Beyond the Barriers
Authors: Veth Peter , McDonald Jo , Hiscock Peter 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This article re-envisages the human settlement of Australia’s deserts. It makes a case for their early occupation at the continental scale (a) by c. 60 ka; (b) during an early wet phase; (c) with rapid expansion of people; (d) relying on water features; and (e) showing changes through time in response to changing regional conditions. It is now well established that Australia’s deserts are as diverse as they are extensive and that ‘behavioural dynamism’ provides a better explanatory framework for arid zone social organization than ‘cultural conservatism’. Conceptual building blocks to explain desert settlement have included the process of human biogeography, the role of cryptic refugia in providing wide-scale foraging networks, and shifts in mobility in response to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and other climatic events. The models which have emphasized different characteristics and scales of change in desert societies include peoples’ responses to ‘glacial refugia’, ‘desert transformations’, ‘water distribution’, and ‘cryptic refugia’. The article synthesizes new archaeological results and climate data from key sites across Australia’s deserts. The authors propose a new model for the settlement of Australia’s arid zone based on new climatic and archaeological data and finer-grained ecological and social approaches.
Spinoza’s Failed Rhetoric of a Supposedly Inconspicuous Transition to Secularity
Authors: Beiner Ronald 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to trace rhetorical misjudgments in Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise. For instance, Spinoza’s revelation in Letter 30 (written to Henry Oldenburg) that one of the things motivating him to write the Theological-Political Treatise was setting to rest popular conceptions of him as an atheist suggests that his efforts to blunt or muffle the radicalness of his challenges to conventional religion were rhetorically much less effective than he may have hoped. He deploys “devices of prudence” such as conventional images of God, revelation, and prophecy that he knows to be sub-philosophical, but seems to underestimate the capacity of his readers to see through these devices. But it is not my view that such rhetorical misjudgments (if that is what they were) were a bad thing. On the contrary, this chapter suggests that Spinoza’s overestimation of the efficacy of his prudential devices, and corresponding underestimation of how readers would react to his work, made it possible for him (whether he intended it or not) to deliver a truly radical work that contributed decisively to the origins of the Enlightenment. Would he have done this if he had more correctly judged the rhetorical impact?
Denazification
Authors: Gross Daniel M. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter takes up the challenge that emotional rhetoric is inappropriate to politics. The first move of the argument is genealogical, as it revisits a postwar concern about emotional rhetoric summarized under “denazification.” Then, the dominant philosophical rejoinders represented by Jürgen Habermas and Martha Nussbaum (following Rawls) are contrasted with a different rhetorical tradition available under “political pathology,” which indexes the basic rhetorical structure of politics beyond techniques for rabble-rousing. Finally, the recent “affective turn” proper, along with a variety of philosophical projects meant to tame emotion for political purposes, is briefly sketched through this alternative rhetorical tradition in order to demonstrate what sort of new analytic possibilities thereby become available.
Giving Voice to Spectralism in the Music of Donnacha Dennehy
Authors: Grimes Nicole 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses the music of Donnacha Dennehy in terms of Irish identity and spectralism. It discusses how aspects of spectralism helped adopt the voice of Iarla Ó Lionáird and the sean-nós song tradition in Grá agus Bás and The Hunger, invoking Julia Kristeva’s discussion of the “mother tongue” and Roland Barthe’s “grain of the voice.” It also discusses the political and ethical dimensions of works including The Dark Places, and That the Night Come. It closes with a discussion of how Tesselatum reflects the distinctive and changing light in the Irish landscape. These works each integrate spectral elements with aspects of Irish identity.
Liminality and the Voice in the Works of Peter Ablinger
Authors: Flore Rebecca 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter expands on the discourse on spectral music’s concern with liminality, focusing on sound artist Peter Ablinger’s use of recorded speech as compositional object. Following an expository section that situates Quadraturen and Voices and Piano within the (post-)spectral lineage, this chapter splits into two main sections, each dealing with a different kind of liminality. In the first of these the chapter concentrates on the line between speech and music, highlighting some perceptual characteristics of each category and then exploring the ways in which they are blended in each of Ablinger’s works individually. The chapter then shifts its focus to a more conceptual kind of liminality, focusing on the technologically mediated voice’s subjectivity and object-ness—issues stemming from the voice’s divorce from its original body and its reconfiguration in these new musical contexts.
