An Anthology of the Cambridge Platonists Sources and Commentary

An Anthology of the Cambridge Platonists Sources and Commentary

Notwithstanding their neglect in many histories of ideas in the West the Cambridge Platonists constitute the most significant and influential group of thinkers in the Platonic tradition between the Florentine Renaissance and the Romantic Age. This anthology offers readers a unique thematically structured compendium of their key texts along with an extensive introduction and a detailed account of their legacy.

It also highlights the Cambridge Platonists’ important role in the history of philosophy and theology influencing luminaries such as Shaftesbury Berkeley Leibniz Joseph de Maistre S. T. Coleridge and W. R. Emerson. An Anthology of the Cambridge Platonists is an indispensable guide to the serious study of a pivotal group of Western metaphysicians and is of great value for both students and scholars of philosophy literature history and theology. Key Features The only systematic anthology to the Cambridge Platonists available facilitating quick comprehension of key themes and ideas Uses new translations of the Latin works vastly improving upon faulty and misleading earlier translations Offers a wide range of new perspective on the Cambridge Platonists showing the extent of their influence in early modern philosophy and beyond. | An Anthology of the Cambridge Platonists Sources and Commentary

Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century Enquiry Controversy and Truth

Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century Enquiry Controversy and Truth

Many books have been written about nineteenth-century Oxford theology but what was happening in Cambridge? This book provides the first continuous account of what might be called 'the Cambridge theological tradition' by discussing its leading figures from Richard Watson and William Paley through Herbert Marsh and Julius Hare to the trio of Lightfoot Westcott and Hort. It also includes a chapter on nonconformists such as Robertson Smith P. T. Forsyth and T. R. Glover. The analysis is organised around the defences that were offered for the credibility of Christianity in response to hostile and friendly critics. In this period the study of theology was not yet divided into its modern self-contained areas. A critical approach to scripture was taken for granted and its implications for ecclesiology the understanding of salvation and the social implications of the Gospel were teased out (in Hort's phrase) through enquiry and controversy as a way to discover truth. Cambridge both engaged with German theology and responded positively to the nineteenth-century 'crisis of faith'. | Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century Enquiry Controversy and Truth

The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

Dividing the nation and causing massive political change the English Civil War remains one of the most decisive and dramatic conflicts of English history. Lawrence Stone's account of the factors leading up to the deposition of Charles I in 1642 is widely regarded as a classic in the field. Brilliantly synthesising the historical political and sociological interpretations of the seventeeth century Stone explores theories of revolution and traces the social and economic change that led to this period of instability. The picture that emerges is one where historical interpretation is enriched but not determined by grand theories in the social sciences and as Stone elegantly argues one where the upheavals of the seventeenth century are central to the very story of modernity. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Clare Jackson Trinity Hall Cambridge. | The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

Detente Democracy and Dictatorship

Detente Democracy and Dictatorship

The subject of Detente Democracy and Dictatorship has been with us since the breakdown of the Cold War and the termination of the Soviet system indeed if not since the origins of Bolshevism. No more vigorous critic of the uneasy co-existence of democracy and dictatorship exists than the greatest writer that the Soviet era of Russian history produced Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. This third edition is based on major addresses especially aimed at Americans delivered in 1975 in Washington D. C. and New York and again in 1978 at Harvard University in Cambridge all on the subject of detente democracy and dictatorship. It also includes Solzhenitsyn's final 2007 interview with the German publication Der Spiegel. These major statements are brilliant and forthright comment on the risks of confusing ideology with diplomacy. But more than that they summarize the Soviet debacle the theoretical underpinnings and distill Solzhenitsyn's multi-volumed masterpiece the Gulag Archipelago.

Revival: Chapters on Old English Literature (1935)

Revival: Chapters on Old English Literature (1935)

These chapters on Old English Literature are intended to fill the gap between Professor Thomas’s valuable but all too brief account in his English Literature before Chaucer and longer works such as those of Stopford Brooke and the Chapters in the first volume of the Cambridge History of English Literature. My primary object has of course been to make the works themselves known to my readers but I have also tried to trace the development of prose and poetry during the period showing in the poetry the modifications of the original Germanic character brought about by later influences of all kinds and noting those forms or features which lead on to Middle English. In dealing with the many unsettled questions I have given only the views which seem to me most important. Had I wished to do more it would obviously have been impossible in the space which I have allowed myself; but references to other works are added for a student who may wish to make a more thorough investigation of such points for himself. | Revival: Chapters on Old English Literature (1935)

Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

This volume examines the substance of European Union (EU) democracy promotion by comparing it with norms of governance that other international actors promote among them the United Nations the United States the Central and East European EU member states Russia China and non-governmental organizations. The book offers a better understanding of the EU’s democracy promotion agenda and the (in)distinctiveness of the norms diffused by the EU. Building on a common conceptual introduction the chapters follow different theoretical approaches and research designs and focus on a range of diverse case studies. The book concludes that in comparison with other international actors the EU’s conceptual approach to democracy promotion is diffuse which in turn makes the EU a particularly flexible but also ‘technical’ democracy promoter when it comes to implementation. At the same time there are limits to flexibility at the level of concepts and frames. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Cambridge Review of International Affairs. | Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

Real World AI Ethics for Data Scientists Practical Case Studies

Real World AI Ethics for Data Scientists Practical Case Studies

In the midst of the fourth industrial revolution big data is weighed in gold placing enormous power in the hands of data scientists – the modern AI alchemists. But great power comes with greater responsibility. This book seeks to shape in a practical diverse and inclusive way the ethical compass of those entrusted with big data. Being practical this book provides seven real-world case studies dealing with big data abuse. These cases span a range of topics from the statistical manipulation of research in the Cornell food lab through the Facebook user data abuse done by Cambridge Analytica to the abuse of farm animals by AI in a chapter co-authored by renowned philosophers Peter Singer and Yip Fai Tse. Diverse and inclusive given the global nature of this revolution this book provides case-by-case commentary on the cases by scholars representing non-Western ethical approaches (Buddhist Jewish Indigenous and African) as well as Western approaches (consequentialism deontology and virtue). We hope this book will be a lighthouse for those debating ethical dilemmas in this challenging and ever-evolving field. | Real World AI Ethics for Data Scientists Practical Case Studies
