The Life of Ideas

Baring Edward: Vulgar Marxism

Vulgar Marxism

Revolutionary Politics and the Dilemmas of Worker Education, 1891–1931

A landmark biography of one of the most notorious and controversial protagonists of the French Revolution--Jean-Paul Marat. Who better to pen an authoritative biography of Jean-Paul Marat (1743-93) than preeminent historian of France, Keith Michael Baker? Decades in the making, this monumental work takes readers on a journey through the intriguing, sometimes shocking life of this writer and thinker. Starting with his Swiss family and upbringing, Baker then sheds light on Marat's early years in England, his career as an aspiring scientist in Paris, his gradual transformation from impassioned pamphleteer to revolutionary newspaperman, and, finally, his murder and martyrdom. Throughout, Baker offers readers the unique opportunity to reconsider the outbreak and development of the French Revolution through Marat's eyes and in his own words. To help make sense of Marat's trajectory, he shows how his violent and incendiary public calls to render unseen forces visible, to inject immediacy into an increasingly abstract modern world, would transform classical republicanism into the language of the Terror. Far beyond a standard rendering of Marat's life and its milestones, this biography offers readers an opportunity to see the French Revolution as never before, through the perspective of one of its major figures. Baker's book reveals how someone like Marat could go from translating Newton and engaging Franklin to calling for an ever-growing number of heads to roll--a transformation as chillingly relevant as ever.

Prophet of Terror

Jean-Paul Marat

Going against the grain, this refreshing book argues for a non-ideological portrait of the Enlightenment as having been, above all else, a self-critical enterprise. &nbsp; The Enlightenment has come under substantial attack over the past several years, with some going so far as to recommend leaving its thinkers-and their Eurocentric prejudices-behind. On the other hand, the most orthodox defenders of the Enlightenment insist that its values are not just foundational but indispensable and that leaving them behind means opening the door to nihilism and relativism. For Antoine Lilti, one of the leading scholars of the French Enlightenment, both sides are wrong. &nbsp; In this remarkable series of essays, Lilti emphasizes a non-dogmatic, non-ideological view of the Enlightenment-one that sees its legacy as a critical, subversive attitude that can and should serve as its own best critic. Along the way, he engages the way with everyone from Rousseau and Kant to Foucault and Habermas, as well as prominent contemporary scholars such as Jonathan Israel. The result is a new reading of the Enlightenment that breathes life into old debates and offers an alternative way to engage with canonical thinkers and traditions that is both honest about the past and useful for the future. &nbsp;

Ambivalences of Modernity

The Legacy of the Enlightenment

"A wide-ranging history of the term "fascism," what it has meant in the past, and what it means today. The rise of political figures like the United States' Donald Trump, Hungary's Viktor Orbâan, Italy's Giorgia Meloni, and Argentina's Javier Milei has spurred debates on the meaning of the term "fascist" and when and whether it is appropriate to use it. The landmark study Fascism: The History of a Word takes this debate further by tackling its most fundamental questions: How did the terms "fascism" and "fascist" come to be in the first place? How and in what circumstances have they been used? How can they be understood today? And what are the advantages (or disadvantages) of using "fascism" to make sense of interwar authoritarianism as well as today's predicament? Exploring the writings and deeds of political leaders, activists, artists, authors, and philosophers, Federico Marcon traces the history of the term's use (and usefulness) in relation to Mussolini's political regime, antifascist resistance, and the quest of postwar historians to develop a definition of a "fascist minimum." This investigation of the semiotics of "fascism" also aims to inquire about people's voluntary renunciation of the modern emancipatory ideals of freedom, equality, and solidarity"--

