'A richly entertaining history of the ways in which, for 3,000 years, the church has tied itself in knots over sex (and love and marriage) ... fabulous' Observer The Bible observes that God made humanity 'for a while a little lower than the angels'. If humans are that close to angels, does the difference lie in human sexuality and what we do with it? In a single lifetime, Christianity or historically Christian societies have witnessed one of the most extraordinary about-turns in attitudes to sex and gender in human history, bringing liberation for some and fury and fear for others. This book by Oxford's Emeritus Professor of the History of the Church seeks to calm fears and encourage understanding by telling the 3000-year-long tale of Christians encountering sex, gender and the family, with noises off from their sacred texts. It beckons us to pay attention to the sheer glorious complexity and contradictions in the history of Christianity, an epic of ordinary and extraordinary Christians trying to make sense of themselves and of humanity's deepest desires, fears and hopes.

A History of Sex and Christianity

Lower than the Angels

New Cambridge Bible Commentary

2 Peter

NomosTextbook

What is religion? Are religious beliefs rational? Do science and religion conflict? Does God exist? Are we immortal? These are just a few of the fundamental questions explored in the philosophy of religion. In this accessible and comprehensive introduction, Sebastian Gäb presents the core problems, debates, and theories central to contemporary philosophy of religion.
Structured into 14 concise chapters, the book covers both classical and modern perspectives, providing readers with a balanced understanding of the field. Designed primarily for students of philosophy, theology, and religious studies, this book also appeals broadly to anyone interested in philosophical questions about religion. Additionally, it serves as an ideal textbook for Philosophy of Religion courses at the undergraduate level.

Sebastian Gäb is Professor of Philosophy of Religion at Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) Munich and a member of LMU's Centre for Buddhist Studies.

Philosophy of Religion

Semiotics, Communication and Cognition

There are many theories of meaning. Most of them are descriptive and do not answer the question of what meaning is and how and why it arises. This book answers these questions. To paraphrase Leibniz's famous phrase, it asks why there is meaning rather than nothing. Its originality lies in showing that meaning comes from the senses, and so it emphasises the bodiliness of semiosis, making use of advances in the cognitive sciences, in a unified theoretical framework in which meaning emerges from the physical world. This all-encompassing vision has been made possible because the author - who is not an isolated person but a collective - has a long history of interdisciplinary work. Groupe µ is a leading research team based at the University of Liège (Belgium). For over fifty years, it has been at the forefront of transdisciplinary work in rhetoric, semiotics and the theory of communication, whether linguistic or visual. From Rhétorique Générale (1970), a classic translated into some twenty languages and hailed by the journal Sciences humaines as one of the most important books of the twentieth century, to Nouveau traité du signe visuel (2026), which provides a general grammar of the image, whether figurative or not, its collectively authored works have all represented decisive advances for these disciplines.

The Sources of Meaning

Principia Semiotica

How a society's capacity for belief forms the foundation of its successDo you struggle to find reasons to feel optimistic about the future? Are you trying to understand the creeping institutional dysfunction we see the world over? In this book, Ryan Avent explores how an unswerving confidence in systems of liberal democracy and free market capitalism-which he terms the "Modern Faith"-has left many Western countries struggling to deal with democratic backsliding and social dysfunction. Those seeking the certainty of another technocratic solution, however, are searching in the wrong place. The true foundation of our prosperity, Avent argues, is not in an ability to reason our way to better policies and institutions but rather lies in the nature and distribution of our beliefs.Drawing from economics, history, philosophy, biology, and much else besides, Avent shows that our capacity for belief is what connects us, guides our behavior moment by moment and year by year, and determines how well we cooperate in the production of social and economic complexity. Far from standing in opposition to science and reason, faith is central to the human endeavor. By understanding the nature of faith and how it forms the fabric of our society, we can better find ways to come together to tackle the global crises of rising authoritarianism and climate change that threaten us all, and find hope within one another.

Dreihundertdreißig Jahre Wissenschaft zu Qur’ān und Islam

'A gem of a book, serious and clever yet funny and playful' Financial Times 'Professor of philosophy and a public intellectual for the internet age, Callard shows how Socrates can inform the way we live our lives - from romance to politics' Guardian Socrates has been hiding in plain sight. We call him the father of Western philosophy, but what exactly are his philosophical views? He is famous for his humility, but readers often find him arrogant and condescending. We parrot his claim that 'the unexamined life is not worth living,' yet take no steps to live examined ones. We know that he was tried, convicted, and executed for 'corrupting the youth,' but freely assign Socratic dialogues to today's youths, to introduce them to philosophy. We've lost sight of what made him so dangerous. In Open Socrates, acclaimed philosopher Agnes Callard recovers the radical energy at the centre of Socrates' thought and shows why it is still the way to a good life. Callard draws our attention to Socrates' startling discovery that we don't know how to ask ourselves the most important questions- about how we should live, and how we might change. Before a person even has a chance to reflect, their bodily desires or the forces of social conformity have already answered on their behalf. To ask the most important questions, we need help. Callard argues that the true ambition of the famous "Socratic method" is to reveal what one human being can be to another. You can use another person in many ways-for survival, for pleasure, for comfort- but you are engaging them to the fullest when you call on them to help answer your questions and challenge your answers. Here Callard shows that Socrates' method allows us to make progress in thinking about how to manage romantic love, how to confront one's own death, and how to approach politics. In the process, she gives us nothing less than a new ethics to live by.

Neue Ökologie

Die ökologische Krise ist vielschichtig. Die erforderliche gesellschaftliche Transformation betrifft auch das Weltbild. Aktuelle Vorschläge zur Weiterentwicklung der Vorstellungen zum Verhältnis von Mensch und Natur fallen meist fragmentarisch aus und tendieren in eine romantische oder utopische Richtung. Was fehlt, ist eine fundierte Klärung der Sinnbedingungen passender Weltbilder. Die Beiträge aus Philosophie, Theologie und Environmental Humanities legen dazu grundlegende Überlegungen vor und benennen zentrale Faktoren: die moralische und rechtliche Stellung von Naturwesen, die spirituelle Dimension, die Ausrichtung technischer und ökonomischer Zugänge und die Notwendigkeit eines relationalen Denkens.

Palgrave Pioneers in Criminology

This book highlights the significance of René Girard's work for key criminological debates to provide new perspectives. Girard explores the causes of violence in humans and his work is used to interpret cultural phenomena related to criminology and victimology. The book focuses in particular on Girard’s cultural anthropology of the victim as being foundational to social order. The scapegoat mechanism, as developed by Girard, is an anthropological reading of myth which provides a site of rich dialogue with criminology, victimology, theology and philosophy. The book explores how this provides readers with ontological, epistemological and methodological tools for both explaining and changing the practices of justice.Aaron Pycroft
 is Associate Professor in Criminal Justice and Social Complexity at the University of Portsmouth, UK.
