DETERMINANTS DE LA PARTICIPATION AUX DEPISTAGES ORGANISES DES CANCERS SUR L ILE DE NOIRMOUTIERS
Authors: GRESSIER M , LEROUX S , VINCENT-SWEET Y , BIANCO G , BANASZUK AS , VARTANIAN C
Published: February 2025

Contexte. Les dépistages organisés des cancers (DOC) en France concernent les cancers du sein, colorectal et du col de l’utérus. Les taux de participation sur l’île de Noirmoutier sont parmi les plus faibles en région Pays de la Loire et sont inférieurs aux objectifs nationaux.
Objectif. Étudier les déterminants de la participation aux DOC, du point de vue des patients et des professionnels de santé (PS).
Méthode. Étude qualitative inductive générale avec des focus groups (FG) auprès des patients. Les critères d’inclusion étaient d’habiter sur l’île et être éligible aux DOC. Réalisation d’entretiens semi-directifs (EP) auprès des PS avec recrutement exhaustif des médecins généralistes (MG) et de la sage-femme en exercice sur le territoire entre 2015 et 2019.
Résultats. Onze FG, rassemblant 66 patients, et 12 EP, ont été menés. Les difficultés locales d’accès aux soins, en lien avec la baisse de la démographie médicale, constituaient un frein à la réalisation des DOC. Le manque de disponibilité des MG était limitant pour le prélèvement cervico-utérin et la délivrance du test immunologique fécal (TIF). Les délais d’attente et la distance des centres de mammographie étaient problématiques. Les patients se sentant peu concernés étaient difficiles à mobiliser par les PS. Une relation médecin-patient de confiance, permettant un partage de la décision, facilitait l’acceptation des DOC. Optimiser les campagnes d’information et la sensibilisation des publics cibles serait un appui pour les PS.
Conclusion. Cette étude a permis d’identifier l’accès aux soins comme principal obstacle aux DOC sur un territoire rural et îlien. Les leviers étaient l’amélioration de la démographie médicale, de l’accès à la mammographie et au TIF, de l’information des publics concernés, et le développement d’outils d’aide à la décision.
Réseaux marchands, comptoirs côtiers et piraterie : l’Asie maritime du XVIe au XVIIe siècle
Authors: Gipouloux François
Published: February 2025

L’espace maritime de l’Asie de l’est a été caractérisé, aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles, par la désagrégation du commerce tributaire, la recrudescence de la piraterie, la reconfiguration des défenses côtières, l’apparition d’un domaine sans État à Taïwan, et une transition dynastique Ming-Qing violente et chaotique. Quelles sont les lignes de force qui le polarisent ? Quels en sont les acteurs ? La Chine maritime et sa périphérie forment un continuum terre-mer dans lequel s’enchevêtrent échanges encadrés par des licences, régime fiscal différencié, contrebande et piraterie. Alors que la période marque la fin d’un ordre sinocentrique, l’Asie maritime est désormais un espace animé par la concurrence entre marchands. Une logique territoriale s’affronte à une logique floue et flexible, animée par des acteurs multiples et souvent insaisissables.
Au-delà de la manière douce. La stratégie missionnaire des frères philippins en Chine et au Japon (1575-v. 1639)
Authors: Iaccarino Ubaldo
Published: February 2025

Vers le milieu du XVIIe siècle, la controverse sur les rites chinois éclata en Europe : la querelle des rites orthodoxes et non orthodoxes quant à la manière de répandre l’Évangile en Asie opposa, pendant plusieurs décennies, les missionnaires des ordres mendiants à la Compagnie de Jésus. Les Jésuites étaient alors accusés d’agir tels des mandarins et se trouvaient sur le banc des accusés pour avoir accepté des croyances et des pratiques païennes. Les accusations avaient déjà commencé à la fin du XVIe siècle, bien avant que les frères philippins n’eussent pénétré en Chine. Que reprochaient les Franciscains, les Dominicains et les Augustins aux méthodes des Jésuites et quelle était leur première approche de l’Asie et de ses peuples ? Les pages qui suivent donnent un aperçu des différentes stratégies missionnaires adoptées par les frères auprès des Chinois et des Japonais, depuis les premiers contacts jusqu’à l’éclatement de la querelle sur les rites chinois.

