It will be of interest to anyone studying James, American philosophy, twentieth-century philosophy, and also to those in related subjects such as religion and the history of psychology.

William James (1842-1910) is widely regarded as one of the most important philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and a major figure in the history of psychology. Renowned for his philosophical theories of pragmatism and "the will to believe", his work encompassed a rich array of subjects from consciousness and free will to religion, evolution, ethics and the meaning of life. In this clear and engaging book Henry Jackman introduces and explains William James’s philosophy. Beginning with an overview of James’s life and work, he explores the following key topics:<ul> <li>James’s life and works</li> <li>psychology and its importance for James’s philosophy</li> <li>rationality, belief and faith</li> <li>pragmatism and meaning</li> <li>pragmatism and truth</li> <li>ethics and religion</li> <li>James’s reception and philosophical legacy.</li> </ul>Including chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary, this book is ideal for those coming to James for the first time as well as those already acquainted with his thought. It will be of interest to anyone studying James, American philosophy, twentieth-century philosophy, and also to those in related subjects such as religion and the history of psychology.

Konrad Feiereis (1931-2012) gehört zu den wichtigsten intellektuellen Figuren der katholischen Kirche in der DDR. Als Professor für Philosophie am Philosophisch-Theologischen Studium in Erfurt hat er zur Zeit der kommunistischen Diktatur und nach der Wiedervereinigung Generationen von Theologinnen und Theologen geprägt. Maßgeblich hat er sich am Dialog zwischen Christentum und Marxismus und an der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Atheismus beteiligt. Als Seelsorger hat er die christliche Botschaft in die Gegenwart übersetzt und auch in widrigen Zeiten von der Hoffnung der Christen Zeugnis abgelegt. Dieser Band führt aus persönlicher und wissenschaftlicher Perspektive in Leben und Werk dieses faszinierenden Denkers und Grenzgängers ein und zeigt seine bleibende Bedeutung.

Key areas and aspects of ancient philosophy in Greek and Indian Buddhist traditions are illuminated in this collection. Covering an extended period of time, from early (5th century BC), through Hellenism (at Cyrene), to post-Hellenistic times (up to the 7th century AD) it begins by focusing on historical themes and methods in ancient Greece and India. This sketch of historical and philosophical connections between the regions, from Classical times to post-Hellenism, sets the ground for deeper exploration between these two traditions. Attention is placed on reality and selfhood. An international team of contributors deal with topics including consciousness, personal identity and personhood. They tackle metaphysical questions about composition and material constitution of things, shedding light on the challenges Greek and Buddhist thinkers faced. Converging analyses and shared themes are identified in a substantive introduction to the collection. Key philosophical terms from ancient Greek, Latin, Sanskrit and Tibetan are included in a glossary. This is an important contribution to the growing literature in ancient comparative philosophy.

Global Ethics

How have the major philosophical traditions addressed global gender issues? How do gendered power dynamics privilege some voices over others? How do states and other political actors respond to major global gender issues? What is the position of transgender persons in world politics? How do gender norms and power dynamics shape the ways in which the global economy produces or reinforces socio-economic inequities? What role do gender norms play in the context of war and conflict? How do gender norms influence international human rights laws?Global Gender: Ethical and Political Issues provides readers with the analytical tools to better understand the suppositions that underlie the debates about such questions, as well as advances its own reasoned and informed ethical analyses of these topics. The book engages different normative approaches from the fields of ethics, political theory, sociology and international relations and uses them to examine a set of international case studies on the subjects of human trafficking, female infanticide and the role of gender in war and conflict.

Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies

In his chapter entitled 'Anselm on Ethics' in the Cambridge Companion to Anselm, Jeffrey Brower comments that, 'Anselm's ethical views have received very little attention from contemporary scholars, and as a result there is no satisfactory systematic treatment of them available in the contemporary literature.' This book seeks to fill that lacuna. More specifically the purpose of this volume is to examine the extent to which Anselm of Canterbury possessed a consistent normative philosophy which coherently addressed the question of how the individual ought to act. By so doing it extends the contemporary commentary of Anselm's ethical philosophy beyond the abstract and meta-ethical and analyses the ways in which Anselm's letter collection can be used to show pragmatic approaches to ethical questions. In examining this field, this book contains two interdependent parts, one illustrative of the other. The first deals with Anselm's anthropology, theory of will, and ethical philosophy. The second examines the impact of his theology and ethical philosophy upon his societal and political beliefs. The contrast between formal theological writing and the more personal letter collections is intentional as a way of evaluating the manner in which Anselm's thought is consistent across a range of academic exercises and real world scenarios. In addition, this provides case studies of how a normative approach opens up new lines of research and furthers the field of Anselm studies, addressing several past issues of contention.

The Ethical Philosophy of Anselm of Canterbury

Ashgate Keeling Series in Ancient Philosophy

Two major works on ethics have come down to us under Aristotle's name, the Nicomachean Ethics and the Eudemian Ethics, but, quite unjustifiably, the Eudemian Ethics has been largely neglected by students of ancient philosophy. This important collection of essays from the sixth Keeling colloquium on ancient philosophy tries to rectify this one-sided approach to Aristotle's ethics by focusing on the positions and arguments of the Eudemian Ethics. As the essays demonstrate, Aristotle's views in the Eudemian Ethics frequently differ in interesting and surprising ways from those found in the Nicomachean Ethics and deserve study for their own sake, not merely for purposes of comparison with the Nicomachean Ethics. The contributors include some of the best known Aristotle scholars of the present day. Christopher Rowe and Jennifer Whiting investigate the Eudemian Ethics' account of friendship (philia) while M.M. McCabe examines the closely related issue of self-knowledge in EE VII.12. Stephen White analyzes the Eudemian Ethics' account of eudaimonia, David Charles focuses on voluntary action, and Friedemann Buddensiek investigates Aristotle's difficult discussion of good fortune (eutuchia) in EE VIII.2. The volume also contains critical discussions of these papers provided by commentators, who, along with Whiting and McCabe, include Julia Annas and Sarah Broadie.
