When asked why people obey the law, legal scholars usually give two answers. Law deters illicit activities by specifying sanctions, and it possesses legitimate authority in the eyes of society. Richard McAdams shifts the prism on this familiar question to offer another compelling explanation of how the law creates compliance: through its expressive power to coordinate our behavior and inform our beliefs.
"McAdams's account is useful, powerful, and--a rarity in legal theory--concrete...McAdams's treatment reveals important insights into how rational agents reason and interact both with one another and with the law. The Expressive Powers of Law is a valuable contribution to our understanding of these interactions." --Harvard Law Review
"McAdams's analysis widening the perspective of our understanding of why people comply with the law should be welcomed by those interested either in the nature of law, the function of law, or both...McAdams shows how law sometimes works by a power of suggestion. His varied examples are fascinating for their capacity both to demonstrate and to show the limits of law's expressive power." --Patrick McKinley Brennan, Review of Metaphysics

Aristotle once said: "some animals are cunning and evil-disposed...some are gentle and easily tamed...some kinds of animals burrow...some animals are nocturnal...others use the hours of daylight..." In this little collection of animal stories, you will find animals that fit these descriptions and others that have characteristics and personalities that fit no particular category. These are animals going about the business of being animals, dealing with their daily lives, even though it may look a bit cock-eyed to the humans around them. One story may touch your heart, while another may leave you in awe...one or more may inspire or tug at the corners of your mouth but hopefully all will entertain.

Описание: Edgar Allan Poe often set the scenes of his stories and poems with music: angels have the heartstrings of lutes, spirits dance, and women speak with melodic voices. These musical ideas appear to mimic the ways other authors, particularly Romanticists, used music in their works to represent a spiritual ideal artistic realm. Music brought forth the otherworldly, and spoke to the possible transcendence of the human spirit. Yet, Poe's music differs from these Romantic notions in ways that, although not immediately perceptible in each individual instance, cohere to invert Romantic idealism. For Poe, artistic transcendence is impossible, the metaphysical realm is unreachable, and humans cannot perceive anything but their own failure of spirit. In this book, I show how we can look at Poe's poems and stories on the whole to discover this, and in doing so, unpack some of Poe's mysticism along the way.