The Nusantara Interpretation By Bugis Scholars: Social And Local Dimensions Of Al-Munir Tafsir By Agh. Daud Ismail
Authors: Haris Abd. Haris , Nurfaika Nurfaika
Published: February 2025

This essay explains the Nusantara interpretation, specifically the Al-Munir Tafsir authored by AGH Daud Ismail, a prominent Bugis scholar from South Sulawesi. The interpretation plays a significant role in conveying Quranic messages in alignment with the social conditions surrounding the exegete. This study aims to investigate and analyze selected Quranic verses, subsequently examining their significance within the local societal context. The research employs a qualitative methodology utilizing literary review techniques, with a focused analysis of the Bugis Al-Munir Tafsir. Moreover, a phenomenological approach is utilized to establish connections between textual interpretation and social contexts. The article’s findings reveal that AGH. Daud Ismail developed a contextual interpretation model that demonstrates profound sensitivity to the social dynamics of Bugis society. This is evident in the strategic selection of Lontarak linguistic expressions readily comprehensible to the Bugis community. This research discovered that the Al-Munir Tafsir transcends mere translation and interpretation of the Quran based on the exegete's immediate requirements; instead, its interpretative approach facilitates the community's understanding of the Quranic text. Specifically, this research highlights the author's utilization of local language and linguistic expressions as a methodological strategy to transform Quranic messages into the cultural reality of Bugis society. This study is anticipated to contribute to enriching the scholarly landscape of Nusantara tafsir studies by presenting an interpretation model that is responsively attuned to the social contexts of the Bugis community in South Sulawesi, with broader implications for advancing more contextual and inclusive interpretation methodologies.

Religious Pluralism In Tafsir Al-Mizan: Thabathaba'i Perspective And Its Relevance In Multicultural Indonesia
Authors: Gafar Lalu Abdul , Nurusshobah Nurusshobah
Published: February 2025

Indonesia's diverse society, with its multitude of ethnicities, religions, and cultures, stands as both a profound asset and a significant challenge. While this diversity is a source of immense social wealth, it can also lead to conflict if not properly managed. Religious tolerance plays a central role in ensuring social harmony, as religion often serves as a strong identity marker that may create divisions or competition among groups. In this context, Islamic moderation presents a peaceful way to combat radicalism and extremism. This study examines the views of Allama Tabatabai in his al-Mizan fi Tafsir al-Quran regarding religious pluralism, exploring its relevance to fostering tolerance and social unity in Indonesia. Using a qualitative, library-based research approach, data was gathered from various sources, including Qur'anic commentaries, academic journals, and related literature. The findings suggest that while religious pluralism can be a sensitive issue, it also offers a foundation for strengthening social tolerance. Thabathaba’i argues that salvation in the afterlife is not determined solely by one’s religion but by faith in God, belief in the Day of Judgment, and good deeds. This inclusive perspective offers a framework for understanding religious differences in Indonesia. Ultimately, the research demonstrates that understanding religious pluralism through Tabatabai's interpretation can promote a more harmonious and tolerant society, where Islamic moderation and respect for diversity are key to building social unity amid Indonesia’s diverse and globalized environment. This research is innovative in applying Tabatabai's thoughts to the Indonesian context, highlighting their potential for enhancing social harmony amidst diversity.
The Influence Of Prayer On The Morals Of Muslim Adolescents In The Perspective Of Surat Al-Ankabut Verse 45
Authors: Pertiwi Anggi Amelia , Ali Zaky Mumtaz
Published: February 2025

