Abstract:

Abstract What if giving offerings matters not because of beliefs about appeasing the gods or the powers of nature, but because it gives people a sense of relatedness with the world that inspires them to care for it? Practices dismissed as outmoded superstition may play a critical role in shaping people’s sense of what matters and how we should comport ourselves. Making toasts, giving gifts, and making offerings matter to contemporary Heathens, and these practices contribute to their sense of how they should relate with others, including ecological relations.

Full text

Abstract:

This text is the conclusion to Abelardo Villegas’s seminal work, La filosofía de lo mexicano, which does not dismiss the philosophy of lo mexicano outright. His conflict is with the method underscoring that philosophical project: historicism. Historicism, or the view that truth is dependent on history, offers Mexican philosophers an opportunity to articulate their philosophies as historical beings, thus contributing historical difference to the philosophical conversation. However, historicists face a fundamental “aporia,” as their project calls for defining an essentially historical being (the

Abstract:

This text is grounded in Barba’s lived experience as a dancer trained in Quito and Brussels. He begins by examining an instance in which a dance is said to look old-fashioned even though it has been recently created. When this judgment occurs across continental boundaries, Barba notes that from a Eurocentric and historicist perspective, working outside the parameters of the so-called centers for contemporary dance can be perceived as traveling back in time. This dismissal of a particular dance, or even of an entire dance tradition, as not really contemporary when identified from within the bor

Abstract:

This chapter contributes to scholarship that has suggested that a good deal of twentieth-century internationalism was faith-based, even if this remained tacit. It offers insights into religious attitudes underpinning twentieth-century internationalism and the formation of international legal concepts and institutions. It looks at how religiously framed matters and articles of faith were given a ‘secular’ reinterpretation during the early twentieth century, in the name of peace and a just international order, and offers an account of the political theology that this reconceptualization of ‘the

Abstract:

This chapter analyses what happens when the assumptions of the Condorcet Jury Theorem are not met. The first concern is about the existence of truths to be tracked in the political realm. We argue that there are many factual claims in politics that go beyond mere value judgements. The second concern is about agendas on which the correct answer is missing or there are multiple equally correct answers, a problem that cannot be fully dismissed but is limited in scope. The third concern is about strategic voting. We argue that these worries have been exaggerated, as strategic considerations are ty

Abstract:

This chapter gives the reader a snapshot of the socio-political context of late Mamluk Egyptian society in which al-Suyūṭī competed for authority. In an age of economic, political, and intellectual deterioration, al-Suyūṭī insists in a controversial legal opinion that the “true” scholar appointed to a position in an endowed institution is entitled to funding by virtue of his learning regardless of whether or not he fulfills the duties stipulated in the endowment deed. The dispute over how endowment funds should be distributed culminated in a crisis in which al-Suyūṭī was dismissed from his pos

Full text

Abstract:

Colonial documents demonstrate that the Incas thought about and described their origins in different ways: as the invention of a unique imperial ruling title, as the genealogy of royal households descended from previous rulers, and as the unification of many Cuzco area groups to create an imperial heartland. These distinct approaches to the spread of Inca power can be tested archaeologically in different ways, and several models can be dismissed using the material evidence. Archaeological surveys and excavations in the Cuzco region indicate an early growth of Inca power, with a period of expan

Abstract:

Insurgent Truth argues for the importance of outsider truth-telling to democratic politics and reads Chelsea Manning as an important contemporary outsider truth-teller. Outsider truth-tellers such as Manning tell or enact unsettling truths from a position of social illegibility. Often dismissed as in-credible by their societies, this book argues that their acts and writings reveal problems with dominant models of truth and truth-telling in politics, which often look to truth to offer a prepolitical stable common ground and align credibility with gendered, classed, and raced traits.

Abstract:

Science has transformed, if not solved, some metaphysical problems while posing new ones. Metaphysical ideas such as those of the ancient atomists have sometimes proved helpful in developing new scientific theories. But the widespread agreement on the empirically grounded progress achieved in science has often been contrasted with what seem to be abstruse and interminable disputes over metaphysical theses. Karl Popper sought to demarcate scientific from metaphysical and other claims by appealing to their empirical falsifiability, while Rudolf Carnap and other logical positivists dismissed meta

This chapter translates an address by Justo Sierra, in which he suggests that many of Mexico’s problems are problems with national education: “The University, then, will have sufficient power to coordinate the guiding principles of national character.” Like Antonio Caso, he believes that “[t]‌o cultivate wills in order to harvest egoists would be the bankruptcy of pedagogy.” For Sierra, one’s education should be grounded in or be attentive to national circumstances: “No, the University is not a person destined never to turn its eyes away from the telescope or microscope even if the nation is f

Abstract:

Nothing is not. Yet it seems that we invoke absences and nothings often in our philosophical explanations. Negative metaphysics is on the rise. It has been claimed that absences can be causes, there are negative properties, absences can be perceived, there are negative facts, and we can refer to and speak about nothing. Parmenides long ago ruled against such things. Here we consider how much of Parmenides’ view can survive. A soft Parmenidean methodology is adopted in which we aim to reject all supposed negative entities but are prepared to accept them, reluctantly, if they are indispensable a

This book explores the wide variation across states in convenience voting methods—absentee/mail voting, in-person early voting, same day registration—and provides new empirical analysis of the beneficial effects of these policies, not only in increasing voter turnout overall, but for disadvantaged groups. By measuring both convenience methods and implementation of the laws, the book improves on previous research. It draws generalizable conclusions about how these laws affect voter turnout by using population data from the fifty state voter files. Using individual vote histories, the design hel

It can feel good to use a disparaging name and dismiss a divergent belief or opinion but it turns people off from genuine engagement. At best, feelings are hurt and family and friends decide to avoid political discussions altogether. Often social groups break apart. How can deliberative democracy survive if we can’t even speak to people with whom we disagree? The conventional wisdom to avoid talking about politics has to change.

The murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by regime operatives shocked the international community and tarnished the reputation of the young, reformist Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman. This book situates the murder in the context of the duality of reform and repression and challenges common wisdom about the inevitability of the latter. The author dismisses defunct views about the inescapable ‘Oriental Despotism’ as the only pathway to genuine reform in the country. Focusing on the prince’s divisive domestic, social and economic reforms, the author argues that

Abstract:

Providing a new perspective on Lovecraft’s life and work, Horror as Racism in H.P. Lovecraft focuses on the overlap between the writer’s personal beliefs and the racist images and narratives in his speculative fiction. Building on recent debates about Lovecraft and drawing on the concept of “white fragility,” John Steadman argues that the writer’s fiction reflects his feelings of resentment and anger towards non-white persons and was used to advocate for his racist, xenophobic political beliefs - that western civilization was in decline and slavery was justifiable among “superior” civilization

This digital collection brings together aesthetic and political writing from across the non-European and postcolonial world. It includes writing from South East Asia, South Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It is the first collection to bring these texts together, and, in many cases, the first time that many of these writings have been considered properly as ‘philosophy’. The range of writings demonstrate that, over the last century, political and aesthetic thought owes its existence and vibrancy to the imaginations of anticolonial

There is much we can learn about conservation from native peoples, says Gene Anderson. While the advanced nations of the West have failed to control overfishing, deforestation, soil erosion, pollution, and a host of other environmental problems, many traditional peoples manage their natural resources quite successfully. And if some traditional peoples mismanage the environment--the irrational value some place on rhino horn, for instance, has left this species endangered--the fact remains that most have found ways to introduce sound ecological management into their daily lives.
