Communicate Even If There Is Nothing to Tell
Authors: Galpin Timothy
Published: August 2023

As early as three decades ago, management research and writing identified communications as a key component of effective organizational transformation. Throughout strategic transformation efforts, management need to provide effective communications so that rumors are not the main source of information. Unfortunately, however, ineffective strategic communications seem to be the rule rather than the norm. Thus, this chapter presents the best practices, potential pitfalls, tools, and templates for planning and delivering effective organizational change communications, including the top ten reported reasons strategic communications are often ineffective, a four-phase strategic communications process, and a communications planning matrix for management to build a comprehensive strategic transformation communications plan.
Your Best Players Will Find a New Team First—Retain and Re-Engage Them
Authors: Galpin Timothy
Published: August 2023

Today’s careers are more a collection of assignments than an accumulation of years at one firm. Work, especially at managerial levels, has become more of an activity than a place. Twenty- to thirty-year careers at patriarchal corporations are becoming extinct. Consequently, there has been an erosion of employees’ loyalty toward their employers. One effect of this development is the increased difficulty of retaining the organization’s “key talent.” Moreover, even when key personnel stay on board, they lose their commitment, especially when the work environment becomes unstable, uncertain, or shifts dramatically, as is often the case during strategy execution. Hence, this chapter presents the best practices, key pitfalls, and tools for key talent retention and re-engagement during strategic transformation, including a retention and re-engagement planning matrix.
Your Strategy Needs a Nudge—Aligning Organizational Culture with Strategy
Authors: Galpin Timothy
Published: August 2023

Achieving and sustaining the goals of organizational change is difficult at best and for many organizations seemingly impossible. Most transformation initiatives fall short of reaching their goals where “the rubber hits the road,” during implementation. Effective strategy execution requires that changes in operations, systems, processes, and procedures are all clearly connected to an organization’s culture. Making this connection not only enables effective implementation but also embeds strategic change in the day-to-day life of the organization, reinforcing and sustaining desired outcomes such as lower costs, increased revenue, greater market share, improved service, or quicker processes. Although many managers recognize that connecting culture with strategy is important for getting desired strategic changes to “stick,” most do not know how to go about it. Therefore, this chapter presents a pragmatic approach to aligning organizational culture with strategy, including a cultural alignment model identifying twelve “cultural levers” to align organizational culture with strategy.
Pneumatic Circumcision
Authors: Soon Isaac T.
Published: August 2023

This chapter argues that Paul thinks Jews will retain their circumcision in the resurrection on their future pneumatic bodies. Paul understands future resurrection to inform the transformation of the material of human bodies to become pneuma, but that the form of the bodies will stay the same. In ancient Judaism from Jubilees through the later rabbis, there is the idea that circumcision was a part of perfected bodies, whether on angels or the great patriarchs of the past. In wider Jewish traditions about resurrection, the general pattern is that there is continuity of body between the bodies of the dead and the bodies of the risen; there must be continuity for it to be the same person who is raised. Paul argues in 1 Corinthians 15 that the bodies must shed perishability and mortality but must become imperishable and immortal. This does not mean that the contours of the body necessarily change but that they are no longer subject to decay and death. From a Graeco-Roman perspective, then, as Jews in the future retain their circumcision they will remain permanently disabled.
Epilogue
Authors: Soon Isaac T.
Published: August 2023

This chapter draws out the implications of the book as a whole, especially the work’s contribution towards understanding disabilities previously unrecognized in the ancient world. It highlights how the ancient analysis of previously unrecognized disabilities can help interrogate ableist and dehumanizing cultures in our world today, and focuses especially intactivism (the idea that circumcision is a form of infant genital mutilation) and the religious treatment of those who are perceived to be ‘demonized,’ in other words, those who are thought to be possessed or inhabited by demonic forces. By analysing disabilities based on relative bodily ideals we are able to interrogate conditions that today would not be considered disabilities by medicalized taxonomies.
Curious Kin in Fictions of Posthuman Care
Authors: DeFalco Amelia
Published: August 2023

