Christine de Pizan (1364-1431) has been recognised as a poet, early humanist and feminist precursor but rarely as political theorist whose works were intended to have a direct impact on the tumultuous politics of her time. The essays in this collection focus on Christine as a political writer and provide an important resource for those wishing to understand her political thought. They locate her political writing in the late medieval tradition, discussing her indebtedness to Aristotle, Aquinas and Augustine as well as her transformations of their thought. They also illuminate Christines political epistemology her understanding of political wisdom as a part of theology, the knowledge of God. New light is thrown on the circumstances which prompted Christine to write on political issues and on her attitude to Isabeau of Bavaria. These essays show that Christines originality consisted in her capacity to modify and feminise the tradition of Christian Aristotelianism through the use of elements of Christian imagery, in particular Mariology, in order to construct an image of the virtuous and prudent monarch which had lost the explicitly manly and warlike character of the Aristotelian phronimos. This reconfigured image of the monarch lent itself to the extension which she developed in her more feminist works, which demonstrated the prudence of women and their capacity, in times of need, to function as authoritative political figures.

"Healing the Body Politic" examines the contested place of health and development in El Salvador over the last two decades. It recounts the dramatic story of radical health activism from its origins in liberation theology and guerrilla medicine during the third-world country's twelve-year civil war, through development of a remarkable "popular health system," administered by lay providers in a former war zone controlled by leftist rebels. The ethnography contributes to the integration of medical and political anthropology by bringing the semiotics of health and the body to bear on cultural understandings of warfare, the state, and globalization.

American politics and government are so moribund, according to Erwin Jaffe, that serious political dialogue is a stranger in a land celebrated for freedom of expression. Healing the Body Politic examines the sources of this condition, among them the loss of connectedness (society's orientation toward mobility and its relative disinterest in place, neighborhood, and community), widespread misunderstanding of the distinction and relationship between power and violence, and a distorted image of political life and responsibility. This broad-based work examines these problems and proposes, both in theoretical and practical terms, a rethinking and rediscovery of political power and political life as the only viable solution. Drawing on a variety of fields, including traditional political theory, this work points the way to a restoration of American political life and our ability to cope once again with the problems of civil society. It will be of interest to scholars and students of political science, political theory, and American government.

According to modern medicine, disease is an accident, an effect of bacteria, viruses, toxins, and genes. It has no meaning outside a science of the body's machinery. Infected with Difference: Healing Dis/ease in the Body Politic argues in contrast that disease is often dis/ease, a meaningful expression of the self's entanglement in systems of power, exclusion, and hierarchy. And so, healing disease depends not just upon changing the body's biochemistry, but upon politicizing at least some aspects of the world the self is implicated in. According to this book, disease is not an accident, it is a calling, an irruption of truth. Infected with Difference begins with a discussion of the new science of psychoneuroimmunology, which deals with the intimate relationship between the mind's thoughts, feelings, and images and the body's biochemistry. According to discoveries in psychoneuroimmunology, not just the brain, but the immune system and all the rest of the body "thinks," processes the world. Immune cells, in particular, are surprising sophisticated at sensing the world, interpreting it, and communicating their response to the rest of the body. Given the way immune cells function, disease is not just an invasion from the outer world, but an interpretation the body makes of the world. If psychoneuroimmunology is right about claiming that mind and body are not two different entities but one, a mindbody, then, this book argues, that which is diseasing the self cannot be limited to the psychology of the individual but must be extended to the individual's family, community, and polity. The images, metaphors, thoughts, and feelings that constitute and enable the immune system's response to the world are not just personal, but intersubjective and transpersonal, an effect of language, culture, tradition, and systems of power. If the individual's body is diseased, there is something dis/easing about the world it is in, and so it must be called into question, politicized, before the individual can be healed. Healing the body means healing the world. This, of course, raises a whole series of questions about responsibility for disease. The book ends by cautioning against a politics of blame, guilt, and resentment. According to Sikorski, we must not build the world of evil others to blame for disease, those who must be excluded from the polity, punished for their sins, and silenced because of danger they pose. That only introduces more sources of dis/ease into the world.

Incorporating investigative journalism and drawing on interviews with participants and leaders, Sandy Smith-Nonini examines the contested place of health and development in El Salvador over the last two decades. Healing the Body Politic recounts the dramatic story of radical health activism from its origins in liberation theology and guerrilla medicine during the third-world country's twelve-year civil war, through development of a remarkable "popular health system," administered by lay providers in a former war zone controlled by leftist rebels. This ethnography casts light on the conflicts between the conservative Ministry of Health and primary health advocates during the 1990s peace process--a time when the government sought to dismantle the effective peasant-run rural system. It offers a rare analysis of the White Marches of 2002û2003, when radicalized physicians rose to national leadership in a successful campaign against privatization of the social security health system. Healing the Body Politic contributes to the productive integration of medical and political anthropology by bringing the semiotics of health and the body to bear on cultural understandings of warfare, the state, and globalization.

Let's Get Civil enables We the People to conduct productive arguments that lead to good laws and public policies. To do that we must improve both how we think and what we think. That requires full intellectual development. Full intellectual development consists of both cognitive development, the ability to reason; and moral development, the ability to reason morally. We all become capable of mature reason and mature moral reason around the time students graduate from high school. But too many of us do not develop as we can. Let's Get Civil shows us how to fix that in families, schools, and society. It also explores the forces that work to undermine our full development, exposes them, and rejects them. We fix moral philosophy, which has virtually ceased to exist in the U.S., and we reunite moral philosophy with the social sciences. That marriage makes both better. The social sciences are good at studying what is in society, but they also need to know what should be in society. And only moral philosophy has the tools to answer that question. By working together, moral philosophy and the social sciences become more effective and efficient and moral. Finally, we use the intellectual tools we have developed to build a mature understanding of Economic Justice, Education Justice, Women's Health Justice, and Social Justice. That understanding allows all of us, all of We the People, to conduct civil, grown up arguments about the laws and public policies we need to become all that our Founding Fathers hoped for us.
