Dear Academic,

I am delighted to present to you our first Philosophy Catalogue. This is a rapidly growing area of publishing for us with an exciting range of new series. These specialized series demonstrate our commitment to identifying emergent and innovative areas of research, with lists that span science, religion, history and culture.

Romantic Biology, 1890–1945 is the first title in our History and Philosophy of Biology series, followed by a fascinating edited collection, Natural Kinds and Classification in Scientific Practice. We are also especially pleased with the development of our History and Philosophy of Technoscience series; this already contains six titles, with more on the way. The significant and diverse scholarly activity in this area is clearly shown by the range of titles: Scientists’ Expertise as Performance: Between State and Society, 1860–1960, Spaceship Earth in the Environmental Age, 1960–1990 and Philosophy, Computing and Information Science.

New books in Pickering Studies in Philosophy of Religion contain works on Hegel, Cambridge Platonism and Natural Theology. The first title, Ineffability and Religious Experience, has received excellent reviews. In addition I would also encourage you to look at International Perspectives on Science, Culture and Society and to find out about the latest work on the moral philosophy of Mary Wollstonecraft in The Enlightenment World series.

Considering the breadth of new work included in these pages, I trust there will be something of interest to you. I welcome new proposals for monographs and essay collections on any topic in Philosophy, so do get in touch to discuss your research and project ideas.

The Mysterious Science of the Sea, 1775–1943Natascha AdamowskyThe depths of the oceans are the last example of terra incognita on earth. Adamowsky argues that post-Enlightenment discourse on the sea was still subject to mystery and wonder, and not wholly rationalized by science. She portrays the sea as a theatre of mystery, accessible only with considerable technological effort. It is this unknowable quality which locates the sea at the intersection between science and our imagination.History and Philosophy of Technosciencec.256pp: 234x156: June 2015HB 978 1 84893 532 7: £60/$99

Spaceship Earth in the Environmental Age, 1960–1990Sabine Höhler‘Spaceship Earth’ was a key metaphor in the late twentieth-century debate over the world’s resources and the future of humankind. This idea of the earth as a vessel in space came of age in an era shaped by space travel and the Cold War. Höhler’s study innovatively brings together technology, science and ecology to explore the way this latter-day ark was invoked by politicians, environmentalists, cultural historians, writers of science fiction and many others across three decades.History and Philosophy of Technosciencec.256pp: 234x156: December 2014HB 978 1 84893 509 9: £60/$99

Scientists’ Expertise as Performance: Between State and Society, 1860–1960

Editors: Joris Vandendriessche, Evert Peeters and Kaat WilsModern society cannot function without experts and yet we increasingly question the authority of those who advise us. This study explores our reliance on experts within a historical context and across a wide range of fields, including agriculture, engineering, health sciences and labour management. Contributors argue that experts were highly aware of their audiences and used performance to gain both scientific and popular support.

Philosophy, Computing and Information ScienceEditors: Ruth Hagengruber and Uwe V RissOver the last four decades computers and the internet have become an intrinsic part of all our lives, but this speed of development has left related philosophical enquiry behind. Featuring the work of computer scientists and philosophers, these essays provide an overview of an exciting new area of philosophy that is still taking shape. Topics covered include the ontology of computing, knowledge representation and artificial intelligence.

Experiments in PracticeAstrid SchwarzTraditionally experimentation has been understood as an activity performed within the laboratory, but in the twenty-first century this view is being challenged. Schwarz uses ecological and environmental case studies to show how scientific experiments can transcend the laboratory. She explores the historical development of the concept of experimentation and argues that it is time for us to rethink the traditional Baconian view. The study offers insights into the epistemological, metaphysical and ethical implications of extending the concept of the experiment, as well as its effect on the relationship between science and society.

Error and Uncertainty in Scientific PracticeEditors: Marcel Boumans, Giora Hon and Arthur C PetersenAssessment of error and uncertainty is a vital component of both natural and social science. Empirical research involves dealing with all kinds of errors and uncertainties, yet there is significant variance in how such results are dealt with. Contributors to this volume present case studies of research practices across a wide spectrum of scientific fields, including experimental physics, econometrics, environmental science, climate science, engineering, measurement science and statistics. They compare methodologies and present the ingredients needed for an overarching framework applicable to all.

