The Paradox of Love
The present work tracks some of the most well-known thinkers on love in the Western philosophical tradition, where various theories emerge, conflict, converge, and fade away. Given that many questions about its nature have persisted for centuries, love's identity appears unsettled. Due to its unresolved identity, love might be best understood as a paradox existing between its resistance to definition and yet commonly recognized and experienced. T…

A History of Atheism in Britain
Probably no doctrine has excited as much horror and abuse as atheism. This first history of British atheism, first published in 1987, tries to explain this reaction while exhibiting the development of atheism from Hobbes to Russell. Although avowed atheism appeared surprisingly late – 1782 in Britain – there were covert atheists in the middle seventeenth century. By tracing its development from so early a date, Dr Berman gives an account of an im…

The Birth of Scottish Philosophy from the Golden Age of Irish Philosophy
This essay looks at the Irish contribution to eighteenth-century Scottish philosophy. Focusing especially on the philosophical work of Francis Hutcheson, but also of George Berkeley, I try to show why the Irish influence has been occluded, and how that influence has been more considerable than has usually been supposed. Hence I oppose the idea that Ireland was intellectually asleep or dozing during the eighteenth century, an idea expressed in the…

Berkeley and Irish Philosophy
"The first essay in David Berman's new collection examines the full range of Berkeley's philosophical contribution, looking not only at his classic works of 1709-1713, but also at his later writings, particularly Alciphron (1732). The next chapter criticizes the view, still uncritically held by many, that Berkeley's attacks on materialism were levelled against Locke, that Locke was his enemy." "Part two opens with two key essays on the rich and c…
How Do Organizations Matter? Mobilization and Support for Participants at Five Globalization Protests
A key challenge to understanding the eruption of globalization protest since the late 1990s is the lack of data on the protesters themselves. Although scholars have focused increasingly on these large protest events and the transnational social movements that play a role organizing them, information about the protesters remains scant. We address this research gap by analyzing survey data collected from a random sample of protesters at five global…

Berkeley, Clayton, and an Essay on Spirit
The aim of this paper is to describe and comment on Bishop Berkeley's connection with An essay on spirit (1750) and its author. This connection, I try to show, is of interest for, among other reasons, the light it throws on the early influence of Berkeley's Siris: a chain of philosophical reflexions . . . (1744); but though the connection has been noticed, it has not been examined in any detail. I have divided the paper into two sections and an a…
