Abstract:

To mark the bicentenary of the birth of Antonio Meucci, under the umbrella of the «Genio Fiorentino» initiative three important events addressing the figure of the famous inventor of the telephone and the culture of his time were organised by the National Committee for the celebrations, the Provincial Authority and the University of Florence. Bringing together the contributions made on these occasions, this book starts with an initial pictorial itinerary through Meucci's Florence focusing on his educational formation in the Restoration Grand Duchy, and going on to embrace more generally the cultural climate and the technical and scientific milieu of early nineteenth-century Tuscany. A special section is devoted to the aspect of communications at the time, with a view to placing in its historical context the technical and scientific environment in which Meucci's training took place.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter provides a new account of G.F. Stout’s doctrine of abstract particulars. Stout advanced this doctrine to avoid the excesses of nominalism on the one hand and realism on the other. But his arguments have been widely misconceived as metaphysical. Stout’s arguments are in fact ideological and epistemological; he argued that our epistemic practices would break down if only universals were given to us. It is commonly supposed that G.E. Moore’s famous (1921) criticisms of Stout missed their mark. But, this chapter argues, Moore was onto something and Stout failed to account for predication in general.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter begins two weeks after Newsweek's retraction when Vanity Fair ended over thirty years of speculation by revealing the famous Watergate-era unnamed source Deep Throat to be Mark Felt, an ex-FBI official. In contrast to the other incidents, the journalism community celebrated Deep Throat as a triumph of unnamed source use. Drawing on the collective memory of Watergate, journalists reaffirmed the value of using unnamed sources to expose wrongdoing. The heroic interpretation of Felt encountered resistance from others who questioned Felt's motives and actions. In the larger view, these critics railed against anonymity by promoting an alternative normative argument suggesting government employees should work internally to resolve issues rather than in public through journalists.

MacBride, Fraser. Introduction. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198811251.003.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

This introduction explains how the development of early analytic philosophy was interwoven with scepticism about the particular–universal distinction, that the failure of Kant’s efforts to transcendentally justify these concepts provided a crucial stimulus for the emergence of analytic philosophy under G.E. Moore and Russell. It outlines, how, in subsequent chapters, this line of influence is followed from the early Moore and Russell through to Wittgenstein’s own deduction of the general form of the proposition (‘es verhält sich so und so’) because this provides scant information about the tolerable arrangement of elements in judgement. F.P. Ramsey’s famous scepticism about the particular–universal distinction is a consequence of this. Wittgenstein and Ramsey’s cognate reflections mark the mature culmination of a line of reflection begun by Moore that thwarted Kant’s ambitions of deriving the categories from reflection upon the nature of judgement in favour of a more naturalistic outlook.

Full text

Abstract:

This article focuses the theory of Malthus and the arguments of his Essay on the Principle of Population. This famous essay colored the thinking and actions of nineteenth-century householders and policy-makers. Vulgar Malthusian ideology missed the mark through an over-simplification of complex human behaviour, but general practice embodied his norms from 1760 to 1884. Even as the accuracy of the Malthusian model waned in terms of his description of marriage and reproduction at the end of the 1800s, its hold on the popular imagination persisted. Malthus bewitched the people with a picture. In 1798 Malthus proffered a schematic objection to their blueprints for perfecting humanity. Malthus postulated that the ‘passion between the sexes’ could unleash human ‘prolifick powers’ to reproduce at geometric rates, while technology generated merely arithmetic increases in the quantities of food necessary for human survival. An analysis of Malthusianism in practice concludes this article.

Abstract:

For almost forty years the study of the Iron Age in Britain has been dominated by Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe. Between the 1960s and 1980s he led a series of large-scale excavations at famous sites including the Roman baths at Bath, Fishbourne Roman palace, and Danebury hillfort which revolutionized our understanding of Iron Age society, and the interaction between this world of "barbarians" and the classical civilizations of the Mediterranean. His standard text on Iron Age Communities in Britain is in its fourth edition, and he has published groundbreaking volumes of synthesis on The Ancient Celts (OUP, 1997) and on the peoples of the Atlantic coast, Facing the Ocean (OUP, 2001). This volume brings together papers from more than thirty of Professor Cunliffe's colleagues and students to mark his retirement from the Chair of European Archaeology at the University of Oxford, a post which he has held since 1972. The breadth of the contributions, extending over 800 years and ranging from the Atlantic fringes to the eastern Mediterranean, is testimony to Barry Cunliffe's own extraordinarily wide interests.

