Laughing at Hypocrisy
This article considers The Turncoats (1711), an anti-Dissent graphic satire published after the Tory victory in the 1710 General Election. The print ridiculed the hypocrisy of those Dissenters who abandoned their principles and conformed to the Church of England after that election, and pointed to the pervasiveness of religious hypocrisy in early eighteenth-century England more generally. This article contextualizes the print within the tense rel…
Forças Sociais Na Luta Pela Hegemonia
Partindo de Gramsci e da teoria crítica das RI, Morton compreende que a hegemonia opera em dois níveis: "construindo um bloco histórico e estabelecendo a coesão social dentro de uma forma de
Interlocuções Com a Revolução Passiva
Este artigo se engaja criticamente com os debates sobre o desenvolvimento desigual e combinado e particularmente a falta de atenção dada nesta literatura às considerações da diversidade espacial na expansão externa do capitalismo, bem como as questões de eurocentrismo. Por meio de interlocuções com Antonio Gramsci sobre sua teorização da formação do Estado e da modernidade capitalista e a noção de revolução passiva, extraímos a relação interna en…
Memory and the English Reformation
The dramatic religious revolutions of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries involved a battle over social memory. On one side, the Reformation repudiated key aspects of medieval commemorative culture; on the other, traditional religion claimed that Protestantism was a religion without memory. This volume shows how religious memory was sometimes attacked and extinguished, while at other times rehabilitated in a modified guise. It investigates ho…
The Power of Laughter and Satire in Early Modern Britain
This interdisciplinary collection considers the related topics of satire and laughter in early modern Britain through a series of case studies ranging from the anti-monastic polemics of the early Reformation to the satirical invasion prints of the Napoleonic wars. Moving beyond the traditional literary canon to investigate printed material of all kinds, both textual and visual, it considers satire as a mode or attitude rather than a literary genr…
Illustrated Religious Texts in the North of Europe, 1500-1800
Illustrated Religious Texts in the North of Europe, 1500-1800 provides a new perspective on the role of visual imagery in the Reformation period by focusing on international forms of collaboration, and makes a significant contribution to ongoing debates concerning the history of the book by focusing on the ideological as well as practical side of i
Popery, politics, and play
This article assesses the place of graphic satire in the burgeoning news culture of late seventeenth-century England. It argues that historians who have used visual sources as typical of party positions in a manner similar to modern political posters underestimate the sophistication of their interventions into politics. Graphic satires did not simply distil already existing ideologies into easily digestible images, but made significant contributi…
Shared Agency
We all agree that the ability to act together with others is a fundamental human characteristic, one that comes easily to members of our species and which is central to our survival and flourishing. There is less agreement about how to understand this evident fact. At one extreme, one could take it as a consequence of a capacity for strategic thinking, facilitated no doubt by suitable heuristics and shortcuts. Many economists would choose this op…

The Roots of Evil
Imagination and Misimagination
This chapter tries to say what it is to misimagine another person's mind. The idea that misimagination of mind is possible, that there is a difference between correct or accurate imagination of another and faulty imagination, is not obviously right. A defence of the possibility of misimagination is constructed in terms of one person's grasp of the perspectives in terms of which another operates. The chapter also discusses ways in which we systema…

Modal Realism
Geller came closer to actual qualification than ever did. Very few could have expected that the so-far undefeated Portisch would suffer his first and only defeat just in the last round against Polugaev- sky, thus allowing the uncertainty of further competition in which either he, Polugaevsky or Geller would be eliminated from the candi- dates. Later, in Portoroz, if Geller had only whispered to Portisch the word draw! few seconds before his flag …
The Paradox of Self-Consciousness

Why there is no Concept of a Person
It is easy to imagine thinking creatures that are not biologically human. Every human culture has imagined them: gods and demons, ogres and sprites, benevolent and malicious spirits, angels, centaurs and houyhnhnms, trolls. They are particularly familiar from Greek and Roman mythology. And it is very natural to use the ease with which we can imagine such creatures as a way of making plausible two conclusions, which are attractive in their own rig…

Saving epistemology from the epistemologists
This is a very selective survey of developments in epistemology, concentrating on work from the past twenty years that is of interest to philosophers of science. The selection is organized around interesting connections between distinct themes. I first connect issues about skepticism to issues about the reliability of belief-acquiring processes. Next I connect discussions of the defeasibility of reasons for belief to accounts of the theory-indepe…

Practical Rationality and Preference
What are preferences and are they reasons for action? Is it rational to cooperate with others even if that entails acting against one's preferences? The dominant position in philosophy on the topic of practical rationality is that one acts so as to maximize the satisfaction of one's preferences. This view is most closely associated with the work of David Gauthier, and in this collection of essays some of the most innovative philosophers working i…