Curious Kin reimagines care theory to account for the complexity of posthuman interdependencies. It does so by collecting twenty-first-century texts that imagine unconventional caregiving that challenges the anthropocentric assumptions of humanist care models and offer provocative alternatives that convey the messy complexity of posthuman care. The book analyzes these contemporary literary and cinematic speculations of more-than-human companionship in relation to numerous critical discourses—posthumanism, care philosophy, feminist materialism, affect theory, critical race theory, Indigenous studies—in order to propose a dynamic model of posthuman care that addresses humans and nonumans as mutually constituting, vulnerable, embodied, and embedded companion species.
Introduction
Authors: DeFalco Amelia
Published: August 2023

Curious Kin in Fictions of Posthuman Care develops posthuman care as a vital concept attendant to the range of affects, energies, behaviors, attachments, dependencies—both visible and invisible—that produce and sustain life in more-than-human worlds. The book draws together cultural productions, primarily narrative fictions, that challenge humanist conceptions of care in their imaginative depiction of more-than-human affective bonds. The book’s introduction defines and interrogates Curious Kin’s title terms—“curious,” “kin,” “posthuman,” and “care”—and explains its methodology, which analyzes fictional representations of unconventional more-than-human relations as dynamic models of posthuman care.
Natural Law and Modern Society
Authors: Coyle Sean
Published: August 2023

This book offers a new natural law theory for modern times. Grounded in the thought of St Thomas Aquinas, it ranges from discussion of ethics and the modern-day relevance of scholastic method to treatments of law, justice, the common good, human and natural rights, obligation, and political authority. It connects these questions to an appreciation of divine law and action. The reader is introduced to the distinction between the ‘core morality’ of a community (the part of the common good that is timeless and universal) and the part of the common good that is particular and of the moment. Law is preeminent amongst social institutions that articulate the core morality, whether that of domestic politics or of international community. The reader is taken through the subjects whilst addressing other prominent theories of natural law: from Finnis and MacIntyre to Murphy and Crowe.
Obligation and Commitment
Authors: Coyle Sean
Published: August 2023

Chapter IX begins a discussion of obligation by introducing a new concept, commitment, which it goes on to define; the general features of commitment are discussed before turning to the psychology of commitment, and of obligation as commitment in the narrow sense; there follows discussion of moral obligation, political obligation, and legal obligation.
Law and Legality
Authors: Coyle Sean
Published: August 2023

Chapter X begins by establishing its scope—law in the focal sense, that is, just law. It begins with a discussion of Hart’s theory of law, and proceeds to a discussion of theories such as that of John Finnis, which seek to understand the importance of law in relation to the concept of coordination. A modified idea of the rule of law is then presented; from there a wider discussion of law and morality is undertaken, critical of legal positivism; followed by a discussion of legal reason; and finally to Köpcke’s account of validity as well as Finnis’s and Murphy’s.
North Korea and the Global Nuclear Order
Authors: Howell Edward
Published: August 2023

For a state that has gained a global reputation as a violator of international norms, not least through its unwavering pursuit of nuclear weapons, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s determination to become a nuclear-armed state is puzzling. If nuclear weapons can beget security but also insecurity—as well as other costs—for the state, how might we understand this pursuit, and the delinquent behaviour that has arisen from it? This book will offer an answer to these questions, focusing on North Korea’s quest for status in international relations and developing the theoretical framework of ‘strategic delinquency’. Drawing upon unprecedentedly rich empirical evidence, this book makes the overarching argument that North Korea has strategically deployed behaviour that breaks international norms, and induced low status, in order reap benefits. In so doing, this book posits that North Korea has, over time, learnt that despite the low status and opprobrium that might ensue from delinquent behaviour, bad behaviour can pay.
The world through Pyongyang’s eyes
Authors: Howell Edward
Published: August 2023

