This book offers a new understanding of naturalism and normativity by integrating them within a process metaphysics framework. Rejecting all forms of transcendence, Dionysis Christias advances a conception of ‘fractured immanence’ in which mind and nature are not ontologically distinct regions of being (they are both ways of being processes) yet diverge in the order of understanding, a tension enabling their ongoing self-correcting interplay as concepts without presupposing transcendence o...

Quel ou qui est ce mystérieux katéchon ? Quelle force désigne ce terme capable de « retenir » la course vers l’abîme des sociétés humaines, au moins pour un certain temps ? Terme rare, présent chez Paul, et dont ce livre veut retracer l’histoire, et rechercher l’origine. Ainsi, Augustin avoue sa perplexité mais adhère à l’interprétation commune qui assimile le katéchon au pouvoir politique de Rome, identification aussi bien erronée que dangereuse. Si le mystère est resté intact jusqu’à nos...

Some of the most brutal and long-lasting civil wars of our time involve the rapid formation and disintegration of alliances among warring groups, as well as fractionalization within them. It would be natural to suppose that warring groups form alliances based on shared identity considerations - such as Christian groups allying with Christian groups - but this is not what we see. Two groups that identify themselves as bitter foes one day, on the basis of some identity narrative, might be al...

This book brings together the work of Wilfrid Sellars with work in 20th century phenomenology and 21st century speculative realism in order to think through one of the most important predicaments of contemporary philosophy. As a result of the disenchantment of nature in late modernity, philosophy has struggled to account for the place of persons, construed as loci of normative authority and responsibility, within a scientifically, naturalistically described world, bereft of values...

Gender is a highly salient and important social group that shapes how children interact with others and how they are treated by others. In this Element, we offer an overview and review of the research on gender development in childhood from a developmental science perspective. We first define gender and the related concepts of sex and gender identity. Second, we discuss how variations in cultural context shape gender development around the world and how variations within gender groups add ...

We need only scan the latest news headlines to see how bias and prejudice harm adults and children alike—every single day.Police shootings that give rise to the Black Lives Matter revolution, rampant sexual harassment of women and the subsequent #MeToo movement, and extreme violence toward trans men and women are just three examples.It would be easy to fix these problems if the examples stopped with a few racist or sexist individuals, but there are also bia...
