Introduction
Authors: Mendelman Lisa 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The Introduction describes the vital rebirth in sentiment’s lived and literary form that occurs in interwar America. The result is an aesthetic of “modern sentimentalism.” The chapter defines this aesthetic of mixed feelings as it captures the conflicted affective dynamics of icons of modern femininity and the stylistic practices of interwar female novelists. The chapter discusses the assumptions that have led scholars to overlook this aesthetic’s purchase in modernist literature and culture, and indicates its consequences for understandings of modernity, sentiment, and interwar gender and affect. The chapter lays out the study’s methodology, which synthesizes traditional and quantitative research methods, features a transatlantic archive of period discourse and critical theory, and establishes a novel approach to evaluating literary affect. The chapter concludes that the crisis in female character can be best understood as a matter of practical experience and lived reality, not a problem of abstract representation.
Willa Cather and the New Woman’s “Un-Sentimental Sort of Success”
Authors: Mendelman Lisa 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Chapter 1 discusses a paradigmatic New Woman narrative, Willa Cather’s 1915 The Song of the Lark, in which Cather ostensibly reclaims sentiment for the New Woman, only to place her female opera singer in sentimental relation to art, not domesticity. The chapter analyzes the Künstlerroman’s unorthodox marriage plot as it stages the conflicts of New Woman sexuality. The chapter further explores Cather’s use of a New Woman artist to reconfigure the role of emotion in the aesthetic encounter, and links this representational paradigm to both the nascent neurophysiological concept of empathy and the modernist ideal articulated by T. S. Eliot’s dissociation of sensibility. Reiterating stereotypes of traditional sentimental reading as uncritical, overemotional, and unsophisticated, Lark develops and endorses a self-conscious and discerning alternative.
Elegant Interpretations
Authors: Williams J. Robert G. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter is the third of three that sets out a metaphysics of linguistic representation, and the focus here is on the way that correct linguistic interpretation is selected. The correct interpretation is the best theory of the linguistic conventions, and the best theory optimizes simplicity (elegance) and fit with the data. It is argued that elegance should be understood relative to the language-users’ pooled conceptual repertoire, and the combined theory of representation in language and thought is wielded to resolve indeterminacy puzzles. The appeal to simplicity/elegance in this context is compared to appeals to simplicity/elegance in the context of the metaphysics of mental content, where a rather different approach was examined. The compatibility of the two approaches is assessed.
Introduction to the Book
Authors: Buzan Barry , Goh Evelyn 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter consists of three sections. The first section introduces the book’s overarching aims and scope, and it outlines the key concepts used in the analysis, explaining why the focus is on China and Japan. It explains how the three Parts of the book relate to each other and how the book amounts to more than the sum of its parts. The second section provides brief summaries of the chapters in the rest of the book, and the third section gives the authors’ justification for two outsiders to engage in what is a highly political and personal relationship in this way.
Evaluating Northeast Asian History Collectively
Authors: Buzan Barry , Goh Evelyn 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Chapter 3 conducts a detailed historical survey of who did what to whom in Northeast Asia since 1840. The focus is on China, Japan, and the West, and the discussion is organized around the explicit set of normative criteria set up in chapter 2. These are applied systematically to both the local and the global stories. The normative framework aims to be broadly acceptable to the peoples in NEA and consists of five criteria: ridding NEA of Western imperialism/hegemony; increasing the absolute and relative wealth and power of NEA states and societies; restoring respect for NEA nations and their rightful place in global international society; promoting respectful relationships with their neighbours on the basis of sovereign and racial equality; and promoting the broadly Confucian ideal of an orderly, peaceful, and harmonious domestic society. The conclusion is that when NEA’s history is seen through these lenses, there are no obvious heroes or villains. Instead, there is a complex and densely connected joint story in which both countries (and also the West and Korea) have deeply mixed records, making positive contributions in some ways and negative ones in others. NEA’s shared story in its dual encounter is much more important than the stories of the individual countries and the local relationships.
No Bargains
Authors: Buzan Barry , Goh Evelyn 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Chapter 5 extends the application of the great power bargain framework to provide a new account of post-Cold War Sino-Japanese relations. It examines the steady breakdown of the partial Cold War constitutive and regulative bargains between Japan and China in the post-Cold War period. In capturing the state of their shared understandings, expectations, and agreed norms of conduct, it shows that these two East Asian great powers have not directly negotiated mutual strategic agreements in their recent history, and probes for the systemic, domestic, and ideational reasons for this state of affairs. The analysis demonstrates the extent to which they fall short of even a minimalist bargain and how this failure deeply impacts regional order. This analysis also suggests that Japan and China are stymied by a deeper socio-normative and socio-political estrangement.
