Origins of American Pluralism

How did early Americans learn to live with differences in matters of the highest importance to them -- and how did they find

125651 PRIMATES AND PHILOSOPHERS: How Morality
Evolved
De Waal, Frans
In this provocative book, a primatologist argues that modernday evolutionary biology takes far too dim a view of the natural world, emphasizing our "selfish" genes. Science has thus
exacerbated our reciprocal habits of blaming nature when we
act badly and labeling the good things we do as "humane."

Kierkegaard's Writings, VI

The benchmark against which all modern books about
Nietzsche are measured. When it was written in the immediate aftermath of World War II, most scholars outside

AND SOLIDARITY
Rorty, Richard
Rorty argues that thinkers such as
Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein have
enabled societies to see themselves as
historical contingencies, rather than as
expressions of underlying, ahistorical
human nature, or as realizations of
suprahistorical goals, but Rorty himself
believes that it is literature and not philosophy that can do
this, by promoting a genuine sense of human solidarity.

Rorty, Richard
In this volume, which hit the philosophical world like a
bombshell when it was first published, Rorty argued that the
questions about truth posed by Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and
modern epistemologists and philosophers of language were
unanswerable and, moreover, were irrelevant to serious
social and cultural inquiry. The book remains a must-read

Atkins, Peter
"The scientific method," writes Atkins, can
shed light on every and any concept, even

128341 OUT OF EDEN: Adam and Eve and the Problem
of Evil
Kahn, Paul W.
Focusing on the existential roots of evil rather than on the
occasions for its appearance, Kahn argues that evil originates
in man's flight from death. As his interpretations of Genesis
lead him to inquiries into a variety of modern forms of evil -including slavery, torture, and genocide -- he urges us to see
that the opposite of evil is not good, but love: while evil would
master death, love would transcend it. 248pgs. • 2010

The 1912 Lectures on Freudian
Psychoanalysis
Jung, C. G.
In the autumn of 1912, Jung set out his
critique and reformulation of the theory of psychoanalysis in a series of lectures that led to a schism in the
Freudian school. Seen in the light of the
subsequent reception and development
of psychoanalysis, Jung's critiques appear strikingly prescient, while also laying the basis for his own school of analytical psychology. 168pgs. • 2011
