![]() These four are: natural freedom, civil freedom, democratic freedom and moral freedom, and Simpson sets out to consider, as noted, the nature of each of these, how they stand to one another and to the social contact itself. Simpson contends that there are to be found in The Social Contract "four different kinds of freedom that are relevant to politics, yet the nature of each, their relative importance, and their relationship to the social contract after which the work was named are all far from clear" (1). ![]() So the focus is even tighter, although from time to time, and for good reason, Simpson has to look outside The Social Contract to explain or develop his points, most particularly to the Second Discourse (on Inequality) and to Emile, though one or two other pieces of Rousseau's also receive glancing mention. The title of the book slightly misleads although it is called Rousseau's Theory of Freedom its purpose, Simpson says, is in fact "to explain the theory of freedom developed by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his work The Social Contract " (ix). Simpson's book certainly bears this out, even though it is comparatively brief. It is still fairly uncommon for book length critical assessments of Rousseau's work to concentrate on one theme or notion in his thinking rather than taking a broader canvas, but the gains in detail of assessment and depth of analysis are often significant. ![]()

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., art forger Jordan Hennessy sleeps in 20-minute bursts for fear of entering REM sleep, during which she creates sentient clones of herself, each of which "physically cost her something." Neither knows the other exists until mysterious fellow dreamer Bryde visits Ronan's dreamspace and sends him to save Jordan.

Here are a few of the books I took along the road. Though many mysteries have deepened and multiplied, I think I’ve got some idea of the sort of animal you are and I am. ![]() ![]() I’m now a bit less queasy than I was about saying “I love you”. These were the Upper Palaeolithic (the vast majority of our history: we’re still really hunter-gatherers, even if we wear a suit and sit slumped in front of a laptop), the Neolithic (when we caged the natural world and ourselves), and the Enlightenment (when the universe, previously seen as fizzing with consciousness, was declared to be merely a machine). I thought the best way to address them was to go on a journey back through the human story, pausing and immersing myself, using a kind of archaeological method acting, in three pivotal ages – ages when seismic shifts in human self-understanding occurred. So we’re back to the first problem.Īll these questions worried me sick. ![]() I expect, if you’re asked what “you” are, part of your answer would involve saying that you were human. When you say “ I love you”, or “ I‘m afraid”, how confident are you about wielding that mighty and mysterious pronoun? Are you as confident as modern neuroscientists that “you” are just the chemical events that happen in your brain? Does that explanation satisfy you? And then there’s the problem of personal identity. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Losing Hope, readers learn the truth about Dean and how sometimes, in order to move forward, one must first face the past.

TANGERINE is a story humming with interpersonal tension and simmering with the heat of its locale this is truly an outstanding first novel - in fact, I’d call it outstanding even if the author had already had a seasoned career. ![]() In this stunning examination of the intricacies of female friendship, Mangan sets a tense, almost claustrophobic encounter against the backdrop of 1950’s Morocco. Christine Mangan is making her entrance into the literary world in a big way-not only has TANGERINE already received incredible reviews (find my rave here!), it’s also already been optioned for film by George Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures. I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome to CBTB today the author of one of the most exceptional debuts I’ve read in ages - and maybe ever. ![]() Q&A: Christine Mangan, Author of TANGERINE ![]() |
