Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

Scholars have tended to portray T. H. Huxley John Tyndall and their allies as the dominant cultural authority in the second half of the 19th century. Defenders of Darwin and his theory of evolution these men of science are often seen as a potent force for the secularization of British intellectual and social life. In this collection of essays Bernard Lightman argues that historians have exaggerated the power of scientific naturalism to undermine the role of religion in middle and late-Victorian Britain. The essays deal with the evolutionary naturalists especially the biologist Thomas Henry Huxley the physicist John Tyndall and the philosopher of evolution Herbert Spencer. But they look also at those who criticized this influential group of elite intellectuals including aristocratic spokesman A. J Balfour the novelist Samuel Butler and the popularizer of science Frank Buckland. Focusing on the theme of the limitations of the cultural power of evolutionary naturalism the volume points to the enduring strength of religion in Britain in the latter half of the 19th century. | Evolutionary Naturalism in Victorian Britain The 'Darwinians' and their Critics

The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879–1930 From Frege to Ramsey

The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879–1930 From Frege to Ramsey

In this book Michael Potter offers a fresh and compelling portrait of the birth of modern analytic philosophy viewed through the lens of a detailed study of the work of the four philosophers who contributed most to shaping it: Gottlob Frege Bertrand Russell Ludwig Wittgenstein and Frank Ramsey. It covers the remarkable period of discovery that began with the publication of Frege's Begriffsschrift in 1879 and ended with Ramsey's death in 1930. Potter—one of the most influential scholars of this period in philosophy—presents a deep but accessible account of the break with absolute idealism and neo-Kantianism and the emergence of approaches that exploited the newly discovered methods in logic. Like his subjects Potter focusses principally on philosophical logic philosophy of mathematics and metaphysics but he also discusses epistemology meta-ethics and the philosophy of language. The book is an essential starting point for any student attempting to understand the work of Frege Russell Wittgenstein and Ramsey as well as their interactions and their larger intellectual milieux. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to cast light on current philosophical problems through a better understanding of their origins. | The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879–1930 From Frege to Ramsey

Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development in East Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union A Collection of Essays in Memory of Pr

Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development in East Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union A Collection of Essays in Memory of Pr

With the achievement of further EU and NATO enlargement a critical political and economic lens is now focused on East Central Europe and to a lesser extent the other former communist states. Economic growth in each transition state - and more broadly the region - pivots around the prospects for foreign direct investment (FDI) with decisions on where foreign investors will locate their projects now vitally important. This book - the first one devoted to a geographical survey concentrating specifically on FDI in the region - brings together a wide range of prominent authors from the US and Europe including the late Frank Carter to provide a timely and critical examination of the importance of foreign investment. It presents a detailed analysis of location patterns and their significance for regional development with particular emphasis given to the important socioeconomic and political consequences of uneven distribution of FDI across the region and its constituent countries. Divided into two parts the book first deals with general overarching themes and issues before applying these to more specific country case studies. The second part deals with regional studies focusing broadly on the Western Balkans and Bulgaria before looking at specific economic sectors in individual countries. | Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Development in East Central Europe and the Former Soviet Union A Collection of Essays in Memory of Pr

Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Honor-based violence (HBV) is a crime committed to protect or defend the honor of a family and/or a community. It is usually triggered by the victim’s behavior which the family and/or community regards as causing offense or dishonor. HBV has existed for thousands of years but has only very recently become a focus of law enforcement policy makers and statutory and non-statutory agencies. A volume in the Advances in Police Theory and Practice Series Honor-Based Violence: Policing and Prevention is designed to assist all those who confront these crimes in understanding what HBV is how it can be recognized and how we can support the victims families and communities that experience it. Topics include: An overview of what is known about the psychological and cultural factors relevant to understanding of HBV Gaps in current knowledge and the strengths and weaknesses of various investigative and management strategies Factors related to risk assessment of HBV Best practices based on the authors’ experience for individuals involved in all levels of policing HBV—from first responders to those involved in strategic management How working in partnership with multiple agencies can reduce risk support investigations and help protect victims The importance of sensitivity toward differences in race culture and religion The research and best practices are drawn largely from the work done by the Violent Crime Directorate of the Metropolitan Police Service (London UK) managed by authors Gerry Campbell and Glen Lloyd. The accessible style of this text makes it a valuable resource for law enforcement and policing professionals who investigate these crimes and a suitable textbook for policing and criminal justice courses. | Honor-Based Violence Policing and Prevention

