Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't Take My Lemonade Stand-An American Philosophy began when Janie Johnson was not fully satisfied with the answer she gave to her ten-year-old son when he asked, "How do you know who to vote for?" She reviewed what the "experts" (i.e. pundits, politicians, political scientists, etc.) had to say and learned much but still came away unsatisfied. Janie Johnson read the writings and examined the lives of our nation's founders along with those or more modern philosophers such as Thomas Sowell, Charles Krauthammer, Milton Friedman, Charles Kesler, Mark Steyn, and Winston Churchill to help develop her own American philosophy. She created one based on individual liberties that did not include the political corruption and intentional deception we see today. Politicians are "legally" corrupt; the political process is rigged against everyday people; government policies are critically flawed; and we the people are getting squeezed. Don't Take My Lemonade Stand-An American Philosophy has special sections to help parents teach their kids to think for themselves. Use it to take control of who teaches our kids and what they are being taught. The path to peace and prosperity is described in these pages. The issues are critical, and the time to take back our country is now.

Book excerpt: From Grammy-winning musical icon and legendary bassist Victor L. Wooten comes an inspiring parable of music, life, and the difference between playing all the right notes…and feeling them. The Music Lesson is the story of a struggling young musician who wanted music to be his life, and who wanted his life to be great. Then, from nowhere it seemed, a teacher arrived. Part musical genius, part philosopher, part eccentric wise man, the teacher would guide the young musician on a spiritual journey, and teach him that the gifts we get from music mirror those from life, and every movement, phrase, and chord has its own meaning...All you have to do is find the song inside. “The best book on music (and its connection to the mystic laws of life) that I've ever read. I learned so much on every level.”—Multiple Grammy Award–winning saxophonist Michael Brecker

As she began to share her story with those in her personal and professional network, she made an unexpected discovery.

She approached these brave women with the idea of sharing their collective wisdom in a book. The Lemonade Stand was born.

This book is a light for those in the dark. Expect to connect with a network of survivors. No matter how harrowing the ordeal, know that health, joy, and success do return, and are waiting on the other side of calamity.

Download or read book Beyond Realism and Antirealism written by David L. Hildebrand and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the most significant development in American philosophy in recent times has been the extraordinary renaissance of Pragmatism, marked most notably by the reformulations of the so-called "Neopragmatists" Richard Rorty and Hilary Putnam. With Pragmatism offering the allure of potentially resolving the impasse between epistemological realists and antirealists, analytic and continental philosophers, as well as thinkers across the disciplines, have been energized and engaged by this movement. In Beyond Realism and Antirealism: John Dewey and the Neopragmatists, David L. Hildebrand asks two important questions: first, how faithful are the Neopragmatists' reformulations of Classical Pragmatism (particularly Deweyan Pragmatism)? Second, and more significantly, can their Neopragmatisms work? In assessing Neopragmatism, Hildebrand advances a number of historical and critical points: • Current debates between realists and antirealists (as well as objectivists and relativists) are similar to early twentieth-century debates between realists and idealists that Pragmatism addressed extensively. • Despite their debts to Dewey, the Neopragmatists are reenacting realist and idealist stands in their debate over realism, thus giving life to something shown fruitless by earlier Pragmatists. • What is absent from the Neopragmatist's position is precisely what makes Pragmatism enduring: namely, its metaphysical conception of experience and a practical starting point for philosophical inquiry that such experience dictates. • Pragmatism cannot take the "linguistic turn" insofar as that turn mandates a theoretical starting point. • While Pragmatism's view of truth is perspectival, it is nevertheless not a relativism. • Pace Rorty, Pragmatism need not be hostile to metaphysics; indeed, it demonstrates how pragmatic instrumentalism and metaphysics are complementary. In examining these and other difficulties in Neopragmatism, Hildebrand is able to propose some distinct directions for Pragmatism. Beyond Realism and Antirealism will provoke specialists and non-specialists alike to rethink not only the definition of Pragmatism, but its very purpose.
