Abstract:

Men who did not stand trial in spring 1857 appeared at that year’s summer assizes. By then, the parish priest of Glenties had come to an arrangement with the authorities: the men would plead guilty to membership of the Ribbon Society, but be released on giving bail and taking the oath of allegiance. The priest’s long-remembered intervention in the case was part of an increasingly subtle and determined response by the diocese of Raphoe to the Mollies. That response included the appointment of a third curate to Ardara who immediately established a confraternity and commenced fundraising for a ch

Abstract:

Many writers have sought to ground epistemic normativity in the value of knowledge or truth, or else in the value of successful agency. Here it is proposed that epistemic norms derive their authority from the fact that it is good for us to subject ourselves to such norms by forming beliefs. And being subject to the relevant norms may be good for us whether or not conformity to those norms is good for us. In particular, beliefs serve our interest in being subject to the norms that govern our emotions. Unless I believe that Tom stole my bike, I can hope or fear that he did, but I cannot be pleas

Abstract:

This chapter examines Ray Bradbury's determined stance to go his own way and write stories to please himself despite the reluctance of slick magazines to publish them. Bradbury's early postwar success in the slicks came with short stories that were basically or with a few dark fantasies that the slicks were willing—very occasionally—to take a chance on. For example, Rita Smith at Mademoiselle had taken three Bradbury stories, but began to draw the line at stories about Mars. Throughout the late 1940s Bradbury's science fiction and dark fantasies were rejected by major market editors, deeming t

Abstract:

There are many cultural myths about serial killers, often propagated even by mental health professionals. Many assume there is a profile of a serial killer, that serial killers always go for the same victim type or always use the same MO, that they are more clever than ordinary people, and that they are inevitably charming and attractive. The truth is not as simple as that. There are different types of serial killers, and while there are many books that discuss the serial killer phenomenon especially in relationship to victim types or context, researchers have not yet been able to come up with

Abstract:

G. W. Leibniz’s Discourse on Metaphysics is viewed by many scholars as a milestone of his mature thought—his first attempt to systematize various stances. A lengthier, theological work, Examination of the Christian Religion, written a few months after, receives less press. While Leibniz’s intent for writing the theological piece may be left for speculation, Leibniz on God and Man in 1686 demonstrates that there is clear overlap between these two texts. Leibniz borrows from the metaphysics and physics of Discourse in his theology, and he writes that his metaphysical tract addresses “questions o

Abstract:

According to some Muslim theologians, God is not free to act; He is bound by human ethics. To be just, He must create an individual of perfect intellect and infallible morality. People are obligated to submit to this person; otherwise eternal damnation awaits them. While these claims may be interpreted as an affront to God’s power, an insult to human judgment and a justification for despotism, Shiʿi Muslims in the eleventh century eagerly adopted them in their attempts to forge a ‘rational’ religious discourse. They utilized everything from literary studies and political theory to natural phil

Abstract:

The chapter appraises science as an intellectual activity that is appropriately carried out on its own terms. Consequently, it is not appropriate to introduce references to God as a component part of a mathematical proof, nor of a system of forces in the natural world, nor of a sequence of impersonal processes in the biosphere. This does not mean that it is inappropriate to be thankful to God and to celebrate all these aspects of the world as gifts. They can be employed as opportunities to express appreciation through studying and understanding them better in their own right. Nevertheless, the

This chapter focuses on an allusion to the ritual of statue animation found in Proclus’ Commentary on the Timaeus. Through this ritual, statues were considered as being consecrated, ‘ensouled’ by deity, and thus rendered fit to communicate oracles. In the Commentary on the Timaeus, Proclus hints that the deity could appear in lesser or greater degrees. Those who obtained but a dim manifestation of the god, experienced only the secondary and tertiary powers of the deity, while those who encountered the god fully and clearly, were thought to participated in its creative activities.

Understanding reformational ethics may aid the psychiatrist towards a better relationship with the believing patient and equip him for engagement on issues of guilt, remorse, whether bein

Abstract:

This chapter examines John Locke's argument that consciousness is a sufficient condition of personal identity—that “consciousness [alone] makes personal identity.” What Locke's statement means is that unjust [P]-transfers are impossible—in which case one can't need to appeal to God to stop them. It seems that Locke's theory of personal identity rules out the possibility that there could be “fatal errors” of this sort. If so, he is inconsistent in thinking that such a fatal error is even possible (conceivable). The chapter considers [C]-transfer as a transfer of consciousness of an action from

Abstract:

We may think we know what defines religious fanaticism: violent action undertaken with dogmatic certainty. But the term “fanatic,” from the European Reformation to today, has never been a stable term. Then and now it has been reductively defined to justify state violence and to delegitimize alternative sources of authority. Unknowing Fanaticism rejects the simplified binary of fanatical religion and rational politics and turns to Renaissance literature to demonstrate that fanaticism was integral to how both modern politics and poetics developed, from the German Peasant Revolts of the 1520s to

Abstract:

This study examines James Herriot's five major books as carefully crafted volumes of autobiography based on the building block of the short story. In each of these works Herriot explores the fundamental choice of values underlying a happy and successful life. In his vision the bonds of affection and mutual dependence between all creatures, human and animal, form an enduring theme that lies at the heart of the choices he makes in his personal and professional life. This study will help the reader to understand the relationship between Herriot's stories and each book as a whole and to appreciate
