Описание: "Nucci" is fiction fueled by fact. A coming-of-age saga across three generations. His story and vintage photos place you in his world of thrills and secrets--an insider's story of triumphs and betrayals.Nucci's family, the Loyal Repenskys, was a celebrated troupe of equestrian bareback riders John Ringling brought to America in 1933. "Nucci's" adventures include encounters with Hitler's Sturmabteilung in Berlin, Fidel Castro in Havana before his Cuba takeover, and witnesses to Somosa's attempted assassination in Nicaragua. "Nucci" begins in 1944 when two-year-old, Nucci, and his mother survive the fire that destroyed Ringling's big top during a performance in Hartford, Connecticut. Later, Nucci's estranged father dies attempting the quadruple somersault. Nonno--Italian for grandfather--tells Nucci he must fulfill his father's legacy. Enter 10-year-old Burt, Nucci's neighbor and a year older. Nonno tricks Burt into catching Nucci on low casting. After the family's circus tour of Cuba, the boys return to a thirty-two-foot-high flying trapeze rigging. Nonno's goal: the triple somersault. The next years see the boys polish their flying skills. When they're ready for the triple, Nonno succumbs to cancer. The boys are grief stricken. Willie, a retired flyer, shows up as coach. The boys, now 18 and 19, learn the major tricks.The triple is achieved at a resort's summer circus in Georgia. There, the boys are coached by an enigmatic man whose secrets lead them all to the height of trapeze stardom. Will the quadruple somersault be attempted? What happens comes with shocks testing everyone--and may kill Nucci. "Nucci's" denouement is a series of revelations that shock, surprise, and gratify everyone.

Описание: What sort of thing is the mind? And how can such a thing at the same time- belong to the natural world,- represent the world,- give rise to our subjective experience,- and ground human knowledge?Content, Consciousness and Perception is an edited collection, comprising eleven new contributions to the philosophy of mind, written by some of the most promising young philosophers in the UK and Ireland. The book is arranged into three parts. Part I, “Concepts and Mental Content”, which begins with an attack by Hans-Johann Glock on the representational theory of mind, addresses the nature of mental representation. Part II, “Consciousness and the Metaphysics of Mind”, concerns the prospects for a naturalistic metaphysics of the conscious mind. Finally, Part III, entitled “Perception”, pursues the project of giving a satisfactory philosophical account of perceptual experience.The book begins with an introductory essay by the editors, which provides an overview of the state of contemporary philosophy of mind, locating the articles to follow within that context.The individual chapters of Content, Consciousness and Perception are professional contributions to their respective areas, of interest to any philosopher of mind. The volume as a whole is ideal for non-specialists and students interested in getting to grips with the state of the art in contemporary philosophy of mind.

Описание:

Ethics Without Intention tackles the questions raised by difficult moral dilemmas by providing a critical analysis of double effect and its most common ethical and political applications. The book discusses the philosophical distinction between intended harm and foreseen but unintended harm. This distinction, which, according to the doctrine of double effect, makes a difference to the moral justification of actions, is widely applied to some of the most controversial ethical and political questions of our time: collateral damages in wars and acts of terrorism; palliative care, euthanasia, abortion, and embryo research; self-defence, suicide, and self-sacrifice. It is also crucial to the now notorious theoretical cases of the trolley problem and the knobe effect.

Di Nucci approaches the doctrine of double effect from four key directions: its historical origins, which can be traced further back than the classic attribution to Aquinas; its theoretical coherence, which is the subject of a lively contemporary debate in philosophy; its moral intuitiveness, which has always been taken for granted but has recently begun to be questioned; and finally its relevance to the difficult moral and political decisions of our time. An engaging and comprehensive introduction to the doctrine of double effect.