Prayer plays an important role in shaping noble morals, as explained in the Qur’an. But, today’s teenagers face many challenges in the form of moral crises, evident from the rising cases of juvenile delinquency, some even leading to criminal acts. This shows that not all Muslim teenagers are able to reflect the values of prayer in their morals. This research aims to analyze the interpretation of Surah Al-Ankabut verse 45, which discusses the influence of prayer in preventing immoral and evil acts, and to measure how prayer influences the character if adolescents. This research uses a mixed method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative method is applied through the analysis of qur’anic interpretation using Analytical Exegesis (Al-Tafsir al-Tahlili) while the quantitative method is used to analyze numerical data using SPSS software. The research presents two main findings. First, according to the Qur’anic Exegetes, prayer effective in preventing immoral and wicked deeds must encompass three aspects: Fi‘liyah (implementation), Qauliyah (recitation), Qalbiyah (heart contemplation). Second, the quantitative analysis shows that prayer has a significant influence on students' morals, contributing 14,9%. These findings emphasize the importance of deep understanding and correct implementation of prayer in shaping good character among students. The novelty of this research is in its holistic approach to the practice of prayer, which not only measures the frequency of prayer but also assesses student understanding of prayer and the noble values contained in its practice.
The Paradigm Of The Word Hanif In The Qur'an: A Study Of Mawdu'i Tafsir
Authors: Sihabudin Sihabudin , Hadani Abdullah
Published: February 2025

Mawdu’i commentary is a method of Quranic interpretation that analyzes a specific surah or gathers verses with similar themes under one topic. This study employs a mawdu’i approach to examine the meaning of hanif in the Qur’an, focusing on verses that explicitly contain the word without including its derivations. The objective is to determine the criteria of the hanif religion practiced by Prophet Ibrahim while comparing interpretations from Meccan and Medinan period verses. Additionally, this research explores scholarly perspectives to contextualize the concept of hanif in Islamic theology. Using a qualitative mawdu’i approach, this study integrates linguistic, theological, and historical analyses. Its novelty lies in the contextual comparison of Quranic revelations, offering a dynamic interpretation of hanif. The findings reveal five key characteristics of the hanif religion: an inclination toward monotheism, sincerity in worship, belief in all messengers of Allah, orientation toward the Kaaba and Hajj, and a strong commitment to affirming Allah’s Oneness. This research highlights the Quranic legitimacy of Islam as the continuation of Ibrahim’s millah, distinguishing it from Jewish and Christian claims. By providing a structured thematic analysis, this study enhances the understanding of hanif and its relevance in contemporary Islamic thought. It emphasizes hanif as a foundational principle of monotheism, guiding Muslims in faith and devotion to Allah.
Deuteronomy Of Taghleeb In The Word Of Al-Abawani, Al-Masyriqani And Al-Bahrani In The Quran (Semantic Approach To The Quran)
Authors: Fikri Muhammad Wildan Ali , Akbar Ahmad Fadly Rahman , Suharto Ahmad , Habibulloh Ilham
Published: February 2025

Some people only know the general form of tasniyah, even though there is another form, namely Deuteronomy of taghlib. Therefore, this research aims to discuss in detail the Deuteronomy of taghlib, especially in the three words as al-abawani, al-masyriqani, and al-bahrani. The novelty in the research is discussing the Deuteronomy of taghlib with Thosihiko Izutsu's Semantic Approach. Based on the literature reviewed, there has been limited in-depth discussion of the deuteronomy of taghlib. Therefore, this study argues that a detailed examination of the deuteronomy of taghlib in the Quran is essential. This research employed a library research. Followed by an analysis of the meanings of these three words based on Quranic semantics according to Thosihiko Izutsu, a Japanese linguist. The findings of this research indicate that the word al-abawani is the dual form of al-abu (father). In the Quran, al-abawani refers to both parents (father and mother) and is related to inheritance. In other verses, it refers to the two grandfathers of Prophet Yusuf: Prophet Ibrahim and Ishaq. In another context, al-abawani is interpreted as Adam and Eve in relation to their expulsion from Paradise. The word al-masyriqani is the dual form of masyriq, meaning "place of sunrise." In the Quran, al-masyriqani refers to the place of sunrise and sunset. In other verses, it is interpreted as the place of sunrise during summer and winter. Finally, the word al-bahrani is the dual form of al-bahru, meaning "sea." In the Quran, al-bahrani is interpreted as the meeting point of two seas.

