People and Place
In this final volume of a four-volume series, Michael Horton explores the origin, mission, and destiny of the church through the lens of covenantal theology. Arguing that the history of Israel and the covenant of grace provide the proper context for New Testament ecclesiology, Horton then shows how the church is constituted through the ascension of Christ, the Pentecost, and the Parousia and how it continues to live by the Word and sacraments. Horton's goal is to demonstrate the potential of a covenantal model for integrating the themes of the church as people and as place, with an urgent concern for contemporary practice.
Modern Freedom
This book, the result of 40 years of Hegel research, gives an integral interpretation of G.W.F. Hegel's mature practical philosophy as contained in his textbook, Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts, published in 1820, and the courses he gave on the same subject between 1817 and 1830.
L'Ora e l'attimo
L’Ora e l’attimo narra – attraverso il confronto di Vico con Platone e Kant, Hegel e Nietzsche, Gadamer e, infine, Benjamin – la storia discontinua di un passaggio epocale nella concezione del mondo storico: il passaggio dal primato dell’orizzonte universale eterno, l’“Ora”, in cui si inquadrano le diverse età della storia, al primato dell’“attimo”, in cui sono parimenti possibili sia l’inizio di una “nuova Ora” che la fine della storia dell’uomo ad opera dell’uomo. In Vico questo “passaggio”, variamente contrastato e sofferto, ma alla fine vincente, assume la figura del transito dalla mathesis universalis della storia alla visione morale del mondo umano.

Dell’essere e del possibile
Essere e possibile. Due concetti all’origine del pensiero occidentale che non hanno mai smesso di influenzarne la rotta. Questo volume condensa un dialogo che dura da oltre dieci anni tra Emanuele Severino e Vincenzo Vitiello, due dei più illustri esponenti della scuola filosofica italiana. A partire dal commento di alcune delle loro opere più apprezzate – La struttura originaria, Hegel in Italia, Il Dio possibile – questo scambio non teme di mettere in evidenza i punti di dissenso, le contrapposizioni di pensiero, il confronto costruttivo sui temi fondamentali di un sentiero filosofico condiviso.
Vico and the Transformation of Rhetoric in Early Modern Europe
Considered the most original thinker in the Italian philosophical tradition, Giambattista Vico has been the object of much scholarly attention but little consensus. In this new interpretation, David L. Marshall examines the entirety of Vico's oeuvre and situates him in the political context of early modern Naples. Marshall presents Vico's work as an effort to resolve a contradiction. As a professor of rhetoric at the University of Naples, Vico had a deep investment in the explanatory power of classical rhetorical thought, especially that of Aristotle, Cicero, and Quintilian. Yet as a historian of the failure of Naples as a self-determining political community, he had no illusions about the possibility or worth of democratic and republican systems of government in the post-classical world. As Marshall demonstrates, by jettisoning the assumption that rhetoric only illuminates direct, face-to-face interactions between orator and auditor, Vico reinvented rhetoric for a modern world in which the Greek polis and the Roman res publica are no longer paradigmatic for political thought.
Robin Boyd: Spatial Continuity
Australian architect Robin Boyd (1919–1971) advocated tirelessly for the voice of Australian architects so that there could be an architecture that might speak to Australian conditions and sensibilities.His legacy continues in the work of contemporary Australian architects yet also prompts a way forward for architecture particularly in relationship to the landscapes they inhabit through a quality of continuous space found in his work where the buildings are spatially reliant and sympathetic to the places they occupy. A selection of 22 projects are documented comprehensively in this book for the first time. This slice through Boyd’s body of work reveals a gifted, complex and contemporary thinker.
Lord and Servant
Building on Covenant and Eschatology: The Divine Drama, this volume is part two of a three-part project surveying essential topics of Christian theology through the lens of covenant. In Lord and Servant: A Covenant Christology, Michael Horton explores the topics that are generally grouped under the doctrines of God, humanity, and Christology. Rather than attempt a general systematic theology, Horton revisits these topics at the places where covenant and eschatology offer the most promising insight and where there is the most contemporary interest and debate.
