Real Alternatives, Leibniz’s Metaphysics of Choice


Free Download Real Alternatives, Leibniz’s Metaphysics of Choice By Reginald Osburn Savage (auth.)
1998 | 198 Pages | ISBN: 940106086X | PDF | 5 MB
In the `Preliminary Dissertation’ of his Theodicy, Leibniz declares himself an apologist for the compatibilist doctrines of original sin, election and reprobation propounded by the theologians of the Augsburg Confession. According to those theologians, man’s actions are determined but man retains the power to act otherwise and therefore is responsible for his actions. Savage argues that Leibniz, in formulating his apology, availed himself of both his doctrine of possible worlds and his finite-infinite analysis distinction (the latter being applied within the former). Savage challenges the dogma that Leibniz’s metaphysical principles entail that individuals are powerless to act otherwise and that God cannot conceive of them acting otherwise. He argues that interpreters deduce the dogma from those principles with the aid of dubious extra-textual premises, for example, that a Leibnizian individual has only one complete concept or cannot be persons other than the person it actually is.

Weapon of Choice Fighting Gun Violence While Respecting Gun Rights [Audiobook]


Free Download Ian Ayers, Fredrick E. Vars, Rick Adamson (Narrator), "Weapon of Choice: Fighting Gun Violence While Respecting Gun Rights"
English | ASIN: B08ZNWNH3Z | 2020 | MP3@64 kbps | ~06:02:00 | 172 MB
Efforts to reduce gun violence in the United States face formidable political and constitutional barriers. Legislation that would ban or broadly restrict firearms runs afoul of the Supreme Court’s current interpretation of the Second Amendment. And gun rights advocates have joined a politically savvy firearm industry in a powerful coalition that stymies reform.
Ian Ayres and Fredrick Vars suggest a new way forward. We can decrease the number of gun deaths, they argue, by empowering individual citizens to choose common-sense gun reforms for themselves. Rather than ask politicians to impose one-size-fits-all rules, we can harness a libertarian approach-one that respects and expands individual freedom and personal choice – to combat the scourge of gun violence.

We all know that actions speak louder than words. We may say I love you, but do our actions back up that claim? Elder Lynn G. Robbins teaches us that love is more than a feeling it is a commitment, a promise to be responsible, respectful, and responsive to the needs and experiences of other. And like any other action we undertake, perfecting the act of love requires a lifetime of practice and good choices.
