Daniel Conway guides you through one of the most clearly developed statements of Nietzsche's mature philosophy, section by section. Adopting an interpretative approach throughout, Daniel Conway treats Beyond Good and Evil as a coherent, unified and carefully crafted complete text. When treated this way, the text reveals itself as a guide to the education that Nietzsche prescribes for his best readers, at the brink of the new post-moral era. Conway makes sense of the overarching aims and structure of the book at the same time as providing a broader context for the arguments Nietzsche makes and the positions he stakes out. Requiring no prior knowledge of the text or of Nietzsche, he guides you through the text with the reward of a more developed reading of the distinctly political agenda that emerges in the second half.

Written by an international team of contributors, this book offers a fresh set of interpretations of Fear and Trembling, which remains Kierkegaard's most influential and popular book. The chapters provide incisive accounts of the psychological and epistemological presuppositions of Fear and Trembling; of religious experience and the existential dimension of faith; of Kierkegaard's understanding of the relationship between faith and knowledge; of the purported and real conflicts between ethics and religion; of Kierkegaard's interpretation of the value of hope, trust, love and other virtues; of Kierkegaard's debts to German idealism and Protestant theology; and of his seminal contributions to the fields of psychology, existential phenomenology and literary theory. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and upper-level students of Kierkegaard studies, the history of philosophy, theology and religious studies.

This collection both reflects and contributes to the recent surge of philosophical interest in The Antichrist and represents a major contribution to Nietzsche studies.

Nietzsche regarded The Antichrist, along with Zarathustra, as his most important work. In it he outlined many epoch-defining ideas, including his dawning realisation of the 'death of God' and the inception of a new, post-moral epoch in Western history. He called the work 'a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed'.

One certainly need not share Nietzsche's estimation of his achievement in The Antichrist to conclude that there is something significant going on in this work. Indeed, even if Nietzsche overestimated its transformative power, it would be valuable nonetheless to have a clearer sense of why he thought so highly of this particular book, which is something of an outlier in his oeuvre. Until now, there has been no book that attempts to account with philosophical precision for the multiple themes addressed in this difficult and complex work.

In this book of reflections about Benedictine spirituality, author Daniel Conway shares with readers his reflections on the joy and peace that he has found in and through 50 years of association with women and men who follow the Benedictine Way. In spite of what some would say, the Benedictine way is not primarily about the fuga mundi (withdrawal or flight from the world). It is, instead, a way of being in the world but not of it, a manner of engagement that allows Christians to enjoy all the good things God has made without turning them into false idols that distort our values and consume us in the process. Archabbot Kurt Stasiak of Saint Meinrad summarizes Benedictine monasticism as seeking God in community which presumes a commitment to being guided by others and helping others find God. Prayer and fidelity to the common life are the principal ways that followers of St. Benedict seek God in community over the course of a whole lifetime. Archabbot Kurt goes on to say that mutual obedience to the Rule, the abbot and to each other is the way to God for monks and for all who strive to live according to the teaching of St. Benedict. Once it is understood and lived authentically, the Benedictine Way is truly a way of peace and joy. That never happens overnight. It takes time to absorb the principles and practices of Benedictine spirituality and to integrate them into our minds and hearts. This is true for vowed monks whose whole lives are dedicated to living the Rule of Benedict in a particular place and time. It's also true for ordinary people who are not called to be monks but who are seeking ways to live the Gospel that can help them cope with the madness of everyday living in the world.

