Moral Philosophy - Navigating...

Hector Davidson

Moral philosophy, or ethics, is the branch of philosophy that examines concepts of right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and injustice. It seeks to understand the foundations of moral principles, how they are applied in human life, and whether moral truths are objective or subjective. From ancient civilizations to modern societies, moral philosophy has played a crucial role in shaping human thought, behavior, and institutions. 
One of the fundamental questions in moral philosophy is whether morality is a product of reason, emotion, or social convention. Some philosophers argue that moral principles stem from rational deliberation, while others suggest that morality is deeply tied to human emotions, such as compassion and guilt. Social constructivists, on the other hand, emphasize that moral norms evolve through cultural traditions, religious beliefs, and historical contexts. 
The study of moral philosophy is often divided into three main branches. Meta-ethics explores the nature and meaning of moral language, questioning whether moral statements express objective truths or subjective opinions. Normative ethics examines different ethical theories that propose principles for moral conduct, such as consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Applied ethics focuses on practical moral issues, including debates on human rights, justice, medical ethics, and environmental concerns.

How to Be a Renaissance Woman -...

Jill Burke

Beauty, make-up, art, power: How to Be a Renaissance Woman presents an alternative history of this period as told by the women behind the paintings, providing a window into their often overlooked or silenced lives. Can the pressures women feel to look good be traced back to the sixteenth century? 
 
 
 
As the Renaissance visual world became populated by female nudes from the likes of Michelangelo and Titian, a vibrant literary scene of beauty tips emerged, fueling debates about cosmetics and adornment. Telling the stories of courtesans, artists, actresses, and writers rebelling against the strictures of their time, when burgeoning colonialism gave rise to increasingly sinister evaluations of bodies and skin color, this book puts beauty culture into the frame. 
 
 
 
How to Be a Renaissance Woman will take listeners from bustling Italian market squares, the places where the poorest women and immigrant communities influenced cosmetic products and practices, to the highest echelons of Renaissance society, where beauty could be a powerful weapon in securing strategic marriages and family alliances. It will investigate how skin-whitening practices shifted with the emerging sub-Saharan African slave trade, how fads for fattening and thinning diets came and went, and how hairstyles and fashion could be a tool for dissent and rebellion—then as now.

Skybreak - The 58th Fighter...

Mike Guardia

Meet the top MiG-killing aces of Operation Desert Storm.August 1990: Iraqi forces under the command of Saddam Hussein invaded the tiny emirate of Kuwait. Within hours, the Kuwaiti defenses collapsed under the onslaught of the Iraqi Army. In response, the US military led a coalition of thirty-four nations in what became known as Operation Desert Storm—a violent air and ground campaign to eject the Iraqis from Kuwait. At the tip of the spear were the men of the US Air Force’s 58th Fighter Squadron.Mounted aboard their F-15C fighter jets, these young aviators took to the sky against the Iraqi Air Force. Although confident in their capabilities, these untested American pilots were flying into combat against the latest-and-greatest of Soviet-built aircraft – including the MiG-29 ‘Fulcrum.’Despite the odds, however, the men of the 58th Fighter Squadron decimated the Iraqi Air Force in one engagement after another. On the first day of the air war (January 17, 1991), Captain Jon “JB” Kelk claimed the first aerial victory of Desert Storm, downing a MiG-29 in combat. In less than 30 days, the 58th Fighter Squadron flew more than 1,600 combat sorties and destroyed 16 Iraqi aircraft – more than any other coalition air unit.Based on hours of interviews and archival research by author Mike Guardia, this book reveals an intimate, no-holds-barred account of modern aerial combat…as told by the men who lived it."Skybreak" is their story.