The Trickster Brain
Authors: Williams David
Published: February 2025

Until recently, scientific and literary cultures have existed side-by-side but most often in parallel universes, without connection. The Trickster Brain: Neuroscience, Evolution, and Nature by David Williams addresses the premise that humans are a biological species stemming from the long process of evolution, and that we do exhibit a universal human nature, given to us through our genes. From this perspective, literature is shown to be a product of our biological selves. By exploring central ideas in neuroscience, evolutionary biology, linguistics, music, philosophy, ethics, religion, and history, Williams shows that it is the circuitry of the brain’s hard-wired dispositions that continually create similar tales around the world: “archetypal” stories reflecting ancient tensions that arose from our evolutionary past and the very construction of our brains. The book asserts that to truly understand literature, one must look at the biological creature creating it. By using the lens of science to examine literature, we can see how stories reveal universal aspects of the biological mind. The Trickster character is particularly instructive as an archetypal character who embodies a raft of human traits and concerns, for Trickster is often god, devil, musical, sexual, silver tongued, animal, and human at once, treading upon the moral dictates of culture.

Williams brings together science and the humanities, demonstrating a critical way of approaching literature that incorporates scientific thought.
Daring to Feel
Authors: Santos Jody
Published: February 2025

Thou shall remain objective' is the number-one newsroom commandment, but lately cracks have begun to appear in the news media's objective fa_ade. American journalists have been pushed to the emotional brink with such recent tragedies and September 11th and Virginia Tech. Like social scientists, reporters are expected to be immune to, and even aloof from, the pain and suffering they chronicle. Daring to Feel: Violence, the News Media, and Their Emotions challenges this journalistic mandate, particularly as it pertains to the emotional topic of violence. Interviewing journalists who have covered some of the worst tragedies in our nation's history, Jody Santos shows what happens when the news media dare to feel. No longer detached observers, they are free to see violence in all of its emotional complexity. In allowing themselves to experience the rage, helplessness and fear of those who have survived violence, these reporters tell deeper, more moving stories-stories that hopefully will have a profound effect on the way society views and confronts devastating problems such as child abuse and school massacres. Daring to Feel is not a call to scrap objectivity but an attempt to rebalance journalism's hierarchical relationship between thinking and feeling; rather, Santos creates an insightful new dialogue about the value of emotionally engaged reporting.
The Religion Clauses of the First Amendment
Authors: West Ellis M.
Published: February 2025

The First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution begins: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . . ." The Supreme Court has consistently held that these words, usually called the "religion clauses," were meant to prohibit laws that violate religious freedom or equality. In recent years, however, a growing number of constitutional law and history scholars have contended that the religion clauses were not intended to protect religious freedom, but to reserve the states' rights to legislate on. If the states' rights interpretation of the religion clauses were correct and came to be accepted by the Supreme Court, it could profoundly affect the way the Court decides church-state cases involving state laws. It would allow the states to legislate on religion-even to violate religious freedom, discriminate on the basis of religion, or to establish a particular religion. This book carefully, thoroughly, and critically examines all the arguments for such an interpretation and, more importantly, all the available historical evidence. It concludes that the clauses were meant to protect religious freedom and equality of the individuals not the states' rights
Metaphysical Problems, Political Solutions
Authors: Sokolowski Asaf Z.
Published: February 2025

