The Hindu Group: A Southern Surge
Authors: Dahiya Surbhi 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this chapter, the author has examined how an eight-page weekly, started by Triplicane Six, headed by G. Subramania Aiyer, founded in 1878 in Madras, rose up to the heights of earning an elite brand name amongst its readers. Despite its name having religious connotations, The Hindu has long been one of the top forums in the country which upholds India’s fundamental tenet of secularism. Termed as the ‘paper of the bourgeois’ by Jawaharlal Nehru, The Hindu has made its mark on the Indian media industry by striking a balance between social responsibility and the art of doing business and it is a steadily growing organization. The legend whose birth took place owing to the initiative led by a radical social reformer and school teacher G. Subramania Aiyer, who began it as a weekly and converted the same into a daily in 1889. In fact, this objective was the very motivation with which they started this paper in 1878 Madras. As the organization leapt from milestone to milestone, it passed through the hands of many able leaders and a qualified host of editors who contributed in eking out the newspaper’s personality in the Indian media industry. One would witness some major events which changed the course of actions of the group, such as exposing a major scam to welcoming a new leadership. Through pioneering means of product diversification, supplement releases, genre expansion, editorial redesign, and colour printing, The Hindu’s journey towards becoming a challenger of the orthodoxy has been as commercial as social. In catering to the citizens’ right to information by breaking several significant stories about scams and central expenditure, while generating revenues through ad publications, the organization has hit the nail on the head in finding a balance between social responsibility and the art of doing business. Aside from Kasturi and Son’s flagship newspaper The Hindu, the organization’s other publications, such as Business Line, Sportstar, and Frontline, too have managed to dominate the industry in their respective genres. In 2017, the holding company Kasturi and Sons Ltd (KSL) underwent an organizational restructuring, which resulted in a demerger into three subsidiaries—The Hindu Publishing; KSL Digital Ventures Ltd; and KSL Media Ltd. All this, and more, has been examined in great detail, with invaluable nuggets from the organization’s senior most members, N. Ram, N. Murali, and N. Ravi retrieved from an interview conducted by the author. In tracking The Hindu’s lifeline, the chapter examines how a fetal eight-page weekly rose up to the magnificent status of earning an elite brand name amongst its readers.
Introduction
Authors: McWeeny Jennifer , Maitra Keya 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn the introduction to this inaugural collection of essays in feminist philosophy of mind, the editors define the subfield as an area of study that investigates the nature of mind with reference to social locations marked by categories such as gender, race, class, nationality, and ability, and/or investigates the nature of social locations with reference to theories about the mind. The authors identify five core themes of feminist philosophy of mind and trace their development with reference to the respective literatures in feminist philosophy and philosophy of mind. These themes are mind and gender&race&, self and selves, naturalism and normativity, body and mind, and memory and emotion. The introduction also provides an overview of each of the book’s twenty chapters and their contributions to contemporary debates, and includes a comprehensive bibliography of the subfield. Finally, future research trajectories are considered.
Symptoms in Particular
Authors: Radden Jennifer 
Published: September 2022

AbstractContrary to influential medical and cognitivist models governing how mental disorder is usually understood today, the socially embedded, disordered “mind,” or subject, of feminist theory leaves little room for idiopathic causal analyses, with their narrow focus on the brain and its functioning, and reluctant acknowledgment of symptoms. Mental disorder must originate well beyond the particular brain of the person with whom it is associated, feminist analyses imply. Because the voiced distress of the sufferer cannot be reduced to the downstream, “symptomatic” effects of brain dysfunction, symptoms can be seen differently, as central to the diagnostic identity, and constitutive of (at least some) disorders. And new attention is required for the testimony of women diagnosed with mental disorder, vulnerable as it is to epistemic injustices. Corrected explanations of women’s mental disorder leave remaining concerns, both epistemological and ethical, over the madwoman narrating her symptoms.
Why Feminists Should Be Materialists and Vice Versa
Authors: Droege Paula 
Published: September 2022

AbstractFeminism and materialism offer disciplinary resources that would be more effective in cooperation than isolation. From a dynamic, interdisciplinary materialism, feminists gain an understanding of the physical forces that contribute to our beliefs and values. In contrast to accounts that reduce all of causation to the law-based interactions described by physics, feminist materialists posit agency as a capacity to transform material conditions in order to survive in a changing world. The recognition of action at multiple levels of explanation offers feminists a range of potential interventions in pursuit of social change. Likewise, materialists gain from feminism an array of epistemic and ethical tools for examining the obstacles to interdisciplinary collaboration and faulty assumptions that misdirect research. Feminism opens materialists to alternative methodologies and perspectives necessary to the investigation of the nature of the mind.
