Fordham University Press Traditions Values and Humanitarian Action
Book SynopsisThis third volume in the pioneering series, International Humanitarian Affairs, goes beyond the practical to address fundamental questions at the heart of humanitarian actions. How do different religious, cultural, and social systemsand the values they supportshape humanitarian action? What are the bases of caring societies? Are there universal values for human well-being? International experts come face to face with the assumptions about human dignity and social justice that guide efforts to rescue and repair communities in crisis. The original essays explore mandates for humanitarian action in religious traditions, and codes of conduct for the media, military, medicine, and the academy in relief efforts. They explore threats to human welfare from terrorism and gender exploitation and assess international law, the media, and the politics of civil society in a world of war, conflict, and strife. The contributors: Kofi Annan, Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J., Rabbi HarlaTrade Review"...it is both insturctive and refreshing to find a volume in which academic analysis and less formal, though no less compelling reflection bring to light the human difficulties involved in responding to human tragedies." -Journal of Humanitarian Assistance "Traditions, Values, and Humanitarian Action is a satisfying collection of rich and varied perspectives, some new, some difficult to digest, and all feeding the need to understand the complexities of these issues in a rapidly changing world." -- -Lesley Morrison The Lancet

ME - Fordham University Press Aspects of Alterity
Book SynopsisTaking up the question of otherness that so fascinates contemporary continental philosophy, this book asks what it means for something or someone to be other than the self. It uses the philosophies of Emmanuel Levinas and Gabriel Marcel to provide the point of embarkation for understanding the two positions on this question.Trade Review"Contrasts the philosophical thought of Emmanuel Levinas and Gabriel Marcel in a study of what it means for something or someone to be other than the self." -The Chronicle of Higher Education "Treanor stages a dramatic joust between the ethical theories of Levinas and Marcel - the resulting adjudication is ingenious, timely and scrupulously just." -- -Richard Kearney Boston College "This important and thought-provoking work successfully reveals the relevance of the underappreciated Marcel for contemporary debates in ethics and the philosophy of religion." -Choice "Aspects of Alterity provides a nuanced and wonderfully lucid account of the problem of otherness. By way of a careful reading of Levinas, Marcel, and their inheritors, Treanor compellingly argues that an absolute other can issue no call nor even be understood as other. Instead, Treanor points us to a 'relative otherness,' one that is still truly other but with whom relations are actually possible." -- -Bruce Ellis Benson Wheaton College "Treanor's exposition of 'otherness' in Marcel and Levinas is lucid, thorough and provocative." -- -Brendan Sweetman Rockhurst University "In this provocative text, Treanor not only offers a fascinating exposition of the competitive and complementary heterologies of Emmanuel Levinas and Gabriel Marcel, but he also sounds out the echoes of their voices in the contemporary debate between absolute and relative alterity." -- -B. Keith Putt Samford University

Fordham University Press Clint Eastwood and Issues of American Masculinity
Book SynopsisA major feminist philosopher engages the work of the actor and director who has progressed from being the stereotypical man's man to pushing the boundaries of the very genres - the Western, the police thriller, the war or boxing movie - most associated with American masculinity.Trade Review"Drucilla Cornell is our leading ethical feminist philosopher who lays bare the moral core of our leading masculinist film director -- the genius named Clint Eastwood. To put it bluntly, this book is the best treatment we have of Eastwood's magisterial filmic corpus!" -- -Cornel West Princeton University "This is an ambitious, innovative project that seeks to bring together popular culture studies with political philosophy. Throughout there are many sparkling insights and provocative discussions that ramify far beyond Eastwood's work and invite a broader discussion of the ways in which gender might be thought in relation to democracy theory, law, and ethicality." -- -Sara Murphy New York University "An exciting read, in which Eastwood's work and his personal struggle come alive for us together with a rich layer of conceptual analysis that is equally vivid." -- -Jessica Benjamin author of Like Subjects, Love Objects: Essays on Recognition and Sexual Difference "Cornell's use of philosophy, literature, and cinematic theory makes this an intriguing (yet surprisingly accessible) work. Her weaving of plot summarization and critical analysis is elegant and seamless. Highly recommended." -Choice "Drucilla Cornell's powers of cultural analysis and critique are in rare form in this lucidly written and extraordinarily rich philosophical portrait of one of Hollywood's most brilliant and often controversial icon of masculinity. The work inspires reflection not only on the meaning of masculinity in the world of cinematic fantasy, a world with a troubled history of female and racial subordination premised both on its presence in American society and its cultivation and fomentation as imagined by directorial license, but also on struggles for humanistic portraits of human possibility in a clearly less than ideal world. It's a triumph in new critical theory and philosophical analysis of contemporary culture. Bravo!" -- -Lewis Ricardo Gordon Temple University "No doubt many fans of Eastwood's directorial work will find additional reasons to examine his methods thanks to Cornell's thoughtful, thorough analysis." -Feminist Review "An extremely important work, not mainly as a book of film criticism or cinematographic biography, but as a work of social commentary and ethical philosophy." -- -Karin van Marle University of Pretoria

