The prestige of science and the power of technology have driven naturalism to prominence, even as deep questions mount on all sides. In this volume of all new essays, prominent philosophers consider a wide variety of challenges to naturalism, proposing improved defenses and novel developments in this influential worldview. Some essays question whether naturalism is a unified philosophy, and try to determine how one or another variety of naturalism has an advantage. Other essays defend naturalism’s approaches to religion, the mind, experience, morality, and society. To ensure that naturalism has a strong future, this volume’s authors are determined to help reformulate its principles for the 21st century. Among the contributors are Mario Bunge (McGill University), Paul Kurtz (Center for Inquiry and State University of New York at Buffalo), John Lachs (Vanderbilt University), Isaac Levi (Columbia University), Joseph Margolis (Temple University), Nicholas Rescher (University of Pittsburgh), John R.

In spite of the Enlightenment, science, and modernity, people in the East and West are immersed in and constantly weaving mythical narratives of home, identity, and hope. With clarity and learning, William Marderness has turned a labyrinthine, ancient subject into a book of delight and instruction.” —Ban Wang Professor of Chinese and Comparative Literature Stanford University Gender Identities in a Globalized World Edited by Ana Marta González and Victor Seidler 382 pp / PB / $38.98 / ISBN 978-1-59102-674-7 This cross-disciplinary collection of essays focuses on gender from multiple perspectives, touching on a variety of aspects that range from specific tendencies, such as fashion, to general trends connected to globalization, human dignity, and world migration. The volume differs from others published on gender as it focuses on the impact of globalization on gender identities, and examines the potential for global masculinities and feminisms, as well as the implications that these might have on the local level. The multidisciplinary approach allows for analysis of the topic from several different points of view and methodologies. This book is part of the Philosophy and Literary Theory series.

Harrelson 255 pp / HC / $39.98 / ISBN 978-1-59102-639-6 “This is an excellent book and the only one of its kind in English on one of the most enduring and fascinating arguments in the history of philosophy.... The book is impressive in its historical sweep, but even more noteworthy is the effort to place the ontological argument within the framework of each thinker’s philosophical project.... His lucid writing style makes for a lively and compelling read.” —Lawrence Nolan, Professor Marquette University Evolution and the Future of Religion Kenneth V. Kardong 320 pp / PB / $19.98 / ISBN 978-1-59102-682-2 In his unique analysis of religion, biologist Kenneth V. Kardong argues that, in a prescientific world, religion was an evolutionary necessity for human survival. Going beyond the recognized psychological comforts of religion as a remedy for emotional insecurity and anxiety, Kardong instead explores what survival advantages religion first conferred on those humans faithfully practicing a locally adaptive set of cults and customs. By focusing on religion’s survival advantages, he is then able to address why religion evolved in the first place and why it possesses some of the distinctive and occasionally troubling characteristics we see today. Beyond God This book is part of the JHP Books series. See other titles on page 7. The Remarkable Existentialists Michael Allen Fox 323 pp / PB / $28.98 / ISBN 978-1-59102-638-9 In this clear, concise guide to existentialism, philosopher Michael Allen Fox carefully defines existentialism, explains how it has evolved, and illuminates its relevance for today.

Science, Culture, and Free Spirits Jonathan R. Cohen 240 pp / PB / $36.98 / ISBN 978-1-59102-680-8 A Study of Nietzsche’s Human, All Too Human In this insightful study, Nietzsche specialist Jonathan R. Cohen argues that Human, All Too Human (1878) represents the crucial watershed for Nietzsche’s philosophical development, the moment at which he “becomes who he is.” Here Nietzsche breaks his early allegiance to Schopenhauer and Wagner by offering acute criticisms, which often are diametric reversals of his earlier writings. At the same time, he establishes the overall framework of his later philosophy as the overcoming of metaphysical barriers to the emergence of free spirits who will be the avant-garde of culture. His use of science to accomplish this goal gives this work a positivistic slant unique in his corpus. People Unlike Us Jeremy J. Millet 227 pp / HC / $34.98 / ISBN 978-1-59102-637-2 Combining philosophy, political theory, and the evidence of evolution, Millett argues that people today are very different from human beings of the distant past. Millett examines successive periods of human development—tribal, feudal, maritime, urban, and today’s emerging global society, showing in each case how distinctive human nature was in each time period. He concludes by projecting into the future, forecasting an age of “autonomous people” who have largely escaped the need for government and for whom cooperation is the norm. A work of great erudition and fascinating speculation, People Unlike Us raises profound questions about human nature and the future of our species. Democracy’s Debt M. Lane Bruner The Historical Tensions between Political and Economic Liberty 340 pp / HC / $32.98 / ISBN 978-1-59102-677-8 In this in-depth analysis, Professor of Communication M. Lane Bruner surveys the history of argumentation related to wealth and statecraft, and, more importantly, the actual economic and political practices in republican polities of the past to compare arguments to policies. The overriding goal of the study is to analyze which forms of governance have provided the most important guides for the reform of contemporary institutions in charge of global governance. Using illuminating historical analysis and compelling argumentation, Bruner addresses one of the most pressing issues of our generation: how the process of economic and political globalization should best be managed, and how we can create both a sound global economy while also protecting the rights and freedoms of the world’s citizens.