How does North Korea order its external international environment? How has its world view evolved with time? Chapter 1 examines just what constitutes North Korea’s perspective on international relations and the factors influencing the formation of this world view. From the regime-state’s inception in 1948 under the leadership of Kim Il Sung, North Korea’s conceptualization of its state identity and outlook on international relations were influenced by two principal factors: first, the legacies of Japanese imperial rule over the then unified Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945; second, the formation of an oppositional identity to the United States as exemplified by the ideological prism of the US ‘hostile policy’. These two factors were formative in consolidating Kim Il Sung’s power, in the development of the state ideology of juche, and in influencing North Korea’s foreign relations. This chapter explores how, after the unfinished conclusion of the Korean War in 1953, North Korea’s relationships with China and the Soviet Union became more precarious with time. With Kim Il Sung’s ‘Third World Diplomacy’ failing to bear fruit, North Korea’s world view of the US ‘hostile policy’ would only intensify as the end of the Cold War drew nigh.
Epilogue
Authors: Howell Edward
Published: August 2023

The epilogue brings the findings of this book right up to the present day, most notably with respect to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in late 2019 and early 2020. It argues how North Korea’s more recent behaviour with respect to the global nuclear order remains heavily intertwined with questions of domestic politics, particularly given the self-inflicted measures taken in the wake of the pandemic. As Kim Jong Un enters his second decade as the Supreme Leader of North Korea, questions remain as to how the DPRK will reconcile its ongoing nuclear ambitions with a stagnating domestic economy and the rise to power of a new, conservative South Korean administration and the Biden administration in the United States. Will North Korea revive relations with China and Russia in an attempt to ease multilateral sanctions? Alternatively, will the DPRK be prepared to offer concessions on its existing nuclear programme as its domestic economic situation worsens?
Introduction
Authors: Colonomos Ariel
Published: August 2023

This book argues that balancing lives with interests is constitutive of the political defined as a body politic. The pricing of lives—defined as the material equivalent to human life—is not only a highly controversial question that we can trace back to the origins of history and notably religion. It is more than that: we constantly measure the value of human lives when, in order to save people, we pay or make concessions vis-á-vis our interests, we also express goals such as victory, national interest, or money in terms of a cost in human lives. Pricing lives reveals an art of measurement that is inherent to the political and which has two facets: we pay with lives and we pay for lives. The scheme of paying for lives (philanthropy) and paying with lives (patriarchy) can occur at the level of state, market, community, or between these levels. Moreover, the equilibrium we reach depends upon the tension between two historical dynamics, humanism and materialism. To that extent, pricing lives reveals our preferences. The introduction describes the methodology of the book and its interdisciplinary approach, which is both explanatory and normative. The goal of this book is to contribute, from a political theory perspective that includes the social sciences, to a reflection on the material equivalence to lives set in the context of liberal democracies.
Henry V
Authors: Colonomos Ariel
Published: August 2023

This chapter focuses on a discussion of Shakespeare’s play Henry V. His main character, the young king, gambles for his life and with the lives of others, within his family, the family he wants to create, and when he is waging war. This chapter shows that the laws of war, which, during the medieval period, relied upon chivalry honour codes are, in this play, the reflection of Shakespeare’s original ‘political arithmetic’. These calculations introduce us to many of the dilemmas that pertain to the domain of war in contemporary world politics, they also lie at the foundation of the laws of war and international humanitarian law. Henry V announces a world where the state will take over as the main driving force in weighing the value of lives.
The challenge of measuring the measures
Authors: Colonomos Ariel
Published: August 2023

This chapter discusses proportionality from a political theory perspective while showing the importance of the balancing between interests and lives. Such balancing constitutes a true challenge for the state. Both in the just war tradition (jus ad bellum and, mostly, jus in bello) and in international humanitarian law (IHL), proportionality stands as one of the main laws of warfare. In the context of jus in bello, Proportionality is a measure of the relative weight of military advantage as compared to the suffering caused to civilians; it is, therefore, a measure of two measurements. In order for a military decision to be proportionate, the latter ought not to outweigh the former. This norm is fully in line with the idea of the Hobbesian state, which, always, seeks to measure the weight of lives and compare it to its own interest. Indeed, Hobbes’s frontispieces to the Leviathan as well to his Elements of Law are a striking picture of the central role that the measurement of lives plays in politics: a dynamic to which the second part of the book refers as ‘Hobbes’s hidden pendulum’. When the state assesses proportionality, the state is in danger of losing its balance and is, therefore, threatened. This chapter discusses the difficulties and the pitfalls of the use of proportionality and raises the issue of the non-commensurability of goods that lies at the core of the proportionality calculus. The norm of proportionality pushes the state to confront its own limitations.
Oasis Societies
Authors: Rich Kelly M.
Published: August 2023

