This volume documents the full tradition of criticism of The Merchant of Venice ranging from 1775 to 1939.The Merchant of Venice has always been regarded as one of Shakespeare's most interesting plays, though it poses many challenges due to what is seen as its inherent anti-Semitism.Before the 19th century critical reaction is relatively fragmentary, but between then and the late 20th century the critical tradition reveals the power of the play to evoke emotion in the theatre.Since the middle of the 20th century, reactions to the drama have been influenced by the Nazi destruction of European Jewry. An extensive introduction charts the reactions to the play up to the beginning of the 21st century and reflects changing reactions to prejudice in this period.Material by a variety of critics appears here for the first time since initial publication, including from Malone, Hazlitt, Jameson, Heine, Knight, Lewes, Halliwell-Phillips, Furnivall, Irving, Ruskin, Swinburne, Masefield, Gollancz and Quiller-Couch. This revised edition features a new supplementary introduction by Gary Watt surveying and analyzing trends in criticism since the volume was first published in 2005, including a focus on:* Jewishness and anti-Semitism and the character of Shylock* mercantile, financial, risk, insurance, usury and credit* trial, law, rhetoric, equity and justice* gender, queer themes, cross-dressing and the Antonio-Bassanio relationship* race and colonialism.

'Tradition or remnant?'
Tradition and remnant can be seen as two different concepts. Tradition refers to practices, beliefs, or customs that are passed down through generations and are actively maintained and celebrated within a culture or community. On the other hand, a remnant refers to something that remains from the past, often as a surviving trace or fragment of what once was. While tradition is actively upheld and passed down, a remnant may be a leftover or residual aspect of a culture or practice that has faded or disappeared over time.

What is tradition criticism?
Tradition criticism is a method of biblical analysis that seeks to understand the historical and cultural context in which a particular biblical text was written. It examines the traditions and beliefs of the community that produced the text, as well as the influences and sources that may have shaped the text. Tradition criticism helps scholars to better understand the meaning and significance of the biblical text within its original context, and how it may have been interpreted and used by the community for which it was intended. This approach is valuable for gaining insights into the development and transmission of religious traditions and beliefs.

Islam's Quantum Question : Reconciling Muslim Tradition and Modern Science
In secular Europe the veracity of modern science is almost always taken for granted.Whether they think of the evolutionary proofs of Darwin or of spectacular investigation into the boundaries of physics conducted by CERN's Large Hadron Collider, most people assume that scientific enquiry goes to the heart of fundamental truths about the universe.Yet elsewhere, science is under siege. In the USA, Christian fundamentalists contest whether evolution should be taught in schools at all. And in Muslim countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Pakistan and Malaysia, a mere 15 per cent of those recently surveyed believed Darwin's theory to be 'true' or 'probably true'.This thoughtful and passionately argued book contends absolutely to the contrary: not only that evolutionary theory does not contradict core Muslim beliefs, but that many scholars, from Islam's golden age to the present, adopted a worldview that accepted evolution as a given.Guessoum suggests that the Islamic world, just like the Christian, needs to take scientific questions - 'quantum questions' - with the utmost seriousness if it is to recover its true heritage and integrity. In its application of a specifically Muslim perspective to important topics like cosmology, divine action and evolution, the book makes a vital contribution to debate in the disputed field of 'science and religion'.

Materialism and Social Inquiry in the Continental Tradition in Philosophy
The continental tradition in philosophy has gotten more “materialistic” over the last two hundred years.This has resulted from a combination of some very specific moves with regard to the epistemological parameters of understanding and the assertion that ideas may have material force in history.Therefore, the materialism within the continental tradition is not a materiality of being, but a materiality of understanding and action.Such an inquiry opens up space between the activities of sensation and the mental faculty of cognition. ‘I think, therefore I am,’ is not an empirical statement, but a statement of cognition.It is assumed that this distinction is at the core of continental philosophy.Cognition is always interpretive. Experience is the start of cognition, but not its final product.Our cognitions cannot be separated from our experience of the physical, social, and cultural environment around us.The symbolic nature of language reinforces the interpretive nature of our thoughts and ideas.Our language is, therefore, always projecting an implicit image of the world.Language is, therefore, always political. The materiality of these cognitive world-views is manifested in two ways.First, in their formation. They are the products of sensual contact with the world.Second, in their effects. They move people. It is a picture of the world which serves to shape the content and character of human behavior.Whether we want to call these phantoms of the mind, world-view, ideas, thoughts, cognitions, or any other term, the dual character of their materiality is secure.This work examines the threads materialist ideas running through the efforts of some major authors in the continental tradition in philosophy.A model of materialism is constructed in Chapter One and used to assess the materialist elements in works from Kant, Marx, Weber, Nietzsche, and contemporary poststructuralism.The work demonstrates the evolution of materialist thinking within the tradition and asserts an evolving and developing articulation of materialism in relation to the thoughts and activities of human beings.