Book SynopsisLoyalty to Loyalty: Josiah Royce and the Genuine Moral Life clarifies the nature of loyalty and its role in ethical living, employing the philosophy of Josiah Royce as a theoretical frame. Loyalty to Loyalty provides original and extensive analysis of Royce's philosophy of loyalty, including applications to contemporary moral problems.Trade Review"American philosophy's contributions to philosophical ethics rarely receive such an enthusiastic expositor as Foust, who has done an exemplary job with Harvard's Josiah Royce." -Choice "This book makes significant contributions to the ongoing scholarship on the work of Josiah Royce..." -- -Jacquelyn Ann K. Kegley California State University, Bakersfield "Foust offers not only a major contribution to Royce scholarship but also an important, original, and timely contribution to ethics generally." -- -Kenneth Stikkers Southern Illinois University

Fordham University Press The Perils of Uglytown Studies in Structural
Book SynopsisThe Perils of Uglytown develops a new concept, structural misanthropology, and traces its operation first in the dialogues of Plato and then in the work of humanists, playwrights, and painters of the Renaissance in Italy, England, and the Netherlands.Trade Review"The Perils of Uglytown is a distillation of Harry Berger, Jr.'s intensive study of the Republic and other Platonic dialogues over several decades and makes an important contribution to understanding these texts and to the literary interpretation of the dialogues generally. Its highly original, provocative, and stimulating close reading of well-chosen passages is grounded in Berger's understanding of the textuality of the Platonic dialogues." -- -Seth L. Schein University of California, Davis "Somewhere in his innermost closet Harry Berger, Jr., must harbor the secret of perennial freshness. For decades now his vitally important work has conferred the power to see with new eyes familiar works of literature, philosophy, and art, as if their innermost meanings were being glimpsed for the first time." -- -Dr. Stephen Greenblatt Harvard UniversityTable of Contents1.

Fordham University Press Levinas and the Night of Being A Guide to
Book SynopsisA close reading of Emmanuel Levinas’s masterpiece Totality and Infinity which leads to a rehabilitation of the Metaphysical question beyond its deconstructive critique during the XXth Century.Trade Review"Raoul Moati's Levinas and the Night of Being represents a turning point in Levinasian exegesis... Moati departs from the teleological illusion of reading Levinas's early works against the backdrop of the late material-as if the 'truth' of the former somehow lies hidden within the latter. Against this tendency, Moati rather simply takes up Totality and Infinity and reads it for itself... Moati recognizes the irreducible originality of a project from which we may garner certain insights that are to some extent lost with Otherwise Than Being." -- -from Jocelyn Benoist's ForewordTable of ContentsTranslator's Note Foreword: The Presence of the Infinite Preface: The Nocturnal Face of Being 1.

Fordham University Press Sodomscapes
Book SynopsisThis book presents a fresh understanding of the ethical legacy of the biblical figure of Lot’s wife. It draws on archives of Jewish and Christian thought as well as modern philosophical and literary treatments of the Sodom story to show how Lot’s wife’s fate harbors an ethics of reparative resilience.Trade Review"Lowell Gallagher's Sodomscapes is a stunningly learned and creative engagement with the ethics of looking back--looking back at a past littered with the calcified remains of those rendered mute by traditional Western Christian and philosophical morality and looking back at the other in a pose of vulnerable and creative welcome to a radically unknowable future. Attending to the figure of Lot's wife in a wide range of images, texts, and imagetexts from across the Jewish and Christian traditions and into secular modernity, Gallagher shows that Sodom was always about the double edge of hospitality. In the process Gallagher uncovers and creates a 'counter-memory of Lot's wife' in which homelessness and home, stranger and beloved, danger and hope stand in radical proximity." -- -Amy Hollywood Harvard Divinity SchoolTable of ContentsPreface: Entering Sodomscape Introduction: Figural Moorings of Hospitality in Sodomscape 1.