Chapter 5 interprets Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient (1992) as an experiment in transnational welfare without the state. It argues that the real romance of The English Patient is not its desert love affair, but rather the newfound intimacies of the Italian villa, inflected through practices of care. These romances engage and critique the rise of the heritage industry and the discourse of imperial nostalgia, both of which sought to make older, prewar Britishness loveable again. Yet Ondaatje’s novel still gives an exceptionally earnest treatment of wartime sociality, giving into the enchantment of welfarist domestic space. While critics tend to characterize this quality as “bad form,” this chapter reads it as a testament to the enduring legacy of Britain’s reconstructive imagination. The chapter then concludes with a consideration of Ondaatje’s most recent novel, Warlight (2018), a conservative reworking of The English Patient that forecloses the social and political potential of reconstruction, and eschews the value of an international community.
Indigenous Peoples and Mining
Authors: O'Faircheallaigh Ciaran
Published: August 2023

Indigenous peoples have occupied their territories for thousands of years, territories increasingly being mined by an industry applying the most modern extractive, marketing, and transport technologies on a scale that can be difficult to comprehend. Mining reshapes landscapes, literally moving mountains and diverting rivers, landscapes that their Indigenous owners often believe were originally shaped by ancestor beings that still reside at sites where they completed their work. This book seeks to understand the political, social, economic, and cultural dynamic that is created by the relentless expansion of mining into Indigenous territories. Contributing to such an understanding involves a task of global significance. Indigenous peoples embody a large part of the world’s linguistic and cultural diversity. Their lands cover an estimated 25 per cent of the world’s land surface, intersect with about 40 per cent of all ecologically intact landscapes, and contain a large proportion of the world’s mineral resources. Must interaction between Indigenous peoples and mining involve the destruction of Indigenous peoples, territories, and cultures? Can the remarkable resilience that has allowed Indigenous peoples to survive for millennia enable them not only to survive, but to capitalize on the development opportunities offered by mining? What role are governments, international organizations, and civil society playing in shaping relations between mining and Indigenous peoples? The book addresses these questions, drawing on the author’s 30-year history of working with Indigenous communities as they deal with mining projects, and on the experiences of Indigenous peoples in some 15 countries from different regions of the globe.
Chile
Authors: O'Faircheallaigh Ciaran
Published: August 2023

This chapter traces key points in the evolution of relations between Indigenous peoples, the state, and the mining industry in Chile. These include the growing legal recognition of Indigenous rights, but also continued limitations of these because of a sustained pursuit by the state of neo-liberal economic reform. Two case studies follow which allow detailed analysis of different facets of relations between the state, the mining industry, and Indigenous peoples in contemporary Chile. The first focuses on Pascua Lama, and considers why and how Diaguita peoples and their allies were able to stop a major multinational company from developing what would have become one of the world’s largest gold mines. The second traces engagement of Atacameño peoples with the copper and lithium industries in northern Chile, including through a detailed analysis of an agreement negotiated in 2016 between Rockwood, a wholly owned subsidiary of Albemarle Corporation, one of the world’s largest lithium producer, and 18 Atacameño communities. In combination, the case studies also allow further examination of Indigenous strategies of engagement and resistance.
Botswana and South Africa
Authors: O'Faircheallaigh Ciaran
Published: August 2023

