Summary

In "The Ethics of Immanuel Kant," the philosopher presents a rigorous exploration of moral philosophy rooted in the principles of duty and the categorical imperative. Kant meticulously delineates a framework that prioritizes rationality and autonomy, positioning ethics not merely as a series of prescribed morals but as an imperative grounded in reason. His literary style is characterized by precision and a systematic approach, as he engages with the works of his predecessors and contemporaries to refine his philosophical stance. The text stands as a pivotal work in the Enlightenment tradition, inviting readers to contemplate the universality of ethical laws applicable to all rational beings. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), a central figure in modern philosophy, was profoundly influenced by the tumultuous political landscape of his time, alongside the emerging scientific thought. His experiences in the Prussian Enlightenment and the struggles between rationalism and empiricism served as a backdrop that inspired his inquiry. These intellectual currents informed his quest for a foundational moral philosophy that transcends empirical inclinations, leading to the formulation of his ethical theories. Readers seeking to understand the critical underpinnings of modern ethical thought will find "The Ethics of Immanuel Kant" an indispensable text. Kant'Äôs work remains vital in contemporary moral discourse, fostering an understanding of the importance of reason in ethical deliberations. It is a profound invitation to engage with the philosophical underpinnings of morality and the ongoing quest for a rational ethical framework.

    In "Searching for Harry Chapin’s America: Remember When the Music," journalist Pat Fenton describes his road trips to the towns and people that inspired Harry Chapin’s most renowned songs. While Fenton’s account includes exclusive interviews with Chapin’s family and associates, and an excerpt from Chapin’s unpublished writings, the audio adaptation includes actual cuts from Chapin's best-known songs. Composer and multi-instrumentalist David Amram, who narrates Fenton's chronicle, performs his own brief interludes of "incidental music," where he was inspired to do so.Harry Chapin (1942-1981) was a legendary top-charting American songwriter in the 1970s and ’80s. During his lifetime, Chapin was nominated twice for a Grammy Award: in 1972 for Best New Artist, and in 1974 for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance. In 2011, thirty years after his untimely death, Chapin’s Number One-charting song, “Cat’s In the Cradle,” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. "Searching for Harry Chapin’s America" was published on July 16, 2021, and is a fortieth-year commemoration of this musical icon’s tragic death in a car crash on July 16, 1981.  The audio adaptation follows a year later, in July, 2022, and extends the tribute to Chapin's legacy of songs and philanthropy."Like 'Don Quixote,' or 'On the Road,' Pat Fenton’s classic book takes you on an unforgettable series of journeys and makes you feel that you are now welcome to be with the people and places that Harry Chapin memorialized in his timeless songs."—David Amram, composer/multi-instrumentalist/author “A portrait of an age as well as an artist. Chapin was an American original who combined Walt Whitman’s lyric realism with Woody Guthrie’s passionate truth-telling. Fenton’s blend of sympathy, honesty, and insight gives us the man in full. Fenton’s talents as a master storyteller have never been on better display.” 	 —Peter Quinn, novelist/political historian

    We all have memories of our favorite encounters. They exist like dark little red rooms lining the corners of the hallways of our minds. Some are revisited often, others we happen upon when it is least expected, interrupting your thoughts like little pangs in the middle of a conversation. It's easy to want to revisit those rooms again and again, and at the same time, there's this desire to keep them untouched and sacred. 
These are brief, re-tellings of my favorite pang-inducing erotic memories. Some of them haven't happened yet, others are so etched into my psyche that they'll always be a part of this house. 
Enjoy.
