Synopsis

In "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals," David Hume presents a seminal exploration of moral philosophy grounded in empiricism and human sentiment. This work marks a significant development from his earlier writings, such as "A Treatise of Human Nature," where Hume meticulously dissects human emotions and their influence on our ethical judgments. Through a nuanced and elegant prose style, Hume argues that morality is rooted in the impressions of human experience and that reason serves merely as a slave to our passions. Engaging with the philosophical context of the Enlightenment, Hume distinguishes between the moral and the natural sciences, emphasizing the subjective nature of moral evaluations while still acknowledging their universal applicability across cultures. David Hume (1711–1776), a pivotal figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, was deeply influenced by the sceptical traditions of Descartes and Locke, as well as by the burgeoning empirical approaches to knowledge. His philosophical inquiries were often prompted by his dissatisfaction with the rationalism of his time, leading him to explore how feelings and sociability inform our moral frameworks. The social context of 18th-century Europe, marked by shifting paradigms of thought, significantly influenced Hume's quest to establish a more grounded and human-centered moral philosophy. "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals" is essential reading for anyone interested in ethics, philosophy, and the foundations of moral reasoning. Hume's insights into the interplay between emotion and reason in moral judgments not only challenge traditional views but also form the basis for contemporary discussions in moral philosophy. This work invites readers to reflect on their own moral principles and the human experiences that shape them, making it a timeless contribution to philosophical literature.

    Susan L. Shirk, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State responsible for China, knows many of today's Chinese rulers personally and has studied them for three decades. She offers invaluable insight into how they think—and what they fear. In this revealing book, you will see the world through the eyes of men like President Hu Jintao and former President Jiang Zemin. We discover a fragile communist regime desperate to survive in a society turned upside down by miraculous economic growth and a stunning new openness to the greater world. Theirs is a regime afraid of its own citizens, and this fear motivates many of their decisions when dealing with the US and other foreign nations. In particular, the fervent nationalism of the Chinese people, combined with their passionate resentment of Japan, and attachment to Taiwan, have made relations with these two regions a minefield. It is here, Shirk concludes, in the tangled interactions between Japan, Taiwan, China, and the United States, that the greatest danger lies. 
     
     
     
    Shirk argues that rising powers such as China tend to provoke wars in large part because other countries mishandle them. Unless we understand China's brittle internal politics and the fears that motivate its leaders, we face the very real possibility of avoidable conflict with China.

    Most bereavement materials are focused on the first year of the grieving experience. We have often been asked, "What do you have for after the first anniversary?" In response to this need, Doug Manning has written this book, Grief's Second Mile: Life Beyond the First Year. 
    Grief's Second Mile addresses some of the specific losses such as the death after extended illness, death of a child, suicide, violent or unresolved deaths, and why those may lengthen or stall the person's ability to approach the necessary transitions of grief in a healthy or complete manner. He provides insights and suggestions for developing ways to express feelings and cope with the loss and how to seek the help that is vital. Doug focuses on allowing the reader to feel "normal" in their search and to discover the answers that are right for them. 
    A valuable resource for those families who are struggling or would appreciate something that speaks to their grieving beyond the first year.

    From one of Mexico's most exciting young writers, a cosmopolitan and candid essay collection exploring life in cities across the world and reflecting on the transformative importance of literature in understanding ourselves 
     
     
     
    In ten intimate essays, Daniel Saldaña París explores the cities he has lived in, each one home to a new iteration of himself. In Mexico City he's a young poet eager to prove himself. In Montreal—an opioid addict desperate for relief. In Madrid—a lonely student seeking pleasure in grotesque extremes. These now diverging, now coalescing selves raise questions: Where can we find authenticity? How do we construct the stories that define us? What if our formative memories are closer to fiction than truth? 
     
     
     
    Saldaña París turns to literature and film, poetry and philosophy for answers. The result is a hybrid of memoir and criticism, "a sensory work, full of soundscapes, filth, planes, closed spaces, open vastness" (El País).
