Wittgenstein, Sense and Reality: The Swansea School (ISBN 978-0-7083-2176-8)
The objective of this book is to carry on a philosophical discussion of issues central to the work of a group of philosophers belonging to what, since the 1980's, has been recognised by academic philosophers as 'The Swansea School.' Chief among the philosophers commonly identified with the Swansea School are the late Peter Winch, the late Rush Rhees, the late D. Z. Phillips, H. O. Mounce, the late Ilham Dilman and the late R. W. Beardsmore, all of whom taught or studied, or both, at the University of Wales, Swansea, between 1940 and the present. For many of those years, two other philosophers, the late J. R. Jones and R. F. Holland, also taught at Swansea and played an important role in shaping the character of philosophy at Swansea. Each of eight of the chapters in this volume takes up aspects of the work of one of these philosophers. A ninth chapter explores commonalities and conflicts in the work of those discussed in the first eight essays.

| | Commemorations (ISBN 0-7083-1229-2 )
Studies in Christian Thought and History
Alan P. F. Sell
pp xi380 1993 paperback
In this book, Dr Sell presents a collection of commemorative essays and addresses. In the four lectures that comprise Part I, the anniversaries of Newman, Spurgeon, Martineau, Baxter, Fox, Wesley, Barrow, Greenwood and Penry are marked, with a view to illuminating issues which face the Christian churches towards the end of Christianity's second millennium. Part II comprises papers on thinkers, movements, events and institutions. Some of these are intended primarily to fill gaps in scholarship; others to suggest the continuing theological relevance of their subjects. Among the topics discussed are authority in the Church, the nature and unity of the Church, religious experience, evangelism, Church and State, the Mercersburg theology, post-Enlightenment philosophy, and religious freedom.

| | The Cultic Prophet and Israel's Psalmody (ISBN 0-7083-0707-8 )
Aubrey R. Johnson
pp xiii467 1979 hardback
This is the author's sequal to The Cultic Prophet in Ancient Israel, and, in thus piecing together the role of this type of prophet by recourse to certain psalms, he is also able to develop the arguments of his other monographs in the series. As a result he brings to the fore in a distinctive setting certain notions and propositions which are of the first importance for one's understanding of both the Old and the New Testament.
'The whole work is marked by that scholarly care and deeply religious spirit so characteristic of the author...' (The Baptist Quarterly)

Essays on Kant's Political Philosophy (ISBN 0-7083-1125-3 )
Edited by Howard Lloyd Williams
pp xix331 1992 hardback
An up to date discussion of the implications of Kant's political philosophy by prominent Kantian specialists.
As political philosopher Kant has been overshadowed far too long by his compatriots Hegel and Marx. The course of history appears now to have turned Kant's way. Kant's political philosophy, wedded as it is to rights, reform and gradual progress has the opportunity to emerge from the shadows cast by Hegelian and Marxist thinking upon the state in the twentieth century. The authors of these essays, five Americans, five British and two Germans seek to cast new light on important aspects of Kant's liberal thinking. Key topics are discussed, such as Kant's optimism,
the use of reason, contract, revolution and Kant's relation to Hegel. The grounds for Kant's liberal reformism are closely examined, his attitude to women and his moral and legal rigorism are also critically assessed.

| | Philosophy, History and Civilization: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on R. G. Collingwood (ISBN 0-7083-1308-6)
Out of stock. Since his death in 1943 R. G. Collingwood's reputation as one of the twentieth century's leading minds has gradually been growing. He has made an immense impact in the areas of philosophy of history and aesthetic, and his work in metaphysics has been closely related to that of Thomas Kuhn. More recently his work on political philosophy has come to the forefront.
He is the only English-speaking philosopher to have provided a grand theory of politics in the first half of the twentieth century, and the attempted to revive the social contract tradition in political philosophy twenty-five years before Rawls. In addition to his acknowledge philosophical acumen Collingwood was the world's leading expert on Roman inscriptions in Britain. Modern archaeologists still find considerable value in his work, especially in his attempts to apply his philosophy of history to archaeological problems.

A Radical Hegelian: The Political and Social Philosophy of Henry Jones (ISBN 0-7083-1207-1 )
David Boucher and Andrew Vincent
Out of print
In the last decade there has been a growing interest in Victorian and Edwardian philosophical thought and in the relation between idealism and liberalism in the same period. This book is an attempt to reconstruct the thought of one important Edwardian Welsh Hegelian þ Henry Jones. Rather than simply reconstruct his thought, the book uses his ideas as a catalyst to guide and explore the various intricate philosophical, political, religious and scientific debates at the close of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century. This method allows an investigation of his ideas in a broader intellectual context. It also allows Jones' ideas to resonate within their
intellectual environment in a richer and more satisfying manner.

The essays collected in this volume represent some of the wide range of topics in philosophy and the philosophy of religion to which Professor Hywel D.

This book pays tribute to his work and contains chapters by nine leading figures in the philosophy of religion.

Triads and Trinity (ISBN 0-7083-1281-0)
Was the idea of the Trinity - that One God exists in Three Persons and One Substance - influenced by pre-Christian traditions? It is well known that the New Testament offers no such doctrine, and there is no evidence that Jesus of Nazareth regarded himself as a member of the Trinity. The doctrine was developed during the first four Christian
centuries, culminating in the Council of Constantinople in AC 381.

This book shows you how to decide which arguments are sound, and to see what makes the bad ones bad.

| | William Morgan and His Bible (ISBN 0-7083-0982-8)
The author traces the progress of William Morgan's career from rural Penmachno to his appointment as Bishop of St Asaph. But the main emphasis is on Morgan's feat in translating the whole of the Bible into Welsh for the first time, a feat whose nature and extent is shown in both its Welsh and European background. We also find new information about the 'internal history' of the translation: Morgan's critical use of previous translations from Greek and Hebrew to a number of languages; his adherence to his own ideas regarding the technique of scriptural translation; and the
nature of his achievement in elevating the Welsh language to its place as 'one of the dialects of God's Revelation'.
'...everyone should read Dr Isaac Thomas' book. The way in which he unravels the various strands makes a fascinating story even more interesting.' (Welsh Churchman)
