Book excerpt: Book Three - The Aryis Chronicles.After many years of war and upheaval, it seemed as if the wounds of the past could finally heal. To begin that process, the Protectorate Authority rushes to crown its heroes. Chief among those to be honored, Daric Konan is quickly promoted to a significant position that places him close to the highest levels within the Protectorate system. Unfortunately for him and his people, the past would once again reach out to plunge them into the violence of war. After sending his friends and new love on a suicide mission through the vortex, Daric leads the Authority forces against an indestructible, alien foe. Facing certain annihilation, a coalition of forces fights savagely while those across the vortex pray for a miracle. The final chapter is just the beginning...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 1989 book Rorty argues that thinkers such as Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein have enabled societies to see themselves as historical contingencies, rather than as expressions of underlying, ahistorical human nature or as realizations of suprahistorical goals. This ironic perspective on the human condition is valuable on a private level, although it cannot advance the social or political goals of liberalism. In fact Rorty believes that it is literature not philosophy that can do this, by promoting a genuine sense of human solidarity. A truly liberal culture, acutely aware of its own historical contingency, would fuse the private, individual freedom of the ironic, philosophical perspective with the public project of human solidarity as it is engendered through the insights and sensibilities of great writers. The book has a characteristically wide range of reference from philosophy through social theory to literary criticism. It confirms Rorty's status as a uniquely subtle theorist, whose writing will prove absorbing to academic and nonacademic readers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economics for Alfred Marshall, the last of the classical economists, is concerned with activities in the ordinary business of life. In that milieu, we find conflicts and chaotic behavior among people, firms, and countries, which make them conduct their affairs in different, and sometimes, ironic ways. Economic Ironies Throughout History explores, explains, predicts, and harnesses these ironies for economists and scholars alike. Szenberg and Ramrattan distill their core economic ironies from a vast history of philosophy and literature that applies to economic thought. They include philosophical, psychological, literary and linguistic discussions and the personalities behind those ideas such as Socrates, Kierkegaard, Hume, Freud, Jung, Saussure, and Barthes. This book is ideal for economists as well as scholars across the business, social science, and humanities fields.
