Until recently, Baruch Spinoza's standing in Anglophone studies of philosophy has only seemed to confirm Heinrich Jacobi's assessment of him as "a dead dog." However, an exuberant outburst of scholarship on Spinoza has of late come to dominate work on early modern philosophy. While the 26 essays in this volume--by many of the world's leading Spinoza specialists--grapple directly with Spinoza's most important arguments, these essays also seek to identify and explain Spinoza's debts to previous philosophy, his influence on later philosophers, and his significance for contemporary philosophy and for humanity.

Marx, Revolution, and Social Democracy argues that Marx should be understood as a social democrat. In response to claims that Marx is either totalitarian, utopian, or not a democrat, Philip J. Kain presents a four-fold argument concerning the relationship between Marx and social democracy: that Marxian socialist society is compatible with a market economy (as long as markets are controlled to eliminate alienation), that markets can be controlled democratically, that Marx accepted a democratic electoral theory of revolution, and that Marx and Engels worked actively with the Social Democratic Party of Germany.

The Protestant conviction that believers would rise again, in bodily form, after death, shaped their attitudes towards personal and religious identity, community, empire, progress, race, and the environment. In To Walk the Earth Again Christopher Trigg explores the political dimension of Anglo-American Protestant writing about the future resurrection of the dead, examining texts written between the seventeenth and mid-nineteenth centuries.

This book tells a new story about patterns of public and private grantmaking from the 1950s to the 1970s, a period during which the United States witnessed a remarkable expansion in arts patronage.

Thoughtful Images demonstrates that there is a rich tradition of illustrations of philosophy that originated in Ancient Greece, spread throughout Europe, thrived in twentieth century America, and continues to this day. Illustration is not generally regarded as a genuine art form on a par with painting and sculpture and many believe that the abstract claims made by philosophers are not amenable to being rendered in visual images. Wartenberg shows that the denigration of illustration as an art form is misguided in a number of ways.

In Theocratic Secularism, author Naser Ghobadzadeh questions the religious logic used to legitimize the rule of the clergy in Iran. Ghobadzadeh argues that orthodox shi'ism considers the institution of government to be outside the realm of religion and religious leaders. Coining the term 'theocratic secularism', Ghobadzadeh ultimately argues for the re-instatement of a form of political secularism in Iran.

A sweeping history of nineteenth-century America, this book shows how slavery shaped immigration policy in the United States during the years when states controlled mobility within and across their borders.
