Penn State University Feminist Interpretations of Aristotle ReReading
Book SynopsisThis volume is divided into two parts, "Theoretical Sciences" and "Practical and Productive Sciences", reflecting the traditional structure of works in the Aristotelian corpus. It provides an understanding of Aristotle's work and of a feminist methodology in approaching contemporary issues.Trade Review“Overall, the essays in this volume represent a welcome addition to the second wave of feminist criticism and reappraisal of Aristotelian thought on central concern to feminism such as biological and metaphysical essentialism, standpoint theory, the normativity of science, and feminist ethics and aesthetics.”—Julie Ward Hypatia“In summary: this is an outstanding, wide-ranging, thoroughgoing collection of essays which set a new standard for feminist work in the history of philosophy in any field. From a very thorough collection interrogation, the tremendous richness of Aristotle’s thought emerges in a fresh way.”—Eve Browning Cole International Studies in Philosophy

Penn State University Resentment and the Feminine in Nietzsches
Book SynopsisAn interpretation of Nietzsche's relationship to feminism from a developmental perspective. Caroline Picart tracks the way Nietzsche's initial use of "feminine" mythological figures as symbols for modernity's regenerative powers gradually gives way to an increasingly misogynistic politics.Trade Review“A significant contribution to both Nietzsche scholarship and feminist theory, Picart’s well-written book insightfully shows how Nietzsche’s myths of femininity are central to his political philosophy. Her treatment of the evolution of Nietzsche’s ideas is especially impressive.”—Kelly Oliver,SUNY, Stony Brook“Resentment and the “Feminine” in Nietzsche’s Politico-Aesthetics is stimulating, challenging, and an immense joy to read.”—Paul Kingsburgy Feminism and Philosophy“Picart’s book is a sustained and consistent treatment of resentment targeted at Nietzsche himself, using his own genealogical method. Well informed by feminist theory and recent scholarship in political philosophy, while at the same time appropriately attentive to the artistic dimensions of Nietzsche’s thought and arguably all thought as it purports to deal with the question of the feminine, it is one of the most scathing critiques of Nietzsche to emerge in the decade of the 1990s, and all the more scathing insofar as it reveals a genuine knack for turning the thoughts of the master over and against him. I expect that readers of Nietzsche will find much to admire and to question in this bold book, and it is not otherwise with Nietzsche’s writings themselves.”—Andrian Del Caro Journal of Nietzsche Studies

Book SynopsisA philosophical analysis of the puzzles arising from experiencing emotions about fictional characters, this book also considers other paradoxes arising from response to fiction: how we feel suspense over what comes next, and how we take pleasure in narratives that excite unpleasant emotions.Trade Review“This confident, rigorous study makes real progress toward illuminating a deeply puzzling aspect of our emotional involvement with literature.”—Garry L.

Pennsylvania State University Press Tundra Passages History and Gender in the
Book SynopsisDrawing on conversations and experiences shared with Koriak women living on the northeastern Kamchatka peninsula, Petra Rethmann conveys the human dignity and creative energy that persist in the midst of social suffering following the breakdown of the Soviet empire.Trade Review“Petra Rethmann’s evocative Tundra Passages breaks completely new ground in ethnography from the Russian Far East. Drawing on conversations and experiences shared with Koriak women living on northeastern Kamchatka peninsula, she conveys the human dignity and creative energy that persist in the midst of social suffering following the breakdown of the Soviet empire. Rethmann demonstrates how historical conditions and regional inequalities affect the lives of women who struggle to make a better world for themselves and their families. This is ethnography at its very best.”—Julie Cruikshank,University of British Columbia“This book is important for anyone hoping to keep pace with the whirlwind of change besetting Native Siberia. Each of its nine chapters is filled with the quiet drama of people in transition.”—E.J. Vajda Choice“Post-Soviet ethnography is expanding its gaze, due in part to a surging interest in regions of the former Soviet Union that have been recently opened to the outside world. Petra Rethmann’s book represents an important contribution to this expansion. Her book sheds light on a region and group poorly represented in the ethnographic literature, the Koriak of the northeastern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula.”—Edmund (Ned) Searles American Journal of Sociology“This book makes an original and creative contribution that breaks new ground in ethnography from the Russian Far East.”—Julie Cruikshank Current Anthropology“This book makes an original and creative contribution that breaks new ground in ethnography from the Russian Far East.”—Julie Cruikshank Current Anthropology

