Oxford Studies in Early Modern Philosophy is an annual series, presenting a selection of the best current work in the history of early modern philosophy. It focuses on the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - the extraordinary period of intellectual flourishing that begins, very roughly, with Descartes and his contemporaries and ends with Kant. It also publishes papers on thinkers or movements outside of that framework, provided they are important in illuminating early modern thought. The articles in OSEMP will be of importance to specialists within the discipline, but the editors also intend that they should appeal to a larger audience of philosophers, intellectual historians, and others who are interested in the development of modern thought.

It is a comprehensive resource for those interested in understanding the philosophical, political, and legal issues that arise from interactions between states, peoples, and global actors. The two volumes of the handbook cover a wide range of topics, from the foundations of international political thought to the latest debates in the field. They are designed to give readers a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and arguments within international political the...
This collection provides the first in-depth introduction to the theory of the religious imagination put forward by renowned philosopher Douglas Hedley, from his earliest essays to his principal writings. Featuring Hedley's inaugural lecture delivered at Cambridge University in 2018, the book sheds light on his robust concept of religious imagination as the chief power of the soul's knowledge of the Divine and reveals its importance in contemporary metaphysics, ethics and politics. Chapters trace the development of the religious imagination in Christian Platonism from Late Antiquity to British Romanticism, drawing on Origen, Henry More and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, before providing a survey of...
La imagen de cubierta corresponde al frontispicio de un panfleto redactado por Johannes Cochlaeus: “Las siete cabezas de Martín Lutero”. Editado en latín y alemán en 1529, en Leipzig, Sieben Kopffe Martini Luthers o Luther septiceps intentaba contrarrestar las consecuencias de la polémica iniciada por Lutero en 1517. Una Reforma que comportaría la destrucción de un mundo. Este monstruo, que sugería asociar a Lutero con la bestia del apocalipsis, resume cómica y severamente el conjunto de objetivos que aborda este libro: entrever las raíces del movimiento reformado como reacción a una teología escolástica, a una eclesiología gregoriana y a prácticas monacales, evangélicas y...
“Vivir de prestado es una etnografía original, fina y sensible de las vidas precarias de los residentes de un complejo habitacional creado por el Estado, en la que las deudas y el derecho actúan como los dos grandes operadores de la vida social. Su escritura cuidada y meticulosa nos transporta por cada detalle del día a día de familias que transitan por oficinas públicas, cuidan su edificio, emprenden pequeños e informales trabajos que generan magros ingresos, realizan transacciones de bienes y servicios entre vecinos y parientes, y una larga lista de prácticas cotidianas que buscan generar umbrales de cuidado y protección colectiva. Así, mediante este relato brillante y fascinant...
Leibniz' Ruf als kosmopolitisches Universalgenie ist unbestritten. Mit seinen Arbeiten in den Gebieten von Mathematik, Philosophie, Theologie und Geschichte gehört er zu den wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten des europäischen Geisteslebens. Aber gilt dies auch für seine Leistungen in der Jurisprudenz. Leibniz' rechtsphilosophische und politische Schriften werden oft lediglich als Ergänzung seiner Beiträge zur Mathematik, Logik oder Metaphysik wahrgenommen. Dieses Bild ist schief und bedarf der Korrektur. Als Vordenker des politischen Pluralismus hat Leibniz eine Methodologie des Rechts mit großer Wirkungsmacht entwickelt. Aus unserer heutigen 'postnationalen' Perspektive muss zudem interessieren, dass er in transnationalen Größenordnungen dachte und zu den ersten Theoretikern einer europäischen Föderation gehört.
This book examines how G. W. Leibniz (1646-1716) addresses the problem of evil throughout his work. Paul Rateau explores the originality and implications of Leibniz's theoretical and apologetic project of defending the justice of God (which he calls Theodicy) by showing how it differs from earlier attempts, syntheses, and projects.
Notwithstanding their neglect in many histories of ideas in the West, the Cambridge Platonists constitute the most significant and influential group of thinkers in the Platonic tradition between the Florentine Renaissance and the Romantic Age. This anthology offers readers a unique, thematically structured compendium of their key texts, along with an extensive introduction and a detailed account of their legacy. The volume draws upon a resurgence of interest in thinkers such as Benjamin Whichcote, 1609–1683; Ralph Cudworth, 1618–1688; Henry More, 1614–1687; John Smith, 1618–1652, and Anne Conway 1631–1679, and includes hitherto neglected extracts and some works of less familiar aut...

Comment relever les extraordinaires défis que nous lancent les crises induites par la destruction de notre habitat planétaire ? Faut-il réviser le concept même de propriété privée ? Remettre en cause la souveraineté des États-nations ? Comment construire ensemble les institutions internationales qui permettraient de prendre soin de nos communs globaux que sont le climat mais aussi la biodiversité, la santé, les cultures et jusqu’à la démocratie ? Car c'est elle qui, aujourd'hui, est menacée par notre refus d'inscrire des limites à la toute-puissance de la personnalité juridique, des techniques extractivistes et de la marchandisation du monde. Où trouverons-nous les ressour...