Ezekiel and Politics
Authors: Nevader Madhavi 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Already set in the Babylonian exile, the book of Ezekiel functions above all as an unremitting justification for the present and a radical vision for the future of YHWH and the nation, Israel. Politics plays an integral role in this theological project. Reflecting at length on the nation’s political past, present, and future, Ezekiel conforms on one level to a traditional pattern of royal condemnation turn royal restoration common to many texts in our prophetic corpus. On another, the book displays a profound agnosticism regarding the theological function and future of human kingship, pitting YHWH’s claims of divine sovereignty against all iterations of human rule. The book’s ongoing use and subversion of political language, as well as its sustained interest in manifestation of royal rule, suggests that its theological revisionism takes in the very nature of political rule itself. As such, the book, especially its final Temple Vision (Ezek 40–48), may contribute to ongoing discussions of political theology and political theory in the Hebrew Bible.
Ezekiel and the Priestly Traditions
Authors: Cook Stephen L. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Ezekiel’s book interacts with several Israelite priestly traditions. It draws, as well, on literary presentations of priestly and quasi-priestly activity. It relies particularly on the traditions of a Jerusalem priesthood known as the Zadokites but is also in conversation with the thinking and theology of other key priestly lineages, specifically Aaronides and Levites. The overview begins by outlining the major priestly tradition complexes with which Ezekiel’s book dialogs: that found in E, Hosea, Deuteronomy, and Jeremiah; that found in the Priestly Torah material (PT) and the latter sections of Isaiah; and that found in the Holiness Stratum (HS) material and in Ezekiel itself. The essay then turns to specific examples of how Ezekiel’s book relates to preceding priestly tradition. The book models its presentation of the prophet and his actions based on priestly traits of Elijah and Elisha in the Deuteronomistic History. It has its own Zadokite emphas Cook, Stephen L. “Chapter 1 holiness as a life-force, a perspective comparable to that in the Elijah and Elisha legends. So too, Ezekiel has its own perspective on the centrality of YHWH’s land in covenantal dynamics, a perspective differing from that of other priesthoods. Further, in contrast to alternative priestly positions, Ezekiel maintains a view of God’s holiness permeating God’s land. Finally, while the Aaronide theology of PT and Isaiah emphasizes God’s promises to the ancestors, Ezekiel, like Deuteronomy, downplays the ancestral traditions.
Hume, Republicanism, and Relations to Posterity
Authors: O’Neill John , Salter John 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Hume has a significant place in recent debates on the nature and extent of intergenerational justice. His claims about the circumstances of justice are taken to show that obligations to future generations cannot be obligations of justice: Non-reciprocity entails that the circumstances of justice described by Hume do not obtain across generations. In this chapter, the authors defend three claims. First, the authors argue that the readings of Hume’s texts that inform this view of Hume’s account of relations to future generations are mistaken. Second, the prevalence of this misreading of Hume’s theory is grounded in a failure to understand the practical and theoretical context of his account of relations to future generations, which is different from that which informs contemporary discussion of future generations. Third, the republican framing of relations and obligations to future generations which forms the background to Hume’s work offers a neglected perspective which warrants renewed consideration.
On Anscombe on Practical Knowledge and Practical Truth
Authors: Campbell Lucy 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
A central notion in Anscombe’s philosophy of action is that of practical knowledge, the formally distinctive knowledge a person has of what she is intentionally doing. Anscombe also discusses ‘practical truth’, an idea she borrows from Aristotle, and which on her interpretation is a kind of truth whose bearer is not thought or language, but action. What is the relationship between practical knowledge and practical truth? What we might call the Simple View of this relationship holds that practical knowledge is essentially and in all cases knowledge of practical truth. But the Simple View isn’t obviously available, since we have practical knowledge of all of our intentional actions, whereas an action manifests practical truth in Aristotle’s sense only if it is a case of doing or living well. The chapter suggests that we distinguish a thicker ethical version and a thinner purely action-theoretical version of each notion. This allows us to maintain a—complex—version of the Simple View, on which practical knowledge in the thick ethical sense is knowledge of practical truth in the thick ethical sense, and practical knowledge in the thin action-theoretical sense is knowledge of practical truth in the thin action-theoretical sense. Although Anscombe did not make these distinctions explicitly, the chapter argues that she nevertheless commits herself to them in her discussion.
