Vexed : ethics beyond political tribes / by Mumford, James,author.(CARDINAL)832954;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-208) and index.Introduction: package-deal ethics -- Inclusivity: should liberals back assisted suicide? -- Family values: why social conservatives should raise wages -- Sufficiency: why the left and sexual liberation make bad bedfellows -- The sanctity of life: what's pro-life about an AR-15? -- Reverence for nature: why greens shouldn't become cyborgs -- Personal responsibility: why the right should release ex-offenders -- Conclusion: moral imagination -- Acknowledgements -- Notes -- Permissions -- Index."In Vexed, James Mumford tackles the polarization of civil society across the democratic West, taking a fresh look at the existential questions and "hot button" issues that are an essential part of the politics of the Left and Right. In examining issues like the "right-to-die" movement and assisted suicide, family values and economic injustice, sexual liberation and consent, gun-control and abortion, the environment and technology, criminal justice and reform, Mumford questions the basic assumptions of our political groups. His challenge is simple: "Why should believing strongly about one topic mean the automatic adoption of so many others?" With this refreshing and eye-opening book, James Mumford, a public thinker and independent commentator, has written an essential and provocative account that will appeal to anyone of independent thought, and a welcome call for new reflection on the moral issues most relevant to our modern way of life."--How do we consider ethics in an era in which politics has become personal and polarized into the package deals offered by the Left and the Right?

When the stars begin to fall : overcoming racism and renewing the promise of America / by Johnson, Theodore R.,III(Theodore Roosevelt),author.;
Includes bibliographical resources and index.Part I: The challenge for America. The primary threat to America ; The veiled threats exposed -- Part II: American, but black: lessons for national solidarity. Superlative citizenship ; Inclusion trickles down ; Black solidarity -- A framework for national solidarity. Finding civil religion ; Racism is a crime of the state ; Solidarity is not colorblind -- Part IV: A path toward national solidarity. National solidarity as the right response to racism.""Racism is an existential threat to America," Theodore R. Johnson declares at the start of his profound and exhilarating book. It is a refutation of the American Promise enshrined in our Constitution that all men and women are inherently equal. And yet racism continues to corrode our society. If we cannot overcome it, Johnson argues, while the United States will remain as a geopolitical entity, the promise that made America unique on Earth will have died. When the Stars Begin to Fall makes a compelling, ambitious case for a pathway to the national solidarity necessary to mitigate racism. Weaving memories of his own and his family's multi-generational experiences with racism, alongside strands of history, into his elegant narrative, Johnson posits that a blueprint for national solidarity can be found in the exceptional citizenship long practiced in Black America. Understanding that racism is a structural crime of the state, he argues that overcoming it requires us to recognize that a color-conscious society--not a color-blind one--is the true fulfillment of the American Promise. Fueled by Johnson's ultimate faith in the American project, grounded in his family's longstanding optimism and his own military service, When the Stars Begin to Fall is an urgent call to undertake the process of overcoming what has long seemed intractable"--Amazon.

The warrior poet way : a guide to living free and dying well / by Lovell, John(Veteran),author.(CARDINAL)878565;
"From the founder of the Warrior Poet Society, a daring manual on how to become a dangerous-and good-man. There is a war on masculinity, and everywhere we look-on every front we hold sacred-we can see the painful reminders of this collapsing order. The chaos and crisis we are experiencing today should be a signal for men everywhere to rise up; to fight to preserve our way of life by once again walking the ancient paths. But this isn't a journey that need be taken alone. In The Warrior Poet Way, public speaker, former Army Ranger, and all-around patriot John Lovell offers a needed antidote to the lack of strong men in our modern world. This is a call to all men to be what they truly are. Both dangerous and good. Lovers and fighters. Lions and lambs. Both philosophical and practical, this guide dispenses essential advice on how to be a whole man, from tyranny-proofing your home to wooing the right woman. Through anecdotes of his time in the military, interviews with other men, and practicums at the end of each chapter, Lovell teaches the virtue of balance-navigating the tension between violent warrior and romantic poet-and guides men through each mental and physical change they must make to embody the ancient spirit of a real man. This is a manual for every man to use in the fight of their life-and what it takes to win. No good thing comes easy, and the life you want is just on the other end of what you don't want to do. This is the Warrior Poet Way. Are you ready to walk it?"--Introduction: a forgotten brotherhodd -- A world in need of warriors -- The most dangerous man in the room -- Battle the inner coward -- Face death before you die -- The war of ideas -- Every warrior needs a muse -- Learn to dance -- Goddness, not greatness -- Raise little poets -- How to stay free -- Conclusion: live free, die well.