In defiance of the predominant pattern of reading liberal political thought in isolation from the metaphysical and theological investigations of its classic thinkers, Metaphysical Problems, Political Solutions: Self, State, and Nation in Hobbes and Locke seeks to place their writings in context. Asaf Z. Sokolowski demonstrates that the political measures offered by theorists to remedy the social state of instability, known as the 'state of nature,' are intrinsically connected to distinctive metaphysical conceptions of the relationship between order and individuation. In each system of thought the origin and role of the self are determined by a particular conception of a created and evolving universal order. In turn, each version of order must contend with the vital question of how the individual is able to sustain a continuous identity. Thus, contrary to conventional thinking, it becomes apparent that the political theory developed by thinkers like Hobbes and Locke is predicated less on a security threat than on a debilitating insecurity concern, derived from ontological identity difficulties. This identity-focused reinterpretation of the liberal tradition transforms differences between key thinkers, previously reduced to nuance, into pivotal discords that shed a new light on the theoretical underpinnings of the self, the state, and the nation. As such, it will be valuable to scholars of political theory, metaphysics, theology, social science, and law.
Mead and Modernity
Authors: Carreira da Silva Filipe
Published: February 2025

Filipe Carreira da Silva addresses the basic questions 'How should we read Mead?' and 'Why should we read Mead today' by showing that the history of ideas and theory-building are closely-related endeavors. Following a contextualist approach in exploring the meaning of Mead's writings, Carreira da Silva reads the entire corpus of Mead's published and unpublished writings in light of the context in which they were originally produced, from concrete events like the American involvement in World War I to more general debates like that of the nature of modernity. Mead and Modernity attests to the relevance of Mead's ideas by assessing the relative merits of his responses to three fundamental modern problematics: science, selfhood, and democratic politics. The outcome is an innovative intellectual portrait of Mead as a seminal thinker whose contributions extend beyond his well-known social theory of the self and include important insights into the philosophy of science and radical democratic theory.

Palestine in the Egyptian Press follows the evolution of the press institution in modern Egypt, as well as of the prominent role the Palestine question played in its rise to political prominence. Through the lens of the press, author Ghada Hashem Talhami studies the development of democracy under authoritarian rule, as successive Egyptian regimes struggled to curb and contain the power of the fourth estate. The Palestine question began to impinge on Egypt's consciousness after World War I, largely due to the manifest pro-Zionist sentiments of a segment of the Jewish population. At the same time, rising Islamic groups and pan-Arabist circles engaged in the national identity debate and quickly seized control of the Palestine question as the most vulnerable area of Egypt's security, identity, and borders. Following the evolution of the press under Nasser, Sadat, and Mubarak, Palestine in the Egyptian Press explores the restrictions and freedoms allowed to the media. There is no better reference to explain the press syndicate's rise to prominence, the success of generations of journalists in establishing Arabic as the formal language of Egypt, or the Palestine issue as the centerpiece of Egypt's pan-Arab policies.
Telling, Turning Moments in the Classical Political World
Authors: Blits Jan H.
Published: February 2025

Turning, Telling Moments in the Classical Political World examines developments in the classical political world which are both turning and telling moments. All the moments_from Theseus's founding of Athens to Augustus's establishment of the Principate_possess the double character of being turning points and revealing fundamental aspects of the ancient political world. While most books on ancient history are chiefly concerned with questions of literary sources and historical accuracy, this book deals with the significance of the facts and reports themselves. Blits treats the ancient histories as works of reflection rather than works of research. Instead of focusing on whether, or how, the ancient historians meet the professional standards of present-day historiography, Blits reveals the way they themselves understand-and intend us to understand-the ancient world.
Chinese Energy Futures and Their Implications for the United States
Authors: Eberling George G.
Published: February 2025

