Whitehead and the Pittsburgh School: Preempting the Problem of
Intentionality proposes a revisionary history of the relationship
between Alfred North Whitehead and analytic philosophy, as well as
a constructive proposal for how thinking with Whitehead can help
disabuse analytic philosophy of the problem of intentionality. Lisa
Landoe Hedrick defines "analytic" philosophy as primarily the
intellectual tradition that runs from Gottlob Frege to Bertrand
Russell to Wilfrid Sellars, or, geographically speaking, from
Vienna to Cambridge to Pittsburgh between the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. As key members of the Pittsburgh School of
philosophy, Robert Brandom and John McDowell pick up the Sellarsian
project of reconciling nature and normativity in different ways,
yet each of them presupposes a problematic relationship between
language and the world precisely bequeathed to them by an implicit
metaphysics of subjecthood that characterized analytic thinkers of
the early twentieth century. Hedrick both investigates Whitehead's
published and archived critiques of early analytic thought-as an
extension of a wider critique of modern philosophy-and employs
Whitehead to reimagine nature and normativity after the problem of
intentionality by way of his aesthetics of symbolism. This book
thereby builds upon a burgeoning effort among philosophers to
interface process and analytic thought, but it is the first to
focus on contemporary analytic thinkers.

By utilizing the contributions of a variety of scholars -
theologians, historians, and biblical scholars - this book makes
the complex and sometimes disparate Anabaptist movement more easily
accessible. It does this by outlining Anabaptism's early history
during the Reformation of the sixteenth century, its varied and
distinctive theological convictions, and its ongoing challenges to
and influence on contemporary Christianity. T&T Clark Handbook
of Anabaptism comprises four sections: 1) Origins, 2) Doctrine, 3)
Influences on Anabaptism, and 4) Contemporary Anabaptism and
Relationship to Others. The volume concludes with a chapter on how
contemporary Anabaptists interact with the wider Church in all its
variety. While some of the authorities within the volume will
disagree even with one another regarding Anabaptist origins,
emphases on doctrine, and influence in the contemporary world, such
differences represent the diversity that constitutes the history of
this movement.
What did Paul mean when he wrote that the foolishness of God is
wiser than human wisdom? Through close analysis of the
sixteenth-century reception of Paul's discourses of folly, this
book examines the role of the New Testament in the development of
what Erasmus and John Calvin refer to as the "Christian
philosophy." Erasmus and Calvin on the Foolishness of God reveals
the importance of Pauline rhetoric in the development of humanist
critiques of scholasticism while charting the formation of a
specifically affective approach to religious epistemology and
theological method. As the first book-length examination of
Calvin's indebtedness to Erasmus, which also considers the
participation of Bullinger, Pellikan, and Melanchthon in an
Erasmian exegetical milieu, it is a case study in the complicated
cross-confessional exchange of ideas in the sixteenth century. Kirk
Essary examines assumptions about the very nature of theology in
the sixteenth century, how it was understood by leading humanist
reformers, and how ideas about philosophy and rhetoric were
received, appropriated, and shared in a complex intellectual and
religious context.
