The Demon Inside
Authors: Soon Isaac T. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that Paul’s angel of Satan would have been understood to be a demonic force that inhabitates his body with the holy spirit in order to perfect God’s power in him. It argues that although transmundane spirits have different names like spirit, demon, or angel, for Paul’s hearers the expression ‘an angel of Satan’ describing his thorn in the flesh would be indistinguishable from a demonic force. The chapter analyses whether Paul thinks demons can inhabit believer’s bodies, especially given the presence of God’s holy spirit. It proposes that despite Paul’s prohibitions against fellowshipping with demonic forces, the angel of Satan in Paul is a divinely granted exception.
A Bestial Glans
Authors: Soon Isaac T. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that Paul’s circumcision departed from the established male genital ideal widely held in the ancient Greek and Roman world, the ideal of having foreskin. Non-Jews viewed the mutilation of the foreskin as a barbarian act that altered the ‘natural’ features of the male genitalia. The exposure of the penile glans was a powerful act used to ward off the evil eye, and was synonymous with hypersexuality. In ancient visual culture, the placement of circumcision on barbarian bodies (e.g. Egyptians) as well as hybrid human creatures like centaurs suggests that ancient Romans viewed circumcision as a physical impairment worthy only of the uncivilized.
Conclusion
Authors: DeFalco Amelia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Curious Kin concludes by testing the limits of posthuman care’s conceptual capacity, scrutinizing its implied biocentric parameters and the ethical and political implications of theorizing care beyond life. Examining Louise Erdrich’s “The Stone,” which imagines care beyond (biocentric) life, the conclusion considers the degree to which a posthuman theory of care demands a critical re-evaluation of “life” that moves beyond anthropocentric humanist definitions to register the relational import of posthumous posthuman being. Considering nonhuman, nonliving, inanimate care in light of Indigenous knowledges and critical life scholarship that contest the Anglo-European scientific and philosophical contours of life and being, the conclusion offers posthumous model of posthuman care uninhibited by the conventions of normative filial affiliations and biocentric limitations to ethical consideration.
Natural Law
Authors: Coyle Sean 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter II offers a definition of natural law; it discusses the basis of natural law in reason and in nature; it further identifies the starting-points of natural law and its theory in the work of Aquinas; it provides some criticism of Finnis’s account, and sets out the purposes of natural law theory as aside from those of ethics; finally it provides some discussion of Suarez’s work.
Morality and Human Good
Authors: Coyle Sean 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter III discusses the nature of goodness for human beings, and how this is linked to perfectibility, rejecting the idea that moral duty is grounded in reciprocity. The chapter sets out a theory of core morality and distinguishes this from the general morality of a community and reasserts goodness as the basis of moral action. It considers a response to Plato’s Callicles along the lines suggested by Aristotle.
What Is Neopragmatism?
Authors: Gert Joshua 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter provides a general overview of neopragmatism, which is a general view of way language functions. Beginning with some remarks about its historical roots, the chapter presents and explains a number of neopragmatism’s distinctive features. Chief among these is that it replaces an emphasis on identifying the referents of words in language with an emphasis on the fact that language is a naturalistic phenomenon: a rule-governed practice of producing and responding to sounds and marks for primarily social purposes. Other features discussed include certain restrictions on the sorts of theoretical starting points that it allows itself. The chapter also stresses the neopragmatist’s overarching goal of demystifying the areas that have traditionally captivated metaphysicians, its deflationary views of truth and reference, and its distinctive metaphysical quietism.
A Neopragmatist Treatment of Causation and Laws of Nature
Authors: Roberts John T. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter presents a new neopragmatist account of laws of nature and causation (both singular and general). The central concept in this account is that of an effective method, which is (roughly) a way of promoting some practical end. Laws of nature are true regularities to which there is no effective method for producing counterinstances; causal relations reflect the means-end relations found in effective methods. Effectiveness of methods itself is to be understood in terms of what someone does when they attribute effectiveness to a method—in particular, in terms of how they thereby modify the social practice of assigning responsibility for outcomes to agents.
What Is Linguistic Interpretation?
Authors: Zalabardo José L. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter presents an account of what makes meaning ascriptions have the meaning they have (their meaning grounds) in terms of the procedures that regulate their acceptance. The characterization of the procedures that play this role takes as its starting point the notion of Radical Interpretation, or Translation, as developed by W. V. O. Quine and Donald Davidson. On this basic proposal, meaning ascriptions have the meaning they have by virtue of the fact that their acceptance is regulated by the method of Radical Interpretation. This starting point is modified in important ways. The meaning-grounding procedure that’s put forward in the end combines a projection criterion (favouring interpretations that ascribe to speakers the beliefs that we would have in their epistemic situation), a familiarity criterion (favouring interpretations that use as referents properties corresponding to concepts that can be easily constructed in terms of our atomic concepts), and non-verbal evidence for belief ascriptions.
