Interpreting the Personal

The lives of five individuals are shared after they are greeted in heaven by Wisdom, their ten-foot-tall guardian angel and a member of Gods hierarchy. Julie, a sixty-seven-year-old pizza shop owner from New Orleans; Abbie, a twenty-seven-year-old rock star from Santa Monica; Rashid, a twenty-five-year-old Taliban officer from Pakistan; Tiny, a forty-six-year-old partner in an accounting firm from Chicago; and Sophia, a fifty-four-year-old Jewish stand-up comic from South Miami, are all guided throughout the heavenly realm by Wisdom, experiencing a heaven they never dreamed existed. The five forge a bond while meeting in the Garden of Tranquility, crossing the Sea of Reconciliation, and reconnecting with family, friends, and pets on the other side. Their arrival at the heavenly mansion prepared for them is celebrated with a homecoming party featuring a feast and a concert by many famous artists. After the party, Wisdom transports them to Mount Transfiguration, the highest mountain in heaven, where they get their first glimpse of New Jerusalem, The City of God, a glittering and magnificent golden walled city which shines with the brilliance of millions of gems. From their vantage point, they marvel at the vista that spreads before them, captivated by its breathtaking beauty and vastness. Their journey, however, has only just begun.

The Parental Leave Playbook

Susan E. Babbitt

By definitively establishing that racism has broad implications for how the entire field of philosophy is practiced—and by whom—this powerful and convincing book puts all members of the discipline on notice that racism concerns them. It simultaneously demonstrates to race theorists the significance of philosophy for their work. A distinguished cast of authors takes a stand on the importance of race, focusing on the insights that analyses of race and racism can make to philosophy—not just to ethics and political philosophy but also to the more abstract debates of metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and epistemology. Contemporary philosophy, the authors argue, continues to evade racism and, as a result, often helps to promote it. At the same time, anti-racist theorists in many disciplines regularly draw on crucial notions of objectivity, rationality, agency, individualism, and truth without adequate knowledge of philosophical analyses of these very concepts. Racism and Philosophy demonstrates the impossibility of talking thoughtfully about race without recourse to philosophy. Written to engage readers with a wide variety of interests, this is an essential book for all theorists of race and for all philosophers.

This book offers a feminist philosophical analysis of contemporary public skepticism about women's memories of past harm. It concentrates primarily on writings associated with the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF), founded in 1992 as a lobby for parents whose adult children have accused them of some abuse after a period of having not remembered it.
