The communitarian critic of liberalism argues that the
socio-political context is fundamental to any understanding of the
individual as such. This debate is advanced by particularising it
to the experience of Jews in the modern world. Essays focus on the
variety of views of the relationships between the individual Jew
and the communities, religious and secular, of which he or she is a
member.
In this innovative volume contemporary philosophers respond to
classic works of Jewish philosophy. For each of twelve central
topics in Jewish philosophy, Jewish philosophical readings, drawn
from the medieval period through the twentieth century, appear
alongside an invited contribution that engages both the readings
and the contemporary philosophical literature in a constructive
dialogue. The twelve topics are organized into four sections, and
each section commences with an overview of the ensuing dialogue and
concludes with a list of further readings. The introduction to the
volume assesses the current state of Jewish philosophy and argues
for a deeper engagement with analytic philosophy, exemplified by
the new contributions. Jewish Philosophy Past and Present:
Contemporary Responses to Classical Sources is a cutting edge work
of Jewish philosophy, and, at the same time, an engaging
introduction to the issues that animated Jewish philosophers for
centuries and to the texts that they have produced. It is designed
to set the agenda in Jewish philosophy for years to come.
Jewish philosophy is often presented as an addendum to Jewish
religion rather than as a rich and varied tradition in its own
right, but the History of Jewish Philosophy explores the entire
scope and variety of Jewish philosophy from philosophical
interpretations of the Bible right up to contemporary Jewish
feminist and postmodernist thought. The links between Jewish
philosophy and its wider cultural context are stressed, building up
a comprehensive and historically sensitive view of Jewish
philosophy and its place in the development of philosophy as a
whole. Includes: Detailed discussions of the most important Jewish
philosophers and philosophical movements Descriptions of the social
and cultural contexts in which Jewish philosophical thought
developed throughout the centuries Contributions by 35 leading
scholars in the field, from Britain, Canada, Israel and the US

Baruch Spinoza is one of the most influential and controversial
political philosophers of the early modern period. Though
best-known for his contributions to metaphysics, Spinoza's
Theological-Political Treatise (1670) and his unfinished Political
Treatise (1677) were widely debated and helped to shape the
political writings of philosophers as diverse as Rousseau, Kant,
Marx, Nietzsche, and (although he publicly denied it) even Locke.
In addition to its enormous historical importance, Spinoza's
political philosophy is also strikingly contemporary in its
advocacy of toleration of unpopular religious and political views
and his concern with stabilizing religiously diverse democratic
societies. The first Guidebook to Spinoza's political writings, The
Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to Spinoza on Politics covers the
following key points: Spinoza's life and the background to his
philosophy the key themes and arguments of the
Theological-Political-Treatise and Political Treatise the
continuing importance of Spinoza's work to philosophy. This book is
an ideal starting point for anyone new to Spinoza and essential
reading for students of political philosophy and
seventeenth-century philosophy.
Moses Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed (c. 1190) is the greatest
and most influential text in the history of Jewish philosophy.
Controversial in its day, the Guide directly influenced Aquinas,
Spinoza, and Leibniz, and the history of Jewish philosophy took a
decisive turn after its appearance. While there continues to be
keen interest in Maimonides and his philosophy, this is the first
scholarly collection in English devoted specifically to the Guide.
It includes contributions from an international team of scholars
addressing the most important philosophical themes that range over
the three parts of this sprawling work - including topics in the
philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of
law, ethics, and political philosophy. There are also essays on the
Guide's hermeneutic puzzles, and on its overall structure and
philosophical trajectory. The volume will be of interest to
philosophers, Judaists, theologians, and medievalists.
"Collective behavior" can be defined as human individuals acting
together in groups; these groups can be as small as three people,
or as large as millions of people. Collective behavior is also
concerned with animals forming swarms and flocks, neurons firing in
synchrony, and chemical and biochemical particles with on-board
energy depots acting together as a whole. As such, collective
behavior refers to units (humans, animals, neurons, biochemical
substances, etc.) interacting with each other to form a whole. In
physics, collective phenomena have been studied for a long time for
systems that are in thermodynamic equilibrium. Magnetism produced
by the alignment of elementary spins is a well-known example. In
contrast, in this book, collective behavior refers to systems
composed of units that operate far from thermodynamical
equilibrium. It is about lifeforms and active biochemical
substances. This book presents recent developments in the research
field of collective behavior. Various disciplines are addressed,
ranging from economy, leisure sciences, and psychology to
neurosciences, physics and biology. This book is intended both for
the general reader interested in collective behavior and for the
quantitative researcher looking for an update in this rapidly
developing field. This book has two parts. The first part presents
theoretical fundamentals and concepts. The second part provides
chapters with mathematical modeling and simulations. Although the
individual chapters of this book report from a variety of research
disciplines, the chapters are interconnected with each other and
give rise to a general picture of the state-of-the-art research on
collective behavior.

