"Philosophy and literature enjoy a close, complex relationship. Elucidating the connections between these two fields, this book examines the ways philosophy deploys literary means to advance its practice, particularly as a way of life that extends beyond literary forms and words into physical deeds, nonlinguistic expression, and subjective moods and feelings"--

Young people who come into contact with police officers on the streets today have little idea of the significance of the stabbing to death of Stephen Lawrence in a racist attack in 1993. Only their parents or grandparents remember the daily exposures of police incompetence and indirect racism which were given high profile in the media for six months. The repercussions of the case are still ongoing with the long overdue conviction in 2012 of two of the original suspects, and in the same year a number of racist assaults by police. This accessible and engaging book includes analysis of hitherto inaccessible transcripts. These dramatically show how the Inquiry was undermined to the point of failure to produce the desired results. Dr Stone also discusses contemporary issues and the relevance of the Inquiry today. This paperback edition is updated with a new Afterword, including revelations about police surveillance on members of the public who attended the Lawrence Inquiry, Dr Stone’s meeting with Mark Ellison QC prior to the release of his report on possible corruption and the role of undercover policing in the Stephen Lawrence case, and proposals for action on implementation of the agenda set by the Lawrence Inquiry. Hard-hitting and full of insightful detail, this book makes essential reading for academics, students, researchers and anyone interested in institutional racism, particularly in the police.

During a congress about artificial intelligence the successful psychoanalyst George Wilson falls in love with an extraordinary woman. Although he has a love affair with her, he only discovers her secret several years later when they meet at the Wagner festival in Bayreuth. This story is set at a time in the future when computers become more and more like humans and humans more and more like computers. The "thinking computers" go on strike, demand the same rights as humans, fight discrimination, adopt a constitution and are eventually fully recognized as citizens. In its enlightened and humane rationality the utopia of a better world takes shape, in which the weaknesses of human foolishness are overcome. But the computers not only think, they also feel, love and suffer. One of them even becomes schizophrenic and is treated psychoanalytically - with success. Following the novel 'The Mini Atom Project' physicist Richard M. Weiner reflects in his playfully witty, sometimes satirical fantasy about a future that has already moved quite close to the present, about the anthropological boundaries between man and machine, and at the same time those between humans and animals, the familiar and the foreign, nature and culture, life and death - and about happiness.

Stanner, a reflection on ways of remembering the Holocaust and an incisive analysis of the asylum-seeker issue, among others.

Composed in Hebrew in Capua, Italy in 1054, the family chronicle of Ahima'az remains one of the most important historical sources of medieval Jewish life, folklore, culture, and mentalités in Western Europe, especially in the so-called Ashkenazi area. As such, it provides a rich resource to scholars of medieval history, cultural studies, gender studies, and anthropology. In this book Robert Bonfil provides a detailed historical introduction and new English translation of the chronicle.
