An Introduction to Ethics

Herman Waetjen once again rewards his readers with not merely the challenge but also an accessible yet profoundly informed reading of a biblical text. This time he turns his erudition and discerning eye to the Fourth Gospel, and he emerges from this mine, as well, with precious ore.  Scholars and students alike not only will acquire valuable capital by investing time in Herman's project, but they will also acquire tools for their own creative engagement of life rather than a call to escape from the terrors of history.  Herman encounters dichotomies and dualisms and shows us how to view them constructively as complementarities and dialectical adventures. In a world of simplistic hard-line alternatives, it is refreshing and empowering to encounter a challenge to do the rigorous work of (re-)engaging of, and (re-)thinking about, what we thought were settled issues to discover new light and true riches.

The United Kingdom and The Federal Idea

In this wonderfully provocative study, Robert Pippin explores three of Sirk’s most famous American melodramas, finding in their excesses and irony a philosophical rigour. Ingeniously, Pippin explains how Sirk’s sumptuously pessimistic world forecloses, for the characters, any real possibility of love, mutuality and self-knowledge, despite the putative happy endings. For viewers willing to give Sirk’s films a “second” or “third thought”, however, Pippin teaches us to see past the surface of bourgeois morality and discover a more difficult but worthwhile reckoning with “the politics of American emotional life” and our own complicities with its sympathetic registers.

In this through and detailed account of Eric Rohmer’s three great film cycles, The Moral Tales, Comedies and Proverbs, and The Tales of the Four Seasons, Vittorio Hösle demonstrates how Rohmer undertook one of the great studies of modern erotic life in his cinematic depictions of love relations between men and women. Understanding Rohmer as both a Catholic filmmaker and as well versed in the Germanic philosophical tradition, Hösle shows us how his acutely realist films, always based in a recognizable time and place, nevertheless offer a view of the metaphysical, spiritual and transcendent possibilities that may lie behind our romantic and amorous entanglements. This engaging book encourages us to return to Rohmer’s films with a vivid understanding of both their suggestive religious and philosophical resonances and their sympathy with the complexities of the human condition.

[Caston’s] interpretative notes are consistently relevant and useful, providing welcome elaborations and expansions of Alexander’s often very compressed arguments. He also does an excellent job of identifying Alexander’s interlocutors, including Stoics and Platonists as well as fellow Aristotelians . . . This edition of one of the most important discussions of the soul from late antiquity offers an excellent translation, a clear introduction, and notes providing detailed interpretations and cross-references. The volume upholds the high standards of the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle project and should be of interest to all ancient and medieval scholars working on philosophy of mind.
