Описание:
Radical Hospitality addresses a timely and challenging subject for contemporary philosophy: the ethical responsibility of opening borders, psychic and physical, to the stranger. Kearney and Fitzpatrick show how radical hospitality happens by opening oneself in narrative exchange to someone or something other than ourselves—by crossing borders, whether literal or figurative. Against the fears, dogmas, and demands for certainty and security that push us toward hostility, we also desire to wager with the unknown, leap into the unanticipated, and celebrate the new, a desire this book seeks to recognize and cultivate. The book contends that hospitality means chancing one’s hand, one’s arm, one’s very self, thereby opening a vital space for new voices to be heard, shedding old skins, and welcoming new understandings. Radical Hospitality engages with urgent moral conversations concerning identity, nationality, immigration, commemoration, and justice, moving between theory and praxis and on to the formative life of the classroom. Building on key critical debates on the question of hospitality ranging from phenomenology, hermeneutics and deconstruction to neo-Kantian moral critique and Anglo-American virtue ethics, the book explores novel possibilities for an ethics of hospitality in our contemporary world of border anxiety, refugee crises, and ecological catastrophe.

Описание: In the 1840s an organization of German noblemen attempted to settle thousands of German emigrants on the Texas frontier. Nassau Plantation, located in northern Fayette County, was a significant part of this story. No one has adequately documented the role of the slave plantation or given convincing explanation from the German point of view until now.

Описание: MACK 1 Red vs. Blue is a fast paced, topical mystery thriller.
A SNIPER FIRES ... CEO DOWN
A New York power couple is shot at their engagement party. The victims are two ambitious conservatives out to seize a mainstream media empire. The attacker is a skilled and relentless sniper-for-hire. America's vicious political divide may have finally escalated to murder.
CHASING THE ASSASSIN
For NYPD Detective Mack McCormick, this case is personal. When he was a child, his mother was murdered by political radicals. Mack and his team track the assassin, who continues his attacks in Manhattan.
POLITICAL SNIPING
The Red vs. Blue political battle has moved from the talk shows to the streets. The media are in a frenzy. Everyone is taking sides, and the controversial case impacts everything from the love life of Detective McCormick to the safety of his beloved, adventurous grandmother.
A FINALE WITH A TWIST
Finally, at a midtown landmark, Mack must foil a plan to hunt down and kill the new hope of the conservative movement. Even after the shooting ends, his work is just beginning. The action switches to the interrogation room, where Mack tries to piece together the conspiracy. He and his team from the Park East Detective Squad take to the streets one more time to gather conclusive evidence and close the case.
THE CONSERVATIVE DETECTIVE
Detective Mack McCormick is a sympathetic hero, one who relies on smarts more than brawn. He is college educated, savvy and streetwise, a product of the Giuliani era NYPD policing reforms. A political conservative, Mack is a fish out of water in liberal Manhattan, and his politics do impact his love life. Mack also has his hands full looking out for his fashionable, sophisticated ninety year old liberal grandmother Francesca, still living on her own and loving every minute of it.
TONE AND THEME
This novel features the short chapters and fast pace popular among thriller readers. The tone also incorporates optimism, humor, topicality, intelligence, and loving relationships.
SETTING
Mack 1 Red vs. Blue takes you into the world of the Upper East Side of New York, with side visits to upscale metropolitan area summer resorts. You will visit the offices of midtown media power players, see legal gladiators battle in the Criminal Courts building, and sit in police interrogation rooms where cameras are rolling, but nevertheless so are the suspects.
