Consciousness

Consciousness

What is the nature of subjectivity intersubjectivity and objectivity? And what is the relation of brain studies to individual experience? How can we avoid the mysteries of dualism and the implausibilities of reductionism? How do Eastern and Western conceptions of mind consciousness and self differ? These are the kind of dizzying questions that are asked by those working in consciousness studies. They are foundational for psychological science and now to meet the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject’s vast literature and the continuing explosion in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research output Routledge announces a new title in its Critical Concepts in Psychology series. Edited by Max Velmans a leading authority Consciousness is a new four-volume collection of the canonical and the very best cutting-edge scholarship in the field. It provides a synoptic view of all the key issues and current debates as well as guidance to likely future developments. With comprehensive introductions newly written by the editor which place the collected materials in their historical and intellectual context Consciousness is an essential work of reference. It is destined to be valued by psychologists and neuroscientists—as well as those working in related areas of philosophy—as a vital research resource.

Philosophy of Emotion

Philosophy of Emotion

Emotions punctuate almost all significant events in our lives but their nature causes and consequences are among the least well understood aspects of human experience. It is easier to express emotions than to describe them and even harder to analyse and explain them. Despite their apparent familiarity emotions are an extremely subtle and complex topic. Unfortunately the topic was neglected by philosophers and scientists in the past. In recent decades however interest in the emotions has grown considerably among scholars and students from many disciplines as well as among the public at large. If there is to be any progress in this theoretically and practically important field not only is a broad philosophical examination of basic concepts and issues essential (drawing both on analytical philosophy and phenomenology) but also an interdisciplinary approach that combines philosophical analysis with other types of scientific research (such as psychology anthropology history sociology and brain sciences). The clarification of basic emotional concepts as well as the unification of linguistic usages across disciplines and natural languages are necessary for integrating the growing body of interdisciplinary emotional research (e. g. does the traditional German Gefühl correspond to feeling or to emotion? and what about Stimmung?). The contemporary philosophy of emotions is equipped for this integrative task. It can provide us with a better and more comprehensive picture of the nature of emotions.

Islam and Modernity

Islam and Modernity

The relationship between Islam and modernity has generated and rich but complex literature. While competing accounts sometimes appear incommensurable there is at least some convergence on the view that Islam and modernity reflect an unsettled encounter. For some this is self-evident because the relationship rests on contested foundational questions not least: whose modernity and which Islam? For others it is a less a theoretical and more a historical issue in so far as there has been a process underway in which Islam has proved slow in ‘catching up’. This Major Work gives space to an evolving conversation between Islam and four component parts of modernity. It has a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context.

Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

Originally published between 1927 and 1933 the 15 volumes in this set cover the whole ground of the Revolution the early history of Bolshevism and the state of Russia in the late 1920s and early 1930s. They present a broad panorama in which real problems are set against an historical background examining life under Bolshevism discussing the limitations in practice of Bolshevist politics the reality of the Soviet elections of the early 1920s and the growing influence of the Communist Party. Many of the books focus on aspects which the authors feel are of particular significance to Western readers and many such as the volume covering the Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1919 show what many people in Western Europe were unaware of at the time: namely that one of the main prinicples behind the Bolshevist system was brutal force. Some of the volumes cover the Five-Year Plan in relation to industry agriculture labour banking and the budget but legal political and sociological aspects of the country are also covered. Importantly the direction US foreign policy should take in relation to Russia is also discussed – something which clearly has an enduring relevance today some 70 years after these books were first published. | Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

Aphasia

Aphasia

Aphasia—from the Greek aphatos (‘speechless’)—describes impairments and disabilities in the use of language arising from for example strokes trauma tumours surgery or progressive brain deterioration. It includes problems with the expression and comprehension of language in speech reading writing and signing. Research in and around aphasia continues to flourish such that even for specialist aphasiologists it is extremely hard to keep up to date with developments. There is a real threat of laboratory-based human research neuropsychology computational-modelling research and brain-imaging studies proceeding in ignorance of each other. Indeed the sheer scale of the growth in cognitive neuroscience makes this collection especially timely and welcome; it permits ready access to the most influential and important works across the full breadth of the discipline. The materials gathered in Volume I include explorations of the foundations of aphasiology. The major works collected in the second volume examine theoretical developments while Volume III is organized around contemporary issues in aphasiology. The final volume makes sense of clinical issues such as recovery assessment and rehabilitation. With a full index together with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context Aphasia is an essential work of reference. For researchers and advanced students it is a vital one-stop research and instructional resource.

Military History

Military History

Addressing the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature Military History is a new title from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Military Strategic and Security Studies series. Edited by Jeremy Black (‘the most prolific historical scholar of our age’) it is a four-volume collection which brings together the very best scholarship in a one-stop ‘mini library’ of major works. Black avers that military history is increasingly seen as a global enterprise and Eurocentric/Western perspectives and paradigms often now appear questionable if not redundant. Moreover a teleology of warfare leading towards the total warfare of the twentieth century—the two world wars and the Cold War—appears far less convincing he says in light of developments since 1990. This kind of re-examination of long-held assumptions about military history has guided the selection of materials which are organized chronologically but with abundant cross-referencing to enable users to pursue thematic approaches. The focus is on major works published since 1990 first to centre on current research questions and perspectives and secondly because earlier literature can be followed through these pieces. Military History is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential reference work and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital research and pedagogic resource.

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Despite the fact that the appropriation of land and resources of the so-called New World necessarily involved the dispossession and exploitation (and sometimes genocide) of the original inhabitants of colonized nations it was not until the late twentieth century that Indigenous Peoples attained any meaningful degree of legal recognition in both national and international spheres. Until then Indigenous Peoples (also known as ‘First Nations’ and ‘First Peoples’) were routinely denied any form of juridical identity. Research in and around Indigenous Peoples and the Law is now very wide-ranging and flourishes as never before. But much of the relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized and compartmentalized so that it is difficult for many of those who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed balanced and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection meets the need for an authoritative anthology to make sense of the subject’s vast and dispersed literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Drawing on a wide variety of materials from a broad range of disciplines and theoretical approaches the collection gathers canonical and cutting-edge major works in a ‘one-stop’ resource to enable users to understand how the law Indigenous Peoples encounter has been transformed from an oppressive rights-denying system to a site of contestation and for the articulation of claims. The collection includes a full index and is supplemented by introductions to each volume newly written by the editors which place the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indigenous Peoples and the Law is an essential reference work which will be valued as a vital resource by students scholars policy-makers and practitioners.
