Sinopse

"Ancient Moral Advice" explores humanity's enduring quest for ethical guidance across cultures and millennia. Delving into historical manuscripts and scholarly analyses, the book examines virtue ethics in ancient Greece, duty-based ethics in Roman society, and communal harmony in early Asian philosophies. Modern readers will find relevance in how ancient civilizations codified morality, offering insights into navigating contemporary challenges. The book reveals universally valued principles like justice, compassion, wisdom, and courage that recur across diverse societies. One intriguing insight is the ancient Greek concept of eudaimonia, or flourishing, achieved through character development. Another is Roman Stoicism's emphasis on duty and acceptance, exemplified by Seneca and Marcus Aurelius. The book progresses from moral philosophy's historical development to detailed examinations of Greek virtue ethics, Roman Stoicism, and Asian moral frameworks, ultimately connecting these traditions and exploring their modern applications. This book is unique for its comparative approach, identifying shared values across different cultural contexts and integrating a practical outlook. By analyzing ancient moral systems, the book demonstrates how historical ethical frameworks can enrich current ethical discussions. It distinguishes itself by offering a systematic analysis of moral systems from different cultures, identifying both shared values and unique perspectives.

    Jacques Lacan is now regarded as a major psychoanalytical theorist alongside Freud and Jung, although recognition has been delayed by fierce arguments over his ideas. Written by a leading Lacanian analyst, "Introducing Lacan" guides the reader through his innovations, including his work on paranoia, his addition of structural linguistics to Freudianism and his ideas on the infant 'mirror phase'. It also traces Lacan's influence in postmodern critical thinking on art, literature, philosophy and feminism. This is the ideal introduction for anyone intrigued by Lacan's ideas but discouraged by the complexity of his writings.

    The rights and responsibilities of the individual are at the center of today's armed conflicts in a way that they have never been before. This process of "individualization," which challenges the primacy of the sovereign state, is driven by normative developments related to human rights that have elevated human-centric conceptions of security and created a new class of international crimes, as well as by technological and strategic developments that can both empower individuals as military actors and enable either the targeting or protection of particular individuals. 
     
     
     
    The Individualization of War examines the status of individuals in contemporary armed conflict in three main capacities: as subject to violence but deserving of protection; as liable to harm because of their responsibility for attacks on others; and as agents who can be held accountable for the perpetration of crimes. This book presents a novel conceptualization of the phenomenon of individualization, including how it is both practiced and contested. It then convenes a set of leading thinkers from the fields of moral philosophy, international law, and international relations to further our understanding of not only how individualization is manifest in armed conflict—in theory and in practice—but also how it generates tensions and challenges for today's scholars and practitioners.

    "A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them." —Publishers Weekly 
     
     
     
    Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
     
     
     
    Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation. 
     
     
     
    Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice? 
     
     
     
    Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.
