christian and Muslim philosophers from Antiquity to the Enlightenment made no meaningful distinction between philosophy and religion. Instead they advocated a philosophical religion, arguing that God is Reason and that the historical forms of a religious tradition serve as philosophy’s handmaid to promote the life of reason among non-philosophers. Carlos Fraenkel provides the first account of this concept and traces its history back to Plato. He shows how Jews and Christians appropriated it in Antiquity, follows it through the Middle Ages in both Islamic and Jewish forms and argues that it underlies Spinoza’s interpretation of Christianity. The main challenge to a philosophical religion comes from the modern view that all human beings are equally able to order their lives rationally and hence need no guidance from religion. Fraenkel’s wide-ranging book will appeal to anyone interested in how philosophy has interacted with Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religious traditions.

Key Features • Reveals links between pagan, Jewish, Christian and Muslim philosophers that had not been recognized before • Shows how Plato’s political philosophy became a framework for the philosophical reinterpretation of Judaism, Christianity and Islam • Offers a new interpretation of Spinoza’s approach to religion that reveals the extent to which it is rooted in medieval Muslim and Jewish philosophy

Contents

Introduction: what is a philosophical religion?; 1. Reason, divine law, and self-rule in Plato; 2. Moses, Christ and the universal rule of reason in antiquity; 3. Communities of reason in the Islamic world; 4. Christianity as a philosophical religion in Spinoza; Epilogue: did the history of philosophical religions come to an end?

The Soul of Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil Maudemarie Clark and David Dudrick

Colgate University, New York

Description This book presents a provocative new interpretation of Beyond Good and Evil, arguably Nietzsche’s most important work. The problem is that it appears to express merely a loosely connected set of often questionable opinions. Can Nietzsche really be an important philosopher if this is his most important book? Maudemarie Clark and David Dudrick address this question with a close reading that emphasizes how Nietzsche writes. They argue that the first part of Beyond Good and Evil presents coherent and interconnected arguments for subtle and well-thought-out positions on traditional issues. Nietzsche’s infamous doctrine of the will to power turns out to be a compelling account of the structure and origin of the human soul. And although he rejects some aspects of traditional philosophy, Nietzsche’s aim is to show how philosophy’s traditional aspirations to seek both the true and the good can be fulfilled. Beyond Good and Evil turns out to be a major work of philosophy and Nietzsche’s masterpiece.

Key Features • Provides a detailed and sophisticated analysis of Nietzsche’s most important work • Advances an entirely original argument, one that questions current scholarship and will provoke discussion among Nietzsche scholars • Allows readers to ‘make sense’ of Nietzsche and his thought

Contents

Introduction; Part I. The Will to Truth and the Will to Value: 1. Setting the stage: Neitzsche’s preface; 2. Understanding the ‘magnificent tension of the spirit’; 3. Philosophy and the will to value; 4. Science and the will to truth;

5. Satisfying the will to truth and the will to value; Part II. The Will to Power: 6. Nietzsche’s soul; 7. The will; 8. The other doctrines of the will to power; Conclusion.

Ethics and Science An Introduction

Adam Briggle

University of North Texas

and Carl Mitcham

Colorado School of Mines

Description Who owns your genes? What does climate science imply for policy? Do corporations conduct honest research? Should we teach intelligent design? Humans are creating a new world through science. The kind of world we are creating will not simply be decided by expanding scientific knowledge, but will depend on views about good and bad, right and wrong. These visions, in turn, depend on critical thinking, cogent argument and informed judgement. In this book, Adam Briggle and Carl Mitcham help readers to cultivate these skills. They first introduce ethics and the normative structure of science and then consider the ‘society of science’ and its norms for the responsible conduct of research and the treatment of human and animal research subjects. Later chapters examine ‘science in society’ – exploring ethical issues at the interfaces of science, policy, religion, culture and technology.

Each chapter features case studies and research questions to stimulate further reflection.

