Affective Knowledge in the Theology of Thomas Aquinas

  • According to the standard Thomistic account, God can be known both by nature and revelation. The first is the terrain of metaphysics, which knows God as the cause of his created effects. The second is theology, which knows God through the words in which he has revealed himself. Often neglected, however, is a third way that Aquinas maintains God can be known. Affective knowledge, which proceeds by way of intuition, experience, and union, is fundamental to Aquinas's theological method. The central claim of this book is that, for Aquinas, the new life of grace given in baptism also entails a new affective, connatural knowledge of the things of God. This “loving knowledge,” which finds its consummation in beatific knowing, reverberates throughout Aquinas's theological epistemology, underwriting his account of the doctrine of gifts of the Holy Spirit, divine indwelling, the spiritual senses, and theological contemplation.

Barbarians at the Gate

  • The legacy of fascism has challenged far-right expansion in Central Europe, yet nativist parties have found a workaround without compromising exclusionary ethno-nationalist agendas. Barbarians at the Gate explores the under-studied role that religion plays in the promotion of the ethno-nationalist agendas currently chipping away at liberal democratic protections. The book identifies a democratic erosion grounded in a Christian Nationalist concept of the ethno-nation fused with Christianity. Through a combination of interviews, new surveys with Austrian and German voters, and an original dataset of nativist and radical-right party rhetoric, it demonstrates how nativist parties use religion as a vehicle for democratic erosion, even in nations long-seen as bastions of democracy. Especially in Germany, where the hurdles to a far-right comeback are high, understanding how nativist parties use religious framing to sidestep the legacies of Nazism while still promoting ethno-nationalism is critical.

  • Victorian women's writing was a global project, offering platforms of expression to authors of wildly different perspectives, cultures, and life experiences. While conventional accounts of Victorian women's writing emphasize modest domestic ideals, this volume places that familiar narrative in conversation with voices that tell very different stories, including those that challenge, reject, reform, subvert, and sometimes reinforce received assumptions about what Victorian women thought, did, and wrote. Engaging sources from the 1830s to the dawn of the Great War in 1914 and beyond, this multi-authored history emphasizes the differences and the connections – both formal and thematic –linking those international, interdisciplinary, and transgeneric voices. Gathering cutting-edge contributions by scholars from across a rich variety of disciplinary perspectives, this History redefines what Victorian women's writing made possible in the modern world.

  • Chaebols like Samsung are globally recognized Korean business groups under shared family ownership. In the context of significant structural transformations shaped by evolving regulatory pressures in the wake of the Asian Financial Crisis, they faced the pressing question of how to transfer control of their sprawling networks of affiliated companies to the next generation. Focusing on both the inheritance of wealth and the transfer of managerial authority, this book traces how high inheritance taxes, tightening regulation of intra-group transactions and changing corporate governance norms have reshaped ownership structures and leadership patterns in these important economic entities. Sea-Jin Chang advocates a hybrid governance model, using professional managers for the day-to-day management of individual affiliates, while family owners focus on setting the strategic direction and ensuring intergenerational continuity. This collaborative approach allows chaebols to harness the complementary strengths of family stewardship and professional expertise, thereby enhancing corporate governance and supporting long-term sustainability.

Against Managerialist Research

  • Offering a rigorous critique of the scientific assumptions and ideological commitments that underlie contemporary managerialist research, this book exposes the foundational premises that sustain this influential approach. Mats Persson and Jan Ch. Karlsson define managerialism as an ideology that elevates management's goals and values to a universal status, shaping both research and practice. They demonstrate how managerialism promotes the alignment of workers' identities and aspirations with managerial objectives while excluding them from meaningful democratic participation in shaping those objectives. Tracing managerialist research back to Scientific Management and Human Relations-not merely to neoliberalism or New Public Management-the authors examine its two core dimensions: that workers are inherently irrational and that workplace democracy constitutes a threat against management and employers. They unpack managerialism's confused interpretations of organisational misbehaviour and resistance, analyse the ideological foundations of managerialist leadership theories, and ultimately propose more robust, democratic approaches to researching working life.