Fordham University Press Decreation and the Ethical Bind
Book SynopsisA close reading of Simone Weil’s philosophical and literary writings examining themes of ethical obligation, dispossession and vulnerability in relation to the works of Emmanuel Levinas, Maurice Blanchot and Judith Butler.Trade Review"Yoon Sook Cha gives us a careful and comprehensive reading of Simone Weil's texts, with all of their tensions, difficulties, and even contradictions. From this mix, she draws out something unexpected: an intelligible ethical argument, which she is able to situate in its place in continental philosophy. The work is a valuable contribution both to Weil studies and to ethical theory." -- -Karmen MacKendrick Le Moyne College "Cha's book is elegant and eloquent, guiding the reader to think with the author, and with Weil, in a tour of complex theoretical terrain that addresses some of the most profound philosophical questions: How are we to live? Who are we? How do we relate to each other? The book brings Weil into conversations in contemporary continental ethics and invites future scholars to take Weil seriously." -- -Vincent W. Lloyd Villanova University

Fordham University Press Disappointment
Book SynopsisDisappointment responds to recent calls to imaginatively and creatively theorize an otherwise by showing how collaboration between an anthropologist and a political movement of marginalized peoples â the anti-drug war movement â can disclose new possibilities for being and acting politically.Trade Review"It is an extremely rare occurrence for a book to come along that truly breaks open new possibilities for thinking. This is one of those books. In dialogue with philosophy, political theory, critical theory, and anthropology, Disappointment illuminates pathways for creatively thinking through the necessary intertwinings of ontology, ethics, and politics in an effort to critically diagnose and respond to "the overwhelming disappointment" that characterizes a world that is no longer bearable." -- -C. Jason Throop University of California, Los Angeles "A clear and powerful rethinking of the concept of the political grounded in the world of situations rather than the subject of enunciations, Disappointment announces the arrival of a major new figure in the ontological turn in anthropology." -- -Elizabeth Povinelli Columbia UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 - The Effective History of Rights 2 – Progress (Or, the repetition of differential sameness) 3 – Worlds and Situations 4 – An Ethics of Dwelling 5 – World-building and Attunement Epilogue – Critical Hermeneutics

University of Missouri Press A New Basis for Animal Ethics
Book SynopsisThe culmination of forty years of theorizing about the moral status of animals, this book explicates and justifies society's moral obligation to animals in terms of the commonsense metaphysics and ethics of Aristotle's concept of telos.Trade Review“Bernie Rollin is a philosopher whose head is most definitely not in the clouds. Instead, it’s on our farms and slaughter plants, in our testing laboratories, in our rodeo arenas, and on our hunting grounds—in short, all the places where humans use animals as they see fit. He’s given us a lucid, compelling blueprint for how to reimagine our relationship with animals, driven by a social ethic that is common to us all and filled with common sense. This is yet another important book from one of the pre-eminent impact players in the contemporary animal protection movement.”—Wayne Pacelle, president & CEO, The Humane Society of the United States“Possibly the most important book on animal welfare written to date. In exquisite chapter after chapter Rollin presents the philosophical background of what telos is, why it matters and demonstrates with stories, anecdotes, and data, why common sense is an important basis for understanding animals, their needs and their wants. Rollin has the ability to speak to each reader as if s/he is the only person he is talking to. He is a remarkable talent and brilliant teacher. A great read, a must read.”—Alan Goldberg, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health Founding Director Emeritus of the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing, Berman Institute of Bioethics“In his latest of many books, Bernard Rollin, philosopher and animal advocate extraordinaire, appeals to Aristotle's concept of telos to argue that we need to establish a strong link between commonsense morality and animal ethics. One does not have to be well-versed in philosophical thought nor jargon to understand Rollin's most important message, namely, that when we respect other animals for whom they are and for what they do when they are able to live as freely as possible as the evolved beings they are, we all will be more likely to work together to stop the horrific and brutal abuse to which billions of animals are intentionally and routinely subjected globally each and every day. Indeed, there is no other way to move forward in an increasingly human dominated world in the epoch called the anthropocene, the age of humanity, let’s hope that A New Basis for Animal Ethics is not his swan song.”—Marc Bekoff, University of Colorado; author of numerous books including Rewilding Our Hearts: Building Pathways of Compassion and Coexistence

CABI Publishing Livestock Ethics and Quality of Life
Book SynopsisThe science of animal production has recently become headline news. The cloning of sheep, the use of pig xenotransplants and bovine somatotrophin, as well as mad-cow disease, are all examples of how livestock production is related to food safety, human health, ethics and quality of life. The relationship between intensive developed-world animal production and third world development also raises ethical issues.