Abstract:

This chapter narrates Regina's romances and culminates in her marriage. Regina, like many young women in New York City, had a dating life that was complicated, diverse, and mysterious. She had more than one fiancé, a long distance relationship, a possible affair with a Jewish writer, and a secret lover—the author of a “Dear Reggie” letter who may have been the one she truly loved though her family disapproved of the liaison. During the early years of her marriage, Regina was involved with the local Rho chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, an African American sorority, and served as the president. Famous past and present members of the sorority include Lena Horne, Mary McLeod Bethune, Mary Church Terrell, Barbara Jordan, Judith Jamison, Wilma Rudolph, and Nikki Giovanni, among others.

Full text

Abstract:

‘It was the garden that did it – and Mary and Dickon and the creatures – and the Magic.’ An orphaned girl, a grim moorland manor with hundreds of empty rooms, strange cries in the night, a walled garden, with its door locked and the key buried – and a boy who talks to animals. These are the ingredients of one of the most famous and well-loved of children’s classics. Through her discovery of the secret garden, Mary Lennox is gradually transformed from a spoilt and unhappy child into a healthy, unselfish girl who in turn redeems her neglected cousin and his gloomy, Byronic father. Frances Hodgson Burnett’s inspiring story of regeneration and salvation gently subverted the conventions of a century of romantic and gothic fiction for girls. After a hundred years, The Secret Garden’s critique of empire and of attitudes to childhood and gender, and its advocacy of a holistic approach to health remains remarkably contemporary and relevant.

Blanchard, Shaun. The Synod of Pistoia and Vatican II. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190947798.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

This book sheds further light on the nature of church reform and the roots of the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) through a study of eighteenth-century Catholic reformers who anticipated the Council. The most striking of these examples is the Synod of Pistoia (1786), the high-water mark of late Jansenism. Most of the reforms of the Synod were harshly condemned by Pope Pius VI in the bull Auctorem fidei (1794), and late Jansenism was totally discredited in the ultramontane nineteenth-century Church. Nevertheless, much of the Pistoian agenda—such as an exaltation of the role of bishops, an emphasis on infallibility as a gift to the entire Church, religious liberty, a simpler and more comprehensible liturgy that incorporates the vernacular, and the encouragement of lay Bible reading and Christocentric devotions—was officially promulgated at Vatican II. The career of Bishop Scipione de’ Ricci (1741–1810) and the famous Synod he convened are investigated in detail. The international reception (and rejection) of the Synod sheds light on why these reforms failed, and the criteria of Yves Congar are used to judge the Pistoian Synod as “true or false reform.” This book proves that the Synod was a “ghost” present at Vatican II. The council fathers struggled with, and ultimately enacted, many of the same ideas. This study complexifies the story of the roots of the Council and Pope Benedict XVI’s “hermeneutic of reform,” which seeks to interpret Vatican II as in “continuity and discontinuity on different levels” with past teaching and practice.

Abstract:

The Introduction justifies and demonstrates strategies for understanding Beckett’s political aesthetic. It shows how Beckett performs contradictions within debates about the political value of modernism. It situates Beckett in terms of Adorno’s early insights into Beckett’s work. And, working with Beckett’s German Diaries, the chapter demonstrates how Beckett’s work directly engages political material from contemporary history. As a pertinent example, the chapter reads the famous “pot” episode in the novel Watt, illustrating how Beckett satirizes Eintopf, or communal onepot, central to Nazi propaganda. Examining the implications, the chapter marks out new ways to read Beckett’s work, and summarizes the arguments from the chapters ahead.

Abstract:

The emergence of the infamous celebrity—the famous criminal—coincided with the development of modern criminology, print culture, rapid urbanization, and visual technologies that provided authorities with novel means of surveillance and control. The popular notion that one could read personality characteristics into a portrait of a lover or a friend carried powerful implications for how the public approached mug shots and other images of criminals. In this context, Americans were relearning how to see—and San Franciscans were at the forefront of this change. They devised a new system of visual spectacle and surveillance that would influence a wide cross section of visual cultures, from the external marks of class to criminality to celebrity—and those categories were intertwined from the beginning.

