  "This is the Way." In Star Wars and Philosophy Strikes Back, the Way wends through entirely new adventures in the Star Wars galaxy far, far away: not only the films of the Skywalker saga, but also Rebels, The Bad Batch, Rogue One, Solo, and The Mandalorian. Like the creators of these films and television series, the authors in this book harness the magical mix of humor, action, empathy, characterization, adventure, and fan service that constitutes Star Wars. 
   
   
   
  In addition to thorny metaphysical questions about the nature of time and free will, this volume highlights the staggering cultural impact of George Lucas's universe. The newest Star Wars narratives tackle ethnicity on alien worlds and how love and sex with a droid like L3-37 would work ("It works"). The connections between the Separatist Freedom Movement and the struggle for social justice in the USA in the twenty-first century are brought to light. And philosophical second looks at Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi prove there is much more to this controversial entry in the Skywalker saga. 
   
   
   
  Thirty-six philosophers, both sages and scoundrels among them, examine the full range of deep questions throughout the Star Wars chronology—from The Phantom Menace to The Rise of Skywalker and beyond. "They have spoken."

  Lyrics & Lines by "Carolus"

  Written under the pseudonym "Carolus", Lyrics & Lines is a book of poems written, probably circa 1890 - 1900, as a gift to one he had loved and lost. 
  Love, Humour, Moralisation and the Macabre all come together in a most readable and enjoyable manner.  
   Who he was, when and exactly where he lived and his age at the time he wrote this book are unknown. That he was a modest man can be gleaned from his description of himself as "..a poetaster".  
  Beautifully written; these poems should not only appeal to lovers of poetry but to those who would never normally consider reading verse.

  The Life Worth Living -...

  More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said: "let there be a law that no deformed child shall live." This idea is alive and well today. During the past century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cognitively disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by investigating the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy. 
   
   
   
  Joel Michael Reynolds argues that this history demonstrates a fundamental mischaracterization of the meaning of disability, thanks to the conflation of lived experiences of disability with those of pain and suffering. Building on decades of activism and scholarship in the field, Reynolds shows how longstanding views of disability are misguided and unjust, and he lays out a vision of what an anti-ableist moral future requires. 
   
   
   
  The Life Worth Living is the first sustained examination of disability through the lens of the history of moral philosophy and phenomenology, and it demonstrates how lived experiences of disability demand a far richer account of human flourishing, embodiment, community, and politics in philosophical inquiry and beyond.

  In the shadow of violence

  Mohammad Fazeli has summarized the book *"Violence and Social Orders"* in five parts.    This book, one of the final works by Douglass North, was written after his 90th birthday in collaboration with Barry Weingast, a political science professor at Stanford University, and John Wallis, an economic historian. It offers a unique perspective on the history of development.    The book examines the theory of violence and social orders in several developing countries. While it provides a historical interpretation of the transformations in European societies, the authors use this historical understanding to critique conventional development policies. In the final chapter, they discuss the theoretical implications of this alternative view of history.    The book introduces distinct theoretical hypotheses, making it highly engaging for those interested in political and economic development.    This work challenges many of the conventional teachings on political and economic development in Iran.
