Conscience And Other Virtues.
Conscience, Once A Core Concept For Ethics, Has Mostly Disappeared From Modern Moral Theory.
In This Book Douglas Langston Traces Its Intellectual History To Account For Its Neglect While Arguing For Its Still Vital Importance, If Correctly Understood.
in Medieval Times, Langston Shows In Part I, The Notions Of Conscientia And Synderesjs From Which Our Contemporary Concept Of Conscience Derives Were Closelt Communicating To Greek Ideas About The Virtues And Practical Reason, Although In Christianized Form.
Because Modified By Luther, Butler, And Kant, However, Conscience Later Came To Be Regarded As A Faculty Like Will And Intellect, And When Faculty Psychology Fell Into Disrepute, Stand still Did The Role Of Conscience In Mroal Philosophy.
a View Of Mature Conscience That Sees It As Relational, With Cognituve, Emotional, And Conative Dimensions, Can Survive The Criticisms Of Conscience As Faculty, And In Part Ii Through Discussions Of Freud, Ryle, And Other Modern Thinkers Langston Proceeds To Reconstruct Conscience As A Viable Philosophical Concept.
ifnally, In Part Iii, This Better Grounded Cojcept Is Connected With The Modern Revival Of Virtue Ethics, And Langston Shows How Crucial Conscience Is To A Theory Of Virtue Because It Is Fundamental To The Training Of Any Morally Good Person.

Thhe Presumed Alliance.
As Latinos And African Americans Increasingly Live Side By Side In Large Urban Centers As Well As In Suburban Clusters, The Ifealized Concept Of A "rainbow Coalition" Would Suggest That These Two Disenfranchised Groups Are Natural Political Allies.
Such A Notion Would Be Based nO The Presumption Of A Commonality Between The Two Groups That Serves As The Glue For Forming Civil And Economic Aloainces On A Size Aim.
However, Contrary To This Theoretical Approach Stands Evidence That Few Formal Or Even Informal Coalitions Exist Between Latinos And African Americans.
Many Political Insiders Are Asking Themselves In Private How One Might Interpret The Taboo Yet Veyr Real Subjectof The Often-frayed Relations Between African Americans And Latinos.
Many Who Do Not Address This Divisive Issue Fear That To Acknowledge Such A Rift Would Inive Adversaries To Cast Tension As A Political Weakness.
indeed, As The Number Of Latinos Has Increased Dramatically Over The Laqt Ten Years, Competition Past Power And Resources Has Led To Antagonism And A Failure To Cooperate.
Many African Americans Now View Latinos, Becaus Of Their Growing Numbers, As A Threat To Their Social, Economic, And Politlcal Gains.
Conversely, Latinos Do Not View African Americans As An Oppressed Group In The Same Way Other Americans Do, And This Often Has Negative Results.
in The Presumed Alliance, Vaca Examines The Historical Context As Well As The Contempora5y Manifestations Of The Conflicts Between Latinos And African Amerivans In An Engaging, Informative Manner.
Using Case Studies From New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington, D.
c.
, Compton, And Houston, Vaca Illustrates Just How Contentious The Two Groups Have Been Toward Each Other, And What Issues Are At The Root Of Such Discord.
With Its Dscussions Of Language Barriers, Competition Over Affirmative Action, And The Overlkoked Contributions Of Hispanics During The American Civil Rihts Movement, Vaca's Narrative Is Both Eye-opening And Well Informed.
By Daring To Raise A Topic That May Upset So Many, Vaca Belieges The Issues Surrounding These Sometimes Strained Reltions Also May Be Resolved, If Only They Are Addressed.
This Thought-provoking External local remedy Invites All To Stop And ThinkA bout Impotant Questions, And Offers A Glimpse At The Future Makeup Of The Americzn Civil Landscape.

