Book Description
The year is 3000 AD. In 2720, man's failed social system had destroyed civilization, forcing the remaining humans to begin again. A new social system was adopted that embarked man on the unforeseen path to the Apocalypse. (Excerpt from 5th page of Chapter 18) "The Horsemen approached Jared and Destiny with unimaginable speed. Scant yards away, their horses stopped and reared with anger flashing across their eyes as Gabriel stepped forward forbidding their passage. Gabriel stood in front of them defiantly, a shining white star standing against thunderous clouds of fire. Gabriel seemed so small and fragile, yet Destiny could feel the power surging from him in waves that could be released to instantly subdue the Horsemen if the need arose. The horses stamped and snorted impatiently as the Horsemen looked at Gabriel, at the humans, and then looked up to the heavens. The Horsemen paused and raised their swords to the sky as blood red fire erupted from the edges of their blades."

Writing the Book of the World
Author: Theodore Sider
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 019105741X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 541
Book Description
In order to perfectly describe the world, it is not enough to speak truly. In this ambitious and ground-breaking book, Theodore Sider argues that for a representation to be fully successful, truth is not enough; the representation must also use the right concepts--concepts that 'carve at the joints'--so that its conceptual structure matches reality's structure. There is an objectively correct way to 'write the book of the world'. According to Sider, metaphysics is primarily about fundamentality rather than necessity, conceptual analysis, or ontology. Fundamentality is understood in terms of structure: the fundamental truths are those truths that involve structural (joint-carving) concepts. Sider argues that part of the theory of structure is an account of how structure connects to other concepts. For example, structure can be used to illuminate laws of nature, explanation, reference, induction, physical geometry, substantivity, conventionality, objectivity, and metametaphysics. Another part is an account of how structure behaves. Since structure is a way of thinking about fundamentality, Sider's account implies distinctive answers to questions about the nature of fundamentality. These answers distinguish his theory of structure from other recent theories of fundamentality, including Kit Fine's theory of ground and reality, the theory of truthmaking, and Jonathan Schaffer's theory of ontological dependence.

Reality and Morality
Author: Billy Dunaway
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0198858256
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Reality and Morality develops and defends a framework for moral realism. It defends the idea that moral properties are metaphysically elite, or privileged parts of reality, and argues that realists can hold that this makes them highly eligible as the referents for our moral terms (an application of a thesis sometimes called reference magnetism). Billy Dunaway elaborates on these theses by introducing some natural claims about how we can know about morality, by having beliefs that are free from a kind of risk of error. This package of theses in metaphysics, meta-semantics, and epistemology is motivated with a view to explaining possible moral disagreements. Many writers have emphasized the scope of moral disagreement, and have given compelling examples of possible users of moral language who appear to be genuinely disagreeing, rather than talking past one another, with their use of moral language. What has gone unnoticed is that there are limits to these possible disagreements, and not all possible users of moral language are naturally interpreted as capable of genuine disagreement. The realist view developed in Reality and Morality can explain both the extent of, and the limits to, moral disagreement, and thereby has explanatory power that counts significantly in its favour.

History of Fortification from 3000 BC to AD 1700
Author: Sidney Toy
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1844153584
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
The necessity to defend territory from strong points has been a fact of life since mankind first settled into agricultural communities. Sidney Toy traces the development of the art of fortification from the period of earliest historical examples down to the forts designed for defense by artillery, noting the salient features of the military works as well as the siege operations mounted against them. The castle is considered in its military aspect, as a fortress, and its domestic arrangements only in so far as they are ancillary to its function as a fortification and are necessary in its residence. This book is a product of a lifetime of travel, exploration and architectural study. The author himself surveyed most of the places described, and has drawn clear and fascinating ground maps and cross sections. There are also 200 superb photographs, maps and plans.

Tge book reveals the shocking fraud of our ageing leaders are the billions of currencies loots siphoned to their coffers and the castigation of the YOUTHS as advocates of governments of UTOPIA . They in comparisons abuse their office and pummeled the global polity to endless crises of anarchy, economic sodom and political gomorah, only to wish their so called experiences gathered at higher costs on their people and littered the global economy with their dubious assets. As President and Commander-in-Chief, my war of words are temporary as I am easily consoled by the compromises of stands in tandem with the reasonable conclusions of my revered critics and submissions of my subordinates in the corridors of power. These are no weakness but my attempts to justify all ends via negotiations and to carry ALL along the path of JUSTICE, FAIR DEALS and GOOD GOVERNANCE