Does Neutral Monism Provide the Best Framework for Relational Memory?
Authors: Apostolova Iva 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis chapter embraces Sue Campbell’s argument in favor of a relational as opposed to archival model of memory. The relational model is approached from the point of view of its most serious threat, known as “semantic contagion” or the formation of false memories. The chapter identifies neutral monism, and specifically Bertrand Russell’s version of it, as the best epistemological and metaphysical framework that not only supports the relational model of memory but also offers a potential solution to the problem of false memories. A part of the neutral monist agenda is to eliminate such persistent forms of dualism as the mind-body, subject-object, or knowledge-experience dualisms, something which resonates with the relational model of memory. In addition, Russell’s neutral monist theory of memory offers insight into what we consider to be the distinction between genuine and false memories.
The Odd Case of a Bird-Mother
Authors: Dalmiya Vrinda 
Published: September 2022

AbstractUsing a minor episode from the Sanskrit epic the Mahabharata, this chapter draws out the complex possibilities in the subject position of a bereaved mother. It argues for a “method of grief” as the epistemic means of registering selfhood that also establishes its nature as a “feeling thing.” Experiencing extreme forms of being out of control, the bereaved mother’s selfhood emerges from a pervasive self-mistrust which then goes on to ground the certainty/acceptance of herself as dispositionally open to being undone. Such subjectivity is relational, embodied, and opaque to itself in spite of its givenness. The resulting metaphysical and epistemic vulnerability of the self is then shown to have consequences for a feminist critique of the virtue of forgiveness. The chapter ends by articulating a form of political agency fueled by uncertainty and hope that is empowering for the deeply relational selves of care ethics.
A Perfectionist Theory of Justice
Authors: Tahzib Collis 
Published: September 2022

AbstractMany liberal political philosophers hold that the state should not impose or even promote any particular conception of the good life or human flourishing. Instead, the state should restrict itself to maintaining a fair framework of rights and opportunities within which all citizens can pursue their own ideas about the good life. Against this backdrop, this book defends a perfectionist political philosophy. Whereas previous perfectionists have argued that the promotion of flourishing ways of life is permissible or legitimate, the author casts perfectionism as a doctrine of justice. On this view, the implementation of laws and policies designed to promote sound ideals of the good life — ideals such as moral, intellectual and artistic excellence — is not merely a legitimate complement to justice but an essential constituent of justice. Over the years, liberals have criticized perfectionism on various fronts: that it relies on value judgements that are controversial within modern pluralistic societies; that it is unduly restrictive of freedom and autonomy; that it treats citizens as if they are unable to run their own lives; that it expresses the meddlesome mentality of a village busybody; that it mistakenly assumes that there are objective truths about human flourishing; and that it risks the abuse of power by incompetent, overzealous or corrupt state officials. These ideas represent some of the deepest, most vibrant and most powerful strains in liberal thought. In defending perfectionism against these charges, the author’s arguments make a novel contribution to longstanding debates about the philosophical foundations of liberalism.
Political Liberalism
Authors: Tahzib Collis 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis chapter outlines the main features of political liberalism and explains why it is thought to have quite strongly anti-perfectionist implications. The discussion is organized around the following argument for anti-perfectionism commonly given by political liberals: reasonable citizens disagree in their judgements about what constitutes a good life (often called ‘the fact of reasonable pluralism’); state action must be acceptable or justifiable to all reasonable citizens (often called ‘the public justification principle’); therefore, state action must not be premised on judgements about what constitutes a good life. This chapter also explores several of the rationales that political liberals have given for the public justification principle, namely equal respect, stability and the reactive attitudes.
A Perfectionist Conception of Society
Authors: Tahzib Collis 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis chapter develops and defends a perfectionist conception of society as a fair striving for human flourishing between free and equal citizens. This conception of society serves as the fundamental basis of the author’s perfectionist political theory and as an alternative and competitor to Rawls’s conception of society as a fair system of social cooperation between free and equal citizens. Echoing Rawls’s method of defending his own conception of society, the author argues for the perfectionist conception of society partly on the grounds that it represents a plausible and recognizable interpretation of widely accepted basic beliefs and values implicit in the public political culture of liberal-democratic societies and partly on the grounds that it helps to organize our considered convictions, at all levels of generality, into a state of reflective equilibrium.
