Japan: Leveraging National Regulatory Reform and the Economic Modeling of Trade Agreements
Authors: Kawasaki Kenichi , Sunami Atsushi , Ikeda Yoko , Huang Michael C. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
After the withdrawal of the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in 2017, Japan has taken the lead in advancing the TPP framework via the CPTPP to reform its highly regulated sectors such as agriculture and medical services. This chapter analyzes Japan’s participation in the TPP regime by (1) examining the expected impact of changes in rules and regulations that have come to be institutionalized as “entrenched regulations” or ganban in those sectors; and (2) simulating the macroeconomic impact of TPP membership on Japan and other TPP member countries, using a GTAP database and a CGE model to analyze global trade outcomes. The simulation scenarios show the framework of TPP12 and model the economic impact of and third party country spillover from the reduction of non-tariff measures (NTMs).
Japan: Interest Group Politics, Foreign Policy Linkages, and TPP
Authors: Davis Christina L. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
After years of reluctantly opening its markets in the face of pressure from abroad, Japan led the campaign to save the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). This chapter evaluates the agreement from the perspective of Japan to investigate why the government chose to join TPP negotiations after years of delays, and why it became one of the first members to ratify the agreement even as US support for the agreement wavered amidst a fraught presidential campaign. TPP represents by far the most ambitious free trade agreement undertaken by Japan. It has been subject to tremendous resistance from farm groups and other interests, and moderate advocacy from industry. Against this backdrop, the value of the agreement as part of a geopolitical strategy was essential to Japanese support of TPP. The chapter argues that foreign policy interests were necessary to overcome domestic obstacles to liberalization. But the role of geopolitics in Japanese trade policy has moved beyond reaction to US pressure for liberalization. In the proactive use of economic statecraft, Japan seeks to deepen regional integration in East Asia and balance against China. Changes in the administrative process within the Japanese government and the decision to position the international trade agreement within the framework of policies for domestic economic restructuring further strengthened the resilience of Japanese commitment to the agreement and show how megaregulation can be embedded within domestic political reform agendas.
Structuring Participation: Public Comments and the Dynamics of US Trade Negotiations
Authors: Gulotty Robert 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
TPP was faulted both for its expansive mandate and its secrecy. In this chapter, I examine the effect of information about the negotiations on the content of public engagement. To do so, I use automated text analysis techniques on 4,000 comments submitted by businesses, individuals, governments, and activist groups to the US Trade Representative (USTR) during the course of the negotiations. These comments address various aspects of the treaty, and offer a comparable baseline of interest group activity surrounding TPP. After describing the topical content of these statements, I statistically test the association between these topics and the information environment—comparing periods prior to and following official and unofficial public disclosures of the content of the agreement. I find that while unofficial disclosure had little effect on the content of concerns surrounding TPP, publication enabled mass participation and engagement on topics that undercut the US negotiations. The official publication of the text elicited vocal opposition, particularly from critics of the balance between corporate interests and national sovereignty.
Hegel’s antiquity
Authors: Lev Kenaan Vered 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 2 presents the question of the unconscious in the context of the history of nineteenth-century German reflection on the encounter between moderns and ancients. The Hegelian dialectic of negation and preservation serves to unpack the received, modified memory of antiquity. In contrast to the common nineteenth-century view that regards classical antiquity as humanity’s remote childhood—its primordial past—Hegel’s notion of antiquity emphasizes rather its connectedness to present circumstances. For Hegel, the memory of antiquity is part of the present and therefore has a formative influence on the openness of modern consciousness to its future.
Introduction
Authors: Lev Kenaan Vered 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
A fresco of the Oedipus drama from the second-century Egyptian Nile Valley is a springboard for an analysis that illustrates how unconscious knowledge is formed and activated by communication across eras and cultures. The fresco is shown to reproduce a visual possibility in which being unconscious and gaining consciousness coalesce, and conveys the idea that searching for the truth and turning to futural horizons of meaning are always evocative of the past. We are introduced to the notion that the modern construction of Oedipus by Freud does not simply leave the ancient character without an unconscious; the interdependence of historical periods and places is too great for any such hierarchy.