Key Features • Each chapter features opening and closing case studies and questions for further research and reflection • Exposes students to the full gamut of ethical issues associated with science – from those internal to scientific research to those at the interface of science and society • An international scope with emphasis on the globalising research enterprise

Contents

Preface; 1. Introduction and overview; 2. Ethical concepts and theories; 3. Science and its norms; 4. Research ethics I: misconduct and the responsible conduct of research;

Kierkegaard and the Theology of the Nineteenth Century The Paradox and the ‘Point of Contact’

George Pattison University of Oxford

Description This study shows how Kierkegaard’s mature theological writings reflect his engagement with the wide range of theological positions which he encountered as a student, including German and Danish Romanticism, Hegelianism and the writings of Fichte and Schleiermacher. George Pattison draws on both major and lesser-known works to show the complexity and nuances of Kierkegaard’s theological position, which remained closer to Schleiermacher’s affirmation of religion as a ‘feeling of absolute dependence’ than to the Barthian denial of any ‘point of contact’, with which he is often associated. Pattison also explores ways in which Kierkegaard’s theological thought can be related to thinkers such as Heidegger and John Henry Newman, and its continuing relevance to present-day debates about secular faith. His volume will be of great interest to scholars and students of philosophy and theology.

Key Features • Provides a comprehensive exposition of Kierkegaard’s early study of Schleiermacher and Hegelian theology • Enhances readers’ understanding of key topoi in Kierkegaard interpretation • Shows the extent of Kierkegaard’s place within the paradigm of Schleiermacherian theology, especially regarding his theology of creation

Contents

References to Kierkegaard’s works; Introduction; 1. Beginning with the beginning of modern theology; 2. Speculative theology; 3. David Friedrich Strauss; 4. Immanence and transcendence; 5. Out there with the lilies and the birds;

Physics

A History of the Electron J. J. and G. P. Thomson

Jaume Navarro

University of the Basque Country, Bilbao

Description Two landmarks in the history of physics are the discovery of the particulate nature of cathode rays (the electron) by J. J. Thomson in 1897 and the experimental demonstration by his son G. P. Thomson in 1927 that the electron exhibits the properties of a wave. Together, the Thomsons are two of the most significant figures in modern physics, both winning Nobel prizes for their work. This book presents the intellectual biographies of the father-and-son physicists, shedding new light on their combined understanding of the nature of electrons and, by extension, of the continuous nature of matter. It is the first text to explore J. J. Thomson’s early and later work, as well as the role he played in G. P. Thomson’s education as a physicist and how he reacted to his son’s discovery of electron diffraction. This fresh perspective will interest academics and graduate students working in the history of early twentieth-century physics.

Key Features • The first book to bring together the biographies of the father-and-son physicists, J. J. and G. P. Thomson, with a focus on the significance of the electron in their work • Clear language that is free from unnecessary technicalities makes this accessible to the non-scientist • Systematically describes a key episode in the British reception of quantum physics in the early twentieth century

Contents

Introduction; 1. The early years in Manchester and Cambridge; 2. J. J. Thomson’s early work in Cambridge: a continuous and all-embracing physics; 3. The ether and the corpuscle: from waves to particles; 4. On creeds and policies: the corpuscular theory of matter; 5. Father and son. Old and new physics; 6. The electron in Aberdeen: from particle to wave; Index.

The Politics of Nationalism in Modern Iran Ali M. Ansari

University of St Andrews, Scotland

Description The first full-length study of Iranian nationalism in nearly five decades, this sophisticated and challenging book by the distinguished historian Ali M. Ansari explores the idea of nationalism in the creation of modern Iran. It does so by considering the broader developments in national ideologies that took place following the emergence of the European Enlightenment and showing how these ideas were adopted by a non-European state. Ansari charts a course through twentieth-century Iran, analysing the growth of nationalistic ideas and their impact on the state and demonstrating the connections between historiographical and political developments. In so doing, he shows how Iran’s different regimes manipulated ideologies of nationalism and collective historical memory to suit their own ends. Drawing on hitherto untapped sources, the book concludes that it was the revolutionary developments and changes that occurred during the first half of the twentieth century that paved the way for later radicalisation.

