These essays discuss various ontological and epistemological questions in moral philosophy, drawing on ideas from Platonic-Aristotelian ethics, the later Wittgenstein, and Iris Murdoch, though without seeking to weave these into any unified system. The general approach is realist or objectivist, paying some attention to the role of imaginative literature (especially the novel) in ethical formation. A common theme is the lived experience of the socially situated subject, including our capacity for engagement with the values present in an inherited tradition or 'form of life'. Such engagement, once raised to consciousness, may contain elements both of affirmation and of cultural critique. In the book as a whole, the critical theme predominates, with a certain emphasis on discourses of social disruption. But it is always assumed that the right place to stand as an observer of the domain of value is within that domain, and that moral critique will be immanent with respect to the culture addressed—that is, it will make do with just the conceptual and linguistic resources available to ordinary participants in moral, political, or aesthetic conversation.

Cultural Criticism In the two dozen essays written over a nine-month span, from 2020 to 2021, G.V. Loewen attempts to cast the darkest denizens of our own dubious days into the less lurid chiaroscuro of cultural critique. The sense throughout that saying is also doing and that words thus carry a greater gravity than is often given them, should be kept in mind. For us, if the word and the deed are to be brought together, at once ethics and aesthetics must again be separated, if never to be utterly parted. They must travel beside one another, in mutual aid, but they cannot simply become each other, as they did during the period beginning with Goya and ending with Bacon, with the 1920s and 1930s reaching the high-water mark of this culture critique. For us, the ‘scandal of art’, as Paul Ricoeur has aptly put it, must indeed ‘balance’, or at the least balance out, the ‘scandal of the false consciousness’. But the scales upon which this confrontation occurs is held by the hand of ethics alone. [Adapted from the preface] With compassion and criticism both, Loewen’s second collection of essays on Culture and cultures alike places the reader at the heart of contemporary existence. With titles such as ‘The Depth Psychology of Nervous Wrecks’, ‘Who was that Unmasked Man?’, ‘Rendering unto Caesar’s Palace’, ‘Gender: the ever-bending story’, and ‘Gandalf Hitler’, we are immediately aware that this heart is one of contradiction, conflict, even absurdity. In a word, it is wholly and irrevocably human, and it is to this humanity, much more realistic than anything either the PC or Neo-Con forces could ever muster, that the philosopher directs us. And we would be wise to attend.

When the early Christian author Tertullian asked what Jerusalem has to do with Athens, he could not have anticipated the intellectual, cultural, and social challenges facing Christians in the twenty-first century. But his question is no less relevant today. What does life in Christ have to do with the stuff of our daily lives--our work, education, citizenship, and behavior? What are we on earth to do? In this wide-ranging collection, J. Daryl Charles shares insights from nearly thirty years of reflecting on these and related questions. Wisdom's Work explores the earthiness of the Christian life through essays on vocation, work, ethics, education, and the calling of believers to be salt and light in the world--the real world that we inhabit every day.

The volume will be of interest to students of modern philosophy, German intellectual and cultural history, and literary theory.

The Ethics of Survival in Contemporary Literature and Culture delves into the complex problems involved in all attempts to survive. The essays analyze survival in contemporary prose narratives, short stories, poems, dramas, and theoretical texts, but also in films and other modes of cultural practices. Addressing diverse topics such as memory and forgetting in Holocaust narratives, stories of refugees and asylum seekers, and representations of war, the ethical implications involved in survival in texts and media are brought into a transnational critical discussion. The volume will be of potential interest to a wide range of critics working on ethical issues, the body, and the politics of art and literature.

All humans laugh. However, there is little agreement about what is appropriate to laugh at. While laughter can unite people by showing how they share values and perspectives, it also has the power to separate and divide. Humor that "crosses the line" can make people feel excluded and humiliated. This collection of new essays addresses possible ways that moral and ethical lines can be drawn around humor and laughter. What would a Kantian approach to humor look like? Do games create a safe space for profanity and offense? Contributors to this volume work to establish and explain guidelines for thinking about the moral questions that arise when humor and laughter intersect with medicine, gender, race, and politics. Drawing from the work of stand-up comedians, television shows, and ethicists, this volume asserts that we are never just joking.

The boundaries of citizenship have been blurred by global information systems--while the public and private spheres have been reshaped through globalization (and colonialism and capitalism). This collection of new essays explores information and citizenship in the digital age from a range of perspectives, presenting cautionary tales along with possibilities for "decolonizing" digital information and literacy. Topics include Wikileaks and the dissolution of information; ethical issues for teachers, policy makers and librarians; and creating safe spaces through ethical librarianship.
