Free Download Holocaust of the Childlike: The Progress of a Spiritual War By Daniel Schwindt, Lindsey Schwindt
2013 | 238 Pages | ISBN: 1492895474 | EPUB | 1 MB
The war that lies at the back of every other is the timeless war on the childlike. Whether the object of hostility is the spiritual child or the actual physical child, civilization has been arranged to suppress and ultimately destroy all forms of innocence. For anyone who has ever asked "What is wrong with the world?", or even more, "What is wrong with kids these days?", this sweeping analysis of the spirit of the child against the spirit of the modern world offers an answer.In part one, author Daniel Schwindt traces the tendency of man to offer up his own innocence at the altar of the world. Here he clearly identifies the virtues of spiritual childlikeness, and points out the subtle ways in which it is being destroyed. From the Garden of Eden to the European Enlightenment; from ancient idolatry to modern materialism; from wisdom of Tradition to the universal liberalism of today; everywhere the spiritual extermination of the childlike is on the rise. Part two moves to the open and obvious attack on the actual physical child. Schwindt shows that man has built for himself a world that is actively hostile to his own children. Every stage and area of life is examined: infancy, education and literacy, family life, child labor, television, technology, youth protest, and violence. In the end, the physical child will always follow man’s innocence to the sacrificial altar. As this great war reaches its peak, and the holocaust of the childlike becomes ever more obvious, men will need an outline of the battlefield. This book is a reconnaissance into enemy territory, seeking to offer that outline for anyone who cares to fight back.

Free Download Community and Progress in Kant’s Moral Philosophy By Kate A. Moran
2012 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 0813219523 | PDF | 2 MB
Immanuel Kant’s moral philosophy has often been criticized for ignoring a crucial dimension of community in its account of the lives that agents ought to lead. Historical and contemporary critics alike often paint Kant’s moral theory, with its emphasis on rationality, as overly formalistic and unrealistically isolating. Against these criticisms, Kate A. Moran argues that Kant’s moral philosophy reserves a central role for community in several important respects.In the first part of her book, Moran asserts that Kant’s most developed account of the goal toward which agents ought to strive is actually a kind of ethical community. Indeed, Kant claims that agents have a duty to pursue this goal. Moran argues that this duty entails a concern for the development of agents’ moral characters and capacities for moral reasoning, as well as the institutions and relationships that aid in this development. Next, Moran examines three specific social institutions and relationships that, according to Kant, help develop moral character and moral reasoning. In three separate chapters, Moran examines the role that moral education, friendship, and participation in civil society play in developing agents’ moral capacities. Far from being mere afterthoughts in Kant’s moral system, Moran maintains that these institutions are crucial in bringing about the end of an ethical community.The text draws on a wide range of Immanuel Kant’s writings, including his texts on moral and political philosophy and his lectures on ethics, pedagogy, and anthropology. Though the book is grounded in an analysis of Kant’s writing, it also puts forward the novel claim that Kant’s theory is centrally concerned with the relationships we have in our day-to-day lives. It will, therefore, be an invaluable tool in understanding both the complexities of Kant’s moral philosophy, and how even a liberal, deontological theory like Kant’s can give a satisfying account of the importance of community in our moral lives.
