“Home Protection”
Authors: Evans Christopher H. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter explores Frances Willard’s career in 1876 and 1877 when she introduced to the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) her support of woman suffrage. Emphasizing the theme of “home protection,” Willard argued that women had a right to vote on measures to determine whether municipalities would grant saloon licenses. Stressing local-option suffrage, Willard forged friendships with influential women’s rights leaders like Susan B. Anthony and WCTU colleagues including Lillian Stevens, Zerelda Wallace, Hannah Whitall Smith, and J. Ellen Foster. At the same time, her desire to pursue a ministerial vocation made her accept an invitation to assist Dwight Moody in a Boston revival in 1877. The chapter discusses her relationship to Moody, as well as how Willard met during his crusade her trusted personal secretary, Anna Gordon.
“Our House Beautiful”
Authors: Evans Christopher H. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter explores the expansive nature of Frances Willard’s Do Everything agenda in the early 1890s. Firmly established as president of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), Willard continued to support the addition of new work areas, including a Department of World Peace led by Hannah Bailey. The chapter also highlights Willard’s continuing travels and how her exploits were covered in the popular WCTU periodical the Union Signal. While the early years of the 1890s brought her continued success, Willard’s views on racism set the stage for a major conflict later in her career. Further, her support of Matilda Carse’s efforts to finance a WCTU headquarters in Chicago, the Woman’s Temple, laid a foundation that in a few years would severely undermine Willard’s authority.
“Dearest Cossie”
Authors: Evans Christopher H. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses the burgeoning friendship between Willard and the British reformer Isabel Somerset. Somerset was president of the British Women’s Temperance Association and had close ties to numerous British reformers, including the Methodist minister Hugh Price Hughes. The chapter discusses the relationship between Willard and Somerset in the early 1890s, highlighting the two women’s role in hosting the first meeting of the World’s Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in 1891. A few months after this meeting, however, Willard faced her most devastating professional setback, marked by her failed attempt to forge a reform coalition around the People’s Party at the St. Louis Industrial Conference in 1892. That same year, Willard’s mother died—an event that led Willard to a prolonged absence from the United States, living in England with Somerset.
Biography
Authors: Ladenson Elisabeth A. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
À la recherche du temps perdu is, among other things, a multifaceted meditation on the relations between art and biography. Its centrality to both Proust’s work and his legacy has often been obscured by an academic strain of antibiographical interpretation, on the one hand—the “Death of the Author” school—and, on the other, more popular approaches which tend to ignore the distinction between author and narrator. Ambiguity as to the relation between the author and what he depicts is in any case built into the novel. The blurry relation between author and narrator-protagonist of the Recherche, which left early readers perplexed, no longer perplexes, and this is both because the work’s reputation precedes it and also because it has created its own posterity in the form of what has been dubbed autofiction.
In Search of Lost Weather
Authors: Zhang Dora 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Proust’s interest in the state of the skies is announced in the title of his work. The French temps derives from the Latin tempus, meaning both “time” and “season.” The close imbrication of these terms is evident in the Recherche, where the wake-up scenes that are so common throughout the novel are usually also attended by descriptions of the skies outside. Omitting the specificity of calendar dates, Proust prefers to mark the passage of time instead by the transformation of one season into another, as, for instance, the coming of autumn spells the imminent return from Balbec to Paris. The seasonal rhythms of recurrence and intermittence are also classically those of the Recherche. On the one hand, the novel is characterized by a set of regular repetitions, but on the other hand, it emphasizes discontinuity and the mutual impenetrability of any state (and each self) to a successive one.
Explorations in Analytic Ecclesiology
Authors: Cockayne Joshua 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This volume proposes an account of the nature and practice of the Church that draws from work in contemporary analytic social metaphysics, social epistemology, and social ethics. In the first book-length study of ecclesiology in analytic theology, Joshua Cockayne offers a vision of the Church, according to which the Church is united as the body of Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit, despite the apparent diversity of the Church in its gathered, particular forms. This account of the oneness of the Church in and through the work of the persons of the Trinity is then applied to explore the nature of baptism, the Eucharist, and liturgy.
One Spirit
Authors: Cockayne Joshua 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Chapter 2 explores how it could be that the Church is one in Christ, united by the work of the Holy Spirit, despite the overwhelming division and discord it displays. It argues that unity in the body of the Church must be located not in human organization or structure, but only in the work of the ‘one Spirit’ in whom ‘we were all are baptised’ (1 Cor. 12:13). Thus, a social ontology of the Church must emphasize the Spirit as the primary agent at work within it. By outlining recent work on the ontology of social groups, the chapter argues that functionalist accounts of group agency can help us to see how the Church as a social reality might be united by its decision-making procedures. Unlike the other social bodies discussed in this literature, however, the Church does not derive its decision-making from the group aggregation of its members, but instead, from the work of the Spirit within the community. Applying Richard Hooker’s work on Anglican Church polity, this chapter argues that one means of discerning the Spirit’s work might be through the structures of the institutional church, so long as these structures don’t seek to replace the Spirit’s work in the Church.
