The Poet as Believer A Theological Study of Paul Claudel

The Poet as Believer A Theological Study of Paul Claudel

This is the first comprehensive study of the theological significance of Paul Claudel a poet frequently cited by literary-minded theologians in Europe and theologically-minded poets (such as von Balthasar de Lubac and Eliot). His writing combines cosmology and history Bible and metaphysics liturgy and the drama of human personality. His work which continues to arouse discussion in France was acclaimed in his lifetime as the 'summa poetica' of a new Dante. Aidan Nichols' study demonstrates how Claudel's oeuvre which is not only poetry but theatre and prose including biblical commentaries constitutes a rich resource for constructive doctrine liturgical preaching and theological reflection. As the comparable example of Geoffrey Hill Professor of Poetry at Oxford suggests Aidan Nichols illuminates how Claudel's synthesis of many dimensions remains an important way of practising poetry in the Christian tradition today. | The Poet as Believer A Theological Study of Paul Claudel

Architectures of Transversality Paul Klee Louis Kahn and the Persian Imagination

Architectures of Transversality Paul Klee Louis Kahn and the Persian Imagination

Architectures of Transversality investigates the relationship between modernity space power and culture in Iran. Focusing on Paul Klee’s Persian-inspired miniature series and Louis Kahn’s unbuilt blueprint for a democratic public space in Tehran it traces the architectonics of the present as a way of moving beyond universalist and nationalist accounts of modernism. Transversality is a form of spatial production and practice that addresses the three important questions of the self objects and power. Using Deleuzian and Heideggerian theory the book introduces the practices of Klee and Kahn as transversal spatial responses to the dialectical tension between existential and political territories and in doing so situates the history of the silent unrepresented and the unbuilt – constructed from the works of Klee and Kahn – as a possible solution to the crisis of modernity and identity-based politics in Iran. | Architectures of Transversality Paul Klee Louis Kahn and the Persian Imagination

Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard: The Art of Ross O’Carroll Kelly offers a thorough examination of narrative devices satirical modes cultural context and humour in Howard’s texts. The volume argues that his academic critical neglect is due to a classic bifurcation in Irish Studies between high and popular culture and it will use the thought of Pierre Bourdieu Sigmund Freud Mikhail Bakhtin and Jacques Derrida to critique this division building a theoretical platform from which to examine the significance of Howard’s work as an Irish comic and satirical writer. Addressing both the style and the substance of his work this text locates him in a tradition of Irish satirical writing that dates back to the Gaelic bards and it includes writers like Swift Wilde Flann O’Brien and Joyce. Through textual and contextual analysis this book makes the case for Howard as a significant and original voice in Irish writing whose fusion of the three traditional types of satire (Horatian Juvenalian and Menippean) has created a parallel Ireland that shines a satirical light on its real counterpart. As Freud suggests humour is a way of accessing aspects of the psyche that normative discourses cannot enunciate and Howard through the confessional voice of Ross offers a fictive truth on 20 years of Irish society a truth that is not accessed by discourse in the public sphere or by what could be termed literary or high cultural fiction. | Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Paul Ricoeur’s Philosophical Anthropology as Hermeneutics of Liberation Freedom Justice and the Power of Imagination

Paul Ricoeur’s Philosophical Anthropology as Hermeneutics of Liberation Freedom Justice and the Power of Imagination

This book offers a unique account of the role imagination plays in advancing the course of freedom’s actualization. It draws on Paul Ricoeur’s philosophical anthropology of the capable human being as the staging ground for an extended inquiry into the challenges of making freedom a reality within the history of humankind. This book locates the abilities we exercise as capable human beings at the heart of a sustained analysis and reflection on the place of the idea of justice in a hermeneutics for which every expectation regarding rights liberties and opportunities must be a hope for humanity as a whole. The vision of a reconciled humanity that for Ricoeur figures in a philosophy of the will provides an initial touchstone for a hermeneutics of liberation rooted in a philosophical anthropology for which the pathétique of human misery is its non- or pre-philosophical source. By setting the idea of the humanity in each of us against the backdrop of the necessity of preserving the tension between the space of our experiences and the horizons of our expectations the book identifies the ethical and political dimensions of the idea of justice’s federating force with the imperative of respect. Paul Ricoeur’s Philosophical Anthropology as Hermeneutics of Liberation will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in hermeneutics phenomenology ethics political theory and aesthetics. | Paul Ricoeur’s Philosophical Anthropology as Hermeneutics of Liberation Freedom Justice and the Power of Imagination

Revelation Scripture and Church Theological Hermeneutic Thought of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei

Revelation Scripture and Church Theological Hermeneutic Thought of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei

How does God's involvement with the generation of Holy Scripture and its use in the life of the Christian church figure into the human work of Scripture interpretation? This is the central question that this book seeks to address. In critical conversation with the influential hermeneutic programs of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei Topping demonstrates how God's agency has been marginalized in the task of Scripture interpretation. Divine involvement with the Bible is bracketed out (Barr) rendered in generic terms (Ricoeur) or left implicit (Frei) in these depictions of the hermeneutic field. The result is that each of these hermeneutic programs is less than a ’realist’ interpretative proposal. Talk of God is eclipsed by the terminal consideration of human realities. Topping argues for the centrality of doctrinal description in a lively theological understanding of Scripture interpretation for the life of the church. | Revelation Scripture and Church Theological Hermeneutic Thought of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei

Paul Samuelson and the Foundations of Modern Economics

Paul Samuelson and the Foundations of Modern Economics

Paul A. Samuelson was the first American Nobel Laureate in economics and the second overall. He was credited for the scientific work through which he has developed static and dynamic economic theory and actively contributed to raising the level of analysis in economic science. That recognition is now thirty years old and Samuelson remains at work in the cutting edge of the discipline. He is also widely known for a basic textbook that became a landmark learning tool throughout the second half of the twentieth century. This excellent collegial appreciation focuses heavily on Samuelson's Foundations of Economic Analysis. In that work and a series of brief essays he has contributed to an integration of statics and dynamics by way of the correspondence principle. He has also combined the multiplier and accelerator mechanisms in a model of economic fluctuations; he has reformed the foundations of consumption theory by his concept of revealed preferences; he has developed or improved several major theorems within international trade; and created theories of maximum efficiency and maximum growth rate. Finally he has clarified the role of collective goods in resource allocation. In considering the work and life of Samuelson editor Puttaswamaiah has assembled a worthy group of brilliant commentators. Among the analytic papers in this volume are An essay on the Accuracy of Economic Prediction by L. R. Klein Analytical Aspects of Anti-Inflation Policy by Robert M. Solow a paper by Vittorangelo Orati on Samuelson's linkage to Schumpeter and Keynes Money and Price Theory by Carlo Benetti and Jean Cartelier and a concluding essay on The Role of Samuelson's Economics by Michael Emmett Brady. Most unusual in works of this kind are some strong critical statements including a pungent examination of vanity as well as creativity in Samuelson's work. What emerges is a clear picture of a special scholar. Scholars and students will welcome it alike-a result that well fits the purpose and character of Samuelson. The festschrift has its origins in several issues of the International Journal of Applied Economics and Econometrics. Professor K. Puttaswamaiah has more than three decades of editing journals in economics. He is a member of the journal; Savings and Development issued at the University of Milan. He is author of Economic Development of Karnataka Cost-Benefit Analysis and Nobel Economists: Lives and Contributions. | Paul Samuelson and the Foundations of Modern Economics

Marginalisation and Utopia in Paul Auster Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits The Other America

Marginalisation and Utopia in Paul Auster Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits The Other America

This book explores how three contemporary American artists through the mediums of film literature and popular music have contributed to the tradition of American progressivism and provides an invaluable companion to the understanding of complex issues such as inequality and social and economic decline that are apparent in America today. Connecting the works of these artists through a fictional country – the ‘Other America’ – the book shows how they have refuted middle-class values and goals of success money and social affirmation to unveil the less celebrated dark side of contemporary America which despite the troubles currently faced never loses hope for a better future. This utopic vision in the face of adversity is explored through the plots characters and mis-en-scène of Auster and Jarmusch’s work and Waits’s lyrics and sound. This vision challenges the dominant narratives of America as the land of opportunity and values democracy civic engagement communitarianism and egalitarianism. Offering an important new perspective to literature on contemporary American culture this book will be of interest to students and scholars of American studies film studies popular music postmodern literature cultural studies and sociology. | Marginalisation and Utopia in Paul Auster Jim Jarmusch and Tom Waits The Other America

An Analysis of Paul Kennedy's The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers Ecomonic Change and Military Conflict from 1500-2000

An Analysis of Paul Kennedy's The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers Ecomonic Change and Military Conflict from 1500-2000

Paul Kennedy owes a great deal to the editor who persuaded him to add a final chapter to this study of the factors that contributed to the rise and fall of European powers since the age of Spain’s Philip II. This tailpiece indulged in what was for an historian a most unusual activity: it looked into the future. Pondering whether the United States would ultimately suffer the same decline as every imperium that preceded it it was this chapter that made The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers a dinner party talking point in Washington government circles. In so doing it elevated Kennedy to the ranks of public intellectuals whose opinions were canvassed on matters of state policy. From a strictly academic point of view the virtues of Kennedy's work lie elsewhere and specifically in his flair for asking the sort of productive questions that characterize a great problem-solver. Kennedy's work is an example of an increasingly rare genre – a work of comparative history that transcends the narrow confines of state– and era–specific studies to identify the common factors that underpin the successes and failures of highly disparate states. Kennedy's prime contribution is the now-famous concept of ‘imperial overstretch ’ the idea that empires fall largely because the military commitments they acquire during the period of their rise ultimately become too much to sustain once they lose the economic competitive edge that had projected them to dominance in the first place. Earlier historians may have glimpsed this central truth and even applied it in studies of specific polities but it took a problem-solver of Kennedy's ability to extend the analysis convincingly across half a millennium. | An Analysis of Paul Kennedy's The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers Ecomonic Change and Military Conflict from 1500-2000