Full text

Abstract:

It may be useful that there should be some record of an education which was unusual and remarkable John Stuart Mill (1806-73), philosopher, economist, and political thinker, was the most prominent figure of nineteenth century English intellectual life and his work has continuing significance for contemporary debates about ethics, politics and economics. His father, James Mill, a close associate of the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, assumed responsibility for his eldest son's education, teaching him ancient Greek at the age of three and equipping him with a broad knowledge of the physical and moral sciences of the day. Mill’s Autobiography was written to give an account of the extraordinary education he received at the hands of his father and to express his gratitude to those he saw as influencing his thought, but it is also an exercise in self-analysis and an attempt to vindicate himself against claims that he was the product of hothousing. The Autobiography also acknowledges the substantial contribution made to Mill’s thinking and writings by Harriet Taylor, whom he met when he was twenty-four, and married twenty-one years later, after the death of her husband. The Autobiography helps us understand more fully some of the principal commitments that Mill’s political philosophy has become famous for, in particular his appreciation of the diversity, plurality, and complexity of ways of life and their possibilities. This edition of the Autobiography includes additional manuscript materials from earlier drafts which demonstrate the conflicting imperatives that influenced Mill’schoice of exactly what to say about some of the most significant episodes and relationships in his life. Mark Philps introduction explores the forces that led Mill to write the ‘life’ and points to the tensions in the text and in Mill's life.

Full text

Abstract:

Was Napoleon killed by the arsenic in his wallpaper? How did Rasputin survive cyanide poisoning? Which chemicals in our environment pose the biggest threat to our health today? In The Elements of Murder, John Emsley answers these questions and offers a fascinating account of five of the most toxic elements--arsenic, antimony, lead, mercury, and thallium--describing their lethal chemical properties and highlighting their use in some of the most famous murder cases in history. In this exciting book, we meet a who's who of heartless murderers. Mary Ann Cotton, who used arsenic to murder her mother, three husbands, a lover, eight of her own children, and seven step children; Michael Swango, who may have killed as many as 60 of his patients and several of his colleagues during the 20 years he practiced as a doctor and paramedic; and even Saddam Hussein, who used thallium sulfate to poison his political rivals. Emsley also shows which toxic elements may have been behind the madness of King George III, the delusions of Isaac Newton, and the strange death of King Charles II. In addition, the book examines many modern day environmental catastrophes, including accidental mass poisonings from lead and arsenic, and the Minamata Bay disaster in Japan. Written by a leading science writer, famous for his knowledge of the elements and their curious and colorful histories, The Elements of Murder offers an enticing combination of true crime tales and curious science that adds up to an addictive read.

Abstract:

Mary C. McCall Jr. was the Screen Writers Guild’s most valuable asset from its earliest days through the blacklist. Eventually, she would publicly sacrifice her career in Hollywood defending the basic right of screen credit against a new breed of politically repressive producers. But, like her most famous creation, Maisie Ravier, McCall did not give up on herself or her show business industry. Sadly, over the years, the guild and historians of Hollywood have denied her the screen credit she deserves. She was one of the most politically active and powerful of all Hollywood writers, and yet is one of the least discussed in scholarly accounts of the film industry. Though much of the scholarship on studio-era Hollywood screenwriters has focused on the men who led the Hollywood Left, during the studio era, McCall wielded more power than any Hollywood woman before or since. This is her story.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the most famous episode of medieval reading—the moment in which Francesca da Rimini and her lover Paolo simultaneously kiss and fall into perdition while reading the story of Lancelot in Inferno 5, which has long been at the centre of my research. Here I investigate further aspects of this rich episode of reading, such as the connection to the visual (for instance, to illuminations of the scene of the kiss in the Lancelot) and the highly nuanced ways in which Dante has Francesca using literary texts in her speech. Next, I explore the ways in which ‘reading together’ has performative effects in medieval courtly literature, and then I contextualize Francesca’s reading within a genealogy of unconventional women readers: Heloise and Alyson of Bath, Mary and Flamenca, bringing to light the force of their heterodox, bodily, and creative ways of reading ‘as a woman’.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter argues that the famous ‘Mannheim paradox’ regarding the ideological understanding of ideology in Ideology and Utopia merely serves as a preparation for a far more complex and persistent paradox that poses a recurrent problem for any political science seeking to understand the relation of political ideologies to political reality: namely, when we try to understand contending political ideologies at any one historical moment and test them for their ‘congruence’ with historical and sociological ‘reality’, our construction of this context is itself informed by these ideologies or our partisan understanding of them. To deal with this paradox Mannheim suggests a new political science based on Marx and Weber. This political science seeks to construct fields of competing ideologies—such as conservatism, liberalism, and socialism—and play off the insight and blindness of each to create a momentary ‘synthesis’ of the relation between political ideas and a dynamic political reality.

