Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this bold and innovative new work, Adrian Moore poses the question of whether it is possible for ethical thinking to be grounded in pure reason. In order to understand and answer this question, he takes a refreshing and challenging look at Kant’s moral and religious philosophy. Identifying three Kantian Themes – morality, freedom and religion – and presenting variations on each of these themes in turn, Moore concedes that there are difficulties with the Kantian view that morality can be governed by ‘pure’ reason. He does however defend a closely related view involving a notion of reason as socially and culturally conditioned. In the course of doing this, Moore considers in detail, ideas at the heart of Kant’s thought, such as the categorical imperative, free will, evil, hope, eternal life and God. He also makes creative use of the ideas in contemporary philosophy, both within the analytic tradition and outside it, such as ‘thick’ ethical concepts, forms of life and ‘becoming those that we are’. Throughout the book, a guiding precept is that to be rational is to make sense, and that nothing is of greater value to use than making sense.

Book excerpt: California cultists, duplicitous damsels in distress, and dangerously high stakes conspire against Joe Quinn, a private eye who is beginnnig to feel more like a knight-errant Joe Quinn is cut adrift. He’s lost everything. His girl. His job. His place in the universe. A security head for a casino in Reno just can’t afford to have a gambling problem. Life takes a turn from tragic to strange when Quinn finds himself on the doorsteps of a religious cult’s tower in the remote California hills. Quinn hitched a ride from Reno but never thought he’d end up in a place like this. But a gambler has to play the hand he’s dealt. When one of the cultists asks Quinn to check on a man named Patrick O’Gorman and slides a not so small amount of money in his jacket, well, that’s just the sort of hand Quinn has been looking for. Thing is, Quinn soon finds out, O’Gorman disappeared under bizarre circumstances several years ago. For reasons he doesn’t entirely understand, perhaps for the sake of having a purpose, Quinn begins a lurid quest to uncover the truth. What he finds out instead is that there are just as many crazies outside the walls of a cultist tower as there are inside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHAKESPEARE IS FOR EVERYONE What was Hamlet's religion? Why did Othello believe Iago? Was Lear really more sinned against than sinning? Do you know a little about William Shakespeare - his characters, plots and language - but want to enjoy and appreciate his work more? Do you think Shakespeare is difficult or daunting, or just not for you? If so - 'O, let my book be then the eloquence...' to show you how wonderful and inspiring Shakespeare truly is. Thought-provoking and provocative about what Shakespeare wrote and why, 'Noble In Reason, Infinite In Faculty' explores the major themes and experiences of his life and times: religion and beliefs; kingship and rule; love and desire; and family bonds and relationships. His views on these subjects found a sublime voice in his work: "What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty" - are Hamlet's words that could easily describe his own creator. Shakespeare is for everyone - because everyone is in his plays and poems, just as much today as when he wrote them four centuries ago. William Shakespeare is perennially popular, but the 450th anniversary of his birth in 2014, and the 400th anniversary of his death in 2016, have both lead to an unprecedented interest in his life and works. There are many people with a little knowledge of Shakespeare who would like to know more - perhaps to improve their understanding and enjoyment before they go to a performance. 'Noble In Reason, Infinite In Faculty' offers an insight into the major themes the audience or reader will encounter in Shakespeare, put into the context in which they were written and first performed. 'Noble In Reason, Infinite In Faculty' aims to show how Shakespeare is accessible to, and enjoyable for everyone, and it employs a liberal use of quotations throughout to highlight the beauty and power of Shakespeare's language and wordplay. Each chapter can be read as a stand-alone reference to its particular topic; all explore plot, character development, language and literary devices used, and engage the reader into thinking in more depth about what they have seen on stage and read on the page. Bridging the gap between books on Shakespeare for complete beginners, and highly academic titles, 'Noble In Mind, Infinite In Faculty' has a smooth narrative flow, is written in clear language, and eschews the dryness and overly-technical approach of many academic literary critiques. This above all - 'Noble In Reason, Infinite In Faculty' aims to show and celebrate the piece of work that is William Shakespeare.

