Sinossi

Archive Discoveries explores how newly uncovered historical documents and artifacts are reshaping our understanding of world history. By examining primary sources, the book reveals how these finds challenge established narratives. For example, the rediscovery of previously unknown treaties can drastically alter our perception of past diplomatic relations, while personal letters might illuminate the lived experiences of ordinary people, adding depth to social history. These discoveries aren't just additions to existing knowledge; they force us to re-evaluate our historical frameworks.

 
The book begins by examining the nature of archives and their potential biases, then progresses through case studies organized thematically, covering political, social, cultural, and intellectual history. It emphasizes the importance of historical research and interpretation, highlighting how insights from fields like archaeology and political science contribute to a more holistic understanding.

 
Ultimately, Archive Discoveries demonstrates the dynamic nature of historical understanding, inviting readers to engage critically with historical narratives and consider alternative interpretations of the past.

Simply Responsible - Basic Blame...

Matt King

We evaluate people all the time for a wide variety of activities. We blame them for miscalculations, uninspired art, and committing crimes. We praise them for detailed brushwork, a superb pass, and their acts of kindness. We accomplish things, from solving crosswords to mastering guitar solos. We bungle our endeavors, whether this is letting a friend down or burning dinner. Sometimes these deeds are morally significant, but many times they are not. 
 
 
 
Simply Responsible defends the radical proposal that the blameworthy artist is responsible in just the same way that the blameworthy thief is. We can be responsible for all kinds of different activities, from lip-synching to long division, from murders to meringues, but the relation involved, what author Matt King calls the basic responsibility relation, is the same in every case. We are responsible for the things we do first, then blameworthy or praiseworthy for having done them in light of whether they're good or bad, according to a variety of standards. 
 
 
 
According to most accounts, moral responsibility is either a special species of responsibility or else depends on moralized capacities. In contrast, King argues that we get a more complete and unifying picture of responsible agency from a more general theory of responsibility.

Kenneth Barish

Bridging Our Political Divide: How Liberals and Conservatives Can Understand Each Other and Find Common Ground is an essential contribution to a better national conversation. 
 
 
 
Psychologist Kenneth Barish explains the sources and consistency of our political beliefs and why we continue to disagree about fundamental issues in American life. He offers antidotes to the angry, repetitive, and unproductive arguments that now dominate our political culture.

The concluding chapter shows how we can move beyond partisan divisions toward pragmatic solutions and a better future for America's children. 
 
 
 
This fundamentally hopeful book is an essential listen for students in all areas of study, for professionals in the fields of conflict resolution, communication, political science, and social psychology, and for anyone seeking to improve the quality of their conversations with people who may disagree with them, in both politics and in their personal relationships.