Young Claremont Graduate University Nietzsche and the “English” The Influence of British and American Thinking on His Philosophy Thomas H. Brobjer 474 pp / PB / $39.98 ISBN 978-1-59102-547-4 Friedrich Nietzsche—one of the most read and discussed philosophers of all time—is frequently regarded as a quintessentially German (and anti-British) philosopher. His relation to British-American thinking and culture has been largely ignored, although its focus on progress, rationality, empiricism, and science constituted a major tradition during the nineteenth century. This work explores Nietzsche’s explicit and implicit relation to this tradition, including utilitarianism, Darwinism, AngloAmerican scholarly and scientific work, literature, and culture in general.

Daniel In this set of previously unpublished essays, noted scholars from North America and Europe describe how the Irish philosopher George Berkeley (1684-1753) continues to inspire debates about his views on knowledge, reality, God, freedom, mathematics, and religion. Overall, the essays indicate that, for Berkeley, our apprehension of the world as real depends on recognizing how the world expressed by our ideas is not a mere aggregate of disconnected bodies but is rather an integrated unity of the things we experience. This provides an antidote against the loss of unity created by Descartes’ isolation of the self from “[Steiner] arrives at conclusions that enrich both our understanding of Descartes as well as moral philosophy in general. To his credit, Steiner’s approach to Descartes is not merely historical. Instead, he seeks to relate Descartes’s philosophy to a series of vital contemporary debates concerning modernity, secularism, and nihilism. Descartes as a Moral Thinker is one of the best books to have appeared on the French philosopher in years.” —Richard Wolin Distinguished Professor of History, Comparative Literature, and Political Science, The Graduate Center City, University of New York Philosophy and Theology in a Burlesque Mode Daniel C. Fouke 395 pp / HC / $65.98 ISBN 978-1-59102-324-1 Skepticism in Renaissance and Post-Renaissance Thought New Interpretations Edited by José R. Maia Neto and Richard H. Popkin 252 pp / HC / $59.98 ISBN 978-1-59102-156-8 This second volume in the Journal of the History of Philosophy book series is devoted to the resurgence of skepticism in the Renaissance and after. It contains eight original essays by historians of early modern philosophy from Europe and North and South America, with concluding remarks by Richard H. Popkin, who reviews fifty years of scholarship on the history of early modern skepticism and evaluates its present stage. The essays uncover new material relevant to the history of skepticism in the period and propose new interpretations of the nature, role, and influence of skepticism from Montaigne to Berkeley. John Toland and “The Way of Paradox” John Toland (1670–1722) was a controversial Irish-born British freethinker, satirist, and critic of traditional Christianity. Fouke traces Toland’s practices to Shaftesbury’s conception of a comic or “derisory” mode of philosophizing aimed at exposing pedantry, imposture, dogmatism, and folly. This important study adds new depth to our understanding of a neglected though influential British writer.

Heidegger in Question The Art of Existing Robert Bernasconi 289 pp (Index) / ISBN 978-1-57392-500-6 / PB / $39.98 “There is a sense that the questions addressed here—concerning ethics, politics, literature, and history—all belong to the same family of questions. Bernasconi worries over the concrete commitments of Heidegger’s text and thought, which he takes to be inseparable from Heidegger’s radicality.” —Research in Phenomenology Turning From Persuasion to Philosophy—A Reading of Homer’s Iliad Michael Naas 308 pp / ISBN 978-1-57392-363-7 / HC / $65.98 “Investigates both the positive and negative operations of persuasion in the Iliad. …The analysis is full of interesting insights.” —Choice The Split Scene of Reading Nietzsche/Derrida/Kafka/Bachman Sabine I. Gölz 300 pp (Bibliography, Index) / ISBN 978-1-57392-417-7 / HC / $80.98 This strong feminist critique of Derridean deconstruction focuses on the work of Austrian poet Ingeborg Bachmann (1926–1973). Long prominent in Europe, she is only just beginning to receive the critical attention she deserves in the United States. Gölz exposes the intrinsic “genderedness” of deconstruction. Taking the latter one step further than Derrida permits it to go, she shows that Bachmann inhabits the blind spot of Derridean deconstruction. This timely and innovative contribution to Bachmann studies is thus at the same time a significant and thought-provoking critique of Nietzsche, Kafka, and Derrida. Kierkegaard and the Art of Irony Roy Martinez 130 pp / ISBN 978-1-57392-909-7 / HC / $46.98 Martinez focuses on Kierkegaard’s use of pseudonyms, the chief expression of his ironical art. The role of pseudonymity is considered in connection with Kierkegaard’s critique of Augustine’s concept of faith, the Socratic concern with self-knowledge, Judge Wilhelm as a caricature of Socrates, Kierkegaard’s place in the hermeneutic project, his notion of “inward deepening,” and the ethical reality of other persons in relation to the single individual.