This chapter seeks to highlight what is distinctive about the situation of Indigenous peoples in Africa, in particular the frequent refusal of states to acknowledge that Indigenous peoples even exist within their boundaries, and problems created by fragility in the rule of law for enforcement of Indigenous rights where these are recognized. The chapter also explores why, though faced with some common problems, individual Indigenous peoples can experience different outcomes. The range of outcomes evident in Africa is illustrated through case studies of government policy and histories of development for San people whose homeland is the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana, and for the Xholobeni community in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The chapter concludes by considering the wider lessons that these different histories reveal about the factors shaping Indigenous experiences with extractive industries.
A Neopragmatist Approach to Modality
Authors: Thomasson Amie L.
Published: August 2023

Modality has long presented formidable philosophical problems, such as whether there are modal properties, facts, or possible worlds, and how we could know them. This chapter argues that we can make a better approach to these problems if we start a step back, beginning not with metaphysical and epistemological questions, but rather with questions about what functions modal discourse serves, and what rules it follows. Building on work from systemic functional linguistics, the chapter aims to analyse the range of functions different forms of modal discourse serve, in a way that enables us to address questions about the functions and rules of modal discourse in a systematic and fine-grained way. It also argues that this work on the functions and rules governing modal discourse is relevant to traditional philosophical problems about modality, since many of the traditional problems arise out of misunderstandings about the discourse.
A Pragmatic Genealogy of Rule-Following
Authors: Pettit Philip
Published: August 2023

How do creatures like us intentionally track certain properties when we use words to predicate them, yet have no means of defining those terms? This is the rule-following problem posed by Wittgenstein and Kripke. The answer defended is that we do so as a byproduct of practices that are well-documented as common across our species: sensitization, joint action, and teaching and learning. We can be sensitized to instances of a property or class, as even a simple animal can be sensitized under conditioning. Being committed to acting jointly with one another, we can become aware of such a class as an abstract entity. And being creatures who teach and learn from one another, within and across generations, we can recognize that if we diverge in assignments to a class, predications of a property, then at least one of us is not operating properly.
Defending Phaedra’s Glory
Authors: Puche Océane
Published: August 2023

This chapter shows how Marie-Jeanne L’Héritier, the first woman to produce a complete translation of Ovid’s Heroides (1732), defends women’s glory. The example of the fourth letter, ‘Phaedra to Hippolytus’, is particularly pertinent because here L’Héritier constructs a new ethos for Phaedra, guilty, in Ovid’s version, of incestuous love. L’Héritier uses several tools to build that new ethos: she responds to and corrects the other translators of that letter in her prefatory text, she resists the interpretation of Racine’s famous tragedy, Phèdre (1678), and modifies Ovid’s text. To promote women’s glory, L’Héritier rejects the tradition that has been built by male authors and sheds new light on Phaedra, in a representation that downplays her guilt. Beyond the question of guilt, L’Héritier invites the readers to pay attention to Phaedra’s and even her own ars scribendi as the only desirable way for women to achieve glory.
Corinne at the Capitol
Authors: Cox Fiona
Published: August 2023

Germaine de Staël’s Corinne ou l’Italie (1807) is one of the most influential and important responses to Rome and her legacy ever penned by a woman. It is surprising, therefore, that so little scholarship exists that analyses the extensive intertextual presences of Latin texts within the novel. This chapter will explore the network of allusions to the Fasti and to the Heroides, as Corinne both celebrates the numinous vestiges of Rome’s past before fashioning herself as one of Ovid’s abandoned women, as she laments Oswald’s departure and betrayal. The chapter will show how the accomplished Corinne, rejoicing in her enjoyment of literature and able to converse about art and architecture, belongs very much within the French tradition of female salonnières. But the intertextual echoes that shape the figure of Corinne belong not only to the past, in the form of the Aeneid or the Heroides, but also to the future, since Corinne is the literary ancestor of the love interest—Cécile—in Michel Butor’s 1957 novel La Modification, one of the most extended meditations on the power of Rome in any language, and also a powerful examination of the enduring network of links and relationships binding Paris and Rome.