Key Features • Radical new interpretation of Iranian history, which demonstrates the ideological connections between Mohammad Reza Shah and Ayatollah Khomeini • Situates Iranian nationalism within the context of the European Enlightenment • Written by one of the premier historians of Iran for students and scholars of the Middle East, political scientists and intellectual historians

Contents

1. Introduction; 2. An Iranian enlightenment; 3. The age of extremes; 4. The age of contestation.

Foundations of Modern International Thought David Armitage

Harvard University, Massachusetts

Description Between the early seventeenth and mid-nineteenth centuries, major European political thinkers first began to look outside their national borders and envisage a world of competitive, equal sovereign states inhabiting an international sphere that ultimately encompassed the whole globe. In this insightful and wide-ranging work, David Armitage – one of the world’s leading historians of political thought – traces the genesis of this international turn in intellectual history. Foundations of Modern International Thought combines important methodological essays, which consider the genealogy of globalisation and the parallel histories of empires and oceans, with fresh considerations of leading figures such as Hobbes, Locke, Burke and Bentham in the history of international thought. The culmination of more than a decade’s reflection and research on these issues, this book restores the often overlooked international dimensions to intellectual history and recovers the intellectual dimensions of international history.

Key Features • Wide-ranging and important collection of essays by one of the world’s leading historians of political thought • Extensive, original and methodologically innovative scholarship critically engages with the most up-to-date work in the field • Sheds new light on major figures in the history of political thought, including Hobbes, Locke, Burke and Bentham

The Power and the People Paths of Resistance in the Middle East

Charles Tripp

University of London

Description This book is about power. The power wielded over others – by absolute monarchs, tyrannical totalitarian regimes and military occupiers – and the power of the people who resist and deny their rulers’ claims to that authority by whatever means. The extraordinary events in the Middle East in 2011 offered a vivid example of how non-violent demonstration can topple seemingly invincible rulers. This book considers the ways in which the people have united to unseat their oppressors and fight against the status quo and probes the relationship between power and forms of resistance. It also examines how common experiences of violence and repression create new collective identities. This brilliant, yet unsettling book affords a panoramic view of the twentieth and twenty-first century Middle East through occupation, oppression and political resistance.

Key Features • Brilliant, yet unsettling exploration of the twentieth and twenty-first century Middle East through occupation, oppression and political resistance • References the extraordinary events of the Arab Spring to parallel moments in the past • A unique study for all those interested in current events and in the history of this turbulent region

Contents

1. State capture and violent resistance; 2. Contesting public space: resistance as the denial of authority; 3. Imposition and resistance in economic life; 4. Body politics: women’s rights and women’s resistance; 5. History wars: contesting the past, reclaiming the future; 6. Symbolic forms of resistance: art and power.

Making Democratic Governance Work How Regimes Shape Prosperity, Welfare, and Peace

Pippa Norris

Harvard University, Massachusetts

Description Is democratic governance good for economic prosperity? Does it accelerate progress towards social welfare and human development? Does it generate a peace-dividend and reduce conflict at home? Within the international community, democracy and governance are widely advocated as intrinsically desirable goals. Nevertheless, alternative schools of thought dispute their consequences and the most effective strategy for achieving critical developmental objectives. This book argues that both liberal democracy and state capacity need to be strengthened to ensure effective development, within the constraints posed by structural conditions. Liberal democracy allows citizens to express their demands, hold public officials to account and rid themselves of ineffective leaders. Yet rising public demands that cannot be met by the state generate disillusionment with incumbent officeholders, the regime, or ultimately the promise of liberal democracy ideals. Thus governance capacity also plays a vital role in advancing human security, enabling states to respond effectively to citizen’s demands.

