You may have an inclination to do it, but there is still a moment when you can decide to do it or not. This "moment of drama" is more puzzling than it first appears. When you are inclined to do something, are you related to your inclination as rider to horse? As ruler to subject? As thinker to thoughts? Schapiro shows that these familiar pictures fail to confront the central puzzle. Inclinations are motives with respect to which we are distinctively passive. But to be motivated is to be active—to be self-moved. How can you be passive in relation to your own activity? Schapiro puts forward an "inner animal" view, inspired by Kant, which holds that when you are merely inclined to act, the instinctive part of yourself is already active, while the rest of you is not. At this moment, your will is at a crossroads. You can humanize your inclination, or you can dehumanize yourself. Feeling Like It provides a concise and accessible investigation of a new problem at the intersection of ethics, philosophy of action, and philosophy of mind.

This exciting tour of our Universe explores our current knowledge of exoplanets and the search for another Earth-like planet. Beginning with the basic concepts of planet formation and the composition of the Universe, Stuart Ross Taylor summarises our knowledge of exoplanets, how they compare with our planets and why some stars have better habitable zones. Further sections provide a detailed study of our Solar System, as a basis for understanding exoplanetary systems, and a detailed study of the Earth as our only current example of a habitable planet. The book concludes with a philosophical and historical discussion of topics surrounding planets and the development of life, including why our chances of finding aliens on exoplanets is very low. This is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in planetary formation and the exploration of our Universe.

Feuerbach's 1830 work Thoughts on Death and Immortality from the Papers of a Thinker, is his first publication and an important philosophical work that examines the nature of human existence and the question of immortality. Feuerbach would be the primary influence of Marx, and all of Marx's core ideas of Alienation, Dialectal Materialism and class struggle are found in the writings of Feuerbach. Schopenhauer and Nietzsche both take their satirical distichons about religion from Feuerbach. This work is also notable for its critique of traditional religious beliefs, particularly those related to the afterlife. Feuerbach was a prominent figure in the Young Hegelian movement, which sought to challenge the dominant theological and philosophical ideas of the time. "Gedanken über Tod und Unsterblichkeit" was an important contribution to this movement, and it helped to pave the way for the development of atheistic and humanistic philosophies in the nineteenth century. Feuerbach is a critical figure in the development of not merely Marxism, but Materialistic Humanism in general. This is Volume I in the The Complete Works of Ludwig Feuerbach by Livraria Press

Chicalia Prime: a planet whose population is divided between the Light and the Dark – designations denoting physical attributes and nothing else. It is a small and insignificant planet with a plethora of political problems. However, the intricate aftermath to the climax of those problems has spent the last fifty neras or so weaving itself into the fabric of the over-arching authority – the Galactic Fleet – and the purviews thereof. And while it is becoming increasingly evident that there are other forces working against the Fleet yet simultaneous to those intricacies, it is clear that the offspring of Chicalia’s political problems and those loyal to them and their causes will completely re-shape the government of the Fleet – transferring the Fleet’s seat of power from Galactica Triune to the soon-to-be not-so-insignificant Chicalia Prime. One of those intricacies, Captain Shanteela Ka-Lantrel – or Kaylen to her close friends – in command of the Fleet’s crown jewel, Destiny, knows nothing of the Royal blood that runs through her veins. But Kaylen’s destiny along with those under her command have become entwined with that of another – the exiled OverLord Assassin Thetuderal “Thetu” Shaliagn – and his many brothers in arms. So, as life still continues back on Chicalia Prime, it seems the future of the Fleet and, therefore, the galaxy, is being prophetically and passionately unlocked with Thetu and Kaylen at its epi-center. “Out of the ashes of a flawed foundation and damaged framework, Sha’Hylira shall raise an invincible government that will proclaim His name to the far corners of the universe.”

This book is a compilation of 18 short stories gleaned from real life, with a touch of fiction and fantasy. It gives readers a glimpse into the daily lives and experiences of the everyday Indian, in the past and present. In writing this book, the author has attempted to convey her thoughts and musings, while taking the reader on a journey through the struggles and successes of humanity. The stories deal with the ups and downs of young love, an engineers path to ascetism, Indian wedding traditions and some darker themes such as crime and revenge. Every journalist dreams of writing, as do those with a natural flair for storytelling. Inspired by RK Narayan, I, too, embarked on writing short stories. My first book received a modest reception, igniting a strong desire to further my writing career. India's vastness provides ample material for short stories, yet our linguistic divisions prompt reflection: are they a blessing or a curse? They have undoubtedly fostered distinct linguistic communities. Today, young people transcend linguistic and religious boundaries to find love and marry across cultural divides, a trend on the rise. Consequently, India has become a melting pot of diverse religions, cultures, and castes. However, the older generation remains steadfast in their adherence to traditional values and customs. For society to achieve true peace and harmony, they must be willing to adapt and embrace change.
