The book "Governed by Artificial Intelligence" explores what the future of our society would be like if it were governed by general artificial intelligence. Through speculation and extrapolation, it attempts to depict a scenario in which technology advances at such a speed that humanity is forced to rely on machines to make crucial political decisions. It raises questions about the ethical and social implications of handing over control of our lives and our world to an artificial being. It also seeks to reflect on the capacity of humans to manage this new reality and how far we are willing to go to ensure our survival in an increasingly complex and technological world. One of the main issues...
This book examines the lasting impact of war on individuals and their communities in pre-modern Europe. Research on combat stress in the modern era regularly draws upon the past for inspiration and validation, but to date no single volume has effectively scrutinised the universal nature of combat stress and its associated modern diagnoses. Highlighting the methodological obstacles of using modern medical and psychological models to understand pre-modern experiences, this book challenges existing studies and presents innovative new directions for future research. With cutting-edge contributions from experts in history, classics and medical humanities, the collection has a broad chronological ...

How the Jesuits re-emerged after forty years of suppression In 1773, Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus. For the 823 Jesuits living in the Low Countries, it meant the end of their institutional religious life. In the Austrian Netherlands, the Jesuits were put under strict surveillance, but in the Dutch Republic they were able to continue their missionary work. It is this regional contrast and the opportunities it offered for the Order to survive that make the Low Countries an exceptional and interesting case in Jesuit history. Just as in White Russia, former Jesuits and new Jesuits in the Low Countries prepared for the restoration of the Order, with the help of other religious,...
Mexico's Reforma, the mid-nineteenth-century liberal revolution, decisively shaped the country by disestablishing the Catholic Church, secularizing public affairs, and laying the foundations of a truly national economy and culture. The Lawyer of the Church is an examination of the Mexican clergy's response to the Reforma through a study of the life and works of Bishop Clemente de Jesús Munguía (1810-68), one of the most influential yet least-known figures of the period. By analyzing how Munguía responded to changing political and intellectual scenarios in defense of the clergy's legal prerogatives and social role, Pablo Mijangos y González argues that the Catholic Church opposed the libe...

Un sector importante de la sociedad novohispana, citado a menudo en la historiografía debido a sus vínculos, a su indudable influencia en la vida religiosa, social, política y cultural de la época es, por supuesto, el clero secular. A partir de la idea de que sobre este sector hay lagunas notables en cuanto a su conocimiento -básicamente debidas a la tendencia a establecer generalizaciones que abarcan amplios espacios temporales y también al escaso trabajo de archivo-, el autor del presente libro se dio a la tarea de analizar un periodo histórico poco conocido de la Iglesia en Nueva España como lo fue la primera década del siglo XVIII en lo relativo al clero secular del arzobispado ...
