Rendez à César ce qui est à César et à Dieu ce qui est à Dieu ? Ce livre s'interroge sur les rapports entre religion et politique à travers les tentatives d'unification entre les Eglises anglicane et orthodoxe grecque, pendant une période historique cruciale, celle du déclin puis de la chute de l'Empire ottoman. Les ambitions mutuelles de la Grèce et de l'Empire britannique en vue d'étendre leur domination sur cette région sont à l'origine d'un rapprochement qui, tout en étant politique, s'exprime avant tout à travers la politisation de la religion dans un cadre impérial moderne, colonial ou national, au sein duquel la religion devient un vecteur légitimant cette politique expansionniste. Ce livre soulève aussi la question du modèle ecclésiastico-politique de ce projet entre Eglise universelle et oecuménique et Eglise nationale, à travers l'étude des relations entre l'Eglise et l'Etat en Angleterre et en Grèce et la portée oecuménique de l'action de chacune de ces Eglises. Enfin, l'auteur tente d'éclairer les motivations ainsi que les difficultés auxquelles le Mouvement oecuménique s'est trouvé confronté à ses débuts. En essayant d'expliquer la portée et le sens des actions et discours des agents religieux pour répondre aux défis séculiers inédits auxquels ils devaient faire face, à partir du cataclysme de la Première Guerre mondiale jusqu'à l'avènement des régimes totalitaires et les répercussions néfastes de la Grande Dépression de 1929, ce travail permet d'appréhender l'évolution des rapports interconfessionnels, entre dynamique oecuménique et reconfiguration ou reformulation des concurrences ecclésiales héritées, à l'aune des transformations politiques et idéologiques complexes de cette période.

The Corporate Commonwealth traces the evolution of corporations during the English Renaissance and explores the many types of corporations that once flourished. Along the way, the book offers important insights into our own definitions of fiction, politics, and value. Henry S. Turner uses the resources of economic and political history, literary analysis, and political philosophy to demonstrate how a number of English institutions with corporate associations-including universities, guilds, towns and cities, and religious groups-were gradually narrowed to the commercial, for-profit corporation we know today, and how the joint-stock corporation, in turn, became both a template for the modern state and a political force that the state could no longer contain. Through innovative readings of works by Thomas More, William Shakespeare, Francis Bacon, and Thomas Hobbes, among others, Turner tracks the corporation from the courts to the stage, from commonwealth to colony, and from the object of utopian fiction to the subject of tragic violence. A provocative look at the corporation's peculiar character as both an institution and a person, The Corporate Commonwealth uses the past to suggest ways in which today's corporations might be refashioned into a source of progressive and collective public action.

It is often thought that the numerous contradictory perspectives in Margaret Cavendish's writings demonstrate her inability to reconcile her feminism with her conservative, royalist politics. In this book Lisa Walters challenges this view and demonstrates that Cavendish's ideas more closely resemble republican thought, and that her methodology is the foundation for subversive political, scientific and gender theories. With an interdisciplinary focus Walters closely examines Cavendish's work and its context, providing the reader with an enriched understanding of women's contribution to early modern scientific theory, political philosophy, culture and folklore. Considering also Cavendish's ideas in relation to Hobbes and Paracelsus, this volume is of great interest to scholars and students of literature, philosophy, history of ideas, political theory, gender studies and history of science.

Since Roe v. Wade, abortion has continued to be a divisive political issue in the United States. In contrast, it has remained primarily a medical issue in Britain and Canada despite the countries' shared heritage. Doctors and Demonstrators looks beyond simplistic cultural or religious explanations to find out why abortion politics and policies differ so dramatically in these otherwise similar countries. Drew Halfmann argues that political institutions are the key. In the United States, federalism, judicial review, and a private health care system contributed to the public definition of abortion as an individual right rather than a medical necessity. Meanwhile, Halfmann explains, the porous structure of American political parties gave pro-choice and pro-life groups the opportunity to move the issue onto the political agenda. A groundbreaking study of the complex legal and political factors behind the evolution of abortion policy, Doctors and Demonstrators will be vital for anyone trying to understand this contentious issue.