Pragmatism in Practice
Authors: Blackburn Simon 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
How might our very general theoretical views—neopragmatism, as it might be, or metaphysical realism—affect our behavior or our political views? One avenue of such influence runs from the insuperable epistemological obstacles that an exaltedly metaphysical theory raises, and lead to a skepticism that leave us without any guardrails. But pragmatic views, with their dismissal of the cold marble of metaphysical truth, can sometimes lead to a similar sense of unshackling. This chapter describes one such sad case: that of Bruno de Finetti, whose pragmatism obstructed the formation of good principles of politics and ethics. It then turns to the more positive case of Ramsey where it aided the methodology of empirical judgements of chance. The chapter ends by considering whether there is as close a relationship between democracy and pragmatism as some recent writers have maintained.
Pragmatism and the Prudential Good
Authors: Heney Diana 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The question of what makes a life go well for the person living it is a perennial philosophical concern. It is also, as pragmatist C. I. Lewis suggests, an existential predicament: “How to cook up a good life, out of whatever ingredients, or of the ingredients found in the cupboard, is indeed the practical problem of every man. But it would be an utterly hopeless problem if he did not know what manner of thing he was wishing to achieve” (1970 [1950]). In this chapter, I demonstrate that methodological pragmatism offers a productive approach for questions about well-being—that thing we are wishing to achieve—and offers us preliminary answers through its vindication of a form of objectivism.
Metempsychosis, Sappho, and Adultery Laws
Authors: Thorsen Thea S. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that several moments in the prolific literary career of Constance de Salm (1767–1845), who was also known by the surnames Théis and Pipelet, can be identified as ‘Ovidian’. Salm was very well educated and knew and referred to Ovid in her writings. In this chapter, different works by Salm are called upon to frame relevant moments in her career, which strikingly evoke a range of typically Ovidian themes. As argued in this chapter, these themes include metempsychosis (the Metamorphoses and Le Bouton de rose), Sappho (Heroides 15 and the play Sapho), and adultery laws (Ars amatoria and Épître adressée à L’empereur Napoléon). The chapter concludes that that the two, as poets, share a strikingly similar courage, which might translate as feminism, even in the case of Ovid, especially when his legacy is regarded from the vantage point of Constance de Salm’s literary career.
Playful Metamorphoses
Authors: Illingworth James 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This essay traces the influence of Ovid on the works of George Sand (1804–76). It begins with an analysis of her autobiography Histoire de ma vie (1854–5), arguing that the mythic being that Sand describes inventing in her youth, Corambé, demonstrates a strong Ovidian influence. Assuming many forms and appearing varyingly as both male and female, Corambé is a metamorphic being that exists beyond gender, representing a rejection of binary modes of thinking. It is therefore simultaneously playful and political. Moreover, Sand’s autobiography explicitly connects Corambé with her emergence as a writer. Placing this being at the heart of Sand’s poetics, this essay then takes Sand’s fairy tale Histoire du véritable Gribouille (1850) as a case study, one that reflects the playful Corambé through its metamorphosing characters and its political message rejecting bourgeois, paternalist materialism. Attending to Sand’s Ovidian affinities reveals a different, more experimental side to Sand’s writing than is usually acknowledged, gesturing towards a mode of writing that is both aesthetically playful and politically engaged.
Cahun
Authors: Burke Catherine 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter recuperates Claude Cahun as important in the French conception of Ovid. Largely overlooked in her own era, Cahun is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance, with her Wikipedia page identifying her as a ‘queer pioneer’. The work of Cahun, at turns a visual artist or a literary one, has rarely been studied as a cohesive œuvre. I (re)turn to her writings in a balanced approach that sees the text as a visual companion to the image and vice-versa, and within this analysis it is her text Héroïnes, and not the critically favoured Aveux non avenus, which acts as the pivotal literary complement to her photographic archive. Drawing on both Ovid’s Heroides and Metamorphoses, Cahun exploits the traditional literary form as well as the emerging medium of photography to add her own unique voice to Ovidian reception. Under this perspective, Cahun becomes a modern-day Tiresias, whose work encapsulates voices of the past and prefigures those of the future. Under her pivotal Tiresian gaze, Cahun advocates for the voice of the creative individual, freeing both herself and others from the binary restrictions of gender categorization.