Introduction to Modern Analysis
Authors: Kantorovitz Shmuel , Viselter Ami 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Introduction Modern Analysis aims to bring to the reader a comprehensive account from undergraduate subjects in measure theory and basic functional analysis to advanced topics studied in graduate courses. Among the topics we cover are measure theory, basic functional analysis, single operator theory, spectral theory (of bounded and unbounded operators), semigroups of operators, Banach algebras, C*-algebras and their standard constructions, von Neumann algebras, probability and mathematical statistics, and partial differential equations. The book can serve motivated students interested in these areas for self-study, as well as professional researchers as a reference.
Measure and topology
Authors: Kantorovitz Shmuel , Viselter Ami 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this chapter, for a locally compact Hausdorff space X, we attempt to construct a measure space with a “natural” affinity to X. The central result of this chapter is the Riesz–Markov theorem, essentially saying that all positive functionals on Cc(X), the space of compactly supported complex-valued continuous functions on X, arise from positive measures by integration. This allows a simple construction of the Lebesgue measure on Rk. We also prove Lusin’s theorem and discuss differentiability of complex measures. The generalized fundamental theorem of calculus is given in detail as a guided exercise. Finally, the chapter offer exercises to challenge the reader.
Duality
Authors: Kantorovitz Shmuel , Viselter Ami 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
For a normed space or, more generally, a topological vector space X, we study its conjugate space X* consisting of all continuous linear functionals on X. First and foremost is the Hahn–Banach lemma, which is one of the three basic principles of linear functional analysis. It is used to prove the Hahn–Banach theorem on extending continuous linear functionals on linear subspaces, as well as many separation results. We discuss the weak and the weak* topologies. Subsequently we prove the Krein–Milman theorem on extremal points, the Stone–Weierstrass theorem, Marcinkiewicz’s interpolation theorem, and a few fixed-point theorems. We end by introducing the bounded weak* topology and proving the theorems of Dieudonne and Krein–Smulian. Finally, the chapter offer exercises to challenge the reader.
Integral representation
Authors: Kantorovitz Shmuel , Viselter Ami 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter is mostly concerned with integral representations of bounded operators, which are far-reaching generalizations of the spectral theorem for selfadjoint matrices. We prove the classical spectral theorem for normal operators on Hilbert spaces. We then use a renorming method in the general Banach space setting to construct the semi-simplicity space of a bounded operator, on which it admits a continuous operational calculus provided that the Banach space is reflexive. We present the analytic operational calculus for elements of an arbitrary Banach algebra and use it to develop the Riesz–Schauder theory of compact operators. Finally, the chapter offer exercises to challenge the reader.
Unbounded operators
Authors: Kantorovitz Shmuel , Viselter Ami 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this chapter we develop the basic structure theory of unbounded operators, mostly on Hilbert spaces. We cover the following topics: the spectrum and the Hilbert adjoint of operators; the spectral theorem and the operational calculus for unbounded selfadjoint operators; the semi-simplicity space of unbounded operators with real spectrum on Banach spaces; the theory of symmetric (and in particular selfadjoint) extensions of symmetric operators on Hilbert spaces; and quadratic forms. A few long exercises are devoted to the generators of semigroups of operators and to their theory. Finally, the chapter offer exercises to challenge the reader, including the Friedrichs extension theorem.
The New Abnormal
Authors: Beenstock Michael 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe New Normal is a form of political economy, adopted by Japan in 1996 and elsewhere since 2008, in which central banks set their policy rate to zero, finance ministries run large budget deficits, and debt-to-GDP ratios soar. Central banks found a new raison d’ être in quantitative easing, leading to massive expansions in money supply. Nevertheless, inflation remained minimal. The New Normal is very abnormal, hence the New Abnormal. However, the laws of economics have not been suspended. Keynes’ liquidity trap theory explains why expansionary monetary and fiscal policy are not inflationary when the rate of interest is zero. As their debt-to-GDP ratios increase, countries get caught in a debt trap, which impedes the normalization of monetary policy. The unsustainability of the New Abnormal induces existential risk, which depresses investment and perhaps fertility. When the rate of interest eventually becomes positive, countries threaten to crash out of the New Abnormal, generating economic chaos. The thesis in this book is revisionist. Orthodox macroeconomic theory explains the rise of the New Abnormal and how to escape it.
The Japanese Crystal Ball?
Authors: Beenstock Michael 
Published: September 2022

AbstractBecause Japan has been in the New Abnormal since the 1990s, it may serve as a crystal ball for its long-term economic and social consequences. Since the end of the postwar economic miracle in the late 1980s, Japan patched over its need for structural reforms by adopting ZIP in 1996 and then the New Abnormal. The cozy relations between politicians, bureaucrats, and businessmen fostered corruption. After 2000 the Ministry of Finance ran large fiscal deficits to pump-prime the economy, and to pay for the cost of looking after the burgeoning population of pensioners. By 2021, the debt-to-GDP ratio reached 260 percent of GDP. A study by the OECD shows that Japan is caught in an irreversible debt trap. The repeated failure to undertake structural reforms does not result from short-termism in policy making, but from deeply ingrained cultural reasons that are peculiar to Japan.
