Dead End of the Rainbow
In China, the correlation between environmental space and drug use by gay male sex workers remains an under-researched public health concern. Drugs are commonly used to enhance sexual performance as well as provide feelings of euphoria but they also increase the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV. The spatial and environmental factors that create synergies between drug consumption and sex work are explored through qualitative data ob…
The New Cambridge History of the Bible
This volume charts the Bible's progress from the end of the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment. During this period, for the first time since antiquity, the Latin Church focused on recovering and re-establishing the text of Scripture in its original languages. It considered the theological challenges of treating Scripture as another ancient text edited with the tools of philology. This crucial period also saw the creation of many definitive translat…

The Social Universe of the English Bible
Some translations of the Bible make astonishing accommodations with their contemporary society. In a very literal sense of ‘translate’, Clarence Jordan carried Israel to the Georgia of the black communities that he wrote for in The Cotton Patch Bible: Jerusalem became Atlanta, Jesus was lynched rather than crucified. The early English translators, from the Wycliffite versions to the King James Bible, made similar moves, readily seen in the way so…

Keeping the Journal Alive
Keeping the Journal Alive David Fate Norton (bio) I have been asked to say a few words about the founding of the Journal of the History of Philosophy, to reflect on my editorship, and to comment on “how the Journal has developed and changed over the years.” I will have space to say very little about the last item, and so I have confined my essay to three sometimes overlapping parts: 1. The Founding of the Journal and its Early Years at the Univer…

The People of the Standing Stone
Karim M. Tiro's The People of the Standing Stone contributes to discussion of the interplay between the Oneida (a Native American tribe in northeastern North America) and European colonists. Sufficient primary sources have survived to enable Tiro to provide a well-documented picture of the interaction between these two cultures from the mid-eighteenth century (when the Oneida were loyal to the Iroquois Confederacy) to the late eighteenth century …
The King James Bible
The King James Bible was the result of an extraordinary effort over nearly a century to make many good English translations and turn them into what the translators called 'one principal good one, not justly to be excepted against'. David Norton traces the work of Tyndale and his successors, analysing the translation and revisions of two representative passages. His fascinating new account follows in detail the creation of the KJB, including atten…

A Textual History of the King James Bible
David Norton re-edited the King James Bible for Cambridge, and this 2005 book arose from his intensive work on that project. Here he shows how the text of the most important Bible in the English language was made, and how, for better and for worse, it changed in the hands of printers and editors until, in 1769, it became the text we know today. Using evidence as diverse as the manuscript work of the original translators, and the results of extens…
‘Never perfectly printed’
The text is the editor's introduction to The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible to be published in 2004. THOUGH it is the most important book in the religious life and the culture of the English-speaking world, the King James Bible or Authorised Version of 1611 has never been perfectly printed. This is not to say either that it is badly printed or that absolute perfection can be achieved, but that the text and its presentation can be improved. First, …

Thomas Reid on Adam Smith's Theory of Morals
1. Given respect which Thomas Reid evinced for Adam Smith and Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS), and care which Reid's work generally shows, suggestion that Reid in his lectures revealed himself a careless expositor and critic of Smith is surprising.' Further, there is good evidence that Reid did not enter lightly upon treatment of Smith's theory. In a lined-out passage from his lecture notes for February 19, 1765, Reid complains cautiously (And h…

1. The Importance of The New Machiavelli THE winter and early spring of 1912-13 is a time of particular interest in Lawrence's career as a writer. Sons and Lovers was finished; he began the abortive 'Life of Robert Burns' and The Lost Girl, but, most importantly, he began the work that became The Rainbow and Women in Love, then called The Sisters. Although the writing of these was a long process and Lawrence later wrote of The Sisters having 'qui…

Hume’s Common Sense Morality
Hume's moral theory, I shall here argue, is explicitly and in fundamental ways a common sense theory. It is widely accepted, of course, that Hume found moral distinctions to rest on sentiment, and that he found in the principle of sympathy the means by which individual sentiments come to be experienced by others. What has not received adequate attention is Hume's concern to refute moral skepticism and his explicit reliance on appeals to “common s…

Hutcheson's Moral Sense Theory Reconsidered
There is no more central feature of Francis Hutcheson's moral philosophy than his theory of the moral sense. In the past this sense or faculty was widely understood to be a distinctive and independent sense devoted to the apprehension of moral qualities, but William Frankena has in recent years challenged this traditional view of Hutcheson's theory, and offered in its place an emotivist interpretation. Without question Frankena's study was of the…

Oil in the Arctic 1. Historical, Environmental and Regional Perspectives
An ecologist's point of view of the historical, scientific and social background to the Alaskan pipeline and offshore oil is presented ranging over many discipline and their close interplay. Starting with a deep concern about the protection of the Arctic's unique environment and the oil industry's impact upon it, the work of the Alaska Conservation Society is reviewed. The lack of biological information about Alaska's hinterland made environmenta…