Father Turiddu and The Second Gracie Allen Murder Case unites two absolutely unique, one-of-a-kind characters: Actress Gracie Allen who was famous for her illogical logic and young Father Sal Turiddu (pronounced Too-REE-doo) whose adventures over more than 60 years in his beloved city of St. Louis would earn him the title, Il salvatore della citt (Savior of the City). Daniel Conway is the author of three Father Turiddu novels: Father Turiddu the Savior of the City, Father Turiddu Returns: the Cardinal and the Inquisitor and Father Turiddu and the Polar Vortex. Unlike the three previous Father Turiddu novels, which describe the adventures of Father T when he is an 80 year-old pastor, the new novel takes place nearly 60 years earlier. Father Salvatore E. Turiddu is a newly ordained priest in his first assignment at the Italian parish on The Hill. Accompanying his mother, Rosalia, and his sister Phyllis, to a benefit performance given by the comedy team of George Burns and Gracie Allen, the young priest is given his first opportunity to try out the problem-solving skills that would distinguish him as an exceptional priest and community leader. Here is a description of the first encounter between Gracie Allen and Father Turiddu: On seeing Father T, Gracie Allen cried out in her loudest little voice, Oh, Father. I'm so happy you're here. It's my cousin Otis. He's in big trouble. What kind of trouble, Miss Allen? the young priest asked. He's in jail-accused of murdering someone he didn't know. Can you help him, Father? He's such a good boy at heart. Why are you asking me for help, Miss Allen? I'm not a lawyer or a detective, and I've only been ordained a priest for two months. I'm psychic, Father, and I know you can help me solve this murder case. I have some experience you know. Many years ago I helped a famous detective, Philo Vance, solve a crime just like this one. They even made a movie about it called The Gracie Allen Murder Case. Miss Allen, I'm a priest, not a detective. Solving murder mysteries is not something we were taught in the seminary. Don't you worry, Father. I told you I'm psychic. I know you can do it. Will you promise me you'll try? I promise to visit your cousin and see what I can do to help him. After that, it's in the hands of the Sacred Heart. Father Turiddu and The Second Gracie Allen Murder Case tells the delightful story of how these two remarkable characters-a zany comedienne and a dedicated young priest-join forces to solve a murder and free an innocent man. Readers will enjoy the twists and turns of the story. They will fall in love with Gracie (again?) and grow in admiration and respect for Father T. At that moment, George Burns appeared at the dressing room door. Say goodnight, Gracie. Goodnight, End of story.

Masculinities, militarisation and the End Conscription Campaign explores the gendered dynamics of apartheid-era South Africa's militarisation and analyses the defiance of compulsory military service by individual white men, and the anti-apartheid activism of the white men and women in the End Conscription Campaign (ECC), the most significant white anti-apartheid movement to happen in South Africa. Military conscription and objection to it are conceptualised as gendered acts of citizenship and premised on and constitutive of masculinities.

Conway draws upon a range of materials and disciplines to produce this socio-political study. Sources include interviews with white men who objected to military service in the South African Defence Force (SADF); archival material, including military intelligence surveillance of the ECC; ECC campaigning material, press reports and other pro-state propaganda. The analysis is informed by perspectives in sociology, international relations, history and from work on contemporary militarised societies such as those in Israel and Turkey. This book also explores the interconnections between militarisation, sexuality, race, homophobia and political authoritarianism.

In this study Daniel Conway shows how Nietzsche's political thinking bears a closer resemblance to the conservative republicanism of his predecessors than to the progressive liberalism of his contemporaries.
The key contemporary figures such as Habermas, Foucault, McIntyre, Rorty and Rawls are also examined in the light of Nietzsche's political legacy. Nietzsche and the Political also draws out important implications for contemporary liberalism and feminist thought, above all showing Nietzsche's continuing relevance to the shape of political thinking today.

Just after nine o'clock, Father Salvatore E. Turiddu walked through the front door of Interpol's Rome headquarters and asked to see the agent in charge. He didn't have to wait long before he was introduced to the chief inspector, the head of the Rome office. Father T (as everyone calls him) explained that he was a priest from the United States whose family came from Sicily. He told the chief inspector that he was a close friend of the cardinal who had recently been threatened by terrorists and that the purpose of his visit was to learn more about this unfortunate situation and offer his assistance. I regret to inform you, Monsignore, the chief inspector said to Father T, that your friend the cardinal was abducted last night from a small monastery in Umbria where he was staying after receiving several terrorist threats here in Rome and at the Vatican. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what a catastrophe exclaimed Father T. I may be 82 years old, but I'm going to use all the gifts God gave me to make sure that my friend and former archbishop is not harmed by these terrorist goons Father Turiddu Returns: The Cardinal and the Inquisitor is a novel, a fictional story, that celebrates the all too real life and ministry of one of the Catholic Church's most unique and beloved priests. The story celebrates values that are timeless--friendship, loyalty, love for the truth and the refusal to betray fundamental beliefs. Like Father Brown, Father Dowling and other priest-detectives who solve crimes while serving as full-time pastors, Father T uses his knowledge of human nature and his absolute trust in God's grace to lead him where others cannot go and to solve mysteries that baffle civil authorities. I think you're nuts, Father T's cousin told him. But I know I can't talk you out of it if your mind is made up. It's a Sicilian thing, I know. But I'm Sicilian, too, and my advice is: Don't do it. You're 82 years old and it's too dangerous Readers will enjoy Father Turiddu's fictional adventures, but even more they will love the man, the character and the priest who never hesitates to do whatever it takes to help those who are in need.
