Moral Duties Past

Sinopse

Moral Duties Past explores the role of honor and ethics in shaping societies before modern times, examining whether these societies operated on a higher moral plane than our own. The book delves into historical codes and social structures, from Mesopotamia to medieval Europe, to understand how societies defined and enforced ethical standards. It argues that an emphasis on honor, though flawed, fostered trust and stability, facilitating societal cohesion.

 
The book progresses by first introducing honor as a social and economic force, then analyzing historical codes like the Code of Hammurabi and Roman civil law to identify governing ethical principles. It further examines social structures that enforced these principles, such as guilds, before investigating the decline of honor-based systems. This approach provides a nuanced assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of past ethical norms.

 
Unique in its approach, the book combines historical analysis with philosophical reflection, challenging the modern assumption that ethical behavior is solely a matter of individual conscience or legal compliance. By drawing parallels between historical and contemporary ethical challenges, Moral Duties Past offers insights into promoting ethical behavior in the 21st century, emphasizing the importance of social accountability and collective reputation as complements to individual responsibility and legal frameworks.

Illinois 1000

Henry Isham

Illinois 1000 is a quick dive into the lives of the English and the Indians of the Upper Midwest a thousand years ago.
 
Building on The Year 1000 by British historians Robert Lacey and Danny Danzinger, the author 
moves from one side of the Atlantic to the other. The contrasts are as much from the past to the present as between the two very different cultures. ‘Primitive’ is often used to describe the Indians’ way of life, and not without at least some reason. So much of what characterized and made English life possible was entirely absent in North America.
 
Yet, centuries later, hundreds, even thousands of Europeans joined the Indians, preferring their way of living to that which they had known in Europe or colonial America. The Indians, the first people, survived and prospered in what was at that time not amber fields of grain but a very 
ungenerous landscape. If they were brutal, they were hardly unique. In their affinity to the earth they lived on, there were few like them.

Perseverance Through Severe...

Reggie D. Ford

In Reggie Ford’s bold reassessment of the Black experience in America, he demonstrates that a new understanding of PTSD is required. PTSD, Perseverance Through Severe Dysfunction, as Ford defines it, underlines the darkness of mental health illnesses and behaviors that impact young Black men and have plagued Black Americans for generations.
But his reassessment is not doom and gloom. Instead, Ford implores that we turn pain into peace. His uplifting message shows that by realizing, accepting, and treating mental health with grace, kindness, and appreciation of the backgrounds of those needing support, we can reduce the significant impact of PTSD and other mental conditions on not just Black, but all people.
Ford uses his own traumatic experiences to inform his call to action. He takes his impoverished and scarred childhood and turns it into a life of promise and abundance. His memoir shines a light on the intergenerational impact of unaddressed mental health issues, showing how the power of a familial network can help or severely harm an individual’s battle with mental health illnesses. He writes searingly of the overwhelming odds and systemic racism that must be overcome by Black Americans in order to reach the heights he has scaled. Ford’s own heartbreaking story is yet an optimistic one, intended to show that mental health has a real and demonstrable effect on Black Americans, but that it can be overcome.
PTSD places one man’s experiences in the realm of the broad sociopolitical issues that affect so many Americans. Ford emphasizes that the trauma of society creates situations of mental health issues and behaviors that hold back so many. But he also believes there is room for hope, that his own experiences of overcoming so many hardships and difficulties offer a path for others to follow. Immense suffering, Ford believes, can lead to improbable success.

Joan of Arc - The Historical...

Kelly Mass

The painting of her on the battlefield with only one breast covered and holding a flag is probably one of the most famous paintings from European history. Many people have heard of Joan of Arc, but only few know what she did or how her life was. 
Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d' Arc) is a French heroine who was venerated as a saint for her role in the Lancastrian part of the Hundred Years' War. She was born in Domrémy, in the Vosges area of northeast France, to Jacques d' Arc and Isabelle Romée, a peasant family. Joan said she saw visions of the archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria telling her to support Charles VII and free France from English supremacy late in the Hundred Years' War. Joan was sent out as part of a relief army to the siege of Orléans by the as-yet-unanointed King Charles VII. After the siege was raised only 9 days later, she rose to fame. 
She ended up being a sign of the Catholic League in the 16th century, and Napoleon Bonaparte called her a nationwide sign of France in 1803. 
In 1909, she was beatified, and in 1920, she was canonized. One of France's 9 secondary tutelary saint is Joan of Arc. 
Since her death, Joan of Arc has stayed a popular character in literature, painting, sculpture, and other cultural works, with many popular authors, playwrights, filmmakers, artists, and composers creating and continuing to produce cultural representations of her.