Poetics of Modernity Richard Kearney Toward a Hermeneutic Imagination 269 pp (Index) / ISBN 978-1-57392-610-2 / HC / $65.98 “Richard Kearney’s wide-ranging [book] brings together strands of modern thought and sensibility which are all-too-often held apart.” —Charles Taylor, McGill University (Montreal) Through a series of in-depth studies of thinkers such as Kierkegaard, Husserl, Heidegger, Levinas, Ricoeur, Derrida, and others, Kearney explores the ways in which Continental philosophy has endeavored to respond to the crisis of values (ethics) and the crisis of imagination (poetics). Among the topics discussed are the fragmentation of inherited concepts of truth, ideology versus utopia, myth versus critique, tradition versus reason, and modernity versus postmodernity. Kearney also considers these themes in connection with postmodern texts in literature, painting, and politics. Heidegger and Derrida on Philosophy and Metaphor Imperfect Thought Giuseppe Stellardi 272 pp / ISBN 978-1-57392-824-3 / PB / $35.98 An incisive examination of metaphor, the theory of philosophical discourse, and a close analysis of texts by Martin Heidegger and Jacques Derrida for what they reveal about both metaphor and philosophical discourse. Stellardi also includes a discussion of the fundamental debate on metaphor between Derrida and Paul Ricoeur and a detailed examination of philosophy as a “mode of discourse” among (and in relation to) others. The result is an idea of philosophy as essentially imperfect and self-destructive and yet indispensable in the economy of the modes of discourse.

Her overview of Husserl’s ethics is one of the clearest and most comprehensive to date.” —Thomas Nenon, PhD , Associate Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Professor of Philosophy, University of Memphis Before Ethics Adriaan Peperzak 125 pp (Notes, Index) / ISBN 978-1-57392-402-3 / HC / $54.98 Shows the way to a postmodern ethics—neither utilitarian nor deontological— by reflecting on its key concepts of freedom, value, intersubjectivity, obligation, responsibility, rights, ethos, history, and culture.

Heidegger’s philosophy has remained an enigma to many scholars who cannot read the original German texts. Miles Groth addresses this important issue by examining both the history of the first English translations of Heidegger’s works and Heidegger’s philosophy of translation.

What were the causes of the tragic disintegration of the former Yugoslavia and what is likely to happen next? Nenad Kecmanovic’, who witnessed and actively participated in many of the key events in Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, offers a perceptive, seasoned analysis of the many challenges that threaten political stability in this powder keg region of Eastern Europe. Both a professor of political science and a former politician who served in many high-ranking posts, Kecmanovi´c brings rich, first-hand knowledge—theoretical and practical—to his discussion of the many explanations proposed for the troubles in the former Yugoslavia.

Emphasizing the influence of anthropocentrism on attitudes toward animals, historian Nathaniel Wolloch traces the various ways in which animals were viewed. Wolloch devotes a chapter to six major themes, from early modern philosophical perspectives on animals till the end of the 17th-century, to depictions of animals in 17thcentury Dutch and Flemish painting. He concludes his broad, interdisciplinary study by linking these historical trends to the modern discussion of animal rights and ecological issues.

When it was revealed that the young couple would forsake the luxuries of their Manhattan mansion to live in a slum neighborhood in order to serve the poor, this was front-page news. Despite the major impact that Hunter’s work had in bringing about important social reforms of the Progressive Era, his contributions have been largely forgotten. With this accessible, well-written, and thoroughly researched account of his life and work, Hunter’s rightful place among social pioneers is now assured. The Millenniad George Vid Tomashevich 380 pp / PB / $38.98 ISBN 978-1-59102-495-8 Suffused with benevolent irony and, at times, sardonic humor, this long poem depicts our species’ struggle against early ignorance, fear and superstition, often institutionalized into powerful and controlling bodies seeking to monopolize the interpretation of the unknown. Divided thematically into twelve cantos, the poem touches upon ancient, medieval and modern philosophy in relation to concomitant developments in science and technology as they gradually reveal the nature of the universe, its material substance, as well as the problems of life, consciousness, and self-awareness. Millenniad is a massive, erudite, and thought-provoking effort worthy of serious reading and critical contemplation. The Exiled Government Rufino C.

Pabico credits Quezon’s government for effectively countering Japanese propaganda, showing how the efforts of a handful of men led to the failure of Japan’s Greater East Asia CoProsperity Sphere program in the Philippines. Finally, he clarifies the source of the financial support for the exiled government. 14 Humanity Books • (800) 421-0351 • Fax (716) 691-0137 selected backlist PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION Poststructuralism, Feminism, and Religion Triangulating Positions Carol Wayne White 181 pp / ISBN 978-1-57392-630-0 / HC / $55.98 White convincingly demonstrates that postmodernist continental and feminist philosophies—far from being antithetical to religious concerns—in fact enrich our understanding of religion and its relevance to debates about contemporary culture.
