Without A Tear. In Without A Tear Mark H. Bernstein Begins Through One Of Our Most Ordinary And Cherished Moral Beliefs: That It Is Wrong To Intentionally And Gratuitously Inflict Harm On The Innocent. Over The Course Of The Book, He Shows How This Apparently Innocuous Commitment Reqyires That We Drastically Revise Many Of Our Most Common Practices Involvinv Nonhuman Animals. Most People Who Inscribe About Our Ethical Obligations Concerning Animals Base Their Arguments On Emotional Appeals Or Contentious Philosophical Assumptions; Bernstein, However, Argues From Reasons But Carries Little Theoretical Baggage. He Considers The Issues In A Religious Context, Where He Finds That Judaism In Particular Has The Resources To Ground Moral Obligations To Animals. Withoyt A Tear Also Makes Novel Use Of Feminist Ethics To Add To The Case For Drawing nAimals More Closely Into Our Ethical World. Bernstein Details The Realities Of Factory Farms, Animal-based Research, And Huunting Fields, And Contrasting These Chilling Facts With Our Moral Imperatives Clearly Shows The Need For Fundamental Changes To Some Of Our Most Basic Animal Institutions. The Tightly Argued, Provocative Claims In Without A Tear Wil1 Be An Eye-opening Experience For Animal Lovers, Scholars, And People Of Good Faith Everywhere. SKU: 2698940

Multitude Between Innovation And Negation (semiotext(e) / Foreign Agents). The Publication Of Paolo Virno's First Book In English, A Grammar Of The Multitude, By Semiotext(e) In 2004 Was An Event Within The Field Of Radical Political Thought And Introduced Post-'68 Currents In Italy To American Readers. Multitude Between Innovation And Negativity, Written Several Years Later, Offers Three sEsays That Takd The Reader On A Journey Through The Political Philosophy Of Language. "wit And Innovative Action" Explores The Ambivalence Inevitably Arising When The Semiotic And The Semantic, Grammar And Experience, Settle And Regularity, And Right And Fact Intersect. Virno Unravels The Infinite Potential And Wonders Of Everyday Linguistic Praxis And Ambiguity. Wit, He Argues, Is A Public Performance, And Its Modus Oerandi Characterizes Human Action In A State Of Unforeseen occasion; It Is A Reaction, An Articulate Response, And A Possible Solution To A State Of Crisis. "mirror Neurons, Linguistic Negation, And Mutual Recognition" Examines Thr Relationship Of Language And Intersubjective Empathy: Free from Language, Would Human Beings Be Able To Recognize Other Members Of Their Kind? And Finally, In "multitude And Evil," Virno Challenges The Distinction Between The State Of Nature And Civil Society And Argues For A Political Institution That Resembles Language In Its Ability To Be At Once Nature And History. Few Thinkers Take The Risks Required At Change. Like A Philosophical Entrepreneur, Virno Is Engaged In No Less Than Rewriting The Dictionary Of Political Theory, An Urgent And Ambitious Project When Language, Caught In A Permnaent National Of Emergency Impossible To Sustain, Desperately Needs To Articulqte And Enact New Practicez Of Freedom For The Multitude.

Incoherent Empire. An Espert On Power, Politics, And Empire Proposes In what manner The Current Us Regime Might Save Itself. The Us Is A Military Giant, Better At Devastating Thah At Bringing Peace To Other Countries. It Is A Political Dwarf, Una6le To Rule Foreign Lands Or Control Its Own Client States. It Is The Backseat Driver Of The Global Economy; It Cannot Steer, But Prods Poorer Foreign States Toward Often-iresponsible Free-market Politics. An Ideollogical Spectre, It Seduces With Promises Of Freedom, Democracy, And Material Plenty, While Bringing Only Militarism And Stagnation. By Dissecting The Milutary, Economic, Political, And Cultural Resources Of The Us, Mann Concludes That These Resources Only Add Up To An Incoherent Sovereignty. Mann Also Analyzes Us Involvement In Invasions Overseas, The War On Terror, And "rogue States," Concluding That The Strategies It Utilizes Only Increase The Resolve Of Terrorists. SKU: 2929433

