Avali Alāha nūru ūpāiā
Authors: Puri Maria 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The chapter examines a cluster of five Kabīrian hymns found in Rāga Prabhtī section of the Guru Granth Sahib (GGS), which, besides the utterances of the Sikh gurus, includes compositions by bhagats, among them Kabīr. The compositions of bhagats are known collectively as bhagat bāṇī, with the appellation of Kabīr Bāṇī given to the body of sabads and saloks bearing Kabīr signature. Taking hymn V, the opening line of which is quoted in the title, as the starting point, all the five hymns are analysed for sectarian, and more specifically, Islamic overtones, in an attempt to place the cluster within the Sikh praxis and textual scholarship. A hypothesis linking editorial strategies evident in the five-cluster arrangement with the consummate exposition of the Sikh worldview provides a possible working template for intratextual studies of the Kabirian oeuvre and further discourse on the dialogic nature of the GGS as a whole.
Translating the Truth of Truths
Authors: Cavaliere Stefania 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This introduction presents the following three chapters, which deal with three interconnected works belonging to the textual tradition of the Sanskrit allegorical drama Prabodhacandrodaya by Kr̥ṣṇamiśra (11th century). Each of these three chapters focuses on a translation of the text, namely the Brajbhāṣā version of Nanddās (1570), which may have been the intermediary between the Sanskrit matrix and the Persian translation Gulzār-i ḥāl (1662-3) by the poet Balīrām, and another version in Brajbhāṣā by Brajvāsīdās (1760), itself based on the Persian text. Considering each text independently, the chapters will highlight some variations in the evolution of the story, adapting to different historical, religious and cultural contexts. In parallel, a joint analysis of these works in their mutual connections and in relation to their matrix raises questions about the dynamics of circulation of ideas and texts in early modern Indian intellectual history.
The Gulzār-i ḥāl by Banvālīdās
Authors: Cappello Giuseppe 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the transmission and reception of the Gulzār-i ḥāl by Banvālīdās, a Persian adaptation of the Sanskrit drama Prabodhacandrodaya by Kr̥ṣṇamiśra (11th century). It is also hypothesized that Banvālīdās composed it through the intermediacy of Prabodhcandroday nāṭak (c.1570), a Brajbhāṣā version by Nanddās. In his work, Banvālīdās textualized Advaitic philosophical elements of the source text(s) through the filter of Vaḥdat al-Vujūd, the tradition of Islamic mysticism considering God and the creation as one Being, and the entire world as His manifestation. This chapter focuses on two possible prefaces of Banvālīdās’ work to investigate how the source texts and their authors were presented to the Indo-Persian readership through the agency of Persian literary conventions and Sufi technical terms. It also focuses on the working praxis used to adapt the Braj source into Persian to shed light on how problematic the attribution of the Gulzār-i ḥāl to Banvālīdās only is.
The Sixth Tale
Authors: Bitel Lisa M. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Family in the síd had its advantages. Your kinfolk were beautiful, immortal, and wealthy, and they could wield magic. Mortal parents could be more difficult. Ailill and Medb manipulated their children for their own selfish purposes, as in this tale and the story of the great Cattle-Raid of Cúailnge. The story of that táin flows as an underground current through this táin, which is more like a romance of Fróech and Findabair. Some poets will tell you that this tale, too, exists merely to explain why Fróech brought his troops to help Medb in the Cattle-Raid. Although it is also called a táin, there is no rustling in this tale until the end. Scholars quarrel about whether it began as a tale told around the fire or was composed by an imaginative monk at his writing table.
Afterword
Authors: Green Jeffrey Edward 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The Afterword justifies the propriety of treating Bob Dylan as a modern-day prophet. It addresses readers who remain hesitant about that characterization by pointing to both similarities and fruitful differences between Dylan and prophets of the biblical type and by explaining why Dylan is an ideal prophet for those otherwise skeptical of prophecy. It recapitulates Dylan’s original contributions to the meaning of self-reliance, postsecularism, and political realism. And it concludes by comparing Dylan and Ralph Waldo Emerson, both freethinking and eloquent standard-bearers in their respective times, but divergent in their perspectives on the potential for harmony between duty to self and duty to others and their outlook for a just and democratic future world.
