Cambridge University Press The Sublime in Modern Philosophy
Book SynopsisA philosophical study of the sublime from the height of its popularity to its renewed importance as a form of appreciating and valuing nature.Trade Review'… an ambitious, erudite, and impressive study of the history of the aesthetic category of the sublime that makes a strong case for the ongoing relevance of the sublime as an important aesthetic category in environmental aesthetics. It should be read by anyone seriously interested in the connections between aesthetics, ethics and nature.' Sandra Shapshay, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews'For those interested in an in-depth examination of the sublime over an extended period of time, pairing this volume with Timothy Costelloe's edited The Sublime would provide a nice overarching analysis. Summing up: recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' Choice'Owing to the quality of its scholarship, Brady's book is sure to be a standard reference. Those looking for a trustworthy one-stop shop on the sublime as historically conceived need look no farther. [The] concluding chapter is a welcome and edifying contribution to the literature that seeks to keep the past firmly alive for the present.' Christopher Williams, Journal of the History of Philosophy'In this detailed, scholarly work Emily Brady seeks to renew the aesthetic concept of the sublime by clarifying its heritage and demonstrating its relevance to contemporary, environmental sensibilities.' Isis Brook, Environmental Values'The book is a considerable achievement and an important one for those working in aesthetics or environmental philosophy. There is great insight here about a significant aesthetic experience and the light it sheds on the human relation to nature. Those interested in the historical development of the notion of the sublime should also pay attention to this book. Brady has made her case that the sublime deserves a prominent place in contemporary aesthetics and environmental thought.' Ned Hettinger, Environmental Ethics JournalTable of ContentsPart I.

Cambridge University Press The Hunting of Leviathan Seventeenthcentury Reactions to the Materialism and Moral Philosophy of Thomas Hobbes
Book SynopsisThomas Hobbes 'the infamous author of Leviathan' is remembered chiefly for his political philosophy but his contemporaries were more concerned with the moral and materialistic views which formed the basis of his doctrines. He was a notable literary figure of his time, and his powerful and lucid style had its effect on all manner of arguments with his opponents. With Hobbes rationalism came into its own. Mintz, in examining these seventeenth-century reactions to Hobbes, sets him against his intellectual background and so gives an added dimension to his thought. Mintz succeeds in capturing the ideological excitement of the seventeenth-century critics and in reawakening the crucial issues which were at stake. His study has much to offer historians, philosophers and theologians, and anyone with a general interest in the man or his period.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. Hobbes' life; 2. Hobbes' system in retrospect; 3. The contemporary setting; 4. Materialism: general reactions; 5. Materialism: More, Cudworth and Glanvill; 6. The fre-will controversy: Bramhall and Cudworth; 7. Hobbes and libertinism; 8. Conclusion; Appendix; Bibliography; Index.

Cambridge University Press Problems of the Self Philosophical Papers 19561972
Book SynopsisThis is a volume of philosophical studies, centred on problems of personal identity and extending to related topics in the philosophy of mind and moral philosophy.Trade Review'This welcome volume contains fifteen papers by Bernard Williams, an especially stimulating and insightful philosopher … His papers usually are admirably clear, and always reward careful and sustained study.' Journal of Philosophy'To read only a few pages of [this excellent book] is to get a fine impression of the character, or flavour, of contemporary philosophy. A powerful feel for analogy allows various phenomena in turn (belief, desire, consistency) to be illuminated by considering both their resemblances to, and their differences from contiguous phenomena. There is an impatience with the trivial. And there is a constant sense, as in a Dutch landscape, of how the roads lead beyond the visible horizon. Added to this Williams exhibits on every page a mind of exceptional acuity. I doubt if anyone could read the reflections on immortality entitled 'The Makropulos Case' without a consciousness that his deepest beliefs and feelings were being engaged: engaged and adjusted under the influence of reason. In these pages an ancient promise of philosophy has been kept.' Richard Wollheim, The ListenerTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Personal identity and individuation; 2. Personal identity and bodily continuity; 3. Imagination and the self; 4. The self and the future; 5. Are persons bodies?; 6. The Makropulos case: reflections on the tedium of immortality; 7. Strawson on individuals; 8. Knowledge and meaning in the philosophy of mind; 9. Deciding to believe; 10. Imperative inference; 11. Ethical consistency; 12. Consistency and realism; 13. Morality and the emotions; 14. The idea of equality; 15. Egoism and altruism; Bibliography.
