ISIDORUS HISPALENSIS, Sententiae. Cura et studio P. Cazier. Brepols, Turnhout, 1998. XCVI,361p. Original terra-cotta gilt titled cloth. A few faint stains on cover. Small sticker glued to paste-down endpaper. Series: Series: Corpus Christianorum Series Latina CXI. Nice copy. Cette édition des Sententiae d'Isidore de Séville est la première à être faite depuis les grandes éditions du XVIIIe siècle. Le nombre des manuscrits repérés dans les bibliothèques médiévales - plus de cinq cents - indique l'importance de cet ouvrage, qui est sans doute la première somme théologique et l'ancêtre du genre sentenciaire du Moyen Age. L'édition tente d'apporter un texte plus conforme à la manière dont elles ont été lues dans les deux siècles qui ont suivi leur rédaction, après une lecture systématique de tous les manuscrits des VIIIe et IXe siècles, même si finalement une dizaine d'entre eux seulement ont été retenus comme les plus représentatifs des différents états du texte. Un nombre notable de modifications ont été ainsi apportées au texte jusqu'ici connu par l'édition de Faustino Arévalo, reprise dans la Patrologie latine de Migne. Outre ce texte établi sur de nouvelles bases, un des apports de la présente édition sera sans doute une modification de la conception que l'on pouvait avoir de la langue d'Isidore, puisqu'une étude linguistique.

ISMAEL, J. T., How Physics Makes Us Free. Oxford University Press, 2016. 288p. Hardback. Jenann Ismael's book is a strikingly original monograph that somehow manages to be perfectly relevant and highly engaging to both the intelligent lay reader and the professional philosopher. It shows how well done philosophy of science can be relevant for the public at large, even when treating questions that have, of late, suffered from the ravages of analytic metaphysics. The book may be more widely read inside the academy than outside, but those on the outside who read it in full will surely come away with a better opinion of philosophy than they had at the start. Ismael's prose is beautiful, evocative, and full of helpful metaphors and analogies ... It is a book that nobody who cares about how human freedom squares with modern physicalism can afford to ignore.

ISMAIL, S., The Rule of Violence: Volume 0, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2018. 240p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Middle East Studies, 50. Over much of its rule, the regime of Hafez al-Asad and his successor Bashar al-Asad deployed violence on a massive scale to maintain its grip on political power. In this book, Salwa Ismail examines the rationalities and mechanisms of governing through violence. In a detailed and compelling account, Ismail shows how the political prison and the massacre, in particular, developed as apparatuses of government, shaping Syrians' political subjectivities, defining their understanding of the terms of rule and structuring their relations and interactions with the regime and with one another. Examining ordinary citizens' everyday life experiences and memories of violence across diverse sites, from the internment camp and the massacre to the family and school, The Rule of Violence demonstrates how practices of violence, both in their routine and spectacular forms, fashioned Syrians' affective life, inciting in them feelings of humiliation and abjection, and infusing their lived environment with dread and horror. This form of rule is revealed to be constraining of citizens' political engagement, while also demanding of their action. (Publisher's information). € 91.02 (New) (MD)
