Israelis and Palestinians From the Cycle of Violence to the Conversation of Mankind JONATHAN GLOVER King’s College London ‘What singles this book out from all others about the conflict are two features: a sympathetic recognition of the traumas on both sides, but more importantly a deeper attempt to unravel and suggest ways to overcome the underlying and by-now self-feeding psychological forces that make peace today improbable. This is not a narrative that offers us a ready template for a “solution” in the classical sense: it is a call for what needs to be done in order to make what is now an improbable solution a possible one. For me, it was an eye-opener!’ Sari Nusseibeh, President Emeritus, Al-Quds University ‘Israelis and Palestinians is a book about a land and its tormented politics, but it is first and foremost about people. Jonathan Glover’s humanist perspective avoids the common pitfalls of assigning blame or proposing “out-of-the-box“ solutions to the indefatigable conflict. His empathetic account of the social and psychological barriers to peace is indispensable for anyone interested in understanding the conflict, let alone solving it.’ Assaf Sharon, Molad, The Center for the Renewal of Israeli Democracy 216 x 138mm • 192 pages • UK January 2024, US February 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-5978-7 • £20.00 / $25.00 / €24.90 ebook available

Seeing Double RAYMOND GEUSS University of Cambridge ‘This is a wonderful collection of essays covering a broad range of important topics. The title Seeing Double refers to a recurring theme in the essays: the need for multiple perspectives. The first essay gives not only a fascinating account of Montaigne’s invention of the genre of the essay, but also important insight into Geuss’s own model of the genre. Six further essays discuss the following topics: Rabelais’ works especially in relation to issues of language, interpretation, and translation; Nietzsche’s ethnological, or anthropological, observations; the valorizing of vision and of hearing in different traditions of Western thought; the origins of the notion of normative grammar and its problems; complications pertaining to the concept of success; and the value, or lack of it, of hope. The essays all display Geuss’s hallmark combination of originality, boldness, insight, clarity of argument, erudition, and stylistic elegance. It would be hard to praise this collection too strongly.’ Michael N. Forster, Bonn University ‘In these essays, Geuss invites his readers to converse with an eccentric tradition of European thinkers who refused to indulge the belief in a single standpoint from which the world must make sense. His collection is an invitation to us to wean themselves from optimism and to cultivate recognition of the plurality and conflict of our embodied, social and world-dependent existence as a first step toward a liveable future.’ Katherine Harloe, School of Advanced Study, University of London 216 x 138mm • 216 pages • UK April 2024, US June 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6087-5 • £50.00 / $64.95 / €61.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6088-2 • £15.99 / $22.95 / €19.90 ebook available

Trans Figured On being a transgender person in a cisgender world SOPHIE GRACE CHAPPELL The Open University ‘Public controversy about the status of people who have changed their gender identification has been mostly characterized by both muddle and verbal violence. This book, in contrast, is a model of what a serious philosopher can bring to the discussion – and also of how to philosophize about moral questions in general. Clear, witty, moving, realistic and patient, it is a profoundly welcome contribution, urging us to beware of distorted generalizations, and to spend the time needed to listen to the arguments and the narratives of those most directly affected by the debate.’ Rowan Williams, theologian and former Archbishop of Canterbury ‘With both analytic clarity and personal transparency, Chappell invites her reader to join in on a pressing philosophical conversation about the costs and contradictions of anti-trans rhetoric, and what transgender experience can teach us all about being human.’ Robin Dembroff, Yale University 229 x 152mm • 240 pages • UK April 2024, US June 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6150-6 • £25.00 / $35.00 / €30.90 ebook available

Trouble with Gender Sex Facts, Gender Fictions ALEX BYRNE MIT ‘A refreshingly clarifying and forthright take on the philosophy of gender activism, cutting through the noise with incisiveness and wit. Anyone interested in the gender wars needs to read it.’ Kathleen Stock, author of Material Girls ‘Alex Byrne masterfully does what philosophers are supposed to do: clarify words and concepts, identify which ideas follow from which other ones, and distinguish what is from what ought to be. And despite the now-incendiary subject matter, he accomplishes all this with a light touch and an appealing voice.’ Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of Rationality 229 x 152mm • 320 pages • UK October 2023, US January 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6001-1 • £25.00 / $29.95 / €30.90 ebook available

Being Philosophical An Introduction to Philosophy and Its Methods STEPHEN HETHERINGTON University of New South Wales ‘Stephen Hetherington has drawn on his broad excellence as philosopher and editor to compose a distinctive introduction to the vast, variegated world of philosophy. He guides us around that world with snippet visits to his more than eighty ports of call. It is his evident intention to glory in the vast geographical breadth and historical length of the discipline. And he succeeds delightfully in that attempt.’ Ernest Sosa, Rutgers University ‘A unique and exciting introduction, offering an expansive, cosmopolitan picture of philosophy and covering a diversity of philosophical traditions, historical periods, and voices. The vision of philosophy as a thriving conversation in which all humanity can participate is inspiring and invigorating.’ Dave Ward, University of Edinburgh This book guides readers through the perplexing initial moments of meeting philosophy by taking them inside philosophical thinking as an activity. Hetherington elucidates how intellectual ‘tools’ from a diversity of traditions can enable us to start doing philosophy – that is, to think ‘from scratch’ in a philosophical way. 216 x 138mm • 304 pages • UK April 2024, US July 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-5457-7 • £55.00 / $69.95 / €67.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5458-4 • £17.99 / $24.95 / €21.90 ebook available

Edmund Burke ROSS CARROLL Dublin City University ‘This is a deft and exciting book – the best short scholarly account of Burke, written with clarity and authority. Burke remains one of the few great philosopher-statesmen of modern history, and Ross Carroll offers an original, compelling and judicious analysis of his thought.’ Richard Bourke, University of Cambridge ‘Ross Carroll has written a nuanced and learned study of Burke’s intellectual and political life, which is the best introduction to Burke’s political theory and the starting point for any student interested in his politics.’ Max Skjönsberg, University of Florida Edmund Burke has been praised as a prophet who spied the terror latent in revolutionary or democratic ideologies, and condemned as defender of social hierarchy and outmoded political institutions. Carroll tempers these judgments by situating Burke’s arguments in relation to the political controversies of his day.