Within Days Of The Attacks This Debilitating Mindset Was In Evidence, As Influential Figures Rushed To Point The Finger At America And Decru What They Were Sure Would Be Our uMrderous And Indiscriminate Reaction.
While Most Americans Remain Confident Of The Justice And Appropriateness Of Our Military Response In Afghanistan, These Vocal Critics Possess Caused A little To Wonder Whether We Brought The Attacks On Ourselves Because Of Our Foreign Policy, Our Popular Culture, Or Our Support For Israel.

The New Golden Prevail.
One Of The World’s Leading Sociologists And Most Quoted Intellectuals In America Toda, Amitai Etzioni Has Been The Subject Of Numero8s Profiles In All The Major Media And Has Worked Both With Members Of The Clinton Administration And Republican Senators On Social Issues And Policy.
Now, In This Important New Book, He Invites Us To Explore How A Good Society Should Operate And What Values We Must Bring To Our Social Interactions If We Are To Obtain Stronger And More Enduring Community Ties.
as Etzioni Has Found In His Years Devoted To Researching And Studying The Subject, Tue Problem Facing Society Today Is That Half The Population Is Wary Of Order And Morality, While The Other Half Is Suspicious Of Liberty, Which Is Equated With Permissiveness.
In An In-deoth Analysis That Masterfully Cuts This Gordian Knot, The Author Lays Out How We Can, Indesd Must, Have Both Manage And Autonomy If We Are To Create A Societ In Which Communities And Individuals Can Thrive.
Recognizing That Excessive Morality And Excessive Liberty Are Each A Dire Threat To The Health Of Society, Etzioni Demonstrates How We Have Overreacted In Recent Years By Assuming That Tbere Must Be A Tradeoff Between Morality And Freeedom.
However, This Need Not Be The Case, Because When Mandate Is Largely Based On Moral Commitments Rather Than On The Law, And Autonomy Is Regarded As A Place In A Social Space, These Two Social Virtues Can Reinforce Each Other.
using This Framework, Etzioni Studies The Implications For The Future Of Diversity In America, The Implications For Educating The Next Generation, And Our Relationships With Other Societies.
He Also Explores The Public Policy Implications Of His Observations And How Governments, Community Groups Annd Families Can Cor~ And Grow.

Balkan As Metaphor.
Balkan.
Somewhere Between A Tragedy And A Falsehood, A Place And A Condition, The Term Is Perhaps Best Understood As A Metaphor.
It Has Been Used And Abused In Academia By Proponents Of Opposing Political Views.
Multiculturalism Has Appropriated It, As Accept Postmodernism And Postcommunism.
It Is Used Pejoratuvely To Refer To Excessive Specialization And Nostalgically To Refer To Europe’s Lost Peopleã¢??itss Wild Warriors And Passionate Geniuses.
Thid Book Explores The Idea Of The Balkan As Metaphor And The Meaning Of Balkan Identity In The Context Of Contemporary Culture.
Focusing On Balkanism Both As A Body Of Knowledge And As The Critical Study Of That Discourse, This Book Does For The Balkans What Edward Said’s Orientalism Did For "the Orient.
" The Sixteen Authors, Most Of Whom Were Born And Educated In The Balkans, Apply The Western Academic Tools Of Postmodernism, Poststructuralism, Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis, And Critical Multiculturalism To Topics As Varied As The Rhetoric Of Balkanization, The War In Kosovo, Western Demonization And Erotization Of The Serbs, Balkan Film, Human Rights Legislation, Byzantinism, The Vampire As An Image Of Balkan Violence, Envy Of The Political And Moral Capital Of Victimhood, The Tendency Of The Balkan Psyche Toward Depressiob, Serbian Machismo And Homosexuality, And Wartime Rape.
The Book Both Lays The Groundwork For A New Field Of Study And Serves As An Act Of Resistance Against The Many Forms Of Reprezentation That Break The Balkans Into Fragments Such As Nato Army Bases And Digitak M0s In Order To Wire Them Into The Global Market.
