Uproarious . . . [Phillips and Elledge] pair the abundant good humour of this book with a warning about the corrosive effects of conspiracy theories The TimesFrom the Satanic Panic to the anti-vaxx movement, the moon landing to Pizzagate, it s always been human nature to believe we re being lied to by the powers that be (and sometimes, to be fair, we absolutely are).But while it can be fun to indulge in a bit of Deep State banter on the group chat, recent times have shown us that some of these theories have taken on a life of their own - and in our dogged quest for the truth, it appears we might actually be doing it some damage.In Conspiracy, Tom Phillips and Jonn Elledge take us on a fascinating, insightful and often hilarious journey through conspiracy theories old and new, to try and answer a vital question for our times: how can we learn to log off the QAnon message boards, and start trusting hard evidence again?Praise for the Brief History series: Witty, entertaining and slightly distressing...

The final edition of the late Tom Phillipsâ ™s â ˜defining masterpiece of postmodernismâ ™. In 1966 the artist Tom Phillips discovered A Human Document (1892), an obscure Victorian romance by W.H. Mallock, and set himself the task of altering every page, by painting, collage or cut-up techniques, to create an entirely new version. Some of Mallockâ ™s original text remains intact and through the illustrated pages the character of Bill Toge, Phillipsâ ™s anti-hero, and his romantic plight emerges. First published in 1973, A Humument â “ as Phillips titled his altered book â “ quickly established itself as a cult classic. From that point, the artist worked towards a complete revision of his original, adding new pages in successive editions. That process is now finished. This final edition presents an entirely new and complete version of A Humument. It includes a revised Introduction by the late artist, in which he reflects on the 50-year project, and 92 new illustrated pages.

Does it seem like everything is on fire, and one disaster follows another? Here s a small comfort: you re not the first to feel that way. If there s one thing that people throughout history have agreed on, it s that history wasn t going to be around for much longer.This book is about the apocalypse, and how humans have always believed it to be very f*cking nigh. Across thousands of years, we ll meet weird cults, failed prophets and mass panics, holy warriors leading revolts in anticipation of the last days, and suburbanites waiting for aliens to rescue them from a doomed Earth. We ll journey back to the worst period to be alive , as the world reeled from a simultaneous pandemic and climate crisis. And we ll look to the future to ask the unnerving question: how might it all end?But it s also a book about how we live in a world where catastrophe is always looming - whether it s a madman with a nuclear button or the slow burn of environmental collapse. Because when we talk about the end of the world, what we really mean is the end of our world.

Is Deconstruction A Rebellion Against God or a Prophetic Movement Resisting a Distorted Gospel? In recent years, we ve seen an increase in the number of Christians who are deconstructing their faith—critically analyzing Christianity and the church and finding that it falls short. Many end up leaving behind the beliefs and commitments they formerly held. While many have written on how to reverse this trend, Scot McKnight and Tommy Preson Phillips believe that deconstruction isn’t a problem but a voice…And we need to listen to what it is saying to the church.Deconstructors are uncovering serious weaknesses in today s church—a renewed fundamentalism, toxic leadership, and legalistic thinking among them. Utilizing the results of recent studies by Pew, Gallup, and others, McKnight and Phillips take a careful look at what deconstructors are really saying, seeking to better understand why many are shedding elements of the faith and church of their youth but also engaging in a reconstruction process, finding Jesus afresh. They are losing their religion, but not losing Jesus.Filled with stories of those who have walked the path of deconstruction without losing their faith, Invisible Jesus is a prophetic call to examine ourselves and discern if the faith we practice and the church we belong to is really representative of the Jesus we follow. Each chapter looks at a different topic and offers biblical reflections that call for us to not only better listen, but to change how we live out our faith as followers of Jesus today.

Acclaimed author of On Kissing, Tickling and Being Bored and On KindnessA collection of literary essays like no other - exploring the deep connections between literature and psychoanalysis - from Britain s leading psychoanalyst.For Adam Phillips - as for Freud and many of his followers - poetry and poets have always held an essential place, as both precursors and unofficial collaborators in the psychoanalytic project. But the same has never held true in reverse. What, Phillips wonders, at the start of this deeply engaging book, has psychoanalysis meant for writers? And what can writing do for psychoanalysis?Phillips explores these questions through an exhilarating series of encounters with - and vivid readings of - writers he has loved, from Byron and Barthes to Shakespeare and Sebald. And in the process he demonstrates, through his own unique style, how literature and psychoanalysis can speak to and of each other. Adam Phillips is that rarest of phenomena, a trained clinician who is also a sublime writer - John Banville, author of The Sea Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed, dazzled.