Re-visiting the Historical Context of Sino-Japanese Strategic Relations, 1400–1900
Authors: Buzan Barry , Goh Evelyn 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Chapter 6 tackles the question of whether these two troubled neighbours have ever been able to reach strategic bargains to allow peaceful coexistence. It re-visits the longer history of bilateral relations since 1400, the point in the modern era when there was a recognizably ‘Japanese’ state alongside its Chinese imperial counterpart. Befitting the evolving contexts of state formation, regional international society, and patterns of socio-economic exchange, there are four episodes that include mutual agreements about official relations between the two polities and regularized interactions between state and private actors from each side, as well as formal diplomatic accords or treaties. These episodes demonstrate that China and Japan were able to negotiate strategic bargains in very different historical contexts in their relatively long shared history. They are: (1) the establishment of official tributary relations at the beginning of the fifteenth century between the Ming dynasty and the Ashikaga Shogunate; (2) Tokugawa Ieyasu’s attempts to re-open relations with late-Ming China at the beginning of the seventeenth century (c. 1598–1616); (3) the semi-official revival of trade relations and regulations between the Qing dynasty and Tokugawa Japan between 1655 and 1800; and (4) the creation of modern, formal treaty relations between China, Japan, and Korea in the second half of the nineteenth century. It concludes by probing for continuities and disjunctures across the historical record from 1400 to 1900, asking what ‘lessons’ might be kept in mind, and what the significant socio-normative transformations have been in this strategic relationship.
Opportunities for a Great Power Bargain between China and Japan
Authors: Buzan Barry , Goh Evelyn 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Chapter 7 reiterates the authors’ argument that present-day tensions in Northeast Asia stem from an interrupted, partial power transition between China and Japan. It justifies the perspective that there is a longer historical trajectory to this transition, and that there remain opportunities for a great power bargain between them. Using the historical ‘lessons’, the chapter develops four key scenarios for strategic relations between China and Japan in the decades ahead, with explicit attention to their associated socio-normative contexts and distributive and regulative bargains. The scenarios sketch a historically informed evaluation of the prospects for the region, the circumstances under which a new great power bargain between China and Japan might be possible or necessary, and how the history problem plays into these scenarios.
Introduction
Authors: Cheyne Peter 
Published: February 2020

AbstractAfter a preamble on Coleridge’s view of ‘Philosophy’ as ‘the doctrine and discipline of ideas’, the Introduction outlines the three main periods of Coleridge’s philosophical development. The author then pauses to explain his method in the book. After that, he provides initial definitions and descriptions of ‘reason’ and ‘the ideas’, the main terms of this book, in a discussion of these as Coleridge viewed them. That is followed by a section distinguishing ‘translucent’ from ‘transparent’ contemplation, with further reference to ‘opacity’ in perception. The Introduction then concludes with an outline of the remaining chapters of the book.
Contemplative Practice and the Ideas
Authors: Cheyne Peter 
Published: February 2020

AbstractChapter 2 turns to Coleridge’s increasing focus on ideas as diffused in and through different kinds of contemplative practice and everyday experience. Throughout his thinking about contemplative reason, or Platonic nóēsis, he retained a Plotinian sense of theoria in and through sense and imagination. Section 2.1 outlines what the author calls the con-templum, a mental space opened up by imagination for ideas, allowing them to receive aesthetic expression, bridging the gap to allow ideas to have a deeply felt meaning in human life. Section 2.2 introduces the argument that, like Plotinus, Coleridge elevated the role and status of imagination as an insightful and not just a merely imaging and often deceptive faculty, as Plato viewed it. Section 2.3 reconstructs Coleridge’s argument for that reason to be ‘higher than’ imagination and his related position that will is deeper than reason. Finally, Section 2.4 examines Coleridge’s claim that ideas of reason are confreres of the human soul.
Aesthetic Contemplation
Authors: Cheyne Peter 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe ‘aesthetic’ referred to throughout Chapter 3 is not especially the aesthetics of art, but that of everyday experience, the shared world, and of nature. Section 3.1, following up some Coleridgean notes that relate ‘Ideas’ to ‘thoughts & enjoyments’, performs a Socratic elenchus on unreflective cognitive attitudes in aesthetic states to distinguish value in the experience from prejudice. Section 3.2 then explores Coleridge’s concern with the activity of ideas in everyday aesthetics and the aim of enlightening ‘our feelings’ so they ‘actualize our reason’ ‘with their vital warmth’, relating this to Schiller’s concept of aesthetic education. Section 3.3 introduces the author’s theory of inchoate contemplation that commences in aesthetically informed feelings, in local or national culture, as an initial and perhaps universal, non-intellectualist form of the intuition of ideas. This theory then helps to illuminate a Coleridgean ‘philosophy of life’ where everyday symbols and aesthetic practices reach ‘far higher and far inward’.
