This book explores a heretofore unremarked linkage between Bernard Shaw, the twentieth-century French thinker Paul Ricoeur, and Jesus of Nazareth. The ties that bind them are a foundational interest in the social teachings of the Nazarene and their use of a shared dialectics with respect to living the kind of compassionate life that holds out the promise in our contemporary world of achieving something approximating universal wellness on a healthy planet at peace with itself. This work argues that the three principal subjects of the study―independently of one another―used the same dialectical method to reach the same dialectically derived conclusion about how humans can live redemptively in a fractured world.

Free Download Bernard Shaw, Automata, Robots, and Artificial Intelligence
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031492250 | 209 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 15 MB
​This project is the first to explore how Bernard Shaw intersects constructively with automata, robots and artificial intelligence (AI). Shaw was born in the golden age of the automaton. His Bible on the Life Force and Creative Evolution, Back to Methuselah, was written when Karel and Josef Čapek coined the word "robot." Shaw’s life ran in parallel with the rise of AI, and the big names in AI were his contemporaries. Moreover, empirical analyses of Shavian texts and images using AI uncovers possibilities for new interpretations, demonstrating how future renditions of his works may make use of these advanced technologies to broaden Shaw’s audience, readership and scholarship.

English | 2018 | ISBN: 3319715127, 3030100677 | PDF | pages: 245 | 2.1 mb
This book traces the effects of materiality – including money and its opposite, poverty – on the psychical lives of George Bernard Shaw and his characters. While this study focuses on the protagonists of the five novels Shaw wrote in the late 1870s and early 1880s, it also explores how materialism, feeling, and emotion are linked throughout his entire canon. At the same time, it demonstrates how Shaw’s conceptions of human subjectivity parallel those of two of his contemporaries, Sigmund Freud and Georg Simmel. In particular, this book explores how theories of so-called ‘marginal economics’ influence fin de siècle thought about human psychology and the sociology of the modern metropolis, particularly London.

Free Download Bernard Shaw: Reimagining Women and Ireland, 1892-1914
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031325885 | 247 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2 MB
Shaw emerged as a playwright in the politically charged environment of 1892, for both female suffrage and Irish independence. His plays quickly advocated for societal changes with regard to women’s roles, while expanding this advocacy into considerations of Ireland. Shaw’s engagement with marriage and union as a personal contract with nationhood have never before been considered as a methodology with which to view his work. This book demonstrates that Shaw was deeply engaged with and committed to the Irish question and to social and gender issues.