Bonhoeffer’s Hermeneutic Theology
Authors: Zimmermann Jens 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 5 explains and delineates the fundamentally hermeneutic quality of Bonhoeffer’s theology or what may be called his Christological hermeneutic. The chapter begins by describing Bonhoeffer’s hermeneutic consciousness evident from structural similarities between philosophical hermeneutics and hermeneutic elements in his early works. It then describes Bonhoeffer’s Christ-Reality as the hermeneutical circle that grounds his participatory ontology and enables a hermeneutic phenomenology, i.e., a fundamentally interpretive stance toward human experience. This hermeneutic stance is then illustrated by the concept of simple minded obedience of discipleship, exemplified by the unified self, described in the previous chapter. Contrary to critics like John Webster, Bonhoeffer deliberately combines single-minded obedience with the need for hermeneutical discernment. The final sections of this chapter further deepen the hermeneutics of discipleship as engaged knowing by describing the importance of the incarnational structure of manger, cross, and resurrection together with the eschatological structure of ultimate-penultimate things for Bonhoeffer’s Christological hermeneutic. Both structures determine the interpretive discernment required for striving to live a Christ-shaped life characterized by the kind of freedom Bonhoeffer calls “realistic responsibility.”
Magnitudes
Authors: Peacocke Christopher 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
A new realistic account of an ontology of extensive magnitudes is developed, formulated in Seven Principles. The principles are defended by the role of magnitudes in scientific explanation and in counterfactuals. Scientific laws can be formulated using this ontology of magnitudes. A metaphysics-first view of the perception of magnitudes is then defended by using this metaphysics of magnitudes. The metaphysics-first treatment permits explanation of features of the perception of extensive magnitudes. Notions of analogue computation, analogue representation, and analogue content are explained using this apparatus. Deployment of the resulting theory allows the development, against Kuhn, of a case for the objectivity of analogue perceptual content.
Whitman and the Transformations of Labor
Authors: Riley Peter 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This chapter examines Whitman’s entanglement within the broader politics of labor relations in the mid-nineteenth century. Whitman is seen as thinking through an alternative figuration of Marx’s labor theory of value, with the various corporeal metaphors and formal experiments in his poetry serving as a counterpart to Marx’s gothic dystopian depictions of alienated labor. The laboring body becomes a conceptual balm in Whitman’s poetic imaginary, informing the dimensions of his alternative social vision. His own complicity in the fluctuating tensions of his laboring environment, embodied chiefly by the rising tensions between slavery and the expanding market, rescued his poetic vision from restating the reactionary vocational essentialisms that defined the popular labor movements of the 1850s. Ultimately, he articulated a politically subversive poetics that resisted contemporary fictions of racial purity, and along with it any transparent notion of free market exchange.
Introduction
Authors: Riley Peter 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The introduction considers why certain archival materials come preloaded with particular discomforts. What unspoken assumptions, for example, quietly distance Whitman the poet from a seemingly insignificant sample of wallpaper with a poem drafted on the back? And what happens when it becomes apparent that such a fragment actually provides an alternative documentary perspective on a creative process that produced a book of poems while distracted by, and incorporating other, decidedly non-poetic forms of labor? Theorizing such ephemera as “archives of distraction,” the introduction figures the work of certain poets not as any discrete or discernible form of labor, but as a living sensuous activity that equivocates at the thresholds of labor’s emerging divisions and hierarchies. It goes on to demonstrate how such activity challenges some of the foundational tenets of what this book terms “vocational modernity.”
The Age of Enlightenment in Russia
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 2 tackles the relationship between science and religion in the eighteenth century known as the Age of Enlightenment. The state policy of Westernization which was promoted chiefly by Peter I and Catherine II caused an immensely expansive spread of scientific knowledge and, in consequence, resulted in the first attempts to establish a relationship between science and theology. The chapter analyses this problem from both scientific and theological perspectives. First of all, in the eighteenth century the Russian Academy of Sciences was opened and Russian philosophy at that time tried to interpret scientific data in accordance with theological truths. Yet, on the other hand, a number of Orthodox theologians highlighted the limitation of scientific knowledge. This chapter analyzes the thought of Michael Lomonosov, Gregory Skovoroda, Theophan Prokopovich, and others representatives of the Russian Age of Enlightenment.
Russian Academic Philosophy
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 3 is dedicated to the so-called academic philosophy which was a unique Russian phenomenon. Russian theological academies were the place of the development of philosophical investigations, including those connected with the question of the role of science for theology. The proponents of this way of philosophizing elaborated the interesting project of the so-called scientific and natural apologetics which enabled them to protect religion from atheist attacks. Academy professors interpreted particular scientific theories in the spirit of the reconciliation between faith and reason, which they broadcast, although that position often existed at the expense of not abiding by the competence of science and subordinating its facts to the unbending dogmas of Christianity.
