Freedom and Modernity
Winfield (philosophy, U. of Georgia) charges that the self- determination assailed by the postmodern credo is a strawman, and that spurning the autonomy of reason and action is not possible without that very independence. He then unveils an alternative self-determination, to legitimate both knowledge and conduct. Also available in paper (unseen), $14.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Belching Out the Devil
Mark Thomas -- a legendarily seditious comedian and human rights activist -- is a recovering Coca-Cola addict, a self-described "middle-aged fat dad with asthma" who decides to trek around the globe investigating the stories and people Coca-Cola's iconic advertising campaigns don't mention: child laborers in the sugarcane fields of El Salvador, Indian workers exposed to toxic chemicals, Columbian labor union leaders in Coke bottling plants falsely accused of terrorism and jailed alongside the paramilitaries who want to kill them. At once hilarious and disturbing, Thomas builds a very detailed and damning case against the world's most ubiquitous drink.
Schelling's Philosophy
The current wave of critical and historical engagement with idealist texts affords an unprecedented opportunity to discover the richness and value of the thought of F. W. J. Schelling. In this volume leading scholars offer compelling reasons to regard Schelling as one of Kant's most incisive interpreters, a pioneering philosopher of nature, a resolute philosopher of human finitude and freedom, a nuanced thinker of the bounds of logic and self-consciousness, and perhaps Hegel's most effective critic. The volume provides a wide-ranging presentation of Schelling's original contribution to, and internal critique of, the basic insights of German idealism, his role in shaping the course of post-Kantian thought, and his sensitivity and innovative responses to questions of lasting metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, aesthetic, and theological importance.

Amazing people are irritating, aren't they? The turn up, uninvited, make you feel great about yourself until you forget to repay the favour and they vanish. Since September 1995, I've been haunted. Not by a ghost, but by confusion. At the age of seven, a brief encounter with a brand new person had a major impact on me as a person. From the day she vanished until right now, my behavior and attitude has been shaped by her, yet it's taken me more than a quarter of a century to realise. Of course, reminding myself how young I was when this began, I just did my best to ignore the facts, until a devastating loss came about and showed me everything in a new light. This strange friend was a unique person. The way she made me feel, her obvious signs of unbelievable attraction, her mysterious homelife, and her accent all contributed to my fascination with her at the time. The fact that she then disappeared told me everything about her was a dream and I should stop being so stupid...
