Book excerpt: In the rugged and unforgiving land of the American frontier, where honor and loyalty can be as dangerous as a loaded gun, Cortland Enders finds himself entangled in a web of obligation and deceit. When he crosses the path of a powerful man, he becomes a fugitive from the law. Desperate to avoid prison, Cort is forced to accept an agreement with Sienna, the influential widow of his late friend and employer and current owner of the Circle H Ranch. In exchange for his freedom, he must play the role of her new husband. The catch? She’s dying, and Cort will inherit the ranch. For anyone else, it would seem like the deal of a lifetime, but for a free spirit like Cort, it’s almost worse than prison.

A scarred beauty of uncommon strength and courage, she immediately captures Cort's heart. Sparks fly, and he is torn between his loyalty to Sienna and his growing feelings for Lark.

Download or read book Moral Dilemmas written by Daniel Statman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral dilemmas set a challenge for ethical theory. They are situations where agents seem to be under an obligation both to do, and to refrain from doing, a specific act. Are such situations possible? What is their exact nature? These are the questions that Moral Dilemmas tries to answer. The book argues that moral theories should not allow for the possibility of irresolvable dilemmas, for situations in which no right answer exists. To this end, arguments seeking to prove the existence of irresolvable dilemmas, especially the argument from the incommensurability of values, are discussed at length and refuted. The book shows that though on the normative level dilemmas are resolved, they typically involve a high moral cost for which there is no adequate compensation. This moral cost is the source of the regret and pain suffered by agents in moral dilemmas. Thus, moral dilemmas do not point to any inconsistency in our moral reasoning or theory, but to a problematic aspect of the human condition; at times (probably less often than is usually believed), human beings are justified, and even required, to dirty their hands by behaving in ways that in ordinary situations would be strictly forbidden and condemned.

Download or read book Enquiry Concerning Political Justice written by William Godwin and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great polemics and the key founding anarchist text, Godwin's Enquiry is his major work of political philosophy. Enquiry Concerning Political Justice established William Godwin as the chief exponent of British radicalism, in the tradition of the French Revolution. In it, he criticizes the 'brute engine' of government for systematizing oppression of individual liberty in the name of law and order, and calls for the abolition of all forms of rule and for the institution of an anarchist society based on the principles of simplicity, sincerity and equality. His book influenced everyone from Shelley and Coleridge (who revered him) to Thomas Malthus (who wrote his Essay on the Principle of Population in outraged response to him). The book's ideas would later echo through the writings of thinkers as diverse as Proudhon, Kropotkin, Marx and Thoreau, and it remains one of the great polemics of political literature. William Godwin, the famous philosopher and novelist, was born in East Anglia in 1756. The son of a Presbyterian minister, he was educated to follow in his father's footsteps, but subsequently lost his faith in God. He then devoted himself to writing, expounding his enlightenment and anarchist ideals in novels and essays. In 1797 he married Mary Wollstonecraft, the famous feminist; their daughter would grow up to be Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein. Godwin died in 1836. Isaac Kramnick is the Richard J. Schwartz Professor of Government at Cornell where he has taught since 1972. He has written or edited some twenty books among which his Bolingbroke and His Circle: The Politics of Nostalgia in the Age of Walpole won the Conference of British Studies Prize for best book on British politics.
