Genovese Presenting many slaveholders as intelligent, honorable and pious, the text asks how they presided over a social system inflicting gross abuses.

The most important tribe in the formative years of the American Republic, the Cherokee became the test case for the Founding Fathers' determination to Christianize and "civilize" Indians and to incorporate them into the republic as full citizens.

In this provocative study, Bruns argues that the culture of modernism is a kind of anarchist community, where the work of art is apt to be as much an event or experience -- or, indeed, an alternative form of life -- as a formal object.

Focusing on the existential roots of evil rather than on the occasions for its appearance, Kahn argues that evil originates in man's flight from death. As his interpretations of Genesis lead him to inquiries into a variety of modern forms of evil -including slavery, torture, and genocide -- he urges us to see that the opposite of evil is not good, but love: while evil would master death, love would transcend it. 248pgs. • 2010 ◆ • Princeton • P • $24.95 / $11.98 049458 OUTLINES OF SCEPTICISM Sextus Empiricus The fullest extant account of ancient scepticism, this work is also one of our most copious sources of information about other Hellenistic philosophies.

To be a "commonsense realist" is to hold that perceptual experience is in general an immediate awareness of mindindependent objects, and a source of direct knowledge of what such objects are like. The essays in this volume address such issues as the status of causal requirements on perception, the causal role of perceptual experience, and the relation between objective perception and causal thinking. 384pgs. • 2011 ◆ • Oxford University • P • $45.00 / $9.98 125799 PHILOSOPHY AND THE MIRROR OF NATURE Rorty, Richard In this volume, which hit the philosophical world like a bombshell when it was first published, Rorty argued that the questions about truth posed by Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and modern epistemologists and philosophers of language were unanswerable and, moreover, were irrelevant to serious social and cultural inquiry.
