Thomas Merton: Social Critic organizes and critically analyzes the social thought of the Cistercian monk who has become an internationally known symbol of the spiritual element in man. The author evaluated all of Merton's writings, published and unpublished, then discussed his interpretations with Merton personally. The result is a perceptive relation of Merton's social thought to its genesis in his own life experiences and contemplation, a faithful rendering of Merton's thought on the problems of our time.Merton, the author makes clear, called for a spiritual, social, and religious union.

Questo volume raccoglie i risultati delle attività del Laboratorio di studi internazionali gramsciani (GramsciLab) e nasce dall'esigenza, condivisa fra colleghe e colleghi di diverse aree scientifiche, ma accomunati dalla specializzazione in studi storico-politici e linguistici in determinati contesti d'area, di procedere a una più ampia 'mappatura' della diffusione del pensiero di Antonio Gramsci. L'attenzione è rivolta a Paesi dell'Asia, dell'Africa e dell'America Latina, dove le analisi e le riflessioni su alcune importanti categorie analitiche gramsciane si sviluppano da decenni con sempre più vigore e sorprendenti risultati, spesso poco noti, soprattutto in Italia (anche, ma non solo, a causa delle difficoltà linguistiche). This volume collects the results of the activities of the Hub for International Gramscian Studies (GramsciLab) and stems from the need, shared among colleagues from different scientific areas but united by specialization in historical-political and linguistic studies in specific area contexts, to proceed to a broader 'mapping' of the diffusion of Antonio Gramsci's thought. The focus is on countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, where analyses and reflections on some important Gramscian analytical categories have been developing for decades with increasing vigor and surprising results, often little known, especially in Italy (not only for linguistic difficulties).

"Spinoza's political thought has been subject to a significant revival of interest in recent years. As a response to difficult times, students and scholars have returned to this founding figure of modern philosophy as a means to help reinterpret and rethink the political present. Spinoza's Authority Volume I: Resistance and Power in Ethics makes a significant contribution to this ongoing reception and utilization of Spinoza's political thought by focusing on his posthumously published Ethics. By taking the concept of authority as an original framework, this books asks: How is authority related to ethics, ontology, and epistemology? What are the social, historical and representational processes that produce authority and resistance? And what are the conditions of effective resistance? Spinoza's Authority features a roster of internationally established theorists of Spinoza's work, and covers key elements of Spinoza's political philosophy, including: questions of authority, the resistance to authority, sovereign power, democratic control, and the role of Spinoza's "multitudes"."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

This book explores the theology and philosophy of the distinguished modern Muslim scholar and theologian Bediuzzaman Said Nursi [d.1960]. Nursi wrote in both Ottoman Turkish and Arabic and his life and thought reflected the transition of modern Turkey from an empire to a secular republic. The contributors to this volume shed new light on two major dimensions of Nursi's thought: theodicy and justice. Classical Muslim theologians debated these two important issues; however, we must consider the modern debate of these issues in the context of the radical political and social transformations of mo