Maimon's Essay on a New Logic or Theory of Thinking
Authors: Franz Timothy 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The Essay on a New Logic or Theory of Thinking was Salomon Maimon’s hard-won success after a lifetime’s pursuit of philosophical wisdom, originally published in Berlin in 1794. Timothy Franz presents its first English translation, with the goal of allowing the New Logic to be an object of further study, accessible to the philosophical tradition. Maimon’s work is the product of philosophical genius, and at its heart it is a serene account of reflection on thought that determines the principles of logic, on the one hand, and the principles of scientific cognition of the world, on the other, culminating in a thought-provoking metaphysics and philosophy of religion. Maimon also intended the work to be the foundation of his ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics. However, as a Jewish philosopher from Lithuania, he had learned his subject as a wanderer, and he struggled to be understood by his fellow Jews, by Germans, and by the philosophical community. Consequently, there is considerable tension between Maimon’s philosophical vision and his persona and presentation. Franz translates the text of the New Logic, the Letters of Philalethes to Aenesidemus, in which Maimon defends his views against the thinkers closest to him, two hostile reviews he vigorously annotated, and the letter to Kant introducing his idea for a critical philosophy of logic. Franz prefaces the work with a brief history of Maimon’s philosophical development and an introduction that attempts to reconcile Maimon’s presentation with his argument and to understand both of them together.
[Pure Reason and Illusion]
Authors: Franz Timothy 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Chapter 12 is Maimon’s criticism of Kant’s doctrine of the ideas of reason. Maimon argues that Kant’s ideas of the soul, world, and God are erroneous products of imagination rather than reason. The argument is that, while Kant takes reason to be the capacity of principles (since reason tries to justify the validity of inferences in general by grounding this validity on the highest principles of the soul, the world, or God), Maimon takes reason to be only the capacity to infer. For Maimon has already obtained the principles of valid inference in his reflection. Therefore, the faculty of inferences has nothing to do with how far inferences go, and it does not seek to ground itself beyond itself. Thus, Maimon begins to differentiate reason and the imagination on this point. One consequence of this is that Maimon will not take Kant’s Transcendental Antinomies to be consequential arguments.
Why Did Calvin Write His Prefatory Letter to King Francis I?
Authors: Balserak Jon 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines Calvin’s life and intellectual, spiritual, and moral development up to roughly 1536. The chapter discusses Calvin’s conversion to evangelicalism and his flight from Paris and eventually France, due to accusations of Lutheranism. It then examines Calvin’s prefatory letter to King Francis I, which he included in the first edition of his Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536) (as well as every other edition). It argues that the contents of the letter are crafted so as to present Calvin in a particular light and hide his (illegal) plans to evangelize his French homeland—plans which he had already begun. This demonstrates Calvin’s deep concern to craft his public-facing image. The chapter concludes with his arrival in Geneva and mentions his friendship with, and the possible influence on him of, Guillaume Farel.
Conclusion
Authors: Pilcher Jeffrey M. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The conclusion summarizes the book as a history of how humans have made beer and how they have made meanings with these beers. It follows the invention of beer styles as they served to commodify the beverage, creating status symbols with the cachet of local origins, even after production had become thoroughly globalized. Global perspective is important to reveal how exchange spurred the development of brewing traditions, which have often been attributed to isolated nations or civilizations. Global vision also reveals the power relationships that have shaped the production and consumption of beer, particularly the racialized politics of prohibition and empire. The evolution of beer has depended on the formation of taste communities, from the early modern styles to the invention of craft beer connoisseurship on the internet. Although mass-produced and craft beers have been marketed with vastly different messages, both are capitalist commodities with mutually intwined destinies.
Mexican Philosophy in the Twentieth Century
Authors: Sánchez Carlos Alberto 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In this chapter, we explain how Mexican philosophy is not European philosophy. Beginning with Alonso de la Veracruz, philosophy in Mexico sought to remain neutral, to remain at a distance from its environment and its circumstance. But as time wore on, its neutrality was tested by the demands of Mexico itself. The methods of European philosophy began to be seen as ill-fitted to this New World reality, being simply too abstract for an alien land. Nonetheless, it persisted, and for centuries the American circumstance continued to be seen through a European lens. Eventually, in the twentieth century, Mexican philosophy would arrive at a conception of itself as distinctive, still reflecting its relation to Europe but now actively affirming itself in its own individuality in spite of that relation. In the process of becoming aware of itself, it achieves a certain anti-Europeanness.
Rest in Peace, Charles Byrne?