Key Features • Offers a new theoretical framework seeking to explain the impact of the democratic governance on economic development, human welfare and internal peace • The theory is tested empirically among diverse types of regimes, using worldwide evidence during the third wave of democracy • By challenging many of the contemporary arguments advanced by idealists and realists, the book provides a more comprehensive understanding

Contents

Part I. Introduction: 1. Does democratic governance determine human security?; 2. Theories of regime effects; Part II. Comparing Regimes: 3. The regime typology; 4. Analyzing regime effects;

Part III. Development Outcomes: 5. Prosperity; 6. Welfare; 7. Peace; Part IV. Conclusions: 8. Why regimes matter.

War, Guilt, and World Politics after World War II Thomas U. Berger Boston University

Description When do states choose to adopt a penitent stance towards the past? When do they choose to offer apologies for historical misdeeds, offer compensation for their victims and incorporate the darker sides of history into their textbooks, public monuments and museums? When do they choose not to do so? And what are the political consequences of how states portray the past? This book pursues these questions by examining how governments in post-1945 Austria, Germany and Japan have wrestled with the difficult legacy of the Second World War and the impact of their policies on regional politics in Europe and Asia. The book argues that states can reconcile over historical issues, but to do so requires greater political will and imposes greater costs than is commonly realized. At the same time, in an increasingly interdependent world, failure to do so can have a profoundly disruptive effect on regional relations and feed dangerous geopolitical tensions.

Key Features • Provides an in-depth comparison of the development of the politics of historical memory in Europe and Asia • Makes the case for a realistic approach to the problem of reconciliation over historical issues, one that recognizes both the powerful forces that place the past on the political agenda and makes dealing with it so difficult • Offers an interdisciplinary theoretical framework for understanding the forces that shape state policies on history

Contents

1. Politics and memory in an age of apology; 2. Germany: the model penitent; 3. Austria: the prodigal penitent; 4. Japan: the model impenitent?; 5. Asia: the geopolitics of remembering and forgetting: towards an expanded model; 6. Conclusions: the varieties of penitence.

The Politics of Authoritarian Rule Milan W. Svolik

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Description What drives politics in dictatorships? Milan W. Svolik argues authoritarian regimes must resolve two fundamental conflicts. Dictators face threats from the masses over which they rule – the problem of authoritarian control. Secondly from the elites with whom dictators rule – the problem of authoritarian power-sharing. Using the tools of game theory, Svolik explains why some dictators establish personal autocracy and stay in power for decades; why elsewhere leadership changes are regular and institutionalized, as in contemporary China; why some dictatorships are ruled by soldiers, as Uganda was under Idi Amin; why many authoritarian regimes, such as PRI-era Mexico, maintain regime-sanctioned political parties; and why a country’s authoritarian past casts a long shadow over its prospects for democracy, as the unfolding events of the Arab Spring reveal. Svolik complements these and other historical case studies with the statistical analysis on institutions, leaders and ruling coalitions across dictatorships from 1946 to 2008.

Key Features • Proposes a general analytical framework for the study of authoritarian politics • Uses comprehensive, original data on institutions and leadership changes in all dictatorships throughout the period 1946–2008 • Using the tools of game theory, this book develops new formal models of authoritarian power-sharing, institutional choice, repression and cooptation

Contents

1. Introduction: the anatomy of dictatorship; 2. The world of authoritarian politics; Part I. The Problem of Authoritarian Power-Sharing: 3. And then there was one!: Authoritarian powersharing and the path to personal dictatorship;

4. Institutions, collective action, and the success of authoritarian power-sharing; Part II. The Problem of Authoritarian Control: 5.

Freud, Psychoanalysis and Death Liran Razinsky

Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Description Was ‘death’ a lacuna at the heart of Sigmund Freud’s work? Liran Razinsky argues that the question of death is repressed, rejected and avoided by Freud, therefore resulting in an impairment of the entire theoretical structure of psychoanalysis. Razinsky supports his claim through a series of close readings of psychoanalytic texts (including not just Freud, but Klein, Kohut, Jung and Lacan among others) that explore psychoanalysis’ inattention to this fundamental human concern. The readings are combined to form an overall critique of psychoanalysis – one that remains sympathetic but calls for a rethinking of the issue of death. In presenting a fresh and persuasive interpretation of the Freudian corpus, this book will be of interest to scholars of Freud’s thought and psychoanalysis, literary scholars, analysts, clinicians and to all those curious about death’s psychic life.

