Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Of Habit
Book SynopsisFelix Ravaisson's seminal philosophical essay, Of Habit, was first published in French in 1838. It traces the origins and development of habit and proposes the principle of habit as the foundation of human nature. This metaphysics of habit steers a path between materialism and idealism in one of the best and most sophisticated treatments of the topic. Ravaisson's work was pivotal in the development of European thought and has had a significant influence on such key thinkers such as Proust, Bergson, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, and Deleuze. This edition makes this important work available to an English-speaking audience for the first time. Clare Carlisle and Mark Sinclair provide a comprehensive introduction to Ravaisson's life, works, and enduring influence that clearly situates Ravaisson's text within the European philosophical tradition. The translation also includes a thorough commentary on the text that illuminates its arguments and its context.Trade Review'This bears a modest title: Of Habit. But the author sets forth in it a whole philosophy of nature. What is nature? How is one to imagine its inner workings? What does it conceal under the regular succession of cause and effect? ...Ravaisson seeks the solution of this very general problem in a very concrete intuition, the one that we have of our own condition when we contract a habit...These ideas, like many we owe to Ravaisson, have become classic.' Henri Bergson'This bilingual edition makes available for the first time in English a seminal text of 19th century thought. Admired by the likes of Bergson and Heidegger, Ravaisson's reflections on habit reveal a dexterous and subtle philosophical mind. The editors have done a splendid, professional job in putting this edition together with an adept translation and valuable editorial material including an Introduction and Commentary. The text can be highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of modern European philosophy. At the same time, anyone working in the philosophies of mind, time, and life will greatly profit from engaging with a key modern work of philosophy on habit that remains surprisingly fresh and pertinent.' Keith Ansell-Pearson, Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick, UK"This first English translation of French philosopher Ravaisson's essay, first published in 1838, begins with a lengthy introduction to Ravaisson's life, philosophy, and influence on later philosophers and writers. In the essay, included in French alongside the English translation, Ravaisson seeks to show that habit is not a simple, repetitive action but a phenomenon that is apparent in every living being. The more complex the living being, the more influence habit will have on its faculties. For example, in humans, habit is not only part of our natural tendencies but also part of our consciousness. Habits begin as conscious thoughts but slowly turn into involuntary actions. According to Ravaisson, by analyzing this connection through the phenomenon of habit, we are offered a glimpse into the nature of being. Following the essay, Carlisle (philosophy, Univ. of Liverpool; Kierkegaard's Philosophy of Becoming) and Sinclair (Heidegger, Aristotle and the Work of Art) offer thorough commentary examining each section of Ravaisson's essay and give a detailed account of the structure of his philosophical method. Highly recommended for academic libraries." - Scott Duimstra, Library Journal, February 15, 2009'By the end, Ravaisson has seamlessly carried his reader to a consideration of moral freedom, love, the good and God - revealing the eclectic school of "spiritualist" philosophy of which he was part ... it signals a natural theology that may interest contemporary theologians, too.' - Mark Vernon, Times Literary Supplement"Although it arrives long after its original's effects have been felt, this first English translation of Ravission's 1838 Of Habit is in some ways quite timely...Ravaisson reminds us that it is only through habit that freedom becomes more than an ephemeral moment and decisions gain purchase on action. As he emphasizes, habits are at once creative and limiting. They do not follow a single prescribed course but make temporary livable compromises of activity and passivity. Inasmuch as habit traverses all forms of life, such compromises characterize both human society and its intersection with the durations of nonhuman nature." -Kam Shapiro, Theory & Event, Vol. 12, 2009Table of ContentsIntroduction; Of Habit; Commentary on the text; Notes; Bibliography; Index.

Brill The Cambridge Connection in Tudor England: Humanism, Reform, Rhetoric, Politics
Book SynopsisThis book highlights the famous ‘Athenian tribe’: a group of humanist scholars in the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Elizabeth I, who resolved many difficult problems concerning the Tudor succession, diplomacy, and the English Church. They included Sir John Cheke as their early leader, and with him, Roger Ascham, Thomas Smith, and John Ponet. William Cecil, Lord Burghley, Queen Elizabeth’s invaluable chief minister, was the most influential of them all. The Cambridge Connection explores the interdependency of scholarship, politics, and religion in the sixteenth century. The ‘Athenian tribe’ was essential to the shaping of mid-Tudor cultural life. They left a lasting imprint on early modern England.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Susan Wabuda Abbreviations Notes on Contributors Introduction The Cambridge Connection in Tudor Politics, Religion and Learning Susan Wabuda and John F.