Authors: Gerber David A. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
It isn’t often that the deathbed wishes of an obscure eighteenth-century Irish peasant who barely lived twenty-two years become a matter for intense contemporary public ethical debate or international media attention. Such is the case with the instructions that Charles Byrne (1761–1783), the publicly exhibited “Irish Giant,” gave his friends, as he lay dying in shabby rooms in London in 1783. Byrne told them that he wanted to be buried at sea in a leaded coffin that would sink irretrievably to the ocean floor, there to be left alone and never to be a spectacle again. Byrne is still waiting over two centuries later to have his deathbed wishes fully honored. As this chapter will make clear, Byrne’s desire to control the fate of his own body, which was in life a spectacle viewed for money by a gawking public, has resonated well beyond his death.
Chin Up
Authors: Craton Lillian E. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Was it her beard and her “manly” assertion of rights that brought Madam Clofullia’s marriage to an end? Like the gossipy Clipper, this chapter seeks to intrude on their personal realm. What role did this woman’s facial hair play in shaping her opportunities for romance? How did it affect her sense of her own value? Was she proud of her beard and career? Was she embarrassed by it? Such questions of affect and personal experience are the hardest to answer when one revisits the historical bearded ladies of the nineteenth-century freak show. This desire to connect—to meet these performers as real people—shows how compelling images of bodily spectacle remain decades after Leslie Fielder showed “that the distinction between audience and exhibit, we and them, normal and Freak” is simply “illusion . . . untenable in the end.” Ultimately, it is curiosity about bearded ladies that is interrogated in this essay.
Monstrous Births and the Religious Imagination
Authors: Stahl Devan 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The history of monstrous births in the West is inextricable from religious history. Christianity in particular was responsible for defining the meaning of monstrous events—those natural events, including the birth of children, that appeared to contravene the natural order. Christian theology drove how such individuals were understood and treated for centuries. Well into the modern era, monstrous births provoked intense theological speculation, particularly for Christians who believed they could understand God through the created world. What exactly God was communicating, however, was debated. No matter what conclusion was drawn, however, the unusual anatomy of the monstrous child was meaningful. The transcendent meaning—how the body related to God—and social meaning—what the body signaled to the community—of the monster’s body had to be considered before the physician or anatomist was allowed to intervene on it (whether the monster was alive or dead).
Guitar Voicing II
Authors: Koozin Timothy 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Following the introduction to guitar barre chords provided in Chapter 1, this chapter continues with guitar chords that utilize open strings, showing how basic fretted chord shapes form “chord spaces” that guitarists navigate creatively. Examples by artists including Tom Petty, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, the Eagles, and Liz Phair provide a framework in exploring songs by Sheryl Crow that use fretboard space to establish axial harmonic relationships, projecting virtual environments and dramatic trajectories that interact with vocal persona. Crow employs G-chord space in an artistically personalized way to craft an individual creative strategy. Blending rock and country style idioms, she creates songs that juxtapose mythic imagery of the American West against realistic narratives of modern romance, crisis, and recovery. Given the easy access to the more materially grounded E minor submediant, G-chord fretboard space offers the potential to musically personify a powerful metaphor: a crisis waiting to happen.

From Language Revitalization to Digital Replication
Authors: Matthes Erich Hatala 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter argues that conservation practices that are participatory and situated are best positioned to allow individuals and communities to confront change on their own terms. Building on the argument from the previous chapter, which argued that conservation should aim to empower individuals and communities to confront change on terms they can accept, this chapter surveys conservation cases from a wide range of contexts in order to illustrate how such conservation practices can generate distinctive participatory goods. The ability of community members to participate in conservation also shapes our understanding of what kinds of things are authentic and how authenticity can be maintained. The chapter considers both familiar cases of material conservation as well as novel forms of digital preservation and replication.
Nahuatl Nations
Authors: Pharao Hansen Magnus 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The Nahuatl language is one of Mexico’s official national languages, and as the language of the Aztecs, it holds a special place in the national imagination. But it is also the language of many indigenous micro-nations scattered throughout the country, and even across the borders into the United States. So what happens when the Mexican state that has long worked to eradicate indigenous languages decides to support and revitalize indigenous languages, and does this help or damage the ability of indigenous communities to keep their languages alive? Based on long-term ethnography, this book is about how the Nahuatl language plays a role in the political life of different kinds of communities, from the Mexican nation, to indigenous towns and regions, and to the Mexican diaspora in the United States. It is also about how politics plays a role in the life of a language. It argues that to understand why some indigenous languages become endangered and disappear, while others remain vital community languages, one must understand the political relations between the speech communities and the national community, and the way that the language is integrated into the fabric of indigenous community life. Engaging with indigenous scholarship on political sovereignty of indigenous peoples, it introduces the concept of “semiotic sovereignty” to analyze the semiotic relations between indigenous political communities and nation-state politics. It argues that it is of crucial importance for indigenous communities to control their own semiotic resources, prominently including language.