Key Features • A solid yet far-ranging interpretation of Freud that poses challenges to psychoanalysis, examines its frontiers and possibilities, and provides a call for a reappraisal and renewal of theory • Features rich, sensitive and suggestive readings of Freud’s texts including a refreshing bold analysis of The Interpretation of Dreams • Combines literary tradition (close readings of Freud) and familiarity with psychoanalysis and clinical thinking – the author has roots in both

Contents

Introduction; 1. Against death: Freud and the question of death’s psychic presence; 2. ‘Most of the time life appears so uncertain to me’: death as a concern in Freud’s life; 3. The dream of death: The Interpretation of Dreams; 4. To dream, perchance to die: a further exploration of The Interpretation of Dreams;

5. Death and anxiety; 6. A struggle with the concept of death: Thoughts for the Times on War and Death; 7. Driving death away: Freud’s theory of the death drive; 8. Death and culture: death as a central motif in Freud’s cultural and literary analyses; 9. Avoidance and reduction of death in psychoanalysis;

The Cambridge Companion to New Religious Movements Edited by Olav Hammer University of Southern Denmark

and Mikael Rothstein University of Copenhagen

Description New religions emerge as distinct entities in the religious landscape when innovations are introduced by a charismatic leader or a schismatic group leaves its parent organization.

New religious movements (NRMs) often present novel doctrines and advocate unfamiliar modes of behavior, and have therefore often been perceived as controversial. NRMs have, however, in recent years come to be treated in the same way as established religions, that is, as complex cultural phenomena involving myths, rituals and canonical texts. This Companion discusses key features of NRMs from a systematic, comparative perspective, summarizing results of forty years of research. The volume addresses NRMs that have caught media attention, including movements such as Scientology, New Age, the Neopagans, the Sai Baba movement and Jihadist movements active in a post-9/11 context. An essential resource for students of religious studies, the history of religion, sociology, anthropology and the psychology of religion.

Key Features • Discusses recent approaches to NRMs treating them as movements analogous to more traditional religions, namely, comprising myths, scriptures and rituals • Offers a global perspective, taking examples from a wide range of new religions • Provides ethnographies of particular movements, references to additional resources and a systematic introduction

Contents

Introduction to New Religious Movements; Part I. Social Science Perspectives: 1. The sociology of New Religious Movements; 2. Religion and the Internet; 3. Major controversies involving New Religious Movements: a comparative perspective; Part II. Themes: 4. History and the end of time in New Religions;

The Cambridge Companion to Christian Mysticism Edited by Amy Hollywood Harvard Divinity School

and Patricia Z. Beckman University of Missouri, Columbia

Description The Cambridge Companion to Christian Mysticism is a multi-authored interdisciplinary guide to the study of Christian mysticism, with an emphasis on the third through the seventeenth centuries. The book is thematically organized in terms of the central contexts, practices and concepts associated with the mystical life in early, medieval and early modern Christianity.

This book looks beyond the term ‘mysticism’, which was an early modern invention, to explore the ways in which the ancient terms ‘mystic’ and ‘mystical’ were used in the Christian tradition: what kinds of practices, modes of life and experiences were described as ‘mystical’? What understanding of Christianity and of the life of Christian perfection is articulated through mystical interpretations of scripture, mystical contemplation, mystical vision, mystical theology or mystical union?

This volume both provides a clear introduction to the Christian mystical life and articulates a bold new approach to the study of mysticism.

