ROSENBERG, J., Critical Enthusiasm. Capital Accumulation and the Transformation of Religious Passion. Oxford University Press, 2011. 240p. Hardback. This book is a challenging reassessment of the problem of enthusiasm. Rather than understanding the term as a throwback to a pre-enlightenment past or a persistence of religious thinking, Critical Enthusiasm offers a brilliantly dialectical analysis of the role the term has played in mediating the transformation to modernity and the emergence of capitalist forms of social being.

CRITICAL ESSAYS ON ROMAN LITERATURE. ELEGY AND LYRIC. Edited and with an Introduction by J.P. Sullivan. Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1969. 3rd impr. V,225p. Cloth wrps. Nice copy. Contents: J.P.

'As propaganda, the book is studiously mild, but it will probably be the more effective. Anybody who has tried to interest students in the critical reading of Latin poetry (as opposed to - hideously familiar phrase - 'doing'it), knows how difficult it can be to get them to trust their judgement, to react in a positive way, to enjoy. These essays, by suggesting approaches and providing topics and starting-points for discussion, should help to elicit a response from a student who is prepared to make an effort and realizes that literary criticism is an active, not a passive, process. It is a book to be grateful for.' (E.J. KENNEY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1963, p.299). € 25.00 (Antiquarian)

NIINILUOTO, I., Critical Scientific Realism. Oxford University Press, 1999. 356p. Hardback. Series: Clarendon Library of Logic and Philosophy.
