The editor - an esteemed literary biographer and noted expert in the field - has encouraged contributors to explore the theoretical and methodological questions raised by the writing of biographies of writers.

Must religious belief be based on evidence? Is God necessary for morality? Does science discredit religion? Building upon the reputation of the first edition, the extensively revised second edition of Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Religion features fifteen essays which present arguments on some of the most central and controversial topics in philosophy of religion from the discipline's most influential thinkers. Considering questions of both emerging and perennial interest from atheistic, theistic, and agnostic viewpoints, the book adopts the series structure which pairs essays espousing opposing perspectives on a particular question or theme in an engaging pro and con format. Following accessible introductions to each debate, the volume's new and newly-revised contributions set the stage for thoughtful and lively discourse between philosophers in philosophy of religion and analytic theology. Debates range from vigorous disagreements between theists and their critics to arguments between theists of different philosophical and theological persuasions, highlighting points of contrast for readers while showcasing the field's leading minds in dialogue. The head-to-head chapters offer forceful advocacy for some of the most compelling ideas, beliefs, and objections in the philosophy of religion, opening the conversation up to students to weigh the arguments and engage in comparative analysis of the concepts for themselves. Written to appeal to the non-specialist as well as the professional philosopher, Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Religion is ideal as both a provocative primary text for coursework in analytical theology and philosophy of religion, and as a broad survey of the field for scholars and general readers with an interest in the questions which underpin contemporary philosophy of religion and theology.

"This impressive book does much to confirm Shand's conviction that the 'long' nineteenth century, from Kant to Bergson, was the most vibrant period in Western philosophy since the Ancient Greeks. It provides expert guidance to readers seeking further understanding of famous figures like Nietzsche and Marx, acquaintance with unjustly neglected thinkers such as Bradley and Taine, or a perspicuous overview of an age of remarkable intellectual energy."--David Cooper, Durham University "This volume provides an excellent survey of the diverse philosophical strands in the second great intellectual revolution in human history -- the post-Enlightenment upsurge that rivalled and completed the Greek beginning. The contributions, which range from Kant to Bergson, are marked by impeccable scholarship and philosophical sophistication. This book will be invaluable for students and advanced researchers alike."--Michael Inwood, Trinity College, Oxford "Wiley Blackwell, and editor John Shand, have produced a wonderful volume devoted to nineteenth-century philosophy. Aside from the quality of the individual articles, the volume includes a wide-ranging selection of thinkers working during a volatile time in the academy. Most laudable is the inclusion of works by Bretano, Bradley, and Bergson alongside the standard figures (Kant, Hegel, Mill, etc.), and the inclusion of American pragmatism. This is a must-have volume, not only for philosophers, but for anyone wanting to get a grasp on the intellectual turmoil that informs our ideas to this day. I recommend it enthusiastically."--Michelle Gilmore-Grier, University of San Diego Philosophy in the nineteenth century was characterized by new ways of thinking, a desperate searching for new truths. As science, art, and religion were transformed by social pressures and changing worldviews, old certainties fell away, leaving many with a terrifying sense of loss and a realization that the dominant systems of thought needed to be profoundly reimagined. A Companion to Nineteenth-Century Philosophy surveys the major intellectual developments, setbacks, upsets, and revolutions in the study and practice of philosophy during the nineteenth century, and reveals the origins of contemporary trends in the discipline. Beginning with an examination of Kant's Transcendental Idealism, which was instrumental in the fundamental philosophical shifts that marked the beginning of this new and radical age in the history of philosophy, John Shand guides readers chronologically and thematically through the ideological turning points of this historically transitional period. Chapters written by an international and multi-disciplinary group of scholars examine the most significant and influential philosophers of the era, including Hegel, Fichte, Schopenhauer, Mill, Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche, and Bradley, as well as their interlocutors Sidgwick, Peirce, Husserl, Frege, and Bergson whose thought laid the groundwork for the modern era. Historically informative and philosophically thorough, A Companion to Nineteenth-Century Philosophy is an authoritative and readable reference that paints a vivid picture of the philosophical landscape of the nineteenth century which shaped the modern world.

This monograph examines the interplay between behavioral and cognitive representations of attachmet during early childhood. We track the continued development of secure base support and use while assessing maternal co-construction processes and thier joint impact on children's secure base behavior and attachment representations. First, our investigation establishes that smoothly interacting dyads have mothers who continue to provide secure base support and children who use them as secure base across early childhood (mother sensitivity-child security links). Furthermore, the patterning of children's secure base behavior when interacting with the mother is related to the structure of children's knowledge about secure base relationships. Second, we introduce mother co-construction skills and evaluate their impact on the mother child relationship. Using two different co-construction tasks, we scored maternal co-construction in terms of skills that promote secure base script knowledge. Both tasks were related to maternal AAI coherence and attachment script knowledge. In addition, studies showed that maternal co-construction skills make unique contributions to both child secure base behvior and child script knowledge. Findings support the hypothesis that mothers' cognitive/verbal co-constructive skills during conversations about attachment and emotion-laden situations play a key role in organization of children's attachment behavior and representations. Finally, we demonstrate that maternal script knowledge not only impacts children's script knowledge (intergenerational transmission), but guides mothers' expectations and judgements of mother-child interactions. Throughout this monograph, we stress the importance of an interpersonal approach when investigating attachment relationships during early childhood, where mother-child interactions and communication about attachment-related issues are considered key to unveil co-constructive processes involved in the child's behavioral and cognitive organization of attachment relationships.