Introduction
Authors: McNicholl Adeana 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The Introduction introduces the sources investigated throughout the book: narratives about pretas composed in South Asia during the first millennium of Buddhism’s development. These stories, which typically feature humans misbehaving and being reborn as suffering ghosts, or pretas, do not merely communicate abstract ideas about cosmology and karma for the masses. Instead, Preta narratives contributed to the ongoing construction of Buddhist cosmology. Stories about humans being reborn as suffering pretas were additionally not simple scare tactics to encourage good behavior. These tales posit an affective process of ethical cultivation in which the generation of ethical selves corresponds to that of ideal bodies. The production of affective experiences through literary aesthetics is key to ethical development in these stories, which both model and elicit embodied experiences that are ethically formative.
“Disappearing into clouds of smoke”
Authors: Klitzman Robert L. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to the book. It charts how the author, a physician and psychiatrist, became interested in these topics, journeying from wariness of the roles of religion and spirituality in medicine, given his scientific training, to seeing how these realms constitute important dimensions of patients’ experiences, and how physicians often ignore these domains. This chapter describes the in-depth interview research that underlies the book and outlines its key themes: how patients of varied beliefs (from devoutly religious—whether Christian, Jewish, or Muslim—to “spiritual but not religious,” atheist or agnostic) confront these challenges, how doctors often ignore these areas, and how chaplains have developed ways of addressing these realms and aiding patients and families. However, chaplains face obstacles and are often marginalized or misunderstood. These issues have broader implications for elucidating how people of varied backgrounds wrestle with religious, spiritual, and existential quandaries.
“Why has God let me down?”
Authors: Klitzman Robert L. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Before they confront serious disease and possible death, most people have held beliefs of some kind, whether religious, spiritual, agnostic, or atheistic. Initially, many patients struggle to rely on these past perspectives, but these prior beliefs, while helping numerous patients, frequently falter. This chapter probes how chaplains help such patients and families. Members of conservative churches often feel disappointed and incensed at God, wondering whether God has forsaken them, and chaplains encourage such patients to explore these emotions. Patients also may clash with their families or others about such beliefs. Combat veterans and other patients who may have injured others, even if unintentionally, can wrestle with added guilt. Even nonreligious patients at times feel intense regrets that can affect their mind and body. Parents of ill children frequently feel that they are somehow responsible for their offspring’s disease. Chaplains have developed supple ways of assisting patients and families grappling with these concerns.
“The voice of the voiceless”
Authors: Klitzman Robert L. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Due to their limited resources, chaplaincy departments unfortunately miss many individuals, especially members of certain vulnerable groups. These groups vary, but all of them confront misunderstandings, stigma, discrimination, and barriers in receiving ideal spiritual and other care. Doctors and nurses may have difficulty communicating with non-vocal patients, for instance, who nonetheless face existential and spiritual challenges. Psychiatry has long viewed religion with suspicion, yet patients with mental health problems, too, face existential and spiritual quandaries that psychopharmacology may miss. Given various religious institutions’ homophobia, LGBTQ+ patients often grapple with added challenges, but feel that spirituality is important. Disadvantaged minority groups of other ethnicities and races may receive substandard care, too. Muslim patients have been increasing in number but encounter particular barriers. Islamophobia can impede mental health and pursuit of treatment. Unfortunately, chaplains remain disproportionately white and Christian and speak English only.
The Intelligibility Question (Part I)
Authors: Kane Robert 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This chapter begins the discussion of the Intelligibility Question: Can one make sense of a free will requiring indeterminism without reducing it to mere chance, or luck or mystery? The chapter begins to show how this might be done by appealing to a certain kind of self-formation and what the author calls “self-forming actions” or SFAs. In the process of doing this, the chapter addresses a host of objections and criticisms concerning the intelligibility and possibility of such a libertarian free will, objections from empirical sciences, from issues about luck, about micro- and macro-control, about so-called Austin-style examples, objections concerning the phenomenology and rationality of such actions, about probabilistic causation, will-power, responsibility, and other objections and issues encountered in beginning to develop a coherent and intelligible libertarian account of free will.