These essays develop theories of aging and acceptance, ethics in caregiving, and the role of ritual in healing the divide between the human and the ideal.Trade ReviewRather than affirm conceptions of the human, grounded in culture, biology or history, these writers move us to consider particular human beings in quotidian situations, struggling against defeat, caring for loved ones, resisting chaos, increasing their hold on life, while aware of the limits of what it is possible to know, do, say or lay claim to. As such, Rethinking the Human attests as much to the humanity of these scholars as it opens up new horizons for understanding the impasses and quandaries that characterize the human condition. -- Michael D. Jackson, Harvard Divinity SchoolThis remarkable set of essays encourages students of philosophy, anthropology, ethics, and religion to reconsider their understanding of human engagements in the world. Skirting both pat humanisms and fervid announcements of the post-human, the authors show how situations of aging, loss, ritual, caretaking, shared everyday life, and scholarly inquiry can produce moments of arresting insight or connection, in which people come to rethink what it means to be human in their own lives and the lives of others. -- Robert R. Desjarlais, Sarah Lawrence College

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Data Ethics of Power
Book SynopsisTrade Review’In this concise work, Hasselbalch outlines the ramifications of power with respect to data ethics and cultural data practices. Beginning with definitions of common terminology used in the field, Hasselbalch establishes common ground for readers and takes them through a breadth of power scenarios in various areas of data ethics practice. She explores the influence of power in realistic situations such as policy vacuums and surveillance society. Though a number of publications address data science ethics, what sets this work apart is the robust depth of knowledge the author brings to the topic; she moves beyond a descriptive approach to focus on the interactive relationship between power and data ethics. The text usefully identifies regional differences between the European Union and other areas of the world in light of the EU's stringent data-protections regime. Given the regional differences and international nature of many data science operations, this work is relevant to students worldwide. Hasselbalch offers a rich bibliography for extended study along with the usual backmatter. Undergraduate and graduate students studying computer science and related technologies will profit from reading the book. Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates.’ -- K J Whitehair, CHOICE‘Data Ethics of Power is an instant classic of technology law and policy. Its wise and topical policy recommendations stand on rigorous philosophical foundations. In Hasselbalch’s work, we are taken on a journey to the origins of ethics, to understand the critical importance of empowering institutions for wise governance of AI. As policymakers work to promote and channel AI, they should find much here to guide their deliberations. Deeply relevant to academics, practitioners, and anyone interested in the future development of advanced technology, Data Ethics of Power revitalizes the field of AI ethics.’ -- Frank Pasquale, Brooklyn Law School, US‘This book offers a unique and timely contribution to the fields of data and AI ethics by examining power structures in both the big data and the AI ethics space. Dr. Hasselbalch provides a paradigm shift in thinking about data ethics and power stating that data ethics is not only about power but also is power. Re-framing the discussion in this way uncovers novel solutions to the pressing problems created by big data and AI. This book is required reading for academics, industry leaders, and policy makers in the data and AI ethics space looking to address the future of data and AI in society on a global scale.’ -- Aimee van Wynsberghe, University of Bonn, Germany‘Data Ethics of Power by Gry Hasselbalch provides a deeply impactful approach to a subject typically bogged down by technical or political dogma by identifying the systems of power that create the highest levels of obfuscation around data. But it is in her revelation that open, unconditional love will provide the individual and communal willingness for genuine change that her words bring essential human healing regarding autonomous data ethics governance.’ -- John C. Havens, author of Heartificial Intelligence: Embracing our Humanity to Maximize Machines‘A recurring criticism of tech ethics is that ideas about responsible innovation are idealizations—aspirational wish lists too far removed from inequitable real-world power struggles. Gry Hasselbalch’s Data Ethics of Power: A Human Approach in the Big Data and AI Era provides a much-needed corrective. This masterful, interdisciplinary work makes a deep, human-centered case for conceptualizing and practicing data ethics as interrogating and negotiating infrastructures of power and their complex underlying cultural conditions.’ -- Evan Selinger, Rochester Institute of Technology, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface Introduction to Data Ethics of Power 1.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Expression and SelfKnowledge
Book SynopsisProvides a timely and original contribution to the debate surrounding privileged self-knowledge Contemporary epistemologists and philosophers of mind continue to find puzzling the nature and source of privileged self-knowledge: the ordinary and effortless first-person' knowledge we have of our own sensations, moods, emotions, beliefs, desires, and hopes. In Expression and Self-Knowledge, Dorit Bar-On and Crispin Wright articulate their joint dissatisfaction with extant accounts of self-knowledge and engage in a sustained and substantial critical debate over the merits of an expressivist approach to the topic. The authors incorporate cutting-edge research while defending their own alternatives to existing approaches to so-called first-person privilege'.