Imagination and the Imaginary

Imagination and the Imaginary

The concept of the imaginary is pervasive within contemporary thought yet can be a baffling and often controversial term. In Imagination and the Imaginary Kathleen Lennon explores the links between imagination - regarded as the faculty of creating images or forms - and the imaginary which links such imagery with affect or emotion and captures the significance which the world carries for us. Beginning with an examination of contrasting theories of imagination proposed by Hume and Kant Lennon argues that the imaginary is not something in opposition to the real but the very faculty through which the world is made real to us. She then turns to the vexed relationship between perception and imagination and drawing on Kant Merleau-Ponty and Sartre explores some fundamental questions such as whether there is a distinction between the perceived and the imagined; the relationship between imagination and creativity; and the role of the body in perception and imagination. Invoking also Spinoza and Coleridge Lennon argues that far from being a realm of illusion the imaginary world is our most direct mode of perception. She then explores the role the imaginary plays in the formation of the self and the social world. A unique feature of the volume is that it compares and contrasts a philosophical tradition of thinking about the imagination - running from Kant and Hume to Strawson and John McDowell - with the work of phenomenological psychoanalytic poststructuralist and feminist thinkers such as Merleau-Ponty Sartre Lacan Castoriadis Irigaray Gatens and Lloyd. This makes Imagination and the Imaginary essential reading for students and scholars working in phenomenology philosophy of perception social theory cultural studies and aesthetics.

Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

The idea behind this volume according to its editor Brian Lavery was to give a rounded picture of life at sea during the age of sail. It concentrates on the daily routine of shipboard life rather than more dramatic events such as battles and mutiny. It supplements other volumes produced by the Navy Records Society notably Five Naval Journals 1789-1817 (vol 91 1951 ed H G Thursfield) and The Health of Seamen (vol 107 1965 ed C C Lloyd. )The selection begins in the second quarter of the eighteenth century because stated Brian Lavery ‘there are no suitable documents from earlier periods’ and closes in 1815 when the navy entered a new era with the advent of steam and a long period of peace. One of the most important aspects of shipboard life was that it was intensely self-contained especially in the later part of the age of sail. After the conquest of scurvy ships were able to stay at sea for many months at a time and the world-wide battle for empire caused them to make very long voyages often away from their home bases over a period of years. Even in port seamen often stayed on board and shore leave was not in any sense a right. This volume throws a spotlight on the way in which a crew of up to 850 men could be crammed into a small space for many months at a time and the ways in which they were fed clothed allocated space for eating and sleeping at the same time as they were organised for sailing and battle duties. It contains separate sections dealing with Admiralty Regulations Captain’s Orders Medical Journals discipline and punishment. It also includes an extensive glossary of the nautical terms and descriptions of the time. | Shipboard Life and Organisation 1731-1815

Growing Through the Erotic Transference An Analysand's Journey

Growing Through the Erotic Transference An Analysand's Journey

The book offers an in-depth case study of the erotic transference experienced by a female analysand with her male analyst exploring how the shifting phases of erotic transference help the analysand to understand rediscover and redefine herself with transformative growth. The first half of the book tells the story of the analysis which is richly imbued with the erotic from the beginning. It describes the complexity of the relationship between analyst and analysand and how the patient is able to grow through experiencing analysing and progressing through the erotic transference. The second half of the book consists of five reflections highlighting relative blind spots in the current thinking on the erotic transference and countertransference. The author explores the dynamics of power potency and erotic turn-on between male analyst and female analysand and considers the implications for the erotic transference when the patient is a sexual abuse survivor. She also explores the nature of ‘transference love’ itself: whether it is ‘real love’ and how both members of the dyad can surrender to it enough to grow while not losing their bearings. The final reflection considers the role of the patient’s voice in the psychoanalytic literature and argues the need for more of such accounts to enrich our understanding of this vital area. Writing as the patient the author is able to share a remarkable frank and revealing glimpse into their personal experience of analysis making this book essential reading for psychoanalysts psychotherapists and anyone interested in understanding analysis in more depth. | Growing Through the Erotic Transference An Analysand's Journey

Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination

Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination

Jews and Muslims in the White Supremacist Conspiratorial Imagination explores how Jews and Muslims are stigmatized and endangered by the same conspiratorial template. Supremacists imagine that Jews and Muslims secretly strive to replace white European civilization with an unspeakable tyranny. The authors a Jew and a Muslim analyze the nature of the conspiracism that targets their communities. They historicize the supremacist conspiratorial imagination narrating the paranoia on a continuum from modernity to the postmodern. They begin with the texts of modernity following them through to the dark areas of the Internet and examining their violent denouement in synagogues and mosques. The book investigates the classic text The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and neoclassic variations such as QAnon. It turns to Islamophobic responses to 9/11 such as paranoia regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and the doppelgänger of The Protocols namely The Project. The authors conclude by questioning how ordinary people prompted by paranoia and recognition hunger resort to violence and murder. Admittedly the authors are not certain—certainty is for conspiracists. But they may have a piece of the puzzle. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of conspiracy theories antisemitism Judeophobia Islamophobia political science history philosophy psychology sociology and criminology.

The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

Paleoconservatism as a concept came into circulation during the 1980s as a rejoinder to the rise of neoconservatism. It signifies a brand of conservatism that rose up in opposition to the New Deal setting itself against the centralizing trends that define modern politics to champion the republican virtues of self-governance and celebrate the nation's varied and colorful regional cultures. This volume brings together key writings of the major representatives of Old Right thought past and present. The essays included here define a coherent intellectual tradition linking New York libertarians to unreconstructed Southern traditionalists to Midwestern agrarians. Part I is devoted to the founding fathers of the modern conservative movement. Essays by Frank Chodorov Murray Rothbard and James Burnham attack economic aspects of the New Deal big government in general and high taxes. Russell Kirk introduces the cultural paleoconservatism with its preference for social classes and distinctions of age and sex while Richard Weaver explains why culture is more important to a civilization's survival than mere material conditions. The second part covers the contemporary resurgence of the Old Right. Chilton Williamson Jr. sets out the argument against large-scale immigration on cultural and economic grounds. The divisive issue of trade is covered. William Hawkins outlines a mercantilist trade policy at odds with the free trade libertarianism of Chodorov and Rothbard. On education Allan Carlson goes further than the Beltway Right in his advocacy of home schooling. M. E. Bradford shows how the doctrine of equality of opportunity inevitably leads to greater and more tyrannical state action. The contemporary culture wars are the focus of Thomas Fleming Paul Gottfried Clyde Wilson and Samuel Francis who search for the roots of American nationalism the lessons to be drawn from the past and how they may be applied in the future. | The Paleoconservatives New Voices of the Old Right

Social Relations and the Cuban Health Miracle

Social Relations and the Cuban Health Miracle

For Cuba's supporters health is the most commonly cited evidence of the socialist system's success. Even critics often concede that this is the country's saving grace. Cuba's health statistics are indeed extraordinary. This small island outperforms virtually all of its neighboring countries and all countries of the same level of economic development. Some of its health statistics rival wealthy industrialized countries. Moreover these health outcomes have resulted against all odds. Setting out to unravel this puzzle the author finds that Cuba possesses an unusually high level of popular participation and cooperation in the implementation of health policy. This has been achieved with the help of a longstanding government that prioritizes public health and has enough political influence to compel the rest of the community to do the same. On the other hand popular participation in decision-making regarding health policy is minimal which contrasts with the image of popular participation often promoted. Political elites design and impose health policy allowing little room for other health sector groups to meaningfully contribute to or protest official decisions. This is a problem because aspects of health care that are important to those who use the system or work within it can be neglected if they do not fit within official priorities. The author remains overall supportive of health achievement in Cuba. The country's preventive arrangements its collective prioritization of key health areas the improvements in public access to health services through the expansion of health facilities and the provision of free universal care are among the accomplishments that set it apart. The sustainability and progress of these achievements however must involve open recognition and public discussion of weaker aspects of the health system. | Social Relations and the Cuban Health Miracle