Full text

Abstract:

Eugene Wigner famously challenged philosophers to account for ‘the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics’. Mark Steiner responded that mathematics is essentially species specific and thus the strategies involved in its applicability are, at their core, anthropocentric. This chapter tackles Steiner’s claims and suggests that the mystery he sees in mathematics’ applicability can be dispelled by adopting a kind of optimistic attitude with regard to the variety of mathematical structures that are typically made available in any given context. This suggests applying mathematics is simply a matter of finding a structure to fit the phenomena in question. However, as Wilson notes, mathematics is more ‘rigid’ than this attitude assumes and certain ‘special circumstances’ must obtain for it to be brought into contact with physics. We suggest that it is via certain idealizations that these circumstances are constructed and the mystery of the applicability of mathematics is dispelled.

Full text

Abstract:

This book details the new forms of workers' protest and opposition that have developed as Japan's economy has transformed over the past three decades and highlights their impact upon the country's policymaking process. Drawing on a new dataset charting protest events from the 1980s to the present, the book produces the first systematic study of Japan's new precarious labor movement. It details the movement's rise during Japan's post-bubble economic transformation and highlights the different and innovative forms of dissent that mark the end of the country's famously non-confrontational industrial relations. In doing so, moreover, the book shows how this new pattern of industrial and social tension is reflected within the country's macroeconomic policymaking, resulting in a new policy dissensus that has consistently failed to offer policy reforms that would produce a return to economic growth. As a result, the book argues that the Japanese model of capitalism has therefore become increasingly disorganized.

Full text

Abstract:

The Queen and the bat had been talking a good deal that afternoon...' The Victorian fascination with fairyland vivified the literature of the period, and led to some of the most imaginative fairy tales ever written. They offer the shortest path to the age's dreams, desires, and wishes. Authors central to the nineteenth-century canon such as W. M. Thackeray, Oscar Wilde, Ford Madox Ford, and Rudyard Kipling wrote fairy tales, and authors primarily famous for their work in the genre include George MacDonald, Juliana Ewing, Mary De Morgan, and Andrew Lang. This anthology brings together fourteen of the best stories, by these and other outstanding practitioners, to show the vibrancy and variety of the form and its abilities to reflect our deepest concerns. In tales of whimsy and romance, witty satire and uncanny mystery, love, suffering, family and the travails of identity are imaginatively explored. Michael Newton's introduction and notes provide illuminating contextual and biographical information about the authors and the development of the literary fairy tale. A selection of original illustrations is also included.

Full text

Abstract:

To trace the history of the concept of equality in political philosophy is to explore the answers that have been given to the questions of what equality demands, and whether it is a desirable goal. Considerations of unjust inequality appear in numerous different spheres, such as citizenship, sexual equality, racial equality, and even equality between human beings and members of other species. Ancient Greek political philosophy, despite Aristotle's famous conceptual analysis of equality, is generally hostile towards the idea of social and economic equality. Plato's account of the best and most just form of the state in the Republic is a society of very clear social, political, and economic hierarchy. It is with Thomas Hobbes that the idea of equality is put to work. This article explores equality as an issue of distributive justice; equality in the history of political philosophy; equality in contemporary political philosophy; the views of Ronald Dworkin, Karl Marx, and David Hume; equality of welfare; equality, priority, and sufficiency; Amartya Sen's capability theory; and luck egalitarianism.