Utilitarianism as a Way of Life Re-envisioning Planetary Happiness BART SCHULTZ University of Chicago ‘In this brilliant, engaging, and perceptive book, Bart Schultz breathes new life into the utilitarian project, illuminating its potential as a source of inspiration for living well in the modern world. A tour de force.’ Roger Crisp, University of Oxford Utilitarianism – a commitment to ‘the greatest happiness for the greatest number’ – has been the target of endless opposition. Bart Schultz argues that utilitarian philosophy must be decolonized and reimagined for the current moment: a time of new and looming existential threats, in a world desperate for social change. Where dominant approaches have failed to deal with the enormous challenges we face, utilitarianism may hold out hope of addressing them. Drawing on alternatives to the well-known Eurocentric story of utilitarianism and incorporating the works of major philosophers, Schultz crafts a groundbreaking new framework of utilitarianism. 229 x 152mm • 250 pages • UK September 2024, US November 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-5226-9 • £55.00 / $69.95 / €67.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5227-6 • £17.99 / $24.95 / €21.90 ebook available

G. A. Cohen Liberty, Justice and Equality CHRISTINE SYPNOWICH Queen’s University, Canada ‘Christine Sypnowich’s impressively wellinformed presentation of Jerry Cohen’s exceptional personality and her insightful critical discussion of all key aspects of his work will make readers understand why his unusual combination of radical political views and meticulous prose keeps inspiring so many young philosophers, and not only them.’ Philippe Van Parijs, University of Louvain ‘This is a splendid manuscript that explores different facets of the remarkable contributions to philosophy and politics of G. A. Cohen. The chapters are well-conceived and the overall structure is excellent. Readers are provided with facets of Cohen’s life that are interesting in themselves, but which also illuminate some of the motivations underlying his work in different areas. Sypnowich has an impressive command of Cohen’s work, and she does an excellent job of situating his work in relation to that of other theorists and schools of thought. Accessible, readable, and informative.’ Colin Macleod, University of Victoria G. A. Cohen was one of the towering political philosophers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His intellectual career was unusually wide-ranging, and he was celebrated internationally not only for his penetrating ideas, but for his highly original method. Sypnowich guides readers through the rich body of Cohen’s work.

Also a History of Philosophy Volume 2: The Occidental Constellation of Faith and Knowledge JÜRGEN HABERMAS Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt Translated by Ciaran Cronin In this second volume of his groundbreaking new work on the history of philosophy, Jürgen Habermas traces the development of Western thought from the reception of Platonism by early Christian thought, through the revolution in medieval philosophy and theology triggered by the rediscovery of Aristotle’s works, up to the decoupling of philosophical and theological thought in nominalism and the Reformation that ushered in the postmetaphysical thinking of the modern age. Far from raising claims to exclusivity, completeness or closure, Habermas’s history of philosophy, published in English in three volumes, opens up new lines of research and reflection that will influence the humanities and social sciences for decades to come. 229 x 152mm • 552 pages • UK September 2024, US December 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-4517-9 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 ebook available

Also a History of Philosophy Volume 1: The Project of a Genealogy of Postmetaphysical Thinking JÜRGEN HABERMAS Translated by Ciaran Cronin ‘A wonderful English translation of Jürgen Habermas’s magnum opus tracing 1,300 years of philosophy in the West. This volume is at once a reconstruction of the encounter between faith and reason, so defining of the Western philosophical legacy, and a reflection on philosophy’s role in shaping who we are and how we relate to the world around us. Brilliant, breath-taking in scope, and profound in its assessment of the modern self-understanding, this magnificent work is a vital contribution to contemporary philosophy.’ Simone Chambers, University of California, Irvine 229 x 152mm • 448 pages • UK September 2023, US November 2023 HB • 978-1-5095-4389-2 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 ebook available

The Noumenal Republic Critical Constructivism After Kant RAINER FORST Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt ‘Rainer Forst never ceases to astound. His new book deploys a “constructivist“ perspective to illuminate a stunning range of concepts and figures, from alienation and autonomy to human rights and structural injustice, from Rousseau and Kant to Rawls and Habermas.’ Charles Larmore, Brown University ‘Rainer Forst’s idea of the right to justification demands that people not be subjected to a normative order that cannot be adequately justified to them. This book builds on that idea to provide a powerful interpretation of the democratic idea that laws must be self-imposed. Through careful engagements with a remarkable range of historical and contemporary writers, Forst illuminates not only what justice demands, but also both why anyone who is subject to a norm must able be its author, and how such self-imposition is possible.’ Arthur Ripstein, University of Toronto 229 x 152mm • 320 pages • UK April 2024, US July 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6225-1 • £55.00 / $69.95 / €67.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6226-8 • £18.99 / $26.95 / €22.90 ebook available

The Working Sovereign Labour and Democratic Citizenship AXEL HONNETH Columbia University Translated by Daniel Steuer ‘The now copious literature on the crisis of democracy is very attentive to the political processes of deliberation and largely inattentive to the relationship between the growth of poverty and the shift from stable employment to the normalization of precarious labor relations. ... Bringing labor back to the center of democracy is the valuable contribution of this illuminating book by Axel Honneth, which reminds us that democratic citizens are workers and that there is a mutual dependence between democratic participation and sufficiently good working conditions.’ Nadia Urbinati, Columbia University 229 x 152mm • 212 pages • UK September 2024, US November 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6128-5 • £25.00 / $35.00 / €30.90 ebook available

