In a time of great contest and confusion over the future of democracy as a governing principle, the example of Abraham Lincoln continues to provide encouragement and direction about democracy’s viability in the face of immense challenges. In The Political Writings of Abraham Lincoln, Allen Guelzo brings into one volume Lincoln’s most famous political documents and speeches from his earliest days as a political candidate under the banner of the Whig Party, to his election and service as the first anti-slavery Republican president, from 1861 to 1865, and the nation’s leader in the fiery trial of civil war. While many anthologies of Lincoln’s political documents routinely concentrate on his presidential years or only on his anti-slavery writings, Guelzo concentrates on documents from Lincoln’s earliest political activity as an Illinois state legislator in the 1830s up through his presidency. The result is an accessible resource for students, researchers, and general readers.

Though sanitised in popular gothic television across the late-twentieth century, the figure of the witch has since the early modern period been connected to gendered forms of capitalist violence, functioning as a tool for (literally) domesticating women both in Europe and the colonies at moments when existing organisations of labour are restructured. At the same time, witchcraft (a contested term) has also been a cultural site of gendered and epistemic resistance, where anti-patriarchal practices intersect with the reclamation of non-Eurocentric cosmologies. This chapter examines these different dimensions of the witch, incorporating a range of regional and cultural perspectives.

This chapter explores the folk and traditional music of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales – the so-called Celtic regions of the British Isles – in terms of the concepts and processes through which such music is made, representing both the everyday and the elite, past and present; modalities, in short, that I feel represent a timeless importance to our aesthetic understanding and a foundation for negotiating traditional music’s social and historical value today. Threading loosely through my exploration of these modalities is what ethnomusicologist Constantin Brăiloiu called ‘the problem of creation’, which serves as a useful lens through which I remark on the making of traditional music as a complex interplay of function, acquisition, structure, symmetry, orality, improvisation, variation, literacy, and memory. I present these modalities chiefly through the prism of Scottish music owing to its significance in the historical discourse surrounding our very concept of the folk.

This chapter presents a neo-Aristotelian account of stakeholder deliberation, arguing that a range of virtues is needed to ensure that consensus among stakeholders is based on a shared recognition of valid reasons, rather than on force or irrational persuasion. While proponents of political corporate social responsibility (PCSR) emphasize the need for corporations to engage in deliberation amid widespread market failures and regulatory gaps, fundamental normative questions regarding the legitimacy of agreements reached through such processes remain unanswered. Drawing on MacIntyre (1999), we argue that deliberation among stakeholders must be governed by deliberative virtues – including justice, honesty, humility, benevolence, courage, and mercy – to ensure that consensus emerges from an appreciation of salient reasons for action and the give-and-take of shared practical inquiry. Virtuous deliberation among stakeholders is a vital mode of moral agency in nonideal economic contexts, promoting eudaimonic efficiency by fostering market outcomes that are more just, as well as the self-constitution of market actors capable of responding wisely to moral complexity.

Overspill is a powerful tool for arguments at the boundary of the hyperarithmetic. We take the Harrison-linear ordering approach to overspill arugments. We used them to introduce structures of high-Scott rank.

In this chapter Angeline Morrison offers an exquisitely written account of what mythopoeic singing means to her and why it is central to reimagining the history of British folk music. Drawing on the work of W. E. B. Du Bois, she highlights the transformative power of song. Disembodied, imaginal, or non-physical things, she argues, can be sung into being. This process can serve the cause of decolonization by engaging in a form of contemporary mythmaking that re-enchants and re-populates historical landscapes with figures known to have been present, but who may not be identifiable in the body of song that survives.

This chapter introduces the three contributions in Part VI, “Individual Behavior in Strategic Interactions.” It frames the contributions in terms of two main issues that underlie models in behavioral game theory: (1) what motivates players (i.e., their goals or preferences) and (2) the mechanisms or procedures behind their choices.
