Ethics

Immanuel Kant

Translator Thomas Kingsmill Abbott, William Hastie

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "Ethics," Immanuel Kant presents a revolutionary framework for moral philosophy, articulating the principles of deontological ethics, which emphasize duty and the inherent dignity of individuals. Written with clarity and rigor, this seminal work delves into the nature of moral imperatives, arguing that actions are morally right only when they can be universally applied. Kant's literary style is characterized by precise language and logical exposition, situating his ideas within the broader Enlightenment context that sought to ground morality in rationality rather than tradition or religious dogma. Immanuel Kant, a prominent figure of the German Enlightenment, profoundly influenced modern philosophy through his exploration of ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology. His background in rationalist thought and critical engagement with both empirical and metaphysical paradigms led him to challenge existing moral frameworks, emphasizing the role of autonomy and reason in ethical decision-making. His commitment to principles that transcend mere consequence showcases a significant evolution from utilitarian thought, anchoring contemporary discussions on moral philosophy. "Ethics" is an essential read for anyone interested in moral philosophy, offering deep insights into the importance of duty and moral law. Kant's articulation of the categorical imperative remains profoundly relevant, providing a timeless guide for ethical reasoning in today's complex moral landscape. Engage with Kant's ideas to enrich your understanding of ethics and the foundations of moral responsibility.

The Conservative Case for Trump

Phyllis Schlafly, Ed Martin,...

From Phyllis Schlafly, the woman whose celebrated classic A Choice, Not an Echo upended the 1964 Republican Convention, comes a persuasive new argument for a surprising conservative choice: Donald Trump. 
For the first time since 1980, a significant number of Republicans are considering abandoning their party’s nominee. This is a grave mistake, Schlafly says, because a Donald Trump “radical redirection” could actually set America back on the path of Reagan’s conservative revolution. 
In The Conservative Case for Trump, Schlafly and coauthors Ed Martin and Brett M. Decker set aside the circus of the campaign and zero in on eight defining points of the Trump agenda to convince Republican voters that Donald Trump—improbable as it may seem—is the true conservative they’ve been waiting for.

Discovering Characters - Think...

M.A. Lee

Discovering Characters is like investigating a house we want to buy.
No, I’m serious. Characters have an exterior façade that we comment upon as we drive past. Through the windows we catch glimpses of interior lives.
As writers, we want to capture individual characters and save them from the cookie-cutter boxy stereotypes. We delve into their interior rooms for glimpses of weighty baggage. Finding their backstory is a search through attics and cellars, storage closets and garages. Characters hide their pain and fears, painting them over and adding distracting artwork.
Discovering Characters helps writers find the exteriors and interiors, public and private. We’ll dig around the foundations and climb to the roof. We’ll explore the open rooms and the storage closets. We’ll peek into rooms inhabited by such characters as diverse as Elizabeth and Darcy, the Iron Man, Aragorn and Frodo, Travis McGee, Medea, Macbeth, and Nanny McPhee.
Five areas comprise this guidebook.
1. Starting Points ~ templates and character interviews
2. Classifications ~ common and uncommon ways to discover characters
3. Relationships ~ couples, teams, allies, enemies, mentors, etc.
4. Special Touches ~ progressions, transgressions, and transitions for character arcs
5. Significant Lists ~ archetypal characters and much more

World War II in 1940: The...

Editors Charles River

One of the most famous people in the world came to tour the city of Paris for the first time on June 28, 1940. Over the next three hours, he rode through the city’s streets, stopping to tour L’Opéra Paris. He rode down the Champs-Élysées toward the Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower, where he had his picture taken. After passing through the Arc de Triomphe, he toured the Pantheon and old medieval churches, though he did not manage to see the Louvre or the Palace of Justice. Heading back to the airport, he told his staff, “It was the dream of my life to be permitted to see Paris. I cannot say how happy I am to have that dream fulfilled today.” Four years after his tour, Adolf Hitler would order the city’s garrison commander, General Dietrich von Choltitz, to destroy Paris, warning his subordinate that the city "must not fall into the enemy's hand except lying in complete debris." Of course, Paris was not destroyed before the Allies liberated it, but it would take more than 4 years for them to wrest control of France from Nazi Germany after they took the country by storm in about a month in 1940. 
The surrender of more than 1,200,000 isolated troops followed quickly in June 1940, yet in the midst of this disaster, the Allies contrived one coup that took even the victorious Wehrmacht aback: the evacuation of over 300,000 soldiers from the port of Dunkirk. This escape, hailed as “miraculous” at the time, provided England with a solid defensive force, the French with the kernel of a “Free French” army for the future, and the Western Allies with an invaluable boost to their morale during one of the war's darkest moments. With the clarity of historical hindsight, events proved Churchill correct. Operation Dynamo, as the British named the Dunkirk evacuation mission, bolstered British morale and defenses sufficiently to keep the “Sceptered Isle” in the war.