First Philosophy Last Philosophy Western Knowledge Between Metaphysics and the Sciences GIORGIO AGAMBEN University of Venice Translated by Zakiya Hanafi What is at stake in that form of inquiry which the Western philosophical tradition has called first philosophy or metaphysics? Is this an abstract, now outmoded branch of philosophy, or does it address a problem that is still of great interest – namely, the unity of Western knowledge? In fact, metaphysics is ‘first’ only in relation to the other two sciences that Aristotle called theoretical: physics and mathematics. It is the strategic sense of this ‘primacy’ that needs to be examined because what is at issue here is nothing less than the relationship of domination or subservience, conflict or harmony, between philosophy and science. The hypothesis of this book is that philosophy’s attempt to use metaphysics as a way of securing its primacy among the sciences has resulted instead in its subservience: philosophy, once handmaiden to theology (ancilla theologiae), has now become more or less consciously handmaiden to the sciences (ancilla scientiarum). So it is all the more urgent to explore the nature and limits of this primacy and subservience, as this book does through an archaeological investigation of metaphysics. This important re-reading of the Western philosophical tradition by a leading thinker will be of interest to students and scholars in philosophy, critical theory and the humanities more generally, and to anyone interested in contemporary philosophy and European thought. 216 x 138mm • 132 pages • UK April 2024, US July 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6051-6 • £40.00 / $49.95 / €48.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6052-3 • £12.99 / $14.95 / €15.90 ebook available

Lectures 1949-1968 Volume 1: Music, Literature, and the Arts THEODOR W. ADORNO Translated by Nicholas Walker When Theodor W. Adorno returned to Germany from his exile in the United States, he was appointed as a lecturer and researcher at the University of Frankfurt and immediately made a name for himself as a leading public intellectual. Adorno’s widespread influence on the postwar debates was due in part to the public lectures he gave outside of the university in which he analysed and commented on social, cultural and political developments at the time. This first volume brings together Adorno’s lectures given between 1949 and 1968 on music, literature and the arts. With an engaging and improvisational style, Adorno spoke with compelling enthusiasm on subjects as diverse as Marcel Proust’s prose, Richard Strauss’s composition technique and Arnold Schoenberg’s Pierrot lunaire. Germany, restoring its social and intellectual institutions, needed to embrace the new music and writers who had been neglected, particularly with regards to Proust. To rebuild was taken to mean rediscovery, but Adorno also nurtured a vision of tradition which – far from being unthinkingly conservative – would attest to society’s honestly-appraised relationship to the past while it underwent the process of modernization. The volume illustrates Adorno’s deep commitment to holding contemporary music and culture to standards commensurate with the aspirations of a modern world emerging from the horrors of war. 229 x 152mm • 270 pages • UK December 2024, US March 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-5238-2 • £55.00 / $69.95 / €67.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5239-9 • £18.99 / $26.95 / €22.90 ebook available

Lectures 1949-1968 Volume 2: Social Theory and Politics THEODOR W. ADORNO Translated by Nicholas Walker When Theodor W. Adorno returned to Germany from his exile in the United States, he was appointed as a lecturer and researcher at the University of Frankfurt and he immediately made a name for himself as a leading public intellectual. Adorno’s widespread influence on the postwar debates was due in part to the public lectures he gave outside of the university in which he analysed and commented on social, cultural and political developments at the time. This second volume brings together Adorno’s lectures given between 1949 and 1968 on social and political themes. With an engaging and improvisational style, Adorno spoke with infectious vigour about architecture and city planning, the relationship between the individual and society, the authoritarian personality and far-right extremism, political education and the current state of sociology, among other subjects. After Auschwitz, it was incumbent on Germany to undertake intensive memory work and to confront the reality of its own moral destruction, while rebuilding its political and economic systems. To rebuild was taken to mean rediscovery and looking outward, but Adorno also nurtured a vision of tradition which – far from being unthinkingly conservative – would attest to society’s honestly-appraised relationship to the past while it underwent the process of modernization. The volume illustrates Adorno’s deep commitment to holding society to standards commensurate with the aspirations of a modern world emerging from the horrors of war. 229 x 152mm • 274 pages • UK December 2024, US March 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-5241-2 • £55.00 / $69.95 / €67.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5242-9 • £18.99 / $26.95 / €22.90 ebook available

If You Have Never Thought Grey A Theory of Color PETER SLOTERDIJK Karlsruhe School of Design Translated by Corey Anderson Dansereau If you haven’t painted grey, Paul Cézanne once said, you are not a painter. The same could be said of philosophers: if you haven’t thought grey, you are not a philosopher. Baldly stated, this might seem like a pointless provocation. Why should philosophers think about a single colour instead of devoting themselves to ethics, metaphysics or logic? But the history of philosophy lends support to Sloterdijk’s intuition. What colour are the shadows in Plato’s allegory of the cave? Did not Hegel write, ‘When philosophy paints its grey in grey, one form of life has become old, and by means of grey, it cannot be rejuvenated but only known’? And doesn’t Heidegger’s being-in-the-world imply existing in a diffuse shade of grey? Following the grey thread through the history of philosophy, art and culture, Sloterdijk reconstructs a chiaroscuro narrative which recognizes the power of grey as a metaphor for public opinion and a signifier for political and moral ambiguity. 229 x 152mm • 240 pages • UK December 2024, US March 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-5748-6 • £55.00 / $69.95 / €67.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5749-3 • £17.99 / $24.95 / €21.90 ebook available For more Sloterdijk titles, see page 23 and backlist.

The Human Animal Why We Still Don’t Fit into Nature MARKUS GABRIEL Translated by Karl von der Luft The climate crisis has forced us to recognize that we are not separate from nature but are part of the natural world on which we depend: human beings are animals. And yet we feel nevertheless that we do not entirely fit into nature, that we stand apart from other animals in some way – in what way, exactly? Markus Gabriel argues that what distinguishes humans from other animals is that humans are minded living beings who seek to understand the world and themselves and who possess ethical insight into moral contexts. The undeniable difference between us and other animals defines the human condition and places a special responsibility on us to consider our actions in the context of other living beings and our shared habitat. It also calls on us to cultivate an ethics of not-knowing: to recognize that, however much we may seek to understand the world, we will never completely master it. 229 x 152mm • 288 pages • UK November 2024, US January 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-5803-2 • £25.00 / $35.00 / €30.90 ebook available

How Nietzsche Came in From the Cold Tale of a Redemption PHILIPP FELSCH Humboldt University of Berlin Translated by Daniel Bowles ‘I became completely immersed in the lively and provocative panoramic tour of the widely diverse creative responses to Nietzsche radiating out from the circle round Colli and Montinari. “Perhaps,” the author notes, “because he himself acted out the antagonistic tendencies of the age, Nietzsche played the role of a canvas onto which the entire spectrum of twentieth century ideas could be projected.” Given that sentence, I would strike out the word “perhaps.”’ Sue Prideaux, author of I Am Dynamite!

