Virtuous Minds - Intellectual...

Philip E. Dow

Our culture today is in a state of crisis where intellectual virtue is concerned. Dishonesty, cheating, arrogance, laziness, cowardice—such vices are rampant in society, even among the world's most prominent leaders. We find ourselves in an ethical vacuum, as the daily headlines of our newspapers confirm again and again. Central to the problem is the state of education. We live in a technological world that has ever greater access to new information and yet no idea what to do with it all. 
 
 
 
In this wise and winsome book, Philip Dow presents a case for the recovery of intellectual character. He explores seven key virtues—courage, carefulness, tenacity, fair-mindedness, curiosity, honesty, and humility—and discusses their many benefits. The recovery of virtue, Dow argues, is not about doing the right things, but about becoming the right kind of person. The formation of intellectual character produces a way of life that demonstrates love for both God and neighbor. 
 
 
 
Dow has written an eminently practical guide to a life of intellectual virtue designed especially for parents and educators. The book concludes with seven principles for a true education.

The Battle of the Sexes in...

Justine Larbalestier

Runner-up for the Hugo Best Related Book Award (2003)The Battle of the Sexes in Science Fiction is a lively account of the role of women and feminism in the development of American science fiction during its formative years, the mid-20th century. Beginning in 1926, with the publication of the first issue of Amazing Stories, Justine Larbalestier examines science fiction's engagement with questions of femininity, masculinity, sex and sexuality. She traces the debates over the place of women and feminism in science fiction as it emerged in stories, letters and articles in science fiction magazines and fanzines. The book culminates in the story of James Tiptree, Jr. and the eponymous Award. Tiptree was a successful science fiction writer of the 1970s who was later discovered to be a woman. Tiptree's easy acceptance by the male-dominated publishing arena of the time proved that there was no necessary difference in the way men and women wrote, but that there was a real difference in the way they were read.

Existential Therapy - Finding...

Vivian Westlake

Existential therapy is a deeply philosophical approach to psychotherapy, grounded in the belief that life’s greatest challenge is navigating its inherent uncertainties while striving to create meaning. At its core, this approach invites individuals to confront the universal dilemmas of existence: freedom, responsibility, isolation, mortality, and the search for purpose. These existential concerns, though often unsettling, are also the catalysts for personal growth and transformation.
In a world increasingly defined by chaos, existential therapy offers a path to clarity. It does not seek to provide simple answers or quick solutions but instead fosters a deeper understanding of the self. The process requires embracing the discomfort of life’s unanswered questions and exploring the choices that define who we are. This journey of self-discovery helps clients uncover their authentic values and live in alignment with them, even in the face of life’s inevitable challenges.
The roots of existential therapy lie in the existentialist philosophy of thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche, who emphasized individuality and the importance of living authentically. Later, philosophers like Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre explored the intricacies of existence, freedom, and the weight of human choice. These ideas profoundly influenced psychologists like Viktor Frankl, Rollo May, and Irvin Yalom, who brought existential philosophy into the realm of therapeutic practice.
