The University of Chicago Press A Global Enlightenment
Book SynopsisA revisionist history of the idea of progress reveals an unknown story about European engagement with Chinese science. The Enlightenment gave rise not only to new ideas of progress but consequential debates about them. Did distant times and places have anything to teach the here and now? Voltaire could believe that they did; Hegel was convinced that they did not. Early philosophes praised Chinese philosophy as an enduring model of reason. Later philosophes rejected it as stuck in the past. Seeking to vindicate ancient knowledge, a group of French statesmen and savants began a conversation with the last great scholar of the Jesuit mission to China. Together, they drew from Chinese learning to challenge the emerging concept of Western advancement. A Global Enlightenment traces this overlooked exchange between China and the West to make compelling claims about the history of progress, notions of European exceptionalism, and European engagement with Chinese science. To tell this stoTrade Review“A magnificent intellectual history of the late Enlightenment’s interest in Chinese knowledge traditions, revealing their central role in European debates over the meaning and value of ‘progress.’” * Los Angeles Review of Books *“Statman has written a marvelous, engaging, and brilliant book. He is uniquely poised to demonstrate the genuine exchanges between Chinese and Western scholars during this period. His in-depth familiarity with the network of former Jesuit missionaries proves invaluable as he traces with extreme precision intellectual connections between Paris and Beijing. Truly a paradigm-shifting book.” -- Dan Edelstein, Stanford University“This is a wonderful book about wonder—about the Europeans who mediated Chinese thought, history, and technology for their compatriots, and the categories they constructed to house the translated facts and concepts.” -- Haun Saussy, University of Chicago"This erudite and engaging study with its extensive use of archival sources, many of which are studied for the first time, is a welcome addition to the literature on the history of science, the Enlightenment, and Jesuit missionaries in China." * H-France Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction One. The Death of Voltaire’s Confucius Two. The Ex-Jesuit Mission in China Three. The Origins of Esotericism Four. The Yin-Yang Theory of Animal Magnetism Five.

University of Notre Dame Press Making a Modern Political Order
Book SynopsisSheehan's thoughtful book makes a convincing case that the modern political order arises out of people's shared expectations and hopes, without which the nation state could not exist.Every political order depends on a set of shared expectations about how the order does and should work. In Making a Modern Political Order, James Sheehan provides a sophisticated analysis of these expectations and shows how they are a source of both cohesion and conflict in the modern society of nation states. The author divides these expectations into three groups: first, expectations about the definition and character of political space, which in the modern era are connected to the emergence of a new kind of state; second, expectations about the nature of political communities (that is, about how people relate to one another and to their governments); and finally, expectations about the international system (namely, how states interact in a society of nation states). Although SheeTrade Review“In a time when scholars regularly call for big-picture histories that tackle global themes, this is the rare book that actually accomplishes that goal.” —Alexander M. Martin, author of Enlightened Metropolis“This is a wonderful book. Sheehan is a gifted historian, the subject perennially important, large themes clearly announced and pursued, an impressive range of secondary materials adroitly deployed, the writing unobtrusive yet graceful.” —Nicholas Greenwood Onuf, author of The Mightie Frame"Sheehan's conclusions capture the balance of change and continuity in human experience." —Law & Liberty“This fine book manages to cover more ground in its short span than do many books two or three times its length. Students at many levels, from the undergraduate to the postdoctoral, will learn much from it.” —Perspectives on Political ScienceTable of ContentsIllustrations Acknowledgements Introduction: “Horizons of Expectation” 1. The Ancien Regime 2. Making States Modern 3. Nations 4. A Society of Nation States Conclusion: Beyond the Horizon Bibliography

Cornell University Press The Politics of Emotion
Book SynopsisThe Politics of Emotion explores the intersection of powerful emotional stateslove, melancholy, grief, and madnesswith gender and political power on the Iberian Peninsula from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. Using an array of sourcesliterary texts, medical treatises, and archival documentsNuria Silleras-Fernandez focuses on three royal women: Isabel of Portugal (14281496), queen-consort of Castile; Isabel of Aragon (14701498), queen-consort of Portugal; and Juana of Castile (14791555), queen of Castile and its empire. Each of these women was perceived by their contemporaries as having gone mad as a result of excessive grief, and all three were related to Isabel the Catholic (14511504), queen of Castile and a woman lauded in her time as a paragon of reason.Through the lives and experiences of these royal women and the observations, judgments, and machinations of their families, entourages, and circles of writers, chronicles, courtiers, moralist

University of Notre Dame Press Four Hasidic Masters and Their Struggle against
Book SynopsisTrade Review“As always, Wiesel’s characters are infused with the breath of life: these extraordinary men are fully human, whether reeling in spiritual ecstasy or pondering their existential melancholy, the loneliness that accompanies vision and greatness. . . . These tales make inspiring and fascinating reading for all.” —Library Journal (review of previous edition)“Wiesel’s theme is that four great masters, Pinhas of Koretz, Barukh of Medzebozh, the Seer of Lublin, and Naphtali of Ropshitz, were each a source of inspiration for others, communicating joy and fervour, but were themselves locked in struggles with melancholy and often fear. Through their legends and writings, Wiesel sees them fighting off their sorrow with exuberance, inundating their despair with an urgent commitment. Sometimes they fail. It is a delicate and worthwhile collection.” —A. Podet, European Judaism (review of previous edition)**“Drawing extensively on Jewish legend and tradition, Wiesel creates literature of lasting power and moral authority. . . . As Wiesel portrays each of these teachers, his book becomes a classic Hasidic tale about friendship and hope against overwhelming odds.” —John K. Roth, Thought: A Review of Culture and Idea (review of previous edition)“The delightful work, in the by now well-known manner of Elie Wiesel, continues his recounting of Hasidic tales begun in Souls on Fire. . . . On their own terms they are splendid.” —Choice (review of a previous edition)“For Wiesel, Hasidism is not a theology or a philosophy. It is not an abstract system of ideas or a conception of the Deity. It is a friendship and a concern for people and for God. Hasidism is the opposite of solitude. It is a sense of being bound up together with all other human beings in their joy and in their distress and of being bound up with God in his joy and in his distress.” ―Commonweal (review of a previous edition)"Another beautifully written and prepared work by one of the fine writers of our time." ―The Jewish Post and Opinion (review of a previous edition)“There is more help for the troubled in these stories than in many books programmed for self-help." ―Christian Century (review of a previous edition)“Elie Wiesel is one of the great writers of this generation.” ―New York Times Book Review (review of a previous edition)“Wiesel brings a journalist’s optimism to his studies of the Hasidic saints who set Eastern European Jewry alight in the 18th century with the faith that brought it through the last, worst centuries of persecution.” ―The Boston Globe (review of a previous edition)Table of ContentsForeword by Theodore M.

Cornell University Press The Color of Desire
Book SynopsisThe Color of Desire tells the story of how, in the aftermath of gay liberation, race played a crucial role in shaping the trajectory of queer, German politics. Focusing on the Federal Republic of Germany, Christopher Ewing charts both the entrenchment of racisms within white, queer scenes and the formation of new, antiracist movements that contested overlapping marginalizations. Far from being discrete political trajectories, racist and antiracist politics were closely connected, as activists worked across groups to develop their visions for queer politics. Ewing describes not only how AIDS workers, gay tourists, white lesbians, queer immigrants, and Black feminists were connected in unexpected ways but also how they developed contradictory concerns that comprised the full landscape of queer politics. Out of these connections, which often exceeded the bounds of the Federal Republic, arose new forms of queer fascism as well as their multiple, antiracist co
