How Knowledge Travels: Learned Periodicals and the Atlantic Republic of Letters
Pirillo D.
Q2
Abstract: Although the Republic of Letters has become today a main area of interdisciplinary research, early North America has remained largely impermeable to this new body of scholarship. In this article I use the category of the Republic of Letters to overcome some of the limitations of the “Atlantic world” paradigm and to shed new light on the intellectual history of eighteenth-century America. Along with studying the means through which American savants gathered information about scholarly trends and recent publications, I also bring to light the strategies they used to actively contribute to the production and organization of knowledge.
Consciousness in Neorealism: Perry, Montague, and Holt
Neuber M.
Q2
Abstract: The early twentieth-century American neo-realists’ approach to consciousness is historically reconstructed and critically discussed. With reference to the relevant works of Ralph Barton Perry, William Pepperrell Montague, and Edwin B. Holt, it is argued that Montague and Holt, in particular, struggled with the problem of error and disagreed strongly on their solutions to it. Finally, a line is drawn to related discussions in contemporary philosophy of mind.
J. G. A. Pocock: A Life in Letters
Skinner Q.
Q2
Abstract: A memoir of J. G. A. Pocock derived from his correspondence with Quentin Skinner between 1965 and 2020. The letters follow the development of Pocock’s career from his early years in New Zealand to his move to the United States in 1966 and his long period of teaching at Johns Hopkins University. Among the topics covered are the gestation and publication of Pocock’s most famous book, The Machiavellian Moment , and the evolution of his six-volume study of Gibbon’s history, Barbarism and Religion . Much new light is also cast on Pocock’s personality, family life, relations with colleagues, and political beliefs.
The Settler Colonial Ideal in Nineteenth-Century France: From Revolutionary Shipwreck to Settler Colonial Shores
Legg C.A.
Q2
Abstract: This article analyzes the published testimonies of French shipwreck survivors to trace the emergence of a settler colonial ideal in nineteenth-century France. Emerging from the encounters of French survivors with the men of the Anglo-World, this ideal encouraged compassionate, paternalist authority as a solution to the ongoing conflict of paternal despotism and disorderly fraternal freedom in France. The community of sentiment imagined in shipwreck testimonies was gendered and racialized, cultivating white compassion across colonial empires. These transimperial affective ties allowed the settler colonial ideal to persist in the early twentieth century, despite the abandonment of further projects for French settlement.
Spiritual and Medical Melancholy in Lutheran Responses to Johann Weyer’s Criticism of the Witch Trials
Morton P.A.
Q2
Abstract: This article examines responses from Lutheran pastors, theologians, and physicians to the arguments given by Johann Weyer in 1563 that those women who confessed to a pact with the devil suffered from melancholy and were thus not responsible for their acts. Weyer’s conception of melancholy was a medical one, yet among Lutheran pastors and theologians the concept of a spiritual form of melancholy emerged that came from religious sources. The article clarifies the difference between the concepts of medical and spiritual melancholy within Lutheranism and reviews the respective roles they played in the debates over Weyer’s arguments.
Academic Freedom in the English Revolution: Libertas Scholastica, Libertas Philosophandi , and the Reformation of the Universities
Vozar T.M.
Q2
Abstract: This article contributes to the genealogy of the concept of academic freedom with a focus on the English universities in the middle of the seventeenth century. It argues that libertas scholastica (the corporate freedom of the universities) and libertas philosophandi (liberty of philosophizing, within and without the universities) were distinctive guiding concepts, sometimes in opposition but occasionally complementary, in debates over the universities in this period. If these two notions together constitute the antecedents of the modern concept of academic freedom, their conjunction must be recognized as a much more contingent and irregular phenomenon than has been previously understood.
Max Weber and the Re-Enchantment of Charisma
Zhang C.
Q2
Abstract: This article traces the emergence and application of Max Weber’s influential concept of charisma in his “Confucianism and Taoism” (1920) and “Politics as a Vocation" (1919), two texts that have not received much attention in the discussion of charisma. Through these texts, we learn to appreciate Weber’s engagement with classical Chinese philosophy and the global composition of this key idea in the twentieth century.

Cyprian the Inclusivist? Cyprian's Soteriology in a Pluralistic World
Mills D.F.
Q2
precis: Some scholars have argued for inclusivism as the theology of the early church prior to the legalization of Christianity with the Edict of Milan in 313. Part of this attempt to retrieve inclusivism from the patristic period has involved a reinterpretation of Cyprian's famous axiom, "outside the church, there is no salvation." At the very least, advocates for this recovery of inclusivism have argued for agnosticism concerning his beliefs, and some have even tried to claim him as an early inclusivist. The new interpretation has maintained that the Constantinian church took Cyprian's ideas out of context by applying them to all people outside the church rather than just to schismatics. Since Cyprian was writing only about schismatics, scholarship cannot say for certain what he believed concerning the extent of salvation. While laudable for reading Cyprian based upon his context, this new interpretation argues from silence and misunderstands how his axioms enhanced his case against schismatics. He used the notion of exclusivism as a weapon to counter the arguments for schism. Since there is no salvation outside the church, the schismatics were not saved, just as the pagans were not. After summarizing and evaluating scholarship arguing for this new interpretation of Cyprian, this essay will reveal Cyprian's underlying exclusivism that is found across his entire corpus.
Ecumenical Similarities between Ignatian and Quaker Dialogic Leadership Principles, Processes, and Application within Large Secular University Contexts
Nielsen R.P.
Q2
precis: This essay seeks to articulate the relationships between Ignatian and Quaker "seeking that of Go[o]d in all things" and the "servant leadership" method, and between "communal discernment" and the "service-based participative group decision-making" process methods. These core principles and processes are related to what has been termed "wider ecumenism," "bottom-up ecumenism," and "tactical ecumenism." Large Jesuit and Quaker universities have experienced similar marginalization and even the disappearance of meaningful Ignatian and Quaker presence and mission. These process methods can incorporate the key ecumenical principles within large secular university contexts and help preserve, adapt, harmonize, and partner with core cross-tradition and ecumenical foundations, even when the core principles are at some disconnect from contemporary secular organizational cultures and systems.
