Are We Bodies or Souls?

Richard Swinburne

What are humans? What makes us who we are? 
 
  
 
Many think that we are just complicated machines, or animals that are different from machines only by being conscious. In Are We Bodies or Souls? Richard Swinburne comes to the defense of the soul and presents new philosophical arguments that are supported by modern neuroscience. When scientific advances enable neuroscientists to transplant a part of brain into a new body, he reasons, no matter how much we can find out about their brain activity or conscious experiences we will never know whether the resulting person is the same as before or somebody entirely new. Swinburne thus argues that we are immaterial souls sustained in existence by our brains. Sensations, thoughts, and intentions are conscious events in our souls that cause events in our brains. While scientists might discover some of the laws of nature that determine conscious events and brain events, each person's soul is an individual thing and this is what ultimately makes us who we are.

COVID Lockdown Insanity - The...

Hugh McTavish Ph.D.

A Ph.D. biochemist and immunologist goes through the data on one of the greatest public policy disasters in human history—the lockdown response to COVID.  How deadly was COVID originally and after it had evolved for a year or two?  How many COVID deaths were prevented by the lockdowns?  How many people did the lockdowns throw into depression? How many people did the lockdowns kill by deaths of despair?  	But the good news from the lockdowns is it shows citizens are willing to make enormous sacrifices for their society and that we can transform society on a dime.  What if we used that for good purposes?  What if we governed for the goal of happiness instead of maximizing GDP? What if we governed to protect the planet, instead of with the exclusive goal of extending the lives of the oldest and sickest people in society, even at the cost of killing the young and middle aged by deaths of despair and destroying the education and lives of children?

Technology and Social Change -...

Fred Grandsen

Technology has always played a fundamental role in shaping human societies, influencing how people communicate, work, and interact with the world around them. Social change, in turn, refers to the transformation of cultural, economic, and political structures over time. The relationship between technology and social change is deeply intertwined, as technological innovations can drive profound shifts in society, while social needs and challenges often inspire new technological developments. 
Throughout history, technological advancements have acted as catalysts for change, altering the way people live and interact. The agricultural revolution, for example, enabled the transition from nomadic lifestyles to settled civilizations, fostering population growth and social organization. The industrial revolution transformed economies by introducing mechanization, mass production, and urbanization, dramatically reshaping labor markets and social structures. More recently, the digital revolution has revolutionized communication, education, and business through the rise of computers, the internet, and artificial intelligence. 
One key aspect of understanding technology and social change is recognizing that technological progress is not inherently neutral.

Tales from the Haunted South -...

Tiya Miles

In this book Tiya Miles explores the popular yet troubling phenomenon of "ghost tours," frequently promoted and experienced at plantations, urban manor homes, and cemeteries throughout the South. As a staple of the tours, guides entertain paying customers by routinely relying on stories of enslaved black specters. But who are these ghosts? Examining popular sites and stories from these tours, Miles shows that haunted tales routinely appropriate and skew African American history to produce representations of slavery for commercial gain. "Dark tourism" often highlights the most sensationalist and macabre aspects of slavery, from salacious sexual ties between white masters and black women slaves to the physical abuse and torture of black bodies to the supposedly exotic nature of African spiritual practices. Because the realities of slavery are largely absent from these tours, Miles reveals how they continue to feed problematic "Old South" narratives and erase the hard truths of the Civil War era. In an incisive and engaging work, Miles uses these troubling cases to shine light on how we feel about the Civil War and race, and how the ghosts of the past are still with us.

Wage Labor And Capital

Karl Marx

Originally written as a series of newspaper articles in 1847, Wage-Labor and Capital were intended to give an overview of Marx’s central theories regarding the economic relationships between workers and capitalists. These theories outlined include the Marxian form of the Labour Theory of Value, which distinguishes “labor” from “labor-power”, and the Theory of Concentration of Capital, which states that capitalism tends towards the creation of monopolies and the disenfranchisement of the middle and working classes. These theories were later elaborated in Volume 1 of Capital, published in 1867. Karl Heinrich Marx FRSA was a German philosopher, a critic of political economy, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist, and socialist revolutionary. His best-known titles are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto and the four-volume Das Kapital.