  • Understanding Our Philanthropic Commons boldly rethinks giving and volunteering as part of a shared resource system - a philanthropic 'commons'. Drawing on the influential frameworks of Elinor and Vincent Ostrom and the Ostrom Workshop, this book equips readers with accessible tools, including the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework, Social‑Ecological Systems (SES), Institutional Grammar, and Design Principles for self‑governance. Using case studies ranging from giving circles and donor‑advised funds to workplace campaigns and volunteer management, the authors show how rules, norms, and strategies create institutional arrangements that shape philanthropic behaviour. Fresh insights are offered into addressing philanthropic social dilemmas - such as declines in giving and volunteering - amid technological, social, and economic change. This book is ideal for scholars, nonprofit leaders, policy professionals, students seeking to understand how to sustainably govern giving resources, and for anyone interested in philanthropy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Divine Presence and Absence in the Gospel of John

  • Scholars have long recognized John's dual focus on Jesus's relationship to God's presence and his impending physical absence. Yet attention to Jesus's absence is often restricted to the Farewell Discourse. Josiah D. Hall here provides an innovative reading of John's Gospel, arguing that tension between Jesus's presence and absence develops throughout the narrative and is integral to the Gospel's plot. Drawing on sources from across the ancient Mediterranean basin, Hall contends that John leverages conceptions of how deities would manifest their presence to clarify that Jesus is the enfleshed divine presence. Likewise, John depicts Jesus's absence by drawing on motifs of divine departure, especially those which understand a deity's absence as judgment. Attending closely to the paradoxical import of Jesus's presence and absence in John, Hall provides insights on classic Johannine riddles, including John's perspectives on the temple, the characters he labels as 'the Jews', and the Spirit-Paraclete's relationship to Jesus.

  • Quantum field theory (QFT) is one of the great achievements of physics, of profound interest to mathematicians, yet standard texts often assume a physicist's background or adopt an abstract mathematical perspective. This thoroughly updated edition bridges that gap. While maintaining a rigorous approach wherever possible, it focuses on explaining what physicists do and why, using precise mathematical language. Written for readers with a background in mathematics but no prior knowledge of physics, and largely self-contained, it presents both essential physical ideas and the necessary mathematical tools in detail. This revised edition has been improved throughout, with many clarifications to the text and the inclusion of solutions to selected exercises to enhance its use for self-study. It will appeal to mathematicians seeking an accessible path into QFT and to physics students wanting greater rigor.

  • The study of complex systems has expanded rapidly in recent decades, driving the development of powerful techniques that can be applied across a wide range of disciplines. The growing philosophical examination of complexity alongside scientific advances offers profound and far-reaching insights. This book delves into the philosophy of complexity, supported by interdisciplinary examples. It opens with a concise introduction to the concepts of stability and information, as well as the necessary mathematical formalism. A range of fascinating topics are then explored, including the nature and meaning of complexity, deterministic chaos, coarse graining, scale invariance, network science, machine learning, and complex mental dynamics. These areas are linked to challenging topics in philosophical discourse, such as interlevel relations, notions of meaning, action and agency, creative insight, and understanding. This text will be of interest to students and researchers studying complex systems across a range of disciplines, from physics to cognitive science.

  • Discussions of racism and antiracism are a central part of today's national conversation. The political environment is filled with challenging questions around race and politics. This introductory textbook combines intellectual history, political biography, and philosophy in a manner that incorporates the contributions and ideas of African American political thinkers into a comprehensive, engaging narrative. Acting as a companion to primary source documents, the text frames these figures and their ideologies within their historical and political contexts. African American political thinkers throughout history have been at the forefront of considering how to counteract racism and achieve racial justice. By examining the evolution of the core figures, concepts, and movements of African American political thought over time, students will be able to apply theory to both historical and current contexts. This text provides a multicultural lens to challenge commonly held understandings of traditional western thought as future leaders tackle challenging questions.

