Robert Chenault Givler

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "The Ethics of Hercules: A Study of Man's Body as the Sole Determinant of Ethical Values," Robert Chenault Givler explores the intersection of physicality and morality, positing that the human body serves as the foundational determinant of ethical frameworks. Givler's literary style is both incisive and evocative, intertwining philosophical discourse with rich metaphorical language, drawing upon the ancient myth of Hercules to illustrate his arguments. By contextualizing ethical concepts through a corporeal lens, Givler challenges traditional moral philosophy, inviting readers to reconsider the implications of bodily existence in ethical decision-making. Robert Chenault Givler, an accomplished philosopher influenced by existentialist thought and classical literature, delves deep into the complexities of ethics and morality. His background as both a scholar and a practitioner of philosophy led him to question the abstract nature of ethical constructs, prompting a return to the tangible essence of humanity and its physical expressions. Givler's scholarly pursuits are underscored by a profound commitment to understanding how our corporeal experiences inform our moral judgments. This thought-provoking text is recommended for any reader intrigued by philosophy, ethics, or the human condition. Givler's nuanced exploration of the body as a determinant of values will resonate with those seeking to engage critically with the complex interplay between physicality and moral reasoning. It is a vital contribution to contemporary philosophical discourse, inviting readers to reexamine their ethical principles through a refreshing and grounded perspective.

Paris Is Not Dead - Surviving...

Cole Stangler

The Paris of popular imagination is lined with cobblestone streets and stylish cafés, a beacon for fashionistas and well-heeled tourists. But French-American journalist Cole Stangler, celebrated for his reporting on Paris and French politics, argues that the beating heart of the City of Light lies elsewhere—in its striving, working-class districts whose residents are being priced out of their hometown today. 
 
 
 
Paris Is Not Dead explores the past, present, and future of the City of Light through the lens of class conflict, highlighting the outsized role of immigrants in shaping the city's progressive, cosmopolitan, and open-minded character—at a time when politics nationwide can feel like they're shifting in the opposite direction. This is the Paris many tourists too often miss: immigrant-heavy districts such as the 18th arrondissement, where crowded street markets still define everyday life. Stangler brings this view of the city to life, combining gripping, street-level reportage, stories of today's working-class Parisians, recent history, and a sweeping analysis of the larger forces shaping the city. 
 
 
 
In the tradition of Lucy Sante and Mike Davis, Paris Is Not Dead offers a bottom-up portrait of one of the world's most vital urban centers—and a call to action to Francophiles and all who care about the future of cities everywhere.

Justice in Dealing with Others -...

Esther Jameson

Justice is a fundamental concept that has shaped human societies for centuries. It refers to the principles of fairness, equality, and moral rightness that govern interactions between individuals, communities, and institutions. In its broadest sense, justice is about ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness, regardless of their background, status, or circumstances. It encompasses a wide range of areas, including law, ethics, politics, and social relationships, all of which are vital to creating a balanced and harmonious society.
The importance of justice cannot be overstated. Without it, societies risk descending into chaos and inequality. History provides numerous examples of injustice, from oppressive regimes to discriminatory practices, that have caused harm to individuals and groups. At its core, justice aims to prevent harm and ensure that people receive what they are due – whether that be rights, resources, or recognition. It seeks to promote fairness, resolve disputes, and protect the vulnerable, while holding individuals accountable for their actions.
Justice is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It is influenced by various philosophical and cultural perspectives that shape how it is understood and applied. In Western thought, justice has often been closely tied to concepts such as the rule of law, individual rights, and democratic governance. In other cultures, justice may be framed through the lens of collective responsibility, harmony, or social roles. These differing perspectives reflect the complexity of justice as a concept and the challenges in applying it universally.