Eighteenth-Century Dissent and Cambridge PlatonismLouise HickmanHickman traces the influence that seventeenth-century Cambridge Platonists had on eighteenth-century radicalism. She shows how Platonist ideas passed from lesser known nonconformists through to more influential figures such as Mary Wollstonecraft. This new perspective on the development of natural theology not only challenges the accepted view of the Enlightenment as a period of rationalization, liberalism and increasing secularization, but also has important implications for current debates in the philosophy of religion.Pickering Studies in Philosophy of Religionc.256pp: 234x156: February 2015HB 978 1 84893 506 8: £60/$99

Hegel, Love and Forgiveness: Positive Recognition in German Idealism

Liz DisleyDisley offers a new interpretation of Hegelian recognition – a central tenet of German Idealism – focusing on positive ethical behaviours, such as love and forgiveness. Building on the work of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, Disley reassesses Hegel’s work on the subject/object dialectic and the previously neglected theological dimensions of his work. Her new interpretation offers an innovative reading of Hegel’s stance on the relationship between intersubjectivity, forgiveness and repentance in his social theory.Pickering Studies in Philosophy of Religionc.256pp: 234x156: December 2014HB 978 1 84893 520 4: £60/$99

Natural Theology in the Scientific Revolution: God’s Scientists

Katherine CallowayIn the seventeenth century new scientific discoveries called into question established Christian theology. In the past it has been claimed that contemporary thinkers contributed to this conflict model by using the discoveries of the natural world to prove the existence of God. Calloway challenges this generalized view through close examination of five key texts from the period.Pickering Studies in Philosophy of Religion: 2c.256pp: 234x156: July 2014HB 978 1 84893 464 1: £60/$99

Ineffability and Religious ExperienceGuy Bennett-HunterIneffability – that which cannot be explained in words – lies at the heart of the Christian mystical tradition. It has also been part of every discussion of religious experience since the early twentieth century. Despite this centrality, ineffability is a concept that has largely been ignored by philosophers of religion. This is the first book to engage with the concept of ineffability within contemporary philosophy of religion and provides a starting point for further scholarly debate.

Knowing Nature in Early Modern EuropeEditor: David BeckToday we are used to clear divisions between science and the arts. But early modern thinkers had no such distinctions, with ‘knowledge’ being a truly interdisciplinary pursuit. Each chapter of this collection presents a case study from a different area of knowledge, including the acceptance of the Gregorian calendar, Shakespeare’s use of science and magic in The Tempest, and the use of scripture to refute Descartes’ claims in A Discourse on Method (1637). The book comes out of an ongoing project, Scientiae, examining the nexus of Renaissance Europe and the history and philosophy of science.

The Biological Foundations of ActionDerek M JonesJones presents an innovative study into the role of action – as distinct from mere movement – in the natural world. ‘Primitive’ (non-intentional) action in humans is discussed as a form of agency common to many organisms – an area of overlap neglected in recent scholarship. This intersectional approach makes an important contribution to current philosophical debate on the nature and origins of agency.History and Philosophy of Biologyc.256pp: 234x156: July 2016HB 978 1 84893 534 1: £60/$99

Natural Kinds and Classification in Scientific PracticeEditor: Catherine KendigNatural kinds are an important topic in current philosophical debate. Previous work on kinds has looked at the relationship between concepts of kinds and the contents of the world. This edited collection examines kinds from a new focal point, that of the empirical activities and categorizations used by scientists to define them. An esteemed group of contributors explore the nature of kinds and kinding across chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, linguistics, and race and gender studies.

Romantic Biology, 1890–1945Maurizio EspositoOrganismal biology stemmed not from the work of Darwin and his circle, but was inspired by Romantic natural philosophers, embryologists, anatomists and physiologists. Esposito presents a historiography of organicist and holistic thought through an examination of the work of leading biologists from Britain (Haldane, Thompson, Russell and Woodger) and America (Ritter, Child, Lillie and Just). He shows how this work relates to earlier Romantic thought and sets it within the wider context of the history and philosophy of the life sciences.History and Philosophy of Biology: 1272pp: 234x156: 2013HB 978 1 84893 420 7: £60/$99

Intentionality and Myths of the Given: Between Pragmatism and Phenomenology

Carl B SachsIntentionality is one of the central problems of modern philosophy. How can a thought, action or belief be about something? Sachs draws on the work of Wilfrid Sellars, C I Lewis and Maurice Merleau-Ponty to build a new theory of intentionality that solves many of the problems faced by traditional conceptions. In doing so, he sheds new light on Sellars’ influential arguments concerning the ‘Myth of the Given’ and shows how we can build a productive discourse between American pragmatism, analytical philosophy and European phenomenology.

Richard Rorty, Liberalism and CosmopolitanismDavid E McCleanRichard Rorty was one of the most controversial and influential philosophers of the late twentieth century. Known primarily for his attacks on truth and the idea that knowledge is a ‘mirror of nature’, his contribution as a humanist and a great moralist has been overlooked by recent scholarship. McClean re-evaluates Rorty’s work in the light of his liberal cosmopolitan outlook, showing how it can be applied to a range of social and political issues, including international terrorism, religious fundamentalism, neo-liberalism, sexual politics and business culture.

The Globalization of Space: Foucault and Heterotopia

Editors: Mariangela Palladino and John MillerThe work of Michel Foucault has been influential in the analysis of space in a variety of disciplines, most notably in geography and politics. This collection of essays is the first to focus on what Foucault termed ‘heterotopias’, spaces that exhibit multiple layers of meaning and reveal tensions within society. Contributors explore the concept of heterotopia by examining a range of contested spaces, including floating asylums, hospitals, nomadic camps, wind farms and national borders.

