Abstract:

Chapter 7 outlines the nature of Reformation anthropology as Gothic in the sense of being under the power of the usurper, Satan, and in seeing God as wrathful enemy before justification by faith. It examines Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus in relation to the Lutheran Faustbook, and as an example of a character who wishes to escape the ambiguities of election in favour of a settled reprobation. Calvinist double predestination is shown to produce a dualist subjectivity, and this is then explored in a series of Scottish Presbyterian Gothic fictions: James Hogg’s Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Si

After a brief discussion of Eugene Rimmel and Septimus Piesse, two major manufacturers and promoters of Victorian perfume, this chapter provides an overview of fragrance use for the Victorians, and explores attitudes towards perfume in early and mid-Victorian fiction with special reference to the figure of the scented dandy. The second part of this chapter shows how Victorian poetry reflects the influential perfumed legacy of Romanticism and, in particular, Shelley, a key precursor for many aesthetic and decadent writers, with an illustrative reading of Edmund Gosse’s ‘Perfume’, a sonnet satur

Chapter 7 continues the argument of chapter 6 into two central topics which constitute tests for the apparent movement among mid- and later seventeenth-century Anglicans away from an Augustinian theological framework.

Section II analyses his teaching, and shows that attempts to identify his doctrine with that of Socinian thinkers should be rejected. Section III analyses Herbert Thorndike’s discussion of Jansen’s teaching on liberty in the Augustinus. Thorndike adop

Abstract:

According to Chris Wickham, a culture of the public was the strongest inheritance of Rome, and it existed until c.1000. Even in the early medieval West, with its relatively weak states, the notion of a domain that was publicus remained a pervasive one; it was primarily associated with royal property, law courts, royal officials, and assemblies, both great and small (Wickham, The Inheritance of Rome, p. 562). I could not agree more, but I would also include bishops and abbots, episcopal synods, and royal monasteries. This contribution argues that in any conceptualization of public authority in

Letters were an essential means of communication for the Jews living under Islam in the Middle Ages. The traditional seats of Jewish learning were in Baghdad and Jerusalem, but their constituencies were scattered across the world. Letters frequently passed between Egypt and Palestine and Egypt and Iraq, as Jews sought halakhic knowledge, rulings, influence, and political advantage from their leaders, and dignitaries sought to govern their distant communities and ensure the continued flow of funding.

In this selection, José Gaos considers the perspectivism of his teacher, José Ortega y Gasset, who famously argued that “I am myself and my circumstance, and if I do not save my circumstance, I do not save myself.” For Gaos, and eventually for Samuel Ramos, this view provided the epistemological justification for a national or continental philosophy—“American philosophy”— insofar as it helped to explain how philosophy could be both universal (concerned with the universe) and circumstantial. Philosophy for Gaos is universal in that it is philosophy sín más (as such), which cannot but acquire a

Abstract:

In recent decades, ecological politics in the United States has been locked in a zero-sum conflict, with ecological goals pitted against economic ones. The result is that ecosystems and public health are increasingly at risk, needed transitions in energy and other systems are delayed, and opportunities for leveraging economic and ecological goals are unrealized. This matters, because economic growth is placing increasing pressures on local, regional, and global ecosystems and resources. Growing and compelling evidence of ecological limits raises not only critical threats to health and the natu

Eight letters from Gregory of Nazianzus, over two decades, provide our principal evidence for his relationship with Gregory of Nyssa, supplemented by an oration which the former addressed to the latter, and indications of their activities at the Council of Constantinople in 381. Though one of the better-attested relationships between major ecclesiastical authors, it has received little critical attention, no doubt because the tensions between each Gregory and Basil of Caesarea, overbearing friend to one and overbearing brother to the other, are more straightforwardly interesting.

Two discussions prepare for the argument that the Iliad poet and the Odyssey poet show their competence by producing similes that fall at different points on the spectrum of distribution. First, the consideration of a poet’s competence that emerges in archaic Greek hexameter poems encourages study of how the actual poet exhibits his competence. Second, the model of a spectrum of distribution interacts with current trends in Homeric studies, especially the research of John Miles Foley, Richard Martin, and Deborah Beck.

Abstract:

This chapter distinguishes between “vertical” and “horizontal” egalitarianism. The vertical and horizontal metaphors differentiate primarily between two types of relationship in which equality is said to play an important role—the “vertical” relationship between state and citizen, on the one hand, and the “horizontal” relationship between or among the people of a society, on the other. But the distinction may be used in a wider way to track several issues around which egalitarian theories tend to diverge: about what a commitment to equality ultimately means; about to whom or what egalitarian p

Abstract:

Over the past two millennia, one state has tended to lead as the foremost producer of energy and new technology. While it has not been fully recognized, these leads have become increasingly reliant on energy transitions that make new technological innovations relatively inexpensive. Since the edge of the incumbent system leader (the United States) appears to be eroding, the question is what might come next. As carbon-based fuels become scarcer and/or more damaging, new sources of energy will be needed. Renewable energy will be one of those sources, but it remains unclear whether a renewable re

Theorists generally see rights as inhabiting one or both of two realms: the legal or more broadly institutional and the moral realm. This chapter offers broad working accounts of these realms, comparing and contrasting their denizens. Both law and morality involve systems of rules, including deontic rules. Deontic legal or institutional rules as such are abstract objects from which nothing follows about what anyone ought to do. In short, as such, these rules are not normative. In contrast, deontic moral rules are normative. Consideration of the normativity of personal decisions suggests that t

Pindar capitalizes on his audiences’ familiarity with other lyric to an extent that has perhaps not yet been adequately recognized. His poems use related poetry to tell stories about themselves and their place in life. By examining different sorts of references and allusions across the corpus, one can discern a coherent view of the poetic world, both past and present.

Top–down combination problems provide challenges both to panpsychist and to panprotopsychist forms of Russellian monism. Responses to the palette problem and the structural mismatch problem are proposed. The third problem, subject irreducibility, is ar

This chapter criticizes two disagreement arguments for pessimism.

The second, inspired by Peter van Inwagen, asserts that disagreement in philosophy is of a certain special epistemological kind, viz., it rationally requires suspension of judgement, at least in many cases; hence progress is impossible. The existence of ‘epistemic peers’ as a condition of suspension of judgement is discussed. It is suggested that neither a

Arguments against the first and in favor of the second perspective are developed. The postulation of the language module as a central system appears to be immune to some of Fodor’s criticisms of central systems as holistic and dedicated to belief fixation. If the approa

A wave of theological and literary writings affirm the remarkable impact of the Joban trajectory of suffering in early modern culture. Shakespeare’s King Lear is no exception.

By sticking to the treetops at night kinkajous have very few potential predators, and this frees them from the need move in large groups for protection, as seen in most diurnal primates.