China's rise in the global arena is undeniably altering the global status quo. Its rise is closely linked to and reflected in its rising dependence on imported oil, adroit soft power, economic prowess and corresponding impressive economic growth, its military modernization, and its strategic engagement of the world as an alternative model of political and economic development. As the status quo changes, the United States theoretically becomes less influential politically, economically, and militarily, because China is skillfully harnessing and strategically exercising the elements of national power to acquire scarce oil energy resources in the Near East, Western Hemisphere, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Chinese Energy Futures and Their Implications for the United States, by George Eberling, examines how Chinese oil energy specifically will shape future Sino-American relations under conditions of dependency and non-dependency, and whether competition or cooperation for scarce energy resources will result. Eberling uses both scenario analysis and the PRINCE method to examine three possible Chinese oil energy futures: Competitive Dependency, Competitive Surplus, and Cooperative Surplus. Chinese Energy Futures also discusses and evaluates the strategic implications of these scenarios with respect to the United States.
The Individual Without Passions
Authors: Pulcini Elena
Published: February 2025

The Individual without Passions: Modern Individualism and the Loss of the Social Bond offers an innovative look at an extremely timely and important issue—individualism—from the point of view of a theory of passions. This book underlines the importance of the problem of the passions in both forming individual identity and building the social bond. Drawing inspiration from classic authors that represent fundamental milestones along the route of modern individualism—from Montaigne to Hobbes, from Locke to Smith, from Rousseau to Tocqueville—The Individual without Passions puts forward new hypotheses that contrast with the consolidated views of contemporary reflection, both modern and postmodern.

Elena Pulcini argues that passions are crucial not only when they are strong (homo oeconomicus), but also when absent or weak (homo democraticus), in both cases producing pathological effects on the Self and the social bond. Finally, this book underlines that the image of the modern individual does not end with the egoistical passions and that it is possible to reactivate empathetic and solidaristic passions; furthermore, it proposes the hypothesis that the solidaristic passions go to fight the egoistical passions. This hypothesis seems confirmed and is most evident in the phenomenon of the gift (as interpreted by Marcel Mauss and his contemporary heirs), the “hidden” testimony of a desire for belonging which enables us to propose a new figure of the individual—homo reciprocus.
The Political Education of Democratus
Authors: Dotts Brian W.
Published: February 2025

Thomas Paine described the American Revolution as educative. However, as examined in Brian W. Dotts’ The Political Education of Democratus: Negotiating Civic Virtue during the Early Republic, what was learned was neither standardized nor uniform. The Federalists, for example, viewed the revolution as a triumph for representative government, but one intended to maintain many remnants of the colonial experience. Anti-Federalists saw a confirmation of representative government at the state and local levels and considered the revolution as authenticating Montesquieu’s theories of republicanism. A third, more extreme interpretation of the revolution emerged from radical democrats who viewed the revolution as a fundamental break with mainstream thinking about republicanism. These radicals helped turn conventional understanding of representative government upside down, taking part in unconventional or extra-constitutional action during their negotiation of citizen virtue during the 1790s. Members of each of the societies took an active part in trying to fulfill their expectations for the new American experiment by contributing to the democratization of republicanism.

The Political Education of Democratus illuminates the emergence of democratic thought from Aristotle and Machiavelli to more contemporary influences from the British Commonwealth tradition. Dotts examines how the radical ideas of Algernon Sidney, James Harrington, John Milton, Joseph Priestley, and Thomas Paine develop a rich tapestry among the democratic society’s correspondence, constitutions, resolutions, and early media. Individual members of the Democratic-Republican Societies, including Philip Freneau, Robert Coram, Benjamin Bache, George Logan, and others energized these radical interpretations of civic republican thought and plunged headlong into party politics, educating early Americans about the practical potentialities of democratic action.
The Commerce of Peoples
Authors: Basu Biman
Published: February 2025

Representations and coverage of S&M have become quite common nowadays, whether we see them in the fashion industry, commercials, the news, on television, film, the internet, and so on. But in the population at large and in the academic community, too, it is still persistently stigmatized. This marginalization, along with its ambivalently persecuted status, is a result, significantly, of a nineteenth century legacy. This legacy begins with Kraftt-Ebing’s designation of sadomasochism, along with gay and lesbian desire, as a perversion, and continues in the popular and expert (mis)understandings which prevail.