Phillips O Brien is one of the keenest observers of modern strategy, and his new book takes a deep historical look at the evolution of warfare and its implications for conflicts like the ongoing one in Ukraine Francis Fukuyama--------------------War and power are two of the most-widely discussed issues in all of human history, and yet they are, time and again, misunderstood often disastrously so.Whilst we might think the outcome of war is determined by so-called Great Powers who dominate their opponents with their impressive size and military prowess, the reality of modern conflict, as renowned strategic historian Professor Phillips Payson O Brien demonstrates, is very different. He urges us instead to look for Full Spectrum Powers .For if we are considering how powerful a nation is and who will win a war, we need to think less about weapons, and more about the economies and societies that produce them; less about individual battles, and more about sustaining campaigns and alliances in which states operate.Using fascinating examples from the late 19th century to the present day, War and Power explains how misunderstanding war and power has led to terrible, even preventable conflicts such as the war in Ukraine and how more accurate analysis can help us consider the potential conflict between the US and China.War and Power provides a bold new way of understanding the dangerous world around us.-------------------- Phillips O Brien is always fantastic. Heterodox. He s pretty scathing, even about Biden administration policy . . . A really interesting book Paul Krugman, Distinguished Professor of Economics As Phillips O Brien points out in this important book, the character of war evolves, but some of the underlying truths, particularly from the second World War, are still very much with us.

A wise, generous book Washington PostFrom acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips, a meditation on what we must give up to feel more alive. To give up or not to give up?The question can feel inescapable but the answer is never simple. Giving up our supposed vices is one thing; giving up on life itself is quite another. One form of self-sacrifice feels positive, something to admire and aspire to, while the other is profoundly unsettling, if not actively undesirable. There are always, it turns out, both good and bad sacrifices, but it is not always clear beforehand which is which. We give something up because we believe we can no longer go on as we are. In this sense, giving up is a critical moment - an attempt to make a different future. In On Giving Up, acclaimed psychoanalyst Adam Phillips illuminates both the gaps and the connections between the many ways of giving up, and helps us to address the central question: what must we give up in order to feel more alive?

The essential guide to geopolitics in the modern Middle East  The Middle East is in crisis. The shocking events of the war in Gaza have rocked the entire region. More than a decade ago, the Arab Spring had raised hopes of a new beginning but instead ushered in a series of civil wars, coups, and even harsher autocracies. Tensions were exacerbated by the meddling of outsiders, as regional and global powers sought to further their interests. The United States, for so long the dominant actor, had stepped back, leaving a vacuum behind it to be fought over.  Christopher Phillips explores geopolitical rivalries in the region, and the major external powers vying for influence: Russia, China, the EU, and the US. Moving through ten key flashpoints, from Syria to Palestine, Phillips argues that the United States⠙ overextension after the Cold War, and retreat in the 2010s, has imbalanced the region. Today, the Middle East remains blighted by conflicts of unprecedented violence and a post-American scramble for power ⠓ leaving its fate in the balance.

A powerful exploration of the human capacity for renewal, as seen through Shakespeare and Freud  ⠜A compellingly readable and intelligent book. . . . Both authors write with impressive energy.⠝⠔Rowan Williams, New Statesman  In this fresh investigation, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips explore how the second chance has been an essential feature of the literary imagination and a promise so central to our existence that we try to reproduce it again and again. Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances⠔outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone.  Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter. Both Shakespeare and Freud believed that we can narrate our life stories as tales of transformation, of momentous shifts, constrained by time and place but often still possible. Ranging from The Comedy of Errors to The Winter⠙s Tale, and from D. W. Winnicott to Marcel Proust, the authors challenge readers to imagine how, as Phillips writes, ⠜it is the mending that matters.⠝

The arrival of its 500 passengers, the first generation of Caribbean migrants in the UK, was the initial step in the formation of a new identity: the black Briton.Fifty years later, Mike and Trevor Phillips spoke to those on the Windrush itself, as well as those who followed, to tell the story of Britain in the second half of the twentieth century through the eyes of the outsiders who became insiders.Now updated to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the shipâ ™s voyage and including reflections on its political and cultural legacy in 2023, Windrush is an essential record of this transformative era in British social history.