The Self in the West and East Asia Being or Becoming JIN LI Brown University ‘This book’s comparison of the “East Asian self” with the “Western self” features extensive crosscultural knowledge of psychological theories and studies of how the self is conceived and functions. The presentation is immensely clear, engaging, and rich in its details, vivid in its recounting of the author’s illustrative personal experiences in Confucian and Western societies. Researchers in the field will benefit from this book, but perhaps more importantly, we all need to better understand one another in a world riven by misperception and antagonism.’ David Wong, Duke University ‘Jin Li brings the entire academy in all of its parts to her interrogation of how “self” has been understood within the Western and East Asian cultural narratives. The argument she mounts for fundamental cultural differences is kaleidoscopic, looking at the phenomenon of self from a broad range of intradisciplinary perspectives. Capacious and compelling, her thesis is certainly informed by her own discipline of psychology, both the theoretical and the empirical, but also by history, philosophy, philology, classical studies, and perhaps most importantly, by her own personal story.’ Roger T.

Byung-Chul Han A Critical Introduction STEVEN KNEPPER, ETHAN STONEMAN & ROBERT WYLLIE Virginia Military Institute; Hillsdale College; Ashland University ‘Han’s most striking qualities are his unfailing sense for topicality and his ability to write philosophy “for all and none“. This introduction brings coherence to a work that seems to follow the ever-changing buzzwords of the present. The authors reveal the overall ethos in Han’s thought: philosophy as a therapy to survive neoliberal modernity.’ Eva Horn, University of Vienna Byung-Chul Han is one of the most important living philosophers. In response to the idea that new technological devices expand our freedom, he argues that they lead to burnout and self-absorption and that we must redevelop contemplative practices which slow us down. He has brought to his thought forms of deep cosmopolitanism developed from both Zen Buddhism and a renewed Romanticism. This book is the first critical introduction to Han’s body of work. Knepper, Stoneman, and Wyllie explore Han’s rich oeuvre and his contributions to a range of disciplines. This lively book is essential reading for anyone getting to grips with Han’s extraordinary work.

The Spirit of Hope BYUNG-CHUL HAN Translated by Daniel Steuer These are bleak times – pandemic, wars, climate catastrophe. There are many reasons for despair. But it is precisely at such moments of fear and despair that hope arises like a phoenix from the ashes. Hope pushes forward into the unknown. It inspires fantasy and enables us to think about what is yet to come. It makes action possible in the midst of despair because it infuses our world with purpose and meaning. In this short essay on hope, Byung-Chul Han gives us the perfect antidote to the climate of fear that pervades our world. 210 x 140mm • 100 pages • UK November 2024, US January 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-6519-1 • £45.00 / $59.95 / €55.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6520-7 • £12.99 / $16.95 / €15.90

The Crisis of Narration BYUNG-CHUL HAN Translated by Daniel Steuer Narratives produce the ties that bind us. They create community, eliminate contingency and anchor us in being. And yet in our contemporary information society, where everything has become arbitrary and random, storytelling becomes storyselling and narratives lose their binding force. Whereas narratives create community, storytelling brings forth only a fleeting community – the community of consumers. No amount of storytelling could recreate the fire around which humans gather to tell each other stories. That fire has long since burnt out. It has been replaced by the digital screen, which separates people rather than bringing them together. Through storytelling, capitalism appropriates narrative: stories sell. They are no longer a medium of shared experience. The inflation of storytelling betrays a need to cope with contingency, but storytelling is unable to transform the information society back into a stable narrative community. Rather, storytelling as storyselling is a pathological phenomenon of our age. Byung-Chul Han, one of the most perceptive cultural theorists of contemporary society, dissects this crisis with exceptional insight and flair. 210 x 140mm • 96 pages • UK February 2024, US April 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6042-4 • £45.00 / $59.95 / €55.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6043-1 • £12.99 / $16.95 / €15.90 ebook available

Defending Due Process Why Fairness Matters in a Polarized World BRANDON L. GARRETT Duke University ‘Defending Due Process is stunning in its originality; in every way, a superb book that deserves a wide readership. I know of no other work like it.’ Erwin Chemerinsky, University of California, Berkeley We all feel unfairness deeply. We expect and the law requires that government officials take fairness seriously. That is why the U.S. Constitution commands, twice, that no one shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Yet in overheated debates, people argue that others do not deserve any presumption of innocence. The democratic value of due process is up for grabs. Why is process under pressure? Garrett exposes widening fault lines. One division lies within our own attitudes, and another lies in government. People are trapped in debt for unpaid fines; sheriffs seize and forfeit belongings; algorithms suspend employment; officials use flawed data to cancel healthcare; magistrates order arrestees jailed because they cannot pay cash bail. Meanwhile, the rise of AI threatens what remains of due process. Common ground matters now more than ever.

It is clear, comprehensive, careful, level-headed, humane, and fair. If you want to cut through the myths and actually understand transgender, this book is essential reading.’ Sophie Grace Chappell, The Open University ‘Real Gender is a vigorous defense of trans identities against the rising tide of anti-trans sentiment. Written by two cis-identified philosophers for a largely “cis” audience, it shoulders a burden that many of us are coming to find too soul-destroying to bear alone. Although written by two non-trans authors, the book is firmly grounded in trans theory and replete with a diversity of trans voices (thankfully sparing us the frustration of having to repeat ourselves). Moyal-Sharrock and Sandis demonstrate how non-trans philosophers might pursue trans philosophy in a way that is both affirming and useful. Smart and well-argued, this is a most welcome contribution to the burgeoning literature.’ Talia Mae Bettcher, California State University, Los Angeles Real Gender is the first book to present a cis defence of what it means to be transgender. The authors delve into the various factors which make many trans people’s experience of their gender (or lack thereof) as natural and unquestionable as that of cis people.