Penn State University Sweet Land of Liberty The Ordeal of the American
Book SynopsisThis work follows the Revolution in Pennsylvania's backcountry through the experiences of eighteen men and women who lived in Northampton County during these times of turmoil.Trade Review“A one-of-a-kind book, a miracle to be grateful for and to treasure. Fox gives us a new and altogether more disturbing Revolution than we have been accustomed to reckon with. Sweet Land of Liberty may forever change the way we think of our national origins.”—Michael Zuckerman,University of Pennsylvania“To come once again at the question of the morality of the American Revolution but from [the] unfamiliar perspective . . . of the Northampton residents, whose story Francis Fox opens up for the first time in his path-breaking book—is to be reminded of the moral complexities that extraordinary times brought to the lives of ordinary people.”—Mark Noll Books and Culture: A Christian Review“For their beliefs, Moravians and Mennonites forfeited the right to vote, suffered harassment and beatings from neighbors and militiamen, faced draconian fines for their religious objections, and finally, watched as the judicial system confiscated their property and sold it at auction. In relating these moments, Fox artfully captures the pain and hypocrisy that existed on the darker side of liberty’s war.”—Terry Bouton William and Mary Quarterly“The American Revolution in back country Pennsylvania comes alive and is personified in this history of the American Revolution as real men and women lived it. Using biographies of 18 ‘obscure’ men and women, Fox has given voice to the previously unheard. . . . It is good history and a good read with vivid word pictures drawn by Fox’s use of language.”—G.W. Franz Choice“Sweet Land of Liberty brings together biographical sketches of thirteen men and five women whose diverse experiences have been reconstructed on the basis of impressive archival research.”—Charles G. Steffen Journal of American History“The book helps us, nevertheless, to understand the extraordinarily factionalized nature of Pennsylvania’s Revolution outside of Philadelphia and allows us to see that those conflicts were as often about petty grudges and self-interest as about the Revolution’s formally stated aims; Sweet Land of Liberty recalls that all too human dimension with compassion.”—Liam Riordan Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography“Francis Fox writes an engaging and highly personalized account of the American Revolution in the Pennsylvania interior. And as his work makes clear, the Revolution was first and foremost a war—not about ideas—but about people, their personalities and ambitions, as well as their fears, resentments, and even hatreds.”—Judith Ridner Pennsylvania History

Pennsylvania State University Press Feminist Interpretations of Martin Heidegger
Book SynopsisThe 14 essays included in this collection clearly illustrate the ways in which feminist readings can deepen understanding of Heidegger's philosophy. They illuminate both the richness and the limitations of the resources Heidegger's work can provide for feminist thought.Trade Review“The essays in this collection are all of very high quality and excellent scholarship. They represent the work of some of the most important feminist scholars of Heidegger and other Heidegger scholars more generally. The essays reflect diverse approaches to Heidegger, some critical, some sympathetic. This volume will give students and scholars a good introduction not only to the variety of approaches of feminist theorists but also to different approaches to Heidegger.”—Kelly Oliver,SUNY, Stony Brook“Clearly a feminist Auseinandersetzung with Heidegger, as is well demonstrated in this volume, proves a stimulant of both thought and the unthought.”—Leslie Paul Thiele Canadian Journal of Political Science

Penn State University Fighting for the Union Label The Womens Garment
Book SynopsisThe story of how workers in the Wyoming Valley, led by Min Lurye Matheson and her husband, Bill, banded together and built one of the largest and most activist movements of garment workers in the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) vast network.Trade Review“The Wolenskys tell the important story of the building of the ILGWU among runaway garment firms in the Wyoming Valley. Fighting for the Union Label is a very significant addition to our understanding of the garment industry in the twentieth century, union organizing among women garment workers, and the deindustrialization in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania.”—Thomas Dublin,State University of New York at Binghamton“An absorbing biography of a labor movement that fought for workers’ rights for decades, only to see membership decline as the volume of imported apparel rose.”—Mary O. Bradley Harrisburg Patriot News“Fighting for the Union Label is more than the story about the textiles industry in the coal fields; it is an important record of hundreds of thousands of coal region women who went to work to support their families when the mining industry was declining. It is the story of the passion and the resilience of coal crackers: hardworking, honest, industrious men and woman all.”—Christine Goldbeck Anthracite History Journal“This book is a significant addition to the history of the U. S. garment industry and labor movement. By focusing on the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union (ILGWU) in the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania from the 1940s to the 1960s, the Wolenskys have integrated a ‘non-New York’ story into the canonical history of the ILGWU.”—Xiaolan Bao American Historical Review“A bit academic but an excellent read in spite of that.”—Linda Brazill Capital Times“It is an important book for three reasons. First, to their credit, the authors have broken out of the New York-Chicago-Los Angeles approach to the industry. Second, this book could easily be used in undergraduate courses. By telling the story of workers in the Keystone State in their own voices, it gives students a means of entering their world in a way too few labor histories are capable of. And last, it reminds us of what Herbert Gutman stressed: workers’ voices do matter, and good social history should seek to unearth those voices and present them to the public.”—Richard Greenwald Journal of American History“All-in-all, this book is fascinating reading, and demonstrates that institutional history is still an important area of study. Well written and researched, this book is highly recommended for every reading list.”—Richard P. Mulcahy Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography“In spite of its shortcomings, Fighting for the Union Label introduces us to a little known chapter of labour history - women garment workers’ struggle to organize in rural Pennsylvania. The authors successfully make the case that Min Matheson deserves a place in the canon of labor heroes. And most importantly, the book makes us rethink the history of deindustrialization by turning back the clock 50 years.”—Daniel Kerr Labour“The strength in this book is in its rich use of over 325 oral histories. We learn that globalism has a history, but we learn it from the workers themselves.”—Richard Greenwald Journal of American History“The history of garment workers might be a well-worn topic, yet we still know relatively little about the postwar period and next to nothing outside of a few key cities. This is what makes Fighting for the Union Label so important. It is a history of garment workers in Pennsylvania’s Wyoming Valley from the 1930s up till the 1990s.”—Richard Greenwald Journal of American History

