I Am You: The Metaphysical Foundations for Global Ethics - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Borders enclose and separate us. We assign to them tremendous significance. Along them we draw supposedly uncrossable boundaries within which we believe our individual identities begin and end, erecting the metaphysical dividing walls that enclose each one of us into numerically identical, numerically distinct, entities: persons. Do the borders between us—physical, psychological, neurological, causal, spatial, temporal, etc.—merit the metaphysical significance ordinarily accorded them? The central thesis of I Am You is that our borders do not signify boundaries between persons. We are all the same person. Variations on this heretical theme have been voiced periodically throughout the ages (the Upanishads, Averroës, Giordano Bruno, Josiah Royce, Schrödinger, Fred Hoyle, Freeman Dyson). In presenting his arguments, the author relies on detailed analyses of recent formal work on personal identity, especially that of Derek Parfit, Sydney Shoemaker, Robert Nozick, David Wiggins, Daniel C. Dennett and Thomas Nagel, while incorporating the views of Descartes, Leibniz, Wittgenstein, Schopenhauer, Kant, Husserl and Brouwer. His development of the implied moral theory is inspired by, and draws on, Rawls, Sidgwick, Kant and again Parfit. The traditional, commonsense view that we are each a separate person numerically identical to ourselves over time, i.e., that personal identity is closed under known individuating and identifying borders—what the author calls Closed Individualism—is shown to be incoherent. The demonstration that personal identity is not closed but open points collectively in one of two new directions: either there are no continuously existing, self-identical persons over time in the sense ordinarily understood—the sort of view developed by philosophers as diverse as Buddha, Hume and most recently Derek Parfit, what the author calls Empty Individualism—or else you are everyone, i.e., personal identity is not closed under known individuating and identifying borders, what the author calls Open Individualism. In making his case, the author:
Some Day You'll Thank Me for This: The Official Southern Ladies' Guide to Being a ''Perfect'' Mother - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Tand we do—every day. Just for starters, we wouldn’thave had the material for our books without Ann Gayden Calland Julia Morgan Hall Hays, our wonderful Southern mothers.We miss them every day, and, whenever we think we might beturning into them, we thank our lucky stars. Both were greatDelta conversationalists, and both gave the lie to William ButlerYeats’ contention that souls are had only by those who are “notentirely beautiful.” They were belles of every ball and quietlycourageous—and they knew all the gossip. (P.S. We never sit onstrange commode seats or say s-t-i-n-k.)We can’t thank our agent Gail Ross enough—without Gailwhat we have come to jokingly refer to as our “pastel trilogy”(our three “Southern lady books” have pastel covers) would notvAcknowledgmentsexist. Gail shaped and sold the idea and has supported usthroughout the process.We have also been fortunate to work with a great team atHyperion. We especially thank Leslie Wells for her deft touchwith prose and because, a Virginian transplanted to New York,she still speaks Southernese—what more could we ask? Well,one more thing you get in Leslie is an editor who is consider-ate of authors and gets back to you so quickly you think she’sable by some mystical means to read your copy almost beforeyou’ve hit the “send” button. Anybody who writes for a livingknows how much this means.We are indebted to a host of friends and relatives who sharedstories about their mothers and allowed us to use their treasuredrecipes; we must also thank Gayden’s witty nephew Hugh Dick-son Gayden Miller for essential help with the sidebars.We originally considered making a list of great Southernmothers we have known, mothers of our friends, mostly, but werealized this was too fraught with peril—we inevitably wouldleave out somebody whose charm and kindness has nourishedus. So let us just say a general thanks to Southern mothers wehave know
Can You Hear Me Now?: The Inspiration, Wisdom, and Insight of Michael Eric Dyson - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Over the last 20 years, Michael Eric Dyson has become one of America’s most visible—and quotable—public intellectuals. Whether in his sixteen books, or in countless newspapers, television and radio appearances, or on stages, podiums, and pulpits across the world, Dyson has spun an enchanting web of words that has caught the attention of the masses and elites alike. He has weighed in on a myriad array of topics – from faith to fatherhood, and from race to sex, as well as sports, manhood, gender, music, leadership, politics, language, love, justice, literature, suffering, death, hope, relationships and much, much more.Can You Hear Me Now?, offers a sampling of Dyson’s sharp wit, profound thought, and edifying eloquence on the enduring problems of humanity, from love to justice, and the latest topics of the day, including race and the presidency. It is both revealing and relevant, and at once thoughtful provoking and uplifting. Whether he is writing about Jay-Z or Barack Obama, addressing racial catastrophes or opportunities, or speaking about religion or the felicities of King’s rhetoric, Dyson’s intellect shines with insight and inspiration.Can You Hear Me Now? captures Dyson’s incredible facility with words, and his prodigious intelligence, at a time when he has gained greater fame as a public intellectual, university professor, best-selling author, and most recently, as one of the first prominent blacks to endorse President Barack Obama. The time is ripe for his wit, wisdom and worldview, and this book is Dyson’s most accessible compendium of thinking on a broad range of topics that haunt and shape the nation.