Princeton University Press Erasmus Man of Letters
Book SynopsisThe name Erasmus of Rotterdam conjures up a golden age of scholarly integrity and the disinterested pursuit of knowledge, when learning could command public admiration without the need for authorial self-promotion. Lisa Jardine, however, shows that Erasmus self-consciously created his own reputation as the central figure of the European intellectuaTrade Review"Erasmus, Man of Letters may inspire skepticism about Erasmus's alleged sincerity, but it is hard not to feel increased admiration for the energy and ingenuity with which the indefatigable scholar continued to combine so successful a publicity campaign with his countless other literary activities."--Alastair Hamilton, The Times Literary Supplement "Jardine's spirited study exploits the evidence of Erasmus's own statements about himself, direct and oblique, and the estimates of his situation in the great tradition that he influenced others to make... [Her portrait of Erasmus] is taken under a raking light, to show a master of the media [and] a master-builder of a textual persona, of an intellectual genealogy culminating in himself."--J. B. Trapp, London Review of Books "A contribution to the understanding of the modern age. Jardine vividly shows how reading-attentive, critical reading-became a form of 'spiritual education' in the early modern period, and how Erasmus became the pattern for the modern Man of Letters."--Tom D'Evelyn, BostoniaTable of ContentsList of Illustrations vii Preface to the New Paperback Edition ix Acknowledgments xiii Abbreviations xv INTRODUCTION Self-Portrait in Pen and Ink 3 CHAPTER ONE 'A better portrait of Erasmus will his writings show': Fashioning the Figure 27 CHAPTER TWO The In(de)scribable Aura of the Scholar-Saint in His Study: Erasmus's Life and Letters of Saint Jerome 55 CHAPTER THREE Inventing Rudolph Agricola: Recovery and Transmission of the De inventione dialectica 83 CHAPTER FOUR Recovered Manuscripts and Second Edition: Staging the Book with the Castigatores 99 CHAPTER FIVE Reasoning Abundantly: Erasmus, Agricola, and Copia 129 CHAPTER SIX Concentric Circles: Confected Correspondence and the Opus epistolarum Erasmi 147 CONCLUSION 'The name of Erasmus will never perish' 175 Appendices 191 Notes 207 Index 279

Johns Hopkins University Press The Scientific Spirit of American Humanism
Book SynopsisThe story of how prominent liberal intellectuals reshaped American religious and secular institutions to promote a more democratic, science-centered society. Winner of the Morris D. Forkosch Award for Best Book by the Center for InquiryRecent polls show that a quarter of Americans claim to have no religious affiliation, identifying instead as atheists, agnostics, or nothing in particular. A century ago, a small group of American intellectuals who dubbed themselves humanists tread this same path, turning to science as a major source of spiritual sustenance. In The Scientific Spirit of American Humanism, Stephen P. Weldon tells the fascinating story of this group as it developed over the twentieth century, following the fortunes of a few generations of radical ministers, academic philosophers, and prominent scientists who sought to replace traditional religion with a modern, liberal, scientific outlook. Weldon explores humanism through the networks of friendships and institutional relaTrade ReviewThis book is an important read. Weldon carefully describes the development of humanism—key characters, publications, and organizations, as well as the philosophical struggles . . . To gain a fuller understanding of 'the scientific spirit' that imbues the humanist movement, it is well worth it to read Stephen Weldon's book.—The Humanist MagazineThe volume under review, by Stephen Weldon, Professor of the History of Science at the University of Oklahoma, has published a fascinating tale of how prominent liberal Protestant intellectuals...developed and supported, wittingly or unwittingly, the rise of secular humanism.—James C.

University of Toronto Press Emery Bigot
Book SynopsisEmery Bigot's life spans the most brilliant years of seventeenth-century France. He left some six hundred letters addressed to the four corners of literary Europe; among his correspondents, acquaintances, and friends were men of the stature of Jean Chapelain, Nicolaus Heinsius, Charles du Cange, Richard Simon, John Milton, and Gilles Ménage. He travelled widely and was for some forty years at the very centre pf a firmly established, smoothly functioning network of mutual assistance and scholarly information that linked the countries of western Europe. From Uppsala to Venice, from Vienna to Oxford, Leiden, London: a network which quite naturally considered Paris its centre, and whose members represented every interest, very segment of intellectual society. Bigot was also the creator of what was perhaps the most important private library of his era. Yet today he is almost unknown, and his correspondence, scattered widely, has not been examined thoroughly since his death.This de

Emerald Publishing Limited Digital Humanism: A Philosophy for 21st Century
Book SynopsisOur contemporary global digital society is not always a good place to live. Authoritarianism, hatred, false news, post-truth culture, the COVID-19 anti-vaccination movement, COVID-19 conspiracy theories, and political polarisation are organised via the Internet. The public sphere is highly polarised. Today, many humans tend to think of other humans mainly in terms of friends and enemies. Robots and Artificial Intelligence-based automation have created new challenges for the world of work. Decades of neoliberalism have increased inequalities. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the vulnerability of humanity to viruses and health crises. Humanity and society are in a major crisis and digitalisation mediates this crisis. Digital Humanism explores how Humanism can help us to critically understand how digital technologies shape society and humanity, providing an introduction to Humanism in the digital age. Fuchs introduces the approach of Digital Humanism and outlines foundations of a Radical Digital Humanism, analysing what decolonisation of academia and the study of the digital, media and communication means; what the roles are of robots, automation, and Artificial Intelligence in digital capitalism, and how the communication of death and dying has been mediated by digital technologies, capitalist necropower, and digital capitalism. In order to save humanity and society, we need Radical Digital Humanism now.Trade ReviewDigital Humanism is the book we have been waiting for. Techno gurus, posthumanists, environmentalists, postcolonialists, post-structuralists will have you believe that humanist ethics is no longer relevant to the contemporary world. Yet, as this book demonstrates unflinchingly, never before has humanism been so relevant to the contemporary period. Humanism offers a philosophical and ethical reflection on the recklessness and havoc wrought by human choices and constitutes an attempt to formulate the conditions for a hospitable social world. Digital Humanism refuses to transform humans into machines and to think of machines as humans. This is why this book is such an important and timely intervention. -- Eva Illouz, Director of Studies at EHESS, ParisTable of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction Chapter 2. What is Humanism? Chapter 3.
