The Scientific Revolution

2018 || Paperback || Steven Shapin || The University of Chicago Press

“There was no such thing as the Scientific Revolution, and this is a book about it.” With this provocative and apparently paradoxical claim, Steven Shapin begins his bold vibrant exploration of early modern science. In this classic of science history, Shapin takes into account the culture – the variety of beliefs, practices, and influences – that in the 1600s shaped the origins of the modern scientific worldview.

Theory and Reality

An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science, Second Edition

2021 || Paperback || Peter Godfrey-Smith || The University of Chicago Press

The result is a completely accessible introduction to the main themes of the philosophy of science. Examples and asides engage the beginning student, a glossary of terms explains key concepts, a...

Imagining Religion

From Babylon to Jonestown

1988 || Paperback || Jonathan Z. Smith || The University of Chicago Press

With this influential book of essays, Jonathan Z. Smith has pointed the academic study of religion in a new theoretical direction, one neither theological nor willfully ideological. Making use of examples as apparently diverse and exotic as the Maori cults in nineteenth-century New Zealand and the events of Jonestown, Smith shows that religion must be construed as conventional, anthropological, historical, and as an exercise of imagination. In his analyses, religion emerges as the product of ...

Beyond Nature and Culture

2014 || Paperback || Philippe Descola || The University of Chicago Press

Here, finally, it is brought to English-language readers. At its heart is a question central to both anthropology and philosophy: what is the relationship between nature and culture?

Prisoners of Shangri-La

Tibetan Buddhism and the West

2018 || Paperback || Donald S. Lopez Jr || The University of Chicago Press

To the Western imagination, Tibet evokes exoticism, mysticism, and wonder: a fabled land removed from the grinding onslaught of modernity, spiritually endowed with all that the West has lost. Originally published in 1998, Prisoners of Shangri-La provided the first cultural history of the strange encounter between Tibetan Buddhism and the West. Donald Lopez reveals here fanciful misconceptions of Tibetan life and religion.

He examines, among much else, the politics of the term "Lamaism," a pej...

What Soldiers Do

Sex and the American GI in World War II France

2014 || Paperback || Mary Louise Roberts || The University of Chicago Press

What Soldiers Do presents a devastating new perspective on the Greatest Generation and the liberation of France, one in which the US military use the lure of easy, sexually available French women to sell soldiers on the invasion, thus unleashing a "tsunami of male lust" among the war-weary GIs. The resulting chaos-ranging from flagrant public sex with prostitutes to outright rape and rampant venereal disease - horrified the battered and demoralized French population and caused serious frictio...

The Climate of History in a Planetary Age

2021 || Paperback || Dipesh Chakrabarty || The University of Chicago Press

For the past decade, historian Dipesh Chakrabarty has been one of the most influential scholars addressing the meaning of climate change. Climate change, he argues, upends long-standing ideas of history, modernity, and globalization. The burden of The Climate of History in a Planetary Age is to grapple with what this means and to confront humanities scholars with ideas they have been reluctant to reconsider—from the changed nature of human agency to a new acceptance of universals.