The Slavophile Contribution
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 5 considers the thought of the Slavophiles, such as Ivan Kireevsky and Alexei Khomyakov, who supported the natural and exact sciences. They criticized the Western model of the relationship between science and religion because of secularization on the one hand and the allegeable limitation of scientific investigation on the other. By contrast, Orthodoxy was perceived by the Slavophiles—too enthusiastically and inaccurately—as a place of non-conflicting coexistence of faith and science. They proposed the concept of the so-called integral life and integral knowledge. This chapter discusses the universal epistemological significance of faith which, according to the Slavophiles, is necessary also for scientific investigation.
Faith and Science in Russian Literature
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 6 shows the presence of the topic of the relationship between faith and science in the thought of the most influential literature figures, such as Fedor Dostoevsky and Lev Tolstoy. Although Dostoevsky stressed the role of faith, his account by no means was a mere fideism. Dostoevsky respected natural science, even if he definitively marked the limits of the scientific explanation. Hence, he strove for an integral attitude embracing faith and reason in a single spiritual unity. By contrast, Lev Tolstoy was concerned about the absolute comprehensibility and rational obviousness of Christian truths, yet denied the significance of natural science.
Vladimir Soloviev
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 7 is dedicated to Soloviev who elaborated the ambitious metaphysical system of all-unity which was supposed to be the organic unity of all beings. Basing on it, he tried to justify the concept of integral knowledge, positing an “external” alliance of philosophy, theology, and science. According to Soloviev, science cannot penetrate the empirical phenomena without taking into account their metaphysical, ideal foundations. This chapter also provides an analysis of the selected case study for this project: the Solovievian interpretation of the theory of evolution as coherent with Orthodoxy. It is stressed that Soloviev considered the process of evolution as being of a clear teleological and even eschatological character.
Nikolai Lossky
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 8 considers the project of Nikolai Lossky who tried to “justify” the truths of faith by means of philosophical terms. It shows his attempt to reconcile physics and metaphysics. The chapter presents the original metaphysical concept of the “substantival agent” of Lossky which is the base for physical phenomena. It also presents his attempt to reconcile scientific knowledge (especially the theory of evolution) and Christian dogmas. For Lossky evolution is a way into the Kingdom of God since the final stage of evolution is the achievement of unity with God. The chapter also discusses some shortages of Lossky’s concept, especially its highly speculative character.
Semen Frank
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 10 analyzes the thought of Semen Frank who intended to expose the absolute priority of theology and “justify” secular branches of knowledge using theological tools. For him the relationship between science and theology is nothing other than a part of the question of religion as such, the correlation between the transcendency and the immanency of God. Frank was deeply concerned about the atheistic propaganda in the Soviet Union. In particular, he objected to the alleged conflict between science and religion. In his works Frank intended to unmask the falsity of this conclusion as well as to propose such a model of the relationship between these spheres which would be in accordance with a Christian worldview.
Russian Existential Philosophy
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 11 presents the concepts of Nikolai Berdyaev and Lev Shestov who highlighted the mysterious dimension of the whole of reality from the perspective of his existential philosophy. For Berdyaev the main feature of the universe is mystery because it is coherent with the capacity for free, unforced cognition. On the one hand, for Berdyaev the rationality of the world illustrates divine rationality, but, on the other, he stressed that conceptual knowledge does not capture the mystery of the world and specifically does not solve the problems of existence. Lev Shestov was one of the more radical opponents of the expression religious truths by means of exploiting philosophical terms, and separated faith from reason. At the same time, he did not so much deny science, as the field of rational activity, which is scientism.
Philosophy from the Perspective of Language
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 12 is dedicated to the analysis of the problem of the relationship between faith and science through the prism of language, as in the thought of Sergius Bulgakov and Alexei Losev. Their reflection on the nature of language of science and theology was provoked by the religious-philosophical movement of onomatodoxy, according to which the name of God is not something conventional, dependent on the possibility of human language, but is real par excellence. This perspective determined the methodological questions concerning the possibility of theological discourse on God and its relation with scientific knowledge. Both fields use symbolical language, although the priority belongs to the first one.
Neopatristic Synthesis and Science
Authors: Obolevitch Teresa 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chapter 14 presents the current state of the discussion on this topic by paying attention to one of the most influential philosophical and theological movements in contemporary Orthodox thought—the Neopatristic synthesis. The Neopatristic synthesis is an approach to the development of patristic thought in the contemporary world and its application to different branches of knowledge, including science. According to Fr. George Florovsky, science has an imperfect character because knowledge of the empirical world is possible only from the theological point of view. The chapter also discusses some contemporary proposals of the Neopatristic synthesis, including from Alexei Nesteruk, Sergey Khoruzhy, and others.
