Volumes will contribute to the on-going redefinitions of the field. A Feminine Enlightenment British Women Writers and the Philosophy of Progress, 1759-1820 JoEllen DeLucia Revises established understandings of British women writers' contributions to Enlightenment narratives of social and historical progress Drawing on original archival research, A Feminine Enlightenment argues that women writers shaped Enlightenment conversations regarding the role of sentiment and gender in the civilizing process. By reading women's literature alongside history and philosophy and moving between the eighteenth century and Romantic era, JoEllen DeLucia challenges conventional historical and generic boundaries. Beginning with Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), she tracks discussions of 'women's progress' from the rarified atmosphere of mid-eighteenth-century Bluestocking salons and the masculine domain of the Scottish university system to the popular Minerva Press novels of the early nineteenth century. Ultimately, this study positions feminine genres such as the Gothic romance and Bluestocking poetry, usually seen as outliers in a masculine Age of Reason, as essential to understanding emotion's role in Enlightenment narratives of progress. The effect of this study is twofold: to show how developments in women's literature reflected and engaged with Enlightenment discussions of emotion, sentiment, and commercial and imperial expansion; and to provide new literary and historical contexts for contemporary conversations that continue to use 'women's progress' to assign cultures and societies around the globe a place in universalizing schemas of development. Key Features - Establishes the centrality of gender to Enlightenment discussions of social and historical development - Uncovers evidence of women writers' participation in the Scottish Enlightenment's theorization of sentiment and historical progress - Provides literary and historical background for ongoing discussions of the history of emotion and the study of affect JoEllen DeLucia is an assistant professor at Central Michigan University. She has published numerous essays on women's writing, eighteenth-century and Romantic-era literature, and Enlightenment thought.

Neuware - A critical guide to Garcia's systematic metaphysical treatise Form and Object The publication of Form and Object: A Treatise on Things by Tristan Garcia, Prix de Flore-winning novelist, philosopher, essayist, and screenwriter is a genuine event in the history of philosophy. Situating this event within classical, modern, and contemporary dialectical space, Jon Cogburn evaluates Garcia's metaphysics, differential ontology, and militant anti-reductionism through a series of seemingly incompatible oppositions concerning: substance and process, analysis and dialectic, simple and whole, and discovery and creation. Cogburn also includes a critical assessment of the consequences of Garcia's philosophy, the various unresolved problems in his treatise, and the future prospects of speculative metaphysics. Jon Cogburn is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Louisiana State University.

It places Iqbal in multiple philosophical and historical contexts, and though admiring in tone, it illuminates the complexity of his work and many aspects of his contemporary relevance with care.' Javed Majeed, Professor of Comparative Literature and English, King's College London Examines the ideas central to Muhammad Iqbal's thought and life: religion, science, metaphysics and nationalism There are few moments in human history where the forces of religion, culture and politics converge to produce some of the most significant philosophical ideas in the world. India in the early twentieth century saw one of these moments with the rise of activist-thinkers like Nehru, Jinnah and Gandhi, individuals who liberated not only human lives but their minds as well. One of most influential members of that group was the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal. Commonly known as the 'spiritual father of Pakistan', Iqbal's philosophical and political ideas shaped not just the face of Indian Muslim nationalism but also the direction of modernist reformist Islam around the world. New developments in research on Iqbal's thought are collected here, coming from a range of prominent and emerging voices from political science, philosophy and religious studies. They offer new and novel examinations of the ideas that lie at the heart of Iqbal's own thought: religion, science, metaphysics, nationalism and religious identity. Readers will (re)discover many new connections between the 'Sage of the Ummah' and the greatest thinkers and ideas of European and Islamic philosophies. Key Features Responds to the renewed interest in Iqbal by developing new interpretations and understandings Examines ideas central to Iqbal's thought such as the connection between religious belief and modern knowledge, and the political dimension of Muslim identity Explores the links between Iqbal and other philosophers who were his contemporaries including Bergson, Peirce, and Whitehead H. C. Hillier is a Lecturer in the Department of Society, Culture and Environment at Wilfrid Laurier University. Basit Bilal Koshul is Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Lahore University of Management Sciences.

In a similar manner, it is often regarded as a fact that Iran and the Sunni Arab states are fighting proxy wars in foreign lands. This empirically grounded study challenges the assumptions prevalent within academic as well as policy circles about hegemonic power of such Islamic discourses and movements to penetrate all Muslim communities and societies. Through case studies of academic institutions the volume illustrates how transmission of ideas is an extremely complex process, and the outcome of such efforts depends not just on the strategies adopted by backers of those ideologies but equally on the characteristics of the receipt communities.

The individual studies ask what specific sonorous qualities are capable of being registered by different modern media, and how sonic transpositions and transferences across media affect the ways in which human subjects attend to modern soundscapes. Script, groove, electrical current, magnetic imprint, phonographic vibration: as the contributors show, sound traverses these and other material platforms to become an insistent ground-note of modern aesthetics, one not yet adequately integrated into critical accounts of the period. This collection also provides a commanding and wide-ranging investigation of the conditions under which modernists tapped technically into the rhythms, echoes and sonic architectures of their worlds.Julian Murphet is Scientia Professor of English and Film Studies at the University of New South Wales, Australia.Helen Groth is Professor of English at the University of New South Wales, Australia.Penelope Hone has recently been awarded her doctorate from the University of New South Wales, Australia.