A couple is a conspiracy in search of a crime. Sex is often the closest they can get. All the present controversies about the family are really discussions about monogamy. About what keeps people together and why they should stay together. Now, in a book of 121 aphorisms, Adam Phillips asks why we all believe in monogamy, and why we find it so difficult to think about. Everyone knows that most people, however much they may love their partner, are capable of loving and desiring more than one person at a time. It may be reassuring, but it is in fact very demanding -- and often cruel -- to assume that only one person can give us what we want. At least in sexual matters, sharing seems to go deeply against the grain. Monogamy is so much taken for granted as the foundation of the family and of family values that, as with anything that seems essential, we are very wary of being critical of it. But, as Adam Phillips suggests, it is surely worth wondering why the faithful couple has such a hold on our imagination, and how it has come to be such an ideal.

Adam Phillips uses the idea of flirtation to explore the virtues of being uncommitted - to people, to ideas, to methods - and the pleasures of uncertainty. These buoyant essays promote a psychoanalysis with a light touch, a psychoanalysis for pleasure and curiosity. In On Flirtation, he has again deployed all his erudition and perception to beguiling effect . . . Adam Phillips may well be one of our greatest contemporary psychoanalytic thinkers.

CRIMINAL, nejoceňovanější kriminální komiks jedenadvacátého století, stvořený Edem Bubakerem a Seanem Phillipsem, konečně vychází ve své druhé luxusní vázané knize. Vítěz několika Eisnerových i Harveyho cen, včetně té za Nejlepší novou sérii za rok 2007 a pěti pro Nejlepšího scenáristu. Druhá kniha obsahuje tři samostatné příběhy - Zlou noc, Hříšníky a přelomový díl Poslední z nevinných - v jednom balení spolu s mnoha bonusy, články, kresbami, které vám dají nahlédnout do zákulisí vzniku, a komiksy, které ještě nikdy nebyly otištěny. Jacob Kurtz, kreslíř a bývalý padělatel, muž, který byl kdysi obviněný z vraždy vlastní manželky, a vůbec člověk s problematickou minulostí, se stává zajatcem ve svém vlastním domě - i zajatcem svých vlastních nevysvětlitelných reakcí. Připadá si, jako by se po něm natahovala nejasná, snově průhledná chapadla jeho vlastních dávných činů - a teprve ve chvíli, kdy ho pevně omotají a utáhnou se, Jacob zjistí, jak moc jsou skutečná. Tracy Lawless, válečný veterán a armádní dezertér, se v minulém CRIMINALu dostal do střetu s šéfem místního podsvětí - a kupodivu se mu povedlo při tom nezemřít. Ale happy end se nekoná: Tracy je totiž nucen odpracovávat si u Sebastiana Hydea dluh svého bratra… a jelikož je rozený Lawless, tak dokonce i taková zdánlivě jednoduchá funkce nemyslícího zabijáka se pro něj postupně stane něčím, čím dokáže zkomplikovat život sobě i všem okolo. Riley Richards, rodák z malého městečka Brookview, jemuž se díky šikovnému sňatku podařilo vyšplhat po sociálním žebříku mezi bohaté a mocné, vypadá na první pohled jako typický americký slušňák, který dostal všechno, po čem toužil: krásnou ženu, postavení, peníze… Jenže už druhý pohled odhalí, že to s tou krásnou ženou a penězi není tak horké, jak se zdá - a pokud se dopustíme i třetího, ještě pronikavějšího pohledu a podaří se nám proniknout za Rileyho charismatickou fasádu, spatříme, že se za ní plazí věci, které se k typickému americkému slušňákovi nehodí. Ani trochu.