Charts the long history of resentment, from its emergence to its establishment as the word of the moment. &nbsp; The term "resentment," often casually paired with words like "hatred," "rage," and "fear," has dominated US news analysis since November 2016. Despite its increased use, this word seems to defy easy categorization. Does "resentment" describe many interlocking sentiments, or is it just another way of saying "anger"? Does it suggest an irrational grievance, as opposed to a legitimate callout of injustice? Does it imply political leanings, or is it nonpartisan by nature? &nbsp; In The Return of Resentment, Robert A. Schneider explores these questions and more, moving from eighteenth-century Britain to the aftermath of the French Revolution to social movements throughout the twentieth century. Drawing on a wide range of writers, thinkers, and historical experiences, Schneider illustrates how resentment has morphed across time, coming to express a collective sentiment felt by people and movements across the political spectrum. In this history, we discover resentment's modernity and its ambiguity-how it can be used to dismiss legitimate critique and explain away violence, but also convey a moral stance that demands recognition. Schneider anatomizes the many ways resentment has been used to label present-day movements, from followers of Trump and supporters of Brexit to radical Islamicists and proponents of identity politics. Addressing our contemporary political situation in a novel way, The Return of Resentment challenges us to think critically about the roles different emotions play in politics.

The Rise and Decline and Rise Again of a Political Emotion

The Return of Resentment

"In this bold and wide-ranging book, intellectual historian Martin Jay traces across several centuries the conflict between two versions of nominalism-"conventional" nominalism and what he calls "magical" nominalism. According to Jay, since at least William of Ockham, the conventional form of nominalism contributed to the disenchantment of the world by rejecting the notion of general terms as anything other than names we use to group particular objects together, rejecting the idea that they have any reference to a further, "higher" reality. Magical nominalism, instead, performs a reenchanting function by investing names with an auratic power of their own. Starting with the initial revolution of nominalism against Scholastic realism, Jay proceeds to unpack various "counterrevolutions" against nominalism itself. Ranging from theology to critical theory, philosophy of history, aesthetics, and political theory, engaging with thinkers including Adorno, Barthes, Bataille, Benjamin, and Derrida; artists such as Marcel Duchamp; and a range of contemporary theorists, this book provides us with a new way to understand humanity's intellectual path to modernity and its aftermath. Focusing on fundamental debates over the relationship between language and reality, Jay shows, allows for surprising, illuminating connections across thinkers, disciplines, and vast realms of human experience"--

"A political history exploring the concept of demos in the French government during the period of 1800 to 1850. In his previous book, Demos Assembled, historian Stephen W. Sawyer offered a transatlantic account of the birth and transformation of the modern democratic state. In Demos Rising, he presents readers of political history with a prequel whose ambitious claim is that a genuine demos became possible in France only with the development of government regulation and administration. Focusing on democracy as a form of administration rather than as a form of sovereignty allows Sawyer to explore urban planning, work and private enterprise, health administration, and much more, as cornerstones of a self-governing society of equals. Focusing on the period between 1800 and 1850, Sawyer examines a set of thinkers who debated at length over the material problems of everyday life, sparking calls for political action and social reform in the face of conflict wrought by issues like deforestation, urbanization, health crises, labor relations, industrial capitalism, religious tensions, and imperial expansion. The solutions to these problems, Sawyer argues, were sought and sometimes found, not through elections, as one might assume, but rather through the "care for all" promised by modern administrative power, regulatory intervention, and social welfare programs. By studying this profound transformation in governance, the book wagers, we can better understand the origin and meaning of democracy when events in our own time have thrown the concept into doubt"--

"In The Alpine Enlightenment, historian Kathleen Kete takes us into the world of the Genevan geologist, physicist, inventor, and mountaineer Horace Bâenâedict de Saussure. During his prodigious climbs into the upper ranges of the Alps, Saussure focused intensely on the natural phenomena he encountered-glaciers, crevasses, changes in the weather, and shifts in the color of the sky-and he described what he saw and felt with great precision, articulating a view of nature as worthy of respect independently of human needs. Kete uses Saussure's evocative writings, which emphasized above all physical engagement with the earth, to uncover not just how people during the Enlightenment thought about nature, but more importantly how they experienced it. As Kete shows, Saussure thought with and through his body; he harnessed his senses to understand the forces that shaped the world around him, and in so doing, he anticipated present-day concerns about the environment and our place as humans within it"--

