The major example used in this voume , the massacre at My Lai, is to be thought of as the occasion for raising and investigating the moral and legal questions of individual and collective responsibility. We are not trying to pass judgment on Lt. Calley, his company, or his superiors; that has been done and surely will be reviewed. We are not pronouncing a verdict on the American system; that has also been done, and it will continue to be done in the years of social retrospection which hopefully will follow the Indochina war. Yet, neither are we putting off judgment. Instead, the philosophers in this volume are examining the grounds for holding various notions of responsibility and the application of such notions of atrocity that was My Lai. In brief, the aim of this book and of the series as a whole, is to produce exciting new philosophical contributions to the major ethical controversies of the day." (p. vii) [Now think of contemporary Moral Issues of sinking "drug" boats and killing their crews in international waters, kidnapping a sovereign nation's President and extraditing him for trial in another country, commandeering oil tankers in international waters, invading another sovereign country to kill drug lords and their followers, using military might on domestic soil to achieve "political" goals of the country's President, etc. // Glossy orange wrappers with Title lettering in thick white letters on top third front cover, just above Editor name lettering in small black letters at upper left middle front cover; Illustration on lower half front cover of two soldiers in helmets, profiled leftward, with an unhelmeted man looking toward reader, partially obscured by a helmet, with a human hand pointing off to the right, suggesting that "responsibility lies elsewhere".

Hardcover. Condizione: New. This is the first in-depth critical overview of the illustrious ceramic career of David Shaner (1934-2002).

This book provides a timely tribute to a highly disciplined clay artist who had a deep understanding of himself, his materials, and the world in which he lived, and offers a fresh perspective on the burgeoning ceramic movement in the United States. Richly illustrated, Following the Rhythms of Life presents a survey of Shaner's work, as it evolved from functional pottery to more sculptural concerns throughout his career.
