Book excerpt: Isaac Grey was born to be the main character, and he knows it. Though, were it up to him, that would not be the case. He wants a quiet, normal life. For seventeen years he's done everything he can to avoid the lead role.

Isaac subverts the expectations of the main character at every turn in this witty, first person contemporary tale of one young mans struggle with letting go of the past. Cursed to be the protagonist of a story he wants nothing to do with, he struggles with his own ideals, and what his heart tells him is right. Isaac Grey may not be the bad guy, but he is certainly No One's Hero

Download or read book Even When No One is Looking written by Jan Hábl and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not a list or an overview of various theories of ethics. Nor is it a didactic manual for specific teaching units on moral education aimed at some group based on age or a particular theme (although some educational frameworks will be proposed). As the title suggests, the book intends to seek the starting points or foundations without which no moral education would be possible. The goal is to formulate and tackle the key questions that precede all moral education. What makes "good vs. evil" language possible and meaningful? Can virtue be taught and learned? What makes our actions good? What is the condition of human nature? Are we naturally good, or evil? What constitutes an educator's right to morally influence anyone else (not just a child)? What is the goal of moral education? What does a morally educated person look like? And how can we ensure the coveted moral result? Or--in the words of Jan Amos Comenius, the "teacher of nations"--how to educate a person to not only know what is good, but also to want what is good, and to do what is good "even when no one is looking?"

Download or read book The Hero in Contemporary American Fiction written by S. Halldorson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-12-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out to write nothing short of a new theory of the heroic for today's world. It delves into the "why" of the hero as a natural companion piece to the "how" of the hero as written by Northrop Frye and Joseph Campbell over half a century ago. The novels of Saul Bellow and Don DeLillo serve as an anchor to the theory as it challenges our notions of what is heroic about nymphomaniacs, Holocaust survivors, spurious academics, cult followers, terrorists, celebrities, photographers and writers of novels who all attempt to claim the right to be "hero."

Download or read book Rousseau as Author written by Christopher Kelly and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-02-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Rousseau, "consecrating one's life to the truth" (his personal credo) meant publicly taking responsibility for what one publishes and only publishing what would be of public benefit. Christopher Kelly argues that this commitment is central to understanding the relationship between Rousseau's writings and his political philosophy. Unlike many other writers of his day, Rousseau refused to publish anonymously, even though he risked persecution for his writings. But Rousseau felt that authors must be self-restrained, as well as bold, and must carefully consider the potential political effects of what they might publish: sometimes seeking the good conflicts with writing the truth. Kelly shows how this understanding of public authorship played a crucial role in Rousseau's conception—and practice—of citizenship and political action. Rousseau as Author will be a groundbreaking book not just for Rousseau scholars, but for anyone studying Enlightenment ideas about authorship and responsibility.
