EOW - Holistic Scoring, Prompts and Models

The nature of American expansion during the late nineteenth century is discussed from different points of view in these essays. They focus on the extent to which the nation's expansionist policies were carefully directed by high-level policy makers, were the result of drift and inertia among policy makers, or were the result of a widely shared sense of mission or destiny which was deeply ingrained in the American tradition.

Before the publication of this book, the author, at the urging of medical students, had initiated very popular annual courses in "The Philosophy of Medicine." These courses covered such subjects as population control, abortion, euthanasia, anxieties, psychotropic drugs, sex deviations, marriage, social problems, and crime. Consequently, this book, written for the professional as well as the nonprofessional, evolved along these lines in discussions with religious, legal, medical, and other groups. The twenty contributors were carefully chosen experts, including ministers, attorneys, psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists, and family counselors. Several of the specialists have published highly popular books in their field.

The New Killing Fields revisits Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and East Timor-sites of four of the worst instances of state-sponsored killing in the last half of the twentieth century-in order to reconsider the success and failure of U.S. and U.N. military and humanitarian intervention.Through original essays and reporting by, among others, David Rieff, Peter Maass, Philip Gourevitch, William Shawcross, George Packer, Bill Berkeley, and Samantha Power, The New Killing Fields reaches beyond headlines to ask vital questions about the future of peacekeeping in the next century. In addition, theoretical essays by Michael Walzer and Michael Ignatieff frame the issue of both past and future intervention in terms of today's post-Cold War reality. As human rights abuses increasingly occur in "failed states" such as Afghanistan, which pose international security threats, the future of human rights will not be, as it once was, considered solely a question of the beneficence and charity of the West. The prominent group of reporters and academics assembled here ponder these questions in light of their extensive experience, and reveal a fascinating set of conclusions, and further questions, about the future of human rights in the next century.

The papers collected in this companion volume to Professor Summers' "Essays in Legal Philosophy" have a common theme in that they all offer a general assessment of a major thinker in the history of legal philosophy. The address themselves to questions such as the following: What is the nature of Bentham's critique of law, and what are its limits? How might Dean Pound's main contributions to jurisprudence be characterized and evaluated? What criticisms may be made of Hans Kelsen's concept of a legal system? Is Professor Lon L. Fuller's theory of "technological" natural law viable? What are the strengths and weaknesses of Professor H. L. A. Hart's analysis of law as a "union of primary and secondary rules"? The essays reflect a more or less distinctive set of critical standards and points of view characteristic of modern analytical philosophy. These standards and points of view as applied to law are themselves worthy of careful study, and the editor's extended introduction has been prepared with precisely this possibility in mind. The essays should prove of interest to students and professionals in the fields of law, philosophy and the social sciences.

There are, in particular, at least three sets of questions that deserve to be distinguished in discussions on the morality of war. The first relates to the behavior of countries as opposed to persons. The second area concerns the rightness or wrongness of an action when contrasted with the praise or blame resulting from that behavior. The third area involves the differences between particular acts, particular wars, and war as an institution. Other questions altogether, or more refined versions of these questions, will doubtless occur to each reader as he confronts the following selections from recent writings on the morality of war. This collection will, in my judgment, not be a distinctive success if it answers for anyone most of the important questions concerning the morality of war. But the collection will be a success, and a significant one at that, if it convinces people that fundamental questions do in fact exist - questions upon which the peculiar abilities of philosophy can most appropriately and importantly be brought to bear.