Authors: Allen Frances , Gasparro Julia , Swaney Jo , Phelan Margaret , Gillespie James
Published: August 2023

This chapter covers the content of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022. The provision of the Act mainly focuses on nationality, asylum, and immigration in an effort to address victims of slavery or human trafficking. An asylum claim must be made in person at a designated place recognised by the Secretary of State in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 also aims to provide the power to charge participants where their behaviour has wasted the Tribunal’s resources. The chapter then considers the inadmissibility of asylum claims by EU nationals and people with connections to safe third States.
An Introduction to the History of Hylomorphism
Authors: Charles David
Published: August 2023

The Introduction traces the ways in which Aristotle’s version of hylomorphism was interpreted and reinterpreted by critics and defenders alike in the nearly two millennia that separate its original formulation and its critical reception by Descartes. This process was lengthy and complex as subsequent writers, from the Stoics to Aquinas and Suárez considered problems within hylomorphism itself and raised, or attempted to respond to, objections to its central claims. In doing so, they were led to formulate the two component account of substances with which we are now familiar and paved the way for Descartes and later philosophers to set up the mind-body problem in the form that still perplexes us. The Introduction sets out and critically assesses their motivations for doing so.
Galen on the Form and Substance of the Soul
Authors: Marechal Patricia
Published: August 2023

In On My Own Opinions, Galen claims to agree with Aristotle that the soul is the form of the body. Elsewhere, he says that the substance of the soul is a bodily mixture, and that the soul is the form of body in the sense that it is the principle of mixing of the elements. As is well known, Aristotle explicitly rejects this sort of materialist account of the soul. In De Anima, he tells us that the soul cannot be a harmonia of bodily elements, understood either as the proportion according to which the elements are mixed or as the mixtures themselves. In this chapter, I argue that Galen rejects a substantive version of hylomorphism, in favour of a view according to which the soul’s substance is nothing other than a bodily mixture. Galen’s position contains a veiled objection to Aristotelian form as a genuine metaphysical and explanatory category
Alexander of Aphrodisias’ Emergentism
Authors: Caston Victor
Published: August 2023

Alexander of Aphrodisias offers a systematic metaphysics of form and matter in his De Anima. He argues for materialism wherever change is involved, as only bodies can act or be acted upon, but they do so in virtue of their forms. The underlying matter may itself be a body, also composed of matter and form; and this may be iterated until ultimately ‘prime matter’ is reached. At each level, the form is responsible not only for what something is, but its causal powers to behave in the ways characteristic of that type of thing. The forms within the underlying matter both make the matter suitable for performing the composite’s functions, but also determine which form supervenes on it—on Alexander’s view, forms co-vary with the types of underlying matter, without sacrificing their causal priority and efficacy. He is thus committed to emergentism, a type of non-reductive materialism.
Alexander of Aphrodisias on the Ancient Debate on Hylomorphism and the Development of Intellect
Authors: de Haas Frans A.J.
Published: August 2023

Alexander of Aphrodisias and his school have preserved traces of the debate on the relation between form and matter that took place in the centuries leading up to 200 ce: especially Mantissa 5, and Quaestiones I.8, I.17, and I.26 discuss the questions to which Alexander’s general account of hylomorphism in De Anima 1–26 seems to be his most considered answer. Alexander discussed various interpretations of Aristotle’s hylomorphism of Platonic, Stoic, and Aristotelian origin. His main concern is to provide a comprehensive version of hylomorphism, and to refute the suggestion that Aristotle’s texts are in any way incoherent.
Plotinus on Hylomorphic Forms
Authors: Chiaradonna Riccardo
Published: August 2023

This chapter focuses on Plotinus’ engagement with Aristotle’s hylomorphism against the wider background of Plotinus’ account of living beings. Plotinus’ general point throughout his writings is that, whatever one might think of the soul as an enmattered form, its status is not sufficiently distinct from that of the body and of its attributes. So Aristotle cannot ground his own distinction between body and soul, since the soul is an attribute among others and all attempts to make sense of its status and of its causal role are doomed to fail. This chapter outlines Plotinus’ critical approach to Aristotle’s hylomorphism from the early treatise 4.7 through the treatises on the soul (4.3 and 4.4) down to the treatises 6.7 and 6.3, where Plotinus develops his own sophisticated theory of incorporeal forms. Particular attention is paid to the status of living bodies within Plotinus’ account of causation.
Philoponus and Alexander in Historical Context on Relations between Matter and Form Inside and Outside Philosophy of Mind
Authors: Sorabji Richard
Published: August 2023

