What does it mean to be an academic in the twenty first century? Clearly, there is no one answer to this question, as the diversity evident in the following chapters reveals. Elite research universities often tend to join with others of their kind, so that a professor from an elite US institution may well undertake a Japanese sabbatical (if at all) at the University of Tokyo, a UK semester at Oxford or Cambridge, or an Australian semester at the University of Sydney, or perhaps Melbourne. At each, they can expect to have at their disposal well-stocked libraries, replete with requisite books, journals and databases, (many now available electronically), as well as highly regarded specialist peers in their research areas, with whom they can discuss their work in detail. How can this academic lifeworld be compared with that of a member of the South East Asian professoriate, for example, or many in Latin America and Africa, where inadequate wages often necessitate taking on a second job, often at a lower quality private institution (which, however, likely offers better remuneration), and/or perhaps conducting a small business on the side (Welch 2003, Tipton, Jarvis and Welch 2003), and where the lack of basic infrastructure, as well as research training, means that teaching, and perhaps some administration, is perhaps the limit of one’s activities? The story of differentiation, however, is not limited todifferences between elite institutions in OECD countries and more modest institutions elsewhere.

Mencius, who lived in the 4th century B.C., is second only to Confucius in importance in the Confucian tradition. The Mencius consists of sayings of Mencius and conversations he had with his contemporaries. When read side by side with the Analects, the Mencius throws a great deal of light on the teachings of Confucius. Mencius developed many of the ideas of Confucius and at the same time discussed problems not touched upon by Confucius. He drew out the implications of Confucius' moral principles and reinterpreted them for the conditions of his time. As the fullest of the four great Confucian texts, the Mencius has been the required reading amongst Chinese scholars for two thousand years, and it still throws considerable light on the character of the Chinese people.

St. John of the Cross described the stanzas of his poem, The Living Flame of Love, as the “songs of the soul in the intimate communication of the union of love with God.” The verses capture the mystical vistas from the summit of the saint’s spiritual journey, describing the mystery and powerful experience of divine transformation as the soul encounters and unites with the pure love of God. After the poem’s composition and at the request of his friend, the laywoman Doña Ana de Peñalosa, St. John of the Cross wrote the prose commentary that represents his final word on the journey of the soul’s transformation toward union with God. In these verses and commentary, our saintly guide teaches us as the “Mystical Doctor of the Church,” but also as a gentle pastor. Readers can aptly place themselves in the position of Doña Ana—a fellow soul on this journey of transformation in God’s grace—following this holy shepherd along the narrow paths of purification toward our eternal dwelling place in God and union with him. In this study edition, Father Kieran Kavanaugh, O.C.D., offers important context and contemporary interpretive notes concerning the teaching of St. John of the Cross in The Living Flame of Love. This edition includes: Study guides provided throughout the book, which provide helpful guidance and explanation; A glossary of terms offering definitions as they pertain to John’s specific usage throughout the work; Comprehensive indexes of key themes and biblical references, which make this edition an indispensable reference resource. With the combination of a modern scholarly translation of St. John of the Cross’s text and a contemporary commentary, The Living Flame of Love: Study Edition affords readers the opportunity to gain a much deeper appreciation for the beauty and richness of St. John’s perennial teaching on the experience and science of love. The indexes are fully linked.

The Four Books of Confucianism presents a profound exploration of classical Chinese philosophy, culture, and ethics through a curated selection of ancient texts. This anthology delves into central Confucian tenets, highlighting the insightful teachings and dialogues central to Confucian thought. While the texts span a range of literary forms, including discourses, anecdotes, and meditative reflections, they collectively illuminate themes of morality, humaneness, and governance. Among the standout pieces, the discussions on virtuous leadership and the cultivation of personal character underscore the enduring relevance of these philosophies in contemporary society. The anthology features contributions from venerable figures like the anonymous authors and the philosopher Mencius. These contributors have profoundly shaped Confucian discourse, drawing from varying historical and cultural contexts to elaborate on Confucian doctrines. Mencius, in particular, is renowned for his expansion on innate human goodness, offering interpretations that align with historical movements emphasising moral self-cultivation. By bringing together such diverse voices, this collection enriches the reader's understanding and appreciation of Confucianism's nuanced teachings and their historical legacy. Recommended to both seasoned scholars and newcomers, this collection provides an invaluable opportunity to traverse the philosophical landscapes of Confucianism. The collection not only imparts foundational knowledge of ancient Chinese thought but also fosters a dialogue across time and culture, encouraging readers to reflect on their own values and societal norms. Within these pages, learners and enthusiasts alike will find a treasure trove of insights, each contributing to a more profound comprehension of ethical and philosophical principles enduring through centuries.
