Shame is one of a family of self-conscious emotions that includes embarrassment, guilt, disgrace, and humiliation. On Shame examines this emotion psychologically and philosophically, in order to show how it can be a galvanizing force for moral action against the violence and atrocity that characterize the world we live in. Michael L. Morgan argues that because shame is global in its sense of the self, the moral failures of all groups in which we are a member – including the entire human race – reflect on each person individually. Drawing on historical and current affairs to explore the emotion of shame, as well as films such as Night and Fog, Hotel Rwanda and Life is Beautiful and the work of Primo Levi, Bernard Williams, and Stanley Cavell, Michael Morgan illustrates how moral responsibility can be facilitated by calling upon an emotional reaction that is familiar, complex, and central to our conception of ourselves as individuals and as members of society.

We lift up the psalms to God as our prayers. We borrow the language of these ancient texts, and they become our works. We are not secondhand recipients of Gods word but communicants actively in conversation with God. What seems to set the Psalms apart from the rest of Scripture is their sacramental nature, their unique ability to mold and transform the believer. The Psalter for Christian Worshipreclaims the Psalms for congregational worship with new texts set to familiar hymnal tunes. This collection, for worship leaders, musicians, and congregations, will inspire both corporate and private devotions.Features include: The Old Testament flavor of the Psalter is retained with new sensitivity to imagery and inclusive language; all 150 psalms have been converted into hymns of reasonable length to be sung in church; an index of suggested hymn tunes is included; and an index for liturgical use is also provided.

Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995) stands in the great tradition of phenomenology that stretches from Edmund Husserl to Martin Heidegger. His emphasis on the importance of the ‘Other’ in ethics has had a huge impact in continental philosophy, literature and religious studies. However, Levinas’s preoccupation with the idea of ‘ethics as first philosophy’, combined with the challenging nature of his prose and terminology, have tended to obscure his important contributions to mainstream philosophy. In this outstanding introduction Michael Morgan examines and assesses Levinas for those coming to his work for the first time. Beginning with an overview of Levinas’s life and times he discusses the following fundamental aspects of Levinas’s thought Phenomenology and transcendental philosophy: the significance of Kant, Husserl and Heidegger in Levinas’s philosophy and the origins of his theory of otherness The ideas and themes in Totality and Infinity, including Levinas’s discussion of eschatology and messianism and his introduction of the face-to-face relation as the primary dimension of ethical value Levinas’s application of the face-to-face relation to political, moral and epistemological problems and the novel expressions used by Levinas to describe them, such as trace, illeity and diachrony The problem of the authority of the ethical, the relation between the ethical and time, and how the ethical involves human freedom, responsibility and identity The ideas in Levinas’s second major work, Otherwise than Being, particularly his theories of self and subjectivity and the interdependence between interpersonal, ethical responsibility and the political domain of justice Levinas’s philosophical legacy, including the contribution of his ideas to contemporary discussions about the sources of normativity in ethics and the dialogical nature of ethical inquiryIncluding chapter summaries, annotated further reading and a glossary of technical terms this is an ideal introduction to Levinas’s thought for anyone coming to his work for the first time. It will be essential reading for students in philosophy as well as related disciplines such as religion, theology, Jewish studies and literature.

One of the world’s most influential and prolific media scholars, George Gerbner played a major role in the development of communication theory and research. His critical approach to mass communication changed the way we think about media industries, the messages and images they produce, and their social and cultural impacts. Gerbner is most widely known for his decades of work on television violence, but his research and writing focused on many other vital aspects of the symbolic cultural environment. This book provides a broad-based introduction to Gerbner’s theories of mass communication, his long-term research on media content and effects, and the critical and policy contributions of his work. Although hundreds of studies have been conducted based on Gerbner’s ideas, this is the first volume to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of his many contributions to the field.
