India’s Nonviolent Freedom Struggle The Thomas Christians (1599–1799)

Third the book considers how an account of a nonviolent struggle by Thomas Christians further complicates received ideas of the postcolonial nation. The book sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of the Thomas Christians in India’s nonviolent freedom struggle and challenges readers to reimagine the complex and often contentious relationship between colonizers and colonized. A unique contribution to the study of Indian history this book is an essential read for scholars of colonialism anticolonial movements and the history of India. | India’s Nonviolent Freedom Struggle The Thomas Christians (1599–1799)

Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

As it entered the 1960s American institutional psychiatry was thriving with a high percentage of medical students choosing the field. But after Thomas S. Szasz published his masterwork in 1961 The Myth of Mental Illness the psychiatric world was thrown into chaos. Szasz enlightened the world about what he called the “myth of mental illness. ” His point was not that no one is mentally ill or that people labeled as mentally ill do not exist. Instead he believed that diagnosing people as mentally ill was inconsistent with the rules governing pathology and the classification of disease. He asserted that the diagnosis of mental illness is a type of social control not medical science. The editors were uniquely close to Szasz and here they gather for the first time a group of their peers—experts on psychiatry psychology rhetoric and semiotics—to elucidate Szasz’s body of work. Thomas S. Szasz: The Man and His Ideas examines his work and legacy including new material on the man himself and the seeds he planted. They discuss Szasz’s impact on their thinking about the distinction between physical and mental illness addiction the insanity plea schizophrenia and implications for individual freedom and responsibility. This important volume offers insight into and understanding of a man whose ideas were far beyond his time. | Thomas S. Szasz The Man and His Ideas

Metapolitics From Wagner and the German Romantics to Hitler

Metapolitics From Wagner and the German Romantics to Hitler

More than half a century after the fall of the Third Reich Nazism its roots and its essential nature remain a central and unresolved enigma of the twentieth century. During the period of Hitler's ascendancy most attempts at explaining this unprecedented phenomenon were framed in economic often Marxist sociological terms and concepts. Peter Viereck's Metapolitics initially published in 1941 broke with this convention by indicting Hitler in terms of the Judaic-Christian ethical tradition and locating certain elements of the Nazi worldview in German romantic poetry music and social thought. Newly expanded Metapolitics remains a key work in the cultural interpretation of Nazism and totalitarianism and in the psychological interpretation of Hitler as a Wagnerite and failed artist. The term metapolitics a coinage from Richard Wagner's nationalist circle signifies an ideology resulting from five distinct strands: romanticism (embodied chiefly in the Wagnerian ethos) the pseudo-science of race Fuehrer worship vague economic socialism and the alleged supernatural and unconscious force of the Volk collectivity. Together those elements engendered an emphasis on irrationalism and hysteria and belief in a special German mission to direct the course of the world's history. Viereck analyzes nineteenth-century German thought's conflicting attitudes toward political procedures and social arrangements rooted in classical rational legalistic and Christian traditions. This edition includes an appreciation by Thomas Mann and an exchange with Jacques Barzun debating Viereck's criticism of German romanticism. Viereck's essays on the case of Albert Speer on Claus von Stauffenberg (the German officer who led the army conspiracy to assassinate Hitler) and on the poets Stefan George and Georg Heym appear here for the first time in book form. | Metapolitics From Wagner and the German Romantics to Hitler

The Paradoxical Structure of Existence

The Paradoxical Structure of Existence

For metaphysicians who have imbibed the sober and inebriating teachings of Thomas Aquinas existence is an act the act which makes all things actually to be. As the act of existence makes things to be essence makes them to be what they are. Essence and the act of existence in other words are really distinct yet together they compose each of the things that are. Such an understanding involves a number of paradoxes and Frederick D. Wilhelmsen's articulation of them reveals his philosophical genius. These paradoxes include the fact that the act of existence does not exist that it can be thought but not conceived by the mind and that truths about God can be known while He himself remains absolutely unknown. Wilhelmsen argues the notion that the Christian faith and philosophical reason harmonize while remaining completely distinct from each other. Writing in a captivating style Wilhelmsen begins with a discussion of the development strengths and limitations of the ancient Greek philosophical accounts of being. Following that he develops such key topics as the problem of existence St. Thomas Aquinas' understanding of being critical analyses of Hegel's and Heidegger's doctrines of being existence as towards God and a metaphysical approach to the human person. The final two chapters develop the sense in which metaphysical thinking is and is not shaped by historical and social factors. | The Paradoxical Structure of Existence

Mobility and Identity in US Genre Painting Painting at the Threshold

Mobility and Identity in US Genre Painting Painting at the Threshold

This book examines the portrayal of themes of boundary crossing itinerancy relocation and displacement in US genre paintings during the second half of the long nineteenth century (c. 1860–1910). Through four diachronic case studies the book reveals how the high-stakes politics of mobility and identity during this period informed the production and reception of works of art by Eastman Johnson (1824–1906) Enoch Wood Perry Jr. (1831–1915) Thomas Hovenden (1840–95) and John Sloan (1871–1951). It also complicates art history’s canonical understandings of genre painting as a category that seeks to reinforce social hierarchies and emphasize more rooted connections to place by instead privileging portrayals of social flux and geographic instability. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history literature American studies and cultural geography. | Mobility and Identity in US Genre Painting Painting at the Threshold

Foreignness and Selfhood Sino-British Encounters in English Literature of the Eighteenth Century

In inviting a rethinking of ideas of foreignness and selfhood this book explores Sino-British encounters in eighteenth-century English literature providing detailed critical and literary analysis of individual texts pertaining to China from this period. The author provides a synthesis of approaches to China in eighteenth-century English literature involving fictional writing related to China adaptations of Chinese source texts and translations of Chinese literary works. By discussing various writings about tea and tea-drinking Arthur Murphy’s The Orphan of China (1759) Oliver Goldsmith’s The Citizen of the World (1760–62) and Thomas Percy’s Hau Kiou Choaan (1761) she highlights the significance of reading these texts not simply as documents of a historical kind but as texts that are worthy of literary and artistic attention on the basis of their rich variety in genre style and themes.