  • Artificial intelligence is often portrayed as a force set to radically transform entrepreneurship. This book takes a more analytical approach, asking what AI truly changes-and what it does not—about the role of innovative entrepreneurs in advanced capitalist economies. Integrating AI into established economic theories of entrepreneurship, Luca Grilli develops new conceptual frameworks informed by emerging empirical evidence on the nature of AI entrepreneurship. His analysis shows how AI frequently reinforces incumbent advantage while also generating forms of systemic lock‑in around large, AI-driven ecosystems. These dynamics risk narrowing the space for genuinely innovative ideas, thereby reshaping the conditions under which entrepreneurship can thrive. Against this backdrop, The AI Entrepreneur reflects on how institutions and economic policy can safeguard space for entrepreneurial agency, preventing the AI entrepreneur from becoming a postmodern simulacrum confined within increasingly 'fenced' forms of capitalism.

Human Salvage

  • During the Second World War, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other experts confronted unprecedented numbers of patients, including distressed servicemen, bombed civilians, unaccompanied children, returning veterans, displaced persons, and Holocaust survivors. In the first comprehensive analysis of treatment during and after the war, Elizabeth Roberts-Pedersen examines how British and American experts interpreted and responded to these diverse patient populations. Looking at both combatants and civilians together, she demonstrates that wartime psychiatry was less concerned with individual suffering than with managing mental distress at scale, revealing profound tensions in psychiatric thought over the causes of wartime mental disorder and its treatment. Perhaps most significantly, Human Salvage shows how the Second World War brought mass violence into the clinical realm, transforming psychiatric theory and practice for decades to come.

  • The internet once promised to strengthen our associational life. Instead, A Bounded Web shows that digital technology has replaced bounded institutions, where members gather to make decisions together, with porous social networks that platforms administer behind the scenes. In response, scholars and policymakers tend to reduce the pathologies of digital life to technical challenges that demand technocratic solutions. Against this trend, this book offers a new approach to technology policy that emphasizes the need to rebuild diverse and robust associations both online and offline. It defends proposals ranging from smartphone bans in schools to encouraging the creation of 'middleware' and even pursuing 'digital Sabbath' policies to reshape our collective management of technology. Rigorously argued, A Bounded Web asks us to recognize what we've lost and imagine what we might build in its place.

  • The United States has fought wars throughout its history. But how has it attempted to shape a peaceful world in the wake of these conflicts? This volume explores the long US history of post-conflict diplomacy – from the early republic, through the aftermath of World War II, to recent global engagements. Through richly detailed essays, it examines how power, race, and individual agency shaped US efforts to rebuild relationships after war. Moving beyond simplistic narratives, the book reveals the complexity of forging peace and its unintended consequences. It highlights pivotal moments when alliances were born, rivalries transformed, and nongovernmental actors influenced outcomes as much as statespersons. Essential for scholars, policymakers, and readers seeking insight into how past strategies inform present decisions, this work reframes the diplomatic legacy of the United States and offers lessons for future interventions. Bold, comparative, and deeply researched, it illuminates the challenges – and possibilities – of building peace after conflict.

  • As pointed out by the editors of this unusual volume, studying the development of contemporary Spain is important to understand the challenges, dynamics and limits of political and economic modernization. The contributors of Twisted Modernization bring the theoretical and methodological toolkit of modern political economy to study Spain's long run economic (industrialization) and institutional (capacity, constitutions) processes, the evolution of its economic, political and judicial elites, and how the country's institutional legacies condition its democracy and economic outcomes to this day. Including work from over a dozen of well-known specialists and grounded in novel and systematic data, this volume provides a sober assessment of both the country's achievements and worrying future challenges. It offers key insights on the causes of democratization and growth in general and provides a model for further research on the trajectories of other countries. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