Adapting Böhme’s Bipolar Model
Authors: Cheyne Peter 
Published: February 2020

AbstractChapter 5 argues for the crucial importance for Coleridge’s philosophy of Böhme, whose works he annotated more than any other writer. Section 5.1 discusses Coleridge’s views of various mystics and of the poles of mysticism: one side valued for its sensuous connection, yet found prone to mistake inner idiosyncrasies for noetic insight; the other side, the transcendence-directed contemplation of mystics such as the Christian neo-Platonic Victorines. Section 5.2 argues that the chiasmic crux of Böhme’s thinking inspired three Coleridgean mainstays: the interpenetration of opposites, the intercirculation of energies, and the chiasmus between higher and lower levels. Section 5.3 further argues that an important form of Coleridge’s pentadic logical schemata, which includes his pentad of the ‘Powers of Nature’ and his ‘Order of the Mental Powers’, derives from his fusing Böhme’s transmutational, chiasmic schema of ‘The Seven Forms of Spirits’ with the Christian neo-Platonic, linear, hierarchical ascent from sensus to contemplatio.
Conclusion
Authors: Cheyne Peter 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe Conclusion gives further remarks concerning Coleridge’s philosophy and the ‘sense’, ‘higher understanding’, and ‘reason’. Section 1 constellates Coleridge’s main philosophical influences and metaphysical positions. After a summary statement in Section 2 of Coleridge’s position regarding sense, feeling, and the empirical, Section 3 compares the higher understanding of elenctic discourse (Socrates, Plato, Coleridge) with what Paul Ricoeur calls the ‘School of Suspicion’ (Marx, Nietzsche, Freud), which has become the ‘hermeneutics of suspicion’. Both uncover negativities or aporia, but, the author argues, the former can inform the latter in virtue of its being guided by a greater positivity, a dimly intuited idea or value, in contrast to the ‘already known’ baser desires further uncovered by the more negative elenchus or hermeneutic. Section 4 discusses Coleridgean reason and contemplation as it actually occurs, as diffuse or reflected, through deep feelings stretching in a metaphysical direction.
The Formal and Informal Politics of British Rule In Post-Conquest Quebec, 1760-1837
Authors: Christie Nancy 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Analyzing the vast judicial records of Quebec, A Northern Bastille uses a microhistorical approach to rethink the impact of the British Conquest upon the social, economic and political life of the colony. By expanding the concept of the political beyond the official script of government leaders to include the public sphere of print as well as the voices of ordinary litigants in the criminal and civil courts, this book seeks to understand both the assimilationist ‘project’ of British rule as well as the multiple ways in which individuals and groups contested an increasingly autocratic approach to imperial governance in an age of revolution. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the way in which the equation between Britishness and liberty was deployed both by government officials and out-of-doors political commentators to subvert French Canadian claims to political rights, thereby providing a novel explanation for the emergence of French Canadian nationalism between 1763 and 1837.
Introduction
Authors: Christie Nancy 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter canvasses the recent historiography on Quebec and discusses new developments within the history of the British Empire and the new legal history. It presents the principal theoretical framework of the book which has sought to expand conventional notions of the terrain of the political, to include not only the official transcript of government officials, but to examine the realm of opposition political commentary in the newspapers, as well as the terrain of the small politics of everyday life as articulated by ordinary people in the criminal and civil courts. It also demonstrates the importance of analyzing competing concepts of Britishness and the ways in which these sustained policies of British rule which sought to assimilate the French Canadian majority in Quebec, a perspective which presents a new portrait of post-Conquest Quebec which highlights ethnic conflict and the important role played by British nationalism in the development of French Canadian collective identities between 1763 and the Rebellion of 1837.
“In this Increasing Commercial Emporium”
Authors: Christie Nancy 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
From the perspective of governing elites on both sides of the Atlantic, the expanding world of goods was seen as a civilizing and assimilative process, but using an analysis of litigation this chapter shows that while enticing French Canadians into the marketplace did integrate them into global networks of trade and credit, they nevertheless sought to don British dress and purchase British manufactured goods to articulate and enhance their own identities. Not only does this chapter shift the historical gaze from production to consumption, but it greatly expands the term merchants beyond those large overseas merchants who have been well studied, to incorporate the vital world of licit and illicit trade by shopkeepers, artisans, women, and peasants, to draw attention to the importance to the internal circulation of goods. My exploration of the regulatory apparatus of government as well as the everyday understanding of goods, credit, and debt shows, however, that the eighteenth century was not a pivot to modernity; rather, conceptions of the marketplace remained tied to an older moral economy outlook.