Book excerpt: Hamlet is a twelve year-old boy who hangs out in cemeteries and has a black horse called Nightmare. Yorick is alive and well and teaching the gloomy little prince how to play with words. Young Hamlet worries that he will never be a good king because he thinks too much and doesn't like killing things or grabbing more land. Hamlet debates theology with Horatio and goes swimming with Ophelia but spends most of his time learning how to be a wise fool before Yorick mysteriously dies. Prince Hamlet is at once a stand-alone set of stories about a boy whose magical skills are intellectual and verbal and it is a canny foreshadowing of the major events and ideas in Shakespeare's most famous play. It turns out that Yorick is-as Harold Bloom observed-both Hamlet's true mother and his father.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading paleontologist J. David Archibald explores the rich history of visual metaphors for biological order from ancient times to the present and their influence on humans' perception of their place in nature, offering uncommon insight into how we went from standing on the top rung of the biological ladder to embodying just one tiny twig on the tree of life. He begins with the ancient but still misguided use of ladders to show biological order, moving then to the use of trees to represent seasonal life cycles and genealogies by the Romans. The early Christian Church then appropriated trees to represent biblical genealogies. The late eighteenth century saw the tree reclaimed to visualize relationships in the natural world, sometimes with a creationist view, but in other instances suggesting evolution. Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859) exorcised the exclusively creationist view of the "tree of life," and his ideas sparked an explosion of trees, mostly by younger acolytes in Europe. Although Darwin's influence waned in the early twentieth century, by midcentury his ideas held sway once again in time for another and even greater explosion of tree building, generated by the development of new theories on how to assemble trees, the birth of powerful computing, and the emergence of molecular technology. Throughout Archibald's far-reaching study, and with the use of many figures, the evolution of "tree of life" iconography becomes entwined with our changing perception of the world and ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines and circumvents two serious problems that appear to attach to Kant’s moral philosophy, or more precisely to the model of rational agency that underlies that moral philosophy: the problem of experiential incongruence and the problem of misdirected moral attention. The book’s central contention is that both these problems can be sidestepped. In order to demonstrate this, it argues for an entirely novel reading of Kant’s views on action and moral motivation. In addressing the two main problems in Kant’s moral philosophy, the book explains how the first problem arises because the central elements of Kant’s theory of action seem not to square with our lived experience of agency, and moral agency in particular. For example, the idea that moral deliberation invariably takes the form of testing personal policies against the Categorical Imperative seems at odds with the phenomenology of such reasoning, as does the claim that all our actions proceed from explicitly adopted general policies, or maxims. It then goes on to discuss the second problem showing how it is a result of Kant’s apparent claim that when an agent acts from duty, her reason for doing so is that her maxim is lawlike. This seems to put the moral agent’s attention in the wrong place: on the nature of her own maxims, rather than on the world of other people and morally salient situations. The book shows how its proposed novel reading of Kant’s views ultimately paints an unfamiliar but appealing picture of the Kantian good-willed agent as much more embedded in and engaged with the world than has traditionally been supposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central Works of Philosophy is a major multi-volume collection of essays on the core texts of the Western philosophical tradition. From Plato's Republic to the present day, the five volumes range over 2,500 years of philosophical writing covering the best, most representative, and most influential work of some of our greatest philosophers. Each essay has been specially commissioned and provides an overview of the work, clear and authoritative exposition of its central ideas, and an assessment of the work's importance. Together these books provide an unrivaled companion for studying and reading philosophy, one that introduces the reader to the masterpieces of the western philosophical canon. This volume covers the central texts in the history of analytic philosophy from Quine's Word and Object (1960) to the present day. The texts range over political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics and the philosophies of language, mind and logic and represent some of the most important philosophical work of the last forty years. Students and non-specialists who may find the technicality of some of the texts forbidding will welcome the clarity of exposition and exegesis that the essays provide. Taken together the essays provide both a map and compass for the current philosophical landscape and will prove a valuable resource not only for undergraduate and postgraduate philosophy students but for teachers and researchers in allied disciplines who need an understanding of the preoccupations of contemporary philosophy.
