Summary

In "Nietzsche and Other Exponents of Individualism," Paul Carus delves into the philosophical discourse surrounding individualism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Carus employs a rigorous analytical style, combining historical context with a critical examination of key thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, who championed the notion of the 'Übermensch' and the affirmation of one's personal path. This work positions Nietzsche alongside contemporaries who also explored aspects of individuality, allowing readers to navigate the intricate landscape of existential thought and its implications on society and morality. Paul Carus was not only a renowned philosopher but also an influential figure in promoting scientific philosophy. His diverse background in philosophy, psychology, and Eastern religions enabled him to critically engage with Western ideas and their philosophical implications. Carus's commitment to understanding individualism in its multifaceted nature reflects both his scholarly pursuits and his personal experiences living through a transformative era in philosophical thought. This book is recommended for readers keen on exploring the depths of individualism and its advocates. Carus's insightful analysis grants a rich understanding of personal autonomy, offering a compelling survey for anyone interested in philosophy, particularly those seeking to grasp the nuances behind the emergence of individualism as a critical moral framework.

  • Not So Sorry - Abusers False Apologies and the Limits of Forgiveness - cover

    Not So Sorry - Abusers False...

    From religious communities to therapeutic spaces, the importance of forgiving those who’ve wronged us is often enshrined as an unqualified good. But what about horrifying cases of abuse, predatory behavior, or systemic wrong? Too often, when predators or abusers are exposed, the chorus comes immediately: “What about forgiveness?” In these cases, forgiveness places the onus on victims, diminishes real hurt and anger, lets perpetrators off the hook, and prevents justice from being done.  
 
In Not So Sorry, journalist and culture critic Kaya Oakes tackles these questions with intelligence, nuance, and a bit of righteous anger. Ranging from Christian theology and world history to psychology and pop culture, Oakes takes us on a whirlwind tour of the many abuses of the concept of forgiveness, including the abuse scandals of the Catholic church, the outing of high-profile abusers like Larry Nassar, and white America’s obsession with false narratives of marginalized people granting forgiveness to oppressors. Ultimately, Oakes dares us to ask the necessary question: Is it ever better not to forgive? 
 
“Kaya Oakes challenges those slippery, PR-constructed apologies that leave us rolling our eyes. But she does more than that. Throughout Not So Sorry, Kaya Oakes listens to the voices of victims, allows us to wrestle with our assumptions, and leads us on a path to restore justice.”—Rev. Carol Howard, author of Healing Spiritual Wounds: Reconnecting with a Loving God after Experiencing a Hurtful Church, and pastor of Bedford Presbyterian Church

    The Overweight Mind and Body is a self-help guide to understanding the psychological issues that lead to overeating and weight gain. 
 
 
 
The book enables the listener to discover the psychological drives that lead to unwanted weight and to find ways of meeting those drives other than with food. It introduces a simple, user-friendly theory of Transactional Analysis to promote weight-related self-awareness. She understands that, for many, carrying extra weight is emotionally and physically painful and so gently encourages listeners to explore at their own level. She uses case studies to demonstrate the many unconscious influences on one's eating and how, when people discover and resolve these influences, they no longer need extra food. Hearing them shows that "you are not alone." 
 
 
 
This book will also be of interest to, and a useful guide for, practitioners in the caring professions who work with clients struggling with eating and overweight.

  • Escaping Slavery in America: The History of Slave Uprisings and Escape Routes Before the Civil War - cover

    Escaping Slavery in America: The...

    The Underground Railroad is one of the most taught topics to young schoolchildren, and every American is familiar with the idea of fugitive slaves escaping to Canada and the North with the help of determined abolitionists and even former escaped slaves like Harriet Tubman. The secrecy involved in the Underground Railroad made it one of the most mysterious aspects of the mid-19th century in America, to the extent that claims spread that 100,000 slaves had escaped via the Underground Railroad. Of course, from a practical standpoint, the Underground Railroad had to remain covert not only for the sake of thousands of slaves, but for a small army of men and women of every race, religion and economic class who put themselves in peril on an ongoing basis throughout the first half of the 19th century, and in the years leading up to the war.  
	Over 150 years later, that same secrecy has helped the Underground Railroad become so romanticized and mythologized that people often visualize it in ways that were far different from reality. Before the American Civil War eliminated slavery, it was a fixture in North America for over 200 years, and by 1850 a trained slave was worth approximately $2,500, around 10 times the sum of a typical annual salary in that day. As a result, the economic dependence on slavery in the South was an extreme one, and in the wake of the Fugitive Slave Act, black people in the North were under constant pressure to defend their “credentials” to bounty hunters and owners. Between the value of slaves in America, rising abolitionist sentiment at home and overseas, and political debates promoting or hindering the movement toward equality, the era in which the Underground Railroad operated cannot be easily fit into a concise body of principles, actions or geography.