Anscombe’s Three Theses after Sixty Years
Authors: Chappell Sophie Grace 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Anscombe begins her 1958 polemic ‘Modern Moral Philosophy’ (MMP) by presenting three theses: (MMP1) We should stop doing moral philosophy, ‘at any rate until we have an adequate philosophy of psychology, in which we are conspicuously lacking’; (MMP2) We ought, ‘if this is psychologically possible’, to jettison the concepts of moral obligation, moral duty, the morally right, the morally wrong, and the moral ought; and (MMP3) ‘The differences between the well-known English writers on moral philosophy from Sidgwick to the present day are of little importance’. My question in this essay is how MMP1–3 have held up in the sixty years since Anscombe published ‘Modern Moral Philosophy’. One upshot will be exegetical: it is MMP3 that bears the main emphasis in MMP. So in this discussion MMP3 will come first and get the lion’s share of space; I won’t even get to MMP1 and MMP2 till section 5.7. Contrary to what is probably the majority reading of MMP, I see MMP1 and MMP2 as little more than auxiliary theses, and MMP3 as—to echo the essay’s very last sentence—her main complaint. The main upshot of my enquiry will be an answer to the question how MMP1–3 have held up since 1958. My answer will be that they have held up remarkably well.
Anscombe on Euthanasia as Murder
Authors: Jones David Albert 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Anscombe asserted that murder ought to be prohibited absolutely and that voluntary euthanasia falls within the ‘core of the concept’ of murder. On this basis she argued that voluntary euthanasia ought to be prohibited absolutely. The argument as stated is valid. However, the first premise is difficult to demonstrate and the second is doubtful. Voluntary euthanasia lacks key elements of the paradigm case of murder and seems to lie on the border between murder and assisting suicide. Nevertheless, there are good reasons to prohibit the encouragement of suicide and good reasons to believe that acceptance of voluntary euthanasia implies acceptance of some cases of non-voluntary euthanasia. Hence, Anscombe’s argument is justified, though via a less direct route. Legalising voluntary euthanasia leads, both logically and in practice, to murder, in the sense of killing people without their request or consent, and this is a good reason to maintain its prohibition.
Intention in Action
Authors: Capps Charles F. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Elizabeth Anscombe opens her book Intention by distinguishing three divisions of her topic: (1) expressions of intention for the future, (2) intentional action, and (3) intention in action. Uncovering the unity of her three divisions has become a central concern of contemporary theories of action. The standard approach is to treat intention for the future as fundamental. The dominant minority approach is to treat intentional action as fundamental. Developing themes in Anscombe’s own work, this chapter argues that the relatively neglected alternative of treating intention in action as fundamental has considerable merit and deserves more attention than it has received to date.
Anscombe and Aquinas
Authors: Haldane John 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
There has been a growing sense of Anscombe’s indebtedness to Aquinas, though the specifics and extent of that debt have remained unclear for three reasons. First, because of general unfamiliarity with Aquinas’s writings. Second, because of ignorance about important aspects of Anscombe’s intellectual biography and writings. Third, because of her inexplicitness, particularly in works intended for academic readers, regarding his influence on her thought. This chapter charts her engagement with and use of the thought of Aquinas from her days as a student to her last writings, cataloguing her direct and indirect references to his work and assessing the extent to which she was in broad agreement with or dissented from his positions on major philosophical issues.
Anscombe and Wittgenstein on Knowledge ‘without Observation’
Authors: Teichman Harold 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter, which is purely exegetical, suggests that close attention to the legacy of Anscombe’s mentor Wittgenstein can shed some unaccustomed light both on the idiosyncratic form of enquiry in her book Intention and on some of the particular conclusions found in that book. Section 22.2 points to a methodological parallel between Wittgenstein’s post-1945 investigations into the nature of everyday psychological concepts and Anscombe’s treatment of the concept of intention. In section 22.3, the Wittgensteinian provenance of Anscombe’s logical category ‘knowledge without observation’ is exhibited, and her extension of what falls under this form of knowledge (from Wittgenstein’s case of knowing the arrangement of one’s limbs, to matters concerning intention as well) is outlined. This extension will require a twist in how the intentional form of such knowledge is regarded as corrigible. Finally, section 22.4 identifies the odd form of knowledge just explicated with ‘practical knowledge’ as Anscombe sees it, and tries to show that some puzzles revolving around her invocation of Theophrastus’s principle and Aquinas’s view of the causal power of practical knowledge may be resolved thereby.
Intention, Knowledge, and Responsibility
Authors: Clot-Goudard Rémi 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
To what extent can an agent be held responsible for what he does? According to Aristotle, we are answerable for our voluntary actions, the ‘voluntary’ being ‘[1] that of which the origin is in oneself, [2] when one knows the particular factors that constitute the location of action’. This question, which was of paramount importance for Anscombe, led her to focus on the second, epistemic condition of responsibility. This chapter suggests that in fact, a large part of her philosophy of action can be read as an effort to build a complex and subtle answer to the question what kind of knowledge an agent must have of his own action in order for him to be accountable for it (and/or for all or some of its consequences). In Intention, Anscombe shows that for his action to be intentional under some description, an agent must have a practical knowledge of it under this very description; that is why ignorance can sometimes be put forward as a ground for exoneration. But ignorance can also be blameworthy, when the agent could and should have known what he is ignorant of. Elucidating the possibility of voluntary ignorance brings into light a fundamental obligation to know which takes its meaning from, and has its roots in, Anscombe’s Thomist background.
