Broadway Books. Paperback. New. Paperback. 288 pages. A leading cognitive scientist argues that a deep sense of good and evil is bred in the bone. From John Locke to Sigmund Freud, philosophers and psychologists have long believed that we begin life as blank moral slates. Many of us take for granted that babies are born selfish and that it is the role of societyand especially parentsto transform them from little sociopathsinto civilized beings. In Just Babies, Paul Bloom argues that humans are in fact hardwired with a sense of morality. Drawing on groundbreaking research at Yale, Bloom demonstrates that, even before they can speak or walk, babies judge the goodness and badness of others actions; feel empathy and compassion; act to soothe those in distress; and have a rudimentary sense of justice. Still, this innate morality is limited, sometimes tragically. We are naturally hostile to strangers, prone to parochialism and bigotry. Bringing together insights from psychology, behavioral economics, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, Bloom explores how we have come to surpass these limitations. Along the way, he examines the morality of chimpanzees, violent psychopaths, religious extremists, and Ivy League professors, and explores our often puzzling moral feelings about sex, politics, religion, and race. In his analysis of the morality of children and adults, Bloom rejects the fashionable view that our moral decisions are driven mainly by gut feelings and unconscious biases. Just as reason has driven our great scientific discoveries, he argues, it is reason and deliberation that makes possible our moral discoveries, such as the wrongness of slavery. Ultimately, it is through our imagination, our compassion, and our uniquely human capacity for rational thought that we can transcend the primitive sense of morality we were born with, becoming more than just babies. Paul Bloom has a gift for bringing abstract ideas to life, moving seamlessly from Darwin, Herodotus, and Adam Smith to The Princess Bride, Hannibal Lecter, and Louis C. K. Vivid, witty, and intellectually probing, Just Babies offers a radical new perspective on our moral lives. From the Hardcover edition. This item ships from multiple locations.

It is to be distinctly understood that neither this Convention nor the Committee of Revision created by it intends to have these doses regarded as obligatory on the physician or as forbidding him to exceed them whenever in his judgment this seems advisable. The Committee is directed to make a distinct declaration to this effect in some prominent place in the new Pharmacopoeia. 3. Nomenclature. It is recommended that changes in the titles of articles at present official be made only for the purpose of insuring greater accuracy, or safety in dispensing. In the case of newly admitted articles, it is recommended that such titles be chosen as are in harmony, with general usage and convenient for prescribing; but in the case of chemicals of a definite composition a scientific name should be given at least as a synonyme. 4. Assay Processes. The Committee is instructed to append assay processes to as many of the potent drugs and preparations made therefrom as may be found possible, provided that the processes of assay are reasonably simple (both as to methods and apparatus required) and lead to fairly uniform results in different hands. As regards the products of such assays, tests of identity and purity should be added wherever feasible. Physiological tests for determining strength should not be introduced by the Committee. 5. Purity and Strength of Pharmacopceial Articles. The Committee is instructed to revise as carefully as possible the limits of purity and strength of the pharmacopoeial. . .

Excerpt: . . . contemporary art, went to the other extreme of symbolism, mysticism and individualism. If we lay aside the external characteristics of the decadence in Russian art which are most obvious and will doubtless be a matter of more or less dispute, there are two elements in the Russian decadence which really give it its distinction and make for it a prominent place in the evolution of Russian art. And whether we are in sympathy with it or not, for these reasons we cannot afford to ignore it. In the first place the modernists set against the cold formalism of the academicians of those days who could not and would not understand the demands of modern art; in the second place, they strove to embody and clothe their ideals and abstractions in sensuous form by symbolism and by a return to the tremendously earnest and naive primitive art in which they sought inspiration for the freshness and truth they felt was lacking in the old school. In these two aspects of their work lie their weakness as well as their strength and individuality, and they took infinite pains to amplify, suggest or symbolize their thoughts by every artifice or drawing, color or even exaggeration. This is the instinct of the radical. Somovs The Fire-Bird, a frontispiece to a book of verses by Balmont But for the fullest appreciation of these modernists and their significance in esthetic history we need more than a technical consideration: the modernist movement requires a modernist appreciation, and there were mighty few men in Russia who at the time inderstood the significance of the new movement in art. However, these malcontents who broke away from the academy and the naturalistic schools henceforth decided to shift for themselves and forthwith incorporated. . .

Dimensions: 8.3in. x 5.5in. x 0.8in.In the wake of a disappearing Modernism and with an unpredictable post-Modernism confounding the art establishment, a world-renowned critic proposes a new vision for the critical enterprise. Thomas McEvilley confronts, in these six straightforward essays, the ideas and philosophies which have exalted art above constructive involvement in the world for two centuries. The formalist aesthetics of Clive Bell, Roger Fry, Clement Greenberg, and Susan Sontag are specifically criticized, revealing their buried assumptions and agenda. The persistence of the Romantic idea of Self is discovered at the heart of Modernism along with ideas of Spirit secretly enshrined in the distinction between abstraction and representation. Mr. McEvilley goes on to shed new light on the roots of Modernism, the collapse of the idea of history, and the subsequent development of a global discourse. He brings to Art and Discontent a commanding knowledge of Greek and Egyptian art, Western and non-Western philosophies, and the most avant garde of contemporary art and artists. In explaining why our Modernism was not unique and why it is being superseded, McEvilley suggests the functions that art can perform in a post-Modern culture and offers compelling reasons why the history of art needs to be rewritten from a thoroughly renewed perspective.

Thus you shall find a distracted man fancying himself a king, with a right inference require suitable attendance, respect, and obedience: others who have thought themselves made of glass, have used the caution necessary to preserve such brittle bodies. Hence it comes to pass that a man who is very sober, and of a right understanding in all other things, may in one particular be as frantic as any in Bedlam; if either by any sudden very strong impression, or long fixing his fancy upon one sort of thoughts, incoherent ideas have been de quelque raison de la liaison des plus les mimes; ce qui trompe souvent perceptions, que les sensations settles ne ceux qui ne se gouvernent que par sauraient donner; leur effet netant lessens. . . .

Excerpt: . . . is base to obtain it by flattery and cajolery; the virtue which affection follows is least to be rejected. But often (for I return to Scipio, whose whole discourse was about friendship), he used to complain that in all other things men were more diligent; so that everyone could tell how many goats and sheep he had, how many friends he had, he could not tell; and in procuring the former that they employed care, but were neglectful in the selection of friends, nor had they, as it were, certain signs and marks by which they could judge who were fit subjects for friendship. Therefore the firm, steadfast and constant are to be chosen, of which kind there is a great scarcity, and it is in truth difficult to form an opinion, unless one is experienced: experience. must therefore be obtained respecting friendship itself, thus friendship gets ahead of judgment, and takes away the power of getting experience. It is therefore the part of a wise man to hold in check, the impulsive course of goodwill like a chariot, in order that we may make use of our friendships like trained horses, the character of our friends having been in some degree made trial of: certain men often, in the matter of a small sum of money, are seen to be very worthless; some whom a small amount of money could not move are recognised in the case of a large sum. But if some will be found after searching who think it a mean thing to prefer money to friendship, where shall we find those who do not prefer honour, magistracies, empire, power and wealth before friendship So that when these are proposed on one side and the law of friendship on the other they do not much prefer the former. For nature is slothful to despise power, and though they have obtained it, indeed, by neglecting. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub, RareBooksClub. Paperback. New.