Analyses of different aspects of the history of warfare in the
Mediterranean in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The kingdom of
Sicily plays a huge part in the history of the Norman people; their
conquest brought in a new era of invasion, interaction and
integration in the Mediterranean, However, much previous
scholarship has tended to concentrate on their activities in
England and the Holy Land. This volume aims to redress the balance
by focusing on the Hautevilles, their successors and their
followers. It considers the operational, tactical, technical and
logistical aspects of the conduct of war in the South throughout
the eleventh and twelfth centuries, looking also at its impact on
Italian and Sicilian multi-cultural society. Topics include the
narratives of the Norman expansion, exchanges and diffusion between
the "military cultures" of the Normans and the peoples they
encountered in the South, and their varied policies of conquest,
consolidation and expansion in the different operational theatres
of land and sea.
Gegenwartige Zeitdiagnosen sehen sich haufig durch das Religioese
herausgefordert und stellen es in den Mittelpunkt einer Analyse der
modernen Gesellschaft. Daneben entwickelt sich in den letzten
Jahren eine soziologische Theorierichtung, die eng am Begriff der
Praxis ausgerichtet ist und vor allem in ihrer postkolonialen
Ausformung universellen Gesellschaftsdiagnosen hoechst skeptisch
gegenubersteht. Diese Ansatze kommen zu Neudefinitionen
soziologischer Grundbegriffe, indem sie etwa die Rolle der
menschlichen Koerper und der materialen Dinge bei der Entstehung
und Reproduktion von Praktiken und Praxisformen zentral
thematisieren. Die praxistheoretische Perspektive verspricht, so
die Ausgangshypothese des Bandes, nicht nur hinsichtlich der
Thematisierung des Religioesen fruchtbare Anknupfungspunkte fur die
Religionssoziologie zu liefern, sondern zeigt ausserdem, wie sich
die Axiome des klassischen Modernitatsdiskurses praxistheoretisch
revidieren oder moeglicherweise neu fassen lassen.
The scientific study of networks - computer, social, and biological
- has received an enormous amount of interest in recent years.
However, the network approach has been applied to the field of
animal behaviour relatively late compared to many other biological
disciplines. Understanding social network structure is of great
importance for biologists since the structural characteristics of
any network will affect its constituent members and influence a
range of diverse behaviours. These include finding and choosing a
sexual partner, developing and maintaining cooperative
relationships, and engaging in foraging and anti-predator behavior.
This novel text provides an overview of the insights that network
analysis has provided into major biological processes, and how it
has enhanced our understanding of the social organisation of
several important taxonomic groups. It brings together researchers
from a wide range of disciplines with the aim of providing both an
overview of the power of the network approach for understanding
patterns and process in animal populations, as well as outlining
how current methodological constraints and challenges can be
overcome. Animal Social Networks is principally aimed at graduate
level students and researchers in the fields of ecology, zoology,
animal behaviour, and evolutionary biology but will also be of
interest to social scientists.
How do we recognize error in our thinking? How can we enjoy the
spiritual benefits of practicing our religion while not condemning
the religion of others? These questions, and so much more, are
addressed in the eighty-one commentaries included in this book.
These commentaries refer to, but are independent of, the
illuminating and compelling essay collection about Lao-tzu's Tao Te
Ching, as voiced in Change Your Thoughts-Change Your Life by Dr.
Wayne W. Dyer. Living "right," according to the Tao, anticipates
that we have both the understanding needed to make right choices
and the knowledge to recognize the types of behavior that are
important for us to change. However, of equal or greater
significance to these skills are the feelings that drive our
internal motivation at our center. Many of us need to learn the
life lessons that keep popping up as issues in our lives. They keep
resurfacing again and again until we finally recognize the lessons
and actually learn them. We know we have really been learning our
lessons when we notice that our intentions are genuinely beginning
to change. Not learning them holds us hostage and keeps us
repeating the same dumb behavior. Each commentary has at least one
labeled graphic that represents one or more aspect of the main idea
of each section. The purpose of these graphics is to provide
visualization for what otherwise might remain more abstract . We
have absolutely no concept of how the connections we feel and know
to be real actually come about, between ourselves and others,
between us and the happenings of life, or between us and God. We
often describe these feelings or experiences as resulting from some
type of energy, but what might that really mean? Reflecting this
unexplainable, invisible, but vital connection on the written page
through symbolism provides our minds with a crutch to assist
understanding and recall. Although the illustrations as drawn may
have little or no basis in the facts, as they are accepted today,
or even as new discoveries may reveal, the understanding of the
concepts that develop through their use helps us apply the "gems"
that Lao-tzu speaks of in the Tao, to our lives.