Topics of Thought
Authors: Berto Francesco 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This book concerns mental states such as thinking that Obama is tall, imagining that there will be a climate change catastrophe, knowing that one is not a brain in a vat, or believing that Martina Navratilova is the greatest tennis player ever. Such states are usually understood as having intentionality, that is, as being about things or situations to which the mind is directed. The contents of such states are often taken to be propositions. The book presents a new framework for the logic of thought, so understood—an answer to the question: Given that one thinks (believes, knows, etc.) something, what else must one think (ditto) as a matter of logic? This should depend on the propositions which make for the contents of the relevant thoughts. And the book defends the idea that propositions should be individuated hyperintensionally, i.e. not just by the sets of worlds at which they are true (as in standard ‘intensional’ possible worlds semantics), but also by what they are about: their topic or subject matter. Thus, the logic of thought should be ‘topic-sensitive’. After the philosophical foundations have been presented in Chapters 1−2, Chapter 3 develops a theory of Topic-Sensitive Intentional Modals (TSIMs): modal operators representing attitude ascriptions, which embed a topicality or subject matter constraint. Subsequent chapters explore applications ranging from mainstream epistemology (dogmatism, scepticism, fallibilism: Chapter 4), to the nature of suppositional thinking and imagination (Chapter 5), conditional belief and belief revision (Chapter 6), framing effects (Chapter 7), probabilities and indicative conditionals (Chapter 8).
The Rise of Mass Advertising
Authors: Rosenberg Anat 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This book is a first cultural legal history of advertising in Britain, tracing the rise of mass advertising circa 1840–1914 and its legal shaping. The emergence of this new system disrupted the perceived foundations of modernity. The idea that culture was organized by identifiable fields of knowledge, experience, and authority came under strain as advertisers claimed to share values with the era’s most prominent fields, including news, art, science, and religiously inflected morality. While cultural boundaries grew blurry, the assumption that the world was becoming progressively disenchanted, itself closely related to concepts of boundaries, was undermined as enchanted experiences multiplied with the transformation of everyday environments by advertising. Non-rational ontologies and a play of mystery became apparent, involving possibilities for metamorphoses, magical efficacy, animated environments, affective connections between humans and things, imaginary worlds and fantasies that informed mundane lifed. These disrupted assumptions that the capitalist economy was a victory of reason. The Rise of Mass Advertising examines how contemporaries came to terms with the disruptive impact by mobilizing legal processes, powers, and concepts. Law was implicated in performing boundary work that preserved the modern sense of field distinctions. Advertising’s cultural meanings and its organization were shaped dialectically vis-à-vis other fields in a process that mainstreamed and legitimized it with legal means, but also construed it as an inferior simulation of the values of a progressive modernity, exhibiting epistemological shortfalls and aesthetic compromises that marked it apart from adjacent fields. The dual treatment meanwhile disavowed the central role of enchantment, in what amounted to a normative enterprise of disenchantment. One of the ironies of this enterprise was that it ultimately drove professional advertisers to embrace enchantment as their peculiar expertise.
Puffery
Authors: Rosenberg Anat 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The dual logic of legitimation and critique of advertising attained a dedicated legal doctrine known as the doctrine of puffery, examined in Chapter 5. Puffery, familiar beyond legal circles from the 1892 case of Carlill v The Carbolic Smoke Ball Company, was and still is usually invoked as a defence argument, by a speaker claiming that their speech was just a puff, for which they cannot be sued. Given the scant literature on the doctrine in Britain, the analysis begins with an account based on primary sources, which shows the doctrine’s roots in the first era of mass advertising. The chapter then examines the doctrine’s role as a legal mode of ridicule, challenging its traditional view as an instance of caveat emptor. In effect, language intended to promote a sale was construed as legally meaningless, on the normative assumption that it was anyway futile and ineffective in the market. The implication was a legal debasement of adverts and a markdown in the cultural capital of advertisers. By licensing advertising and yet treating it as unserious, the doctrine of puffery joined other realms of law in a disavowal of enchantment. Yet, telling consumers that they lacked common sense, or assuming that they were irrational, ignorant, or weak when they responded to adverts, was simply beside the point for those actively seeking transformative miracles in the market.
