Jonathan Knowles argues against theories that seek to provide specific norms for the formation of belief on the basis of empirical sources: the project of naturalized epistemology. He argues that such norms are either not genuinely normative for belief, or are not required for optimal belief formation. An exhaustive classification of such theories is motivated and each variety is discussed in turn. He distinguishes naturalized epistemology from the less committal idea of naturalism, which provides a sense in which we can achieve epistemic normativity without norms.
In the field of epistemology, naturalism holds that there are no a
priori norms for guiding our belief-formation: we must start our
inquiries in situ , assuming some beliefs and the general
reliability of our basic cognitive practices to justify others.
Naturalized epistemology seeks to motivate norms for cognitive
enquiry on such a naturalistic basis. The author argues that,
whilst naturalism must be embraced, this more abmitious project is
in vain: to the extent one can justify naturalistic norms, they are
not needed for optimal rational belief-formation.

Politics and Political Culture in the Court Masque treats the
Jacobean masque as engaged with a broad range of ideas, issues and
texts from other political arenas rather than as an exclusive tool
of monarchy and court culture. Building on James I's own sense of
the monarchical stage as a site of scrutiny not adulation, this
book traces the masque's involvement in political events, such as
the crises and scandals that provoke political debate, to argue for
a form that is more experimental and more intensively concerned
with how to articulate political criticism. Exploring a series of
Jonson's Jacobean masques staged at political pressure points (Love
Restored, The Irish Masque at Court, News for the New World in the
Moon, and Gypsies Metamorphosed), this book suggests that these
texts contribute to a wider public political culture. It links the
masques to politics and political forms, such as libelous verse,
from beyond courtly ceremoniousness and tact, and argues that the
masque can represent more critical and controversial political
ideas. The book closes with consideration of Shirley's Triumph of
Peace as a response to the reinstitution of the Jonsonian masque in
the 1630s, itself part of a cultural 're-launch' of the Caroline
regime. In highlighting moments of strain in the interactions
between the masque and political culture the pressures on the form
and the debates around its purpose are seen as urgent and explicit,
exposing questions of how to speak politics and how to engage in a
political culture. Politics and Political Culture in the Court
Masque proposes a more critical and stringent role for masques in a
more contested and diverse politics.

The US Supreme Court's 1937 decision in West Coast Hotel v.
Parrish, upholding the constitutionality of Washington State's
minimum wage law for women, had monumental consequences for all
American workers. It also marked a major shift in the Court's
response to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal agenda. In
Making Minimum Wage, Helen J. Knowles tells the human story behind
this historic case. West Coast Hotel v. Parrish pitted a Washington
State hotel against a chambermaid, Elsie Parrish, who claimed that
she was owed the state's minimum wage. The hotel argued that under
the concept of "freedom of contract," the US Constitution allowed
it to pay its female workers whatever low wages they were willing
to accept. Knowles unpacks the legal complexities of the case while
telling the litigants' stories. Drawing on archival and private
materials, including the unpublished memoir of Elsie's lawyer, C.
B. Conner, Knowles exposes the profound courage and resolve of the
former chambermaid. Her book reveals why Elsie-who, in her
mid-thirties was already a grandmother-was fired from her job at
the Cascadian Hotel in Wenatchee, and why she undertook the
outsized risk of suing the hotel for back wages. Minimum wage laws
are "not an academic question or even a legal one," Elinore
Morehouse Herrick, the New York director of the National Labor
Relations Board, said in 1936. Rather, they are "a human problem."
A pioneering analysis that illuminates the life stories behind West
Coast Hotel v. Parrish as well as the case's impact on local,
state, and national levels, Making Minimum Wage vividly
demonstrates the fundamental truth of Morehouse Herrick's
statement.
At the ideological center of the Supreme Court sits Anthony M.
Kennedy, whose pivotal role on the Rehnquist Court is only expected
to grow in importance now that he is the lone 'swing Justice' on
the Roberts Court. The Ties Goes to Freedom is the first
book-length analysis of Kennedy, and it challenges the conventional
wisdom that his jurisprudence is inconsistent and incoherent. Using
the hot-button issues of privacy rights, race, and free speech,
this book demonstrates how Kennedy forcefully articulates a
libertarian constitutional vision. The Tie Goes to Freedom fills
two significant voids-one examining the jurisprudence of the man at
the ideological center of the Supreme Court, the other
demonstrating the compatibility of an expansive judicial role with
libertarian political theory. At the end of Kennedy's tenure as the
most important swing justice in recent Supreme Court history, Helen
Knowles provides an updated edition of her highly regarded book on
Justice Kennedy and his constitutional vision.