Acting as One
Authors: Cockayne Joshua 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Chapter 6 offers an account of participation in the life of the Church through the liturgies of gathered worship. The discussion is framed around Evelyn Underhill’s three modes of liturgical participation: joint action, representative action, and corporate silence. Expanding these three accounts of liturgical action, the chapter draws from recent work in analytic philosophy. On joint action, it considers how discussions of shared agency can help explain what it is to act jointly with another person in liturgy, say, in reading a liturgical script at the same time. The chapter proposes that one limitation of such accounts is that they cannot offer inclusive accounts of Church action which explain how all the Church’s members (including those with cognitive impairments and young children) contribute to the actions of the Church as a wider body. The chapter then considers how the application of the literature on group agency can explain the notion of representative action. Finally, it considers the nature of corporate silence in liturgy. Drawing from work in the philosophy of perception, the chapter argues that liturgical silence is not the same as absolute silence, but instead stands as a contrast to the other aspects of the liturgy. In the space which silence allows, our individual actions are united by the work of the Holy Spirit to form group actions, thus emphasizing the need for both liturgical action and leaving space for the uniting work of the Spirit in worship.
Green Light Ethics
Authors: Liberto Hallie 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This book is about permissive consent—the moral tool we use to give another person permission to do what would otherwise be forbidden. For instance, consent to enter my home gives you permission to do what would otherwise be trespass. This transformation is the very thing that philosophers identify as consent—which is why we call it a normative power. It is something individuals can do, by choice, to change the moral or legal world. But what human acts or attitudes render consent? When do coercive threats, offers, or lies undermine the transformative power of consent? What intentions or conventions are necessary to render consent meaningful? This book develops a novel theory that explains the moral features of consent in some of the most central domains of human life—but that also serves as a study in how to theorize normative power. It argues that consent is a moral mechanism with exactly the set of features that, when triggered, prevents another person’s behavior from constituting a certain kind of wrongdoing. What kind of wrongdoing? It depends on what sort of permission is being granted. Sometimes consent permits others to enter, occupy, or act within some bounded domain wherein the consent-giver holds moral authority. In these cases, consent operates to prevent what I call invasive wrongdoing. By identifying the moral features that underlie this special wrongdoing, we can learn what it takes to render consent.
Introduction
Authors: Tahzib Collis 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis Introduction sets up the debate between anti-perfectionist liberalism and perfectionism and explains why this debate is of practical and theoretical importance. It then goes on to explain the two main features that distinguish the author’s view from other forms of perfectionism in the contemporary literature: first, this view treats perfectionism as an integral component of justice and not merely as a legitimate complement to justice; and second, this view is developed within the sort of Rawlsian methodological framework that has traditionally been seen as inhospitable to perfectionism. The Introduction concludes by providing a preview of the chapters to follow.
Arete and the Odyssey's Poetics of Interrogation
Authors: Arft Justin 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Arete and the Odyssey’s Poetics of Interrogation explores how the enigmatic Phaeacian queen, Arete, is at the heart of an epic-scale “poetics of interrogation” used throughout the Odyssey to negotiate Odysseus’ kleos (epic renown). Arete’s interrogation of Odysseus has been especially problematic in scholarship, but diachronic and synchronic analysis of similar interrogations across Indo-European, Orphic, and Greek epigrammatic corpora shows that the “stranger’s interrogation” is a formula that demands performance and negotiation of status. Within the Odyssey, this interrogation is part of an intraformular network used to generate kleos, and the queen’s question initiates the longest and most complex negotiation of Odysseus’ status in epic and memory. Arete’s role as interrogator not only explains her strange authority and resonance with both Penelope and comparative afterlife figures, but also establishes a gendered, agonistic tension between her and her husband Alkinoos that influences the structure, genre, and narratology of performances across the Phaeacian episode. This book reinterprets the Odyssey’s central episode and challenges several assumptions about Nausikaa and Alkinoos’ famed hospitality, even demonstrating how the Apologue is organized as a response to competing inquiries into Odysseus’ fundamental status in tradition. The Odyssey ultimately navigates away from Odysseus’ public reputation and roots his status in private memories, and Arete’s carefully arranged interventions signal the larger process by which the Odyssey immortalizes Odysseus in poetry as a nostos hero. The queen and her question invite new applications of oral poetics that shed light on the structure, composition, and reperformance of the Odyssey.
