Book excerpt: Inherited Courage is based on actual events that have happened in a mans life, dictating his destiny to find his true self. The story begins with a young boy who talks of his heritage and family tradition, trying to seek the inherited family traits that his father and grandfather possessed. The boy goes through his own trials and tribulations to determine within himself if he is worthy of the family name and the family traits of honor, bravery, and most of all courage, that have made the Mayfield family reputation so special. These traits have, over time, shaped the boys father and grandfather into remarkable men. Socrates once said, Know yourself. The young boy becomes a man, and through his life he searches every event and action to determine if he possesses any of the family traits. He attempts to locate what he feels will ultimately grant the family title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume work examines far-reaching debates on the concept of courage from Greek antiquity to the Christian and mediaeval periods, as well as the modern era. Volume 1 explains how competing accounts of epistêmê, rational wisdom, and truth dominated classical antiquity. Early Christian and mediaeval thinkers, in contrast, favoured fortitude founded on faith and fear of God over philosophical reasoning left to its own devices. Volume 2 turns to theories of courage from the early modern period to the present. It shows how the twin laws of polis and physis are at the heart of post-medieval thought. Courage is found at the crossroads of love and dread, freedom and fate, happiness and suffering, as well as power and submission to the ruling order. The later influence of evolutionism, existentialism, and the social and natural sciences on moral philosophy is also addressed at some length. The protection of people's best interests, the passions and powers of the human will, and the rule of active energy in all aspects of life supplant courage formerly viewed through the lens of reason or faith, or a combination of the two. These new ideas, paradoxically, herald the end of the ethics of courage. They also undermine the courage of ethical thinking. Courage is no longer an end in itself, nor is it a means to happiness "at the end." Regardless of what Gandhi, Tillich, and Foucault have to say about the topic, late modernity and the global age witness a marked loss of interest in courage as an idea worthy of conceptual investigation. Debates about the moral implications of courage give way to the value-free science of resilience, which studies how people can recover from past trauma and find wellness, primarily in the realm of physis.