Wall Street, Reforming the Unreformable: An Ethical Perspective

David E McCleanThe scandals of recent years have led to a variety of reforms to financial institutions. But without an industry-wide commitment to something other than pure profit, calls for a greater emphasis on ethics will be largely ignored. McClean argues that a collective move towards stewardship is necessary to restore ethical behaviour and public confidence. Drawing on practical examples and offering new policy recommendations, this unique philosophical study paints a picture of what a truly ethical trading culture of the future might look like.c.256pp: 234x156: March 2015HB 978 1 84893 505 1: £60/$99

Why Race and Gender Still Matter: An Intersectional Approach

Editors: Namita Goswami, Maeve M O’Donovan and Lisa YountIntersectionality, the attempt to bring theories on race, gender, disability and sexuality together, has existed for decades as a theoretical framework. Despite this it remains almost entirely absent from contemporary philosophical thinking. The essays in this volume explore how intersectionality can be applied to modern philosophy, as well as looking at other disciplines – political science, education, law, art and history – where work on philosophical intersectionalism is already developing.

Studies in American PhilosophySeries Editors: Willem deVries and Henry JackmanAmerica as a nation has had a huge influence on the development of modern philosophy. Yet it also has its own distinct philosophical tradition. Frequently associated with pragmatism, this also encompasses many other schools of thought. This series of monographs and essay collections covers all aspects of this distinctive national tradition from both historical and theoretical perspectives.

Mary Wollstonecraft and Feminist RepublicanismLena HalldeniusHalldenius explores Wollstonecraft’s political philosophy, focusing on her treatment of republicanism and independence, to propose a new way of reading her work – that of a ‘feminist republican’. Wollstonecraft’s works of fiction and non-fiction are analysed and the use of her own experience of a lack of freedom (the lot of an eighteenth-century woman) is examined as a valid line of philosophical enquiry and not – as others have viewed them – as a form of autobiography.The Enlightenment Worldc.256pp: 234x156: March 2015HB 978 1 84893 536 5: £60/$99

Dialogue, Didacticism and the Genres of Dispute: Literary Dialogues in the Age of Revolution

Adrian J WallbankFocusing on non-canonical British writers Wallbank examines the evolution of dialogue as a genre during the Romantic period. He demonstrates its influence in the development of such innovations as the realist novel, philosophical perspectivism and the advent of psychoanalysis.

‘Wallbank’s study offers an important addition to Romanticism criticism. It will enrich our understanding of the

cultural landscape of the period through its careful attention to the textual and

political nuances of a genre whose important role has too often been

overlooked.’ Paul Keen, Carleton University

Enlightenment and Modernity: The English Deists and Reform

Wayne HudsonThe writers known as the English deists were not simply religious controversialists, but agents of reform who contributed to the emergence of modernity. This title claims that these writers advocated a failed ideology which itself declined after 1730. It argues for an evolution of their ideas into a more modern form.

also the religious climate of eighteenth-century England ... essential reading.’

His subtly nuanced navigation through these arguments has much to contribute to our understanding of Victorian and Edwardian science and culture, as well as having relevance to current debates on the role of genes in determining behaviour.Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century: 17288pp: 234x156: 2013HB 978 1 84893 359 0: £60/$99

Hume and the EnlightenmentEditors: Craig Taylor and Stephen BuckleThere are many books on Hume’s philosophy, but few that deal with his influence on Enlightenment thinking and ideas more generally. The influences of Hume’s empiricism stretch from encouraging the exploration of sentiment in literature to being a forerunner to the new discipline of cognitive science. This volume of ten original essays aims to re-examine and clarify Hume’s influence on the thought and values of the Enlightenment.

The Enlightenment in America, 1720–1825Editor: Jose R TorreGiven the significance the new world held in the minds of Enlightenment thinkers, it is remarkable that scholars have not more fully documented the Enlightenment in America. So far, the body of work on the American Enlightenment has focused almost exclusively on two areas – politics and religion. In contrast, scholars have paid little attention to the polyglot efforts of American doctors, scientists, engineers, botanists, poets and other Enlightenment actors. The Enlightenment in America fills this significant gap in the discourse.

A Critical Bibliography of Adam SmithGeneral Editor: Keith TribeThe problem with Adam Smith is not one of attribution but the re-shaping of his work by the accompanying commentary and notes or the effect of translation and abridgement. This critical bibliography hopes to bring order to this process.

The Reception of Locke’s Politics: From the 1690s to the 1830s

Editor: Mark GoldieIn these volumes can be traced the manner in which Locke became both the ‘idol’ of the Whig Settlement of 1689 and the key to unravel that settlement in the name of radical populism: a Locke made safe for Whig gentlemen, as well as a Locke who, in Mary Astell’s words of 1706, prompted the question, ‘If all men are born free, how is that all women are born slaves?’ Locke is debated across a gamut of genres: in formal treatises, polemical pamphlets, newspaper essays, political sermons, and cheap tracts aimed at politicizing the masses.