“Qu’il étoit maître chez lui” (He is the master of his house)
Authors: Christie Nancy 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Arguing against traditional liberal narratives of the linear development of unfree labor, this chapter explores the politics of the counterrevolution by examining the way in which the master and servant acts of 1802 enhanced patriarchal government and the authority of male household heads over their dependents in the wake of the American, French, and Haitian revolutions. It also shows how these new legal strategies to enforce subordination among marginal peoples took particular aim at French Canadians during a period of intense political ferment and rebellion in the colony. These amplified existing perceptions of French Canadians as seditious others. It explores the ramifications of these acts in terms of the practices of ordinary plebeian families, in which their broader meaning for reinstantiating hierarchy and subordination was challenged. The master and servant legislation aimed to circumscribe various freedoms, including the freedom to choose one’s sartorial presentation, an aspect of liberty that was consciously fostered as an element of political freedom.
Loving the Body, Loving the Soul
Authors: Borcherding Julia 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter examines Anne Conway’s ‘argument from love’ in her Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy. This argument, supported by a further argument, the ‘argument from pain’, undermines the dualist dichotomy between mind and matter by appealing to a vitalist similarity principle. The goal is two-fold: first, to contribute to a close systematic reconstruction and analysis of Conway’s arguments, which so far is largely lacking in the literature; second, to establish that these arguments are richer and more compelling than commentators have thought. The chapter shows that Conway’s case against the dualist poses a considerable challenge to the dualisms of Henry More and Descartes.
Our Body Is the Measure
Authors: Chamberlain Colin 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Malebranche holds that sensory experience represents the world from the body’s point of view. The chapter argues that Malebranche gives a systematic analysis of this bodily perspective in terms of the claim that the five external senses and bodily awareness represent nothing but relations to the body. The external senses represent relations between external objects and the perceiver’s body. Bodily awareness represents relations between parts of the perceiver’s body and her body as a whole, and the way she is related to her body. The senses thus represent the perceiver’s body as standing in two very different sets of relations. The external senses relate the body to a world of external objects, while bodily awareness relates this same body to the perceiver herself. The perceiver’s body, for Malebranche, is the center of the system of relations that make up her sensory world, bridging the gap between self and external objects.
Unperceived Existence and Hume’s Theory of Ideas
Authors: Cottrell Jonathan 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Hume seems committed to an inconsistent triad: (i) we believe certain things to exist unperceived; (ii) if we believe a certain thing to exist unperceived, then we have (at our disposal) an idea that represents it as existing unperceived; and (iii) we do not have (at our disposal) an idea that represents anything as existing unperceived. This chapter aims to acquit him of this seeming inconsistency by arguing that, contrary to what others have claimed, Hume does not explicitly argue for (iii); his theory of mental representation does not implicitly commit him to (iii); and, moreover, this theory allows him to explain our having ideas that represent things as existing unperceived, contrary to (iii). To this end, the chapter offers Hume an account of negation modeled on his accounts of abstract ideas and ideas of substances and modes.
Sine Qua Non Causation
Authors: Sangiacomo Andrea 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Kant’s New Elucidation (1755) is an important source for understanding how early modern debates managed to import and adapt the notion of sine qua non causation in the domain of natural philosophy. In order to clarify Kant’s position, the chapter focuses on two preliminary historical moments: the marginalization of sine qua non causation in Suárez’s account of efficient causation and the forceful revival of sine qua non causation in Malebranche’s occasionalism. In the New Elucidation Kant adopts an understanding of causation similar to that of Malebranche, while also clarifying the way in which God’s involvement in nature has to be understood. In so doing, Kant takes issue with some of the ambiguities of Malebranche’s own account that were hotly debated by his contemporaries.
Torts and Other Wrongs
Authors: Gardner John 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the law of torts, not in the United States, but in other major common law jurisdictions (England and Wales, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) in which tort cases are normally adjudicated by judges sitting without juries. It considers the so-called classical interpretation of the common law of torts by John Goldberg and Ben Zipursky, and how they tend to equivocate on an important point of law in a way that puts them at odds with some writers with whom they would do better to make common cause. It suggests that this equivocation is where the law of the United States parts company with the law in the rest of the common law world. The problem, an English lawyer might then teasingly say, is with American tort law rather than with the Goldberg and Zipursky rendition of it.
What is Tort Law For? The Place of Distributive Justice
Authors: Gardner John 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This chapter defends the claim that certain questions of distributive justice are central to the law of torts, and cannot but be faced by those who administer and develop it, precisely because the law of torts is a site of corrective justice. Those with pigeonholing instincts may be tempted to label this a ‘mixed’ or ‘pluralistic’ explanation of tort law. The chapter endorses Peter Cane’s thesis that corrective justice provides the structure of tort law within which distributive justice operates. It presents a version of this thesis which shows that the place of corrective justice in tort law enjoys some kind of explanatory priority.
