Описание: This first book-length treatment of Thomas Aquinas’stheory of the body presents a Catholic understanding of the body and its implications for social and political philosophy. Making a fundamental contribution to antitotalitarian theory, McAleer argues that a sexual politics reliant upon Aquinas’s theory of the body is better (because less violent) than other commonly available theories. He contrasts this theory with those of four other groups of thinkers: the continental tradition represented by Kant, Schopenhauer, Merleau-Ponty, Nancy, Levinas, and Deleuze; feminism, in the work of Donna Haraway; an alternative Catholic theory to be found in Karl Rahner; and the “Radical Orthodoxy” of John Milbank.

Описание: What is a "Catholic" novel? This book analyses the fiction of Graham Greene in a radically new manner, considering in depth its form and content. Resting, as they have done, on the oppositions between secularism and religion, Sampson challenges their distinctions, arguing that Greene has a dramatic contribution to add to their methodological premises. Chapters on Greene's four "Catholic" novels and two of his "post-Catholic" novels are complemented by fresh insight into the critical importance of his non-fiction. The study paints an image of an inviting yet beguilingly complex literary figure.
Описание: Republication on the 25th Anniversary of Pretends to be Free: Runaway Slave Advertisements from Colonial and Revolutionary New York and New Jersey recognizes the signal importance of its sterling presentation of northern self-emancipation. Today, even more than a quarter-century ago, these fugitive slave notices are the best verbal snapshots of enslaved Americans before and during the American Revolution. Black allegiances during our War for Independence are now standard aspects of the revolutionary narrative. Pretends to be Free, with its illuminating glossary of forgotten terms and clothing styles, double index of names and escape methods, and useful statistics, remains the best collection available on early American self-emancipation through flight. Replete with a preface by Ed Baptist, the leading scholar of slavery and capitalism and director of a massive project aimed at digitalizing every escape notice, and with a new introduction and teacher's guide by Graham Hodges, this new edition makes this documentary study more relevant than ever. Long out-of-print, and now available in this handy reprint, Pretends to be Free offers over eight hundred notices, some with extraordinary sagas. Long before enslaved African Americans wrote their own narratives, their angry and frustrated masters and mistresses offered vivid descriptions of their bodies, personalities, clothing, skills and often their powerful interactions. Instructors can find innumerable examples or create group biographies in the classroom. Any reader will find fascinating tales of those who fled be free.
