Waiting for God 'You cannot get far in these essays without sensing yourself in the presence of a writer of immense intellectual power and fierce independence of mind. ' - Janet Soskice from the Introduction to the Routledge Classics edition Simone Weil (1909–1943) is one of the most brilliant and unorthodox religious and philosophical thinkers of the twentieth century. She was also a political activist who worked in the Renault car factory in France in the 1930s and fought briefly as an anarchist in the Spanish Civil War. Hailed by Albert Camus as 'the only great spirit of our times ' her work spans an astonishing variety of subjects from ancient Greek philosophy and Christianity to oppression political freedom and French national identity. Waiting for God is one of her most remarkable books full of piercing spiritual and moral insight. The first part comprises letters she wrote in 1942 to Jean-Marie Perrin a Dominican priest and demonstrate the intense inner conflict Weil experienced as she wrestled with the demands of Christian belief and commitment. She then explores the 'just balance' of the world arguing that we should regard God as providing two forms of guidance: our ability as human beings to think for ourselves; and our need for both physical and emotional 'matter. ' She also argues for the concept of a 'sacred longing'; that humanity's search for beauty both in the world and within each other is driven by our underlying desire for a tangible god.

The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642 Dividing the nation and causing massive political change the English Civil War remains one of the most decisive and dramatic conflicts of English history. Lawrence Stone's account of the factors leading up to the deposition of Charles I in 1642 is widely regarded as a classic in the field. Brilliantly synthesising the historical political and sociological interpretations of the seventeeth century Stone explores theories of revolution and traces the social and economic change that led to this period of instability. The picture that emerges is one where historical interpretation is enriched but not determined by grand theories in the social sciences and as Stone elegantly argues one where the upheavals of the seventeenth century are central to the very story of modernity. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Clare Jackson Trinity Hall Cambridge. | The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642 GBP 16.99 1
Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl Errol John wrote Moon on a Rainbow Shawl (1958) after becoming disillusioned about the lack of good roles for black actors on the British theatre scene. While this situation has only slightly improved since his response has become the most revived black play in Britain from its original production at the Royal Court in 1958 to the National Theatre in 2012. It depicts the lives of a black community living in poverty in a shared tenement yard in Port of Spain Trinidad in the mid-1940s showing how each of the characters carries dreams of escaping to create better lives for themselves and their families. Lynette Goddard focuses on how the play articulates the narratives of migration that prompted many Caribbean people to uproot from their homes on the islands and move to the England in the post-war era. For some of them these dreams of a new life became a reality but they were experienced differently across genders and generations. | Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl GBP 9.99 1

Intimations of Christianity Among the Ancient Greeks Simone Weil (1909–1943) is one of the most brilliant and unorthodox religious and philosophical minds of the twentieth century. She was also a political activist worked in the Renault car factory in France in the 1930s and fought briefly as an anarchist in the Spanish Civil War before her tragic early death in England at the age of thirty-four. Her work spans an astonishing variety of subjects from ancient Greek philosophy and Christianity to oppression political freedom and French national identity. Intimations of Christianity Among the Ancient Greeks sees Weil apply her unique and piercing intellect to early Greek thought where she finds fundamental precursors to Christian religious ideas.

The Bounds of Sense An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason Peter Strawson (1919–2006) was one of the leading British philosophers of his generation and an influential figure in a golden age for British philosophy between 1950 and 1970. The Bounds of Sense is one of the most influential books ever written about Kant’s philosophy and is one of the key philosophical works of the late twentieth century. Whilst probably best known for its criticism of Kant’s transcendental idealism it is also famous for the highly original manner in which Strawson defended and developed some of Kant’s fundamental insights into the nature of subjectivity experience and knowledge – at a time when few philosphers were engaging with Kant’s ideas. The book had a profound effect on the interpretation of Kant’s philosophy when it was first published in 1966 and continues to influence discussion of Kant the soundness of transcendental arguments and debates in epistemology and metaphysics generally.

Textual Patronage in English Drama 1570-1640 Through an investigation of the dedications and addresses from various printed plays of the English Renaissance the author recuperates the richness of these prefaces and connects them to the practice of patronage. The prefatory matter discussed ranges from the printer John Day's address to readers (the first of its kind) in the 1570 edition of Gorboduc to Richard Brome's dedication to William Seymour and address to readers in his 1640 play Antipodes. The study includes discussion of prefaces in plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries as well as Shakespeare himself among them Marston Jonson and Heywood. The author uses these prefaces to show that English playwrights printers and publishers looked in two directions toward aristocrats and toward a reading public in order to secure status for and dissemination of dramatic texts. The author points out that dedications and addresses to readers constitute obvious signs that printers publishers and playwrights in the period increasingly saw these dramatic texts as occupying a rightful place in the humanistic and commercial endeavor of book production. | Textual Patronage in English Drama 1570-1640 GBP 11.99 1
Stone Age Economics Since its first publication over forty years ago Marshall Sahlins's Stone Age Economics has established itself as a classic of modern anthropology and arguably one of the founding works of anthropological economics. Ambitiously tackling the nature of economic life and how to study it comparatively Sahlins radically revises traditional views of the hunter-gatherer and so-called primitive societies revealing them to be the original affluent society. Sahlins examines notions of production distribution and exchange in early communities and examines the link between economics and cultural and social factors. A radical study of tribal economies domestic production for livelihood and of the submission of domestic production to the material and political demands of society at large Stone Age Economics regards the economy as a category of culture rather than behaviour in a class with politics and religion rather than rationality or prudence. Sahlins concludes controversially that the experiences of those living in subsistence economies may actually have been better healthier and more fulfilled than the millions enjoying the affluence and luxury afforded by the economics of modern industrialisation and agriculture. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by David Graeber London School of Economics. GBP 16.99 1
Main Currents in Sociological Thought: Volume 2 Durkheim Pareto Weber This is the second of Raymond Aron's classic two-volume survey of the sociological tradition – arguably the definitive work of its kind. Aron explores the work of three figures who profoundly shaped sociology as it entered the twentieth century: Émile Durkheim who continued Auguste Comte's quest for a science of society and a scientific validation of morality; Vilfredo Pareto the Italian neo-Machiavellian who emphasized the oligarchic or elitist character of all societies; and the German sociologist Max Weber who reflected critically on the prospects for human freedom in an age marked by bureaucratization and rationalization. Aron presents rich portraits of these three thinkers drawing out the enduring insights that remain in their work. At the same time he reflects critically on Durkheim's project for a science of society Pareto's critique of humanitarianism and Weber's tragic pessimism. Above all the book is remarkable for demonstrating Aron’s lifelong indebtedness to and divergence from the thought of Max Weber the sociologist par excellence in Aron's view. This Routledge Classics edition includes an introduction by Daniel J. Mahoney and Brian C. Anderson. | Main Currents in Sociological Thought: Volume 2 Durkheim Pareto Weber GBP 16.99 1