Effective Altruism An Introduction JACOB BAUER University of Dayton As the world faces increasingly complex problems – from pandemics to global poverty and climate change – how do we decide where to focus our efforts and resources to do the most good possible? Effective altruism offers a way to do just that, focusing on evidence and rational arguments to identify crucial issues and the most impactful ways of solving them. In this new book, philosopher Jacob Bauer cuts through the uncritical hype and wholesale dismissal around effective altruism to offer a balanced overview of this movement’s core concepts and approaches to ‘doing good better’. With examples spanning malaria-preventing bed nets to the dangers of AI, he illuminates how effective altruism is addressing some of the world’s most pressing problems, all the while acknowledging its real limitations and showcasing its immense promise.

Subjugate the Earth PHILIPP BLOM Freelance writer and historian Translated by Wieland Hoban Subjugate the Earth traces the biography of a strange idea: the idea that human beings can subdue nature and rule over it, that humans are outside and above nature. Born in Mesopotamia at the dawn of civilization, the idea of subjugating the Earth was included in the Bible, reached Europe through Christianity and spread to the entire world through colonialism. The Enlightenment gave a scientific appearance to the ambition of controlling nature but did not change the ambition itself. But every birth presages a death. Only with the climate crisis has it become apparent that the subjugation of nature must be a self-defeating ambition, because it alters and deregulates natural systems which humans depend on for their survival, precisely because they are part of nature. Told through historical episodes, individual life stories, works of art, and scientific discoveries, Subjugate the Earth tells the story of the rise and fall of an idea that has shaped our world. 229 x 152mm • 300 pages • UK November 2024, US January 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-6132-2 • £25.00 / $29.95 / €30.90 ebook available

How to Inhabit the Earth Interviews with Nicolas Truong BRUNO LATOUR Late of Sciences Po, Paris Translated by Julie Rose In a series of televised interviews in spring 2022, Bruno Latour explained, in clear and straightforward terms, how humans have changed the planet and why environmental disasters are an intrinsic part of modern life. We have now come to realize that all life depends on a thin skin of our planet that is only few kilometres thick – what scientists call the ‘critical zone’. Our capacity to continue to live on a planet we are transforming is now at risk and if we wish to survive as a species, we must put an end to the mechanisms of destruction, rethink our connection to living beings and face head-on the confrontation between the extractivists who are exploiting the Earth’s resources and the ecologists. This poignant reflection on the greatest challenge of our time is also an opportunity for Latour to explain the underlying thread that guided his work throughout his career, from his pathbreaking research on the social construction of scientific knowledge to his last writings on the Anthropocene. 216 x 138mm • 112 pages • UK October 2023, US January 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-5946-6 • £40.00 / $49.95 / €48.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5947-3 • £12.99 / $14.95 / €15.90 ebook available

If we lose the Earth, we lose our souls BRUNO LATOUR Translated by Catherine Porter and Sam Ferguson In this book Bruno Latour calls upon Christians to join the struggle to avert a climate catastrophe. First and foremost, Christians need to overcome their lack of interest in ‘earthly things’ and pay attention to the Earth at a time when it is being neglected. He also urges Christians to renew their understanding of their faith in the context of the new image of the world that has emerged from Earth system science – that of a world in which the myriad of beings that inhabit the world are interdependent and living in close proximity on a slender, fragile membrane on the surface of the planet. This new image of the world cannot fail to have an impact on the sciences, on politics and on religion, just as, in earlier centuries, the cosmology of Copernicus and Galileo upset the old order. Latour sees the ecological crisis, and the cosmological mutation that it entails, as an opportunity to convey anew, to the largest possible audience, the tradition of Christianity as it has never been appreciated before, by bringing to bear the lessons of eschatology on the great crisis that looms before us all. 216 x 138mm • 112 pages • UK February 2024, US April 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6045-5 • £40.00 / $49.95 / €48.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6046-2 • £12.99 / $14.95 / €15.90 ebook available For more Latour titles, see backlist.

The Triumph of the Slippers On the Withdrawal from the World PASCAL BRUCKNER Translated by Cory Stockwell ‘The world goes to hell in a handcart. We take refuge indoors: utopia is privatised. Pascal Bruckner watches, in his slippers, issuing these missals. If he is right, we are in trouble. How do we recover the public from civic involution, and the crippling sense of fear? These are some of the questions opened in this book. Be provoked! Be irritated! Be stimulated! Step outside!’ Peter Beilharz, Sichuan University ‘We’re in an age of sterility, Pascal Bruckner says, when fear and lassitude send the young to their rooms and attach them to screens. The lockdowns merely hastened a process of withdrawal that has proceeded for a long time. Bruckner details this condition with a surgical eye, explaining the deeper currents of present malaise. Every page has wisdom worth memorizing – “All of today’s technologies encourage incarceration under the guise of openness,” “Totalitarian powers have always wanted to govern the dreams of their citizens”...It is a dark vision, but the first step toward the light is a clearsighted understanding of where one sits.’ Mark Bauerlein, Emory University 216 x 138mm • 128 pages • UK April 2024, US July 2024 HB• 978-1-5095-5952-7 • £16.99 / $19.95 / €20.90 ebook available

Offended Freedom The Rise of Libertarian Authoritarianism CAROLIN AMLINGER & OLIVER NACHTWEY University of Basel; University of Basel and Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt Translated by Jan-Peter Herrmann Today a new kind of freedom fighter has emerged in our midst: liberal and open-minded, these individuals champion liberty and resent the imposition of more and more rules and exhortations that constrain their freedom. They are angry, disguntled, offended. Why should they have to wear a face mask, get vaccinated or follow new rules on diversity and equality? They should be free to choose. They do not long for a glorified past or the strong arm of the state but argue instead for individual freedoms at all costs – including the freedom from social constraints, the freedom from having to consider others’ feelings and the freedom from social solidarity. In this major new work, Carolin Amlinger and Oliver Nachtwey argue that this new freedom fighter is symptomatic of the rise of a new political current in western societies – what they call ‘libertarian authoritarianism’. The rise of libertarian authoritarianism is a consequence of the promise of freedom in late modernity: the individual is supposed to be mature, authentic and selfreliant. At the same time, the experience of many individuals is that of being powerless and without influence in the face of an increasingly complex world, an experience that manifests itself in resentment, anger and hostility towards democracy. Drawing on numerous case studies, Amlinger and Nachtwey create a portrait of this new social figure of our time, showing how the unbridled pursuit of individual freedom can turn into authoritarian behaviour towards others, threatening the very basis of a free and equal society. 229 x 152mm • 300 pages • UK December 2024, US February 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-6084-4 • £60.00 / $74.95 / €73.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6085-1 • £18.99 / $26.95 / €22.90 ebook available

