Editorial Review:

Reese opens with a discussion of personal freedom and control, and then examines the definitions of freedom in light of decision-making, want and obligation, and internal (personal) factors. A discussion of definitions leads to a single, concluding, workable definition and the placement of personal freedom within that definition. Included are valuable selections from Aquinas, Aristotle, Brand Blanshard, Descartes, Paul Edwards, Hegel, Hobbes, Hume, James, Locke, Nietzsche, Sartre, Skinner, Voltaire, and others."Freedom" is the first in a series of eight brief volumes devoted to the major philosophical problems. This new series will eventually include separate volumes on values, self, truth, beauty, right and wrong, social philosophy, and God and immortality. These volumes are appropriate for introduction to philosophy courses, particularly those with problems-based formats. Each study guide opens with an introduction, questions for discussion, and an outline of the topic, followed by classic readings.

Editorial Review:

Raising the war on political correctness to a new and higher intellectual level, Philip Devine sheds fresh light on the whole question of cultural standards and the fashionable notion of multiculturalism. While acknowledging the diversity of ways of life and the differing belief systems that arise from and justify those ways of life, the author attacks the current exploitation of diversity to justify a militantly intolerant relativism. His wide-ranging and erudite work connects cultural issues to our real-world existence as biological and historical beings, pulling together ideas of bioethics, education, and the structure and purpose of families. This work will be of interest to those fighting the culture wars across the humanities and social and behavioral sciences.

Humanism With a Human Face: Intimacy and the Enlightenment

Editorial Review:

Beginning with the thesis that Humanism has its roots both in the Enlightenment and in Transcendentalism, this book explores the consequences of taking such a point of view. Radest criticizes the desertion of Enlightenment values such as freedom, human solidarity, and rationality, as well as the failure of Humanists to understand the subjective and emotional features of their history. Out of this exploration, which is a consequence of both personal experience and philosophic analysis, Radest concludes that Humanism, and by implication, modernism are still dynamic and relevant modes of response to the problems of human beings.