More generally, most people today will recognize that all human relations are power relations. Yet most people will also deny this and mask these power relations by invoking all sorts of things, like romantic love, sentimental attachment, companionate marriage, friendship, peace, non-violence, harmony, and the list goes on, ad nauseam. Not that these do not exist in a sadomasochistic relation, but sadomasochists are unflinching in their recognition that all of these are also permeated by power relations. It is not only impossible to purge these relations of power but for sadomasochists it is also undesirable to do so. It is not only more honest to acknowledge the power that saturates these relations but also more instructive in the sense that S&M provides a context in which one learns to exercise power and to submit to it in a responsible way.

Even in scholarly critical and theoretical discussions of S&M, the prevailing opinion is that the power exercised in sadomasochism is not “real.” It is of course not real in the sense that slavery and violence no longer has a legal status. But reality cannot of course be gauged or even approximated by its legal status alone. For most practitioners, it is hard to deny the reality of pain, of humiliation, of degradation, in the moment of its enactment. One can hardly deny the reality of bringing the whip down on someone’s back or of having it sear across one’s buttocks.
Taking the Fight to the Enemy
Authors: Fuller Adam L.
Published: February 2025

Neoconservatism is more of a disposition than a single political theory, but it is an attitude that has had a profound impact on the broader conservative effort in the United States since the Fifties. It is a unique blend of skepticism and fortitude about a host of wide-ranging issues, spanning culture, economics, and national defense. This book looks at six “neoconservative” intellectuals—Irving Kristol, Gertrude Himmelfarb, Norman Podhoretz, Midge Decter, Daniel Bell, and Nathan Glazer—and the intellectual influences on their thinking about the defects of communism, fascism, progressivism, the dominant American culture, and even capitalism itself. This book looks at the gestation of political criticism within the pages of the neoconservatives’ own writings, as well as the books they read and the thinkers they either learned from or came to fear. The book looks at the ways in which the neoconservatives adapted Lenin’s formula for success to conservative efforts in the United States, arguing that neoconservatism is an “anti-ideology ideology,” in that it considers a “New Class” of professional, ideologically motivated reformers to be the greatest problem facing the United States because of their increased efforts to technocratize ordinary life, their moral relativism, their efforts to usurp human nature and supplant it with their own utopian visions, their anti-Americanism, and their unwillingness to face imminent dangers threatening the American way of life. The book argues that the neoconservative political strategy is to “take the fight to the enemy.”
Idealism, Pragmatism, and Feminism
Authors: Kaag John
Published: February 2025

Idealism, Pragmatism, and Feminism provides an account of the life and writings of Ella Lyman Cabot (1866-1934), a woman who received formal training, but not formal recognition, in the field of classical American philosophy. It highlights the themes of idealism, pragmatism and feminism as they emerged in the course of career as an educational reformer and ethicist that spanned nearly four decades. Cabot's writings, developed in graduate seminars at Harvard and Radcliffe at the turn of the century complement, and in many cases anticipate, the thinking of the "fathers" of the American philosophical cannon: Charles Sanders Peirce, Josiah Royce, William James, and John Dewey. Her formal philosophical writing focuses on the concepts of growth, creativity, and the moral imagination—a fact that is especially interesting given that these concepts are developed by a woman who faced serious obstacles in her personal and intellectual development. Indeed, these concepts are not merely philosophical ideals, but practical tools that Ella Lyman Cabot used to negotiate the gender roles and intellectual marginalization that she faces at the turn of the century. The discipline of philosophy was very slow to incorporate the insights of women into its self-definition. An analysis of the writings of Ella Lyman Cabot reveals this point, but also the pointed ways in which she sought to express her genuinely creative insights.