Socialism for Today Escaping the Cruelties of Capitalism DAVID M. KOTZ University of Massachusetts Amherst Capitalism is failing us. Instead of bringing a decent life for the majority, it generates an outrageous gap between the rich and the rest, unaffordable housing, a profit-driven healthcare system, skyrocketing educational debt, racial and gender inequality, and the threat of climate disaster. Economist David Kotz argues that it’s time we built a new socialism for the unique challenges of the twenty-first century. The problems of capitalism are too profound for reform, Kotz writes. Reform can help, but only temporarily, and not for all. Nor can we turn back to the socialist experiments of the twentieth century. But we can learn from those experiments, both their successes and failures, to build a democratic and participatory economic and political system. The result would be a sustainable future of economic justice, equality, material comfort, human development, and meaningful freedom. The journey towards a new socialism may be difficult. But Kotz combines a clear and rigorous account of how socialism can be made to work with a realistic strategy for how to get there. This is the book we need to help us escape the cruelties of our capitalist present. 216 x 138mm • 224 pages • UK September 2024, US November 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6146-9 • £50.00 / $64.95 / €61.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6147-6 • £15.99 / $22.95 / €19.90 ebook available

Richer and More Equal A New History of Wealth in the West DANIEL WALDENSTRÖM Research Institute of Industrial Economics ‘Daniel Waldenström presents a new and compelling interpretation of wealth accumulation and wealth inequality over the past two centuries in advanced capitalist countries.

Some may disagree with his conclusions, but no one can afford to overlook the book.’ Branko Milanovic, author of Visions of Inequality ‘In this provocative and persuasive book, Waldenström shows us that to understand the evolution of wealth inequality, we should go beyond considering the impact of war and catastrophe.

Integrity The Rise of a Distinctive Western Idea and Its Destiny MARTIN ALBROW University of Wales in Cardiff Public life is dominated from time to time by media storms around integrity. The behaviour of elected politicians like Donald Trump and Boris Johnson has led many to decry the deterioration in standards and the lack of integrity in public life. But what is integrity, and where does our concern with integrity in public life come from? In this book Martin Albrow argues that integrity has been an essential component of the rise of the West and a key feature that distinguishes the West from other civilizations. He traces the idea of integrity back to its roots in Ancient Greece and Rome, where philosophical debates gave us the special meaning of integrity: the idea that the unity of any entity, human beings included, depends on the adherence to rules outside of it. He then follows the story of integrity through the mediaeval Christian period up to the present day. By the time we reach the twenty-first century, integrity has become a freefloating signifier that attaches to anything and everything. The result is a constant questioning of integrity without conclusive answers. We have now reached the point, argues Albrow, where the West needs to relinquish its fond belief in its singularity and strive with the rest of the world to create an order where honesty, trust and reliability in our relationships with others, friends and strangers, personal or corporate, are paramount. This highly original account of an idea that lies at the heart of Western culture will be of interest to anyone concerned about the state and future of our public life. 216 x 138mm • 200 pages • UK November 2024, US January 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-5986-2 • £20.00 / $25.00 / €24.90 ebook available

Blue Labour The Politics of the Common Good MAURICE GLASMAN Member of the House of Lords ‘Maurice Glasman was prescient in warning of the rupture between the labour movement and its working-class base. Had the movement paid heed, it may have avoided the morass in which it now finds itself. It is vital that it listens to him now.’ Paul Embery, author of Despised ‘Maurice Glasman is both one of the finest thinkers in Labour and one of the outstanding conservative thinkers of our time. His vision has much to tell us about what is broken in our politics and his prescriptions can help us heal those fractures.

Democracy Needs Religion HARTMUT ROSA Friedrich Schiller University, Jena Translated by Valentine A. Pakis ‘Hartmut Rosa has become a primary diagnostician of the contemporary predicament. In this short and provocative essay, he shows how religion, broadly understood, can help renew the efficacy of society on which democracy depends.’ Craig Calhoun, Arizona State University What role does religion play in modern societies? Is it merely an anachronism that hinders our economic growth? Is it a kind of superstition that people should be left to enjoy in private but should refrain from discussing in public? It is no secret that the Christian churches in Western societies have massive problems. But what would happen to democracy if the resonance of religion were to fade entirely? With his characteristic clarity and insight, Rosa analyses our contemporary societies and dares to ponder what would happen if the centuries-old reservoir of wisdom embedded in religion were to be lost in an ultra-modern age. 190 x 124mm • 80 pages • UK May 2024, US July 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-6122-3 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6123-0 • £9.99 / $12.95 / €12.90 ebook available

Subjectivity Transformed The cultural foundation of liberty in modernity THOMAS VESTING Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt Translated by Neil Solomon ‘In this highly original work the author sets up several ideal types of modern individuals and shows how each responds to a world of changing social and technological change. This thought-provoking analysis will be vital to academics and policy-makers alike.’ Lawrence Rosen, Princeton University This book argues that Western legal personhood is closely tied to three ideal types of social personhood. By examining thesel types and their emergence in society, we can see that Western formal law does not bring these ideal types into being but, on the contrary, arises from the conditions that these ideal types generate and reflect. 229 x 152mm • 288 pages • UK December 2023, US February 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-5335-8 • £55.00 / $69.95 / €67.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5336-5 • £18.99 / $26.95 / €22.90 ebook available

