Sinopsis

Socrates once said that a good person does not worry much about the little things, like whether he lives or dies, but only about the one big thing: whether he is a good person or a bad one.       In Ethics for Beginners, celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft reclaims the importance of ethical study in answering life’s big questions: What is the meaning of life? How should I live? How should I treat other people? Unlike many modern texts on the subject, this one asserts that ethics is real, that good and evil are knowable, and that we can learn to act well and so become better and happier people.       Surveying the “big ideas” of the thirty-two most important ethical philosophers, Ethics for Beginners is an apprenticeship to the greatest minds in history. With expert analysis and reflection from Kreeft, it offers a challenging and unforgettable treatment that is suitable for classroom and individual use alike.

    Economic Impacts of Imperialism...

    Imperialism, as a driving force in global history, established the foundation for much of the modern world's economic and political systems. The roots of imperialism stretch back to ancient civilizations, where conquest and control of territories provided the resources and labor necessary for expansion and prosperity. Over time, the concept evolved, shaped by cultural ambitions, geopolitical competition, and economic incentives. By the late 15th century, the age of exploration began a new phase of empire building, marked by the European powers seeking wealth and influence beyond their borders. 
    At the heart of imperialism was the pursuit of economic gain. Wealth from foreign lands, particularly precious metals, spices, and other coveted resources, spurred the earliest imperial endeavors. These ventures not only enriched nations but also fueled rivalry among emerging powers. The drive for resources and markets intensified during the Renaissance and the early modern period, as advancements in navigation and maritime technology made long-distance expeditions feasible. Imperial powers sought to expand their influence by establishing colonies, which would serve as sources of raw materials and as markets for manufactured goods. 
    Cultural and ideological factors also played a role in shaping imperialism. The belief in the superiority of certain civilizations over others justified the conquest and subjugation of indigenous peoples. Religion was another motivator, with missionary efforts often accompanying territorial expansion. Christianity, in particular, became a tool for legitimizing imperial control, as colonizing powers framed their endeavors as missions to civilize and convert native populations. This intertwined economic exploitation with a sense of moral and cultural obligation, creating a complex dynamic between the colonizers and the colonized.

    A revelatory collection of essays on the DeafBlind experience, and a manifesto on the power and untapped potential of touch. 
     
     
     
    Born Deaf into an ASL-speaking family and blind by adolescence, John Lee Clark learned to embrace the possibilities of his tactile world. He is on the frontlines of the Protactile movement, which gave birth to an unprecedented tactile language and a way of life based on physical connection. 
     
     
     
    In a series of paradigm-shifting essays, Clark reports on seismic developments within the DeafBlind community. In "Against Access," he interrogates the prevailing advocacy for "accessibility" that recreates a shadow of a hearing-sighted experience. In the National Magazine Award–winning "Tactile Art," he describes his relationship to visual art and encounters with tactile sculpture. He advocates for "Co-Navigation," a new way of guiding that respects DeafBlind agency and offers a brief history of the term "DeafBlind." As warm and witty as he is radical and inspiring, Clark welcomes listeners into the exciting Protactile landscape and celebrates the hidden knowledge that can be gained through touch.
