Chicago Review Press Die Nigger Die!: A Political Autobiography of
Book SynopsisMore than any other black leader, H. Rap Brown, chairman of the radical Black Power organization Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), came to symbolize the ideology of black revolution. This autobiography—which was first published in 1969, went through seven printings and has long been unavailable—chronicles the making of a revolutionary. It is much more than a personal history, however; it is a call to arms, an urgent message to the black community to be the vanguard force in the struggle of oppressed people. Forthright, sardonic, and shocking, this book is not only illuminating and dynamic but also a vitally important document that is essential to understanding the upheavals of the late 1960s. University of Massachusetts professor Ekwueme Michael Thelwell has updated this edition, covering Brown’s decades of harassment by law enforcement agencies, his extraordinary transformation into an important Muslim leader, and his sensational trial.

Rlpg/Galleys Empirical Realism
Book SynopsisOnly in the darkest of hours will a few seriously entertain the haunting possibility, almost unthinkable, that at the end of the day our best sense of the world, and of what is abidingly good, is an error. Does then the universe really have a guiding moral structure which is at once integral to the quality of human life? Empirical Realism is Clark''s sustained, challenging and original argument for moral realism, one which not only provides the badly needed account of normativityof what it is exactly that constitutes genuine moral obligationbut which also anchors that account within a comprehensive philosophical theory. The author''s position, rigorously developed and defended, provides a trek through issues central to classical and contemporary philosophy. Masterfully navigating his readers through the global realism/antirealism debate in Parts I and II, his eruditionsensitive yet unflinchingknows no shortcuts. David Clark''s first book goes on to show how intrinsic value, a value whiTrade ReviewVery few philosophers would take on the scope and reach of this volume. Fewer would manage the task with as much eloquence and elegance as David Clark. Spanning a range of integrated topics in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and ethics, Clark offers a highly novel and spirited defense of realism which includes substantive discussion of core issues in philosophy of technology and environmental ethics—two topics not usually covered in such conversations. This book will surely thrill some and outrage others. Whatever one's response, the ride Clark takes us on with this ambitious volume is well worth the trip. -- Andrew Light, New York UniversityDavid Clark takes up Richard Sylvan's famous challenge to create a new environmental ethic....Additionally, his identification of prohibitions against the destruction of a rich life and the infliction of horrifying experience upon another being seem promising normative principles for the treatment of human and non-human others and go some way towards solving the anthropocentrism problem. As well, those interested in the possibilities for a Heideggerian ethics will find valuable material for reflection here. -- Richard Matthews, Mount Allison UniversityDavid Clark's book is an ambitious and far-reaching defense of a robust form of moral realism. Overall Clark's book engages the contemporary analytic literature in a wide range of key areas, including the latest work on moral realism. His position is novel and challenging, rooted in an abiding respect for our everyday moral experience, yet at the same time sensitive to the ways in which that experience can be corrupted or distorted by culture and moral tradition. His sensibilities are poetic, and his account of the dignity we can discover in the objects of everyday experience is courageous and powerful. -- Gregory Velazco y Trianosky, California State UniversityTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction and Overview Chapter 2 In Search of the World Well Lost: Realism vs Antirealism Chapter 3 The Midas Touch: The Enigma of Empiricism and the Dogma of Pragmatism Chapter 4 Harnessing the Midas Touch: The World Recovered Chapter 5 Psychological Meaning: Intrinsic to Internal Processes?

State University Press of New York (SUNY) John Dewey and Environmental Philosophy Suny
Book SynopsisA comprehensive look at how John Dewey''s ethics can inform environmental issues.Hugh P. McDonald''s John Dewey and Environmental Philosophy breaks new ground by applying Dewey''s insights to a new approach to philosophy of the environment; the concern for the rights of animals; the preservation of rare species, habitats, and landscapes; and the health of the whole ecology. The book summarizes much of the current literature on environmental ethics, concentrating on the writings of major figures in the movement: Tom Regan, J. Baird Callicott, Holmes Rolston, and Bryan Norton. The heart of the book consists of a detailed analysis of Dewey''s ethics, his theory of intrinsic value, and his holistic approach to moral justification. Arguing against the idea that Dewey''s philosophy is anthropocentric, McDonald makes a strong case that using Dewey''s philosophy will result in a superior framework for environmental ethics.
