Arguing and Thinking - Michael Billig - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Arguing and Thinking - Michael Billig - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Michael Billig''s rhetorical approach has been key to the discursive turn in the social sciences. His witty and original book examines argumentation and its psychological importance in human conduct and traces the connections between ancient rhetorical ideas and modern social psychology. It also offers a novel approach to contemporary social psychological issues. Citing examples from a wide range of sources, Michael Billig illustrates the argumentative dimension in such phenomena as attitudes, roles, categorizations, etc., and, in so doing, he is able to stress the theoretical importance of rhetoric. He suggests that modern psychology has overlooked the study of arguments, and seeks to repair this gap by turning to the very earliest social psychologists -- the ancient theorists of rhetoric, Aristotle, Cicero and especially Protagoras. In a new Introduction, he offers further reflections on rhetoric and social psychology, discusses the scholarship which has emerged in response to the original publication of Arguing and thinking, and allows some forgotten voices in the history of rhetoric to be heard.

More Examples, Less Theory - Michael Billig - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

More Examples, Less Theory - Michael Billig - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In his new book, Michael Billig uses psychology''s past to argue that nowadays, when we write about the mind, we should use more examples and less theory. He provides a series of historical studies, analysing how key psychological writers used examples. Billig offers new insights about famous analysts of the mind, such as Locke, James, Freud, Tajfel and Lewin. He also champions unfairly forgotten figures, like the Earl of Shaftesbury and the eccentric Abraham Tucker. There is a cautionary chapter on Lacan, warning what can happen when examples are ignored. Marie Jahoda is praised as the ultimate example: a psychologist from the twentieth century with a social and rhetorical imagination fit for the twenty-first. More Examples, Less Theory is an easy-to-read book that will inform and entertain academics and their students. It will particularly appeal to those who enjoy the details of examples rather than the simplifications of big theory.

Reconsidering John Calvin - Randall C. Zachman - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Reconsidering John Calvin - Randall C. Zachman - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Randall C. Zachman places Calvin in conversation with theologians such as Pascal, Kierkegaard, Ezra the Scribe, Julian of Norwich and Karl Barth, and attends to themes in Calvin''s theology which are often overlooked. Zachman draws out Calvin''s use of astronomy and great concern to see ourselves in comparison to the immensity of the universe, acknowledging in wonder and awe our nothingness before God. Throughout, Zachman presents a Calvin who seeks a route out of self-deception to self-knowledge, though Kierkegaard shows that it is love, and not judgment, that most deeply reveals us to ourselves. The book discusses Calvin''s understanding of the election of the Jews and their relationship to God, and further reconsiders Calvin''s understanding of judgment and how the call to love our neighbour is undermined by the formation of alliances.

Calvin and the Christian Tradition - R. Ward Holder - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Calvin and the Christian Tradition - R. Ward Holder - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

John Calvin lived in a divided world when past certainties were crumbling. Calvin claimed that his thought was completely based upon scripture, but he was mistaken. At several points in his thought and his ministry, he set his own foundations upon tradition. His efforts to make sense of his culture and its religious life mirror issues that modern Western cultures face, and that have contributed to our present situation. In this book, R. Ward Holder offers new insights into Calvin''s successes and failures and suggests pathways for understanding some of the problems of contemporary Western culture such as the deep divergence about living in tradition, the modern capacity to agree on the foundations of thought, and even the roots of our deep political polarization. He traces Calvin''s own critical engagement with the tradition that had formed him and analyzes the inherent divisions in modern heritage that affect our ability to agree, not only religiously or politically, but also about truth. An epilogue comparing biblical interpretation with Constitutional interpretation is illustrative of contemporary issues and demonstrates how historical understanding can offer solutions to tensions in modern culture.