Horace-Bénédict de Saussure and Nature’s Sensorium

The Alpine Enlightenment

A sweeping intellectual history of the welfare state's policy-in-waiting. The idea of a government paying its citizens to keep them out of poverty-now known as basic income-is hardly new. Often dated as far back as ancient Rome, basic income's modern conception truly emerged in the late nineteenth century. Yet as one of today's most controversial proposals, it draws supporters from across the political spectrum. In this eye-opening work, Anton Jäger and Daniel Zamora Vargas trace basic income from its rise in American and British policy debates following periods of economic tumult to its modern relationship with technopopulist figures in Silicon Valley. They chronicle how the idea first arose in the United States and Europe as a market-friendly alternative to the postwar welfare state and how interest in the policy has grown in the wake of the 2008 credit crisis and COVID-19 crash. An incisive, comprehensive history, Welfare for Markets tells the story of how a fringe idea conceived in economics seminars went global, revealing the most significant shift in political culture since the end of the Cold War.

In works such as The Mask of Anarchy? and "A Philosophical View of Reform,? Matthew C. Borushko argues, Percy Bysshe Shelley intervenes in the reformist crisis of agency occasioned by the dramatic historical and political violence that characterized Britain during the Romantic period. He shows how Shelley's body or work reconceived the possibility of the political possibilities of art and explores the implications of Shelley's nonviolence for later artists and reformers such as George Bernard Shaw to Mohandas K. Gandhi.

Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies

Metafiction, the practice in fictional texts of displaying an awareness of their fictional status, highlighting it, or even exploring it after the manner of literary criticism, existed in ancient Greek and Roman literature. This book demonstrates by cumulative weight of examples the existence of metafiction in classical literature, and in so doing constitutes an 'archaeology' of the origins of metafiction in Western literature. Author Owen Hodkinson engages with a wide range of approaches to fiction and metafiction, and explores detailed examples or case studies from ancient texts. This book provides for the first time for classical and modern literature scholars a full definition of metafiction which uses the earliest metafictional texts in western literature as its examples rather than only modern novels, and the first general but detailed and theoretically-grounded discussion and definition of metafiction aimed at scholars and students of classical literature.

The war in the Far East from 1939 to 1945, as witnessed first-hand by Scottish soldier and celebrated documentarian Harry BirrellFrom the moment he received a cine-camera at age 10, Harry Birrell devoted his life to documenting the world around him, including his enlistment and his adventures serving in the Burma, Nepal and India. Not only did he capture the war as he saw it, but he kept copious diaries from 1939 to 1945 so that his family would know what he had experienced in the event of his death. These unique record of the campaign are compelling, insightful, funny, charming, moving - all in equal measure. As a soldier posted with the Gurkhas for most of the war, Harry Birrell worked as a surveyor, mapping out the country as the war with the Japanese ebbed and flowed around him. While this might seem like it was away from any action, the job of creating these references for the fighting part of the army was critical and required him to be at the front line in order that the troops and their commanders had the most up to date and accurate maps as the war evolved. As a result, he has an unusual insider overview of that brutal campaign as well as wonderful insight into the Gurkhas under his command.

In 1946 and 1948, James Conway Davies published volumes one and two of his Episcopal Acts and Cognate Documents Relating to Welsh Dioceses 1066-1272. A notice in the front of volume two indicates that volume three - promised for publication in 1950/1 but never released - would have contained inter alia the acts of the dioceses of Bangor and St Asaph and an index of the acts contained in all three volumes. The editor left behind a massive card index and the galley proofs of the acts of St Asaph and Bangor, and it is these that form the basis of the present volume. It therefore completes what is both a monumental study on and source of information for the Church in medieval Wales.