On the Essence of Language and the Question of Art MARTIN HEIDEGGER Edited by Thomas Regehly Translated by Adam Knowles ‘This volume invites us to follow Heidegger as he thinks on paper and to join in his explorations of being, language, and art. Adam Knowles’ thoughtful translation conveys the dogged inventiveness of these texts.’ Richard Polt, Xavier University ‘These starkly polysemic notes on language, poetry, and art dramatically elaborate Heidegger’s later phenomenological understanding of how poetry gives rise to both art and language, how that emergence gets disastrously eclipsed and forgotten by Western metaphysics, and what it means to rediscover being’s poetic emergence today. Here Heidegger finally thinks clearly through the distinction between “the being of entities“ (or “beingness,“ the domain of metaphysics) and “beyng“ (or “being as such,“ the heart of the matter for poetic thinking), that crucial distinction which both destroys the early “metaphysical“ project of Being and Time and launches his later work of thinking beyond metaphysics (and the nihilistic history metaphysics underwrites).’ Iain Thomson, University of New Mexico 229 x 152mm • 192 pages • 2022 HB • 978-1-5095-3598-9 • £25.00 / $35.00 / €30.90 ebook available
The Metaphysics of German Idealism A New Interpretation of Schelling’s Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Human Freedom and Matters Connected Therewith (1809) MARTIN HEIDEGGER Translated by Ian Alexander Moore ‘Unlike the course he offered on the same subject five year earlier, Heidegger’s 1941 lectures on Schelling’s “freedom essay“ demonstrate his decisive break from “metaphysics,“ including German Idealism, and allow us to see more clearly the radical reorientation of his later thought. No less fascinating is the large portion of the present volume devoted to an interpretation of Kierkegaard’s concept of existence and its relation to the (so-called) “existentialism“ of Being and Time. This excellent translation is a must read for students and scholars alike.’ Taylor Carman, Barnard College ‘Heidegger’s lecture course from 1941 not only attempts a new interpretation of Schelling’s essay on the essence of human freedom, extending his 1936 treatment of that same text, but contains a wealth of material on Heidegger’s ongoing reflections on the history of metaphysics and an important series of elucidations of Being and Time. This careful and sensitive translation will not only be of great interest to scholars of German Idealism, but is essential reading for anyone following Heidegger’s own philosophical development.’ William McNeill, DePaul University 229 x 152mm • 208 pages • 2021 HB • 978-1-5095-4010-5 • £25.00 / $35.00 / €30.90 ebook available For more Heidegger titles, see backlist.

Containing important remarks on Being and Time and other early texts, this volume will be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the inner development of Heidegger’s thought in the decade from 1938 to 1948.’ William McNeill, DePaul University ‘This volume is a welcome addition to the translation of Heidegger’s “private monographs“ from the late 1930s and 40s. Elegantly translated, it is essential reading for anyone interested in Heidegger’s views on the consummation of metaphysics in techno-scientific nihilism, the role of Being and Time in the overcoming of metaphysics, and the task of thinking in the age of the “abandonment of being“.’ Miguel de Beistegui, Pompeu Fabra University 229 x 152mm • 240 pages • 2022 HB • 978-1-5095-4004-4 • £25.00 / $35.00 / €30.90 ebook available
The Meaning of Thought MARKUS GABRIEL University of Bonn Translated by Alex Englander ‘One of the youngest protagonists on the global intellectual stage, Markus Gabriel has designed the architecture of a “New Realism“ that inspires specialists and readers alike yearning for an intellectual challenge. Conceiving of philosophy as a theory of thought, he shows how understanding our relationship to the world begins with abandoning the premise that we could ever be separated from it. Doing philosophy along the movements of Gabriel’s text thus turns into a pleasurable fulfilment of human existence.’ Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Stanford University ‘Markus Gabriel is an important and critical voice in the discourse about artificial intelligence, data and technology. He criticizes today’s AI mythologies from a fundamentally humanistic perspective about the nature of thought itself.

In tracing this institutio vitae, Esposito progressively reveals a new theory of the institution as neither conservative nor repressive, but a creative form of life that liberates us from the twin dangers of institutional sclerosis and anti-institutional anarchy.’ Arthur Bradley, Lancaster University 216 x 138mm • 128 pages • 2022 HB • 978-1-5095-5155-2 • £40.00 / $64.95 / €48.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5156-9 • £14.99 / $19.95 / €18.90 ebook available
Instituting Thought Three Paradigms of Political Ontology ROBERTO ESPOSITO Translated by Mark William Epstein ‘In a moment of rampaging populism and political stress tests of democracy, Roberto Esposito’s Instituting Thought offers a way forward toward the renewal of politics by reimagining the political. That his reading begins and ends with Machiavelli is only one of the many surprises in store for the reader in Esposito’s attempt to move past political theology toward a more affirmative configuration of political ontology. Esposito leaves behind Heidegger and Deleuze in favor of Machiavelli and of Claude Lefort’s nuanced reading of institutions and, in the process, sets out a manifesto for institutions and subjectivation in the wake of biopolitcal devastation and political nihilism. This is his most important work since Bios .’ Tim Campbell, Cornell University 229 x 152mm • 256 pages • 2021 HB • 978-1-5095-4642-8 • £55.00 / $69.95 / €67.90 PB • 978-1-5095-4643-5 • £18.99 / $26.95 / €22.90 ebook available For more Esposito titles, see backlist.

This is a book that makes you stop and think after nearly every sentence.’ Colin Crouch, University of Warwick ‘Ethical Violence is a timely book, a theoretical vade mecum for dark times, simultaneously ambitious and cautious, taking the reader on unusual paths from ancient philosophers to contemporary social scientists, questioning what is taken for granted about the distinction between rationality and irrationality. A needed reflection on the crisis of late modernity.’ Didier Fassin, Collège de France and Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton Human civilization is founded on ethical principles and when violence becomes ethical, we must begin to fear for our future. Today, we are witnessing the growing prevalence of aggression and emotionality in social and political life.