John Philoponus, the Christian commentator on Aristotle in Alexandria of the 6th century ce, elucidated several relations between matter and form, most of them, but not all, from the context of philosophy of mind. This essay places his discussion in the context of earlier accounts of the relations between bodily elements and the soul, including those offered by Galen, Proclus, and Alexander of Aphrodisias and assesses his distinctive contribution. Special attention is given to developing an interpretation of the key terms that Philoponus used in formulating his account: ‘supervening’, ‘following from’, and ‘resulting from’.
Hoc Aliquid
Authors: Shields Christopher
Published: August 2023

Aquinas inherits a problem implicit in all hylomorphic accounts of living beings, namely the problem of how the soul can be both a form and something particular. This question takes on a particular urgency for Aquinas, because he accepts as a Catholic dogma a thesis redolent of Platonic dualism, that the soul can subsist without the body whose soul it is. If forms are universals, however, then souls are both particulars and universals—an initially unhappy sounding result. Much to his credit, Aquinas addresses this problem head on. In fact, the very first question of his Quaestiones de Anima poses it directly. He wants to know, first and foremost, whether the soul can be both a form and this something (utrum anima humana possit esse forma et hoc aliquid; QdA 1). His response: yes, it can. The soul is both a form and this something.
Suárez’ Compositional Account of Substance
Authors: Perler Dominik
Published: August 2023

According to Francisco Suárez, a substance is literally composed of many entities and therefore displays a complex internal structure. The chapter examines this compositional account of substance, arguing that Suárez radically transformed hylomorphism. It first looks at the ‘thin substance’, which consists of form and matter as the most basic entities. It pays particular attention to Suárez’ thesis that these two entities are really distinct from each other and therefore in need of a special relation that connects them. The chapter then analyses the ‘thick substance’, which has additional powers and properties. All of them are distinct entities that somehow enrich the form-matter compound. In providing this compositional account, Suárez presents metaphysics as a way of doing reverse engineering: we do not know what a substance is unless we decompose it in our thoughts and reconstruct it.
The Regulation of E-commerce Post-Brexit
Authors: Harcourt Alison
Published: August 2023

This chapter investigates the UK as the EU’s largest trading partner for e-commerce and, until recently, the most popular country for European shoppers online. It traces the history of EU e-commerce legislation which contains a strong soft governance component under influence from UK models. The chapter shows that the UK is viewed by the EU very much as a competitor on its doorstep. The EU accelerated its legislative train, embracing greater use of statutory instruments post-Brexit. As a third country, UK-based companies offering cross-border digital goods and services have been met with a whole host of new rules and customers are faced with difficulties with online dispute resolution mechanisms constituting more complex arrangements for cross-border e-commerce.
The Spread and Diversification of Curse Practice
Authors: Lamont Jessica L.
Published: August 2023

Expanding in scope beyond Sicily, this chapter traces the dissemination of curse practice across three regions over the course of the fourth century bce: the Italian mainland, the northern coast of the Black Sea, and the Kingdom of Macedon. These case studies allow us to observe common themes and fine-grained local differences, while documenting the breadth of the ritual’s appeal within 250 years of its emergence in Sicily. Though some regionalisms are evident, parallel language and ritual from geographically disparate areas point to a shared curse tradition by the fourth century bce; this ritual koine stretched from the western to the eastern Mediterranean and north to the Black Sea and Cimmerian Bosporus. These inscribed objects allow one to consider the mechanisms by which ritual practices and technological skill sets migrated over space and time, and to examine the social conditions that allowed for their transmission, appropriation, and adaptation from 500 to 250 bce.