Dylan je obyčejný, depresemi sužovaný vysokoškolák – dokud veškeré jeho představy o světě nezmění neúspěšná sebevražda… a nevyšle ho na nedobrovolnou dráhu maskovaného mstitele. Newyorské policii netrvá dlouho, než pochopí, že jim přímo vprostřed metropole maskovaný člověk zabíjí zločince, a sestaví vyšetřovací tým, který ho má chytit. A Dylan se mezitím propadá stále hlouběji do temnoty, do níž ho zavedla zvrácená smlouva uzavřená s démonem… „Zabíjej pro mě, nebo budeš zabit.“Poté, co si komiksoví tvůrci Ed Brubaker a Sean Phillips při svém putování temnými žánry vyzkoušeli noir realisticky špinavý (CRIMINAL) i hollywoodsky klasický (ZATMÍVAČKA), lovecraftovskou variaci (FATALE), špionážní retro (VELVET) i odvrácenou stranu superhrdinského mýtu (SLEEPER, INCOGNITO), upřeli svou pozornost na další způsob archetypálního vyprávění: příběh samozvaného mstitele, násilně bojujícího se zlem zakořeněným v lidské společnosti. Ale nečekejte další variaci na Charlese Bronsona v Přání smrti – Dylan, hlavní hrdina ZABIJ, NEBO BUDEŠ ZABIT, je o něco realističtější, o dost sofistikovanější… a o hodně problematičtější.

Od knihy Johna Locka Esej o lidském rozumu až po nejnovější vydání Diagnostického a statistického manuálu duševních poruch bylo na šílenství pohlíženo jako na směsici pochybených myšlenek podnícených vyšinutou a divokou imaginací. Tato kniha, jež je sborníkem esejů patnácti autorů, dokazuje, že vztah imaginace a patologických jevů je tak různorodý a komplikovaný jako lidská existence samotná. Imaginace má moc nejen reagovat na okolní svět, ale dokáže jej i přetvářet. A tato moc je jako dvousečná zbraň: je zároveň destruktivní i kreativní.Nedávné objevy v oblasti genetiky a věd zabývajících se nervovým systémem posílily empirický přístup v psychiatrii. V důsledku toho se poněkud zapomíná na subjektivní aspekty patologické zkušenosti. V této knize se tvrdí, že zkoumání imaginace a její patologie má ohromné zpoždění a že taková integrace bude velice plodná pro teorii i klinickou praxi. Jelikož imaginace může být kreativně integrační, ale i patologická, zdůrazňuje tato kniha holistický, terapeutický aspekt představivosti stejnou měrou jako její možné destruktivní následky. Kniha pojednává o filosofickém pohledu na patologickou imaginaci, vztahu patologické imaginace a psychodynamické tradice a představuje charakteristické případy patologické imaginace při onemocnění schizofrenií, u mladistvých, u umělců (Václav Nižinský) a v oblasti náboženství (svatý Antonín).

Entirely fresh, brilliantly insightful and utterly compelling James HollandChurchill. Hitler. Stalin. Mussolini. Roosevelt. Five of the most impactful leaders of WW2, each with their own individualistic and idiosyncratic approach to warfare. But if we want to understand their military strategy, we must first understand the strategist. In THE STRATEGISTS, Professor Phillips Payson O Brien shows how the views these five leaders forged in WW1 are crucial to understanding how they fought WW2. For example, Churchill s experiences of facing the German Army in France in 1916 made him unwilling to send masses of British soldiers back there in the 1940s, while Hitler s mistakes on the Eastern Front were influenced by his reluctance to accept that conditions had changed since his own time fighting. The implications of the power of leaders remain with us to this day: to truly understand what is happening in Ukraine, for example, requires us to know what has influenced the leaders involved. This is a history in which leaders â “ and their choices â “ matter. For better or worse.

War and power are two of the most-widely discussed issues in all of human history, and yet they are, time and again, misunderstood — often disastrously so. Whilst we might think the outcome of war is determined by so-called ‘Great Powers’ who dominate their opponents with their impressive size and military prowess, the reality of modern conflict, as renowned strategic historian Professor Phillips Payson O’Brien demonstrates, is very different. He urges us instead to look for ‘Full Spectrum Powers’.For if we are considering how powerful a nation is and who will win a war, we need to think less about weapons, and more about the economies and societies that produce them; less about individual battles, and more about sustaining campaigns and alliances in which states operate. Using fascinating examples from the late 19th century to the present day, War and Power explains how misunderstanding war and power has led to terrible, even preventable conflicts – such as the war in Ukraine – and how more accurate analysis can help us consider the potential conflict between the US and China. War and Power provides a bold new way of understanding the dangerous world around us.