A. J. Raffles
Authors: Moss Eloise 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Arthur J. Raffles, fictional ‘cracksman’ by night and England cricketing star by day, burst onto the literary scene in 1898. Created by Ernest William Hornung, brother-in-law of Sherlock Holmes’ author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Raffles was Holmes’ antithesis: the fun-loving master thief. Embodying the ‘pleasure culture’ surrounding the burglar, Raffles’ physical attractiveness and athleticism blurred the lines between moral virtue and romantic allure. As the original novels were continually remade in theatre and film and their characters reincarnated in those media, newspapers began to label real burglars ‘Raffles’. This chapter examines how, where criminality was concerned, distinguishing between fact and fiction presented unnecessary (and unheeded) complications to commercial success. Espying an opportunity, ex-criminals appropriated this sympathetic ‘Raffles’ title for themselves, using the idea of ‘real-life Raffles’ to fashion glamorous celebrity personae through lucrative autobiographical writings. The character became an international phenomenon, beloved by audiences across Europe and America who flocked to see his exploits at the cinema and continually identified the burglar as an English ‘hero’, akin to Robin Hood. Yet Raffles was no philanthropist. Keeping the jewels for himself and glorifying in escaping capture by police, Raffles was a figure of danger for many contemporaries, who identified the longevity of his success as a harbinger of popular unrest caused by economic depression that might seduce generations of young people into a life of crime. The chapter historicizes how cultural responses to romanticized versions of burglary were conditioned by critiques of poverty and the habits of the wealthy.
Burglary Insurance and the Culture of Fear
Authors: Moss Eloise 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Terrifying images of burglars carrying knives and guns, scrambling through windows, or standing silent and masked beside householders’ beds, characterized the marketing strategy of the burglary insurance sector, which sprung into existence during the 1880s. Chapter 5 shows how, by exacerbating homeowners’ fears of the presence of the burglar within the home, and the prevalence of burglary nationally, insurers merged individual and national concerns about the crime in a calculated bid to attract custom. It analyses fear-mongering insurance adverts, with their promise to act as a bastion of security against financial loss, alongside instances when victims of burglary attempted to make a claim. Caveats dealing with the need to prove that burglars had indeed ‘broken’ in were contingent on homeowners fitting sophisticated, branded locks and latches at points of vulnerability on windows and doors. Just as this made securing financial compensation more challenging, it also instilled the idea of burglars’ expertise and professionalism should they conquer these defences. As the self-styled commercial ‘protection’ against burglary, burglary insurance became an ordinary household investment. Its prosperity therefore enables us to identify those ideas about crime and criminal that held currency in the minds of consumers. Crucially, this chapter highlights the intersection of media, state, and market discourse about crime in weaving a specific version of burglary into the very fabric of everyday life, uniting three domains that historians of crime have traditionally treated separately.
Defying the Burglar in Post-War London
Authors: Moss Eloise 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Burglary in London during the decades after the Second World War continued to emblematize the fears, preoccupations, and experiences of ‘home’ of modern urbanites. Burglars’ prevalence was inextricable from the city’s national and international reputation, a reality that posed a stark criminal contrast to the refrain of Britons’ ‘never having it so good’, as Prime Minister Harold MacMillan declared in 1957. Violence, especially the spiralling rates of sexual violence that tore apart households attempting to recover from the war, created a pronounced association between burglary, rape, and on occasion, murder. Chapter 7 reveals the attempts of police officers and criminal psychologists to rationalize the actions of perpetrators in relation to their childhoods, relationships, and family circumstances, embodied in a series of violent burglaries committed during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Yet officials’ observations largely effaced the broader reality of widespread forms of poverty and precarious employment that also fostered crime. The potential for burglars to once more imperil residents’ sense of security had bigger implications for the city’s resurgent economy, damaging the attractiveness of the capital to visiting movie stars and celebrities (and their jewels) who were otherwise drawn to its ‘swinging’ reputation. In response, the Metropolitan Police’s ‘Beat the Burglar’ campaign, created in coordination with security and insurance companies, tried to institute an embryonic form of ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ system. Encouraging citizens to monitor one another and report disturbances, it compromised cherished notions of privacy in the efforts to collapse space and time between police and prey.