Calvin and the Resignification of the World - Michelle Chaplin Sanchez - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Calvin and the Resignification of the World - Michelle Chaplin Sanchez - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Calvin''s 1559 Institutes is one of the most important works of theology that emerged at a pivotal time in Europe''s history. As a movement, Calvinism has often been linked to the emerging features of modernity, especially to capitalism, rationalism, disenchantment, and the formation of the modern sovereign state. In this book, Michelle Sanchez argues that a closer reading of the 1559 Institutes recalls some of the tensions that marked Calvinism''s emergence among refugees, and ultimately opens new ways to understand the more complex ethical and political legacy of Calvinism. In conversation with theorists of practice and signification, she advocates for reading the Institutes as a pedagogical text that places the reader in the world as the domain in which to actively pursue the ''knowledge of God and ourselves'' through participatory uses of divine revelation. Through this lens, she reconceives Calvin''s understanding of sovereignty and how it works in relation to the embodied reader. Sanchez also critically examines Calvin''s teaching on providence and the incarnation in conversation with theorists of political theology and modernity who emphasize the importance of those very doctrines.

Augustine's Theology of Angels - Elizabeth Klein - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Augustine's Theology of Angels - Elizabeth Klein - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

References to the good angels in the works of Augustine are legion, and angels also play a central role in some of his major works, such as City of God and the opening of On the Trinity. Despite Augustine''s interest in angels, however, little scholarly work has appeared on the topic. In this book, Elizabeth Klein gives the first comprehensive account of Augustine''s theology of the angels and its importance for his thought more generally. Offering a close textual analysis of the reference to angels in Augustine''s corpus, the volume explores Augustine''s angelology in relationship with his understanding of creation, of community, of salvation history and of spiritual warfare. By examining Augustine''s angelology, we glimpse his understanding of time and eternity, as well as the meaning and perfection of created life. Klein''s book is foundational for a proper understanding of Augustine''s angelology and has far-reaching implications not only for Augustinian studies, but also the broader history of Christian angelology.

The first full-scale, one-volume survey of the demographic history of the United States has been fully updated here. From the arrival of humans in the Western Hemisphere to the current century, Klein analyses the basic demographic trends in the growth of the pre-conquest, colonial and national populations. From the origin and distribution of the Native Americans to late twentieth century changes in family structure, fertility and mortality, this updated edition incorporates recent research, including data from the 2010 census. In this definitive study, Klein explores regional patterns of fertility and mortality, trends in births, deaths and international and internal migrations, comparing them with contemporary European developments. The profound impact of historic declines in disease and mortality rates on the population structure of the late-twentieth century is explained, while the more recent urbanisation and rise of suburbia are examined within the context of new massive international migrations on North American society.

The Work of Politics - Steven Klein - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Work of Politics - Steven Klein - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Work of Politics advances a new understanding of how democratic social movements work with welfare institutions to challenge structures of domination. Klein develops a novel theory that depicts welfare institutions as “worldly mediators,” or sites of democratic world-making fostering political empowerment and participation within the context of capitalist economic forces. Drawing on the writings of Weber, Arendt, and Habermas, and historical episodes that range from the workers'' movement in Bismarck''s Germany to post-war Swedish feminism, this book challenges us to rethink the distribution of power in society, as well as the fundamental concerns of democratic theory. Ranging across political theory and intellectual history, The Work of Politics provides a vital contribution to contemporary thinking about the future of the welfare state.

Calvin's Christology - Stephen Edmondson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Calvin's Christology - Stephen Edmondson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Stephen Edmondson articulates a coherent Christology from Calvin''s commentaries and his Institutes. He argues that, through the medium of Scripture''s history, Calvin, the biblical humanist, renders a Christology that seeks to capture both the breadth of God''s multifaceted grace enacted in history, and the hearts of God''s people formed by history. What emerges is a picture of Christ as the Mediator of God''s covenant through his threefold office of priest, king and prophet. With Christ''s work as the pivot on which Calvin''s Christology turns, Christ''s person becomes the goal to which it drives: for Christ mediates our union with God only through union with himself. This is the first significant volume to explore Calvin''s Christology in several decades. It clarifies an important but perplexing subject in Calvin studies through its focus on Christ''s work in history and allows Calvin a voice in the current theological conversation about Christology.