Key Features • Multi-authored by leading scholars • Interdisciplinary – includes work by scholars in religious studies, theological studies, history, English literature, comparative literature, Spanish literature, German studies and art history • The organization of the material is different to any other introduction to the study of Christian mysticism, focusing on key terms derived from early, medieval and early modern Christian texts

Contents

Introduction; Part I. Contexts: 1. Early monasticism; 2. Song, experience, and the book in Benedictine monasticism; 3. New religious movements in medieval western Europe; 4. Early modern reformations; Part II. Key Terms: 5. Apophatic and cataphatic theology;

6. Lectio divina; 7. Meditatio/meditation; 8. Oratio/prayer; 9. Visio/vision; 10. Raptus/rapture; 11. Unio mystica/mystical union; 12. Actio et contemplatio/action and contemplation; Part III. Contemporary Questions: 13. Latin and the vernaculars;

The Bolsheviks and the Russian Empire Liliana Riga

University of Edinburgh

Description This comparative historical sociology of the Bolshevik revolutionaries offers a reinterpretation of political radicalization in the last years of the Russian Empire. Finding that two-thirds of the Bolshevik leadership were ethnic minorities – Ukrainians, Latvians, Georgians, Jews and others – this book examines the shared experiences of assimilation and socioethnic exclusion that underlay their class universalism. It suggests that imperial policies toward the Empire’s diversity radicalized class and ethnicity as intersectional experiences, creating an assimilated but excluded elite: lower-class Russians and middle-class minorities universalized particular exclusions as they disproportionately sustained the economic and political burdens of maintaining the multiethnic Russian Empire. The Bolsheviks’ social identities and routes to revolutionary radicalism show especially how a class-universalist politics was appealing to those seeking secularism in response to religious tensions, a universalist politics where ethnic and geopolitical insecurities were exclusionary, and a tolerant ‘imperial’ imaginary where Russification and illiberal repressions were most keenly felt.

Key Features • Presents a new interpretation of the Bolshevik Revolution • Offers a study in political radicalization, which links ethnicity/religion and political identities, so has important implications for understanding political radicalism today • Provides insights into the roles of nationalism and ethnicity in the politics of multiethnic states and empires

Contents

Part I. Identity and Empire: 1. Reconceptualizing Bolshevism; 2. Social identities and imperial rule; Part II. Imperial Strategies and Routes to Radicalism in Contexts: 3. The Jewish Bolsheviks;

4. The Polish and Lithuanian Bolsheviks; 5. The Ukranian Bolsheviks; 6. The Latvian Bolsheviks; 7. The South Caucasian Bolsheviks; 8. The Russian Bolsheviks.

Waves of War Nationalism, State Formation, and Ethnic Exclusion in the Modern World

Andreas Wimmer

University of California, Los Angeles

Description Why did the nation-state emerge and proliferate across the globe? How is this process related to the wars fought in the modern era? Analyzing datasets that cover the entire world over long stretches of time, Andreas Wimmer focuses on changing configurations of power and legitimacy to answer these questions. The nationalist ideal of self-rule gradually diffused over the world and delegitimized empire after empire. Nationalists created nationstates wherever the power configuration favored them, often at the end of prolonged wars of secession. The elites of many of these new states were institutionally too weak for nation-building and favored their own ethnic communities. Ethnic rebels challenged such exclusionary power structures that violated the principle of self-rule, and neighboring governments sometimes intervened into these struggles over the state. Waves of War demonstrates why nation-state formation and ethnic politics are crucial to understand the civil and international wars of the past 200 years.

Key Features • A new analysis of the rise and global spread of the nation-state and the associated conflicts and wars – a crucial, but often overlooked, process that shaped the modern world • Introduces a fresh perspective on war and conflict by highlighting the crucial role of political legitimacy • Based on solid quantitative evidence from new, original datasets that cover the entire world

Contents

1. Introduction and summary; 2. The birth of the nation; 3. The global rise of the nation-state; 4. Nation-state formation and war; 5. Ethnic politics and armed conflict; 6. Can peace be engineered?; 7. Conclusion; Appendices.
