(P/B) ETHICAL COMMUNICATION
Proponents of professional ethics recognize the importance of theory but also know that the field of ethics is best understood through real-world applications. This book introduces students and practitioners to important ethical concepts through the lives of major thinkers ranging from Aristotle to Ayn Rand, John Stuart Mill to the Dalai Lama. Some two dozen contributors approach media ethics from five perspectives - altruistic, egoistic, autonomous, legalist, and communitarian - and use real people as examples to convey ethical concepts a...

(H/B) FICTION REFRACTS SCIENCE
In Fiction Refracts Science, Allen Thiher demonstrates that major modernists, in their concern with the sciences, were strongly influenced by them. He argues that there are direct relations between science and the formal shape of fiction developed by some of the most important modernists. Especially relevant for his arguments are modern cosmology and quantum mechanics, as well as examples from mathematics, biology, and medicine. Thiher begins his study by examining the question about the two cultures - scientific and humanistic - that is o...

(P/B) ILLIBERAL JUSTICE
Often considered the greatest American political philosopher of the twentieth century, and the most important liberal theorist since John Stuart Mill, John Rawls enjoys a practically sacrosanct status among scholars of political theory, law, and ethics.

(H/B) PLATO THROUGH HOMER

(H/B) THE STRANGE DEATH OF MARXISM - THE EUROPEAN LEFT

ORDER AND HISTORY (VOLUME FIVE) (H/B)
(. . .) First, this last book effects Voegelin's definitive theoretical break with Enlightenment rationalism as the form of modern philosophy and its replacement by meditative rationality or noesis, thereby reviving a mode of inquiry that goes back to Saint Augustine's ''Confessions'' and to Plato's dialogues. The book itself is a persuasive analysis of meditative analysis as the substantial form of philosophizing requisite, if the exploration of the heights and depths of reality is to be conducted in openness to truth and not be vitiated ...

(H/B) NEW POLITICAL RELIGIONS, OR AN ANALYSIS OF MODERN TERRORISM
In New Political Religions, or an Analysis of Modern Terrorism, Barry Cooper applies the insights of Eric Voegelin to the phenomenon of modern terrorism. Cooper points out that the chief omission from most contemporary studies of terrorism is an analysis of the "spiritual motivation" that is central to the actions of terrorists today. When spiritual elements are discussed in conventional literature, they are grouped under the opaque term religion. A more conceptually adequate approach is provided by Voegelin's political science and, in par...