Di Cesare anatomises the complex scenarios of malevolent forces, plots and secrets that thrive in the margins of media democracies and discovers they are less cause than consequence of the closing of contemporary public space.’ Howard Caygill, Goldsmiths, University of London Conspiracy theories are not so much about truth as about power. Rather than seeking to debunk conspiracy theories as the work of fringe groups and cranks, Donatella Di Cesare develops an original account that portrays conspiracy as the spectre of a shattered community. 216 x 138mm • 128 pages • UK November 2023, US January 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-5487-4 • £40.00 / $49.95 / €48.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5488-1 • £12.99 / $14.95 / €15.90 ebook available

Uncertain Times JACQUES RANCIÈRE Translated by Andrew Brown ‘One of our most original radical philosophers explores why the post-Cold War consensus anticipating global liberal democracy unfolded its opposite. Critically interrogating idioms of populism, secularism, class struggle, democracy, and more, this timely and brilliant collection tracks the domination in consensus itself, placing all bets for an emancipatory, egalitarian future on uprisings that break it.’ Wendy Brown, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton The global triumph of democracy was announced thirty years ago, promising an age of consensus which would give birth to a world at peace. Today, these grand hopes have been destroyed, and the era touted as new and exceptional has turned out to be remarkably similar to the old order: this book delivers a frank assessment of it. 216 x 138mm • 176 pages • UK February 2024, US April 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-5867-4 • £50.00 / $64.95 / €61.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5868-1 • £15.99 / $22.95 / €19.90 ebook available

Rethinking Emancipation Conversations with Aliocha Wald Lasowski JACQUES RANCIÈRE Translated by Andrew Brown Faced with growing inequalities and new forms of domination and exploitation, can the movement of emancipation take on a new life today, or has it been arrested by the powers of repression and normalization? In order to address this question, Jacques Rancière pays close attention to the sociopolitical rhythms of our time, listening for the figures of trembling and oscillation that are often drowned out by the deafening hubbub of the media. He questions the relationship between democracies and the very concept of democracy, and questions what, in the social movements and protests taking place today, offers a possibility of emancipation. Emancipation means breaking out of the established hierarchies, proposing a ludic attitude of free-floating distance and bringing into it a space of equality to replace the dominant order of inequalities. In five conversations on politics, art, literature, philosophy and cinema, Jacques Rancière and Aliocha Wald Lasowski consider the form, experience and collectives which characterise emancipation. In so doing, they imagine the world of tomorrow and the radical utopias that will bring it closer to us. 190 x 124mm • 148 pages • UK September 2024, US November 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-5922-0 • £35.00 / $45.00 / €42.90 PB • 978-1-5095-5923-7 • £9.99 / $12.95 / €12.90 ebook available

Becoming a Woman Simone de Beauvoir and the Politics of Trans Existence MEGAN BURKE Sonoma State University This inspired analysis of the contemporary, global social and political landscape of trans antagonisms draws specific attention to ‘gender-critical’ mobilizations of Simone de Beauvoir’s account of becoming a woman in The Second Sex to advance and justify trans exclusionary positions. Through a careful examination and application of Beauvoir’s philosophical and political commitments, Becoming a Woman explores the significance of her notion of becoming as not only affirmative of trans women, but also as an ethical demand to affirm trans possibilities. More than a reply to gender-critical readings of Beauvoir, this book develops an original, Beauvoirian ethics of gender affirmation offering that shows why we ought to challenge trans exclusion and anti-trans movements. 216 x 138mm • 160 pages • UK November 2024, US January 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-6198-8 • £45.00 / $59.95 / €55.90 PB • 978-1-5095-6199-5 • £14.99 / $19.95 / €18.90 ebook available

The Philosophy of Religion A Critical Introduction Third Edition BEVERLEY CLACK & BRIAN R. CLACK Oxford Brookes University; University of San Diego ‘An engaging and accessible book which gives a clear critical account of some of the standard topics in philosophy of religion, and also includes stimulating discussion of how religious belief relates to the very human problems of identity, transience, and mortality.’ John Cottingham, University of Reading ‘This lucid introduction goes beyond the common approaches in Anglo-American philosophy of religion to include engagements with contemporary social movements (feminism, religious violence). The presentations of the usual topics – God’s existence and attributes, miracles, evil, death and immortality – show clearly and fairly the shapes of the debates on these issues. By basing their approach in religion as a human (but not always humane) experience, the Clacks provide a splendid path into the field.’ Terrence W.

Decolonizing Economics An Introduction CAROLINA ALVES, DEVIKA DUTT, SURBHI KESAR & INGRID HARVOLD KVANGRAVEN University College London; King’s College London; SOAS, University of London; King’s College London Is economics a neutral scientific field, or is it riddled with eurocentric biases that stem from its origins in the development of capitalism, colonialism, and slavery? This book makes the case that economics cannot extricate itself from its highly problematic imperial context without a rigorous process of decolonization, which must involve questioning and re-assessing the development of the field and how it came to be represented as a universal and objective science. In doing so, argue the authors, we can challenge the existing intellectual hierarchies and show that the field as it stands now has become ill-equipped to tackle the critical questions of our time, such as structural racism, environmental crisis, informal labour relations and the role of power in shaping economic outcomes. A decolonized economics can help us pioneer alternative – and better – ways of understanding economic questions by introducing key interventions by non-Western thinkers and non-eurocentric theories. This is a critical guide for anyone intellectually curious to understand how economics can be decolonized and what can be learned from a decolonized economics. 216 x 138mm • 256 pages • UK October 2024, US December 2024 HB • 978-1-5095-4547-6 • £50.00 / $64.95 / €61.90 PB • 978-1-5095-4548-3 • £15.99 / $22.95 / €19.90 ebook available

Decolonizing Anthropology An Introduction SOUMHYA VENKATESAN University of Manchester Decolonization has been a buzzword in anthropology for decades. This groundbreaking volume offers not only an anthropology of decolonization, but new ways of thinking about the relationship between anthropology and colonialism, and how we might move beyond colonialism’s troubling legacy, particularly in the metropole. Soumhya Venkatesan argues that the word ‘decolonization’ is simultaneously too broad and too narrow. In compelling prose, she describes the work already underway and the work still needed – in research, writing and teaching – to extend the horizons of the discipline. She explores a range of concepts including Achille Mbembe’s disenclosure, Cheryl Mattingly’s moral experiments, Miranda Fricker’s epistemic justice, and Gurminder Bhambra’s epistemological justice, and domestication. Throughout, she emphasises the potential of ethnography as a way of both knowing diverse worlds and of being with others in them. Rich with insights from a range of fields, Decolonizing Anthropology is a go-to book for students and scholars. 216 x 138mm • 224 pages • UK December 2024, US February 2025 HB • 978-1-5095-4059-4 • £50.00 / $64.95 / €61.90 PB • 978-1-5095-4060-0 • £16.99 / $22.95 / €20.90 ebook available

Some wars are simply wars. But other, often less known wars, are devastating in their capacity to alter an epoch even if this is not immediately evident.
