Kant Dictionary

Morris Stockhammer

Editorial: Philosophical Library/Open Road

Sinopsis

An accessible A-to-Z reference guide to the complex works of the eighteenth-century philosopher.A great thinker of the Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant was born in Königsberg, Prussia, in 1724. He rarely left his hometown and never left his country. He did, however, frequently venture into the spiritual and boundless realm of human thinking, from which he brought back his great philosophical works. In the Kant Dictionary, editor Morris Stockhammer brings together essential concepts, terms, meanings, and definitions from Kant’s vast body of work. The goal was to provide a concise reference tool that penetrates Kant’s complex system of thought and elucidates his philosophy. Now students and laypeople may have easier access to works once limited to scholars.

Primatology Ethics and Trauma

Robert Ingersoll, Antonina Anna...

It has been fifty years since the first language experiments on chimpanzees. Robert Ingersoll is well known for being one of the main carers and best friend of the chimpanzee, Nim Chimpsky, but there were other chimpanzees in the University of Oklahoma's Institute for Primate Studies, including Washoe, Moja, Kelly, Booee, and Onan, who were taught sign language in the quest to discover whether language is learned or innate in humans. Antonina Anna Scarnà's expertise in language acquisition and neuroscience offers a vehicle for critical evaluation of those studies. 
 
 
 
Ingersoll and Scarnà investigate how this research failed to address the emotional needs of the animals. It is time to consider the research from a different perspective, examining the neglect and cruelty that was inflicted on those animals in the name of psychological science. This book re-examines those cases, addressing directly the suffering and traumatic experiences endured by the captive chimpanzees, in particular the female chimpanzee, Washoe, and her resultant inability to be a competent mother. 
 
 
 
This book discusses the unethical nature of the studies in the context of recent research on trauma and offers a specific and direct psychological message, proposing to finally close the door on the language side of these chimpanzee studies.

The Shocking Truth about Social...

Zoey Fraisers

Social movements have shaped the course of history, challenging oppressive systems, advocating for change, and giving a voice to the marginalized. From civil rights struggles to labor movements, from feminist activism to climate change protests, these collective efforts have demonstrated the power of ordinary people to influence political, social, and economic landscapes. But what makes a social movement successful? Why do some fizzle out while others spark revolutions? This book explores the truth behind social movements—their origins, strategies, challenges, and impact on society.
Social movements arise from deep-seated grievances, often triggered by inequality, injustice, or political repression. When institutions fail to address these concerns, people come together to demand change. While some movements rely on peaceful protests, petitions, and advocacy, others take a more radical or even violent turn. The paths they take can determine their success or failure. Movements like the U.S. civil rights movement and India’s independence struggle succeeded through persistent, organized, and nonviolent resistance. In contrast, some movements collapse due to internal divisions, government crackdowns, or loss of public support.
In today’s digital age, technology has transformed activism. Social media has made it easier to mobilize large numbers of people, spread awareness, and hold those in power accountable. However, it has also given rise to misinformation, government surveillance, and fleeting activism that lacks long-term commitment. Movements that once took years to build can now emerge overnight, but sustaining them remains a challenge.