The Stranger’s Interrogation
Authors: Arft Justin 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Chapter 1 offers a diachronic examination of the formulaic “stranger’s interrogation” and its form and use across archaic Indo-European sources, including the Mahābhārata, Gāthās, Greek funerary inscriptions, the “Orphic” lamellae (or “gold leaves”), the Iliad, and the Homeric Hymns. Conceived as an Indo-European formula, the stranger’s interrogation demands a performance of one’s fundamental status on the eve of a potentially dangerous transformation. In ritual and narrative it affects power dynamics between parties and requires a declaration of one’s worth, which in Greek context is expressed as kleos. This analysis brings together disparate scholarly conversations on Homer, Indo-European linguistics, Orphic traditions, and Greek epigrams and then challenges several assumptions about what the stranger’s interrogation means in these contexts.
Continuous linear functionals
Authors: Kantorovitz Shmuel , Viselter Ami 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this chapter we shall obtain the general form of continuous linear functionals on some of the normed spaces we have encountered, as for Hilbert spaces in the “Little” Riesz representation theorem in Chapter 1. We prove two major representation theorems. The first describes the continuous linear functionals on the Lp-spaces, and the second, called the Riesz representation theorem, describes the continuous linear functionals on C0(X), the space of continuous complex-valued functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space X that vanish at infinity. We also construct the Haar measure on a locally compact topological group G, which is the (essentially unique) left translation invariant positive measure on G. Finally, the chapter offer exercises to challenge the reader.
Constructions of C*-algebras
Authors: Kantorovitz Shmuel , Viselter Ami 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this chapter we give two examples of constructions of C*-algebras, namely, tensor products of C*-algebras and group C*-algebras. The first is the C*-algebraic analogue of the tensor product of algebras, but difficulty arises as it turns out that there is no unique way to tensor two C*-algebras. Two such ways are singled out: the minimal and the maximal tensor products. The second construction produces a C*-algebra from a locally compact topological group and is the C*-algebraic analogue of the complex group algebras of discrete groups. Both constructions are fundamental and prevalent in C*-algebra theory. Finally, the chapter offer exercises to challenge the reader.
Where Macroeconomic Theory Went Wrong
Authors: Beenstock Michael 
Published: September 2022

AbstractNeo-Wicksellian macroeconomic theorists have misunderstood Wicksell’s natural rate of interest, which refers to the return on fixed assets. They have also misunderstood that the natural rate of interest is not an equilibrium phenomenon. The natural rate of interest, overlooked in canonical New Keynesian and DSGE models, is reinstated here in the influential New Keynesian model. Whereas in the New Keynesian model there is an output gap and an inflation gap, in the reinstated model there is also an interest rate gap (the difference between the natural rate of interest and the real rate of interest). Whereas according to the New Keynesian model, if output and inflation are on target (the so-called divine coincidence), the interest rate gap must be zero, matters are different in the reinstated model. This theoretical flaw has been instrumental in the widespread international adoption of the New Abnormal. Key theoretical concepts are introduced, which are used throughout this study, including liqidity trap theory, existential risk and the difference between absolute and relative interest parity theory.
Fertility Decline in the New Abnormal?
Authors: Beenstock Michael 
Published: September 2022

AbstractFertility had been decreasing in OECD countries well ahead of the New Abnormal. However, fertility decline intensified in Japan after ZIP was adopted in 1996. Could this have anything to do with the New Abnormal? Just as business investment suffered during the New Abnormal, perhaps parents, like investors, are fearful of the future, and are reluctant to have children. The “quality–quantity theory of fertility” predicts that ZIP, growing debt-to-GDP ratios, and existential risk reduce fertility. Since changes in fertility are slow to occur, Japan provides the main opportunity to study the relationship between fertility and the New Abnormal. Since fertility decline was pronounced in, for example, Italy and South Korea, it is difficult to reach clear conclusions. At the very least, it cannot be ruled out that the steep decline in fertility in Japan is related to its deep involvement in the New Abnormal.
Covid-19 and the New Abnormal
Authors: Beenstock Michael 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe New Abnormal set the scene for an activist mitigation policy because its key features, cheap money and loose fiscal policy, were extended during the Covid-19 crisis. A Rawlsian case is made for justifying the deficit financing of Covid-19 mitigation policy. Pandemics cannot be insured within generations, but they may be insured between generations. Future g enerations have an interest in sharing the risk of pandemics with generations born before and after them. The economic cost of mitigation has been out of all proportion to the benefit in terms of life years saved. The cost per life year saved in Israel during the first wave of Covid-19 was $46,000, which is cheaper than a comparable estimate for the UK (£180,000). These estimates are vastly larger than health economists’ estimates of the value of life. The prospects of ending the New Abnormal after 2020 were much slimmer than they were in 2019.
