Freedom Evolves
Dennett shows that human freedom is not an illusion; it is an objective phenomenon, distinct from all other biological conditions and found in only one species - us. There was a time on this planet when it didn't exist, quite recently in fact. It had to evolve like every other feature of the biosphere, and it continues to evolve today. Dennett shows that far from there being an incompatibility between contemporary science and the traditional vision of freedom and morality, it is only recently that science has advanced to the point where we can see how we came to have our unique kind of freedom.
The Neglected Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
Author: Richard P. Mullin
language: en
Publisher: AllrOneofUs Publishing
Release Date: 1900
The Holy Spirit is a dimension of Godhood which is not given much attention, yet one that is critical for our spiritual development. In this work Richard Mullin shows how the contribution of American Philosophers at the turn of the 20th century can serve as a basis to reenvision theology. Importantly, he distinguishes the historical church with all its shortcomings and the Universal or "Beloved Community." Read this work if you are seeking a mature spiritual vision and one for which the church is a task that remains to be completed.
An Atypical Theory of Justice
What does justice mean for individuals whose cognition diverges from these implicit norms? Can a theory of fairness truly be universal if it fails to account for autism, ADHD, psychopathy, and other forms of neurodiversity? Palak Singh confronts these questions head-on by exposing the neurotypical biases embedded in liberal theories of justice and proposing a radical alternative: an atypical, neuropluralistic justice. Through a critical engagement with Rawls, Kant, Nussbaum, and feminist and disability theorists, she reveals how psychopathic instrumentalism, autistic rule-based reasoning, and other atypical cognitive profiles disrupt conventional notions of reciprocity, public reason, and moral personhood. Yet rather than dismissing these disruptions as anomalies, Singh reframes them as catalysts for reimagining justice itself. At its core, this book advances a revised social contract—one where the ‘veil of ignorance’ includes cognitive variation, ensuring principles of fairness are robust across neurotypes. From education to criminal law, it charts a path towards a society where neurodivergent individuals are not merely accommodated but recognized as essential to human flourishing and as equal participants in shaping collective life, arguing for an ‘Atypical Theory’ for ‘atypical minds.’ Timely and provocative, An Atypical Theory of Justice bridges political philosophy, cognitive science, and disability studies to offer a groundbreaking and transformative framework. It argues for a world where justice is measured not by its adherence to a neurotypical standard but by its capacity to embrace the full spectrum of human cognition.
