Pity the children (Thomas, 2(apple) Keturah, 9 months) of unemployed Matthew Vole, the supposed hero-narrator of this ""spectacular breakthrough novel of a new male sexuality"": the father as a single parent (""I am a mother""). Matthew's basic situation could surely have produced a worthy, if trendy, exploration, but Matt is not exactly your typical wife-deserted father. Right off the bat you start not quite trusting Matt when he tells you how he gives breast-hungry Keturah something lower down to suck. And then there are his ideas on childrearing (any discipline is ""fascism"")--and his various combinations of threesome sex and cocaine-snorting with or without infants included. With such sicko-ness at work, you quickly stop listening to Matt's whining about the impossibility of caring for children alone or his declarations of deep feminist understanding--and you're not exactly surprised when he rapes a live-in babysitter or almost kills the kids. If first-novelist Miner merely intended to use this father-as-mother premise as an excuse for some kinky porno, he deserves only the utmost scorn. On the other hand, if he sincerely believes that gonzo Matt could be used to awaken the world to the horrors of mothering, he deserves the utmost sympathy and immediate intensive care.

Mother's Day: A novel

Miner, Robert

R. Marek Publishers

Is knowing a purely passive reception of something concrete outside the mind, or when we know something, are we creating something too?Spanning more than 500 years of philosophical enquiry from the Middle Ages to the present day, Robert Miner clarifies modern philosophical conceptions of knowing as making or constructing, and contrasts this view with the theological understanding of knowing as a participation in divine creation.This study demonstrates how 'creative knowledge' has its roots in the theologies of Thomas Aquinas and Nicholas Cusanus. It explores the multiple ways in which this idea influenced the architects of modern philosophy, most notably Francis Bacon, René Descartes and Thomas Hobbes, despite their secular stance. Miner contends that, well in advance of Kant, one of these thinkers, Gaimbattista Vico provided a remarkably succinct formulation of the metaphysical and epistemological core of modernity in his principle verum et factum convertuntur: 'the true and the made are convertible'.In Truth in the Making, Robert Miner challenges the standard assumption that Kant was the first thinker to conceive of knowing as constructive activity, and shows how contemporary theology can reclaim a concept of knowing that is both creative and participant in divine wisdom.

The Summa Theologiae is Thomas Aquinas' undisputed masterwork, and it includes his thoughts on the elemental forces in human life. Feelings such as love, hatred, pleasure, pain, hope and despair were described by Aquinas as 'passions', representing the different ways in which happiness could be affected. But what causes the passions? What impact do they have on the person who suffers them? Can they be shaped and reshaped in order to better promote human flourishing? The aim of this book is to provide a better understanding of Aquinas' account of the passions. It identifies the Aristotelian influences that lie at the heart of the Summa Theologiae, and it enters into a dialogue with contemporary thinking about the nature of emotion. The study argues that Aquinas' work is still important today, and shows why for Aquinas both the understanding and attainment of happiness requires prolonged reflection on the passions.

Nietzsche's Gay Science (Edinburgh Critical Guides to Nietzsche)

From philosophy undergraduates showing off in murky bars to Chidi's unforgettable monologue in TV sensation The Good Place, The Gay Science is one Nietzsche's most-quotable texts. But what do those soundbites actually mean? Robert Miner attends closely to the rhymes and aphorisms that make up Nietzsche's The Gay Science - and make it so appealing yet so frequently misunderstood. Tracking Nietzsche's mixture of subtle argumentation, memorable images and provocative rhetoric, Miner opens up multiple ways of interpreting the text and applying it to our own circumstances. Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche, Miner begins with the 1882 edition - the first to announce the 'death of God', amor fati and eternal recurrence. He also illuminates the significance of Nietzsche's decision to publish a second edition of The Gay Science in 1887, with a fifth book, 40 aphorisms composed after Zarathustra, a new preface and an appendix of songs.

This book is a historically informed and textually grounded study of the connections between Montaigne, the inventor of the essay, and Nietzsche, who thought of himself as an “attempter.”   In conversation with the Essais, Nietzsche developed key themes of his oeuvre: experimental scepticism, gay science, the quest for drives beneath consciousness, the free spirit, the affirmation of sexuality and the body, and the meaning of greatness.Robert Miner explores these connections in the context of Nietzsche's reverence for Montaigne―a reverence he held for no other author―and asks what Montaigne would make of Nietzsche. The question arises from Nietzsche himself, who both celebrates Montaigne and includes him among a small number of authors to whose judgment he is prepared to submit.