The Modern Guise of the Good

The Modern Guise of the Good

This book is the first-ever collection dedicated to the guise of the good in early modern and later Western philosophy. It spans three centuries from Thomas Hobbes to Henry Sidgwick and features original contributions by some of the finest scholars. One of the staple items of Western philosophy is the idea that we can only desire or pursue something under the guise of the good: if we see nothing good about it we cannot want it. After enjoying its heydays in ancient and medieval philosophy this idea nowadays labelled “the guise of the good” might seem at first glance to recede into relative obscurity in the early modern and later periods. The contributions to this volume prove that this is not so. Each of the eight chapters shows how the guise of the good was understood revised sometimes defended sometimes attacked by philosophers such as Hobbes Spinoza Locke Leibniz Hume Kant J. S. Mill and Sidgwick. In some cases the volume features the first-ever dedicated treatment of an author’s take on the guise of the good. In other cases it offers exciting new perspectives on ongoing scholarly debates. Given the recent resurgence of interest in the guise of the good as a topic of contemporary discussion The Modern Guise of the Good will appeal not only to historians of philosophy but also to philosophers working at the intersection of ethics and philosophy of mind and action. This book was originally published as a special issue of Philosophical Explorations.

Boss Tweed The Story of a Grim Generation

Boss Tweed The Story of a Grim Generation

No political scandal in American history has had a greater impact on America's political consciousness than the rise and fall of the Tweed Ring in New York City between 1866 and 1871. In an age ripe with scandal both public and private the spectacular corruption charged to Boss Tweed and his associates-estimates of their extortion range from $20 million to $200 million-became an enduring symbol of the dark side of democratic politics. The Tweed Ring contributed much more than cartoonist impressions; it helped to shape a powerful theory of political reform. It was in truth one of the formative events of progressivism that multifaceted doctrine that has evolved into the modern American creed. In this sense the Tweed Ring was to produce not only deep misgivings about the existing regime but an insight into how it should be reformed. Denis Tilden Lynch's biography of Boss Tweed was first published in 1927 in a time filled like Tweed's with sudden prosperity daunting problems and spectacular scandals. It is a straight-forward workmanlike study untroubled by the conceits of modern historical scholarship and close enough to its subject's generation to have some of the immediacy of journalism. Of all the books published about the Tweed affair Lynch's study is the only one that is a genuine biography in which the man himself is the focus. For this reason it conveys something of the texture of daily life in New York in the nineteenth century while bringing Tweed out from behind the shadows of Thomas Nast's leering cartoons and presenting him as much as is possible as a man and not an icon. An interesting example of Americana this volume will be of interest to historians of the period as well as those interested in American urban and political life. | Boss Tweed The Story of a Grim Generation

Law Migration and Human Mobility Mobile Law

Law Migration and Human Mobility Mobile Law

This book analyses the multifaceted ways law operates in the context of human mobility as well as the ways in which human mobility affects law. Migration law is conventionally understood as a tool to regulate human movement across borders and to define the rights and limits related to this movement. But drawing upon the emergence and development of the discipline of mobility studies this book pushes the idea of migration law towards a more general concept of mobility that encompass the various processes effects and consequences of movement in a globalized world. In this respect the book pursues a shift in perspective on how law is understood. Drawing on the concepts of ‘kinology’ and ‘kinopolitics’ developed by Thomas Nail as well as ‘mobility justice’ developed by Mimi Sheller the book considers movement and motion as a constructive force behind political and social systems; and hence stability that needs to be explained and justified. Tracing the processes through which static forms such as state citizenship or border are constructed and how they partake in production of differential mobility the book challenges the conventional understanding of migration law. More specifically and in revealing its contingent and unstable nature the book reveals how human mobility is itself constitutive of law. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to those working in the areas of migration and refugee law citizenship studies mobility studies legal theory and sociolegal studies.

Behaviorism

Behaviorism

Watson was the father of behaviorism. His now-revered lectures on the subject defined behaviorism as a natural science that takes the whole field of human adjustment as its own. It is the business of behaviorist psychology to predict and control human activity. The field has as its aim to be able given the stimulus to predict the response or seeing the reaction to know the stimulus that produced it. Watson argued that psychology is as good as its observations: what the organism does or says in the general environment. Watson identified laws of learning including frequency and recency. Kimble makes it perfectly clear that Watson's behaviorism while deeply indebted to Ivan Pavlov went beyond the Russian master in his treatment of cognition language and emotion. It becomes clear that Behaviorism is anything but the reductionist caricature it is often made out to be in the critical literature. For that reason alone the work merits a wide reading. Behaviorism as was typical of the psychology of the time offered a wide array of applications all of which can be said to fall on the enlightened side of the ledger. At a time of mixed messages Watson argued against child beating and abuse for patterns of enlightened techniques of factory management and for curing the sick and isolating the small cadre of criminals not subject to correction. And anticipating Thomas Szasz he argued against a doctrine of strictly mental diseases and for a close scrutiny of behavioral illness and disturbances. Kimble's brilliant introduction to Watson ends with a challenge to subjectivism to provide evidence that Watson's behaviorism cannot explain human actions without introspective notions of the mind. This genuine classic of social science hi our century remains relevant not just for the conduct of psychological research but for studies in the philosophy of science and the sociology of knowledge.