A History of Social Communication in East-Central Europe
Authors: Adamska Anna 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses the various forms of social communication and symbolism that framed the meanings of the spoken word, letters, and images in medieval East Central Europe. Focusing on elements of non-verbal communication, it examines the diverse communication capacities of particular regional groups, as well as the varying expectations in the region’s socio-cultural interactions. It is important not to put writing in radical opposition to oral and non-verbal communication; visual communication, for instance, combines crucial elements of these non-written forms by turning the sounds of the spoken word into a negotiated system of graphical signs. The ongoing investigation of the development of literacy in East Central Europe allows the conclusion that, despite some chronological delays, the implementation of writing in the region had a dynamic similar to that in many other parts of Europe. From the thirteenth century onwards, one can see both an apparent democratization and individualization in making, using, and keeping records in the ever-widening spectrum of pragmatic literacy, especially in urban environments.
Art and Architecture in Medieval East Central Europe
Authors: Zsolt Szakács Béla , Opačić Zoë 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter presents a cross-cultural analysis of the non-verbal language of medieval East Central Europe’s art. It provides entangled examples of artistic patronage across diverse genres, as well as how visual strategies, technical achievements, and stylistic developments were affected by historical change. East Central Europe has been often discussed as a historical region, but its common narrative as an art historical region has not yet been established. In fact, the region is simply missing from the map of European art in studies of the Romanesque period. This may have resulted, at least in part, from the fragmentary nature of the evidence, language barriers, and political differences, but recently a number of projects have attempted to harmonize research efforts across the area, especially for the Carolingian period. The chapter then looks at the flourishing of Romanesque art and architecture, as well as the Gothic style and royal residences, castles, and courts.
Contexts of Late Medieval Daily Life
Authors: Jaritz Gerhard 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter examines Central Europe’s material culture and its reception, focusing on some rarely studied daily practices such as drinking beer, or visiting a religious house, but also topics that have only recently started to attract scholarly attention, among them the attitudes of the region’s societies towards food consumption and management of health and disease. From the thirteenth century onwards, Central Europe was intensively influenced from the West, by more than just the chivalrous ideals and models of the elites. This can also be seen in elements of the daily life and material culture of other groups in society and led to a kind of “normalization” of European dress and food culture which remained socially determined but decreased with regard to “national” and regional differences, although the latter remained to some extent and showed no sign of general disappearance. All societies adopt and reject foreign elements, with the members of each society constantly assessing their own daily life and material culture, particularly such public elements as outer appearance, feasts, architecture, and language. Medieval Central Europe was no exception.
Monasticism in Medieval Central Europe (c. 800–c. 1550)
Authors: de Cevins Marie-Madeleine , Derwich Marek , Romhányi Beatrix 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter assesses monasticism in medieval Central Europe. Noting the differences in the density of the monasteries in Central Europe and the European West, as well as a somewhat belated appearance of these communities compared to the European medieval West, it depicts a special diversity patterned by monastic foundations and “Western” models in the organization of monasteries’ structures. The chapter also notes some important links deriving from the proximity of Oriental Christianity, especially apparent in the monastic landscape of medieval Hungary. The common features of Central European monasticism were strengthened by interactions among the monks, regular canons and friars of the area, who often belonged to the same regular districts and studied at the same universities. Nevertheless, each country had its own specificities.
The Image of East Central Europe in Medieval European Literature
Authors: Seláf Levente 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This chapter addresses stereotypes by which the local population of medieval East Central Europe was described in the medieval West and their image reshaped over centuries by diverse Western influences, especially highlighting perceptions of the Slavs. The diversity of examples illustrates that there was no constant image of the region in Western literature. Various images and narrative functions wandered from one text and genre to another, which shows the complicated structure of intertextuality in medieval literature. This system was not static. After a long period when the lack of information about the region was compensated for by stereotypes and distinct ways of “orientalizing” by association, a growing number of personal encounters helped Western writers develop a more diversified vision of the region. Although these more nuanced representations still operate with stereotypes, by the late Middle Ages Western literature seems to have emancipated East Central Europe, which was increasingly portrayed as a land of highly mobile outstanding warriors and attractive princesses who played greater roles in fictitious political events, not unlike Eastern Europe’s intensifying significance in the affairs of Western kingdoms.
