Thomas Reid on the Ethical Life

By: Terence Cuneo

This Element presents the rudiments of Thomas Reid's agency-centered ethical theory. According to this theory, an ethical theory must address three primary questions. What is it to be an agent? What is ethical reality like, such that agents could know it? And how can agents respond to ethical reality, commit themselves to being regulated by it, and act well in doing so? Reid's answers to these questions are wide-ranging, borrowing from the rational intuitionist, sentimentalist, Aristotelian, and Protestant natural law traditions. This Element explores how Reid blends together these influences, how he might respond to concerns raised by rival traditions, and specifies what distinguishes his approach from those of other modern philosophers.

The Literature of Ireland

Culture and Criticism

By: Terence Brown

One of Ireland's foremost literary and cultural historians, Terence Brown's command of the intellectual and cultural currents running through the Irish literary canon is second to none, and he has been enormously influential in shaping the field of Irish studies. These essays reflect the key themes of Brown's distinguished career, most crucially his critical engagement with the post-colonial model of Irish cultural and literary history currently dominant in Irish Studies. With essays on major figures such as Yeats, MacNeice, Joyce and Beckett, as well as contemporary authors including Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Michael Longley, Paul Muldoon and Brian Friel, this volume is a major contribution to scholarship, directing scholars and students to new approaches to twentieth-century Irish cultural and literary history.

The Silence of Unknowing

The Key to the Spiritual Life

By: Terence Grant

A liberating guide to inner healing, this book challenges the myth that enduring personal change can be achieved through any self-improvement program. Instead, The Silence of Unknowing fosters personal transcendence at the most meaningful spiritual level, through self-awareness & self-understanding. Mystics of all religions have always known that the key to spiritual life is self-knowledge, & now seekers of Christian & other faith traditions will find a new ally & teacher in Terence Grant. In this engaging & accessible guide for daily living that draws its strength from both Zen & Christian mysticism, Grant illuminates the relevance of spiritual concepts often avoided as to abstract. Examples: Original sin is presented as the desire to be more, better, or different than one is; Repentance is defined as a turning toward God, not a mortifying sense of guilt. Grant presents a wise & insightful blend of biblical exegesis, wry fables, & humorous anecdotes based on his popular meditations that have been enthusiastically received by thousands of listeners in parishes & retreat centers across the nation.
