  • Bad Things - The Nature and Normative Role of Harm - cover

    Bad Things - The Nature and...

    Neil Feit

    Bad Things addresses various philosophical questions about the nature and moral relevance of harm. The most basic question is this: under what conditions does an event harm a given individual? Neil Feit focuses primarily on the metaphysics of harm, and he both defends and extends the counterfactual comparative account of harm. On this account, in its most basic form, an act or event harms an individual provided that she would have been better off if it had not occurred. The counterfactual comparative account is widely accepted but also widely criticized. Feit provides detailed and thorough responses to the most challenging objections. He argues that an adequate theory of harm should entail the counterfactual comparative account but also make room for a certain kind plural harm, where two or more events together harm an individual although neither one by itself is harmful. These harmful events are bad things, collectively, even if no single event is itself a bad thing. Feit sets out and defends a detailed account of plural harm, addressing issues about the magnitude and the time of the harm suffered by the victim. The primary focus of the book is on the metaphysics of harm, but issues concerning its normative or moral relevance are addressed.

    The Ark Shroud and Mary

    Why do the Ark of the Covenant, Mary's reliquary box, and Jesus' Coffer all have the same imagery? Was the Ark the container of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments, or the Chalice? Does the image of the Shroud of Turin contain a bioelectric field? These questions and others will be explored in The Ark, The Shroud, and Mary. 
 
Author Philip Gardiner recently won the acclaim of both scholars and the reading public with The Serpent Grail, which united three of the most mysterious objects known to man--the Grail, Elixir and Philosophers Stone. Now, in this unique and thought-provoking work Gardiner proves that the Ark of the Covenant, the Shroud of Turin, and Mary are united in ways never before imagined. 
 
Travelling across the world, from Rome to India, Portugal to Egypt, Gardiner uncovers the trail of the Ark and finds that it does not lead to Ethiopia, as many believe, but instead in a direction that nobody could have imagined. The trail of the Ark takes Gardiner on a hunt into the very heart of an ancient secret society with clandestine meetings in far-off lands. Uniting the myth, tradition, and language of the Ark with the Shroud of Turin, Gardiner then goes on to re-date it, reveal how it was made, and identify whose image it actually recreates. Through his new-found contacts in the world of secret societies, Gardiner then shows how this incredible secret was protected by a dual brotherhood throughout time and was the secret source of the enlightenment spoken of by numerous orders from the Sufis to the Knights Templar. The Ark, The Shroud, and Mary outshines The Da Vinci Code for the simple reason that it is the factual story of one man's fight to uncover the truth.

  • Liberalism - Individual Liberty and the Modern State - cover

    Liberalism - Individual Liberty...

    Liberalism is a political and philosophical ideology rooted in the principles of individual liberty, equality, and limited government. At its core, liberalism emphasizes the autonomy of the individual, arguing that each person has the right to pursue their own life and happiness, free from unnecessary interference by the state or society. Emerging in the Enlightenment period, liberalism challenged the traditional structures of monarchies and feudal systems, advocating for the rights of the individual and the importance of reason, tolerance, and democratic participation. 
The roots of liberal thought can be traced back to the works of early modern philosophers such as John Locke, whose ideas on natural rights and government by consent laid the foundation for liberal political theory. Locke’s assertion that individuals possess inherent rights to life, liberty, and property formed the basis for much of liberal thought, influencing the development of constitutionalism and democratic governance. Over time, thinkers like Montesquieu, Rousseau, and later John Stuart Mill contributed to the evolution of liberalism, expanding its focus to issues of civil liberties, political freedoms, and social equality. 
A defining characteristic of liberalism is its emphasis on individual freedom. This includes both personal liberty—the freedom to make choices about one’s own life—and political liberty—the right to participate in the democratic process and have a say in the laws and policies that govern society. Classical liberals advocated for minimal government interference in the economy and individual affairs, emphasizing free markets, private property, and limited state power. The role of the state, in this view, is to protect the rights of individuals and maintain social order, but not to intervene in the private lives or economic transactions of citizens.

    Early in the Prohibition era, Moe Sedway became part of the New York organized crime gang led by Meyer Lansky and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. A loyal and highly effective operative for Siegel, Sedway eventually gained monopoly control of the race wire service in Las Vegas and also became an effective casino manager of the Las Vegas Club, El Cortez, and the Rex Club. 
 
 
 
A breach in their relationship led to rumors that Sedway had gained Lansky's approval for a "hit" on Siegel. The unsolved mystery of who murdered Bugsy in 1947 has spawned numerous theories about the identity of the hitman, but regardless of who pulled the trigger, Bugsy's death opened the way for Moe to flourish as his own man at last. Long overshadowed by Bugsy in the annals of organized crime in America, Moe Sedway is now at last brought out into the light in this riveting tale of the sensational life and times of one of Vegas's most mysterious and little-known figures.
