Summary

"The Basis of Morality" by Arthur Schopenhauer presents a profound inquiry into the underpinnings of ethical behavior, challenging the Kantian premise of moral acts grounded in rationality. Schopenhauer argues that true morality stems from compassion, asserting that the capacity to empathize with the suffering of others is the sole source of good. Through rigorous analysis and critique, he explores the limitations of egoism and the concept of justice, ultimately proposing a moral philosophy that prioritizes the inherent value of all living beings. This philosophical treatise invites readers to reconsider the essence of moral actions and the nature of compassion's role in ethical life.

    "A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
 
 
 
How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? 
 
 
 
In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. 
 
 
 
Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help listeners faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues—and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what listeners should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. 
 
 
 
Listeners will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence.

    Ever tried reading Kant and felt your brain melt into a puddle of transcendental confusion? You're not alone! "Kant You Not" is the hilarious antidote to philosophical pretension that explains Immanuel Kant's revolutionary ideas without inducing narcolepsy. 
In this irreverent guide to history's most unnecessarily complicated philosopher, author Sophia Blackwell translates Kantian gibberish into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his impenetrable prose, bizarre personal habits, and occasionally absurd conclusions. 
You'll discover: 
Why a man who never left his hometown somehow revolutionized Western philosophy 
How Kant needed 800 pages to say "we can't know things as they really are" 
Why he thought lying to axe murderers was morally wrong (seriously) 
How to fake Kantian knowledge at dinner parties without reading the originals 
Why we're still talking about this guy 200+ years later (Stockholm syndrome) 
Perfect for philosophy students suffering through assigned readings, professors who secretly hate teaching Kant, or anyone who enjoys watching brilliant ideas get roasted. "Kant You Not" proves that philosophy can be educational AND entertaining—a concept that would probably make Kant himself deeply uncomfortable. 
Buy now and transform your philosophical confusion into laughter! No prior knowledge required—just a willingness to question everything, especially sentences that run for more than half a page. 
Part of the bestselling "Cogito Ergo Nope!" series that makes philosophy accessible without being condescending and funny without sacrificing accuracy.