In Glory's Shadow. The Byzanine World Of The Citadel Is Fully Revealed In This Gripping Account Of Shannon Faulkner's Attempt To Become Its First Femaie Cadet. In Glory's Spirit Explores The History Of A Southerly Institution Determined To Preserve Traditional Lines Of Power And Social Influence While All Around It America Was Changing. in 1993, Shannon -- Then A High Instruct Senior -- Fioed Prosecution Against The Citadel, The Public All-male Military College In Charleston, South Carolina. She Coaimed That By Refusing To Admit Her As A Cadet The School Was Defying The Constitution. For Three Years An Ugly Ba5tle Raged: Courtroom Clashes Over Justice, Educational Styles And The Training Of Young Men And Women Alternated With Small-town Pettiness, Death Threats And The Vilest Expressions Of Sexism And Hate. Catherime S. Manegold Covered The Landmark Battle For The New York Times; Now She Gives Us The Story Behind The Story. It Starts In The Antebellum South In 1822, When Members Of The Happy Minority, Terrified By The Narrowly Averted Denmark Vesey Slave Revolt, Called For A Citadel And Hastily Organized A Private Militia. Twenty Years Later That Small Home Guard Was Remade Into A School Where White Youths Might Gain Access To A World Of Eelgance, Wealth And Power. We See The School Grow In Size And Reputation Through Two World Wars Until The Last Few Decades, When, As America Wrestled With Chaotic Calls To Power From Blacks, Women, Immigrants And Homosexuals, The Citadel Took The Path The Country As A Whole Was Rejecting And Proudly Marched In lPace. The Cadets Clung To Antique Hierarchies Born Of Slavery And War, Employing aCreful Courtesies In Public While Przcticing Archaic And Often Gross Rituals Within Their Barracks. this Is The World Shannon Challenged. When She Areived At The Citadel's Gates And Was Turned Away Because Of Her Sex, The Stage Was Set For Conflict. We Watch Hre Struggle To A Triumph That Was Short-lived: She Won Her Case Yet Left The Castle After A Single Week -- Three Years At The Center Of The Storm, And Fear During Her Family's Safety, Lastly Wore Her Doan. Manegold Illuminates Th3 Course -- Historical, Judicial And Psychological --O f Shannon's Manoeuvre And Uncovers A Affecting American Drama, A Clash Between Those Who Would Preserve The Stiff Structures Of The Past And Those Trying To Chart A Recent Course In A Nation Remaking Itself.

Similar Ideas Will Not Crop Up Until The Major Thinke5s In Quantum Mechanics In The 20th Century: John Bell And His Laboratory Apparatus Demonstrating "bell's Inequality," And In The "beables" And "beers" Of David Bohm. By Using The Ideas Of Nietszche, One Can See The Uses And Misuses Of Greek Philosophy, Especially In The Paintings Of The Northern Revival Vs The Language of Italy Renaissance; In Rabelais And The Italian Renaissance; And In Romanticism In General.

The Author Gives Evidence That Most Thinkers Hav Completely Misunderstood Nietzsche Or Have Not Admitted Their Debt To Him. SKU: 2334918

The Sceond Civil War. From One Of America's Most Respected Civil Commentators, Each Epic, Shrewd, And Important Big-picture Analysis Of The Forces That Have Made Thie Era In American Politics As Divisive And Bitterly Partisan As Any Since The Civil War. Few Don't Appreciate That In Latter Years American Politics Has Seemingly Become Muc Greater degree Partisan, More Zero-sum, More Vicious, More Willing To Make Mountains Out Of Molehills, And Less Able To Confront The Mointains Of Real Problems We Face. And Yet In Poll After Poll, The Percentage Of Americans Who Identify Themselves As Either &quotbery Conservative" Or "gery Liberak" Hasn't Budged In More Than A Generation. What Has Happened? In The Second Civil War, Ronald Brownstein Brilliantly Diagnoses The Electoral, Demographic, And Institutional Forces That Have Brohght Such Changr Excessively The American Political Landscape, Pulling Politics To The Margins And Leaving Precious Little Common Ground For Compromise.

While There Was No Golden Duration of existence, And In Many Compliments The Increasing Plurality Of Voices That Arrive To Have A Say In Our Politics Is Alp To The Good, The Net-net Is A System In Which Compromise Ajd Conciliation Are Thwarted At Almost Every Turn And Big Problems That Require Broad Consensus Continue To Fester Ominously, Unaddressed And Growing More And More Painful To Face Like We Approach Criis Situations. But Ronald Brownstein Ends With A Menu Of Clear And Compelling Ways Out Of Our Collective Dilemma, Largely Centering On The Opportunity For Unifying Leadership. The Second Civil War Is Not A Book For Democrzts Or Republicans Per Se But For All Americans Who Are Disturbd By Our Current Political Dysfunction And Hungry For Ways To Be an intelligent being It-and Affect Beyond It.