The Return to Normality: Ending the New Abnormal
Authors: Beenstock Michael 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe development of cryptocurrencies is inextricably intertwined with the New Abnormal. Investors hedge existential risk by holding cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency enhances macroeconomic price flexibility because its price is more flexible than the general price level. If cryptocurrency eventually replaces fiat money, macroeconomic theory will have to be reconstructed. Ending ZIP raises the cost of debt service. If the rate of interest is less than the rate of growth of nominal GDP, the debt-to-GDP ratio stabilizes at a higher level. If it exceeds the rate of growth of nominal GDP, the debt-to-GDP ratio explodes. In the explosive case, it is necessary to run fiscal surpluses to stabilize debt-to-GDP ratios. In the stable case, it is necessary to cut primary fiscal deficits to stabilize debt-to-GDP ratios at levels that are politically feasible. Japan and eurozone countries are likely to crash out of the New Abnormal. The US runs the risk of crashing out. Economies recover more rapidly from natural disasters such as Covid-19 than man-made disasters, such as the Subprime Crisis.
Designs on Democracy
Authors: Shasore Neal 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Designs on Democracy examines a pivotal period in the formation of the modern profession of architecture in Britain. It shows how architects sought to meet the newly articulated demands of a mass democracy in the wake of the First World War. It does so by providing a vivid picture of architectural culture in interwar London, the imperial metropolis, drawing on histories of design, practice, professionalism, and representation. Most accounts of this period tend to deal exclusively with the emergence of Modernism; this book takes a different approach, encompassing a much broader perspective on the liberal professional consensus that held sway, including architecture’s mainstream and its so-called avant-garde. Readers will encounter a number of unexpected narratives, episodes, and projects: from the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley to the rebuilding of Waterloo Bridge; from the impact of the Great Slump to the passing of the first Architects Registration Act (1931); from Trystan Edwards’s radical housing campaigns to the Londoners’ League’s unorthodox preservationism. Pulling in a range of evidence and sources—periodicals, exhibitions, photographs, and films, alongside architecture—it evokes architectural culture by listening carefully to the tenor of its discourse. Architecture’s public realm is thus analysed through sometimes surprising phrases: ‘manners’ to understand ideals of public propriety, ‘vigilance’ to explore public proprietorship, ‘slump’ to contextualize the emergence of public relations, ‘machine-craft’ to understand the forging of public institutions. The book spans the excitable discussions about the reconstruction of the profession for a democratic age after the First World War, to reconstruction and planning following the Second. Designs on Democracy provides an ambitious revision of how we can understand twentieth-century architecture in Britain.
Machine-Craft
Authors: Shasore Neal 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter provides a new reading of 66 Portland Place, the purpose-built headquarters of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) opened in 1934. It uses the building—its design, construction, and programme—to explore the forging of the RIBA as a modern, semi-public institution. Drawing together the themes of the first two chapters, it situates the building within the ‘DIA point of view’. To do so, it explores the concept of ‘machine-craft’, a term coined by the journalist and public relations expert John Gloag and a seemingly oxymoronic welding of words which captured an aspiration to marry handcraft and the artistic expression of the craftsman with a technical and economic understanding of the role of the (sometimes metaphorical) machine in manufacture, commerce, and public service. To elucidate the architecture of 66 Portland Place and the Institute that occupied it, the chapter looks at the creation of the Building Centre (in which a number of RIBA protagonists, including Grey Wornum, were engaged), and at one of the inaugural exhibitions at Portland Place—‘Everyday Things’ (1936)—which clearly expressed the RIBA’s commitment to design reform principles.
The Challenge to the Auspices
Authors: Konrad C. F. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The Challenge to the Auspices is an investigation into the interaction of Roman magistrates during the Middle Republic with the practice of auspices, with a focus on attempts to avoid, ignore, or resist this requirement, and on the consequences of such attempts. Proceeding from an examination of the Roman concepts of imperium and auspices (auspicia), especially as they relate to the realm of war, and of the constitutional position and powers of the Dictator and the Master of the Horse (magister equitum) relative to each other and to the Consuls and lower magistrates, the work presents six case studies in the fourth and third centuries bc in which Roman commanders questioned, violated, or openly rejected the need for auspices. It is argued that these instances reflect a not insignificant minority view within the Roman ruling class, the nobility, regarding the efficacy of auspices and the necessity and desirability of observing them. The catastrophic outcome in several of these events, particularly during the early years of the Second Punic War, rendered further resistance to the practice politically unsustainable, and by the second century resulted in its universal acceptance, regardless of personal belief.
