Percy Shelley in Context
Percy Shelley was a writer in the broadest sense – poet, pamphleteer, philosopher, translator, and correspondent – and one of the most eccentric, fascinating figures of his age. Yet he is emphatically of our age too, continuing to influence contemporary writers, to be referenced in popular culture, and to inspire social and political movements. Bringing together a wide range of contributors from different critical perspectives, this vivid and acc…
Habitual Rhetoric
The Rhetorical Arts in Late Antique and Early Medieval Ireland, by Brian James Stone
The Rhetorical Arts in Late Antique and Early Medieval Ireland is a welcome addition to the history of Western rhetoric. It covers a period of Irish history—431–800 CE—that is often murky in both the public and the scholarly imaginations. There is a tendency to assume that the early Irish were sequestered on an island at the edge of the known world, enveloped in a “Celtic mist” that minimized Ireland’s contact with others (9). Being isolated in t…
Franz Rosenzweig’s Concept of Redemption as a Vehicle for Confronting the Philosophical Problem of Contemporary Transhumanism
This article presents Franz Rosenzweig’s concept of redemption as a vehicle for raising some important questions for confronting the contemporary movement of Transhumanism. The upshot of our discussion is located in the existential questions asked, following a philosophical comparison of Rosenzweig’s religious and philosophical commitment to human life in its most robust form, with Transhumanism’s scientistic vision. To do so, the article first d…
The Crucial Role of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous Leadership in Harm Reduction and Addiction Treatment
Philosophy and Praxis in the Thought of Aaron David Gordon
This paper examines the tension between philosophy and praxis in the thought of Aaron David Gordon. Highlighting the methodical character of Gordon’s philosophical understanding of human existence in terms of “man-in-nature,” I attempt to show that while his philosophy was initially meant to influence the construction of society and culture in the Land of Israel at the beginning of the twentieth century, it is particularly relevant with regard to…

Testing the liberal subject
The recent debate over the changes to the ‘Life in the UK’ citizenship test offers another opportunity to reflect on the testing of would-be citizens in liberal democracies. The citizenship test has often been understood as part of the ‘strengthening’ of national borders: set within a discourse of fears over high levels of migration and the risk to cultural homogeneity. Furthermore, it has been viewed as an illustration of the death of multicultu…
Self-reported altruistic and reciprocal behaviors among homosexually and heterosexually experienced adults
Prior studies find that gay men and lesbians volunteer in HIV/AIDS service organizations at high rates. However, no population-based study has investigated the mechanisms involved. Using data from the General Social Survey, a nationally representative biennial survey that in 2002 and 2004 interviewed 2031 sexually experienced adults, the authors examine levels of empathic concern, altruistic values, and the past year occurrence of altruistic and …
Franz Rosenzweig's Interpretation of the Creation Narrative
Aristophanes
Democratizing Science
Something very simple is at work at the source of scientific and technical thinking, very simple yet very profound, something felt as much as expressed-the mechanistic view of nature and of humankind as a part of nature. To understand a phenomenon, in this perspective, is to be able to imagine a mechanism whose action produces the phenomenon, or to be able, in some cases, even to construct the mechanism and have it produce that phenomenon (or its…

Maxwell on the Logic of Dynamical Explanation
In the course of his researches in electromagnetism and the kinetic theory of gases, James Clerk Maxwell gave some thought to the nature of science itself. His observations in this field are of interest today not only because they are his, but because they are still instructive. Maxwell's views are to be found in the many asides with which he enlivened his scientific papers and treatises and in the various articles and reviews which he prepared f…
