God, Evil, and Ethics presents the basic elements of the philosophy of religion tradition in a new and provocative way. The author’s original philosophical narrative is interspersed with rich selections from Plato, Boethius, Thomas Aquinas, Anselm, Pascal, Descartes, Paley, Leibniz, Hume, Hegel, Kant, Mill, Stephen, Royce, James, and Clifford. Included are Plato’s complete Phaedo and Euthyphro, Hume’s complete essays "Of Miracles" and "On Suicide," several other unabridged works, and many excerpted pieces. The history and concepts of philosophy of religion emerge more clearly through this integration and interrelation of classical texts with modern summary and interpretation. The aim of God, Evil, and Ethics is to bring together as much important material as possible, as logically as possible, in as few pages as possible for high-quality "one-stop shopping" at a reasonable cost. It is appropriate for students in four-year college, junior college, community college, upper-level prep school, and post-graduate non-credit enrichment courses in the philosophy of religion, as well as for the intelligent general reader.

The purpose of Die at the Right Time! is not to memorialize yesterday, but to inspire today and tomorrow. If it helps any present or future leftists, war resisters, or young visionaries to avoid past mistakes or to improve on past successes, then it will have achieved this purpose.

The Alliance for Clinical Education (ACE) is proud to announce its newest text. Dr. Poncelet and Dr. Hirsh eagerly developed an encyclopedic chapter for the 4th edition of the ACE Guidebook for Clerkship Directors, and it seemed logical and proper to grow that chapter, which had been truncated for the Guidebook, into this book. They have assembled the leading international experts in the field of the medical school longitudinal integrated curriculum, who in turn have generated what we are sure will be considered the ultimate resource for these experiences. This book fills a significant void in the medical education literature.

Schmidt (1819-1864) was the last Young Hegelian and -- maybe-- the first existentialist. This book satirizes the science and philosophy of the German 1840s, particularly Max Stirner's "unique" egoist, replacing him with the non-egoistic, but undefinable, individual. Conservative theologian Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg's contemporary -- and hostile -- review is added as an appendix.

Critical Thinking and Logic: A Philosophical Workbook is an inexpensive but comprehensive introduction. Examples and homework problems touch on philosophical issues much more so than standard texts, providing instructors an opportunity to ease into philosophical discussions as desired and piquing student interest. Homework assignments are on tear-out pages for ease of use. While Critical Thinking and Logic: A Philosophical Workbook covers standard issues of critical thinking such as argument types and fallacies, it also provides a solid foundation for an advanced course in formal logic. The final chapter includes a complete translation of Descartes's Meditations, allowing students to put their newly acquired skills to work on a classic work of philosophy.

Critical Thinking and Logic: A Philosophical Workbook

"No find was more important to me ... than this little ... introduction to Kierkegaard's epistemology ... comprised primarily of passages extracted from Kierkegaard's works, with only occasional additions of analysis of their meaning. The relative paucity of analysis is explicable, however, by the fact that the passages more or less explain themselves. That is part of what makes the book so important. It shows very clearly that one does not have to dig deep to see that epistemological concerns were central to Kierkegaard's thought. ... This little book provides a necessary corrective to the view that ... epistemological concerns did not figure largely in his works. They did. ... This book is valuable ... not simply as an introduction to Kierkegaard's epistemology, but also as an introduction to the historical reception of Kierkegaard's thought. It is rich with references to such early Kierkegaard scholars as Olaf Peder Monrad, Harald Höffding, and Albert Bärthold, to name just a few. It demonstrates unequivocally not only that many early scholars got Kierkegaard wrong, but also that some actually got him right, and that we can benefit even today from reading them." -- from the foreword by M.G. Piety