Pennsylvania State University Press The Aesthetics of Comics
Book SynopsisThe ingenuity with which the classial comic strip artists found ways of telling whole stories in four or five panels has been insufficiently appreciated by philosophers or historians of art. This volume examines these narrative strategies.Trade Review“The ingenuity with which the classical comic strip artists found ways of telling whole stories in four or five panels has been insufficiently appreciated by philosophers or historians of art. Carrier has written a marvelous book on these narrative strategies, from which we cannot but learn something about how the mind processes pictorial information and how the Old Masters coped with the urgent stories simple people had to understand.”—Arthur Danto,Columbia University“Carrier is an academic philosopher who also works as an engaged commentator on contemporary art. His writings tend to be full of witty rhetorical constructions, and thus they are entertaining to read in ways that most contemporary academic writing, whether on philosophy or art or both, is not.”—Bill Berkson,San Francisco Art Institute“David Carrier has written a most perceptive and readable account of that great American apparatus—the comic strip. Historically accurate and philosophically bracing, this is a truly terrific book. Carrier has done a necessary and brilliant service, and he has provided a true gift to all who admire the comic strip tradition.”—Archie Rand,Columbia University“Carrier’s gracefully erudite book will do for the comics what Stanley Cavell has done for Hollywood movies.”—George J. Leonard Universal Pictures“The ingenuity with which the classical comic strip artists found ways of telling whole stories in four or five panels has been insufficiently appreciated by philosophers or historians of art.

Penn State University Moral Relativism Moral Diversity and Human
Book SynopsisThis work aims to clarify the debate between moral relativists and moral absolutists by showing what is right and what is wrong about each of these positions, by revealing how the phenomenon of moral diversity is connected to moral relativism.Trade Review“This book is a development of Kellenberger’s distinctive approach to morality that he has worked out in Relationship Morality. The two books are independent, but each deepens and complements the other. . . . One of the most interesting features of the book is Kellenberger’s attempt to show how standard notions such as rights, obligations, and virtues are recast and defended from the point of view of relationship morality. This is needed because, if he is right, the existing moral absolutist accounts are unsatisfactory and the challenge issued by moral relativism is unmet. . . . Kellenberger goes far afield to consider the practices of religions, cultures, and ethnic groups that differ historically, socially, morally, and politically. This greatly strengthens his argument and makes what he has to say alive with palpable significance for anyone who is willing to think hard about moral matters. . . . The audience for the work extends far beyond moral philosophers. It will interest political theorists, anthropologists, theologians, and sociologists. It ranges across moral thought, religious reflection, feminism, and ethnography. And because it is written plainly and is rich with illustrations, it could be suitable as a text in advanced undergraduate and graduate classes. It is also accessible to a general audience, provided it is literate and is willing to think hard about moral issues.”—John Kekes,SUNY-Albany“Kellenberger’s book is thoughtful, evocative, well researched, and informative. He has managed to pull together a notable range of examples to illustrate his thesis that a proper understanding of person-person relationships can untangle differences between relativists and anti-relativists. . . . Examples include abortion, marital fidelity, the distribution of justice, famine relief, genital mutilation—all sensitive to such non-Western cultures as tribal Africa, Buddhism, and Hinduism. . . . This book should find its place in many courses in ethics, philosophy of social science, cultural theory, and other courses concerned with multicultural themes.”—Michael Krausz,Bryn Mawr College
