You suffer from a serious problem: you're too ignorant to recognize your own ignorance. But don't feel bad, because virtually all of us suffer from this problem. But do feel bad about this problem's catastrophic consequence, which surely sounds all too familiar: humans love to speak but hate to Listen. The lack of Proper Listening is catastrophic because it means that barely anyone ever truly understands what someone is trying to say to them. So you could be saying something perfectly true or rational to someone--whether they're a stranger or your own spouse--and it will simply have no desired effect on them, because they're not Properly Listening. And vice versa. This essay-book attempts to destroy this catastrophic yet ignored problem, by targeting the root cause: the natural human arrogance. Your natural human arrogance is preventing your Proper Listening. So it's pointless trying to ENCOURAGE you to start Properly Listening in your life--you won't do it. Therefore, this essay-book attempts to COMPEL you to start Properly Listening in your life, all for your own good. It attempts this by destroying your natural human arrogance, using a dog. Order "Destroying the Human Arrogance" first for yourself, and then for that person in your life who you finally want to have no choice but to start Properly Listening to you.

The exciting follow-up to I Will Abolish the Bow: Christianity, Personhood, and the End of Animal Exploitation, Pride Goes Before Destruction takes a critical look at factory farming, which is driven by humanity’s pride towards animals. Fitting to the title, this relationship with animals has bled into human affairs, as factory farming is responsible not only for animal cruelty but also for antibiotic resistance, environmental destruction, climate change, and many other issues. Matthew A. King criticizes humanity’s pride and offers a biblical solution to its consequences: The New Covenant in Jesus Christ. Bristling with persuasive historical evidence and thoughtful, biblical interpretation, King makes a compelling case for the inclusion of animals within the sphere of Christian moral consideration, which can help heal humanity’s fractured relationship with the planet and even their own health. Additionally, this book answers many questions and offers supplemental material to build on the arguments established in I Will Abolish the Bow.

Christopher Hitchens, described in the London Observer as “one of the most prolific, as well as brilliant, journalists of our time” takes on his biggest subject yet–the increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world. In the tradition of Bertrand Russell’s Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris’s recent bestseller, The End Of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope’s awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.

Economists have worked for centuries to present their core lessons to the general public in ways that are accurate and reflective of its true implications for our lives. Great economists, not always in the mainstream, have always known that economics is about the flourishing of human beings and the need for open societies that allow for experimentation, innovation, and the emergence of the order that only liberty can beget. In The Four Pillars of Economic Understanding, Peter J. Boettke has made a genuine contribution, building on the works of the great minds of the past to provide a new and unique presentation for the current age. This work puts every reader in the position of being Professor Boettke's student and holds the potential to be recognized as a seminal and classic statement concerning the implications of economics for our lives. The American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, was founded in 1933 as the first independent voice for sound economics in the United States. Today it publishes ongoing research, hosts educational programs, publishes books, sponsors interns and scholars, and is home to the world-renowned Bastiat Society and the highly respected Sound Money Project. The American Institute for Economic Research is a 501c3 public charity.

In the 21st century and in a globalized world, how can an ethic of responsibility orient the powerful human striving for the enhancement of life? – This question is at the center of the program of theological humanism developed by the American ethicist William Schweiker. His ethic of responsibility takes the integrity of all human as well non-human life as a central criterion for the enhancement of life. The contributions of this collection dedicated to William Schweiker discuss and explore key elements of his work, in exemplary studies and from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. They examine the contours of this ethic, analyze the claims of a moral realism, and investigate the backgrounds of his theological humanism. [Verantwortung und Lebensverbesserung] Wie kann eine Ethik der Verantwortung im 21. Jahrhundert in einem globalen Horizont des Handelns das machtvolle menschliche Streben nach einer Verbesserung des Lebens orientieren? – Diese Frage steht im Mittelpunkt des Programms eines theologischen Humanismus des amerikanischen Ethikers William Schweiker. Die von ihm vertretene Verantwortungsethik beansprucht die Integrität des menschlichen wie nicht-menschlichen Lebens als Maßstab. Die Beiträge dieses William Schweiker gewidmeten Bandes diskutieren und befragen aus philosophischen, ethischen, historischen und systematischen Perspektiven anhand exemplarischer Studien zentrale Elemente dieses Entwurfs. Sie beleuchten die Konturen dieser Ethik, analysieren deren Grundlagen in einem moralischen Realismus und erforschen die Hintergründe eines theologischen Humanismus.
