Eclogarum Physicarum Et Ethicarum Libri Duo (1792)

'According to common sense, we human beings can reliably perceive physical objects; we can acquire true beliefs (and sometimes knowledge) about the external world; we can act in the world on the basis of our desires and beliefs; we are sometimes responsible for what we do because we have free will; certain things are good or bad, and certain acts are right or wrong, and these are facts which do not depend on our attitudes or beliefs and facts about which we can be correct or mistaken. These doctrines have been relentlessly attacked by legions of philosophers from ancient times to the present. In the tradition of Aristotle, Thomas Reid, and G. E. Moore, Stephen Boulter mounts a formidable defense of commonsense philosophy, drawing on rigorous philosophical argument and recent scientific research, including evolutionary biology and psychology.

'Lord Kames argued that 2000 years is too great a distance in time for the passions, and that our sympathy for Lucretia is nil unless it can be excited by other means. Andrew Rudd argues that distance in space is likewise a serious impediment to sympathy, and that even the most active imagination is thwarted in its efforts to compassionate misery and injustice inflicted far away in South Asia. He gives detailed examples of how authors such as Campbell, Jones and Burke tried to overcome the difficulty, but in the end the global possibilities of sentiment are blocked by the allure of domesticity and the sinister elements of the exotic. Rudd joins a cadre of scholars probing the limits of historical cosmopolitanism, testing some of the more facile claims for a global history and a global sensibility.' - Jonathan Lamb, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, Vanderbilt University, USA

'Andrew Rudd illuminates the nexus of sympathy connecting Romantic Britain to its newly-acquired empire in India, from the era of Hastings and Jones to Southey and Moore. This study of colonial affect will be essential reading for all scholars of Romantic orientalism.' - Professor Nigel Leask, Regius Professor of English Language and Literature, University of Glasgow, UK

'In Sympathy and India in British Literature, Andrew Rudd offers a finely chiseled analysis of the challenges that geographically and culturally remote India posed to British imaginative sympathy and traces the shifts in the object of sympathy between the cosmopolitan spirit of the late eighteenth century and the gothic imagery of the nineteenth. Close and insightful readings of texts from Edmund Burke and Sir William Jones to James Mill and Thomas Moore are set in a broad context that productively and convincingly brings into play an array of factors from aesthetics to colonial policy to the demands of the book market. An enlightening and rewarding read.' - Rosane Rocher, Professor Emerita of South Asia Studies, University of Pennsylvania

'Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates through professionals, this book contains an excellent, extensive bibliography that will provide the advanced student or scholar with numerous resources for in-depth analysis of many important contemporary issues.' - G.M. Greenberg, Choice

'Gender and Colonialism provides an excellent overview of liberation psychology from a feminist perspective. In the fashion of a Psychological Bulletin article - extended to book format - it gives a meaningfully organized, well-written, systematic and creative summary of the literature in this research domain.' - T. Teo, Theory and Psychology

'It is a wide-ranging reference text, excellent for teaching purposes.' - M. McDermott, Women's Studies International Forum

'Moane's book makes a significant contribution to a necessary discussion of oppression and liberation in psychology.'
- S. Austin, Feminism and Psychology

'Moane's book will appeal to a wide audience ..her book is thus both practical and visionary.' - B. Bayer, Irish Journal of Feminist Studies

'This is an outstanding contribution to the field of liberation psychology. Moane leads the way in integrating psychological, cultural, and political oppression. She links personal emancipation with collective liberation in theroretical and practical ways. I urge all psychologists and individuals committed to promoting well-being with justice to read this book. Like the first edition, this volume is rich in scholarship and inspiration.' - Isaac Prilleltensky, Erwin and Barbara Mautner Chair in Community Well-Being and Dean, School of Education, University of Miami, USA

'In 1999 Geraldine Moane presented a book that was ahead of its time in the sense that it was introducing not only the idea of liberation as it was being developed in psychology, but also showing how it could be applied. Now Moane, in this new version of that work, is including the advances created around the world, during the past ten years. The readers will find an ample revision of the current situation of liberation within psychology, connecting it, as before, with the theory and practice of feminism and with the colonialism critique, whose processes and practices are analysed. Particularly interesting is the way the author generates a praxis (practice producing theory; theory giving way to practice), showing how engaged work with oppressed and excluded groups can be carried out; something especially useful for practitioners and researchers. Thus, the reader will also find in this book not only up-to-date information about the psychology of liberation, but about the levels of change (personal, interpersonal and political), produced in the application of psychology with a liberating orientation, along with a discussion about the transformations happening in both individuals and society.' - Dr Maritza Montero, Universidad Central de Venezuela, South America

'Drawing on community, critical, peace, human rights, and gay-lesbian psychologies as framed by liberation and feminist struggles the author demonstrates the dialectic of personal and structural transformations as they have been envisioned and engaged through political struggle. The Irish experience that grounds this deeply theoretical analysis makes this book a rare and important contribution to liberation and feminist psychologies from the English speaking world.' - Professor M. Brinton Lykes, Boston College Lynch School of Education, USA