Kristeva’s Ovidian World
Authors: Hamel Kathleen 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Julia Kristeva considers that writing fiction can be a form of psychoanalysis. This is evident in Le Vieil Homme et les loups (1991), an autofictional retelling of the events surrounding the death of her father in communist Bulgaria. In this detective novel, Kristeva’s traumatic experiences are interwoven with a tale of an old man whose world is threatened by hordes of wolves. Infused with a sense of displacement, uncertainty, and instability, Le Vieil Homme draws on Ovid’s Metamorphoses to highlight the dangers to society posed by increasing indifference and banalization. By offering a close reading of the novel, this chapter responds to Kristeva’s request that the reader delve deeply rather than giving it a superficial reading. Her wide use of intertextual references and practices is in part self-referential, a reminder of her role in developing intertextuality. This intertextuality allows Kristeva to be inspired by old forms to tell of something new, thereby amplifying and enriching the novel’s meaning and import. An allegorical social commentary, the implications of which still resonate today, Le Vieil Homme reflects Kristeva’s fears for Western civilization, coloured by her formative experiences in Eastern Europe, and exemplified by the dangers threatening the continued existence of the Latin language and its poets. However, by employing Ovid’s enduring words and myths, Kristeva provides a chink of optimism. Adopting the great poet’s mantle, she offers a potent demonstration of his lasting staying-power, giving witness to the final word of the Metamorphoses, ‘Vivam’.
‘Il faut raconter mon long parcours’
Authors: Cox Fiona 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the presence of Ovid within writing that examines France’s postcolonial legacy, since it analyses the works of the French writer, Marie NDiaye, who writes of the connections between France and Senegal, and those of the French writer of Vietnamese origin, Linda Lê, who came to France at the age of fourteen. Inevitably exile is a dominant theme within these texts, though both writers are also preoccupied by the potential for metamorphosis and the power of language. Nevertheless, the emphasis laid upon homelessness, a lack of belonging, and exile establishes powerful connections to today’s refugee crisis in Europe, so that it is instructive to consider how Marie Cosnay employs Ovid to give voice to the ongoing horrors.
Epilogue
Authors: Cosnay Marie 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In this creative-critical hybrid piece, Marie Cosnay, translator of Ovid’s Metamorphoses and author of the novel, Des métamorphoses, uses her experience of the Covid-19 pandemic—the temporal dislocation of lockdown, the visceral confrontation of human and animal, the inescapability of bodies and of contact and contagion—as a way into thinking about how the lines that separate man, animal, and nature in Ovid’s Metamorphoses are blurred. Zooming in on the story of Lycaon in particular, and reflecting on her experiences of translating and teaching Ovid, Cosnay shows how his poem ‘lives’ in a pandemic-inflicted time of ecological crisis, not in the sense of the immortality conferred to this masterpiece, but in its pertinent scrutiny of the relationships between life forms (and particularly the question ‘what can we eat’?). In Cosnay’s writing, Ovid’s poem reminds us of the ethical imperatives entailed by the shared destiny of man and planet.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter highlights the Refugee or Person in Need of International Protection (Qualification) Regulations 2006, which came into force on 9 October 2006. These Regulations apply to any application for asylum which has not been decided and any immigration appeal brought under the Immigration Acts (as defined in section 64(2) of the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006) which has not been finally determined. The chapter then identifies who the actors of persecution or serious harm are, and who the actors of protection are. In deciding whether a person is a refugee or a person eligible for humanitarian protection, protection from persecution, or serious harm can be provided by the State or any party or organisation, including any international organisation, controlling the State or a substantial part of the territory of the State. A person is not a refugee if they fall within the scope of Article 1D, 1E, or 1F of the Geneva Convention.
The Immigration (Removal of Family Members) Regulations 2014
Authors: Allen Frances , Gasparro Julia , Swaney Jo , Phelan Margaret , Gillespie James 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter covers regulations that may be cited as the Immigration (Removal of Family Members) Regulations 2014, which took effect on 14 November 2014. It discusses the notice given to a family member that may be given at any time prior to a person’s removal or during the period of eight weeks beginning with the date on which the person is removed. It also explains that a notice given to a family member may be given by hand, sent by fax, or sent by postal service in which delivery or receipt is recorded. The chapter considers a “business day” as any day other than Saturday or Sunday, or a day which is a bank holiday under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971. It points out that in the case that a family member is a child below the age of 18 and does not have a representative, a notice is instead given to a person who is liable to be or has been removed from the United Kingdom.
